Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis didn't move out of the way of the all-out attack, even though he had seen it coming. He wanted to try something. 'It should work in theory, but I need to test it,' he thought.

Gravis pointed his right hand at the beam and put all his power into his Spirit. Then, he used all his concentration and used the Law of Metal Composition, which was comprised of the Laws of Hard Pure and Medium Pure Materials.

The all-out attack of a Divine Beast worked by transforming the user's Realm into pure elemental Energy, which would tear everything apart, similar to lightning. Of course, even if it was similar to lightning, it had nothing to do with it in actuality.

SSSHHH!

Sure enough, the beam started breaking down as it turned into concentrated Energy. Gravis' eyes shone when he saw that.

Everything in the Cosmos was comprised of Energy.

When Energy was put in a certain form, it transformed into matter. Then, all its properties changed. Gravis' Law of Composition could turn an offensive elemental attack into its earlier form, which was matter. That was why the elephant's body didn't turn into Energy but into dust when Gravis had used his Composition Law on his enemy's metal body.

Energy transformed into matter, which then transformed into an elemental attack.

Yet, the all-out attack from a Divine Beast was different. They transformed parts of their body into Energy, which would then transform into this pure elemental Energy. Usually, using this elemental Energy as an attack would be useless. After all, it wasn't nearly as powerful as a normal elemental attack.

Of course, by sacrificing an entire Realm, the quantity far outweighed the lack of quality. There was just so much elemental Energy stored inside a beast's Realm that it was astonishing.

So, Gravis got an idea.

If the Composition Law turned elemental attacks into a scattered form of the previous state, which was dust, what would happen if he did the same thing with an all-out attack?

Even though an all-out attack was far more powerful than any attack a beast could muster, the quality remained the same. It was still an attack equivalent to the beast's Realm. The only difference was that there was basically more of it.

This meant that his Will-Aura was still powerful enough to completely negate this attack, and even if this didn't work, the attack would be weak enough that Gravis wouldn't die if he were hit.

The beam shot at Gravis with incredible speed, but before it reached his body, the attack had vanished. Of course, it hadn't truly vanished, but since Energy couldn't be seen, it just appeared like it had vanished.

WHOOOOOSH!

Gravis felt the movement of Energy in the air with a smirk.

BZZZZZ!

three of them remained silent again. It wasn't that they were impressed by Gravis' mindset but that his words had resonated with them. Well, at least with two of them. Meadow

Without her realizing it, she had already stopped comparing herself to some beasts.
