Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 860

"That is up to you, Mr. Freeman,” the Red Witch said. "I've done my job. The Cult generally doesn't force things on you unless you have explicitly agreed to it beforehand. You may return or try to get back to the Main Dimension."

Kyle sighed. "I had a plan for going back to the Main Dimension. The reason why I left half of my wealth on my Planet was so that random people could find it and benefit, generating a bunch of positive Karmic Luck. I planned on escaping to the Hell Dimension, leaving the Secondary Sector, and waiting until my Karmic Luck improved."

'Guess that plan won't work anymore. While I didn't directly kill them, I was partially responsible for two Immortals dying. I don't think some donations can fix that much negative Karmic Luck.'

Kyle thought back to the Cult. 'They haven't treated me horribly. I agreed to become a Parasite, and they even amended my contract with them due to my doubts.'

Kyle sighed. again 'It's actually crazy. My relationships with any of the Peak Organizations are either negative or neutral. At this point, I can say my relationships with the Array of Stars and the Contrast Empire are negative, while my relationships with the Grand Exchange and Inner World are neutral. Although my relationship with Inner World might have changed since I shared their secrets, that's my fault, not theirs.'

'The Cult is the only Organization that I have a positive relationship with, which is ironic since they're working on destroying all of existence. Doesn't the antagonist usually treat their minions horribly, while the protagonist treats their people well? Why is it the other way around?'

Kyle thought about his options 'Even if could go back to the Main Dimension, it would be a stupid and suicidal thing to do. I'm almost definitely a criminal, and if the Array of Stars finds out that I'm still alive, they will also try to kill me. One of their Immortals has died, and if they find me, they will capture and investigate me. I don't think I could keep things secret from Immortals and Lords. They probably have all kinds of methods to pull my secrets out of my brain.'

'They will probably also pay the Grand Exchange to tell them about my whereabouts if they ever see me. Inner World probably wants to kill me anyway by now.'

'There are more Peak Organizations, but I don't think any of them are willing to offend three other Peak Organizations for me.'

'It's funny. My goal was to leave a large impact on the world, and I did just that. As a mere Crusher, I managed to deeply offend three Peak Organizations to the point that they want me dead.'

'Becoming a Legendary Crusher will be the easiest thing in the world, but my future in the Supreme World is cut off.'

I could try growing stronger on my own, but that's not realistic. I need some kind of backing, Guess I'm stuck with the Cult again.'

"Thank you for your help, and thank you for helping Sebastian," Kyle said.

The Red Witch just smiled, "Karmic Bonds are not green or red," she said "A Karmic Bond is often filled with both grudges and gratitude. Life is complex, and it's up to the individual to decide whether a Karmic Bond is green or red. I don't think this will be our last meeting, Mr. Freeman."

"Whether you decide to look for me when you have the power to kill me or decide to look for me to ask for help, one way or another, we will meet again."

Then, the Red Witch vanished.

Kyle took a deep breath.

At that moment, Sebastian hit Kyle's shoulder. "Lighten up, will you?" he asked with a smile "We see each other again after a long time, and you just keep sighing like a regretful old man. The Kyle I remember had a lot more energy and cheer!"

"Sorry, it's just that a lot has happened," Kyle said. "My entire world was turned upside down."

"So what?" Sebastian asked "You just gotta get back up and fight. Life is a constant struggle, and if you stop struggling, you die. Don't tell me you've never been through something like this before.'

Scenes shot through Kyle's head.

The time he fled from the Winterfire Kingdom. Back then, he felt like he had been hunted by the entire world. It felt like there was no escape.

The time he had become Overseer. He also had felt like there was no escape.

The time he had been declared a criminal. Again, no escape.

And yet, I've always escaped,' Kyle thought, 'I think Sebastian's right.'

Then.

Kyle punched his own face as Sebastian's brows rose.
