Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 957: Everyoneʼs Working

Kyle looked at the fruits for a while and sighed. ʼI guess everyoneʼs really going all-in on me. Not sure if Swamp Dragon did that of his own volition or if Manny told him to use his wish for me.ʼ

ʼIt doesnʼt matter. In the end, he still helped me a lot. The air between us might be cold and distant, but weʼre still working towards the same goal. You donʼt need to like someone to work with them.ʼ

Kyle put the fruits away and sent a couple more wisps to his companions, essentially telling them that he would be entering seclusion to focus on the Law of Spacetime Metal.

Moments later, he went deep underground so that he could comprehend in peace and quiet.

Finally, he took out the first cube of Spacetime Metal. When he had comprehended Gravity Metal, he had created his own Law Well via Formation Arrays, but this wouldnʼt be feasible this time. Every Formation Array needed materials and an Energy Source. While he could use his Center as an Energy Source, the materials to create the Formation Arrays would be unnecessarily expensive.

In the end, Kyle decided to comprehend the Law in the classic way. He would smelt it, watch it, smell it, taste it, feel it, and understand it.

ʼI havenʼt comprehended an Elemental Level Five Law yet. Iʼm not sure how long this will take.ʼ

As Kyle experimented with the first cube of Spacetime Metal, he quickly found out why it was so special and powerful.

ʼGravity Metal uses a lot of Gravity Energy. It draws in other objects, and its own density also increases drastically since the gravitational forces are constantly pulling it together. Yet, as expected, Spacetime Metal is even stronger.ʼ

ʼThe space inside the metal is drastically compressed. Technically, that doesnʼt increase its density since it still takes up just as much space as before, but the Spacetime Metal interacts with normal space like its space doesnʼt follow special rules.ʼ
ʼHowever, thatʼs not enough to make it that much stronger than Gravity Metal. If itʼs just density, Gravity Metal is technically even a bit denser, but when I look at it, it actually seems much denser. Thereʼs just way more metal in this small cube, and I donʼt even exactly know why. Itʼs probably related to its time aspect, but for now, I canʼt see what it does exactly. I can see that the Time Energy inside it is moving chaotically and with intensity, but I donʼt know what itʼs doing exactly.ʼ

ʼYeah, well, Iʼm still in the beginning of my comprehension. At some point, I will get it.ʼ

As Kyle started his long session of comprehension, his companions were doing their own thing.

Star Genesis was taking out a tiny piece of Spacetime Metal and putting it into an elaborate and complex Formation Array. A moment later, the tiny piece started to decay, and different kinds of Energy spread across the surroundings. The Energies entered other Formation Arrays, and a mix of Energy was produced.

When Star Genesis saw the product, she didnʼt show any reaction and tweaked some parts of her Formation Array. This product was just one more failure, but that was to be expected. What she was attempting to do was difficult.

Fierce Breaker was fighting a Peak Sage Demon while surrounded by over a thousand other Sages. Unique Sages were about as powerful as Peak Sage Demons, but by now, these Peak Sage Demons didnʼt even count as True Battles for Fierce Breaker anymore. He had killed thousands of them by now.

Fierce Breaker thrust his spear forward. Stone and metal gathered around it, and the Peak Sage Demon collapsed as the spear dug into its head. Some of the Seekers around him watched him with interest, while others were busy fighting other Peak Sage Demons. No matter how many times they saw Fierce Breaker fighting, they were always surprised by the sheer intensity of his attacks. It was like his spear could penetrate anything and everything.

Sebastian was surrounded by dense water as he descended further into the Divide. The massive river between Ayuvar and the Abyss was one of the only places in which one could find normal Beasts in higher Realms. Due to the overpowering might and brutality of Humanity and the Demons, the normal beasts didnʼt dare to come to the surface. The Divide was where beings in the Fusion Realm fought, and being anywhere near such a battle was terrifying.

Sebastian had been traveling through the Divide for a while already. He was looking for plant roots that attempted to cross the Divide to enter Humanityʼs territory. These roots had to be destroyed. If roots managed to dig past the frontlines, they could attack important locations and civilians.

Swamp Dragon was following a powerful Spirit Lord on the frontlines. The Spirit Lord was a General, and Swamp Dragon was learning from him. The Spirit Lord showed him how many different Forts operated. Surprisingly, not all Forts were operating in the same way. Based on the kind and number of Demons, Forts had to adapt.

The 878 cluster of Forts had a high number of Demons, even when compared to other clusters. Because of that, jobs and duties were assigned in a different manner. Orders were given more loosely, allowing for more adaptability. Different kinds of soldiers were chosen, and different resources were requested. Swamp Dragon had already realized that there was much he still had to learn about human nature, warfare, and leadership.

Inside one of the headquarters of Humanity, Manny was going through thousands of messages every second. He read through them, compared their contents to established data, estimated future developments, performed a cost-benefit analysis, went through the funds and expected expenses, and finally answered the message with an order.

At the same time, he was also studying Formation Arrays. He didnʼt need to be as good as a Sect Member when it came to Formation Arrays, but he still needed to be proficient. Formation Arrays were used everywhere in Humanity, and he needed the necessary knowledge to operate even extremely complex Formation Arrays.

Star Genesis was trying to create something new. Fierce Breaker was pushing his power and willpower to their limits. Sebastian was earning Merits, while his Elemental performed a couple of tests in the Elemental Dimension. Swamp Dragon was learning how to be a General on the frontlines. Manny was learning how to be a General in the Headquarters.

All of Kyleʼs companions were learning new things and becoming more proficient. There were no breaks.

Everyone was working.

There were no weak links or useless members.

Time passed.

Fierce Breaker left the frontlines as he attempted the Seventh Refinement again. Sebastian started experimenting with Gravity Lightning and Spacetime Lightning, trying to gain some insights into Major Lightning. Manny dropped his studies in Formation Arrays for now and focused on his Imposing Law. Star Genesis and Swamp Dragon kept learning.

As the time in Ayuvar kept moving forward, Kyle was making tremendous progress in comprehending the Law of Spacetime Metal.

By now, he had already uncovered a majority of Spacetime Metalʼs secrets. He learned more about metal, but at the same time, he was also learning more about space and time.

There was no doubt that Kyle would be able to comprehend the Law without needing to undergo a True Battle.

The only question was...

How long would it take?
