Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1187

For the remaining 500 years, Kyle experimented with reducing the number of Law Infusions for his Formation Arrays.

'It's surprisingly difficult,' he thought. 'I've never realized how unusual it is to have so many Law Infusions in your designs. The free designs I can browse only have a couple hundred or a thousand. Meanwhile, I'm using tens of thousands.'

'No wonder I've felt like my progress was a bit too fast. I've basically designed Formation Arrays that are tailored to my Laws, which means they take stuff from all Laws. Like, if I have to make a Fire Formation Array, I use Law Infusions from like 20 different Laws. Major Fire, Minor Fire, Spacetime Fire, Spacetime Water, Major Water, Major Light, Minor Light, and so on. You basically have to know all of these Laws to set up my Formation Arrays, which is kinda crazy for normal Seekers.'

'It's like I'm designing a machine that only I can build, use, and maintain. Not surprising that nobody is interested in those. I guess making stuff easier to set up is the hard part.'

'Although, is it really necessary? I don't need other people to set up my Formation Arrays. As long as I can set them up, there are no problems. Reducing Law Infusions just makes my designs economically valuable, and I don't think I can create Formation Arrays that are better than the ones that are already on sale.'

Naturally, while the Abyss Hammer Team was studying Formation Arrays, the Karmic Hammer Team didn't just idle. Green had already spent a couple of Grade Nine Energy Stones to purchase some Formation Array Guides. These guides contained some lessons and finished designs.

'Even the harder ones in the Guides only have like 2,000 Law Infusions, and all of the Infusions just stretch across six Laws. Additionally, they are only in three categories. Space, Major Fire, Spacetime Fire, Gravity Fire, Major Metal, Gravity Metal. As long as you are Immortal and have a Metal and Fire Affinity, you can set it up. Meanwhile, if you want to set up my Formation Arrays, you basically have to be a Lord, a Demigod, or me.'

'Anyway, it's about time for the third task,' Kyle thought as he asked for his evaluation. Some seconds later, he unlocked the third task and looked at it.

'Once again, it shouldn't be hard to complete, but there is one requirement that's quite strict. This time, it seems to revolve around the intensity of the Energy Wave. The Energy Wave needs to be so well managed that almost no Energy escapes. This is very important for one simple reason.'

'Concealment. If the Energy Wave disperses too much, others can sense it much more clearly. You can encounter quite some problems if you don't manage the passive dispersal of your Energy Wave. In the best case, they will notice that there's a Formation Array. In the worst case, they can read its entire design.'

'Actually, this task came at just the right time. Every additional transformation of the Energy Wave disperses a bit of it. Fewer Law Infusions means fewer transformations means fewer dispersals.'

'Let's see how well I do.'

Kyle started experimenting, and after just a couple of weeks, he ran into some problems.

'I've reduced my Law Infusions to just 5,000, but I need to get even lower. I need to get to about a thousand, which won't be easy. In fact, this might be the first difficult task.'

For a moment, Kyle glanced at the suggested design for the third task. This time, there was a Node missing.

'You know, this design should work. I don't understand what rules these designs follow, but after they stabilize, they work with our rules. Their layout doesn't change, which means this is a layout that works with our Laws.'

'I should give it a try.'

Kyle created the layout and experimented with different Law Infusions.

Sadly, even after a century, he got nowhere.

'I can't see any way this will succeed,' Kyle thought as Black sighed. 'I fear there might be scattered insights of Level Eight or even Level Nine Laws in the finished product, and I don't have those Laws. Yeah, well, at least I learned something.'

While Black was coming up with a design, Green went out and bought an expensive Formation Array Guide for 20 Grade Nine Energy Stones. By now, Kyle had already invested 27 Grade Nine Energy Stones into his education.

This Guide specifically talked about making Formation Arrays commercially viable, but it was only a basic Guide. Knowledge that could lead to profits was always expensive.

'Wait, I can do that?' Kyle thought as Green read through a passage in the Guide. 'I can include Law Infusions in Material Fusions? I've tried that before, but the materials just broke into pieces. You're telling me that actually works?!'
