The Martial Unity

It wasn’t just the forces of Gaia that were stunned by the water that swept throughout the entirety of the solar system. The trillions of people that lived upon Gaia were even more shocked by the reality-defying event.

FWOOSH!

“AHHHHH!”

“Look! It’s that water thing the Emperor does!”

“No, look, it’s different! You can actually touch the water and drink it! It’s… It’s real!”

The countless people within the Panama Continent had long grown familiar with Rui’s Martial Embodiment, which was why they could tell the difference from before.

What was once an illusion had become actually real.

And yet, despite the tsunami of water that crashed into Gaia and all those who lived upon it, it didn’t so much as put a scratch on their body.

WHOOSH…

Instead, the water gently brushed past them, wrapping around them protectively, making them feel safe. The Martial Embodiment swept across all of Gaia as it formed a protective barrier, making it impossible for anything to harm the sentient planet and its inhabitants.

On the contrary, the water was harsh and hostile to the nebulars that had invaded Sol. It overwhelmed them, even going as far as to crush the weaker ones, leaving only the larger and stronger nebulars to be able to survive the sheer force of his Martial Embodiment.

FWOOSH!

Water had spread across Sol as Rui’s Martial Embodiment radiated across the information dimension. And yet, Rui’s attention was no longer fixed outward.

No.

His Transcendent gaze glanced upon his dying body that merely weightlessly floated in the darkness of the cloud of nebula gas.

The Anthean cells had become opaque, on the verge of death, while the color of his skin had grown a sickly blue due to the chill of space. His blood leaked continuously as his body struggled to keep itself alive.

His cells had partially ruptured upon the impact of the expanding nova that he had borne with his body. Before he did anything else, he needed to fix his body. Of course, he could do so with the Martialverse in the blink of an eye, rewriting his entire body to be as it was.

But if he actually used his Martialverse to a great extent, he would disappear.

That was the price of the Martialverse.

Transcendent Arthur had destroyed a singularity, and he paid the price of eleven years of non-existence for it. Of course, destroying with force a point of infinite density was undoubtedly a heavier violation of the laws of reality than fixing his body with it was. He didn’t need to use his Martialverse for such a trivial matter, tempting as it was.

He could fix his body even without it.

What would have taken some time before, he could do in an instant.

And indeed, he did.

WHOOSH

In the blink of an eye, he restored his body to its very peak as far as health went.

WHOOSH

As if he had cast a magical spell, the ruptured cells returned to their normal selves while his body became translucent once more. His wounds reverted to how they were before, while his bones, muscles, flesh, and all of his internal organs were completely healed. The methods that he used far exceeded anything he had ever used before. It didn’t use Weaving Blood, and it certainly didn’t use the tedious quantum tweezers he had grown accustomed to using.

No.

It merely used the flow of causality.

Understanding what causes had what effects allowed him to find the fastest path from getting from an injured body to a perfectly healed one.

It was a realm of mastery of causality that was utterly impossible within the Sage Realm.

Only someone whose consciousness had broken out of its shackles with the Enlightenment of Transcendence and could behold the information dimension itself could achieve such exquisite mastery of causality.

Right down to the very last atom.

His eyes flared with a boundless willpower as his gaze fixed upon the countless space monsters that emerged from the countless wormholes that spread across the entirety of the boundary of their solar system.

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook as his Martialverse flared with limitless power. His Martial Embodiment imposed itself upon reality as the very nature of his body shifted in a manner that defied the law of causality.

RUMBLE!!!!!!

His body became Water.

The very essence of existence had become Water.

His Martial Embodiment fully imposed itself on reality as Water became all there was.

RUMBLE!!!!!!

The world shook as the tsunami of water surged forth, sweeping across each and every single nebular in Sol. An unfathomable sight of Water sweeping across reality in a way that seemed almost cartoonish unfolded before each and every single person in Sol.

“He…” Kane’s eyes widened. “He’s wiping them all out by himself!”

RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The unending army of nebulars that continuously emerged from wormholes across the border of the solar system was swept away by destructive wormholes that ravaged them. It didn’t matter how big these alien space monsters were.

It didn’t matter how strong and destructive they were.

Before the might of a Martial Transcendent, they were all but weak and fragile. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Collisions that threatened to shatter reality itself exploded across the entire solar system as the flood of Water overwhelmed each and every single nebular, crushing them under the weight of his Martial Embodiment, overwriting reality itself.

And yet, he was just getting started.

Rui adaptively evolved to them as he rapidly overwrote reality with the information of the Yggdrasil System, creating an environment that was antithetical to their very existence. “A̴̛͚̦̖̖̎͊̈́̀̐̅͂̚ḃ̴̫̹͔̙͌͜͜ỳ̶̡̯̬͙͓̘̐ş̵̫̭̭͍͎̞̇͑̔͗̎̌̍̇̕͠s̴̡̨̛̟͈̻̼̫̩͈̻̗̺̉̾͐̇̓̓̈́͐͛̉̾̋̈̕ ̴̛̗͚̬̑̍̌́̋͋̔̈̃͗̽̓̆̈ö̵̡̨̧̬̙̟̩͎̪̙͕̤̺͂̔̍͒͛͐̾́͜͝f̴̛͕̲̲̳͚̓͛ ̴͖̈́͊͗͊̽̍̋͠Ĝ̵̨̼̖̜̓̽ŕ̴̠̞͍̕͝ͅa̸̡̛̱̜͔̯̬͇͎̤̭̹̫̅͊͐͒̿̿̔̋͂̉v̶͔̙͚̪͕̣͓̥̦̺͉͖͋̈́̿͐̋ͅi̷̢̨͎̼͇̗̱̬̣̲͔͔̓́̒͊̓͛̂̅̈́ͅt̶̨̬͚̥̭͑ͅy̸̝̫̗̝͈̺̜̖̥͎̏̀̒͛̾̿̊̓͛̌̉̆̓͜͠.”

A powerful gravitational field.

One that crushed upon their bodies, pushing them back from where they came. Creatures that were evolved for an environment without gravity were doomed to be crushed in the presence of one.

RUMBLE!!!!!!

The world shook violently as Water and gravity crushed and pushed against the nebulars, turning the tide around as it singlehandedly pushed back against the cloud of nebula gas that had swarmed over their entire solar system.

RUMBLE!!!!!!

Bit by bit, the cloud withdrew, turning back as Rui pushed everything back into the countless wormholes that had funneled them into their solar system in the first place.

RUMBLE!!!!!!
