Eventually, Kyle reached a spot where Gravity Elementals represented the weak Elementals and Spacetime Elementals represented the strong Elementals. This meant, in the Main Dimension, Kyle had reached the place where Level Five Law Wells existed.
Kyle sent three bolts of Minor Lightning to Sebastian's Elemental, which meant that it should just wait.
Kyle's perception enpassed his surroundings. 'I don't see any Elemental Demons around this area. I don't think the Demons are paying any close attention to this place. The Elemental Dimension works like a machine. As long as it keeps working, they don't have to look at it.'
'My targets are the Spacetime Elementals, which currently support the Law Wells. All of them are Peak Sage Elementals, occupied with slowly condensing strands of Major Elemental Energies.'
'My actions in the Elemental Dimension have effects on the Main Dimension, which means I have to be careful that I don't break anything.'
Kyle looked around. 'Luckily, the machine works pretty well. As long as I don't cause too many issues, things won't break.'
At that moment, a Gravity Lightning Elemental flew towards Kyle. It had sensed Kyle's presence, and its basic instincts told it to consume the Elemental.
Kyle's Elemental swung its hammer.
BANG!
The Lightning Elemental was dispersed, turning into a dense cloud of Gravity Lightning. A wave of Space Energy and Time Energy washed over the Gravity Lightning Energy, transforming a small part of it into Spacetime Lightning Energy.
Kyle's Elemental enveloped the Lightning Energy, and for just a moment, Kyle experienced what it felt like to consume Spacetime Lightning. It was a small and short-lived feeling of clarity and familiarity. However, it also felt alien. The concept of lightning felt familiar to him, but the Spacetime Lightning also felt new and novel. It was like tasting a new dish that was made with familiar ingredients.
A tiny bit of the Spacetime Lightning joined the Elemental's position, and moments later, Kyle felt his Elemental being unstable. The delicate balance of Elemental Energies had been broken. The weight of lightning had increased, which led to Kyle's Lightning Energy attacking his other Elemental Energies.
This was the issue with plex Elementals. They needed balance. The best way to advance was to consume plex Elementals made of the same Elements, but these were exceptionally rare.
Yet, that wasn't the only problem. At the same time, an intense, burning pain spread across his entire existence. His mind was connected to his Elemental's existence, but since he didn't know how Spacetime Lightning worked, he couldn't adapt his existence to it. This was no different from feeding a Mortal Yang-Lightning. Their body couldn't make use of Yang-Lightning, which was why they would burn to a crisp.
This wasn't an issue for Elemental Demons. After all, they were Elementals with the consciousness of Demons. They could easily integrate with stronger Elements.
Sadly, Kyle and Sebastian were humans, and their Spirit dictated their position. Other Elementals could slowly advance by changing their position, but Kyle and Sebastian couldn't. They had to do it in one go, and the only way to succeed was to prehend the respective Law.
An instant later, Kyle dumped the Spacetime Lightning into the surroundings again. He had been weakened slightly after absorbing the Spacetime Lightning, but the intense Gravity Lightning Energy around him quickly refilled his lost Energy.
'That is one way to advance,' Kyle thought as he thought back to the feeling of absorbing Spacetime Lightning. 'As expected, consuming Elemental Energies in this way greatly boosts my speed of prehension.'
Kyle frowned. 'Assuming that there's enough. This little bit of Spacetime Lightning didn't even give me a second of prehension. Killing random Elementals won't be fast enough.'
Kyle turned towards the closest Spacetime Elemental. This one was made of Spacetime Metal.
It was motionlessly hovering in its position, swarms of Gravity Elementals floating towards it. From time to time, the powerful Elemental moved one of its metallic limbs to the side, dispersing the weak Elementals.
Kyle manded his Elemental to charge towards the powerful Spacetime Metal Elemental, joining the wave of attackers.
The enemy Elemental didn't pay any attention to Kyle as he approached.
Then, it waved one of its limbs towards him.
This was a casual attack from a Peak Sage Elemental. Kyle's Elemental was only a Peak Crusher Elemental. Such an attack would pletely obliterate his Elemental.
But then, Kyle's Elemental suddenly burst with unending waves of Energy as Kyle dumped the Energy of his Center into his Elemental. If he had done that in the Main Dimension, he would immediately be found out. Luckily, he was not in the Main Dimension.
With the addition of Kyle's Energy, the power balance had shifted. Now, it was a Peak Sage with a Pure Level Five Law fighting against a Major Spirit Lord with eight Pure Level Four Laws.
Kyle's Elemental swung its hammer.
BANG!
The enemy Elemental's limbs broke, but before it could react to the sudden turn of events, Kyle's Elemental swung again.
BOOOOM!
The Spacetime Metal Elemental broke into pieces, which Kyle's Elemental quickly collected and consumed.
Of course, the Elemental wasn't truly consuming the Spacetime Metals. After all, Kyle already knew the Law of Spacetime Metal. The Elemental was just transporting the Spacetime Metals to Kyle, who put them into his Soul Space.
Afterward, Kyle's Elemental left the location.
The storm of attacking Elementals reached the former location of the Spacetime Metal Elemental and started fighting each other violently.
Over the next few minutes, more and more of them joined the battle, and the waves of Spacetime Metal Energy intensified. Several Gravity Metal Elementals generated ever-increasing numbers of strands of Spacetime Metal Energy.
Eventually, one of the Elementals fully transformed into a Spacetime Metal Elemental, which started to consume all the surrounding Elementals.
Things had stabilized again.
Meanwhile, Kyle was looking at the Spacetime Metal in his Soul Space. He wanted to test something.
'This can't work, right? That would be too easy,' he thought as he watched the Spacetime Metal.
Yet, even after looking at the Spacetime Metal for hours, he didn't see a change.
'Bro, no way, right?' he thought. 'I thought the Spacetime Metal would disperse after some time. After all, if all of this were permanent Spacetime Metal, it would be too broken!'
Kyle scratched the side of his head. 'Although, I already broke the game. The Elemental Dimension isn't supposed to be accessible in Primary Worlds. So, why would there be any considerations of balance in the Elemental Dimension?'
Kyle took a deep breath as he slowly realized what this meant.
'Dude, all of this is permanent Spacetime Metal. I can use it, change it, sell it, whatever.'
Kyle looked at the remaining cubes of Spacetime Metal he had received from Manny.
Then, he looked at the broken Spacetime Metal Elemental.
It had been over ten kilometers tall.
The amount of Spacetime Metal Kyle now owned had increased by over a billion times.
'I could probably equip every single Spirit Lord in Humanity with this much Spacetime Metal.'
'I think I've bee the richest person in all of Ayuvar just now.'
