Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1194

Kyle made some last-minute preparations for the Excursion before going to the Descension Plaza with his Avatars.

When he arrived, he found Sebastian, who now went by Lost Spark, and Abyssal Depths waiting for him.

"Did everything work out?" Kyle asked Sebastian.

"Everything's good," Sebastian answered with a smile. "Comprehending the Major Primordial Force Laws was easier than expected."

"That means you can now sense the surrounding 440,000 kilometers or so?" Kyle asked.

"Probably," Sebastian replied with a shrug. "I haven't left the city yet. Can't really test my Divine Consciousness here."

"It should work," Abyssal Depths interjected. "As discussed, I've searched for more members, but I didn't find anyone useful or trustworthy. Not many people want to join a new Excursion Team."

"As expected," Kyle commented with a roll of his eyes. "I guess our Karmic Luck and our status as unaffiliated Immortals also don't help."

"Most people view us as suicidal idiots," Abyssal Depths transmitted. "Most likely, my search for members has also awakened greed in a couple of people. We might be the prime targets of a couple of Excursion Teams."

"I noticed," Kyle commented. "I've talked to a couple of people with my green Avatar, and I noticed that several of them already knew about my identity. A bunch of them even warned me, but I also noticed that half of the people who warned me actually just want to kill us." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Karmic Luck?" Abyssal Depths asked.

"Yes, I noticed it due to the small changes in their Karmic Luck," Kyle answered.

"At least we have a good Karmic Senser this time," Abyssal Depths commented. "My last team didn't have a good one."

"Well, in exchange for a good Karmic Senser, you got a shit Formation Array Master," Kyle said with a laugh.

Abyssal Depths didn't comment.

"Anyway, what about our lineup?" Kyle asked. "We should go with five people, which means going with five Avatars, right? We technically don't need five members if we send multiple Avatars."

"We can send in several Avatars, but that will make us a target," Abyssal Depths answered. "Losing two Avatars is much worse than losing one Avatar, and since we don't have the insurance fee, things might turn ugly."

Kyle shrugged. "Well, whatcha gonna do? We don't have the money."

With Excursions, there was an unwritten rule. Nobody wanted to lose an Avatar, but they also didn't want to lose any Energy Stones. Over time, the rule of the insurance fee had been established. People weren't forced to follow the rule, but it was good manners to respect it.

If someone handed over 10% of the Energy Stones they needed to advance after losing a battle, good manners dictated that the winner was supposed to spare the Avatars of the losing team.

In the distant past, people had left all of their valuables with the Avatars in the Protected City. When battles inevitably broke out, due to a lack of valuables, the Avatars of the losing team were killed. Over time, this created Immortals with only one Avatar, and these Immortals essentially couldn't leave the city since everyone knew that this Immortal now carried all of their valuables with them. This led to many Immortals forever staying in the Protected City, conjuring Energy Stones, which led to fewer people to kill and rob outside the city.

That was why it was encouraged to carry some wealth with the leaving Avatar. Alternatively, one could also pay the winner in the Excursion Lobby.

"Are you sure you want to leave with several Avatars?" Abyssal Depths asked.

"I think I'll go with two," Kyle answered. "I don't think it makes a lot of sense for Sebastian to leave with two as well. Maybe we should just go with four Avatars."

"You're the leader," Abyssal Depths agreed with a nod.

Sebastian also nodded.

"Do we go to the Lobby or not?" Kyle asked.

"It gives us valuable information," Abyssal Depths answered.

"It also gives them valuable information about us," Sebastian added.

"Hell, why not? I say, we go," Kyle said.
