Chapter 877: Last Light
Strongest Hammer God

Swamp Dragon had a True Sin Aura.

Nobody thought that Swamp Dragon, of all people, would condense a True Sin Aura.

He had been well on his way to condensing a True Hero Aura. He had put so much work into improving his Karmic Luck, and now... all his Karmic Luck was gone.

Sebastian walked to the side, not looking at Swamp Dragon. Kyle could tell something between the two of them was wrong, but he was preoccupied with Swamp Dragon's True Sin Aura.

Swamp Dragon looked at everyone for a moment before focusing on Kyle. "I've taken your advice, Bang," he said neutrally.

"I didn't mean for this to happen," Kyle answered with an uncomfortable expression.

"I don't blame you," Swamp Dragon said. "This is what I chose. I realized that I have focused on my Karmic Luck too much. It distracted me from my purpose and conviction."

"I didn't expect you to accept," Kyle said after a bit of silence.

"I also didn't expect to accept," Swamp Dragon answered. "But things change."

"What changed?" Kyle asked.

"Nothing and a lot," Swamp Dragon answered. "My thoughts have not changed. The Cult is the enemy, and I will do everything in my power to stop them."

"Then, why are you here?" Sebastian asked from the side in an annoyed voice. "Everyone is here now. You said you would tell us."

Swamp Dragon didn't look at Sebastian. It seemed like these two weren't the biggest fans of each other.

Swamp Dragon crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "You all want to use the unknown world as a safe haven and ascend back to the Supreme World, is that correct?"

"That's the plan, yes," Star Genesis said, not looking at Swamp Dragon.

In fact, Star Genesis had been convinced that Swamp Dragon wouldn't come, and unless Swamp Dragon gave an explanation, she still wouldn't believe it. In her mind, there was a bigger chance that Swamp Dragon used himself as some form of bait to lead the Array of Stars to their base, fully intending to die while doing the right thing. She admired Swamp Dragon for his conviction, but she also didn't want to die to him.

"The payment for this trip is to tell the Cult of Final Fate about the world, correct?" Swamp Dragon asked.

"Yes, I already told you," Sebastian commented with annoyance. "Can you finally get to the point?"

Swamp Dragon didn't seem annoyed or disturbed by Sebastian's hostile attitude.

Swamp Dragon opened his eyes and looked at Kyle. "I will give you something you haven't given me."

"Honesty."

The next moment, Swamp Dragon summoned an object. It was a small emblem from the Array of Stars.

When Swamp Dragon summoned it, he also activated his Momentum, making it impossible for everyone to teleport. The world around everyone seemingly stopped moving, but at the same time, everything seemed to jitter in place.

As for the object, everyone recognized it.

"You're insane!" Sebastian shouted, but he didn't dare to move or do anything.

The others looked at Swamp Dragon in terror, except for Manny.

They knew, right now...

Their lives were no longer in their hands.

The object Swamp Dragon had summoned was something called a Last Light. A Last Light was an object containing the Complex Law of a powerful Seeker. They were hard and costly to produce, and barely anyone offered them.

If Swamp Dragon crushed this object, the powerful Complex Law would be freed, and it would use the user's existence as an Energy Source to launch one attack.

In short, Swamp Dragon would die to unleash an attack with the insights of a Level Seven, Eight, Nine, or even Ten Complex Law.

Everyone on this Planet would die.

"I can not trust you, Bang," Swamp Dragon said neutrally. He didn't even seem nervous or afraid. "I can't trust any of your words. I trust the others, but the source of their trust is you. If you have lied to them, they will unwittingly help the Cult."

"Is this it?" Kyle asked with narrowed eyes. "Are you just going to kill everyone?"

"That depends entirely on everyone's compliance," Swamp Dragon said. "I will not help the Cult, but I also can't help anyone else anymore. I have a True Sin Aura. The world has declared me an irredeemable sinner, even though I have done nothing but good."

"So what?" Sebastian asked with a snort. "Are you going to blow yourself up because the world is unfair? You hate the world, but you also hate the Cult. Everything's horrible. Might as well go out in a blaze of glory. Is that it?"

Swamp Dragon ignored Sebastian and kept looking at Kyle. "I am willing to come to the unknown world with you, but I'm done trusting you. I need assurance."

"I need an oath, and I don't want a simple one on your Karmic Luck. I want you to swear on your life and everything that's important to you."

Kyle took a deep breath as he felt a pit forming in his stomach.

Back then, he had foolishly offered to swear an oath out of impulse, but that would make it impossible to stay friends. There would be a tremendous power imbalance. This would not be a friendship.

The fact that Swamp Dragon demanded an oath meant that there was no friendship left between them.

It was unsalvageable.

Kyle looked at the Last Light in Swamp Dragon's hand. In a way, this represented their new dynamic.

'I shouldn't have invited him,' Kyle thought. 'But he also deserves a choice. Yet, can giving the person who hates you the most a weapon be considered a choice?'

Kyle glared at Swamp Dragon with hatred. He didn't want to make an oath, but he didn't have a choice. It was not just his life that was in danger.

"What oath?" Kyle asked coldly.

"First, I want you to swear that everything in your letter was honest. I want you to swear that there was no deceit in this letter," Swamp Dragon said.

"I need to read it again," Kyle said.

Swamp Dragon summoned the letter, and Kyle read through it.

"I left some parts out, but it can't be considered deceptive," Kyle said. "I couldn't put too much information into the letter since it might implicate others. I am willing to share more information with you now and change my oath accordingly."

Swamp Dragon nodded, and Kyle gave some more background information. He said what he thought of the Cult, why he was here, and why he had invited everyone.

"Swear that you have not been deceptive," Swamp Dragon stated coldly.

