Kyle watched the Avatars explode and saw their Karmic Lines destabilizing. Since he knew how Karmic Luck worked, he knew what this represented.
These were unattached Karmic Lines, and unattached Karmic Lines dispersed almost immediately. After all, this kind of path could only exist if it had a start and a goal.
A goal needed a start to exist, but a start didn't need a goal. It was possible to walk with no goal in mind, but as soon as someone walked, there was a start. A unidirectional path could have a start without a goal but not a goal without a start.
Yet, Karmic Lines were not unidirectional paths. Karmic Lines were bidirectional. One end affected the other, and the other affected the one. When one end was destroyed, the path lost a start and a goal. The other side could still have a start, but it wouldn't lead to the same goal.
As the two Karmic Lines began to disperse, Kyle grabbed them with his perception. He forcefully kept them from dispersing, but that only worked for a short moment. The longer he kept them stable, the more the world would try to disperse them.
'The fewer people know about me, the better,' Kyle thought. All of these things happened so quickly that Kyle's attacks hadn't even finished.
Kyle manifested the Karmic Lines in reality, right in the paths of his attacks.
His two hammers hit the Karmic Lines. A physical attack interacted with the physical end of a Karmic Line. The attack had a path. The Karmic Line was a path. The end of the attack's path reached the beginning of the Karmic Line's path. The paths combined. The goal of the attack's path combined with the start of the Karmic Line's path. The two ends canceled each other out, elongating the path.
The attack's path and the Karmic Line's path became one. The start of the attack's path now led to the goal of the Karmic Line's path.
As soon as the hammers hit the Karmic Lines, they vanished. There was no great explosion or dispersal of Energy. It was like the hammers simply stopped existing.
Of course, they didn't stop existing. They had simply switched planes. The Karmic Lines acted as a portal between physical reality and Karmic Reality.
The speed of Karma was almost as high as the speed of Energy, which meant it might as well be instantaneous.
The power of Kyle's attack was translated into Karmic Information, which traveled through the Karmic Lines, and when it reached the end of its path, it was dumped into Karmic Reality. Yet, as an attack, it wasn't supposed to exist in Karmic Reality. The rules of Karmic Reality banished the attack from Karmic Reality, throwing it back into physical reality.
The power of the attacks was released at the end of the Karmic Lines, and the Karmic Lines ended where the other Avatars began.
The remaining power of Kyle's attacks materialized directly in front of the Avatars and continued traveling.
If the Avatars were fully prepared with powerful attacks, equipment, Laws, Domain, and Momentum, they might have had a chance to survive. After all, Kyle's attacks had each already gone through the accumulated defenses of one Avatar.
But there were no defenses. How could someone conjure any defenses when an attack materialized directly on their skin? Their body had to resist the attack. Sadly, when compared to the attack of an Immortal, the body of an Immortal didn't count for much.
As long as someone knew the Law of Karmic Causality, killing the first Avatar was more than ten times more difficult than killing all the other Avatars of a target.
Kyle couldn't sense whether or not his attack had worked since it was no longer his own attack. When it had been translated into Karmic Information, it had lost its identity. At that point, it had stopped being his attack.
'But I'm pretty sure that they're dead. It's technically possible to survive such an attack, but not without help. If a powerful Lord were beside them and intervened at the perfect time, they might survive. However, the speed of such an attack is so high, and it appears so suddenly that the Lord essentially has to be beside them and be prepared as soon as the attack has been launched. I don't think they anticipated me knowing the Law of Karmic Causality.'
As Kyle watched the Avatars' valuables appear in the middle of space, he fell into thought.
