Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 838

Kyle seriously considered the offer. This could solve all of his current problems.

Yet, when he thought about his friends, he felt a bit guilty. He knew that they would probably support him. They would want him to grow stronger, even if it meant leaving the Array of Stars. They wouldn't want him to risk his future just so that he could stay with them.

Most likely, his true employer, the Cult of Final Fate, would also support the switch. Inner World's secrets were probably even more enticing to them than having a spy in the Array of Stars.

Kyle was also quite interested in Formation Arrays.

All in all, the offer seemed pretty good.

However, Kyle didn't like it for two main reasons.

First, yes, he was interested in Formation Arrays, but they were more of a side project to him. He was a fighter at heart. He wanted to increase his Battle-Strength. He wanted to swing his hammer. As a Disciple of Inner World, his primary focus would be Formation Arrays.

Second, Kyle's goal. He wanted to be truly free. He wanted to have agency. Formation Arrays were very powerful, but they would not grant him true freedom. Formation Arrays were borrowed power. At some point, they would reach their limit.

There had to be a way to become a God. The God of this Cosmos and the God of the Cult of Final Fate had to have come from somewhere. Most likely, they had once been weak as well.

Kyle suspected that Formation Arrays were probably not the way to become a God.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a fighter at heart," Kyle transmitted. "I really appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't be happy if my primary focus shifted towards Formation Arrays."

"Are you certain?" the representative asked.

"Yes, I am. Sorry," Kyle answered.

"It's your decision," the representative transmitted. "However, Inner World will still come into contact with the Array of Stars. While you don't have the power or funds to move Inner World, the Array of Stars does. You wanted support, and the best way to get our support is via the Array of Stars. If they value you enough, they will give us enough incentive to help you."

"Thank you," Kyle transmitted with a sigh.

The representative nodded before stepping back to the other representatives. "We've finished our conversation," he said.

The representative from the Contrast Empire looked at the representative from the Grand Exchange. "You're next."

The representative smiled as he stepped forward.

The representative also tried to recruit Kyle as an Inner Disciple, but Kyle once more refused.

"Is there any way in which I can gain your support or neutrality?" Kyle asked the representative from the Grand Exchange.

The representative looked at Kyle with some interest. Everything has a price. What are you willing to offer to us?"

Kyle went through his wealth. "I have about 20 Grade Six Energy Stones in liquid funds and several other things I could sell."

The representative nodded. "You need to purchase two things if you want to stay in the Secondary Sector. First, Golden Ember is one of our members. As one of our members, we will naturally support him. Buying him out of the Secondary Sector will move the Grand Exchange from an opposing position to a relatively neutral one."

"What does he want?" Kyle asked.

"You have to ask him," the representative said.

"And how am I supposed to do that?" Kyle thought. "Sending a diplomatic notice takes time. I can't just let all these people wait while I'm sending a letter to my pen pal."

Kyle quickly learned to operate the Communicator. Luckily, I always come prepared," he transmitted.

When the other representatives saw that, they furrowed their brows. "The agreement states that none of us are allowed to contact our Organizations during negotiations. The Secondary Sector's autonomy must remain pure. Decisions must be made by members who can enter the Secondary Sector," the representative from the Contrast Empire said.

"I know," the representative from the Grand Exchange said. "This is not a Communicator from Golden Ember. This is a Communicator from Goldfire, and I'm not going to use it."

The representative from the Contrast Empire wasn't happy, but he also couldn't really complain since this didn't break the agreement.

Kyle took the Communicator and looked at the Formation Arrays inside it. He wasn't sure if it was on purpose, but the Communicator only had the basics. No safety checks or identification. One could even call it a burner phone.

After some back and forth, Golden Ember finally named his price. "Ten Grade Six Energy Stones. This will go to me personally, not Goldfire."

"I'm willing to give you five," Kyle answered.

Golden Ember snorted. "That's not nearly enough. Ten Grade Six Energy Stones to buy out the strongest Crusher in the Secondary Sector is already cheap."

Kyle couldn't compete with the Grand Exchange in haggling and negotiations. They were the best merchants in existence. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