By now, the others looked at Swamp Dragon with narrowed eyes. Even Star Genesis felt a deep sense of betrayal.

Swamp Dragon had gone too far.

"I swear on my life that I have not tried to deceive you in any way. Not with the letter and not with my words today," Kyle said.

As soon as Kyle spoke the oath, he felt like something important had broken.

All the trust was gone.

All the emotion was gone.

He just hated Swamp Dragon.

"Next..." Swamp Dragon said.

      SD has not changed a single bit in his personality instead of agreeing that the cosmos favours the powerful and not the right, he was always against the cult and he even gave kyle the benefit of the doubt after he deceived him so many times and joined the literal enemy of the world, i dont understand how people think SD and warp space are the crazy ones instead of star genesis and manny and fierce breaker

      He is holding everyone to his own extreme standards and falling short in any way makes you an enemy. And the 'betrayal' on Kyle's part, what else was he supposed to do? Kill himself? Swamp Dragon is tweaking

        EXTREME STANDARDS???? NOT FOLLOWING THE ORGANISATION THAT WANTS TO END THE WHOLE WORLD IS AN EXTREME STANDARDS??????? OBVIOUSLY THAT MAKES THEM THE ENEMY ARE YOU STUPID, and also you said what else was he supposed to do? Idk what u mean by that like in what situation cause there have been many but he chose the cult in a safe position where his life was not in any danger so you can't use the future dealings to justify that

          What has Kyle done for the Cult that he wouldn't have if he was free? And, man, CAPSing at me? Count to 10 or something

          Not one of them is really a member of the organization, not counting Sebastian. That was like the whole point that they came because Kyle promised they wouldn't need to contribute

            What's the alternative to the Cult btw? Array of Stars? The guys who let their high ranking member Red Witch build a magical Auschwitz and force others to commit genocides in her name? The higher powers of this Cosmos are all pretty bad, being a 'collaborator' at least saved Kyle and gave him the opportunity to grow. Swamp on the other hand just wants to hide in some world and play sims with the inhabitants until one of the gods wins

            What are you even talking about this is not about justifiying kyle's actions it's about how he broke the trust of SD so many times and is literally a part of the death squad and even though he has done nothing different that's because he hasn't had the chance did you not read what a parasite does?? He hides until he has enough power and and influence to actually contribute to the cult

                ???? bro what are you even saying first of all SD doesnt know shit about this whole parasite bullshit all he thinks is that his best friend betrayed him to go to the cult which wants to destroy the whole world while saying that he's just doing it for fair reasons which honestly would sound like bullshit to me if i was SD cause after a guy has lied to me about everything and then tells me that he has joined a terrorist organisation but doesnt wanna do terrorist shit i would also not trust him at all idk about you and we are not talking about if he did something or not, he agreed to do it, and he went through the conundrum of betraying his friends and the AoS who btw the only reason he hated the organisation was cause of the bloody witch but we found out that she did that so that he would join the cult so his hatred for them was unfounded from the start and we are not taking the things they did after he made his decision to justify his actions

                  he made him swear about the things he said in his letter which were just that they would not be harming anyone by going into this world or helping the final fate, the oath never told him about any reasons or anything honestly neither does SD care anymore because he thinks less of kyle than an insect and wants nothing to do with him except use him to reach his goal which is valid

                  SUBMIT???????? he is not taking them as slaves the only thing he is doing is making sure that they are not being decieved by kyle to help the cult and that kyle doesnt get in his way of making a just world, in on way shape or form has he even told them to swear anything or do anything different he only made kyle swear an oath to tell the truth and not get in his way

                  again when did i say that what he did was wrong but you are not seeing this from SD pov, i guess he would know what a parasite is but he doesnt know that kyle changed his job and didnt do anything for the cult, he doesnt know if kyle is a crazy person who murders millions on a whim, he doesnt know if kyle is a person who is spreading death to the cosmos and you know why he doesnt? cause SD gave kyle the benefit of the doubt and kyle betrayed his trust multiple times idk how many times i need to emphasis this but SD reaction here is completely justified and his actions are totally the right thing to do, he cant beat the capitalistic pigs or the crazy world enders so instead of wants to create his own paradise away from both of them idk what you think is so wrong with that?

                  "Swamp dragon wants to hide and play house instead of becoming powerful enough to dictate how the peak organizations treat people" congratulations now you're a hypocrite, i hate people like you who change their statement in a debate when they are wrong and dont even acknoledge what they said before. and also SD mentality has always been the greater good and he does not care what he has to do to achieve him, you know what sure i can agree with you saying that he is crazy but honestlythat crazy is valid after all the shit he has been through and obviously threatning to blow up everyone including yourself in a room with 2 final fate members and 3 people who are willing to support them to increase their power to reach your goal of a just world isnt really that crazy when you know of SD personality

                  How are those statements mutually exclusive? And you hate people like me? How am I gonna recover from this revelation? You seem full of hate in general anyway

                  There is really nothing to say about the point, you are not interested in hearing any of it either way. And the argument was fun for a while but it's become pretty repetitive at this point, gg

                  the quote that you sent proved my point rather than yours if you wanna reread our comments and sure i dont remember something that happened 400 chapters ago how is that related to my reading comprehension, implying that my reading comprehension is bad based off wrong examples is an insult to both me and yourself honestly cause it just makes you seem as more of an asshole

    The overseer position on that primary world is going to become important later, I doubt the author is going to avoid making our cast go through shit because of this. Hopefully it isn't something stupid like needing to be the overseer to ascend or something else that will force star genesis or someone else to fight swamp dragon for the position. There is no way this will not be a problem later.

      Swamp Dragon 100% will turn on Kyle's side during the arc, doubt Warma will do something sketchy with the overseer position... middle
