Bab 2426: Sealed

It was the end.

Rui was completely sabotaged.

An intense emotional turmoil had completely overtaken him.

Time slowed down in his eyes as his mind reached an extraordinary state of activity with the power of the Megamind. He applied the tachypsychia hypnotic technique he used for Neo Godspeed in a final act of desperation to give him time to figure out how to overcome this tribulation.

Yet, as he watched Ieyasu's killing blow surging towards him in slow motion, a single truth became clear to him.

'I can't do it.'

He could adaptively evolve to Ieyasu, as was his secret plan.

He couldn't adaptively evolve to his own trauma.

He couldn't adaptively evolve to the weaknesses of his psyche.

He couldn't do it.
