Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1055: Bound Once Again

The Law of Karmic Causality.

It was probably one of the rarest Laws, and it was also a bit special. For example, it didnʼt have a level, and it also wasnʼt divided into different versions. There was just one Law, and Kyle had comprehended it.

As Kyle looked at his Karmic Lines, he was filled with understanding. He knew what they represented, and he knew roughly how they worked.

But wait, if he knew the Law of Karmic Causality, how could he only partially know how the Karmic Lines worked?

The issue was that the Karmic Lines also interacted with different parts of the Cosmos. They traveled through time, space, and gravity. If one truly wanted to know how they worked, one also had to comprehend the True Primordial Force Laws.

Even with the Law of Karmic Causality, Kyle couldnʼt track the people connected to him. He could tell which Karmic Line belonged to which person, but only if he had met that person before. Otherwise, he could only tell some rough details about the owner.

Kyle looked at the Karmic Line connecting him with Sebastian. In the next moment, he touched it with one of his fingers. The Karmic Line vibrated under Kyleʼs touch, but that didnʼt change anything.

ʼI can cut the Karmic Lines connected to my Spirit, but I canʼt change them. I canʼt turn negative Karmic Luck into positive Karmic Luck directly. The only way to affect individual lines with the Law of Karmic Causality is to cut them. However, the world sees this as an attempt to circumvent the rules dictating Karmic Luck.ʼ

ʼThatʼs why the world punishes the person cutting the Karmic Line. Their Spirit receives an injury, which will take a long time to heal. If you do it too much, you will die. The injuries I have received from cutting the last two Karmic Lines have already mostly healed. As expected, the owner of this Cosmos believes in second chances.ʼ

ʼI hadnʼt thought that I would comprehend the Law of Karmic Causality so quickly, but in retrospect, it actually makes sense.ʼ
ʼI had already noticed the existence of Karmic Lines in the Tertiary World, which was quite early. Then, as a mere Transcendent, I condensed a True Sin Aura and suffered from it for centuries. Not many people have experienced condensing a True Sin Aura.ʼ

ʼAfterward, my Karmic Luck increased, and I even got a couple of Karmic Blessings. Then, it all went downhill again, and I condensed another True Sin Aura. How many people have condensed True Sin Auras twice in their lives?ʼ

ʼIʼve spent a long time living amongst Mortals, analyzing their Karma the entire time. Iʼve experimented with Karmic Lines. I even broke two of them and manipulated one.ʼ

ʼIʼve experienced the deaths of several people who were close to me over the years.ʼ

ʼIʼve felt the world ending in Ayuvar. I saw how almost all of my Karmic Lines vanished.ʼ

Kyle looked up. ʼThe concept of Karmic Luck has followed me for almost my entire life. Is it so strange that Iʼve comprehended it now?ʼ

ʼNo, itʼs not.ʼ

Kyle smiled as he thought about the Law of Karmic Causality. ʼThis Law represents the other aspect of my Spirit. By looking at the Karmic Lines, you can see a picture of my existence within this Cosmos. You can see me by looking at how my existence affects other people.ʼ

ʼI believe, with the Law of Karmic Causality, I can become a Legendary Spirit Lord.ʼ

Kyle closed his eyes and focused on the scattered Energy inside his Spirit Space. At the same time, he also thought about his insights into Karma. Next, he called for his Spirit.

No one had told him how he was supposed to become a Legendary Spirit Lord. He just experimented and tried different things.

As he looked at his Spirit, he felt the existence of countless tiny Karmic Lines. They were so weak that they were almost impossible to perceive. If he couldnʼt interact with his Spirit and if he hadnʼt known the Law of Karmic Causality, he wouldnʼt have sensed them.

ʼThe inactive Karmic Lines,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼI am no longer in the Supreme World, but the Karmic Lines related to it still exist. They are just inactive. Yet, there are also others...ʼ

Kyle noticed a few weak but active Karmic Lines. There were fewer than 10,000, but they were still there.

ʼAscenders,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼSeems like the Overseer has stopped killing everyone. Even though Iʼve never met the new Ascenders, just by existing in the same world as them, we are related by Karma.ʼ

A profound feeling washed over Kyle as he mindlessly took hold of the Karmic Lines. Without even thinking about it, he moved the Karmic Lines in a circle.

The Energy representing his Spirit moved around, following the Karmic Lines. The mist became denser, and after some time, it formed a ball. Kyleʼs Spirit Space had become clear again. His Spirit had turned into a sphere once more. Ironically, even though he had fully unlocked his Spirit, his Spiritʼs current appearance seemed rather suppressed. After all, countless thin threads were wound around it.

Kyle tugged on the Karmic Lines, and his Spirit was pulled forward by them.

For a moment, he just looked at it. ʼOnce more, my Spirit is bound by something, but this time, Iʼve willingly chosen the manner in which my Spirit is bound. My Spirit is bound by Karma, but itʼs different from the constraints of Karma Iʼve experienced for almost my entire life.ʼ

ʼThese are not judgments but the connections I cherish. Does a father not willingly take responsibility for his child?ʼ

Kyle smiled a bit as he pulled his Spirit closer. A moment later, his illusory body in the Spirit Space became more translucent.

The Karmic Lines also turned more translucent in response.

In the outside world, Kyleʼs physical body performed a pulling motion. A feeling of fullness spread through Kyle as he felt like his mind was doused in clear, warm water.

All of his focus was on his Spirit. He pulled it closer and closer to his physical body.

And then...

It popped into existence!

Kyleʼs perception focused on the space in his head, and for the first time, he could see his Spirit without entering the Spirit Space.

It was there, inside his brain. It was a couple of centimeters wide, but it didnʼt push his brain to the side. Instead, it seemed to overlap with his mind. In a way, his Spirit was still in a separate space from his mind.

Just as Kyle looked at his Spirit, he could feel something changing. His Spirit was shaking beneath the threads of Karmic Lines, and then...

BOOOM!

Kyleʼs Spirit exploded, turning into mysterious bits of Energy that spread through his entire body. Usually, when a Spirit exploded, someone would die. Yet, Kyle didnʼt feel like he was in any danger. Instead, he felt like this was supposed to happen.

At the same time, Kyle felt his Energy Sense expanding rapidly.

This was the confirmation.

He had become a Legendary Spirit Lord!

Yet, things didnʼt stop there.
