Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 888

Left with no other choice, the team followed the Unique Sage's orders and sent in their next member, Manny.

Another grey soldier flew forward, and the Barrier Formation Array activated again.

Manny had volunteered to enter so that he could test the waters. The team didn't know how the foreign Seekers would react to an Imposing Law. It was possible that they respected Imposing Laws, but there was also a chance that they would view it as something akin to heresy to divinity or something.

Manny's opponent carried a two-handed sword, just like him.

When the battle began, Manny charged forward, while his opponent gathered Energy to launch a powerful attack.

Sure enough, an illusory two-handed sword appeared in front of the grey soldier.

Another powerful Imposing Law.

Yet, while the opponent gathered his Energy, Manny's body shone, and Kyle's eyes widened when he saw what happened next.

Four Mannys appeared, and all four of them scattered in different directions!

'Is this Manny's Imposing Law?' Kyle thought.

Manny had been pretty secretive about his Imposing Law, which was why Kyle didn't know anything about it.

The opponent's face barely moved as three more illusory swords appeared.

Based on the density of the Energy in the surroundings, the grey soldier had emptied his entire Center to conjure four swords.

The next moment, each sword targeted one of the Mannys and shot forward.

Three of the Mannys dispersed like smoke.

BOOOOM!

Manny's sword hit the illusory sword as his muscles bulged. White water surrounded his body and weapon. After a short collision, the illusory sword lost its hold on Manny's sword and slipped past Manny and his weapon.

Manny had natural Light and Water Affinities with an artificial Space Affinity. With his External Complex Law, he could conjure illusions and manipulate the matter around him. After blocking the majority of the force, Manny let the attack slip past him.

This stunt only cost him about 10% of his Energy.

After getting past the attack, Manny charged towards his opponent, who only held his sword up. It was more than clear that the grey soldier was out of Energy, but he still didn't give up.

Since the end of the fight hadn't been announced yet, Manny got another opportunity to gain more information. He flew towards his opponent and launched a purely physical attack.

The opponent blocked the attack with his sword.

BANG!

The opponent's defense collapsed like paper, and the Formation Array intervened to save the soldier's life.

The fight was over, and this time, it hadn't even really been a battle.

"I was right," Manny transmitted to the others. "I wasn't sure before, but now, I am."

"I don't think they have Complex Laws."

Kyle's brows furrowed when he heard that. 'Is that actually the case?' he thought.

He remembered the past two fights while thinking about Manny's hypothesis. Neither soldier had Infused Center Laws. Kyle would have noticed if they had. While he couldn't be sure about the first guy, Kyle was also sure that the second guy didn't have an Infused Body Law. Manny had a Level 3.5 Infused Body Law, and he had obliterated the opponent's defense with ease. Kyle had also only seen Pure Gravity Metal from the first guy, which meant he probably didn't have an External Complex Law.

'That might actually be possible,' Kyle thought. 'But then, how do they have Fulfilled and Unique Seekers? It can't be that they don't know about Complex Laws. Even if, for some reason, nobody ever got the idea to combine Laws, this world still receives a bunch of ascenders on the regular. These ascenders know what Complex Laws are.'

'So then, why? Why do none of them have Complex Laws, and why are their Imposing Laws so powerful?'

The Barrier Formation Array deactivated, and the soldier returned to his unit. Meanwhile, the Unique Sage looked at Manny with an expression that wasn't completely cold and detached.

"Is this Battle Rite your creation?" the Unique Sage asked.

"I am unfamiliar with that word," Manny answered.

"A Battle Rite is a technique that fuses several different concepts to create a single, powerful attack. You may also call them techniques, skills, or Energy attacks."

The Unique Sage glanced at Fierce Breaker. "Your companion has shown the components of a Battle Rite, but he has not shown a Battle Rite. He has shown unrefined insights into nature, which have not been turned into a true attack yet. I assume he doesn't have a Manifestation."

"You mean, an Imposing Law?" Manny asked. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Imposing Laws or Personal Laws are Manifestations, yes," the Unique Sage said. "However, they are not Battle Rites. They are just one half of a Battle Rite."

Manny smiled uncomfortably. "Then, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I have used a Manifestation, as you call it. I didn't-"
