Chapter 971 Circle of life

( Rudra's POV )

Approximately three-quarters of Rudra's day was consumed by contemplations of devising new and ingenious strategies to confront the perfect warrior.

Immersed in calculations, Rudra meticulously analysed various sequences of combat manoeuvres, aiming to anticipate the perfect response to any given attack.

He tried to actually think that if he jabbed at someone, then would the best option be to block? To dodge or to destroy the weapon itself and depending on that answer, he tried to calculate how he could counter the perfect response of his opponent to create an opening for himself. n/-0velbIn

The perfect warrior would always have the right response to any given challenge.

Not only would it aim to neutralise Rudra's threat, but it would also aim to set up his next move, which would further improve his advantage.

However, Rudra held the belief that having the perfect response to any given set of moves was also a vulnerability.

In his mind it made the perfect warrior vulnerable since his moves could be predicted and while in the real world it was impossible to account for all the probabilities and dictate a fight with uncountable variables exactly how one wanted, Rudra believed in the hypothetical that the final run to defeat the perfect warrior would see his opponent control all the variables and dictate the tempo of the fight from start to finish.

This intense mental exercise was not just about prediction; it was a deep strategic endeavour to comprehend the underlying tactics of his opponent and by doing so, Rudra sought to craft even more sophisticated and effective countermeasures, ensuring that his responses were not just reactive, but a step ahead, embodying a blend of foresight, ingenuity, and unmatched combat acumen.

It was almost impossible to believe, but according to Odin, when the universe's laws condensed around a seed, the power it created far transcended the power of the soul that acted as the core of the seed.

So far, Rudra was the strongest individual ever to ascend to the celestial realm from this controlled universe and the seeds that were left in his wake were already something that could turn the universe upside down, but this only made Max wonder what would the seed/ seeds of power look like when he would ascend the universe since he was arguably stronger than even his brother.

( Meanwhile Mira )

After intense labour, Mira had finally laid her dragon egg inside the dragon paradise dungeon where she was attended by a black dragon clan nanny.

As she comfortably sat over her egg, giving it all her love and warmth she could not help but spread her senses thin and smile as she felt several small tier2 humans enter the dungeon.

Most of them were students from the university for nourishment of young talents, the same school where Max, Asiva, Anna and Sebastian first met as Mira could not help but chuckle at the circle of life.

Just two and a half decades ago, it was her who was just an egg and Max who was roaming this dungeon as a newbie, yet many years later she was now here as a mother while other human children came here looking for opportunities to get rich and get good grades.

For a moment she wondered if her baby would also form a bond with a human upon birth like she did with Max? But then she shook off that possibility.

Max was a once in a lifetime talent who was acknowledged by her mother even at a young age-

While there maybe many talents in the universe, Mira doubted if anyone would ever reach the heights that her husband did and leave a legend even remotely as grand.
