Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 884

Seekers could kill themselves with a mere thought. As long as they transformed the Energy in their head into an attack, their heads would explode.

Essentially, Seekers always had a proverbial loaded gun in their pockets.

One small moment of weakness or despair was enough. Even if it only held for a single second, and even if the Seeker recovered after that second, it wouldn't matter. The trigger was already pulled.

For regular Seekers, the Wisdom Fire Realm was not very different from all the Realms before it. These Seekers only aimed to reach the next Realm. They didn't need to be Fulfilled or Unique. They might try to become Fulfilled, but they very quickly gave up after realizing how painful Sin Flames were. Then, they would just become Spirit Lords.

Yet, for geniuses, the Wisdom Fire Realm was a wake-up call.

These geniuses had managed to become Fulfilled or Unique Seekers in almost every Realm. They were used to being successful, and they would also aim to become Fulfilled Sages.

While the total rate of death for the Wisdom Fire Realm wasn't really different from other Realms, the rate of death for geniuses was extremely high.

Becoming Fulfilled or Unique required a lot of dedication and talent, but none of that mattered in the Wisdom Fire Realm. The things they had relied on to become Fulfilled or Unique in the past were no longer important.

Naturally, talented Seekers often also had a lot of willpower, but this increased willpower, ironically, was the reason why so many of them died. They easily overcommitted, which led to a moment of weakness that ended their lives.

The talented Seekers who survived would also realize that something had fundamentally changed. They might have been talented in the lower Realms, but now, they had entered the big leagues. Becoming Fulfilled wasn't "easy" anymore.

They would realize that they were slowly becoming average.

The majority of the few Seekers, who managed to become Fulfilled Sages, didn't even attempt to become Unique Sages. Becoming Fulfilled was already far too difficult, and the Sixth Refinement simply appeared far too imposing.

6,000 years.

More painful than Sin Flames.

15% of their longevity... spent in unending agony, not being able to do anything else.

It was far smarter to focus on comprehending Laws or amassing resources.

As for becoming a Legendary Sage...

Only former Legendary Sages and Peak Organizations knew how long the Seventh Refinement took.

Kyle also knew.

Some smart Unique Sages still tried to attempt the Seventh Refinement. After all, what if it didn't take that long? What if it only tested someone's courage and commitment? What if it only took a couple of years?

They would be in for a rude awakening.

10,000 years.

It took 10,000 years.

As Kyle thought about the Wisdom Fire Realm, he could only sigh. 'It's the worst Realm for a reason. I really don't look forward to spending so much time in agony. Pretty sure I can become a Major Sage without any issues. I can probably keep living normally during my Fifth Refinement, but I'm not sure about the Sixth and Seventh Refinements.'

'Most likely, I can only lie down and writhe in agony.'

Kyle shook his head. 'I shouldn't worry about that for now. There are more pressing matters. For example, will I even survive my arrival in the Primary World?'

Kyle had an issue.

His True Sin Aura.

If anyone killed someone who had a True Sin Aura, they would receive a substantial reward of Karmic Luck. The most important part...

Realm didn't matter.

It was possible that a random Spirit Lord or Ascendant would kill him, just to gain the reward.

Swamp Dragon and Sebastian also had True Sin Auras, but not for much longer. Swamp Dragon had only done "good deeds" until he condensed a True Sin Aura. After all, he couldn't do any more "good deeds" after he couldn't see any other people anymore. According to Manny, their secretive Organization would simply donate a bunch of Energy Stones to the needy in Swamp Dragon's name, getting rid of his True Sin Aura.

Something similar was true for Sebastian. He could just use his Contribution Points to get the privilege of executing failed Adepts of the Cult. The failed Adepts had True Sin Auras, and by killing them, Sebastian would get a good chunk of Karmic Luck.

Sadly, since he had been involved in the assassination of the Chief Overseer and the Countess, getting rid of his True Sin Aura ate up almost all of his Contribution Points.

Kyle didn't have a sponsor, nor did he have enough Contribution Points. He also held more blame for the two deaths.

The biggest part of the blame obviously belonged to the Red Witch.

However, the Red Witch was here because of Sebastian and Kyle, which was why Sebastian held part of the blame.
