Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 995

995 /1012

Kyle kept traveling to the east. During his travels, he snagged some Comprehension Fruits here and there, collecting a bunch of them. These Comprehension Fruits could not only be used to gain a temporary Affinity. They could also be used as a dense source of Energy. It was just that using Comprehension Fruits as an Energy Source was a huge waste. It was like smelting down gold to make disposable toothpicks.

However, the Comprehension Fruits might also come in handy when Kyle tried to comprehend the Laws of the other Elements. Comprehending the Level Four and Level Five Laws of the other Elements was part of his plan anyway, and these Comprehension Fruits would make it easier.

At some point, Kyle saw more Transcending Demons. By now, there were barely any Mortal Demons left.

That was also when Kyle decided to take a bit of a risk. After all, they needed to gather more information. For now, none of the really powerful Demons had paid attention to Kyle, but the further east he traveled, the more powerful the Demons became. Eventually, there would be a Demon that would try to contact Kyle.

It was better to understand how the Demons worked before that happened.

When Kyle saw a Transcending Demon traveling towards the west, he used a concept transmission. The concept transmission contained a mix of confusion and dominance. In essence, Kyle wanted to know what the Demon was doing here.

The Demon sent a concept transmission as an answer, and Kyle readied himself. Accepting concept transmissions was dangerous since they might influence his way of thinking.

The concept Kyle received was a mix of fear, urgency, and conviction. The Demon knew that it was in danger, but even if Kyle attacked it, it would not stop doing what it was doing. It NEEDED to do this, and nothing would stop it from doing what it was going to do later.

What was it setting out to do?

Birth a new Demon.

Kyle focused and took a deep breath inside the Demon Car. He didn't send an answer and just watched as the Demon went past him.

'Luckily, I've already fully refined my mind,' Kyle thought. "The power of its conviction was surprisingly high, even though it's only a Transcending Demon. I guess that's what happens when you don't have a rational self and just do everything your instincts tell you to do. Your heart and mind are one, and every action becomes filled with determination, purpose, and conviction.'

'It's not a danger yet, but I've also only talked to a Transcending Demon. If I talk to a Crusher or Sage Demon, it would be much harder to retain rationality.'

The concept transmissions didn't only contain concepts but also the associated emotions. If an angry person transmitted the source of their anger to someone else, and if that other person accepted, they would feel the full weight of the anger. If their minds were equally strong, the second person would feel the same intensity of anger. If there were an imbalance, the second person would feel either a bit of anger or so much anger that they might never recover.

That was another reason why accepting concept transmissions was dangerous.

'At least, I've learned something. A deep instinct is telling them to birth their offspring in the west. I mean, I've already expected as much, but this confirms it.'

Eventually, Kyle found a Transcending Demon that was about to consume a Comprehension Fruit, and he took the chance to send another concept transmission. He wanted to know what this weak Demon was trying to do in his territory.

Kyle really wanted to know why these Demons ate the Comprehension Fruits. It seemingly made no sense. First of all, this Demon did not seem weaker than the average Demons in the surroundings. In fact, it seemed pretty strong. Since consuming a Comprehension Fruit basically equated to committing suicide, the Demon's conduct seemingly made no sense. After all, it was doing well for itself.

Another interesting thing was that the Demon had a Lightning Affinity, and the Comprehension Fruit it was going to consume was for the Element of Lightning. There was no reason to consume it. It already had a Lightning Affinity.

The Demon looked at the Demon Car before sending a concept transmission.

Kyle had expected a couple of emotions and concepts, but he hadn't expected these. The concept in the concept transmission could be described with two words.
