The Martial Unity

"If the Virodhabhasa Faith does not have the information I seek, then who does?" Rui asked, out of curiosity.

"Powerful technocratic organizations, institutes, as well as nations with powerful technological foundations," Master Deivon offered. "The one organization that most likely possessed the most information on it is the Esocline Research Confederation."

This was not the first time he had mentioned that name. "If I remember correctly, that was one of the partners of the Virodhabhasa Faith that you mentioned was responsible for the carriage infrastructure of the Virodhabhasa Faith."

"Correct," Master Deivon noted. "It is a special organization, one that is quite rare in the modern world."

"Why is that?"

"It is one of the few states that completely rely on esoteric technology and eschews Martial Art," Master Deivon replied with a complicated expression.

"What?" Rui's eyes furrowed. "There exist states like that?"

The man nodded. "Yes, for better or worse. The state evolved from what was initially an association of research and development organizations that were looking for a foundation. Due to certain circumstances, they were unable and unwilling to rely on external Martial Artists. These led to the increasing amount of self-sufficiency and independence, allowing them to become one of the few truly powerful states with no Martial power."

Rui couldn't even believe what he was hearing. Rejecting Martial Art in the age of Martial Art absurd, it was like trying to reject technology back on Earth while still trying to be competitive as an organization.

It was not possible, technological supremacy reigned the world.
