Gravis quickly exited the third trial and made his way to the usual hall. After around an hour of walking, Gravis reached the hall and saw his group. Everyone was still alive, making Gravis smirk. Everyone's Will-Aura had increased, and Claude had also condensed his Unity Will.

The darkness disciple also had a fully concentrated Will-Aura now. Joyce was well on her way to reaching a level two Unity Will, but that would still require some tempering. Manuel had also started to slowly concentrate his Unity Will, but he was still a long way off from a level two Unity Will.

When the group saw Gravis, their eyes opened in shock. Gravis had already reached the Tree Stage? Wasn't that a little too fast? His will also felt much more powerful, but by now, the strength disparity was just too large. They couldn't judge Gravis' Will-Aura anymore. It just felt incredibly powerful.

"Congratulations!" Joyce shouted with a smile as she clapped into her hands, excitedly. "Now, no one below the Unity Realm can fight with you anymore!"

Gravis nodded with a smile. "Thanks. I should be able to reach the Self Stage in another ten months. Then…" Gravis trailed off as his smile transformed into a smirk.

Gravis didn't need to finish his sentence to make the group understand. They knew exactly what his goal was. After two more trials, Gravis would reach the Self Stage and then the Unity Realm. At that point, he would fight against Heaven, something that had seemed unimaginable to them a couple of years ago.

"I want to see it when it's time," Manuel said with a smirk as he stepped closer.

Instead of smirking back, Gravis' face transformed into a frown. "Manuel. There's something I need to tell you," he said.

The group noticed Gravis' change in tone and grew serious. Yet, how did Manuel react when he heard that?

Manuel only sighed.

"I think I know what you want to tell me," he said with helplessness. "Since humiliation didn't work, Heaven probably wanted to make you regret and rage. My disciple brothers are dead, aren't they?" he asked.

Gravis nodded solemnly.

When Manuel saw Gravis nod, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Tell me how it went down," he said with a calm tone as he sat down in the middle of the hall.
