The Martial Unity

Chapter 2826: The End

Rui had been caught entirely off-guard because not only was Path Entanglement extremely powerful, it was also undetectable.

The SOUL System relied on the mind sense of the Martial Mind to detect and decrypt subconscious movement intent.

However, the Path Entangler was not even a conscious action, the spread of cells was a passively occurring mechanism as long as the monster made physical contact with his opponent. Thus, the powerful technique had not shown up on Ruiʼs SOUL System.

Primordial Instinct had also failed to notice this because of how microscopically small and subtle the technique was. Even at that very moment, Rui was unable to identify where the hell his nervous system had been compromised.

It completely bypassed every form of check that Rui had, hijacking his nervous system and depriving his brain of any and all control over his body.

On top of that, this was clearly a feature of his Martial Body rather than technique. With extremely divergent Martial Bodies, it was much more difficult to anticipate what was possible.

Path Entanglement was a combination of principles of microbiology, biotechnology, and quantum mechanics.

A very odd combination of fields that not even Rui could have possibly predicted. Rui hadnʼt even imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that it was possible to take over someoneʼs body in this fashion. Quantum entanglement was an extremely delicate phenomenon.

Even the slightest exposure to energy or force would disrupt the entanglement between two electrons. Simply maintaining it even in a lab setting was extremely difficult and required a highly isolated environment.

It was truly remarkable that he had managed to entangle the neurons of his brain with the muscles and cells across his entire body, but that was still plausible when one considered that he most likely had tremendous control over his entire body internally. It was possible to use a combination of other high principles to isolate certain parts of the cell from any external influence.

What Rui truly didnʼt understand was how the hell he had managed to accomplish that inside someone elseʼs body.

In reality, the entangling agents that the monster had injected into Ruiʼs body subtly and slowly were made up of substances with extraordinarily high permittivity and permeability that prevented electromagnetic radiation from disrupting the entangled quantum states of the molecules and electrons of the synapses of the nervous system.

This allowed the monster to create little microscopic chambers of entangled neurons that sabotaged their own body in a horrific turn of mutiny and betrayal. Not only could the monster use to stop the brainʼs messages from reaching the muscles, he could also create the illusion of pain, and multiply it a hundredfold.

What was especially chilling was that Path Entanglement was not limited to merely the nervous system, but also the brain.

It was theoretically possible to mind control a person by overtaking the circuitry that contained the very essence of their soul and all the information describing their very being.

And yet, the monsterʼs goal was simple despite all the avenues of pursuit he had at his disposal.

”I will have you shed your weakness.”

His tone was chilling.

What followed was even worse.

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

The monster of a man bore his heart out as he helped Rui with pure sincerity.

Each blow that ravaged Ruiʼs body came from the heart.

It came with the hope and sincerity that they would help him shed his weakness.

The strategic outlook deteriorated steadily.

Blow after blow, Ruiʼs condition worsened.

Bruises. Cuts. Wounds.

An endless number of them covered his entire body as he tried his best to mitigate the damage with Nemean Blossom, a technique that didnʼt require active control of his body.

”Itʼs useless.”

The monsterʼs tone was chilling.

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

He continued battering Rui with attacks, targeting vitals to inflict maximum damage to his condition.

The liver.

The solar plexus.

The diaphragm.

The throat.

It took everything for Rui to lower the rate at which he incurred damage.

And yet, it could not be stopped.

Amare gritted her teeth, clenching her fists as she struggled to resist the urge to intervene. On one hand, she didnʼt want Rui to die.

On the other, she knew Rui would hate her for intervening in his battle. She simply stood with a pained expression as the monster unleashed an onslaught of attacks that chipped away at his health and condition.

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

He did many a thing, shifting vitals in and around as much as he could. That wasnʼt all. ”Breathing Crucifix.”

The monster choked as he felt his breathing shackle up, leaving him suffocating for air asthmatically. Hypnosis didnʼt particularly need conscious control over his body the way that normal Martial Art did, allowing him to inflict a maximum Breathing Crucifix on his opponent that prevented him from using his full power.

This would reduce the rate at which he incurred damage due to the substantially lower output. On top of that, shackling his breathing was especially damning in his current wounded state of body, giving Rui more time.

And yet, it merely delayed the inevitable.

BOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!

The monster viciously ravaged his opponent.

Ruiʼs body grew bloody with wounds and cuts. Not a single inch of skin was unharmed.

His muscles were ravaged as two minds fought for control over them. His flesh tore under the onslaught of attacks that ensued from his opponent.

His bones cracked.

And yet, that wasnʼt the worst part.

The worst part was the sickening feeling in his heart at losing control over his body.

It was far more intolerable than all the pain in the world. BOOOOOM!!!!!

His vision blurred as a thundering blow rocked his skull.

His defensive efforts were completely eroded.

The air boiled with peril as the monster sharpened his hand into a jab. He coiled his body, drawing out every last ounce of power that his body had to offer before the final blow surged.

It surged towards Ruiʼs heart.

It was the end.

BOOOOOM!!!!!
