Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1241: More Choices

Reality seemed to distort as all of Kyle's Avatars activated their Momenta. Within a single instant, all of the enemy Momenta were pushed back. For just a moment, all of them felt like their minds had been hit by a sledgehammer. Their minds swam and couldn't focus for just the smallest of moments.

Yet, this small moment was enough to neutralize their defenses. All of the Energy they had just used to create their defenses fizzled, weakening them 70%. If Kyle had activated his Momentum earlier, they would have been ready for such a strike, and it wouldn't have been nearly as effective.

The four illusory hammers flew forward and hit four of the members. Kyle hadn't been able to use all of his Energy in this strike since his Energy Storage hadn't been near its maximum.

Karmic Calamity hit them and transported them into a world of endless horrors and fear. Karmic Calamity didn't work like most Soul Attacks. Instead of attacking the mirror image, it attacked their consciousnesses.

While defending against normal Soul Attacks, one's Energy and one's Infused Law were the most important, but when it came to defending against Karmic Calamity, the Infused Law wasn't nearly as important. Instead, Momentum and one's remaining Energy were important.

The black world of Karmic Calamity sent one specter after the other at them. Endless pain, hopelessness, and misery assaulted them as they looked around in confusion. They didn't know why they were here. They didn't know where all of this hatred came from. They didn't know why existence hated them to such a degree. What had they done to deserve this?

They just wanted to live. Was that really so bad? Was life truly this brutal, cold, merciless, hopeless, and painful?

They felt like they had just started existing, and existence had already become so painful that they wished they hadn't been born.

They fought against the tide, screaming in helplessness, but it just didn't end.

Surprisingly, one of the two members who had three Avatars was the first to fall, despite having more total Energy. They died first because of their weak Momentum.

Yet, the others soon followed. If they had been at their peak condition, they would have most likely survived Karmic Calamity. Sadly, just before Karmic Calamity had hit them, they had already given up. They had planned to concede, and that decision had weakened their hearts.

An eternity passed within the dark world of Karmic Calamity, but in reality, only a tiny instant passed before the four Avatars stopped transforming Energy. Transforming Energies into different Energies was one of the most fundamental parts of what it meant to be alive, and when these transformations ended, life ended.

At that moment, shock washed over the other people.

Abyssal Depths just looked at Kyle's Avatars in silence. She had seen how he had decimated the Rock Turner Team, but that had been different! He had used a bunch of Energy to block their attack before killing one of them. This time, he had actually killed four Adept Immortals at the same time! The Energy required to accomplish something like this had to be unreasonable! After all, Kyle essentially needed to cut through four weakened Adept Immortal Avatars, and six healthy Adept Immortal Avatars in terms of Energy.

He was only a Beginner Immortal!

Were his Formation Arrays truly this advanced and powerful?! She still remembered how Kyle had said that he wasn't a true Formation Array Master.

Was that even possible?

The Leader of Team Wooly Sheep looked at Kyle with just as much shock. How powerful was this Formation Array Master?! He didn't just kill four Avatars but four entire Adept Immortals!

Sebastian just grinned, while Spring of Joy just showed a friendly smile.

The last member of the Composting Team, their Leader, just looked with pure terror and disbelief at Kyle's Avatars.

How?! They were supposed to be the favorites!

At that moment, Blue and Red looked at the Leader with narrowed eyes.

The Leader was thrown into an abyss of terror. The last time he had felt this scared was when he had still been a Mortal.

As Kyle saw his eyes, he knew what was about to happen.

This guy was too scared, and that was a huge issue. One of the reasons why Kyle had gone so hard on the enemies was to keep his power secret. As long as no one in the alliance talked, things would work out. After all, if his predictions were correct, there might soon be no additional witnesses left.

If the Leader simply conceded, Kyle could kill him at the cost of some Karmic Luck.

If the Leader ran away, Kyle could kill him with another use of Karmic Calamity.

Fear often made someone hesitant and indecisive, but when fear became too intense, things changed again. The Leader was too terrified. He wasn't terrified of losing his Avatar or wealth. No, he was terrified of losing his life, and his fear would tell him to do the one thing that would allow him to survive.

He would detonate his Avatar so that he wouldn't get hit by the next Soul Attack.

Karmic Calamity wasn't ready yet. Kyle had just used his Refined Law with all four of his Avatars. Before he could use it again, the Leader's Avatar would have already detonated.

Forcing him to swear an oath wouldn't work. First of all, oaths couldn't be forced by threatening someone's life. Second, Kyle doubted that the guy would even listen to him.

Kyle was put before a choice.

Yet, he wasn't the only one who was put before a choice.

"You have not chosen your future yet," Spring of Joy transmitted to the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep. "You must choose soon."

The Leader of Team Wooly Sheep had no idea what Spring of Joy was talking about. She was still busy dealing with her shock and disbelief. Her mind didn't even process what Spring of Joy was talking about, which was why she didn't answer.

At the same time, Kyle and the Leader of the Composting Team acted. The Leader's Avatar destabilized as he tried to disperse the Energy his Avatar was made of. He tried to kill his Avatar as quickly as he could, but such an act wasn't instantaneous. It was very fast, but not instantaneous.

Meanwhile, Red swung his hammer. The Composting Team had been standing in a group while assaulting the alliance. The Leader of the Composting Team was only about 50 meters away. For Immortals, such a distance between two of them was so small that their chests might as well touch.

Red's hammer moved forward.

BANG!

At that moment, the Leader's Avatar collapsed violently. Before Kyle's hammer could arrive, the Avatar had already died.

"Think long and hard," Spring of Joy transmitted to the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep. "What do you want your future to be?"

The Leader of Team Wooly Sheep still couldn't process what was happening, but Spring of Joy's words burrowed deep into her mind. For some reason, these words felt so incredibly important.

Red's hammer struck.

A dispersing Karmic Line suddenly materialized as Red's Hammer hit it.

While Kyle's Refined Law wasn't ready yet, his other Imposing Law could be used. Sadly, it wasn't a Soul Attack.

But he could make it act like a Soul Attack.

The hammer stopped moving after hitting the line.

Once more, the onlookers became shocked.

They knew what it meant when a Karmic Line seemingly absorbed a physical attack.

Meanwhile, in the Excursion Lobby, the Leader of the Composting Team looked with terror at the dead Avatars around him. He had almost joined them.

Luckily, he had made the right-

BANG!

The Avatar violently exploded.

The Law of Karmic Causality had struck.
