Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1220

'I have no idea how I can launder all of these resources,' Kyle thought. 'The most obvious way would be to buy loot from random teams and sell it, but if the teams start to talk to each other, I'll seem suspicious.'

Kyle sighed. 'Well, for now, I can't use my newfound wealth. That sucks. If I sold everything, I would have enough to become a Minor Immortal. That's three entire advancements. After all, I'm still a New Immortal. Also, the Abyss Hammer Team doesn't have enough money yet.'

'Anyway, I should tell the others that everything's fine.'

Blue and Red dug upwards while Green returned to Wild's Summit in the Immortal Dimension.

Yet, just when Green arrived in Wild's Summit, he received a voice transmission.

"Have you activated a Last Light?" the Protector asked.

Kyle immediately became nervous. 'Shit! She sensed it!' Naturally, Kyle wasn't afraid that she would believe that he had activated the Last Light. After all, he could simply swear a confirmation oath. The issue was that she would find out who had activated the Last Light and who their target was. The logical follow-up question was how Kyle could still be alive.

"I have not activated a Last Light," Kyle transmitted back. "I swear, I have never used a Last Light, ever. I never injected Energy into one. I never activated one. I've never built one. I've never bought one. I've never been gifted one."

The Protector waited for a moment. When she saw that Green's Karmic Luck hadn't changed in the slightest, she confirmed that Kyle hadn't used it. However, that had also never been her suspicion. The higher one's Battle-Strength was, the less likely they were to use a Last Light.

"The systems have picked up the usage of a Last Light on the Planet on which Team Ankylosaurus currently resides. The closest Communicators to the activation site are yours and three others. You must have noticed something," the Protector transmitted. "Your statement is imperative for the investigation."

'Acting like I haven't noticed anything won't fly. I have to give her some information. Well, here goes...'

"I have seen the person who activated the Last Light," Kyle transmitted.

"I require confirmation with a higher level of reliability," she transmitted.

"I swear that I have seen the person who activated the Last Light," Kyle transmitted.

The Protector looked at Kyle's Karmic Luck. With his Law of Karmic Causality, he could hide some of the changes in his Karmic Luck but not all of them. Not even he could hide the damage his Karmic Luck would receive if he broke an oath.

"Who was the person?" the Protector asked.

"I... am not sure if I want to tell you," Kyle transmitted with uncertainty. "Almost everyone has a backer. This person must have received the Last Light from their backer. I don't believe this investigation will uproot the entire network behind them. Only some people will experience consequences. If they find out that I sold them out, I will become their target."

The Protector's brows furrowed, but Kyle couldn't see it. She was still within her house. She could sense him, but he couldn't sense her. "The person who used the Last Light must be dealt with. International rules demand their execution. Immortals who knowingly protect the identity of such a person will be dealt with in the same manner."

"What if they are already dead?" Kyle asked.

"Can you confirm it with sufficient certainty?" the Protector asked.

"I swear on my life, I am 100% certain that the user of the Last Light is very much dead, with all of their Avatars destroyed," Kyle replied.

The Protector remained silent for a moment. "I need you to confirm some statements. These statements act as confirmation oaths. Do you agree?"

Green nodded.

"You are certain that you know who has used the Last Light, correct?"

"Yes, I swear."

"You have seen them activate the Last Light, correct?"

"Yes, I swear."

"You know who their target was, correct?"
