Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 858

"That sounds... risky," Kyle said with a deep breath.

"Oh yeah," Sebastian said with a nod. "I can see how everyone else died. Dude, the pain... it was indescribable. When she told me that I should condense Sin Flames and that I should learn to live with them for ten thousand years in preparation for the experiment, I already expected a lot of pain, but damn, it was so much worse."

When Kyle heard that, he took a deep breath through his teeth. He knew very well how painful Sin Flames were. He couldn't imagine a worse pain, but apparently, it could get even worse.

"Why was the pain so bad?" Kyle asked.

"Because I needed to change how my everything works," Sebastian answered. "My Core Spark is still connected to me, and an Elemental is made of pure Elemental Energy. Sure, you can store Elemental Energy in your Center, but that's because it has your will on it. The Lightning Energy I get from my Elemental is willless. Imagine Lightning coursing through your... everything, just everything."

Kyle shook his head in disbelief. "I'm pretty sure that's impossible. If willless Elemental Energy courses unchecked through your body, it's not different from a guy attacking you. Even if you could withstand the pain, you would just explode and die."

"Yeah, which is why I said that it's because of her," Sebastian added. "She kept me alive by continuously healing me. I was essentially dying for a long time while being conscious."

"And how are you not dying now?" Kyle asked with a raised brow.

"Because I had to change everything," Sebastian answered. "It's the same principle the Cult uses to change their ratio of Death and Energy. You have to find ways to combine them, but you have to do that yourself. Others can't help you with that. It's like understanding a really difficult Law, except that you're in unending agony the entire time."

Kyle just shook his head. He understood the principle behind it. He could see how it could work, in theory.

'Dude, that's unfeasible,' he thought. 'It's like saying that a Mortal could work for 17 hours every single day for an entire decade without any weekends. Technically, you could get enough sleep and could probably find a way to eat and drink, but it's not feasible. Nobody can withstand that much stress for so long.'

Kyle looked at the Lightning Elemental. 'I don't think I could do that.'

"Anyway," Sebastian said, getting back to the primary topic, "this was one of the reasons why I was an Overseer for so long. We had to experiment a lot. However, I also wanted to wait for the right time to go to the Supreme World."

"Right time?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, I was waiting for you," Sebastian said with a smirk. "I wanted to wait until you became a Sage or were about to become a Sage."

Kyle's eyes widened. "You waited because of me?"

"Yep," Sebastian said with a smile.

"Why?" Kyle asked. "It's been forever since we saw each other. Didn't you have other friends who were a bit easier to find?"

Sebastian's smile vanished, and a distant expression appeared on his face as he looked to the side.

Kyle could tell that he had hit a sore spot.

"In short, no," Sebastian said with a sigh. "My time in the Secondary World was... tumultuous. I found friends here and there. Most of them died in battle. Some of them betrayed me. When I basically became the enemy of the world, the remainder stepped away. I mean, I get it. I don't expect anyone to walk to their doom. It's their decision."

Kyle remembered the time he and Sebastian had been hunted by almost the entire Tertiary World. The Winterfire Kingdom had won, and their leaders wanted to kill them, which basically meant that the entire world wanted to kill them.

"Why did you become the enemy of the world?" Kyle asked.

"My Battle-Strength was too high, and there are limited resources," Sebastian said with a shrug. "You've no idea how often I've heard certain phrases."

"You're too outstanding to be left alive."

"You have to die before you grow up!"

"We know that you want our Treasures!"

"Join us or die!"

"You can't be left alive!"

"You're a disaster waiting to happen!"
