The Martial Unity

The next day, Rui immediately got to work.

He didn’t want to spend even a single unnecessary day in the Britannian Empire, unlike with the Sekigahara Confederate, where he was able to relax much more despite them having been sworn enemies with the Kandrian Empire until very recently.

He held an especially deep blame for the Britannian Empire for the events of the Great East Panamic War.

In a field gathered countless initiates of the Britannian Royal Army, many Squires and Seniors.

Many others had gathered on the sidelines to witness the extraordinary ability of the Dawnbringer that had earned the epithet of Path Raiser. It was precisely this ability that had been one of the major triggers for the third Great East Panamic War.

And now they got to witness it.

Minutes passed as Rui activated his Realms of power, putting all of them in powerful illusions as he rapidly got to work.

And then, the galore of breakthroughs began, stunning everyone where they stood. It was truly shocking to actually witness the spontaneous breakthroughs of so many different people all at once. They witnessed the birth of brand-new Martial Apprentices, Seniors, and Masters, thoroughly enraptured by the impossible miracle that unfolded before them.

None of them liked the Dawnbringer.

It couldn’t be helped.

Until recently, he had been one of their most dreaded enemies in war. He had gotten stronger and stronger at a rate that beggared the mind and had overwhelmingly dominated any battlefield that he had been part of.

And yet, despite the fact that they didn’t like him, they couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for him for giving them the blessing of breakthroughs despite the fact that they had been enemies.

Frankly, nobody would have blamed him if he hadn’t shown up to the Britannian Empire; it was entirely understandable, even if it was unwise for the strength of human civilization. And yet, he showed up nonetheless and adhered to his stated commitment.

“Huff…” Rui heaved a sigh. “That took a while; let’s get started with the Hellbringer model while we are at it.”

The newly broken-through Masters didn’t even have the opportunity to catch their breath as they were immediately thrown into the ranks of the old Masters while Rui prepared himself for the Hellbringer embedding.

He took a good look at the Masters before him.

He could sense hostility in their minds, more so than any of the other Martial Artists.

It made sense. They were the ones who had to deal with him on the battlefield.

They couldn’t overcome their enmity with him so easily.

And yet, he could also sense a deep desolation within them. A sense of insufficiency that had risen within them contrasted sharply with the domineering pride that he recalled of them during the war.

This must have been what the Prime Minister was referring to.

“I will be doing a little extra today,” Rui informed them. “Let’s see if it works out.”

They frowned at his words with a hint of confusion.

“Now then, heed my instruction carefully so that I can directly create and embed my system of thought in your yet-to-exist mind palaces,” Rui told them with a serious tone as he conveyed several more instructions.

Only when everything was ready did he commence.

“Rrrgghh!”

They gritted their teeth as an extremely heavy flow of information entered their subconscious mind.

It was the largest flood of information that they ever experienced in their entire lives. Unbeknownst to them, the only information they were receiving was the highly condensed and refined model formed from the patterns in the raw data that Rui originally received from the Elder Tree.

They were merely the most useful and practicable parts of the data that Rui once almost went brain-dead to withstand. The benefit of merely imparting the model but not the underlying data from which the model was ultimately derived was that it was easier to spread it around.

However, the demerits were that they didn’t understand the model since they didn’t understand where or how it came from.

In other words, they would never gain the Tree of Life Enlightenment.

The Enlightenment was one of the reasons that Rui was so extraordinarily effective against beasts and monsters.

It was more than just a system of thought.

He didn’t need to think.

He just saw.

Even if he was looking at an army of beasts, he didn’t need to individually process all of them with the Tree of Life model.

His enlightenment just allowed him to see each and every one of their personal Hells all at

once.

Without even the slightest bit of exertion.

Those without the enlightenment needed to exert their Martial Mind and needed to individually extrapolate the antithetical hell of each species. This took far more time and

energy.

Rui knew that this wasn’t just because the Hellbringer was incomplete. Ieyasu, who had inherited the complete Tree of Life model, had also not gained enlightenment. Thus, for now, there were still only three people who possessed the enlightenment of self.

Regardless, the Hellbringer model was still far, far better than nothing. One did not have to be as absurdly powerful as Rui in order to be extremely effective against beasts and monsters.

In addition to the Hellbringer model, Rui also imparted something a little extra.

Knowledge.

Otherworldly knowledge of the very fundamentals of the universe.

Their eyes widened as he dumped some theoretical knowledge of high principles.

Each of them received something different.

Something that was synergetic to their Martial Art.

This extended the session, leaving them exhausted by the time they were done with it.

“What…” Master Brigsby gasped for air. “What was that?”

“Some of the principles of Maxwel’s Theory of Electromagnetism and the principles of electromagnetic radiation,” Rui calmly replied with a knowing tone. “You use light as your primary weapon. Yet, you don’t even know what it is. You don’t even know why it emerges. You don’t even know that visible light is but a small section of a nigh-infinite spectrum. Should you harness the power of electromagnetic radiation to its fullest, you will surely be able to reach the peak of the Master Realm.”
