Chapter 2727 True Adaptive Evolution
The Anti-Life had dug nearly a thousand kilometers under the surface, overcoming nearly every single defense that the underground Rui had mounted until he finally reached his target.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! @@@@
His hand reached out into the dirt.
"Found yo—!"
His eyes widened with shock as his hand touched solid, smooth rock instead of skin and flesh.
A chilling realization dawned upon him. He had not found Rui.
No.
He had only found an earth clone of Rui hidden within the depths of the earth.
"You would be surprised how convenient the Scriptures of Terra are."
Rui's voice reached him from behind.
It reached him up.
Beyond the surface.
The Anti-Life's eyes widened with shock as he spotted Rui more than a thousand kilometers in the sky. "You..."
"You can do all sorts of things with them," Rui muttered as he enjoyed the blinding light of the Sun juicing him up. "Like doing earth-bending thousands of kilometers in the sky and..."
His gaze turned to the underground Anti-Life with perilous eyes.
There were two thousand kilometers between the two of them, and yet, Rui's words were loud and clear to the underground Master.
"...And creating hyperfocused supervolcanoes by altering the structure of the crust ever so slightly."
RUMBLE!!!!!
Thus, Rui deployed the Forge of Creation to create the Earth Clone technique that he had seen in the Nest of Terra while hiding it just enough to make him think it was the real Rui but not beyond his senses.
And thus, while the Anti-Life made a fool of himself hunting down Rui's clone under the ground, Rui had used Greater Phantomind Void to perch himself in the sky in the Sun's embrace, absorbing as much of its energy as he could while manipulating heaven to manipulate earth to not only produce a sham defense but also trigger a supervolcano.
This was something that was only possible thanks to channeling his power through the optimal path of action.
The plan had unfolded perfectly.
BOOOOOM!!!!!
The balled-up Master desperately protected himself from the pressure created not just by Rui's attack but also by the Sages who deployed their domain to inadvertently concentrate the power more on the Anti-Life, causing him to suffer even more damage.
"If you weren't so delusionally arrogant, you could have seen through my deception."
Had he not been so utterly narcissistic, he would have noticed that Rui's earth-bending was a bit weak, just enough to grow suspicious of whether he was actually reaching the real Rui. While he still would not have noticed Rui in the sky thanks to Phantomind Void, he might not have fallen for Rui's strategy so cleanly and smoothly.
Yet, the arrogance that he displayed yesterday, but also in the battle where he refused to go for the logical and rational choice of ganging up on Rui, told Rui that there was a good chance he would not question these subtle clues and simply chalk to his own superiority or because Rui was a 'fraud.'
Even his character traits had been harnessed into Rui's strategy.
He created the most optimal outcome by choosing a strategic solution that worked most effectively and even better than a tactical solution like the Forge of Creation.
This was what it meant to adaptively evolve.
It wasn't simply just using grandiose techniques like the Forge of Creation and other systems of thought blindly and spamming the same techniques over and over. It meant fully considering the environment, opponent, and situational circumstances and choosing the one path out of an endless set of possibilities that allowed him to adaptively evolve against his opponent optimally.
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!
By the time the supervolcano finally calmed down, the Anti-Life emerged from cracklingly hot lava, covered in burns and wounds.
He gazed at Rui with murderous eyes.
"I will kill you if it's the last thing I do."
He surged towards Rui with an astronomical speed.
