Testing Phase

The tsunami flooded the entire world with a violent torrent, eroding any and everything that it touched. It changed form in accordance to what impeded it. Ieyasu found that the information flux grew increasingly difficult to resist as the Martial Embodiment subconsciously adaptively evolved to his resistance.

He narrowed his eyes as he experienced a greater mental pressure threatening to cripple his mind more than anything he had ever experienced before. The evolution in his Martial Embodiment came with an even greater flux of information that weighed down on one's consciousness, threatening to crush it.

"I see…" A single whisper escaped Rui. "I see now…"

A deep sense of understanding and comprehension radiated from him.

An extraordinary depth of power radiated from within him. 

"It's almost as if…" he whispered. "…I knew nothing about adaptive evolution up until now."

An unfathomable statement.
