Lightning Is the Only Way
Chapter 451
Gravis was a bit surprised by the Red King's words, and he also realized why he hadn't fully believed that the water buffalo was a false snake. Apparently, the water buffalo had been sincere in his words and had actually meant what he said.
Usually, Gravis would talk to the Red King more about his dislike for the buffalo since he was pretty sure of the reason why the Red King disliked the water buffalo, even though the water buffalo was kind in nature. Gravis was also sure that the Red King didn't even know the reason himself. Yet, since Gravis viewed the Red King as his enemy, he saw no sense in trying to convince him.
How did Gravis know the reason for the Red King's dislike even though the Red King didn't know it himself?
The reason for that was that Gravis had been in a similar situation in his past. Back in the Core-Continent, Gravis had thought kindness to be a weakness. He had looked down upon the Freya Clan due to their kind nature and thought it to be a defeatist attitude.
Yet, Joyce had shown him that he had been wrong. Gravis had thought of them as weak because he hadn't been willing to confront the emotional pain that kindness brought with it. After all, if Gravis helped others and something happened to them, Gravis would feel pain.
The Red King had a similar attitude towards the water buffalo for the same reason. The Red King tried to justify his cruelness and willingness to sacrifice everything for power by believing kind beasts to be weak. After all, if kind beasts were able to reach the top, then why had he sacrificed so much? Admitting that kindness could also result in power would force him to acknowledge that there was a better path to power.
Of course, Gravis didn't believe himself to be a kind person. He knew that he had killed a lot of innocents due to his feud with the lower Heaven. Such a person couldn't be considered kind. Yet, Gravis acknowledged that there were many paths to power, some of which didn't require one to sacrifice all feelings of empathy.
This was the difference between the Red King and him. The Red King believed that his path was the only one to power, while Gravis knew that his path was only one of many. Of course, the word "power" in "path to power" refers to different levels of strength depending on who said it.
It was very possible that only one path led to the absolute top, which was the Opposer's level, but for the current horizons of this world, one could say that many paths lead to power.
Usually, Gravis would have told the Red King all these things, but he didn't bother since he viewed him as an enemy. Instead, as soon as he heard that the water buffalo genuinely meant everything he said, Gravis simply stopped caring. It wasn't important what the Red King thought of the water buffalo. It was only important what Gravis thought of him.
Another day passed in which a lot of new beasts arrived. Some of them greeted the Red King, while others simply ignored him. The Red King didn't care about any of them, judging by his conduct towards them.
The next day, no new beasts arrived. Gravis guessed that they were probably very close to the time of the meeting. No beast would want to come late to a meeting with the Empress since that would be a sign of disrespect.
