Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 979

979 /988

As everyone saw the fleshy ball, a mixed feeling of relief and nervousness washed over everybody. As far as they knew, Humanity had never managed to find one of these kinds of spies. They had uncovered a danger they had never known existed.

The people felt relief because this proved that they were on Humanity's side. After all, if they were working for the Demons, they would have never unveiled the existence of these kinds of spies.

Yet, they also felt anxiety. After all, the Demons had lost a huge weapon. This would make them more careful and nervous, which could have devastating consequences. The Demons might decide to increase the pressure on the front lines as a warning.

In a way, one could say the equilibrium between the two sides had been disturbed.

Overlord Riverly looked at the fleshy ball in her hands with narrowed eyes. The fleshy ball was a New Ascendant Demon, but it basically didn't have any combat potential. Due to the unique way in which Overlord Sandpike's human body had been created, the Demon couldn't just make a new one.

This was neither an arm nor an Avatar. This was something completely different.

People couldn't just grow new Centers, minds, or Souls, and Demons couldn't just grow new Beast Cores. Most likely, this Demon had the power to create a new body, but the body wouldn't be nearly as powerful as the old one. At most, it could create a Mortal body, which would then need to advance through all of the Realms again. Something like that couldn't be achieved within just a couple of years.

'Luckily, she knows quite a bit about Karmic Luck,' Kyle thought. 'I already know a lot about Karmic Luck, but she seems to know even more. She even managed to track the Demon's original body!'

Kyle remembered how Overlord Riverly had attacked the body. Back then, Kyle had seen a blue pulse on the Karmic Line. This was similar to the time the Red Witch had killed the Countess. However, it was only similar, not identical. Based on what Kyle could see, Overlord Riverly didn't know the actual Law of Karmic Causality. She only knew part of it.

According to Kyle's estimates, Overlord Riverly couldn't launch an attack via a Karmic Line, but she could send a signal. The signal had traveled through the Karmic Line, and since Overlord Riverly could sense her own attack, she could feel where her attack went, allowing her to track the Demon.

'I could have maybe done something similar, but I'm not sure,' Kyle thought. 'I can probably interact with this kind of Karmic Line to some degree, but I've never really tried it.'

A moment later, Overlord Riverly looked at the present people.

She still had no idea what had actually happened. Overlord Stygian, Overlord Cloudhorn, and several Spirit Lords had died. She could guess why Overlord Cloudhorn was dead, but she didn't know why or how any of the others had died.

"Overlord Sunlight," Overlord Riverly transmitted. "I do not have much time. I need to return to the front lines. I need a succinct summary of the investigation."

"Of course," Overlord Sunlight answered before she summarized the past events and the results of the investigation.

The things Overlord Riverly heard made her worried. It was very unnatural for such a large group to be this united. Even more, it seemed like the group had prioritized itself over Humanity, which was not a good thing.

Humanity required unity, and this little group could cause significant disturbances. Was this some kind of revolution? Were they intending to separate from Humanity?

Overlord Riverly looked at Manny. Apparently, he was the ringleader of this group.

Yet, at the same time, she also looked at Kyle.

She knew a lot about Karmic Luck, and Kyle couldn't keep his true aura hidden from her.

What she saw seemed impossible. The intensity of Kyle's aura was far beyond anything that could be considered reasonable. It was almost like he was a completely different existence.

Today's events had been history-defining. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Even though Overlord Riverly didn't know how everything had started, there was no way that Kyle's presence was a mere coincidence.
