Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis felt incredibly satisfied. In the last 38 years, he had watched as Ferris understood one Law after the other, while he hadn't understood even a single Law during that time. It had been very frustrating at the start, but as Gravis came closer to his goal, he realized that his progress wasn't slower than Ferris', well, as long as he ignored the level two and level three Laws Ferris managed to understand.

By now, Gravis understood that one's knowledge about the world couldn't fully be defined by the amount and levels of Laws one understood. Ferris had lived for way over 3,000 years, yet he hadn't been very powerful for a level one Emperor. Did that automatically mean that he knew less about the world than more powerful level one Emperors?

No! Ferris had an incredible amount of scattered knowledge, which he had involuntarily learned just by living so long. Gravis guessed that Ferris was probably one of the oldest beasts in this world. How many beasts managed to die of old age?

Nearly none of them! Gravis was certain of that. As long as someone became a King, they had shown that their goal of supreme power was incredibly important to them. This meant that other Kings were way more likely to hunt other Kings to become more powerful.

Gravis remembered the Guild Master of the Lightning Guild in the middle-continent in the lower world and all his elders. This Guild Master, as well as his elders, had said that they were wasting away and that they had given up on the path to power. Even the elders in the Lightning Sect acted like that.

Gravis had met some Lords in this world that were not very interested in supreme power. Silva and his following were an incredible example of that. As Gravis thought back to Silva, he wondered how he was doing right now. Did he get his peaceful territory?

So, with all of this said, how many Kings had Gravis met that gave up on their path forward?

Not a single one!

All the Kings he had met wanted to become more powerful and become Emperors. This meant that they would kill someone if they got the chance.
