Lightning Is the Only Way

The eyes of the High Priest narrowed.

"Father, should I go personally?"

WHOOSH!

The High Priest didn't feel anything, but Heaven felt an apocalyptical pressure. It couldn't move under this pressure.

"You have bent the rules enough. You will answer no and send Aion," an imposing voice spoke to Heaven. To Heaven, it felt like a giant was standing before it, while it was only a small, insignificant ant. Heaven answered the High Priest.

That is not necessary.

The High Priest got his answer and sighed. So, the danger of Gravis was not so severe that he had to move personally. He seemed to have overestimated Gravis' danger.

"Father, whom should I send?" asked the High Priest.

Aion.

Heaven felt awful when it said that. Its parent Heaven from the middle-world, was constantly telling it to finally kill Gravis. Its parent Heaven had gotten orders from its parent, which has gotten orders from the highest Heaven. Heaven could sacrifice itself to tell the High Priest that he should kill Gravis personally, but Heaven wasn't willing to sacrifice itself.

The High Priest sighed. "That should be good enough. As long as Gravis hasn't reached the Spirit Forming Realm, that will be enough," he muttered to himself. Then, the High Priest walked back to his throne and looked at the still kneeling Aion. Aion hadn't said anything in several minutes, just waiting for further instructions.

"Aion, tell me about the strength of this Gravis."

"Gravis can kill safely two levels above himself," he said, and the High Priest's eyes widened again.

"That's really impressive. Only a select few geniuses in the Core-Continent can do that. How strong is his Will-Aura? When have you last felt it?"

had been impressive, but nothing incredibly special. He had felt it before, after all. But then, he realized that the last time he had felt Gravis' Will-Aura had been when Gravis had still been in the Body Tempering Realm. Slowly, Aion's heart started beating faster. "I ask for permission to
