Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1126

'We're voting on Swamp Dragon's fate as well?' Kyle thought, with a bit of surprise.

"Any suggestions?" the man asked.

"Death," Kyle said.

"Death," the man said as the word appeared in the middle of the table.

Swamp Dragon wasn't surprised.

Then, nobody said anything for a while.

Kyle's eyes narrowed as he looked at Swamp Dragon. 'He could easily say freedom or Ascension, but he's not saying anything. Why?'

"Ascension."

Kyle and Sebastian looked at Fox with furrowed brows.

Fox just looked at Swamp Dragon with a conflicted expression. Swamp Dragon had tried to kill her several times, but he had also saved her. Even though she had traded one prison for another, she believed that this new prison was better than her old one.

"Ascension," the man said as the word appeared in the middle of the table.

Yet, almost immediately, a third option appeared.

"Eternal Overseer."

"Where did this come from?" Melanie asked with furrowed brows.

"The world has made a suggestion," the man said. "It seems like the world believes that Swamp Dragon should forever remain as its Overseer."

"How does this world-thing even work?" Melanie asked with some annoyance.

"It's an agreement," the man said. "Do you believe the votes and suggestions of the world are inaccurate? Do you believe the world would have voted differently during the last vote? Do you not believe that the world would want Swamp Dragon as its Overseer?"

Melanie just looked at the table. "Not really. It seems to fit what the world would want, but I still don't know how this works."

Sebastian also seemed a bit confused.

"It's reality's emotions," Kyle commented. "You can only sense them after you've undergone your Fusion. It's difficult to explain. Up to now, I haven't seen any inaccuracies."

In the beginning, Kyle hadn't been sure how the world could contribute to the conversation, but after some time, he had realized how this entire thing with the world worked.

Melanie looked at Sebastian with a raised brow, who just shrugged in return.

"Alright," Melanie said.

"I believe these are all suggestions," the man said. "Then, let's cast our votes."

Kyle groaned. 'And once again, I feel like I could change the outcome, but that might also just be an illusion. The last vote has opened the gate to a lot of fuckery. There can be so much overthinking that nobody might get what they want.'

'Once again, I will just vote with honesty.'

"Everyone has voted," the man said. "Let's look at the results."

Kyle's vote: +2 death, +1 Overseer, 0 Ascension.

Swamp Dragon's vote: 0 death, +2 Overseer, +1 Ascension.

Sebastian's and Melanie's votes: +2 death, 0 Overseer, +1 Ascension.

The man's vote: +1 death, +2 Overseer, 0 Ascension.

The world's vote: +2 death, +4 Overseer, 0 Ascension.

Fox's vote: +1 death, 0 Overseer, +2 Ascension.

The vote for eternal Overseer had won with nine points, death being the closest with eight points.

'Yeah, I actually couldn't have made a difference,' Kyle thought. 'Even if I had voted for ascension for my secondary vote, it would be a tie, and there are more primary votes on Ascension.'

Kyle looked at the others when the results were published.

'And sure enough, there was fuckery.'

Fox wanted Swamp Dragon to ascend, but when she saw how close death was behind the Overseer option, she became terrified. She knew that the Overseer vote would be the favorite, which was why she had used death as a secondary vote, and it had almost backfired!

Sebastian just sighed. Naturally, he also wanted Swamp Dragon dead, and he had voted for Ascension as his secondary vote to weaken the Overseer vote.

The man's secondary vote was also surprising. Did he honestly believe that Swamp Dragon deserved death, or did he simply miscalculate? He could've easily voted for Ascension without changing the outcome.

The vote of the world seemed confusing at first glance, but if one actually thought about its history with Swamp Dragon, it made sense. Swamp Dragon would obviously be an amazing Overseer due to his character, but he had caused the last apocalypse. The world wanted Swamp Dragon as an Overseer since it would benefit a lot from that, but if it couldn't have that, it would kill Swamp Dragon for what he had done.

'I'm not sure why Swamp Dragon voted like this,' Kyle thought. 'Does he truly want to be an Overseer for all of eternity, or did he expect that death would win if he had put his primary vote on Ascension?'

Kyle sighed. 'Too many mind games. This is like fucking poker.'

"The result is out," the man said. "Swamp Dragon will be Ayuvar's Overseer for all of eternity."
