Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis told them how he met up with his copy and how they first tried to destroy the trial. The group was a bit surprised since they hadn't thought about doing anything like that. They had just accepted their trial without trying to break it.

Well, it was understandable, actually. After all, everyone in the group was only in the initial Stage of Spirit Forming. Breaking something like the Heaven's Trial required just too much power. Gravis was in a different situation since he had enough power to fight something like that.

Together with his copy, Gravis could have annihilated the area of every previous trial. The power of two Gravises was just too great. Of course, Heaven had anticipated something like this, which was why it made the area for the fifth trial special.

When Gravis told them about the solution he had found for the trial, the group's eyes widened. Something like this was possible?

"Could we also have done this?" Nero asked nervously. He still felt terrible about how he had won the fifth trial.

Gravis scratched his chin. "You could not have done the same," he said. "You don't have the ability to change yourself into something that can be fused. Two Spirits can't fuse under normal circumstances. The only reason why this was possible for me was that my Spirit could be converted into lightning. At most, you would have been able to fuse your Energy."

Nero sighed. "And since the Spirit is the core of a person, we would have still been forced to kill each other."

Gravis nodded. "Sadly, yes."

"By the way," Joyce said with interest. "I can't feel your Spirit. Does that mean that you have reached the Self Stage?" she asked.

Gravis smirked and nodded.

Instead of being excited and happy, Joyce sighed in sadness. "That means you will leave us soon, right?" she asked.

Gravis also sighed but walked closer to Joyce and put his hand on her shoulder. "It was bound to happen eventually, but let me first tell you about the solution I came up with regarding our situation."
