Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis activated his Will-Aura and felt the space around him. The lightning from Heaven was nowhere to be seen. Instead, something similar to fog filled this barrier. Gravis felt the Primal Energy in the air, and it seemed to mold to whatever he wanted. It was similar to how the elements followed what he wanted by him activating his Elemental Synchronicity.

"It's time!" Gravis shouted with mad glee.

Gravis absorbed a lot of the Primal Energy into his body and willed it to transform into Destruction Energy.

BOOM BZZZZZZZ!

A part of Gravis' chest was destroyed as a second Lightning Seed, made out of pure Destruction Energy, was created. Gravis ignored the pain as he activated his Elemental Synchronicity. The Lightning Seed quickly moved through his body without damaging it. The second Lightning Seed was moving right towards his mind!

"The Pre-Forming Technique said that if the mind were completely filled with Energy, it would come into life-threatening danger. At that point, the mind either had to be destroyed, or it had to adapt! The main reason why people needed a Will-Aura to reach the Spirit Forming Realm had never been the pain, but this adaptation process. If someone formed their Spirit without a Will-Aura, they wouldn't be able to force their mind to adapt to the Energy."

Gravis' smirk intensified. "So, if the mind can be forced to acclimate to Energy, can't it also be forced to acclimate to Lightning?" he shouted to himself with madness.

As he shouted that, the Lightning Seed broke into his mind, transforming all the Energy inside of it into Destruction Lightning. Without his Elemental Synchronicity, he wouldn't have been able to move his Lightning Seed into his mind safely. Without it, the Lightning Seed would have burned a hole into the walls of his mind, destroying it.

What did Gravis feel during all this?

Indescribable, infinite pain.

Gravis immediately fell to the floor, violently grabbing his hair in both of his hands. Nothing he had ever felt came even close to this intense pain. The relatively calm Energy was already creating so much pain that people needed a Will-Aura to survive that. Pure Destruction Lightning was infinitely more violent than this calm Energy.
