The Martial Unity

"Listen, I'm not trying to dampen your excitement, but you didn't forget why we came to the Garden of Salvation in the first place, right?"

Rui paused. "Right..."

In truth, he had almost gotten carried away in his excitement.

However, the reason that they had entered the Garden of Salvation was to find the Divine Doctor, who had embarked on a voyage to find it. Rui heaved a sigh, glancing at all the animals that peacefully lived in the Garden of Salvation. "Alright, let's get started. I can do what I need to while observing the Garden of Salvation."

His goal was to study how the Garden of Salvation manipulated its environments to suit the many living beings that resided in this world. In addition, he also wanted to understand what environments suited what animals.

The reason he cared for the latter was because understanding what was perfectly suited for a species was the same as understanding what was perfectly suited against a species as well.

After all, if Rui learned that a given species required, and had evolved specifically for, an environment with great pressure and heat to remain healthy, then he could logically infer that the best environment to counter said species would be one with low pressure and low heat.

Thus, by doing that for all species in the Garden of Salvation, he could learn everything that he needed to know how to counter them based on the information that he learned from the Garden of Salvation on each of them.

The best part was that he could do all of this by simply observing each creature and its corresponding environment while he scanned their memories for the Divine Doctor.

"Come on, let's get started," Rui remarked, flying down to the many living beings hosted in the Garden of Salvation. "We'll start scanning them one by one, and when we've found intelligence on the Divine Doctor, we'll try to get out of here."

Kane peered at him suspiciously. "Really?"

"...Well, we'll see."

"I knew it." Kane snorted.

"Give me a break." Rui grinned as the two of them arrived at their first candidates.

A group of germanian boars glanced up at Rui, who arrived before them.
