Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1180: The Grand Plan

ʼThis is so weird,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼHe feels exactly like the guy who Swamp Dragon called when he became the Overseer, but his aura is completely different.ʼ

”Alright, weʼve never met before,” Kyle said, ”but you do know who Iʼm referring to, right?”

The man nodded. ”You talked to him in Ayuvar.”

ʼThe fact that he knows the name of the Primary World basically confirms that he also knows the guy. Although Ayuvar might have already produced an Immortal.ʼ

”I met a couple of guys in Ayuvar,” Kyle said.

In the next moment, the man took out a drink and put it on the table.

It was Burning Heart.

”Okay, weʼre talking about the same guy,” Kyle added. ”So, youʼre also a member of this mysterious Organization that no oneʼs talking about.”

”I am,” the man answered as he put the Burning Heart away again. ”I look like him, but Iʼm not him. We are two distinct existences. He is his own person. I am my own person. Before you ask, no, our relationship is not like the relationship you have with your six Human Avatars.”

Kyle did his best to keep his reactions in check. The man had not only mentioned that he had six Avatars but that he had Human Avatars.
ʼIs this a trick?ʼ Kyle thought. ʼIs he just guessing?ʼ

”Six Avatars?” Kyle asked with a raised brow.

”Your other three Avatars are in Wildʼs Summit. The red and blue ones are in a room. The green one is currently looking around. You wonʼt find the person keeping watch over you.”

Kyle took a deep breath.

ʼIs he actually keeping watch over me, or is he using some kind of mind trick to siphon information out of me?ʼ

”You want proof,” the man commented.

In the next moment, three Grade Nine Energy Stones appeared right in front of Greenʼs feet before they vanished again.

Kyle felt like his mind had stopped working.

Just now, the three Grade Nine Energy Stones had all come from Divine Consciousnesses with different fluctuations. This meant that there were at least three people around Green who knew about what was going on.

ʼWhat the hell is going on?!ʼ Kyle thought. ʼI didnʼt notice anyone following me! I thought that no one could connect the identities of my two teams!ʼ

”I get your point,” Kyle answered. ”So, what is this about?”

”Thatʼs what I should ask you,” the man answered, leaning back in his chair. ”Youʼre the one who came here. I assume you want to take advantage of the Cult and grow in two places at the same time. Is that correct?”

Kyle didnʼt know what answer he should give. ʼShould I confirm his suspicion? Should I act like Iʼm loyal to the Cult?ʼ

”Yes,” Kyle confirmed after a bit.

”What do you need?” the man asked evenly.

”Need?” Kyle asked.

”Youʼre here to gain something. What do you need? What do you want to gain?” the man asked.

”Why do you want to know?” Kyle asked.

”Because Iʼm going to give it to you,” the man answered evenly.

Kyle became a bit suspicious. ”And why would you do that?”

”Because it will further our goal,” the man answered.

”In what way?” Kyle asked. ”Iʼve heard a bit about your goals, but I donʼt know about the specifics.”

”We want to end this conflict,” the man answered.

”Yes, but how?” Kyle asked.

The man remained silent for a bit. Most likely, he was currently conversing with his allies. Kyle had no idea how these people talked to each other. The people in Wildʼs Summit had acted almost immediately, which meant that this guy could give commands across Dimensions and septillions of kilometers in an instant.

Kyle had never seen anything like it. Even the Higher Supreme Organizations couldnʼt issue commands that quickly. What was even crazier was that it seemed like all of the members knew what every other member knew.

”One person is chasing. The other person is running and using guerrilla warfare to strike back,” the man explained. ”If the first person wins, he will return to his Cosmos and almost fully reset it. This Cosmos is a means to an end. It was built to kill the other person, but in the grand scheme of things, itʼs not exceptionally powerful. This will destroy our homes. Everything we know and love will be destroyed. We donʼt want that to happen. Thatʼs why we canʼt allow him to win.”

