Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1069

When Kyle heard that sentence, he knew that he wouldn't be able to find Swamp Dragon.

"Did you tell him that I've already completed my Fusion?" Kyle asked.

"Of course not," Sebastian answered. "I told him nothing about you."

"You're saying he already knew?" Kyle asked.

"Possible, but I can't be sure," Sebastian said.

Kyle took a deep breath to suppress the frustration and rage he felt deep inside.

Did Kyle want to kill Swamp Dragon?

In the past, no. After all, Swamp Dragon was the best shot they had to deal with the Overseer. Killing him would make all the sacrifices meaningless. Killing him would be the wrong thing to do.

But things had changed. Kyle was done with accepting sacrifices. He didn't want to do what he thought was the smart thing to do. He wanted to do what he wanted to do.

Swamp Dragon had sacrificed too many people for the "greater good". Kyle was done with Swamp Dragon. He had gone too far!

His schemes had destroyed Ayuvar!

His schemes had killed Lara!

That was unforgivable, and if Kyle ever found Swamp Dragon, he would kill him.

Sadly, Swamp Dragon had apparently already suspected that Kyle had undergone his Fusion. The reason why the Fusion was so relevant wasn't the increase in power it gave Kyle. Even without the Fusion, he could kill Swamp Dragon easily.

The Fusion was relevant since it represented a new beginning. According to the world, the being known as Kyle no longer existed. What had replaced him was the being that used the Energy of two specific Imposing Laws to identify itself.

Kyle's sins and oaths had nothing to do with this new being.

This was the only opportunity a Seeker received to start again. No negative Karmic Luck. No positive Karmic Luck. No oaths.

When someone declared their new existence, everything that had happened before then would be forgotten. Only the Karmic Lines remained.

That was why Kyle was no longer bound by his oath to allow Swamp Dragon to become the Overseer.

"What did he want?" Kyle asked. "Why did he risk exposing himself to me by talking to you?"

"He came to tell me about the plan," Sebastian answered. "He told me about the Overseer and his plan to kill her."

"He met the Overseer?" Kyle asked.

"No, Fierce Breaker did, but that actually isn't relevant since the Overseer is just as we had imagined her to be, apparently," Sebastian explained.

"What's this plan?" Kyle asked with some annoyance. "Let me guess, more sacrifices."

Sebastian sighed. "As he put it, we are the inferior party. If we want to win, we have to sacrifice more than the enemy."

"What else is there to sacrifice?!" Kyle shouted. "We've already sacrificed everything, aside from our lives!"

"Aside from our lives, yes," Sebastian answered with a hollow chuckle.

Kyle's eyes narrowed, and the world around him shook. "He wants you to sacrifice yourself?!"

"According to what he told me, my death would help his plan to succeed, but it might not be necessary. It's a last failsafe. I'm not the only one. His plan includes all of our lives, including his own."

"Mine as well?" Kyle asked coldly.

"Yep," Sebastian answered neutrally.

"What about becoming a Legendary Ascendant?" Kyle asked.

"He said it might make a difference, but not a large one. The battle would still be too difficult. If you can somehow reach that level, you might have a tiny opportunity to succeed."

When Kyle heard that, a small glimmer of realization appeared in his eyes. 'Swamp Dragon knows a lot, but there have never been any Legendary Ascendants in history. In fact, there has only been a single Unique Ascendant.'

'He's only including the extra Energy in his calculations. He doesn't realize that I can combine the power of two Avatars.'

'I may actually have a shot, assuming I fulfill all the other criteria.'

'It's not hopeless.'

"What is his plan even about?" Kyle asked.

Sebastian sighed. "I... don't want to tell you."

Kyle's brows furrowed. "Why not?"

"Because you won't follow it."

"Wait," Kyle shouted in shock, "you're planning on doing what Swamp Dragon said?!"

Sebastian looked to the side.

"It's a good plan. It's the best shot we have. Also, it might not even come to that point. The Overseer might die before then."
