Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 296

"Do you remember the fourth trial of my inheritance?" Theodor asked.

"The one with all the math and the fire?" Kyle asked.

"Yes," Theodor confirmed. "This is how you obtain Fragments. The only difference is that getting an actual Fragment is much more difficult than understanding this bit of artificial fire I placed."

"Okay," Kyle said, "you told me how to get them, but I still don't know what they are."

"I was getting to that," Theodor said with a snort.

Kyle waited quietly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"There are rules that dictate how the world works. Why is fire hot? Why does wind move? Why are you being pulled downwards? Why does time move forward?" Theodor said.

"Physical laws," Kyle said. "Stuff about Newton or something like that."

"Newton?" Theodor asked with annoyance.

"Forget it. Not important," Kyle answered.

Theodor snorted. "In theory, everything in existence can be broken down into Ether."

'Like energy, I guess,' Kyle thought, remembering some random videos he watched.

"All of these rules work on the basis of Ether. The Ether in everything dictates why things are as they are."

"You know Air Current. It makes your weapon faster. Why does it make your weapon faster?" Theodor asked.

"It adds the air-resistance to the speed of my hammer," Kyle said.

"How?" Theodor asked.

"It's because the Wind Ether absorbs the wind resistance and moves it back."

"How does it do that?" Theodor asked.

Kyle furrowed his brows.

He could still answer the question, but it required quite a lengthy explanation.

Yet, he entertained Theodor's line of questioning and answered him.

"And why would this specific movement of Ether affect the air in such a way?" Theodor asked.

"Eeeehhh," Kyle droned.

Then, he shrugged. "I dunno."

"Wind Dash is a more advanced version of Air Current, correct?" Theodor asked.

"Not sure, actually," Kyle said. "They work differently."

"Why do they work differently?" Theodor asked.

"How am I supposed to know that? I didn't invent them," Kyle answered.

"If you perfectly knew how Air Current and Wind Dash worked, would you be able to improve them?" Theodor asked.

"Probably," Kyle said with a shrug.

"Why?" Theodor asked back.

"Because I would know more, and I could experiment," Kyle said.

"Exactly," Theodor answered. "Now, if you knew perfectly how every movement of Wind Ether worked and how it interacted with the world, wouldn't you be able to make a vastly better technique?"

Kyle nodded.

"That's a Law," Theodor said.

"Law?" Kyle asked in confusion.

"You have power over Neutral Ether," Theodor explained. "Neutral Ether can turn into every kind of Ether. It is the basis of existence. If you know how to make Wind Ether, you can make Wind Ether. If you know how to make Time Ether, you can make Time Ether."
