The Martial Unity

Kane heaved a sigh, trying to relax.

Unfortunately, he was hoping for too much.

"AAAARGHHRGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRHAHAGRRGAGRG!!!"

His eyebrows furrowed with irritation as Rui's scream-laugh fusions disturbed the serenity and harmony of the Garden of Salvation.

It had been a few months since the Elder Tree had transmitted all his knowledge on life in Gaia to Rui. In totality, the two of them had been in the Garden of Salvation for nine months now.

Only a year remained till the Emperor of Harmony died.

"ARRRGHAGAGHHRGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRRGHAGGRRGAGRG!!!"

Kane could not help but wonder if they were doomed from the very start.

They might have had a chance if Rui didn't have a fatal flaw with being extraordinarily driven towards adaptive evolution, even if it came at the cost of healing his father. Yet, because Rui had gotten seduced by the Elder Tree, Kane had to wait until the two of them were done with their little mind orgy.

"Tough life…" Kane remarked as he relaxed in an identical replica of his living quarters in the Kandrian Empire.

"AAAARGHHRGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRHAHAGRRGAGRG!!!"

Of course, Kane didn't strictly mind it if Rui's dad died.

After all, it wasn't like it was his dad, though he wouldn't mind his own asshole of a father dying either. He also knew that Rui didn't have much, if any at all, of an emotional attachment to his father. The biggest reason he was searching for the Divine Doctor was that he didn't want to ascend to the throne as the Third Emperor of the Kandrian Empire.
