Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 415 Specks

”Huh, what?” Kyle suddenly said as he regained clarity, looking around in panic and confusion.

”Oh, yeah, right,” Kyle said as he remembered everything that had happened.

ʼFirst things first,ʼ Kyle thought as he looked at his Ether. ʼYep, breakthrough still in progress. My brain should have only been injured a little bit. Something like that should only take a couple of seconds to heal.ʼ

Kyle still felt the massive stream of Ether entering his body.

Out of interest, he looked at where the Ether was going.

As expected, about 70% of the Ether was entering his Aspects of Power.

ʼBut what are the other 30% doing?ʼ Kyle thought as he looked more closely at his Ether.

The other 30% were focusing on… weird spots.

ʼBut why, though?ʼ Kyle asked himself. ʼWhat the fuck are they doing there? Why do these spots need so much Ether?ʼ

These four spots created a line going from Kyleʼs brain to somewhere in Kyleʼs torso.

ʼThere should be some kind of logic behind this, right? I mean, the Ether is entering my body based on instinct. So, there has to be some kind of point to these four locations.ʼ

ʼLetʼs see. One spot is basically in the middle of my brain. One spot is in the middle of my face, behind my nose. One spot is close to my Center. The last spot is… on my heart? Thatʼs where the heart is, right?ʼ

ʼSo, in total, we have eight spots. Four for my Aspects, and four random spots that form a line.ʼ

Kyle was beginning to become a bit nervous.

His Aspects hadnʼt grown as much as he had hoped.

Just as everyone had said, a big chunk of the Ether seemed to be just… wasted.

ʼBut how can it be wasted? I mean, my four Aspects of Power literally encompass all of myself.ʼ

ʼThe Ether has to improve SOMETHING. If it flows into random parts of my body, it should improve my body, right? I mean, if you press a random spot on a cow, youʼre still touching a cow.ʼ

ʼBut my body isnʼt growing any faster than my other Aspects.ʼ

A moment later, the Ether stopped going into Kyleʼs Aspects of Power, but it still kept going into these four random spots.

ʼPeople must have analyzed these spots. Iʼm certain that some kind of nerd looked at the logic of them.ʼ

ʼYet, everyone still says that you should not let your instincts dictate your advancement. Not even for regular Warriors that have equalized Aspects of Power.ʼ

ʼThis means nobody managed to make use of them.ʼ

ʼCan I make use of them?ʼ

Kyle breathed through his teeth. ʼI mean, Iʼm smart, but Iʼm not THAT smart.ʼ

ʼIʼm not the best researcher in the world, and Iʼm not some kind of biologist.ʼ

Kyle scratched the side of his head.

Then, he shrugged.

ʼYeah well, whatcha gonna do? In for a cent, in for a dollar.ʼ

Some seconds later, the flow of Ether became weaker until it eventually stopped.

Despite watching all the Ether entering these spots, Kyle couldnʼt see anything different.

They were just random fucking spots.

Kyle subconsciously looked at the big pile of ore, which used to be the Metal Elementals.

Insights about all kinds of metals entered his mind, and for some reason, Kyle seemed to be really interested in Rank C Materials right now, even though he already knew everything there was to know about them.

Kyle shook his head to regain his bearings. ʼWhy the fuck am I thinking about materials? Iʼve got something- wait!ʼ

Kyle noticed how a flow of Metal Ether going from his Center to his brain suddenly stopped.

ʼWhat? What the fuck was that just now?ʼ Kyle thought.

A moment later, his thoughts veered to Rank C Materials again.

ʼMy lizard brain tells my human brain to think about shiny rocks,ʼ Kyle thought.

ʼFine, lizard brain has been in charge during this entire breakthrough. Go ahead.ʼ

Kyle actively thought about all the Rank C Metal Materials and the framework he had created that explained all of them.

Without his order, his Center produced Metal Ether that flowed to his brain.

Kyle watched the Ether but didnʼt stop it.

ʼHuh, itʼs actually entering that random spot in my brain.ʼ

For the next couple of seconds, Kyle allowed the Metal Ether to enter his mind.

Nothing seemed to happen.

Quite a bit of Metal Ether was flowing in that spot, but it just… vanished?

ʼJust like the Ether entering the random spots.ʼ

Eventually, the flow of Ether stopped.

Then, Kyleʼs eyes widened.

ʼA sparkle?ʼ Kyle thought.

His Ether Sense was telling him that there was something in that random spot now.

It was some kind of minuscule speck that shone with a metallic grey light.

ʼNobody told me about this! I donʼt even know what the fuck this is!ʼ

At that moment, Kyle noticed something.

Everything seemed to move… slower.

However, it also wasnʼt moving slower.

The next moment, Kyle was reminded of the new Fragment he had comprehended during the battle.

The Fragment of Metal Density.

As he thought about his new Fragment, more Metal Ether was produced by his Center.

Once more, the Metal Ether left his Center, but this time, it went to the second spot.

The one in the middle of his face.

For the next couple of seconds, Kyle watched until the flow stopped.

Once more, the spot transformed into a little speck shining with metallic grey light.

ʼDid something change again?ʼ he thought as he looked around.

As he looked around, he realized that the surroundings felt more… intimate.

He was reminded of the time he had tested the Remote Infusion ability he had received from the Spirit Tome.

The feeling was basically the same, just stronger.

ʼAlright,ʼ he thought. ʼWhatever youʼre doing, lizard brain, I think itʼs working.ʼ

Then, Kyle was suddenly reminded of his Wind Movement Fragment.

ʼOh, itʼs wind, this time.ʼ

Wind Ether came out of his Center, but this time, it traveled towards the fourth spot, which was in the middle of his heart.

ʼNo idea whatʼs going on.ʼ
