Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis walked through the new Lightning Tower as he followed Lasar. They went through a lot of corridors and up some stairs. The corridors appeared bulky at some places since that was where the cables ran through. Gravis also saw a lot of small, open crevices at those spots. He realized that the bulky part of the corridors was closed with removable panels.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a singular door, which was protected by multiple Formation Arrays. Lasar shot some lightning at the Formation Arrays in a peculiar way, and the door opened. Behind the door, Gravis saw a small room. It was not really noteworthy, except for the platform in the middle that was half a meter higher than the floor.

"The platform in the middle acts as a receiver for Destruction Lightning. Your Destruction Lightning only has to hit any spot of the platform to be absorbed," Lasar explained evenly without any motivation or energy. He sounded utterly exhausted. "Sit down in the middle, but don't release your lightning yet."

Gravis nodded and sat down on the platform. "We don't have a way to store your lightning, so you have to release it according to the disciples' power in each room. In total, we have 100 rooms that are only for creating Destruction Lightning. Those rooms have two valves instead of only one. One valve is for Destruction Lightning, while the second one is for Life Lightning."

Gravis inspected those rooms with his Spirit and saw the two valves. "Just like in the normal rooms," Lasar continued explaining, "the valves for Destruction Lightning need to be held down. If someone loses their power, the valve will shoot upward with quite some speed. If the valve shoots up quickly, it will automatically release the valve of Life Lightning for a couple of seconds. If it goes up slowly, the valve for Life Lightning won't open. On top of that, only one valve can remain open at a time."

Gravis nodded multiple times as he heard that. "That's pretty smart," he said with praise. "If people lose their power, they get healed immediately while the people, who still have some strength left, won't waste unnecessary Life Lightning. The fact that only one valve can be opened at a time also won't create the issue of people getting natural lightning since Life Lightning and Destruction Lightning would just fuse into natural lightning."

Lasar nodded in exhaustion. "Exactly," he said. "Regarding the power that is transferred, there is a difference based on the cultivation of the spender. If someone at the Magic Gathering Realm releases Destruction Lightning, the formations will take over the lightning's distribution. Luckily, with you being in the Spirit Forming Realm, we don't need to waste the resources required to operate these Formation Arrays. I assume you have enough control over your lightning to keep the people alive."

Gravis nodded. "Of course. Their survival won't be an issue."

Lasar nodded again. "Just use your Spirit to control the Destruction Lightning and distribute it accordingly. There probably won't be an issue. One more thing, though. Not everyone is craving power and tempering as crazily as you, so try to keep that in mind. You may be fine with having your whole body on the brink of death to gain power more quickly, but most others aren't. Just release less lightning than you want for yourself and raise it slightly. When you see someone take their hand of the valve, remember that and don't increase it as quickly anymore."
