Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1003: Elemental Storm

Kyle found himself in a metallic world dominated by violent storms of fire. His body was turning grey as his grey skin turned into particles of searing flames that joined the surrounding firestorm.

ʼI... whatʼs going on?ʼ he thought as his mind was rearranging all the chaotic memories and concepts.

ʼThis is not my body. This does not feel familiar. The pain is gone. How much time has passed?ʼ

”One more sacrifice,” a deep voice spoke. ”Just one more sacrifice.”

Kyleʼs eyes widened as he looked around. For some reason, this voice felt familiar, but it also felt alien.

Nevertheless, he recognized the voice, even though he had never heard it.

”Youʼre the Demon Car?” Kyle asked. ”I thought you didnʼt have a mind.”

”I have a mind,” the deep voice spoke. ”Iʼm just not supposed to use it. Itʼs not my job to make decisions. You know more about reality than I do. Acting autonomously in the presence of a higher existence will only make things worse.”

”The Pure Energy around me is too complex. I do not work with Pure Energy, and I canʼt analyze it to a sufficient degree. Can you make sense of them?”

Kyle felt the surrounding Energies. All the knowledge accumulated by comprehending Laws allowed him to sense what was going on.
”My Core Spark and the Elemental have been taken from my body and pushed into yours,” Kyle said. ”Your existence is being converted into pure Elemental Energies. Youʼre fusing with the Elemental. However, your existence isnʼt complete. You will simply turn into more Elemental Energy.”

”Will this help achieve your goals?” the voice asked.

”Iʼm... not sure,” Kyle said. ”I donʼt think so. If you turn into an Elemental, you wonʼt be able to disguise yourself as a Demon anymore. This will reveal us to the Abyss, and we will all die.”

”What should be done?” the voice asked calmly. ”Your mind is far beyond mine. I can give you advice, but you have to make the decision.”

Kyleʼs mind was going wild as he tried to find an answer. The surroundings became more chaotic.

”You need a Spirit,” Kyle said. ”If you can condense a Spirit, you can remain in the Main Dimension. You will still look like an Elemental, but at least, you will still be in the Main Dimension.”

”How do I condense a Spirit?” the voice asked.

”Itʼs a complicated process. In short, you have to mimic the movements and transformations Energy makes when a fetus is developing. First-”

”Thatʼs it?” the voice asked. ”I can do that.”

”Are you sure?” Kyle asked. ”The process is extremely complex, and-”

”What form do you wish?” the voice asked.

”You just need to retain your current form,” Kyle said. ”But as Iʼve said, itʼs not-”

The next moment, the Energy in the surroundings warped in specific patterns and fluctuations. As Kyle felt the patterns, his eyes widened.

These were exactly the patterns that Manny had told him to make when creating the Demon Carʼs Spirit!

The firestorms became slower as countless fluctuations spread across Kyleʼs world.

”Yeah, like that,” Kyle said awkwardly.

”The body wonʼt be convincing,” the voice spoke. ”The best I can do is a metallic body with something that mimics a metabolism. Anyone who knows a bit about biology can tell that this is not a natural body. I need more Elements.”

”More Elements?” Kyle asked.

”Yes, can you provide them?”

”I... let me try,” Kyle said as he focused on his body. His perception stretched deep into his own self, and he managed to establish a connection.

”F-Fruits,” Kyleʼs physical body spoke weakly, making Sebastian and Star Genesis look at him.

”Kyle?” Star Genesis asked.

”Fruits... all of them! All Elements!” Kyle spoke weakly. ”Hurry!”

Inside the Demon Carʼs world, Kyleʼs body fell backward as he lost the connection to his real body again. ”Letʼs hope they listen.”

Meanwhile, in the real world, Star Genesis and Sebastian were arguing fiercely.

”We canʼt!” Sebastian shouted. ”This will kill the Elemental! The Elemental is Kyleʼs sole source of power right now! His Spirit and mind have already changed! If we kill the Elemental, his mind will receive Neutral Energy, which it canʼt use! He will die!”

”He said he needs them!” Star Genesis shouted back. ”Kyle should know best what he needs right now!”

”Heʼs delirious!” Sebastian shouted back. ”His mind is a mess!”

”He didnʼt sound delirious to me,” Star Genesis said. ”If he says he needs something, I believe him.”

”Youʼre killing him!” Sebastian shouted. ”If you give him these fruits, we will all die!”

”Sebastian,” Star Genesis said, ”Kyle has disappointed me a couple of times, but he has never disappointed me when it comes to his power. He reached a level of power that should be impossible to achieve. Thereʼs a realistic chance that he might have been the most powerful Sage this Cosmos has ever seen! If anybody knows how to survive and grow stronger, itʼs him!”

”Trust him!”

Sebastian gritted his teeth before looking at his surroundings.

Kyleʼs body seemed almost lifeless. The Demon Car was turning into an Elemental.

His mind went through countless calculations, and when he was done, he felt the true weight of their current circumstances.

”It canʼt be stopped anymore,” Sebastian said with a dark voice. ”The Demon Car will turn into an Elemental. When that happens, we will be found. If we kill it, we will also be found. The only way to stop this is to kill the Elemental, which will kill Kyle. If Kyle dies, we might be able to find a way out.”

A feeling of deep rage rose inside Star Genesis when she heard that.

”No worries,” Sebastian said. ”Weʼre not killing Kyle. I was just brainstorming. Kyle is the most integral part of our survival. Even if we two die, he must survive.”

Sebastian sighed. ”Thatʼs also why I didnʼt want you feeding the Fruits to him. If things keep going as they are now, we will die, but he might survive.”

”Iʼm going to give him the fruits,” Star Genesis said with a cold voice, not commenting on Sebastianʼs words.

Sebastian sighed and shook his head. ”Sure, go ahead.”

Inside the Demon Carʼs world, Kyle was waiting for a change.

”I canʼt go any slower,” the dark voice spoke. ”You have to make a choice.”

Kyle took a deep breath. ”I trust them. The Energy will arrive.”

”Itʼs your choice,” the dark voice spoke.

Seconds passed.

And then, a storm of Energy joined the world.

Rains joined the firestorm, lowering its temperature.

Earth was fighting against the metallic ground.

Lightning broke the ground and flowed into the metal.

The ground became dark, and the sky became bright.

All the Elements were here, but they were destroying each other.

Water and fire turned into steam, which was scattered by the wind. The lightning destroyed the ground, and the debris blocked the storm. The metal corroded as light and darkness turned grey.

Everything was present, but everything was also interfering with everything.

There was only destruction.

”Everythingʼs here,” the dark voice said. ”If I canʼt order everything, you will die.”

”I donʼt know how to create order.”

Kyleʼs eyes widened.

”But you might,” the dark voice said. ”Thereʼs no way back. I control this world, but only you know how to fix it.”

”I need your mind.”

”You must give me full control of your mind.”

”Trust that I will give it back in the end.”
