Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis knew that look inside the Lightning Ultimate's eyes. It was the look of disdain, envy, and hatred. The lower Heaven had looked at Gravis the same way when he had held it in his hands. Yet, Gravis couldn't be sure about the reason behind the Lightning Ultimate's feelings.

He noticed that the Lightning Ultimate only looked at the other beasts with disdain, but only Gravis had the luck to receive his envy and hatred as well. Obviously, this Lightning Ultimate had issues with Gravis, but Gravis had no idea why. He hadn't even met or talked to the guy. How could there already be enmity?

Borro, the grey elephant, released a sigh of relief. He didn't want to fight Gravis since he couldn't gain anything from it. He knew that Gravis was a danger to his life, but even if Borro won, he would gain nothing. Gravis' corpse would be worthless to him. Taking a fight without a possibility of a payout was stupid in his eyes. That was why he didn't want to fight Gravis.

"The Lightning Ultimate has spoken, Gravis," Azure said from his side. "He has the authority as one of the Ultimates to make such a decree. Don't worry, after the Ultimate's Meet is over, you can search for the elephant."

Gravis was not a fan of this at all. Gravis felt a familiar feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time.

He felt suppressed!

The grey elephant, obviously, had promised to fight him. This was a life and death challenge, and no beast would care about something like that, even at this particular time. The Lightning Ultimate was targeting him for some reason.

"The Lightning Ultimate is jealous of your Punishment Lightning, Gravis," Azure transmitted to Gravis as she noticed his confusion. "Even after thousands of years, he never managed to comprehend it. Yet, you were able to comprehend it as a Lord. He knows that, and he hates that you have something that he can't have. That's why he's making your life difficult."

Gravis' eyes shone. Now, this made a lot of sense. Yet, being envious of someone that had something that they didn't was a weak mindset. Everyone had the ability to comprehend powerful Laws. They only had to risk their lives to comprehend it.

This weak mindset was probably also the reason why the Lightning Ultimate was an Ultimate and not an Ascender. He had probably sought power above anything else, but instead of pursuing Battle-Strength, he pursued the power that came with his Realm. Yet, the Striders blocked his path forward since he wasn't powerful enough to battle them.

The Lightning Ultimate had sacrificed long-term gain for short-term gain. Now, he was stuck in this situation due to the errors he made earlier in his life, which made him bitter. This was precisely the same situation as Old Man Lightning and the High Priest had been in.
