Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 512 Meteor

Kyle returned to the Twilight Duchy and continued working on his Law of the Meteor.

This time, he continued for five entire years, and once more, his insights slowed down.

ʼAlmost there,ʼ he thought. ʼI just need to get the Ether flowing more naturally.ʼ

ʼEverything looks perfect. Iʼm just missing this last step. If I can actually streamline the Meteor Ether, I can increase the power of my Meteor Ether by another 50%. That would be my biggest jump in power to date. I mean, ignoring the time I reached the Third Realm.ʼ

Kyle was so close.

There was just one last part remaining.

Just a tiny bit more.

However, that tiny bit felt almost impossible to achieve.

ʼShould I enter another True Battle?ʼ Kyle thought.

Kyle took a deep breath.

ʼNo, Iʼve pushed my luck too much. At some point, I will make a mistake, and I will die.ʼ

ʼI have to find another way.ʼ

ʼWell, if sitting around doesnʼt help, I should move a bit.ʼ

Kyle stood up and held his hammer over his shoulder.

The next moment, a dark-red aura appeared around him.

It looked like some flames were covering him.

In the past, his flames had been brighter and bigger, but that was for the same reason why Nobodies seemed so much more bombastic and impressive than actual Transcendents.

He simply hadnʼt had enough control over his Meteor Ether to properly compress it.

ʼLetʼs try something,ʼ Kyle thought.

BANG!

Then, he took to the sky at his fastest speed.

A dark-red meteor illuminated the night sky in the eastern part of the world.

Kyleʼs speed climbed to its peak, reaching a speed of over 25 kilometers per second.

Within just 200 seconds, he could travel from the eastern edge of the world to the western.

As soon as Kyle reached his peak speed, his Ether started to drop quickly.

Although ”quickly” was a relative word in this case.

It would still take over ten seconds for his Ether to run out, which was a long time for someone of his power.

Kyle reached the coast within just a couple of seconds and continued flying over the ocean.

At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and pushed more Ether into his Law of Meteor.

His speed climbed by a little bit to 26 kilometers per second, but his Ether usage quadrupled.

This was the issue Kyle was trying to solve.

He could go faster, but the efficiency of Ether conversion dropped significantly at these speeds.

Nevertheless, Kyle continued and shot towards the west.

A dark-red meteor flew across the ocean. Within a couple of seconds, Kyleʼs Ether storage bottomed out, but he kept pushing.

His body and instincts told him that there was nothing left to burn, but he forced it to continue.

Kyleʼs Center was completely empty, but he just kept going.

Oftentimes, when humans felt like they couldnʼt continue, that wasnʼt actually true.

Soldiers on Earth, during brutal fitness tests to join some sort of special forces group, often went past their limits.

The reason why the body said that it couldnʼt continue wasnʼt because it couldnʼt continue.

It said that so that the body wouldnʼt get injured heavily via overexertion.

CRK!

As Kyle continued, he felt his muscles tear and his bones break.

With the Fragment of Organs, Kyle could convert the Ether in his Center to Biological Ether to recover more quickly.

However, he could also do the opposite.

Right now, Kyleʼs body was transforming Biological Ether to Meteor Ether.

Naturally, this cannibalized the Ether process that kept him alive.

Bones became thinner.

Muscle fibers broke and were converted to Ether.

Blood vessels became thinner and started leaking blood.

Yet, Kyle just continued, his dark-red form becoming redder by the second.

He slowed down a bit.

But he didnʼt stop.

ʼHave to keep going!ʼ

Parts of Kyleʼs skin loosened from his body, spreading behind him.

He kept flying.

He became thinner.

His body took on unnatural shapes as his bones stopped holding his appendages in place.

ʼI will continue!ʼ he thought as his mind was trying to shut down to protect the body.

ʼContinue!ʼ

He kept flying.

ʼKeep going!ʼ

He kept flying.

ʼBurn to ashes or break through!ʼ

ʼThereʼs no in-between!ʼ

The dark-red meteor left behind a trail of blood.

ʼEverythingʼs there!ʼ

ʼI already know everything!ʼ

ʼI just need to actualize it!ʼ

ʼDo it!ʼ

ʼDo it!ʼ

CRACK!

Kyleʼs jaw broke, and his teeth scattered, but he didnʼt even react.

His hair fell off and burned away.

The muscles below his broken skin burned.

ʼMore!ʼ

ʼMore!ʼ

Kyleʼs speed increased.

ʼMore speed!ʼ

ʼMore power!ʼ

CRK!

A tear appeared in Kyleʼs Center.

He kept going.

ʼFaster!ʼ

Kyle sped up, and another tear appeared in his Center.

ʼBecome a meteor!ʼ

Kyle remembered how he had originally taken the concept of a meteor as an inspiration.

It was finally time.

He was there!

Just one more step!

A little bit more!

ʼDO IT!ʼ

CRACK!

A huge crack appeared on Kyleʼs Center, and it started to leak Ether.

ʼDO IT!ʼ

The flames around Kyle became smaller.

His speed increased.

Eventually, just a small, dark-red film surrounded him.

It was like there was just a red outline around him.

BOOOOOM!

Kyleʼs speed shot through the roof, reaching speeds of 35 kilometers per second in an instant.

His eyes widened.

On the horizon, the evening sun was illuminating the world.

As Kyle moved forward at speeds he had never reached before, he just looked at the evening sun.

The cracks in his Center were closing.

His body was no longer breaking down.

Despite moving at incredible speeds, his body was recovering.

How was that possible?

That was because he was using less Ether than he was regenerating.

As Kyle continued flying, evening turned to afternoon.

His body regrew at a rapid speed as his Fragment of Organs used his superfluous Ether to heal him.

Within just a couple of seconds, he recovered fully.

His Ether recovered.

ʼI…ʼ

ʼIʼve done it!ʼ

ʼIʼve got it!ʼ

ʼIʼve finally done it!ʼ

BANG!

Kyle exploded forward, reaching speeds of over 40 farts(kilometers) per second.

His Ether was dropping again, but this time, he wasnʼt pushing himself past his limit.

He didnʼt need to.

After all…

ʼIʼve finished my Law of Meteor!ʼ
