A moment later, four people arrived around the hammer. One of them was the Overseer, and she had used her abilities as Overseer to transport the other three to this place as well.
As Sebastian saw the hammer, his insides shook.
Kyle was dead.
This was all that was left of Kyle.
Sebastian glanced at Swamp Dragon with a mix of hatred and hope. He wished that Swamp Dragon hadn't lied to him.
Fierce Breaker looked at the hammer with narrowed eyes.
Swamp Dragon looked at it with a neutral expression.
The Overseer looked at it with shock and hope.
Everything Swamp Dragon had predicted had happened!
"This weapon contains the power of the Major Law of Death?" the Overseer asked.
Swamp Dragon nodded. "It contains all of Kyle's knowledge. Since the hammer came out, it means that Kyle has succeeded in comprehending the Major Law of Death. We just need to find a way to access its knowledge."
"Is it alive?" the Overseer asked.
"It is both dead and alive," Swamp Dragon answered. "Death is an absence of something, while life is constant transformation. This hammer is something, but it is in an unchanging state. It is a living being, eternally frozen in time. To be precise, it is a human, but it does not have a will or consciousness."
The Overseer narrowed her eyes and moved her hands towards the hammer.
"You must be careful," Swamp Dragon said. "It is a true mortal human. It is fragile and can't repair itself. If it breaks, it dies."
The Overseer carefully lifted the hammer, making sure not to break it.
As she held it in her hands, she felt...
Nothing.
It felt just like a random hammer that a Mortal would swing.
The Overseer infused the hammer with her Energy to investigate, and she found something interesting.
The hammer wasn't made of any material she knew. This was a completely new material. It looked and felt like metal, but there wasn't any Metal Energy inside it. In fact, there were no Elemental Energies at all.
It was like it was made of Neutral Energy that imitated the properties of Metal Energy, which was strange since Metal Energy was also just Energy. It was like it was imitating itself.
"I do not understand it," the Overseer said. "I know all of the Laws that exist in this world, but this hammer is not part of any of these Laws. Is it part of the Supreme Laws?"
"No," Swamp Dragon answered. "An Imposing Law is the representation of yourself. It represents your own reality. Kyle must have perfected his Imposing Law before dying, which means he has created a Law that is fully his own."
"If he had used himself as his Imposing Law, we would be seeing a human, but since he has used his hammer, we're seeing a hammer. This hammer is a representation of his own reality, and his reality has different rules and Laws from our reality."
"If you want to use it, you need to understand it. You need to understand its existence. This hammer is one-more Law that needs to be comprehended."
The Overseer furrowed her brows. "So, I just have to comprehend it, and I can use the Major Law of Death?"
"Yes, but that's impossible," Swamp Dragon said. "You cannot understand a Law that is not part of this Cosmos."
"Why?" the Overseer asked with suspicion.
"Because you are not human," Swamp Dragon said. "Kyle's Elemental counted as a human. It had its own physical Spirit and body, but its Center and mind were borrowed from Kyle. When Kyle was consumed by Death, all of his Energy vanished, and as it did so, he comprehended the Major Law of Death."
"When that happened, Death no longer infected him or his Elemental. In simple math, Kyle's existence represented the number one million, while his human Elemental represented one. Death subtracted one million, leaving one. The Energy that was left only rivals the Energy the Elemental's human identity had, and since his Elemental has never progressed as a human, the hammer is now Mortal."
"Accessing its powers represents understanding its Laws, and since its Laws do not fit into the Cosmos' Laws, you can only understand it by creating it."
