Strongest Hammer God - Chapter 495 Hunters

“So, how do you plan on creating your Law of the Meteor?” Sebastian asked.

Kyle shrugged. “No idea, really. Guess I just have to combine different aspects of the Laws, which will be a lot of trial and error. I’ll probably just create something, test it out in combat, and go back to refining it.”

“Creating techniques must suck,” Sebastian said with a laugh. “Spells are easy. It’s all just theory with just a few tests. By the way, what do you even plan to fight? The beasts in the Grand Ocean?”

“What else?” Kyle asked. “They seem just perfect. Remember what the Duchess of Twilight said? I should have enough opponents in there.”

Sebastian nodded. “Still weird that the beasts get an additional Realm.”

Naturally, Kyle and Sebastian had asked the Duchess of Twilight a bit more about the beasts.

For example, how was it possible that a True Transcendent would immediately ascend after a breakthrough, while the beasts just stayed?

Were they not allowed to advance?

Her answer was as logical as it was weird.

Beasts were ruled by their instincts.

With time, their instincts would lead them to the Law that was the most logical for them to learn.

However, that needed time, and comprehending Laws was very different for them.

A Monster could only advance when it understood a Fragment.

Yes, a Fragment, not a Law.

How did these beasts even comprehend Fragments? After all, they were not the most intelligent beings.

The overwhelming majority of beasts advanced by understanding a Fragment related to biological life.

For example, the Colossus had advanced by comprehending the Fragment of Body Size.

Just like the Fragment of Metal Expansion, the Fragment of Body Size allowed the Colossus to retain its density of power in relation to its size after growing to humongous sizes.

Usually, when someone expanded their body, their density of power only remained the same up to a certain level.

For example, Kyle could grow to a size of a hundred meters without the density of his power weakening.

Technically, Kyle could expand his body even more, but his power would drop drastically.

If Kyle grew to a size of 200 meters, his physical strength would drop by eight times!

If he had access to the Fragment of Body Size, he could grow to a size of a kilometer without losing power. His destructive potential and defensive capabilities would skyrocket, while his speed would remain the same.

When a Monster comprehended a Fragment and advanced, it would turn into a Transcending Beast.

Apparently, the title of Nature God only existed in this world.

A title related to the word God was something reserved for the truly powerful beings in the different worlds.

Since humans advanced by comprehending a Full Level One Law, their powers drastically increased when they became True Transcendents.

A freshly advanced True Transcendent could kill all the Nobodies existing in this world with ease, and they could also immediately kill the strongest beast in the Grand Ocean.

A Transcending Beast was between the levels of power that a Nobody and a True Transcendent could reach.

The biggest difference was that Transcending Beasts could still advance, while Nobodies couldn’t.

A new Transcending Beast was about as powerful as a new Nobody.

The World Wyrm, for example, was a new Transcending Beast.

It was about as powerful as Silvester’s son and weaker than Silvester himself.

These were called level one Transcending Beasts.

Level two Transcending Beasts comprehended a second Fragment of the Body, increasing their power further.

The Colossus was such an example. After it advanced with the Fragment of Body Size, it also comprehended the Fragment of Metabolism.

The Fragment of Metabolism allowed the Colossus to double the speed of its metabolism without damaging its body. This essentially just doubled the amount of Ether its body could use, doubling its power.

With that Fragment, it decided to grow even bigger.

The Duchess of Twilight also said that she was quite certain that the Colossus was working on the Fragment of Body Efficiency right now. This Fragment would allow the Colossus to halve the Ether its body was using, which would allow it to use double the Ether for its metabolism again, which would allow it to grow even bigger.

There was a very clear direction the Colossus was going towards.

With the Fragment of Organs, it could theoretically grow even bigger. The Fragment of Organs rapidly increased one’s regeneration. So, if the Colossus grew to a size its body couldn’t handle, the Fragment of Organs could heal the body quicker than it was breaking down.

Transcending Beasts went all the way up to level five, which meant they had comprehended five Fragments.

The Law of the Body had ten Fragments in total, and it was possible to condense the Law with five of the ten Fragments.

For beasts, it didn’t matter how many Fragments they had comprehended before condensing the Law as long as they had at least five.

Their instincts were much sharper, and when they advanced, the world simply gave them the knowledge of the remaining five Fragments.

The Law of the Body was more complex than the Pure Level One Law of any Element.

After Transcending Beasts advanced again, they became Hunters, which was an ironic but very fitting name.

Hunters were on the level of True Transcendents, but only when looking at their Realm.

In reality…

A True Transcendent wouldn’t even be able to defend against a Hunter.

The Law of the Body was probably the most powerful Pure Level One Law in existence.

The power of a new Hunter was equivalent to the power of a Standard Transcendent who had a Dual Affinity and knew the two Full Level One Laws of their Dual Affinities.

Alternatively, a new Hunter was as powerful as a Standard Transcendent who knew the Pure Level One Law of their Element and two or more Fragments of their respective Yin-Element.

When Hunters advanced, they left their territories to search for other beasts and humans they could consume.

That was why they were called Hunters.