”If the other person wins, this Cosmos will be consumed. Only the strongest will survive, and they will only survive if they embrace Death and become his subjects. I wonʼt lie to you. For many people, this is a desirable outcome. He doesnʼt treat his subjects badly, and he would never suppress someone elseʼs growth. Even if, by any chance, one of his followers becomes more powerful than him, he would not stop them. This path has a lot of potential, and his followers might even surpass Heaven Breakers at some point.”

”But itʼs an empty path. It is the easiest and clearest path to supreme power, but it is empty. There is only you, and the only color you will ever see is grey. You will reach the end, but everything will forever remain grey. As long as youʼre not willing to follow his path, weʼll share the same fate when he wins as when the owner of this Cosmos wins. Everything we know and love will be destroyed. Thatʼs why we canʼt allow him to win.”

”The owner of this Cosmos is enraged, but he is also afraid. He rushed the development of his Cosmos and designed it to kill his enemy. He rushed as much as he could, but in the end, he still didnʼt manage to reach his goal. He had all of the help he could get. He had guidance and a powerful environment. His enemy had nothing. And yet, his enemy had progressed almost as quickly as he had.”

”Heʼs afraid. He fears that, if he fails to kill his enemy this time... he will never kill him.”

”He will never stop chasing him. He will only stop if his enemy kills him.”

”We are not nearly powerful enough to fight either of the two. Even if all of us unite, we would still be helpless.”

Kyle furrowed his brows. ”And how is this related to me?”

”How do we get him to stop his chase without killing his enemy or dying?” the man asked evenly. ”Can you think of a way?”

Kyle scratched the side of his head. ”Can we talk to him?”

”No.”

Kyle remained silent for a bit.

ʼStrengthening him will allow him to kill his enemy. Weakening him will get him killed. He canʼt see his own Cosmos. He canʼt communicate with us. We canʼt communicate with him.ʼ

Then, Kyle had an idea.

”We send him a message,” Kyle answered.

”How?” the man asked.

”He can feel his power increasing and decreasing,” Kyle explained. ”Right now, his Cosmos is essentially an isolated biosphere within a bottle. He is not looking at it since he is focused on something else, but he knows that his bottle is still there.”

”However, if he were to hear a crack in the bottle, he would be forced to look, even if it costs him something. At that point, we could negotiate.”

”And how would that stop him?” the man asked.

”Simple,” Kyle answered. ”We take the Cosmos hostage. If he doesnʼt come back, we will weaken it so much that his enemy will kill him. Yet, if he complies and comes back, we also have to protect him from his enemy. After all, we canʼt let either side win.”

The man nodded. ”And how do we do that?”

”We need a way to rapidly increase and decrease the Cosmosʼ power,” Kyle said, his speech getting slower near the end.

”And the best way is to rapidly move powerful people in and out of the Cosmos.”

Kyle could see their plan.

”And how do we do that?” the man asked.

”We need a second Cosmos that is connected to this Cosmos,” Kyle explained.

”And how do we create this connection?” the man asked.

”We need someone powerful enough to make it,” Kyle answered. ”We need someone who can connect Cosmoses or someone who can make their own Cosmos.”

”In summary, we need what?” the man asked.

”Full control of the Immortal and Hell Dimensions...”

”And someone who can connect Cosmoses.”

The man nodded.

”Whoʼs the best choice for this position?” he asked.

”Is it me?” Kyle asked.

”If it were someone like you, what would be the best way to get him to do all of these things for us?” the man asked.

Kyle sighed. ”He doesnʼt like being told what to do. He doesnʼt like owing favors. He likes having agency.”

Kyle scratched the back of his head.

”The best way is to let him live his life and hope that he decides to help us of his own volition. Forcing him to do stuff wonʼt work. Asking him to join us might motivate him to help us, but his heart might not be in it.”

”Just talk to him, be friendly, and hope that he will help us.”

The man nodded. ”Well then...”

”So, why are you here? What do you need?”
