Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1028: No Solution

The pillar immediately charged out of the Law Well. The silhouette didnʼt move, and moments later, it dispersed.

ʼFuck!ʼ Kyle thought from outside the Law Well. ʼFuck!ʼ

ʼThis is the worst-case scenario! The Formation Array scales with someoneʼs Realm, but it has a minimum strength requirement equal to the strength of a Late Sage Demon.ʼ

ʼIf this were a normal Late Sage Demon, I might be able to find some kind of way to cheat myself through this battle, but itʼs not! This is not an opponent but a focused explosion. The other Demons break the silhouettes to disperse their explosive powers, but in the end, they are still victim to the explosion!ʼ

ʼYes, I can probably smash that silhouette into pieces, but thereʼs no way I can survive the following explosion. The pillar canʼt even properly resist the ambient temperature!ʼ

Kyle took a deep breath. ʼThere has to be some kind of way to get past this. I also have a ranged attack. If I destroy the silhouette from a distance, I might survive.ʼ

The pillar walked back into the Law Well, and some seconds later, another silhouette appeared. Without hesitation, the pillar ran out of the Law Well again.

ʼTen kilometers! This guy spawned merely ten kilometers away from me. Thatʼs far too close. I need a distance of at least 200 kilometers to have any kind of chance.ʼ

The pillar went back in again, and another silhouette appeared.

15 kilometers.
Another time.

13 kilometers.

Eight kilometers.

Ten kilometers.

19 kilometers.

Kyle tried it over a hundred times, and in the end, he stopped trying.

ʼShortest distance is five kilometers. The longest one is twenty kilometers.ʼ

ʼThereʼs no way.ʼ

ʼI could just consume the explosion since it doesnʼt have a will on it, but thereʼs no way nobody will notice. My human body could survive it without issues, but that will expose me. If I change the pillarʼs body to fully focus on defense, I wonʼt have enough power to disperse the silhouette. At that point, the explosion would be over ten times as powerful.ʼ

ʼI could use my Spirit to influence my surroundings, but that will also expose me. I could fuse all of my Laws, including the Level Four Laws, but that also wonʼt work. Sure, I would probably survive, but thereʼs no way nobody will become suspicious.ʼ

Kyleʼs mind went through countless plans and eventualities.

ʼThereʼs just no way. With my current kit, I canʼt possibly survive here. The only way would be to garner the attention of the Ascendant Demon and convince them to give me access, but how am I supposed to do that? Iʼve already shown far too much power. If I show even more, nobody will believe that Iʼm a Demon.ʼ

ʼThe Demons need to specialize in something to gain the permission to comprehend Laws here. Either you need such a high defense that you can survive the explosion, or you need such offensive capabilities that the explosion disperses, or you need so much speed that you can outrun it. If youʼre a Fighter Demon, you can also survive by being good at everything.ʼ

ʼI could do all of these things, but I simply do not have enough Energy.ʼ

Kyle looked at the Law Well with unwillingness before taking a deep breath. Finally, he released a sigh of resignation.

ʼI concede. Thereʼs no way I can get through this without dying or exposing myself.ʼ

The pillar turned around and left the vicinity of the Law Well.

ʼMaybe I can look at the other Elements.ʼ

After some time, Kyle found a Law Well for Spacetime Wind. Yet, when he saw it, he didnʼt even try. Watching what the other Demons had to do to gain access told him that gaining access to this Law Well was impossible.

ʼTheyʼre fighting a concentrated stream of wind. Peerless speed allows you to enter the Law Well. Peerless defense allows you to resist the wind. Peerless offense pushes the wind back. If I could launch several attacks in a short time, I would be powerful enough to gain entrance, but sadly, I canʼt.ʼ

Next, Kyle looked at the Law Well for Spacetime Water.

ʼAn unending hailstorm. Evade the stones, destroy them, or defend against them. Again, impossible for me.ʼ

The Law Well for Spacetime Lightning.

ʼSilhouettes again. Same as the Law Well for Spacetime Fire.ʼ

The Law Well for Spacetime Earth.

Once more, Kyle sighed in resignation. ʼThe materials are only found in golems that keep multiplying and growing. If youʼre fast enough, you can snatch the newborn golems before they become too strong. If youʼre powerful enough, you can kill the really strong golems and collect their materials. If youʼre durable enough, you can slowly consume the materials that fall to the ground while the golems attack you.ʼ

ʼI can destroy a weak golem with my attack, but Iʼm not fast enough to get to them in time. Additionally, my following moments of weakness will expose me to other golems.ʼ

Kyle shook his head and went to the Law Well for Spacetime Metal. If he could collect some of the metals, he could use Star Genesisʼ Formation Array more. According to his estimates, he had enough Spacetime Metals to comprehend two Level Five Laws, but afterward, he would be out.

When Kyle saw that the Spacetime Metal Law Well was also filled with golems, he gave up.

Next, he went to the Law Well for Spacetime Darkness.

ʼBalls of darkness that chase you,ʼ Kyle thought with a helpless sigh. ʼAgain, speed, defense, offense, or being great at everything...ʼ

ʼDestroy the balls. Resist the balls. Flee from the balls.ʼ

Kyle went to the last Law Well, the one for Spacetime Light.

ʼMore balls,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼSame thing as always.ʼ

The pillar just stood in the middle of nowhere, not moving. Kyle was desperately trying to find a solution.

ʼCanʼt even use the Primordial Force Laws. All of them are about influencing your surroundings, and Demons canʼt do that. There are some very rare beasts that have unique abilities related to one of the Primordial Force Laws, but theyʼre just inherent abilities. If I want to resist the Spacetime Elements, I need to mess with their Time and Space Energies, but I canʼt do that as a Demon.ʼ

ʼThereʼs just no way.ʼ

ʼItʼs impossible.ʼ

Kyle looked towards the west. ʼCould Sebastian and Star Genesis help? Well, if they rush through the Compression Realm and advance to the Wisdom Fire Realm, they could probably get some Spacetime Metals from the Law Well for Spacetime Metal.ʼ

ʼSadly, that also wouldnʼt help me. The golems are made of semi-permanent metals. After they die, their metals disperse within a couple of minutes. Sebastian would need to charge in and out repeatedly, delivering metals. That would be more than strange and suspicious.ʼ

Kyle kept thinking, but there was just no good solution.

ʼI should try talking to Sebastian and Star Genesis. Maybe they can think of something. If not even they can think of something, I have to do something drastic. Either go to the Elemental Dimension or go back to Humanity.ʼ

ʼI hope they can think of a solution.ʼ
