Strongest Hammer God

The Wall Builders got all of the materials for Kyle, and after a couple of oaths, Kyle went to work.

He constructed a full set of Formation Arrays. In total, he gave the Wall Builders even more Formation Arrays than he had given the Mountain River Sect.

Over the past centuries, Kyle had also included some of his knowledge of Gravity Metal into his Formation Arrays. For example, his Metal Barrier Formation Array could generate harder walls that also pulled in attacks at no additional cost. He had also incorporated minor aspects of gravity into his Space Compression Formation Array, making it cheaper to operate.

The Confinement Formation Array had also been redesigned. The number of spears was reduced, but they were harder and drew the enemy towards them. There were fewer attacks, but each was more powerful. The cost had also been reduced a bit.

After Kyle was done creating the Formation Arrays, he received the information he had asked for and permission to enter the Law Well for Gravity Fire.

When everything was finished, Kyle went to one of the neighboring powers.

Once more, Kyle had to prove who he was, but after the annoying part was over, he had another client.

Luckily, this client had a good chunk of money lying around, and Kyle got a hefty payment of 80 Grade Five Energy Stones.

Then, he went to another neighbor and got another 80 Grade Five Energy Stones.

Afterward, Kyle left the area and sold his services to a couple of Organizations far apart, making sure he wasn’t selling Formation Arrays to direct competitors.

In just a couple of years, Kyle made around seven Grade Six Energy Stones, which should be enough to support his comprehension of the last two Pure Level Four Laws.

Finally, he went back to the Wall Builders and entered one of the Planets under the guidance of the Head Elder.

The Planet was humongous, and its gravitational influence was substantial. Probably not even Primals could escape from its influence, while Transcendents would slowly get crushed.

“Gravity Fire only appears inside very hot and big Planets,” the Head Elder explained. “Half of the Planet acts as a Law Well for Gravity Fire. As long as you keep digging, you will find it.”

“Thank you,” Kyle answered. “I will be staying here for the foreseeable future. I trust that you will keep your promise.”

The Head Elder nodded. “We will not tell anyone about your identity. Any of our members who see you or your Formation Arrays will just be told that you’re a secret Chosen. We will not speak a word about you to any outsider.”

“That’s all that I want,” Kyle said. “If you’ll excuse me, I will now enter seclusion.”

“We wish you luck,” the Head Elder said.

Then, Kyle dug further into the Planet under the intensifying gravity.

Eventually, the rocks and metals around him vanished, giving way to an unending storm of fire.

Surprisingly, this was not magma or molten metal. It was just pure fire.

Luckily, this was only the edge of the Law Well, and the Gravity Fire wasn’t hot enough to injure Kyle.

As Kyle looked at the dense Fire and Gravity Energies around him, he felt nostalgic.

‘This reminds me a bit of that time I comprehended Yin-Fire,’ he thought. ‘Back then, I just mindlessly swung my hammer. Fun times. Anyway, I should go deeper.’

Kyle went deeper into the Planet. The gravity and heat grew more intense as he progressed, and soon enough, his body started to get injured.

‘This should be deep enough. I don’t think anyone will come to this place. After all, even my body is getting injured at these depths, and I used to be a Legendary Primal while also having a Level 3.5 Complex Body Law.’

‘Now, I need to construct my lab again. I need Firecopper 19, eight Grainsteles, five…’

As Kyle gathered a list of materials in his head, he started to feel some regrets.

‘Why can’t it be like it used to be? Why can’t I just mindlessly swing my hammer around?’

Kyle sighed. ‘Sadly, I don’t really have the luxury of time. I need to get through this as fast as possible, and building Formation Arrays to create a Law Well is the most efficient way.’

‘I wish I could go back to when comprehending Laws was fun.’

Kyle started constructing his Formation Arrays, but as he kept going, he slowed down.

‘Actually, why can’t I?’ he thought. ‘Why can’t I go back? Sure, running experiments and learning about Laws is sorta fun, but I haven’t swung my hammer in forever.’

‘I’m a hammer guy, not a Formation Array guy. Formation Arrays are useful, but they are not my identity.’

Kyle pulled out his hammer and looked at it. As he watched it, he felt a deep sense of connection.

This was who he was. His hammer was his identity.

‘Why am I so laser-focused on getting my Complex Level Five Law? There are a bunch of ways to improve.’

‘Without all the Formation Arrays, I will probably need a thousand years or so to comprehend the Law of Gravity Fire. It’s three centuries more, but I also get to swing my hammer for a thousand years.’

‘I’ve never swung my hammer for that long. There’s a good chance that I can improve my Law of Hammer a bit. Right now, my Law of Hammer can only consume about 24% of my Energy. If I can increase the total limit of Energy my Law of Hammer needs, I can increase its power significantly.’

‘Yeah, why not? I’m just going to swing my hammer for 700 years or so. I’ll activate an alarm on my Communicator, and after 700 years, I will fully focus on comprehending the Law of Gravity Fire. Not sure how much of the Law will be left by then, but 300 years should be enough.’

Kyle activated the alarm on his Communicator and started smiling.

‘But I still need a Concealing Formation Array at least. I don’t want to take any chances.’

‘Speaking of Formation Arrays, since I’m not using a lot of them, I can go even deeper. I want a proper sear on my body when I swing my hammer.’

The next moment, Kyle summoned his Gravity Core and put it behind him.

‘The Gravity Core will counter the gravity of the Planet so that I can go deeper. It can also act as one of the components of the Concealing Formation Array.’

After some tweaking, Kyle went deeper into the Planet.

At some point, he reached a spot so hot that Kyle lost just as much Biological Energy as he was recovering.

As he looked forward, he saw the Gravity and Fire Energies combining and splitting in a beautiful display of natural concepts.

Finally, Kyle took out his hammer and readied it.

‘Let’s see if I can learn something.’

Then, he swung it.
