Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 965: Level 5.5

In the beginning, the Fighter Demonʼs Domain covered everything, but as soon as Kyle activated his own Domain, the Fighter Demonʼs Domain was pushed back. Kyleʼs Domain violently beat the Fighter Demonʼs Domain back into its body, not allowing it to expand in any way. The Fighter Demon tried to expand its Domain outward, but as soon as even a little bit of it touched the outside world, Kyleʼs Domain pushed it back inside with unrelenting dominance.

As a New Spirit Lord Demon, the Fighter Demon had a Domain with the power of a Level Three Law. Due to the difference in Realm, one could say that it had the power of a Level 3.5 Law while fighting a Domain of a Legendary Sage.

Yet, that Realm difference barely mattered. Even a Level Four Law would be pushed back into the Demonʼs body.

Usually, when there was only half a level of difference, the two Domains would clash. The weaker party would still control their immediate surroundings, while the stronger party would control the world around the weaker partyʼs Domain.

In a battle, this would be more than enough as long as both parties fought each other from a distance. The weaker party would not be influenced by the stronger partyʼs Domain due to their own Domain. Yet, if they closed in on each other, the stronger Domain would influence more of the space that both parties inhabited.

With a one-level difference, the weaker party would not be influenced by the enemyʼs Domain as long as they were not too close to the enemy, but they would also not benefit from their own Domain.

However, as soon as there was a 1.5-level difference, the weaker party would be helpless. They would be subject to the enemyʼs Domain, no matter what they did.

Kyle only needed a Level Five Domain to break the enemyʼs Domain, but it would still take a bit of time to establish control. Yet, Kyleʼs Domain had completely obliterated the Fighter Demonʼs Domain. This could only mean that Kyle had a Level 5.5 or Level Six Domain.

Sadly, Kyle didnʼt have a Level Six Domain. Just like with his old Domain, Kyle had fused the Fragments of Space, Time, and Gravity. Based on the components, Kyle had created a strong Level 5.5 Law by fusing the Fragments. Unfortunately, Fragment Fusions were not as clean as Law Fusions. A lot of the power would be lost upon fusing them. In the end, his Essence had only reached a Level of about 4.8. By combining it with his Level Five Major Law of Soul, he had created a good Level 5.5 Infused Soul Law.

However, a strong Domain also needed to be supported by a strong mind. A Level 4.5 Infused Mind Law could barely support a Level 5.5 Domain. Yet, Kyleʼs Domain was solid, clean, and clear. It was more than clear that Kyleʼs Infused Mind Law could support an even stronger Domain.
Of course, as the others had suspected, Kyleʼs Infused Mind Law was on the same level as his other three Infused Laws, Level 5.5.

While Kyle had used Earth, Metal, Light, and Darkness for his Center, he had used Fire, Wind, Lightning, and Water for his mind. The reason why he chose to distribute his Elements in this way was that he wanted to keep his mind clear.

As a Legendary Sage, Kyleʼs mind had already been fully refined and strengthened. The power of an Infused Mind Law was no longer strong enough to completely change his personality.

Yet, if the Infused Mind Law was strong enough, it could still influence someoneʼs personality to some degree. Because of that, Kyle had chosen a good combination of Elements.

Fire was violent and powerful. Wind was fast and carefree. Lightning was explosive and determined. All three of these Elements essentially pushed someoneʼs mind forward. They instilled unrelenting energy, power, and conviction into someoneʼs mind.

That was why Kyle had added the Element of Water. Water was cold, calm, and flexible. The Element of Water gave Kyle the necessary power to calm his raging emotions. It offered a safe haven in the raging storm of fire, wind, and lightning.

By now, the onlookers could see all of Kyleʼs Infused Laws.

All four of them were at the same Level.

Level 5.5.

All of them rivaled the strongest sets of Rites when trained to perfection.

The only thing that Kyle couldnʼt compete with were the actual Battle Rites of these sets. The Battle Rites were the strongest, and they reached the power of Level Six Laws. Meanwhile, Kyleʼs Law of Black Hole was only a Level Five Law.

When the Fighter Demon realized that it couldnʼt fight Kyleʼs Domain, it charged forward with aggression. Since it couldnʼt win against his Domain, it didnʼt matter where it was. It would be influenced by his Domain wherever it went. Therefore, it might as well charge right towards him.

As the Fighter Demon charged forward, the space between it and Kyle expanded, turning one kilometer into two. The relative time of the surroundings slowed, making the Fighter Demon 20% slower. The intense gravity pulled the Fighter Demonʼs limbs towards its body, making it much harder for it to move them.

Meanwhile, Kyleʼs relative time increased, making him 20% faster. He could manipulate the space between him and his opponent to suit his needs, just like he could control the gravity.

Due to the Realm difference and the fact that this was a Divine Beast, the Fighter Demon had a slightly stronger body than Kyle. And yet, as it moved towards him, it did not look like that was actually the case.

It seemed cumbersome, slow, and clumsy.

As the Fighter Demon kept charging, Kyle activated his Momentum. For the onlookers, the world didnʼt change, but for the Demon, all of reality changed.

Divine Beasts had strong resistance to Momentum, but that did not equate to immunity. While the Fighter Demon wasnʼt thrown into hell, it started to become intimidated.

Instead of the raging power of fire, it felt the lethargic cold.

Instead of the fast and carefree power of wind, it felt the disorienting and stubborn feeling of a tumbling stone.

Instead of the explosive and determined power of lightning, it felt the uncertain and apathetic feeling of a leaf being subject to the autumn wind.

Instead of the calm and collected power of water, it felt the unstable and scattered feeling of sparks, flying from a fire.

Planning its attack was difficult. Its body and mind were lethargic. It didnʼt feel like the battle was winnable.

But it would still try.

The Demon charged forward, but its heart was not completely in it. It lifted its swords and slashed forward.

Kyle just watched it for a moment.

And then...

He let go of the water in his mind, throwing himself into the violent storm of raging fire and thundering lightning.

All of Kyleʼs muscles bulged with unending aggression and determination. His face transformed into a vile grimace, filled with absolute hatred.

BANG!

The space between Kyle and his enemyʼs body shrank as he exploded forward with all of his power.

The swords hit the space behind him as he pulled his right arm back.

A black hole appeared on Kyleʼs fist, and an instant later, it shot forward.

”RAAAAAAAH!” Kyle shouted with unrelenting aggression as the black and orange Energy around his fist turned chaotic.

The Domainʼs gravity and the black holeʼs attraction pulled the Fighter Demonʼs head towards Kyleʼs approaching fist.

The Fighter Demon didnʼt know what to do and hesitated.

The fist reached the head.

BOOOOM!

Kyleʼs fist hit the Fighter Demonʼs head, its force spreading through its bones and scales in vibrations that destabilized them with countless tiny cracks. At the same time, Kyleʼs entire arm exploded under the counterforce, and even his back muscles tore.

Then, the power of the black hole exploded.

CRKSH!

The Fighter Demonʼs damaged head couldnʼt withstand the gravity and imploded, turning into a crushed sphere of scales, flesh, brain, and bone.

Its body hit the ground with a colossal impact, creating a wave of destruction that would have traveled for thousands of kilometers if there hadnʼt been Barrier Formation Arrays around the makeshift arena.

The dust settled rather quickly, and the onlookers could only watch in stunned silence.
