Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked with shock at the Plant Ultimate. Hadn't Ferris said that plants were not fans of slaughter? Also, hadn't he said that the Plant Ultimate was a nice being? How come Gravis was not able to see any of these things!?

"So, you didn't intend for me to learn this stuff," Gravis said.

"Fuck no!" the Plant Ultimate transmitted with her calm and harmonious voice. "Everything that stands between you and your path to power must be eliminated with everything you have! Everyone just doesn't want to anger me by stepping on my body with all their power."

"Wait," Gravis said as he looked at the flowers. "This is also your body? I thought you were only this flower."

"Who do you think I am?!" the Plant Ultimate said with her melodious voice. "I'm an Ultimate! I am not only this meadow of flowers, but this entire fucking forest!"

Gravis took a deep breath when he heard that. He had expected that this was the bulwark, but in actuality, it was just the Plant Ultimate.

"Ferris! I thought we were at the bulwark!" Gravis shouted to him.

Ferris tilted his head to the side in confusion. "I didn't say that. I said the bulwark is close, which it is."

'This guy!' Gravis thought.

"Anyway," Gravis said as he stood up again. "Our main goal is to understand the Composition of Wood, but if you allow us to understand more, that would be even better."

The Plant Ultimate remained silent for a bit. "Why the fuck would you want to understand wood without having the affinity for it? That sounds retarded!"

Hearing a calm and harmonious voice say the word "retarded" sure felt weird to Gravis. "Because comprehending other Laws might give insights into our main Laws."

"How?" the Plant Ultimate asked directly and flatly.
