Lightning Is the Only Way

Aris, Cera, and Yersi looked at Gravis with cold eyes. Gravis noticed these cold eyes and could already take several guesses at what these meant.

"You don't seem as impressive as everyone makes you out to be," Aris said coldly.

'So, it's that, huh? Sometimes, I simply can't get beasts,' Gravis thought. Saying that he didn't feel anything when he heard these words would be a lie. To humans, as long as a family member didn't prove to be a dick, feeling familial love would be natural. Yet, to beasts, even familial love needed to be earned.

To Gravis, it didn't feel very pleasant that his children would only care about him as long as he proved himself to be powerful. This kind of felt impure to him. Yet, what could he do? They were beasts at heart, and that was just how beasts were.

"Does it really matter if I'm impressive or not? If I were the weakest level three King, would you simply despise me?" Gravis asked.

Gravis watched his kids to see their reactions. Aris didn't show any reaction, just like Cera. Yet, Yersi appeared to be a bit unsure. 'So, they are not pure beasts. At least, Yersi still seems to hesitate. Interesting.'

"If you were so pathetic, you wouldn't have any right to be our father," Aris said coldly. Cera also agreed with that. Yersi kept silent.

'Ouch, that stings,' Gravis thought. 'Well, it doesn't matter much. They are still my kids. If every parent immediately stopped loving their kids just because their kids said once that they hated them, no one would have any parents left. It's not great, but that's just how it is.'

"So," Gravis said, "You're saying that I need to beat some sense into you?"

Aris narrowed his eyes as he looked at Gravis. "No one jumps levels against me. Instead, I'm the one jumping the levels. I haven't fought an Emperor yet, but I'm sure that I can fight one."

Gravis believed Aris' first statement, but the second one was just pure nonsense. Starting at the Law Comprehension Realm, every beast was a Divine Beast. This meant that a level one Emperor had a body 16 times more powerful than Aris. This wasn't impossible to beat, but the true power of an Emperor was their Laws, not their body or Realm.

Even Gravis doubted that he could take down an Emperor, even if that Emperor was one that would be countered by one of his Composition Laws. As for Aris? Aris wasn't even a bit dangerous to Gravis right now.

"Have you fought anyone yet that managed to comprehend a level two Law?" Gravis asked.

"No, but I want to," Aris said.

"Do you want to feel the power of a level two Law?" Gravis asked with a smirk.

WHOOOOOM!

Gravis released his Will-Aura, as well as his Law of Suppression. Their three bodies seized when they felt the incomparably domineering pressure. Moving their bodies became incredibly difficult under Gravis' Will-Aura.

Aris looked at Gravis with narrowed eyes. He had definitely underestimated his father. Yet, this suppression wasn't enough to stop him. He was still several times faster than his father.
