Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 811 - Being a Butt

ʼI knew this would happen at some point,ʼ Kyle thought as he read through the declaration of battle.

Name: The Great Conquerors.

Members: 15. Four Fulfilled Crushers. Eleven Advanced Crushers.

ʼPretty weak for such an imposing name,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼAlso, why are they even trying to fight me? Not even the Four Tigers Sect wants to fight me.ʼ

Options: War, non-lethal duel, tribute, refusal, assimilation.

ʼAh, I see,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼThey want to win my allegiance in a duel. I could win against one of them and take all of their resources if I accept the battle. They probably think that I canʼt win in a duel without my Formation Arrays.ʼ

Kyle sighed. ʼJust sucks that I canʼt accept the duel. If I accept the duel, a referee from the Contrast Empire will appear. That guy would be a Sage, and he would definitely recognize my true identity.ʼ

ʼRefusal and tribute are not an option. I canʼt lose even more Karmic Luck, and I need all my money. Also, I donʼt want to join them.ʼ

ʼYeah, well, war it is,ʼ he thought as he sent his answer.

The declaration of battle flew into the distance again, and Kyle-

People were approaching!

Kyle blinked a couple of times as his Sensing Formation Arrays told him that several people were approaching at insane speeds. Most likely, they were using a spaceship.

ʼOh, they were already waiting just outside my territory,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼThey probably wanted to catch me off-guard.ʼ

The 15 Crushers jumped out of the spaceship and immediately readied their weapons.

By the looks of things, they wanted to do the exact thing Kyle had prepared for.

They wanted to bombard his Planet from a distance to force him out.

His Planet was humongous, but under a constant barrage of attacks, it would slowly crumble. It would take a long time to destroy such a massive Planet by creating one hundred-kilometer crater after another, but Crushers had enough time on their hands.

ʼThink youʼre smart, huh?ʼ Kyle thought as he narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Great Conquerors ordered his people to launch attacks.

Within moments, tens of devastating attacks rained down on the Planet, blowing gigantic craters into it.

”As long as we force him out, he wonʼt have the help of his Formation Arrays,” the Head transmitted to his people as he conjured several bolts of metallic lightning.

Despite their low member count, the Great Conquerors still managed to survive in the Secondary Sector. The primary reason was their Head. He had a Level 4.5 Infused Center Law, which consisted of Gravity Lightning and Gravity Metal.

Someone like that could fight several Fulfilled Crushers at the same time.

After launching a round of attacks, the Great Conquerors saw Azure Comet charging out of his Planet.

When they saw that, arrogant smirks appeared on their faces.

Sure enough, Azure Comet fell for their trap.

Today, they would become rich without having to sacrifice a single member!

”Redirect your attacks! Kill him!” the Head ordered.

All the members attacked Azure Comet. As expected, Azure Comet wasnʼt very powerful without his Formation Arrays. The speeds at which he was traveling were subpar.

Most Fulfilled Crushers could move at speeds of 3,000 kilometers per second, while the Head of the Great Conquerors could even move at speeds of over 4,000 kilometers per second.

Meanwhile, Azure Comet was moving at about 2,000 kilometers per second.

Yet, due to the great distance between the two parties, Azure Comet still managed to avoid the attacks.

However, the Great Conquerors just kept attacking. At some point, Azure Comet would get closer, and then, their attacks would hit.

Sadly, Azure Comet still wasnʼt hit by their attacks, despite getting closer.

ʼSeems like heʼs not completely worthless as a fighter,ʼ the Head thought. ʼHis speed rose to 3,000 kilometers per second. He probably kept his true speed hidden to surprise us.ʼ

The Head smirked. ʼBut thatʼs not enough!ʼ

Their attacks intensified.

As they kept missing more and more attacks, the Great Conquerors grew serious.

By now, Azure Comet was traveling at speeds of over 4,000 kilometers per second. He was as fast as their Head.

They no longer took this battle lightly.

ʼAlright, Iʼm close enough,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼIf I had charged at them with my full speed, they would have immediately jumped into their spaceship to fuck off.ʼ

Kyleʼs Azure Energy gathered behind him as his surroundings warped.

Kyleʼs speed shot to 6,000 kilometers per second in an instant as he employed the full power of his Infused Center Law and Infused Body Law.

When the Great Conquerors saw that, their eyes widened.

What was this speed?!

Then Kyle spent a bunch of Energy compressing the space between him and his targets. Since he didnʼt have a Space Affinity, this move cost him a significant chunk of his Energy Reserves.

But it did the trick, and his relative speed climbed even more.

Finally, Kyle moved in an arc, resembling the swing of his hammer.

When he did that, over 10% of his Energy Reserves vanished, but it was worth the investment.

Kyleʼs true speed rose to 8,000 kilometers per second as he shot through compressed space.

The Great Conquerors couldnʼt believe what they were witnessing.

”He has to be a Unique Crusher! Retreat!” the Head ordered.

An instant later, a spaceship appeared around them, and-

BANG!

An illusory hammer destroyed the spaceship in an instant. The Great Conquerors had already entered Kyleʼs range.

The Great Conquerors became mortified as they realized that they couldnʼt flee.

”Stop! We concede!” the Head shouted in terror, putting his weapon away.

Kyle snorted, and an illusory hammer appeared behind the Head.

CRKSH!

The Headʼs body turned into bloody mist, and all the other members looked at the mist in horror.

They had conceded!

There was no reason to kill them!

Azure Comet could force them into compliance and enslave them for several centuries! Why would anyone refuse free labor without any downsides?!

Even if he didnʼt want their labor, he could just let them go for a significant chunk of Karmic Luck, and even if he didnʼt need Karmic Luck, he could also exchange their freedom for a big chunk of their wealth!

There was no point in killing them!

Killing them was literally wasting money!

BANG! BANG!

The other two Fulfilled Crushers were turned into a bloody mist.

The Advanced Crushers tried to flee, but Kyle reached them in an instant and incinerated all of them with his Azure Energy.

The upper management of the Great Conquerors was eradicated.

ʼI wouldʼve loved some servants,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼI couldʼve employed them to buy materials for me in the outside world. Sucks that I have to keep my identity secret. If anyone finds out about my true power, they are bound to connect Azure Comet to Descending Mountain.ʼ

Kyle saw a small burst of red as his Karmic Luck lowered a bit. However, it didnʼt drop much.

The Great Conquerors had attacked first, and Kyle had the right to kill them. Yet, according to the Laws of Karmic Luck, Kyle had gone a slight bit overboard by killing every single one, even though they had conceded.

He hadnʼt broken any rules, but Karmic Luck believed that he had been a bit of an ass.

While this was happening, mountains of resources and wealth appeared before Kyle. Naturally, these Seekers were not beggars. They were powerful members of a big Organization.

ʼAnd now, all of this belongs to me,ʼ Kyle thought.
