Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 514 Tomorrow

After looking at the Colossus for a bit, Kyle went back to the Twilight Duchy and met up with Sebastian.

”Guess whoʼs back?” Kyle asked with a grin.

”King Skysand?” Sebastian asked in confusion.

”Wrong! Itʼs me!” Kyle said.

”Oooohh, itʼs you,” Sebastian said with wonder. ”Riiiight, why didnʼt I think of that? Man, now that you explain it, it almost feels obvious.”

Kyle rolled his eyes. ”Anyway, Iʼm done. Your wait is over.”

Sebastianʼs eyes widened, but he didnʼt immediately answer.

”Please tell me this isnʼt a joke,” he said.

”Not a joke!” Kyle said with a grin. ”Iʼm actually done!”

Sebastian released a breath and let himself fall onto his back.

”Fucking finally!” he groaned. ”It felt like foreeeever.”

”Oh, come on. Waiting isnʼt that bad,” Kyle said.

Sebastian snorted. ”How would you feel if you had to kill 30 years or so without making much progress in anything?”

Kyle thought back to the time he wanted to take a break.

He had only done that for an afternoon.

30 years?

”Yeah, okay, maybe itʼs a bit bad,” Kyle said.

”Anyway,” Sebastian said, standing up again. ”Whatʼs next?”

”Talking to the Duchess,” Kyle said. ”I wanna know how things will go down. I mean, thereʼs no point in staying in the Third Realm, right?”

”Sounds good,” Sebastian said with an excited smile. ”Iʼm going to get my things in order.”

Kyle just nodded before flying to the Duchess of Twilightʼs place.

He strode through the gates and looked at the Duchess with a smile. ”Iʼm done! Iʼm ready to become the Overseer!”

The Duchess of Twilight looked at Kyle for a moment.

While her expression seemed just as neutral as always, deep inside, she was shocked.

Not because of Kyleʼs power but because of the fact that her eternal duty as Overseer would soon be over.

Finally, after so many millennia.

She could finally advance again.

After a while, she nodded. ”How powerful are you?”

In a way, she almost saw Kyle as a student.

She had been invested in his power for quite a while, and she had taught him some things.

”Level Four Transcending Beasts are not an issue,” Kyle said. ”I tested a couple of them, and Iʼm confident that I can kill all of them with relative ease. Speaking of, do we even have Level Five Transcending Beasts?”

”Not right now,” the Duchess answered. ”Level Five Transcending Beasts already know enough Fragments to condense the Law of Body. They simply need one more fight to condense it, and whoever condenses it first kills the other one and advances.”

”If you want to fight a Level Five Transcending Beast, you probably need to wait a couple of decades until a new one emerges.”

”Yeah, no,” Kyle answered. ”Iʼve waited long enough.”

The Duchess of Twilight nodded. ”The power difference between a Level Five Transcending Beast and a Standard Transcendent is about as big as the power difference between a Level Four and Level Five Transcending Beast.”

”If you think a Level Five Transcending Beast would be a True Battle, you can say that you are only a bit weaker than a Standard Transcendent. I can assure you that you wonʼt be able to win against one, but maybe you would be able to escape or keep them busy for a bit.”

When Kyle heard that, he sighed. ”I thought there were legends of Mortals who killed a Transcendent.”

”Yes,” the Duchess answered, ”but those Mortals have more weapons than you. They have a Complex Law just as powerful as yours, but they also have something else that improves their power.”

”Some of them also know the Law of the Body, for example. If you could comprehend a couple more Fragments of the Body, you might have a shot against a Standard Transcendent.”

Kyle furrowed his brows.

He was a bit miffed that he wasnʼt as strong as these legendary Mortals.

In a way, he wanted to continue training until he reached that level.

Sadly, he knew that the Duchess and Sebastian were both waiting for him.

Also, he didnʼt want to keep pushing troubles further into the future.

He knew that he would get fucked by the company that hired him, and he hated waiting for the fuckingʼs arrival.

He just wanted to get it over with.

ʼAlso, I will have plenty of time to learn stuff when Iʼm a Transcendent,ʼ he thought.

”Just to make sure, is there a way for me to increase the bonus I receive when I break through? You know, you said that every Realm gets a bonus based on the previous Realmʼs performance. That one.”

”Theoretically, yes, practically, no,” she answered. ”The bonus you receive is your Core Spark. It assumes the characteristics of your most powerful Law.”

”Someone who has understood a Pure Level One Law will see that it becomes much easier to use it in every way. It gets stronger, costs less Ether, and some of the attributes are incorporated into a passive function.”

”Your friend will condense a Core Spark attuned to Yin-Lightning. This will substantially decrease the cost of his abilities that make use of Yin-Lightning and make it more powerful. Additionally, even his Yang-Lightning will be subsidized by his Yin-Lightningʼs Ether-stealing attribute.”

”When it comes to Complex Laws, the Core Spark will assume whatever Ether it is composed of. In your case, your body will no longer work with Wind, Metal, and Fire Ether but purely with the Ether of your Complex Laws.”

”You would only get a bigger bonus if you were to comprehend a Complex Law thatʼs more powerful than your current Complex Law.”

Kyle blinked a couple of times.

”Yeah, no,” he said. ”Not going to happen.”

The Duchess of Twilight just nodded.

”When will you advance?” she asked.

”I can go whenever,” Kyle said. ”I also want to get this behind me.”

The Duchess of Twilight looked out of the window.

Now that she was so close to leaving, she felt melancholic.

This world had been her home for millennia, and now, she could finally leave.

Yet, it also felt a bit difficult for her to say goodbye to her ”prison”.

”Give me a day,” she said.

Kyle nodded. ”Sure.”

”Then, tomorrow.”

The Duchess of Twilight nodded.

”Tomorrow,” she confirmed.
