Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis and the High Priest locked eyes. The High Priest wore the most extravagant robes that Gravis had ever seen. They were so filled with ornaments, jewelry, and Energy Stones that it seemed incredibly difficult to walk in them. Yet, contrasting his pompous clothing, the priest only carried a single, long, wooden staff with him. That was probably his weapon.

"So, you're the High Priest, huh?" Gravis transmitted to him.

The High Priest narrowed his eyes. The ant before him didn't seem to fear him even a little bit. When had someone not kneeled out of reverence before him? Yet, what did an ant's opinion matter to an elephant?

"And you're the ant that wants to kill father," he sent back with disdain.

"Father? I thought Heaven was genderless," Gravis commented nonchalantly.

Gravis' lack of reaction to him was irking the High Priest. "It is. We assign Heaven a gender that we feel most comfortable with. To me, Heaven is my father," he said, his voice echoing throughout the Lightning Sect. He didn't need to use his Spirit to communicate with Gravis.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Lightning Sect looked with absolute shock and fear at the flying person. They had never seen the High Priest, but they felt like ants beneath him. This was the strongest person in this entire world! Even Lasar was fearful as he watched him.

Gravis' eyes glimmered. "Interesting," he said, his voice also echoing throughout the Lightning Sect. When the High Priest heard Gravis' voice, his eyes narrowed further. This proved that Gravis was still able to move under his Heavenly Pressure.

One had to know that the High Priest exhibited a Heavenly Pressure that was equal to a level three Unity Will. On top of that, there was a strong level suppression between them. This proved that Gravis' Will-Aura was way more powerful than his Heavenly Pressure.

"You can still move," the High Priest commented. "I see why you are father's enemy. Yet, what is so interesting about me calling Heaven my father?" he asked. The High Priest seemed to be in control of this whole situation. The way he talked also broadcasted this fact to everyone present.

Gravis only continued smirking as he slowly lifted his hand to scratch his chin. "A father is more overbearing than a mother. This lower Heaven's conduct is definitely more akin to an abusive father than a loving mother. Who would have expected that its strongest child would be afraid of its own parent?"
