Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 496

"Gravis, it's time," the Empress said from her throne.

Gravis nodded. "I know. They should come out of their eggs soon," he said.

"We need to split them up. They can't be born near each other," the Empress said.

Gravis' eyes widened as he heard that. Separating the siblings at birth? Why would the Empress suggest something like that?

Gravis looked with cold eyes at the Empress. "Why?" he asked evenly.

The Empress had already expected such a reaction from Gravis. "Think about who their parents are," the Empress said. "I'm a powerful Emperor, and you have an incredibly powerful body and fighting instinct."

"As you know, when beasts are born, they can't even realize their own existence. In the beginning, they are nothing but a powerful body guided by pure instinct. Due to that, the first thing they will do after exiting their eggs is to try to eat the closest thing on their level, which are the other eggs."

"So, as soon as the first one breaks through their shell, they will try to kill their siblings and eat them while they're still not born yet," the Empress explained.

Gravis' heart shook as he heard that. Just imagining the picture of one of his children eating the others felt horrifying! They were his children! Why would they try to kill each other!?

Of course, Gravis' will was powerful enough to stay rational. He always tried his best not to let his emotions dictate his actions. Too many mistakes would appear if one always trusted their feelings to make the decisions for them.

"You have more experience in that. I will trust you on this matter," Gravis said after taking a deep breath to calm down.

The Empress nodded.

Whoosh!

"Empress," an Elder said deferentially as he appeared before the Empress. Gravis hadn't even been able to keep track of the Elder due to his power.

"Area A 1, Area A 6, Area A 11," the Empress said to the Elder.

The Elder nodded and went to the eggs. Then, some wind appeared that made the eggs levitate gently.

"Wait a second," Gravis said, making the Elder look at him neutrally. "I want to follow and keep watch."
