Lightning Is the Only Way

BANG!
The surroundings exploded as earth shot throughout the horizons.
"How dare you!" the badger shouted in uncontrollable fury.
"You say that you didn't want to do this!? You kill one of my companions and say that you didn't want to do this? You had a choice! If you genuinely didn't want to do this, you would have decided against doing it!"
Gravis remained calm as he turned his gaze to the Inquisitor. "You are right," Gravis said. "I had a choice. Some beasts might blame the circumstances and say that they were forced to do this, but that is not the case. I had a choice."
The Inquisitor gritted his teeth as his frustration became so powerful that he even injured his gums by gritting them so hard. "Then how dare you say that you didn't want to do this!?"
"Because I had to," Gravis said. "I could have let him live and let bygones be bygones. In my opinion, Commander Rime didn't deserve to die for this."
"Usually, I judge situations based on the beast's intentions rather than their actions. If they intend to hurt me, it doesn't matter if they actually managed to hurt me or not. They are an enemy in my mind. Yet, I haven't done that in this case," Gravis explained.
"Because it suits your selfish goal?" the badger asked with disdain.
"Yes," Gravis said, surprising the Inquisitor. "The goal to reach supreme power is inherently selfish. We kill others to become more powerful. Yet, this goal is more important to me than my morality. In order to achieve this goal, millions of innocents have died under my hand," Gravis said as he thought back to the apocalypse he had wrought when he had fought the lower Heaven.
"I don't want to kill beings that have done nothing to me, but if that is necessary to become powerful, I will do so regardless. I avoid killing friendly and innocent beings, but to keep my path to power alive, I need to do so regardless."
