The Martial Unity

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook as all peak Sages converged upon the leader of the evolutionaries, who stood in the sky, peering down upon the world below him.

His ephemeral existence drew their attention.

They struggled to fathom the depths of his being even as they pounced on him, hoping to cripple the leader of the evolutionaries.

Blood Lord Vrukshus surged forth with a tremendously powerful forbidden attack, one that caused his own body to tear with the sheer amount of power it generated. His fist flew forth even as he gritted his teeth.

And yet, once more, a single touch was all it took.

TAP

His eyes widened as the power of his attack disappeared.

CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!

“Arghhh!!!”

With a single flick, the powerful being managed to almost spontaneously send cracks across Blood Vrukshus, before gently sidestepping a powerful shooting charge from the Martial Pontifex of the Virodhabhasa Theocracy.

Sage Sayfeel surged from his blind spot, launching a tremendously swift and lethal ambush, hoping to kill him in one fell swoop.

And yet—

WHOOSH

He passed right through the evolutionary’s body.

As though the entity didn’t even exist in the material world.

And yet, he clearly did, for a gentle shove from the evolutionary launched him a great distance away. The Nestforger bent the very earth around the evolutionary leader, causing a powerful collapsing domain of great pressure and force to converge upon the evolutionary leader.

And yet, the entity’s body shined with blinding light and heat as he instantaneously melted the very ‘earth’ that the Nestforger was bending into a single rock, completely negating any chances of earth-bending against it.

Matriarch Nephi surged forth with great determination as she peered into the very future, foreseeing what was about to unfold.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

The evolutionary entity calmly evaded all her attacks as it smoothly shifted with great elegance and speed.

One moment, she was merely launching a tirade of powerful and swift swings one after another, the very next moment, her fingers found themselves an inch away from the evolutionary’s eyes.

And yet, not even that was enough to reach the evolutionary.

CLASP

Before her attack could cross an inch, its hand had already shot up, clasping her wrist with an ironclad and unyielding strength.

BOOOOOM!!!

“Rgh!”

A thundering blow crashed into her gut before she could even foresee the future, blasting her away as the other Martial Sages converged on it with grave severity.

The peak Sages gritted their teeth as they went all out together to pressure the evolutionary leader with their power. From combinations to collaborative attacks and other immaculate teamwork learned in their eleven-year joint siege of the Beast Domain.

And yet, they were unable to gain the upper hand.

BOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

A maelstrom of powerful attacks of a variety of different natures and high principles converged upon the powerful evolutionary leader. They learned that they could slow down the rate at which they got adaptively evolved if they bombarded their opponent with diverse attacks, making it so that there was no one-size-fits-all convenience.

The pressure forced the evolutionary’s body to change as it adaptively evolved on a genetic level. Some parts of its body turned liquid while other parts of its body turned into a plasma-like energetic gas. Its body shifted as it smoothly adaptively evolved on a genetic level.

What surprised them was the fact that, despite not ‘smelling’ of all esoteric substances, it was comprised of many fantastical substances with extraordinary qualities.

It turned out that even within conventional matter, there were all kinds of magical substances within their depths.

The evolutionary deployed all kinds of non-Newtonian substances, meta-materials, quasi-particles, superconductors, degenerate matter, stable-island heavy elements, as the powerful evolutionary deployed the full extent of such supremely extraordinary matter to conjure all kinds of magical effects the likes of which they had never seen before.

It allowed the evolutionary entity to defend and even attack against several peak Martial Sages all by himself with a certain degree of ease. At the very least, none of the peak Sages got the impression that they were pushing him anywhere near his limit.

It was a level of power that they weren’t certain whether even Transcendent Candidates would be capable of.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!

A single attack blasted them all away with tremendous power.

“Rghhh!”

They grimaced with great pain as the powerful entity overcame their collective efforts with his supreme adaptive evolution. Each and every single high principle they had deployed against him was rendered negated, and he didn’t even look like he was pushed to his very limit.

Even as they rallied to change tactics, the rest of the evolutionary army had long moved on, while the strongest among them fought with the other Martial Sages and the Martial Masters.

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook as the rest of the evolutionary army flooded forth across the edge of South West Panama, as they began annexing territory and setting marking territory as though they already owned the land and the battle was already complete.

The evolutionaries, most of whom were far too weak to deal with the Martial Sages and Martial Masters, began attacking the few human polities in the geographical vicinities that were far too scantily defended against their new invaders.

“ARGGHHH!”

“WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE?!”

“They’re… they’re slightly translucent! Are they made of glass?!”

Unlike the leader, most of the evolutionaries were partially opaque in their being, while the evolutionaries that fought the Martial Masters were more translucent, and those that fought the Martial Sages were more transparent.

Only the leader appeared to be on the verge of becoming almost invisible, barring a distinct silhouette.

Regardless, the Martial Sages persisted, fighting a losing battle.

With most of the peak Sages struggling against the leader of the evolutionaries, the rest of the Martial Sages were unable to push back against the more elite and transparent evolutionaries that functioned at the level of peak Sages.

It became evidently clear that Bodhisattva Maitreyi’s prophecy had come true.

They were too weak to stop what had come for their continent.

Sage Sayfeel gritted his teeth with frustration.

“Retreat.”

And thus, the Panamic Alliance suffered its first defeat in repelling invaders.

The evolutionaries had set foot upon the Panama Continent.
