Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 943

Kyle went back to Forward Base 198 as quickly as he could. By now, he could teleport over 60 times per second, increasing his speed of travel by quite a bit. He could now travel 1.5 million kilometers per second.

He quickly reached the Base and went to Major Sovignor.

“I've finished all of my Refinements,” Kyle transmitted.

Major Sovignor looked at Kyle for a moment. “You advanced very quickly. If I may ask, how many years do you have left?”

“A bit more than 20,000,” Kyle answered.

Major Sovignor wanted to shake his head, but he didn't want to show any watching person that he treated Kyle differently from normal Shields or Spears.

“That means you have taken no break. You've essentially experienced a Refinement during every year inside the Wisdom Fire Realm.”

“Yep, that sounds about right,” Kyle answered. “The faster I'm done, the more I can focus on my Battle-Strength.”

“Are you certain that you don't want to join Humanity directly?” he asked. “With your current power, it should not be an issue to become a Lieutenant General or a Protector. Growing stronger will be much easier.”

“I'm certain,” Kyle answered. “While I might need to spend more Merits as a Shield or Spear, I also have fewer responsibilities. That makes it much easier to focus on my Battle-Strength. If I were to join, I would be sent to different locations to supervise certain things, but right now, I can just exchange some Merits for spare time.”

“You can also exchange Merits for spare time while being a member of Humanity,” Major Sovignor answered. “At the same time, you also have access to more resources.”

“Can I ask a personal question?” Kyle asked.

“Yes?” Major Sovignor asked.

“Why do you want me to join Humanity so much?” Kyle asked. “I've declined several times by now.”

“It just seems like the most optimal way,” Major Sovignor answered. “I see your reasons, but they don't seem to hold up. The benefits you gain would outweigh the added responsibility.”

“I see,” Kyle answered. “Then, let me give you a different reason.”

“I believe that I am safer amongst the Shields and Spears. I think joining Humanity will put my life at a greater risk.”

“Why do you think so?” Major Sovignor asked, his voice a bit darker.

“I don't know Humanity, as in, the people in red. I've barely talked to them. I know I can trust the Shields and the Spears because I have fought with them many times, but I have not fought with someone wearing red. I can deal with my current position, but I don't know if I can deal with a different position.”

“Do you not trust Humanity?” Major Sovignor asked.

Kyle's brows slightly furrowed.

“Trust is not binary. Would I trust a Shield on the frontlines to help me fight a Demon, even though it would endanger their lives? Yes. Would I trust a Shield with all of my Military Merits? No. Does that mean I don't trust the Shields?”

“Without Humanity, Ayuvar wouldn't exist anymore. That's a fact. As long as there are no spies, I trust the Shields and the Spears, which are part of Humanity. I trust Humanity with some parts of my life, but not with all parts.”

The atmosphere became more oppressive as Major Sovignor looked at Kyle.

“What you're saying sounds dangerous.”

“I have not said anything treasonous,” Kyle answered. “Humanity should stay in charge. Humanity is doing a great job. I want them to keep doing what they've been doing up to now. Humanity, as a whole, is trustworthy. I do not mistrust Humanity as an entity. I can entrust my life to Humanity.”
