Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1096: Future Fight

”You can see my progress,” Kyle answered evenly, using his suppressed rage to imitate Fierce Breakerʼs cold attitude.

”Donʼt play games with me,” the Overseer answered in annoyance. ”When I ask you a question, I want to hear a clear answer. Donʼt forget whoʼs in charge.”

”If you wish to hear an answer, fine,” Kyle stated. ”Thanks to the hammer, my Imposing Law has almost reached perfection, but the last step is difficult to take. Achieving perfection requires comprehension, realization, and opportunity. I need to combine everything into a perfect whole.”

”It could happen tomorrow. It could never happen. It all depends on fateʼs whims.”

The Overseer narrowed her eyes. ”You have assured me that this plan will work,” she said with a threatening voice.

”One way or another, it will work,” Kyle answered. ”I am currently trying to assimilate the hammer into my own existence, which is why itʼs taking so long. If push comes to shove, I can still let the hammer assimilate my existence. At that point, I would cease to exist, and I would turn into Kyle.”

”However, I donʼt want that to happen for obvious reasons. Just like you, I donʼt want to die.”

The Overseer glared at Kyle with intensity. ”Iʼve waited long enough for my freedom. How can I be sure that you will sacrifice yourself if you donʼt succeed?”

”You canʼt,” Kyle answered. ”Also, you donʼt want me to be assimilated as well.”

The Overseer snorted. ”And why is that?”
”Youʼve seen Kyle,” Kyle commented with an even voice. ”If he resurrects, do you believe that he would want to help you? You and Swamp Dragon have taken almost everything that he holds dear. Compared to me, heʼs someone who listens to his heart more than his brain. Most likely, he would just try to kill you, even if he knows that he canʼt win. As long as you and Swamp Dragon donʼt get what you want, he will be fine with dying.”

The Overseer remembered the one instance in which she had seen Kyle.

His aura had been so bright and intense. Even more, his aura didnʼt feel like the aura of a person who would simply accept their circumstances.

The Overseer looked at Fierce Breakerʼs aura. His aura was even more intense than Kyleʼs aura, but that was to be expected. Kyle had been a Spirit Lord, while Fierce Breaker was a Fulfilled Ascendant. Even more, Fierce Breaker had already undergone his Fusion. As a mere Spirit Lord, Kyle couldnʼt have possibly undergone his Fusion already.

If Fierce Breakerʼs aura was already this intense, how intense would Kyleʼs aura be if he reached Fierce Breakerʼs level?

A slight feeling of danger and threat washed over the Overseer.

”A small chance of success is better than no chance of success,” the Overseer answered. ”You have around 850,000 years of longevity left. Iʼll give you 750,000 years. If you canʼt finish your Imposing Law by then, I will force you to become one with the hammer.”

”That was also my plan,” Kyle answered. ”Iʼm not someone who runs from a fight. Iʼve decided to fight Kyle for supremacy, and if it turns out that I canʼt win, despite all of my advantages, I will admit defeat. This is a fight to the death. Running is not an option.”

”Donʼt go back on your word,” the Overseer said.

”I should say the same thing to you,” Kyle answered. ”You still owe me a fight.”

The Overseer looked at Kyle with annoyed boredom. ”You still wish to fight?”

”As Iʼve said, I donʼt run from battles,” Kyle answered. ”I realize that I canʼt become an Immortal with our new circumstances, but Iʼve said what Iʼve said. At least, with the Realm gap between us...”

Kyle smirked. ”The fight might actually have some suspense.”

The Overseer just looked at Kyle like he was a lost cause.

”You donʼt have an Avatar,” Kyle added. ”You donʼt have an Imposing Law. Youʼve only been an Advanced Ascendant. I might not be able to beat you now, but if I learn a couple more Laws, I might just pull it off.”

The Overseer slowly blinked once.

This idiot only believed that he could win because his power was so low that he couldnʼt even perceive the true gap between them. This guy could only count to a hundred and believed that he could count to a thousand as long as he counted to a hundred once more. He was trying to evaluate an Immortalʼs power as a mere Mortal.

”You will get your fight in 750,000 years,” the Overseer said. ”It might even help you perfect your Imposing Law.”

”Iʼm looking forward to it,” Kyle answered with a cold chuckle.

The Overseer just teleported away without saying anything.

After the Overseer left, Kyle just chuckled to himself again. He knew that the Overseer was still watching, but that didnʼt matter. The Overseer had already formed her opinion of Kyle, and almost all of Kyleʼs actions would be distorted by her perceived reality.

ʼ750,000 years,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼThatʼs more than enough.ʼ

ʼLetʼs hope you donʼt get cold feet.ʼ

A moment later, Kyle listened to his instincts and realized that there were two urges hidden deep inside of himself. Most of the time, people, and even Seekers, couldnʼt really tell what their instincts wanted them to do. Yet, Kyle had analyzed and listened to his instincts so many times that he had become very good at discerning the true purpose of his instincts.

ʼEvery Seeker subconsciously interacts with reality, its rules, and its Laws. Over a long period of time, their instincts find patterns in reality. Their instincts do not know what these patterns represent or what they mean, but they have seen these patterns many times before, and most of the time, these patterns were followed by other patterns.ʼ

ʼInstincts are a way to listen to reality itself.ʼ

As Kyle listened to the two things his instincts wanted him to do, he realized what their goal was.

ʼYou want me to define my existence. Neither Fierce Breaker nor my hammer-self have defined our existence after undergoing Fusion. Iʼm still a blank slate. I am a new existence without a name.ʼ

ʼSometimes, listening to your instincts is not a good idea. If I were to define my existence right now, my aura would undergo a substantial change. The Overseer would definitely notice.ʼ

ʼLuckily, I donʼt need to define my existence immediately. As long as I do it before becoming Immortal, nothing bad will happen.ʼ

ʼAnd the second thing my instincts want me to do...ʼ

ʼYou want me to use my Refined Law. You say that something amazing will happen if I use my Refined Law.ʼ

Kyle chuckled a bit.

ʼI guess thatʼs the way to become a Legendary Ascendant. Pushing your Imposing Law to 100% quality within the Fusion Realm probably consumes almost all of someoneʼs longevity, assuming they used their own body as an Imposing Law. This doesnʼt leave enough time to create a powerful Refined Law.ʼ

ʼUnless youʼve used your weapon. Itʼs much easier to create an Imposing Law with a weapon that youʼve been using for your entire life. If you do it that way, you might still have enough time to create a powerful Refined Law.ʼ

ʼMaybe your Imposing Law also needs to have the ability to use more than 100% of your Energy, which could only be accomplished by creating an Avatar in the form of a weapon. Sadly, I canʼt be sure what the requirements are.ʼ

Kyle grinned a bit.

ʼI only know that I already fulfill them.ʼ
