As Kyle went through the powers he had gained, he remembered what Sebastian had told him. Sebastian had told Kyle that Swamp Dragon believed that Kyle couldn't win by himself.
'But now, I'm technically not by myself anymore,' Kyle thought as he sensed his Energy.
Fierce Breaker had undergone his Fusion. The hammer had undergone its Fusion. Both were Advanced Ascendants, and both of them had access to the amount of Energy an Advanced Ascendant should have access to.
Yet, they were one person now, and they could use each other's Energy without issues.
'This means I have access to twice as much Energy as an Advanced Ascendant should have access to. We are two beings, but we are also one being. I have 200% Energy, even though I should only have 100% Energy.'
'I can also create an Avatar for each of my existences. If I create a second body and a second hammer, I will have four times 90% Energy instead of only two times 90% Energy. I also have the same Imposing Law two times.'
'We are two people that can work together perfectly.'
'I hate to admit it, but Swamp Dragon has essentially doubled my power, and that's only when I talk about my baseline. His plan has actually resulted in my power growing even more if I include other things.'
'For example, I wasn't sure how long it would have taken me to push my Imposing Law to 100% quality. I only managed to break through the last barrier when I was facing death. I only succeeded when I felt the true freedom of death. Would I have reached such a headspace without entering the Gate of Death? Possible, but it might have taken hundreds of thousands of years.'
'An Imposing Law with 100% quality...'
'I remember hearing that there is a huge difference between a Seeker with a 99% quality Imposing Law and one with a 100% quality Imposing Law. Apparently, their powers can't be compared at all.'
'And now that I have access to one, I can confirm...'
'That's absolutely true.'
Kyle felt his Imposing Law and its power.
He swung his hammer once, and the Energy around him was thrown into disorder.
In terms of power, it was just slightly stronger than a 99% quality Imposing Law. If one only looked at power, there was barely any difference.
Was it faster? Only a tiny bit.
Was it better at defending? Only a bit.
So, what was it that made a 100% quality Imposing Law so much better?
'Integration,' Kyle thought. 'My Imposing Law has integrated. I do not need to use it anymore. My existence has synchronized with my Imposing Law. I am my Imposing Law. Every action I take is in accordance with my Imposing Law. My Energy is already my Imposing Law.'
'That means, I do not need to use any Energy anymore.'
'In the past, my Imposing Law has reserved 99% of my Energy. As long as I used my Imposing Law, I couldn't use anything else. If my Energy Storage were to fall to 98%, my Imposing Law would become unusable.'
'That's no longer the case. I can use my Imposing Law without reserving any Energy. Even more, its power is not diminished by a lack of Energy.'
'Even if I only had 10% of my Energy left, it would retain its full power.'
'It has turned from an active ability that reserves 99% of my resources into a passive ability that has no cost.'
Kyle summoned an illusory hammer, which swung in the void. The strike reached 25% of the level of power a physical strike of his would reach.
When Kyle summoned the illusory hammer, he noticed that his Energy dropped a bit, but not a lot. He only lost 0.25% of his Energy. 'While launching the strike is free, I am not launching it myself. The illusory hammer is swung by the world, which means I have to control the Energies with my Spirit. The world is not me, which is why I have to invest Energy to make it do what I want it to do.'
'My own strikes are free, but my illusory hammers are not completely free.'
Kyle snorted. 'But that's still far better than what I used to have. In the past, I would have needed to invest 99.25% of my Energy to create an illusory hammer, and if it were destroyed, I would lose that much Energy.'
'Now, the fate of my illusory hammer isn't relevant anymore. If it gets destroyed, I will lose nothing but the 0.25% I've invested to launch the strike, but I would have lost that anyway.'
Kyle waved his hand to the side, and 20 illusory hammers appeared in the world around him.
'Every single one of these strikes can obliterate a Peak Ascendant Divine Beast. I could kill 20 Peak Ascendant Divine Beasts by only using 5% of my Energy. I wouldn't even need to touch them.'
'If I were to fight someone with a 99% quality Imposing Law, I would just need to counter their strike with my own strike. At the same time, I could also launch a random attack. Since my Imposing Law would keep their Imposing Law busy, they wouldn't be able to defend from these attacks. Their body would receive tremendous injuries, and their Energy Storage would fall. That would force them to weaken their Imposing Law, while mine would retain its peak power.'
'The difference is crazy.'
'200% Energy. A 100% quality Imposing Law...'
