An Infused Law of Body increased one’s physical power while also giving the body properties of the Infused Law.
An Infused Law of Center increased the quality of the Energy in one’s Center while also giving it the properties of the Infused Law.
An Infused Law of Mind increased one’s thinking speed while also changing the way one’s Momentum worked.
So, what did an Infused Law of Soul do?
The Soul was the Aspect of Power that sensed the surroundings and imposed one’s will on them. This was very noticeable with Mortals. Mortals with an improved Soul could summon attacks from a distance.
An Infused Law of Soul pushed this power to the next level. The surroundings could be controlled as easily as one could control one’s body. This created an area of influence that was under the control of the user.
Based on the Laws that were infused, one could manipulate the related Energies of the surroundings.
In short, an Infused Law of Soul created a Domain.
Kyle’s Infused Soul Law included several Fragments of the Laws of Space, Time, and Gravity. This meant that Kyle could control the Space, Time, and Gravity Energies in his Domain freely.
He could expand and compress space. He could put objects into stasis or connect different spots. He could speed up and slow down time, and he could also distort it. He could increase and weaken the gravity. He could control the Specialized Gravity of different Elements, and he could also repel objects.
However, the Fragment-Fusion Law Kyle had made could also do that. What made the Infused Law of Soul different from that Law?
One thing.
It was free.
Kyle could keep using his Domain at maximum intensity for all of eternity, and he wouldn’t lose any Energy. This increased Kyle’s power significantly.
The inclusion of an Infused Soul Law fundamentally changed battles. When two Seekers with a Domain fought each other, they also tried to influence their surroundings. The more they controlled the surroundings, the greater their advantage became.
For example, a Seeker with a Fire Domain could transform the Energy in their Domain into Fire Energy and use that to cook their opponent. If they held the advantage, their opponent would keep losing Biological Energy as their body accumulated burns.
In general, Domains could be classified into three categories: Offensive Domains, Defensive Domains, and Supporting Domains.
Offensive Domains included Domains focusing on lightning or fire, for example. They would turn the surroundings into an attack.
Defensive Domains included Domains focusing on metal and earth, for example. They increased the density of their surroundings, making it harder to attack. Metaphorically, it was like punching underwater. It was simply much harder to unleash a destructive attack.
Supporting Domains included Domains focusing on light and darkness, for example. They strengthened the user or weakened the attacker, sometimes both.
Kyle’s Domain was a Supporting Domain. His Domain couldn’t even kill a Crusher by itself.
Yet, the last thing Kyle needed was even more offense. His choice of weapon, his Infused Body Law, his Infused Center Law, his Law of Black Hole, and his Law of Hammer already pushed his offensive capabilities to a ridiculous level.
He didn’t need more power behind his attacks.
He needed more ways to hit his opponent.
His Domain perfectly filled this gap.
Usually, Kyle sped up his own time while slowing down the time of his enemy, giving him a speed advantage. He compressed the space between his opponent and his hammer, indirectly increasing the speed of his attack. He increased the gravity around his hammer, pulling the enemy towards it, which indirectly increased the speed of his attack yet again.
Together with his other powers, Kyle’s Battle-Strength had reached ridiculous levels.
For now.
In a way, one could say that Kyle had filled all of his slots, while his opponents still had two or three empty slots. With time, his opponents would also fill these slots with Laws.
Infused Mind Laws became common amongst Fulfilled Sages and Spirit Lords, while Infused Soul Laws became common in the later levels of the Domain Realm. Imposing Laws also became common amongst Spirit Lords. In fact, all of these things were requirements to become an Ascendant. There were a lot of difficult things Spirit Lords needed to do to become Ascendants.
However, that was something for the future. For now, Kyle’s Battle-Strength was almost unmatched. Only an outlier like Sebastian could rival or surpass him.
Kyle watched the Demon join the other corpses on the Corpse Mountain.
Demons had exceptionally high Battle-Strengths, but they still couldn’t compare to Kyle. Killing this Demon would only have taken him around 1% of his Energy, and he could regain that in a couple of seconds.
According to him, one could create a Refined Law by including a Pure or External Complex Law in the Imposing Law. Of course, this was easier said than done. Kyle was already using his Complex Law together with his Law of Hammer. However, the difference between his usage of the two Laws and a Refined Law was akin to simultaneously throwing two individual stones and throwing one stone comprised of two stones.
The mass would be the same. The force would be the same. Yet, the effect was much stronger.
It was like taking two punches from a muscular man who weighed 60 kg versus taking one punch from a muscular man who weighed 120 kg.
‘He said I need to combine my Law of Hammer and my Law of Black Hole in a deeper way. They must truly become one to count as a Refined Law, but I just don’t know how I can actually do that.’
‘Well, he also said that creating Refined Laws was the hardest thing Spirit Lords had to do. It makes sense that I can’t figure it out after just a couple of years.’
One more Sage Demon joined the Corpse Mountain.
Kyle’s duty continued.
He killed wave after wave of Demons.
He occasionally fought a New Sage Demon.
He watched the green lines and red bursts to deepen his understanding of Karmic Luck.
He tried to fuse his Law of Black Hole and his Law of Hammer.
He kept putting more Energy into his mind to pass the Second Refinement.
‘I don’t remember the last time I was this busy.’
