Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 826 - Protagonist and Antagonist

As Kyle focused on comprehending the Law of Gravity Wind, things in the Secondary Sector calmed down.

Azure Comet hadnʼt made any big moves, which was good.

Thanks to their new Planets, the Organizations could finally focus on comprehending Laws. Many of the Fulfilled Crushers in the different Organizations hadnʼt had access to a fitting Law Well for a Level Four Law before the auction.

Now they finally had access to one and wanted to work on becoming Unique Crushers.

After a couple of years, some of the Organizations also traded Planets among themselves using Azure Cometʼs Planet-Moving Formation Arrays.

In the end, almost every Organization had all the Law Wells they needed.

This meant they didnʼt need to expand their territories any further. They already had everything they wanted.

By now, there were only around 20 Organizations left. Starsign, Goldfire, Voidwave, the Four Dragons, and Azure Comet were the Big Five. The other Organizations all had at least ten Fulfilled Crushers, and these Organizations all wanted to have a Unique Crusher of their own.

To become a Unique Crusher, one needed to learn a bunch of Laws, and since everyone had access to good Law Wells, the Organizations didnʼt send any declarations of battle.

Once more, Azure Cometʼs actions led to a period of peace in the Secondary Sector.

However, this peaceful period was different from the last one.

The last one had been a frustrating period of peace. The Organizations still wanted to fight, but they hadnʼt been able to because of the powerful Formation Arrays.

This time, they simply didnʼt want to fight.

The Fulfilled Crushers and the Advanced Crushers didnʼt want to fight since they only wanted to focus on their Laws.

The only ones who wanted to fight were Major Crushers, but their opinions didnʼt matter.

The Secondary Sector was currently in the late stages of the Elite Period. Major Crushers werenʼt even powerful enough to be eligible to join a battle or war between Organizations. So what if they wanted to fight? Even if there were fights, they wouldnʼt be included.

As time passed, most Major Crushers left the Secondary Sector, but that was a normal occurrence during the Elite Period.

One could say that all of the powerful people in the Secondary Sector were happy with how things were going.

Naturally, this gave Kyle quite a lot of Karmic Luck, but that wasnʼt enough to get rid of his Sin Flames.

Some centuries of peace passed, and slowly, things changed.

The normal Organizations were still happy with how things went, but Starsign and Goldfire were not happy.

They still needed to grow, but all the other Organizations refused their declarations of battle. Even friendly requests were refused.

Sure, they had enough Karmic Luck to simply attack any other Organization, but all of the other Organizations had amassed so much Karmic Luck that this would cost them dearly. Even more, they might lose more people than they gained.

The Elite Period was not about amassing territories but about amassing Fulfilled Crushers. A war was great for getting territories, but not for getting Fulfilled Crushers.

The only thing Goldfire and Starsign could do was to slowly erode the Karmic Luck of the other Organizations by sending declarations of battle. Eventually, they would need to give them some kind of answer.

Sadly, that took a lot of time, and they didnʼt have much time left.

The leaders of Goldfire and Starsign were growing old. They only had a couple of centuries left.

Just like Ray of Judgment, they were feeling the pressure of time.

They needed to become Legendary Crushers soon!

Sadly, their powers were about equal. If any of them attacked the other one, their Formation Arrays would win the war.

Fighting each other was impossible. So, they looked at the other members of the Big Five.

Fighting Voidwave on their home turf was suicide. Their Formation Arrays were even more powerful than Azure Cometʼs Formation Arrays, and they even had a Unique Crusher.

The Four Dragons seemed like the easiest target. Most likely, they would be able to win.

However, the Four Dragons didnʼt have a Unique Crusher. While their leaders had the power of one when fighting together, killing them wouldnʼt have the same impact. Most likely, destroying the Four Dragons wouldnʼt be enough to make them Legendary Crushers.

Attacking Azure Comet was also an option. On paper, he seemed to be the weakest. Yet, the actual Planet was a huge issue. Attacking the Planet from space would not get them anywhere. Azure Comet wouldnʼt even need to use any defensive Formation Arrays. In order to win, they would need to enter the Planet, which would put them into the range of Azure Cometʼs Formation Arrays.

Without his Formation Arrays, Azure Comet was essentially just a strong Fulfilled Crusher, but with them, he was immortal in the Secondary Sector.

In the end, Starsign and Goldfire decided to do something unconventional.

They agreed on a war in the middle of space, where nobody could use Formation Arrays.

The news of the war spread across the entire Secondary Sector, and everyone waited for the outcome.

Eventually, the two powers met in space with all of their strongest members.

A brutal battle ensued, and many Fulfilled and Advanced Crushers died. The highlight of the battle was the fight between the two Unique Crushers.

In the end, one of them died, while the other one survived.

The victor was…

Goldfire.

Starsign was eliminated, and all their wealth, territories, and surviving members were consumed by Goldfire.

The Big Five had become the Big Four.

The name of Golden Ember, the strongest Unique Crusher and leader of Goldfire, spread across the Secondary Sector.

An overlord had been born.

While the Secondary Sector looked at Goldfire in shock and awe, the upper echelon of Goldfire became nervous.

Golden Ember just looked at the floor in despair.

It hadnʼt been enough!

He had not become a Legendary Crusher!

His impact was not big enough!

Why?!

This had worked for all of the previous overlords in the Secondary Sector!

He had done the same thing as them, but he hadnʼt become a Legendary Crusher!

Yet, when he listened to what all the people in the Secondary Sector were saying, he realized what had gone wrong.

”Golden Ember has to be extremely powerful and talented. Do you think he can finally take down the bane of the Secondary Sector?”

”Goldfire is, without a doubt, the most powerful Organization in the Secondary Sector. I wonder if they will attack Azure Comet.”

”Yes, Goldfire is strong, and yes, Golden Ember is obviously a genius, but do you think they can deal with Azure Cometʼs huge fortress?”

”I wonder who would win if Goldfire attacked Azure Comet.”

”Hey, do you think Goldfire can win against Azure Comet?”

Golden Ember clenched his fists in frustration.

Azure Comet.

Golden Ember couldnʼt become a Legendary Crusher because Azure Cometʼs reputation was just as grand as his.

In the eyes of the people, Azure Comet was the powerful antagonist, and it was the job of the protagonist, Golden Ember, to beat the antagonist.

The Great Battle was the climax of the game, and the winner would win the entire game.

However, in the eyes of the people, the Great Battle was still to come.

They wanted to see if someone could beat Azure Comet. Golden Ember put his head in his hands in despair.

He knew…

There was no way he could kill the antagonist in his fortress of evil.
