The Martial Unity

He narrowed his eyes as he prepared himself. He had been analyzing the abyssfeeder deeply, gaining insight into it with every movement it made. There were several things that he found out about it.

Its patterns were actually incredibly simple, as a creature that adapted and changed in the same manner that plants naturally sought out sunlight, it did not possess complex thought that caused some incredibly complex patterns in behavior.

That sounded well and good, but it came with a deep problem

Its patterns were simple, it was just that the patterns continued changing as the body did, undoing a bit of his progress every time he changed it.

It was frustrating because it was in a way adapting to his adaptation by making it difficult to adapt to him. Of course, he knew that this wasn't actually the case. This was an unintended consequence of the nature of existence as opposed to an active adaptation measure that it took to counter his adaptation.

Nonetheless, it had been effective. He was not able to form a perfect predictive model because, by the time he did, it had already formed a different body that mostly invalidated the predictive model he had built before. That was the reason he needed to come up with something new.

He refused to believe that the VOID algorithm had become obsolete. This was the first time that something had refuted his predictive model so definitively.

However, he was firm in his belief in the pattern recognition model of the VOID algorithm. The universe and all of reality were made up of all kinds of patterns on every level. Why would a single monster defy that rule?

It didn't, he just needed to expand his scope.

If the patterns of its movements keep changing with its body then… Rui's eyes had narrowed. I'll just have to create a predictive model to predict the future changes in its body, based on the past!

That was the goal he had established for himself early on in the battle.

Since he knew that the adaptive choices made by the abyssfeeder were not as a result of thought, but more of a result of biochemical processes that followed a whole bunch of patterns such as the laws of physics and the principles of biochemistry.

All he needed to do was pay attention to the right parameters and begin noting down parameters.
