Strongest Hammer God

Fierce Breaker swung his hammer without care. From time to time, he started the next Compression, but eventually, he hit another brick wall.

'Right, I need to kill three Major Crushers or Peak Crusher beasts for the next advancement,' he remembered. 'Shouldn't be too difficult.'

He felt a bit of annoyance when he realized that he had to kill a couple of beasts. He just wanted to swing his hammer more. Why did he have to focus on so many things all of the time?

'Wait! This is not how you usually think!' Fierce Breaker shouted at himself in his mind as his eyes narrowed. 'Yes, you're working on your power, but strengthening the hammer takes a higher priority. You shouldn't feel annoyed that you're strengthening it.'

Fierce Breaker took a deep breath with closed eyes. 'This isn't you. You have to remain yourself. The more relaxed you get, the more Kyle will influence you. You are not working together. It's you against him, not you with him.'

'Only one of you two can survive, and you have to remember that!'

Fierce Breaker grabbed the hammer and threw it at a Peak Crusher beast. Just before the hammer hit, Fierce Breaker excited the Energy inside it.

BOOOOOM!

A violent elemental storm came out of the hammer, which turned the beast into ash. Fierce Breaker had to be careful that he didn't kill the beasts himself. After all, it had to be the hammer that killed the beasts.

'This seems to work. Let's continue.'

Fierce Breaker killed another two beasts and fed the Beast Cores to the hammer. Moments later, another small storm of Energy occurred, signaling that the hammer had gone through another advancement.

The hammer became an Advanced Crusher, and Fierce Breaker started the next advancement.

While the advancement was going on, Fierce Breaker kept swinging the hammer.

Even though the Compressions only needed a century each, Fierce Breaker was too enthralled with swinging the hammer, which was why he wasted a couple of centuries. Luckily, Crushers could already live for several millennia.

The hammer became a Fulfilled Crusher and Unique Crusher without issues, but then, Fierce Breaker found another issue.

How was he supposed to turn it into a Legendary Crusher? It needed to create some kind of impact, but didn't the hammer already have a huge impact? Several Spirit Lords and even the Overseer were fully focused on it. Their lives essentially revolved around it.

Fierce Breaker closed his eyes and tried to find some kind of guidance as to what the hammer needed to advance. Sadly, he couldn't feel anything. After all, he wasn't the hammer. How was he supposed to know what someone else needed to advance?

'Fate must take its course,' Fierce Breaker thought. 'I can't help the hammer since my power is far beyond it. The hammer must take fate into its own hands.'

'Hands, hah! A hammer with hands,' Fierce Breaker thought as he snorted a quick smile, but moments later, a horrified expression appeared on his face.

'What was that?!' he thought in shock. 'Am I usually like this? I don't remember the last time I found such a stupid and childish thought amusing.'

Fierce Breaker gritted his teeth. 'I've been careless! I can't keep swinging the hammer this freely!'

Fierce Breaker contacted Swamp Dragon, who took the hammer with him. Swamp Dragon would deal with its advancement, and Fierce Breaker would get a break from it.

After leaving, Swamp Dragon's Energy entered the hammer, and even he was a bit surprised by what he felt. The Energy inside the hammer was releasing intense fluctuations that influenced the surroundings.

'The Elemental Energies are flowing freely through it,' Swamp Dragon thought. 'The mental fluctuations are subtle yet intense. Continuous exposure might change someone's personality drastically.'

Swamp Dragon's eyes narrowed. 'I knew that this would happen, but I hadn't expected the fluctuations to be this intense.'

'But that's a good thing.'

After finding an isolated location, Swamp Dragon dug into the ground and created a deep dungeon out of Spacetime Metals. When he was done, he created countless Formation Arrays inside the dungeon.

'Fate must take its course,' he thought as he placed the hammer and several resources in the dungeon.

Then, he left.

Just a couple of years later, someone found the "ruins". They entered, and they were quickly greeted by a message.

"Hahaha! I don't know if you're blessed with luck or cursed by it! You have entered the Calamity Meteor Ancestor's crypt! Escape is impossible! The only way to leave is to pass all of my trials!"

The person who had entered fell into a mix of panic and excitement.

This was just what they needed! They had been chased by the Myriad Beast Fathers for decades! If they could advance a level or two, they could take their revenge!

The trial taker was a Major Crusher, and the reason why they were hunted was precisely the fact that they were a Major Crusher. The group searching for them consisted of three people who were Major Crushers themselves. They wanted to become Advanced Crushers, and the trial taker had just recently left their Organization, which meant they didn't have a backer.

The trial taker looked forward with red eyes. Her light-blue hair started to float around her as she readied her External Complex Law.

After a while, she reached the first trial. The trial asked her to demonstrate the power of a Complex Level Three Law. Luckily, she had one.

The second trial asked her to set up a specific Formation Array within a century. Naturally, the trial included the resources and the blueprint.

When she saw the second trial, she snorted. She had dabbled in Formation Arrays for a while, trying to make a name for herself with them. The reason why she had left the Organization was also related to her chosen profession. She wanted more resources to experiment with, but the Organization said that they wouldn't waste resources on Formation Arrays. Power was supreme, and Formation Arrays were seen as something external.

She easily completed the second trial, and finally, she reached the last trial.

She had to kill a Peak Crusher Golem.

'If this were a Peak Crusher beast, I would be in a lot of trouble,' she thought. 'Luckily, this is only a construct that can't use any Laws.'

She engaged in battle with the Golem, but the fight didn't go as expected.

'Why is it so hard?!' she thought in panic as she avoided yet another hammer strike.

Luckily, the Golem also wasn't very fast, which meant that she also wasn't in any danger of dying.

Yet, she also couldn't win.

Her Energy was recovering faster than it was depleting, but she also couldn't destroy the Golem. This turned the fight into a stalemate.

Days passed, and eventually, the door behind her opened.

When she looked back, her eyes widened in horror.

"So, you were here, Vermillion Bride," one of the three people entering the room commented smugly.

'No!'

'The Myriad Beast Fathers!'

'Why are they here?!'
