Chapter 2525 Contrasting Weapon Philosophies

The Esoterist introduced more solutions and innovations than Rui had expected.

Not all of them were super impactful compared to his siege weapon innovations and his esotractor, of course. He offered a lot of low-hanging fruits that offered marginal benefits but were still worth it.

Every ounce of help mattered

His overall presentation stretched out for nearly an hour as he discussed a variety of innovations.

The air was still optimistic after he shared all these benefits, of course. But the monotony had cooled off the jubilance. None of the leaders of human civilization were scientists aside from the vice president of the Esocline Federation, who only grew more dazzled by the personal innovations that the president of her nation had chosen to disclose to the rest of the world. Compared to Rui's bombastic and flashy presentation, he took the academic approach of the scholar that he was.

Eventually, even the Esoterist slowed down before finally pausing.

"We are nearly at the end of my presentation." He smiled at the gathered leaders. "I have provided many innovations that I believe will qualitatively improve human civilization. Together with the Hellbringer system of thought and surrounding contributions that my esteemed colleague has made, I am confident that human civilization will be able to survive without Sages in perhaps a year of time."

Indeed, he was not the only one who felt optimistic about this.

Prior to their presentations, a lot of leaders had felt that the solutions that two geniuses were going to provide would simply not be adequate for the plan and strategy of the Emperor of Harmony to be viable.

Now, however, their minds had changed.

They were convinced that there truly was a chance.

And yet, the questions that the Esoterist posed truly provoked a lot of thought.

Why weren't there such Martial Artists, as absurd as it felt intuitively?

Was there some cosmic law of the universe that declared 'nary a Martial Artist shall wield rifles'?

Of course not.

That was absurd.

There must be some factor or mechanism that made it so that nobody who trained in gunmanship or siegemanship could discover their path and break through to the Apprentice Realm. "I believe that I have gained insights into exactly what that factor and mechanism are," the Esoterist revealed. "The answer, as difficult as it was to come upon, is fundamentally simple. It all comes down to the harnessing of all dimensions of human potential."

A wave of curiosity spread through the spectators as they grew increasingly engrossed in his explanation.

"Any weapon that is conceptually unable to harness all dimensions of human potential cannot serve as a viable Martial Path." His smile widened as he elaborated. "Dimensions of potential such as the potential for combat cognition, which is the power of the Apprentice Realm; the potential for evolution which, when manifested, is the power of the Squire Realm; the evolved potential of physicality which is the power of the Senior Realm; and the evolved potential of mind and thought which serves as the power of the Master Realm and so on and so forth."

A wave of shock spread through the leaders of human civilization as the Esoterist blatantly revealed secrets of Martial Art that were not meant to be revealed to lesser powers!

And yet, nobody chastised him.

In the Era of Darkness, it was foolish to withhold such crucial information that could very easily strengthen smaller and weaker powers. Thus, the highest leaders of human civilization understood why he did what he did.

More importantly, they grew increasingly engrossed in the innovation that he was building towards with anticipation.
