The Martial Unity

Father and son talked more about what was to come as they laid out their plans for the future and came to an agreement on a large number of things.

"I'm glad that I have plenty of forewarning this time for an impending war," Rui remarked with appreciation. "That is a luxury that is afforded to very few people."

Rui had already begun to plot out his path forward for when his father would inevitably trigger a war with his peers.

He didn't have a precise estimate for when the timeline for war would begin, of course.

But that was fine, as long as he knew it was coming, he could grow stronger.

He would equip himself with the power to deal with the war.

With the power to adaptively evolve to war.

He didn't even know what that looked like.

In the past five years, much of his growth had been maximized to adaptively evolve to the Beast Domain. The Tree of Life, Muspelheim, and Niflheim were most optimal against inhuman species. The Tree of Life did indeed treat each Martial Body as its own species and thus was effective. After all, although every Martial Body was unique, they were merely hyper-evolved human beings. Each Martial Body, although its own species in a sense, was still a part of the Tree of Life.

Thus, Rui was able to see exactly what kind of environment was most suited to taking them down. However, the difference was that Martial Artists tended not to have the extreme weaknesses against temperatures that beasts did.

Thus, Muspelheim and Niflheim, while quite damning against the denizens of the Beast Domain, were not nearly as powerful against Martial Artists.

Of course, not all the progress that he had made in the Beast Domain was most effective against the beasts of the Beast Domain. The SOUL System that he had developed in the region was also effective against Martial Artists. Unfortunately, he didn't have much experience using it against Martial Artists, unlike against beasts.
