Swamp Dragon returned an hour later.
Kyle looked at him, not sure about which outcome he wanted to happen.
Swamp Dragon just shook his head. "She has not experienced betrayal before. This is an unfamiliar pain to her, and her resentment is deep."
"I managed to convince her to give up the mission of vengeance she has imposed on herself, but she never wants to see us again."
Kyle's eyes widened.
"Us?" he asked.
Swamp Dragon nodded. "She feels betrayed by the fact that I was willing to forgive you. She argued at length that I was putting the world in danger by giving someone like you another chance."
Kyle grew a bit angry.
He wasn't angry that Warp Space didn't forgive him. That was to be expected.
However, he didn't like the fact that she also included Swamp Dragon in her anger.
This guy had done nothing wrong!
"That's not right," Kyle said after a sigh. "I get that she's angry with me, but I don't think it's fair to you."
"She made a choice," Swamp Dragon said, "just how I made a choice."
"She is no longer part of the team."
Kyle sighed. "Sure, it's fine. Sorry for that."
"No reason to be sorry," Swamp Dragon said. "While I would like to continue this conversation, I do not feel comfortable with our current transitory situation. I want to settle into the Array of Stars soon."
Kyle nodded as his mind pushed the feelings of future betrayal out of his mind.
He was very good at simply pushing his pain into the back of his mind and ignoring it.
As he did so, he started to feel better.
Things had always worked out.
They would just continue to work out.
For now, he was Swamp Dragon's friend, and he would soon be a member of the Array of Stars.
Any eventual painful futures would be future Kyle's problem!
"I get you!" Kyle said with a smile. "I'm going to be focusing on my Complex Law now. I don't think I need another True Battle to condense it. Just give me like 20 to 30 years, and I will be done."
Swamp Dragon nodded. "I still have around 150 years of longevity left. I can spare 50 years without any concern. While you focus on your Complex Law, I will look more into the Law of Yin-Water. The Level Three Law of Water is one of the Laws I want to comprehend in the future, and learning the Law of Yin-Water will only be beneficial."
"Sure, sounds good!" Kyle said with a thumbs-up.
Swamp Dragon nodded again before leaving the planet.
With his new Complex Law, his body was powerful enough to get past the gravitational field of the large planet.
'Alright! Time to finish my Law and become an amazing Unique Transcendent! See? I was so nervous about not being able to become a Unique Transcendent, but everything worked out in the end!'
'No reason to be worried about the future!'
Kyle dug into the underground to his old and familiar place of comprehension.
'Time for the last sprint to the finishing line!'
Then, Kyle looked at the remaining parts of the Fused Essence.
'Just a bit left. I'm about 85% of the way there. Just need to experiment a bit, and the Law will be done.'
Kyle resumed his Law Comprehension and experimented with the Essence and his Law of Body.
The hardest part when it came to Infusing an Essence into the Law of Body was between 60% and 85%.
After that, based on his past experiences with his other Infused Laws, things became much easier.
After the latest fight, Kyle's Momentum had increased yet again.
Together with the significant Momentum he had built as a Mortal, his last five fights had pushed his Momentum to a level that was practically unique in the Star Seeking.
At this moment, not even a single Transcendent had a Momentum comparable to Kyle's.
Not in this Star Seeking.
Not in all of the Star Seekings across the entire Expanse the Array of Stars owned.
In the past, there was bound to have been someone with a comparable, or maybe even more powerful, Momentum than Kyle, but at this moment, there was no one.
The Energy around Kyle gathered with incredible speed.
Kyle's past experiences with his Infused Laws gave him countless inspirations on how to proceed with his final Infusion.
Without such a powerful Momentum…
Without his past experiences…
Without the willpower the Sin Flames had given him…
Comprehending this Law would be impossible without several additional True Battles.
Yet, progress was still slow.
Getting from 85% to 90% took Kyle almost 20 years.
After all, this was a brutally difficult and powerful Complex Law.
But after he got to 90%, things became far easier.
Within just another five years, he got to 95%.
Three years later, he arrived at 99%.
Only the last push remained.
Just a little bit more.
This was another difficult step.
However, Kyle had done this three times already, and he had seen the pattern before.
Finalizing an Infused Law involving the Law of Body was always extremely dangerous.
After all, Kyle had to change his entire body at the same time.
If anything went wrong, his entire body would explode.
Luckily, his past experiences gave him enough confidence to try the condensation of his Law several times without endangering his life.
He knew what he could try and what he couldn't try.
In the end, he was sure that he knew what to do.
He just needed to try it.
This was a dangerous last step, and if he were wrong, he would die.
But he wasn't afraid.
He was confident.
He knew how it worked, and he knew what it would look like.
Kyle pushed the entire Essence into his body.
For a moment, Kyle's body shook, but then it calmed down again.
It was done!
Kyle had created his Law!
After so much effort and so many battles…
He was finally there!
As soon as he condensed it, he felt the world change.
Energy was gathering around him, pushing him into the Unique Transcendent Realm.
And at the same time, his body was also changing.
