Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 758 Slots

ʼLetʼs see. Iʼve also been layering the speed of my attacks. Body movement, arm swings, hammer… but thatʼs it.ʼ

ʼThe Divine Beast also elongated its pincers during the attack. On top of that, it launched its elongating pincers as well, adding even more speed.ʼ

Kyle looked at his hammer.

ʼTechnically, I could also expand my hammer. I mean, when I grow bigger, my hammer also grows. There are also Fragments of the Law of Minor Metal related to increasing metalʼs size.ʼ

ʼSadly, the speed isnʼt very overwhelming. It would maybe increase the speed of my swing by about 1%, but thatʼs it.ʼ

ʼWhat could I do to increase the speed of my attack even more?ʼ

Kyle thought for a while about his past and how his battle style had evolved.

ʼIʼm already using my physical power to its full potential. The only way to increase my speed even more would be via external support, which means the world around me.ʼ

ʼI could use my Elements, but they are not nearly as strong as my Complex Laws.ʼ

At that moment, Kyle remembered a couple of techniques he had learned as a Mortal.

ʼAir Current. I remember that.ʼ

As an experiment, Kyle swung his hammer a bit while using Air Current.

There was basically no difference in speed. As soon as he started swinging, Air Current completely broke apart. After all, it was not made to be used by Crushers.

ʼIf I could refine it further, I could maybe create something that uses Air Current as a base. Minor Wind includes the Fragment of Speed, which supports speeds up to 3,000 kilometers per second. If I just use it, I wonʼt really get anywhere.ʼ

ʼI would need a Fragment that increases my speed even more, but that would be a Fragment of the Law of Gravity Wind.ʼ

ʼSpeaking of, after Iʼm done with my new Complex Law, Iʼm going to comprehend that Law anyway.ʼ

Kyleʼs brows furrowed.

ʼItʼs definitely the right choice to improve my Center next, but is it really the right choice to improve my body again with a Complex Level Five Law?ʼ

ʼIf I view this as an RPG, it would be like improving one good aspect to become even better, when I actually have other slots that are completely not in use. Itʼs like getting a legendary chest piece to replace my rare chest piece while the remainder of my body doesnʼt wear any armor.ʼ

ʼShouldnʼt I fill out all the slots first?ʼ

ʼLetʼs see, when Iʼm done with my new Complex Law, my Center will be much stronger. That basically improves all of my attributes while also having a significant impact on my Law of Hammer.ʼ

ʼItʼs definitely the right choice. Thereʼs no reason to change that.ʼ

ʼBut what about the Complex Law following that? It would be a Level Five Complex Law, and it would replace my Level 3.5 Complex Law. That would make my current Complex Body Law useless.ʼ

ʼI would be wasting a slot.ʼ

ʼYet, as a Crusher, it would still be the right choice to do that. After all, I was a Legendary Primal, and the baseline of my body is higher than any other Crusherʼs body. My physical power, as a baseline, is even stronger than the body of a Legendary Crusher.ʼ

ʼBut thatʼs exactly the thing. Itʼs the right choice currently, but for how long will that be true? I only truly benefit from my powerful body as a Crusher. As soon as I become a Sage, my body will basically be as strong as everyone elseʼs.ʼ

ʼEven more, their Centers are extremely powerful, while my Center will already be kinda weak again. I should look further into the future.ʼ

Kyle looked at his different ”slots”.

ʼI have a Complex Law that improves my body. I will also make one that improves my Center, but thatʼs it. Iʼm only using two slots. I can still improve my mind and Soul with Complex Laws. Even more, thereʼs actually nothing on my hammer. I used to surround my hammer with the Law of Meteor, but that thing basically became useless. Itʼs simply not strong enough to make a difference.ʼ

ʼBut thatʼs because it is a Law that works on something external, like my hammer. In a way, you could say Complex Laws like that donʼt really scale, while Infused Complex Laws scale.ʼ

Slowly, a plan was forming in Kyleʼs mind.

ʼThere are five slots in total. Body, Center, mind, Soul, and external. I have two, body and external, but I am only using one. In that sense, the slot for an external Law is free again.ʼ

ʼI should fill all five slots, but thereʼs an issue. I donʼt have enough Laws and Elements that I can use to fill all of them.ʼ

ʼMy Infused Law of Center will eat up all my Level Three Laws, and my next one will eat up all my Level Four Laws. What would even be left?ʼ

ʼWhat about recycling? While infusing a Mixed-Element Complex Law is not the best way, itʼs still better than nothing, right? As a base, my Law of Meteor is a Level Two Complex Law that gets boosted to Level 2.5 by my Core Spark.ʼ

ʼIf I use it as an Infusion, it would be like fusing a hypothetical Level 1. 75 Law with a Level Two Law, creating a pretty strong Level 2.5 Law. Itʼs not an amazing Law, but since itʼs an Infused Complex Law, it scales. It still improves my baseline.ʼ

ʼIf I infuse my mind or Soul with my Law of Meteor, I would have another slot filled.ʼ

ʼThen, I would need to slot in something else into the last slot, but I donʼt think it should be my future Level Five Complex Law. I mainly rely on my body and Center. If I use it to improve my Soul or mind, I might get some benefits, but they wonʼt truly come through.ʼ

ʼI hate to admit it, but I think I was wrong. I wanted to go all boom, bang, smash, but I donʼt think itʼs that simple.ʼ

ʼI think I shouldnʼt Essence Fuse my Level Five Law but make a Mixed-Element Complex Law.ʼ

Kyle groaned.

ʼBut that also means that I have to create techniques and shit. Thatʼs so much woooooork.ʼ

ʼYeah, well, whatcha gonna do? The next Realm is going to be super ass anyway. A bit more ass wonʼt make a difference.ʼ

ʼBut that still leaves one slot open, and I have no idea what to do with it.ʼ

ʼSince Iʼm going to recycle my Law of Meteor, all my Laws are already used in something.ʼ

ʼAll my Level One Laws are in my Law of Meteor. All my Elemental Level Two Laws are in my body. All my Level Three Laws will be in my Center, and I think I will use all my Level Four Laws to make a Mixed-Element Complex Law.ʼ

ʼThat leaves no Laws for my mind.ʼ

ʼI also donʼt have more Affinities. Iʼm basically tapped out.ʼ

ʼIs there something I can use to slot into my mind?ʼ

Kyle thought about it for a while, and eventually, he got an idea.
