Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1100

This information...

"Worthless!" Breathing Golem transmitted to Auspicious Starsky. "We already know that we need an Ascendant to control such a Law Well! If we had one, we wouldn't have these issues! We know there are ways to control such a Law Well with Formation Arrays and other techniques since other Higher Continental Organizations have also managed to conquer their Law Wells! We've gained nothing!"

"This Lone Elder is trading with us maliciously!"

Fulminant Cycle narrowed her eyes. "I'm not entirely sure," she transmitted. "He might not know any better. Technically, he spoke the truth. It is the cheapest and most effective way to control this Law Well. It's just that we don't have access to the resources required for his technique to work."

"He's an Ascendant!" Breathing Golem transmitted aggressively. "He knows that we don't have Ascendants! Yet, he told us to ask him about his technique anyway! As an Ascendant, he can't be this stupid or clueless! He's acting maliciously!"

Fulminant Cycle had an unsure expression on her face. "Your words make sense, but they also don't feel accurate."

Next, she turned to Auspicious Starsky. "I'm unsure how to proceed. He might be malicious, but he might also just be clueless. As always, it's your call."

Auspicious Starsky deliberated his partners' words for a moment before his eyes became a bit colder. While he wasn't fully on Breathing Golem's side, he still somewhat agreed with his words. Even if this Lone Elder were clueless, he would have known that there were questions that could give them more benefits.

Luckily, he had prepared for such an eventuality.

Auspicious Starsky looked back at Black. "Thank you for your answer. We would now like to ask our first question."

"First question?" Kyle asked neutrally, already knowing where this was going.

"Yes, ever since we accepted the trade, we haven't asked any questions. We have only made statements about potential questions, and you gave us answers to questions that have never been asked. None of our presumed questions have been questions. They were statements. Therefore, we still have two questions. Additionally, it is common knowledge that such trades always involve oaths to ensure that both parties keep to their words."

'Sneaky,' Kyle thought. 'You're trying to play with Karmic Luck, huh? Sadly, your knowledge of Karmic Luck can't compare to mine. You don't know it yet, but our conversation will end with me gaining more than I will lose.'

"If you want to be like that, sure," Kyle answered. "I fully believe in my heart that I have been cooperative and that our trade has been concluded. I will be staying here until I'm done comprehending Immortal Earth. You may do whatever you want. I will keep to my word and not hinder your people from interacting with the Law Well. I won't comment on any additional statements. Have a good day."

Auspicious Starsky's expression didn't change. He had already expected something like this.

"Are you sure you want to proceed in this manner?" Auspicious Sky asked.

Kyle didn't answer.

"Your presence makes investigating the Law Well dangerous, and we can't afford to risk our valuable resources. Your presence and conduct are actively hindering us from entering parts of our own territory."

Kyle didn't answer.

"Since you're not willing to budge from your position, we are forced to retreat due to your superior Realm. Whatever comes off this development will be on your conscience, not ours."

Kyle remained silent.

"You've been warned," Auspicious Starsky transmitted before turning to his two partners. "We're going back."

The two of them nodded. They wouldn't gain access to their Law Well today, but they would get something else in return.

Karmic Luck.

Conflict between different factions didn't only involve physical battles. Such conflicts were multifaceted. They also involved resources, morale, ideology, politics, alliances, loyalties, and most importantly, Karmic Luck.

Since Lone Elders were mostly solitary, they often lacked insights into the rules dictating Karmic Luck.

The three leaders returned to their headquarters and put the operation on hold.

What made even less sense was the fact that they were not losing Karmic Luck. They were giving him positive Karmic Luck, but they were not losing any Karmic Luck to him.

The leaders were not entirely sure what this meant.

Meanwhile, Kyle looked at his Karmic Lines. Three of his Karmic Lines were extremely green, while millions of smaller ones were a bit green.

'I saved your entire Organization with our talk,' Kyle thought. 'There's no way you would have succeeded. In the best-case scenario, you would have lost mountains of resources. In the worst-case scenario, you three would have died, and your Organization would have been thrown into turmoil.'

'That's why I'm gaining Karmic Luck from you and all of your members.'

Black grinned a bit.

'However, that doesn't mean that you have to suffer. Instead of risking your lives and your resources by entering a suicidal bet, you're prioritizing stability. You're taking better care of your members, and you're protecting them from turmoil by prioritizing stability.'

'I'm gaining Karmic Luck.'

'You're gaining Karmic Luck.'

'Isn't that what trading is all about?'

'A good trade benefits all parties.'
