Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis almost couldn't believe what he was seeing. He knew a lot about Composition and about living and dead matter. Someone that didn't know as much wouldn't be as surprised about this development. Yet, to Gravis, it appeared magical that something dead could become something living.

When the microorganisms fused together, they not only created a will but also a soul! How was it possible that they created a soul? Gravis had always thought that a soul was something magical that entered a body via Heaven or something similar. A lot of people believed in reincarnation and that the souls of dead beings could enter new bodies.

Yet, this revelation showed him that this was not the case. The soul was being created by a fusion of microorganisms. This meant a completely new soul that had never seen the world before had been created. There was no such thing as reincarnation in this cosmos.

"Shocking, isn't it?" Sary asked with a smirk. "When I've noticed this for the first time, I was also shocked. You should know that Azure's technique of understanding the Life Laws came from me. I have always comprehended the Life Laws via creating new children and watching them. The microorganisms are obviously not alive, yet they contribute immensely to living beings."

Gravis nodded. "It truly is shocking. I guess Azure has already comprehended the Law of Microorganisms, right?"

"Probably," Sary answered. "I don't know for sure, but she had comprehended at least one level two Law in regards to the body. So, the chances that she has already realized the workings of the microorganisms is quite high."

Gravis thought back to how he had watched his children being created. He had kept watch over the entire thing, but his knowledge regarding the Composition of the Body was not high enough to notice how special something like this was. His children had also once been microorganisms, but Gravis hadn't noticed this peculiarity.

The egg, which demonstrated the microorganisms, turned back to its old form after creating life, and Gravis continued looking at it. With this new knowledge, he should be able to look at the microorganisms from a different point of view.

Two years passed. Eight years until the time was up.

By now, the microorganisms made a lot more sense to Gravis. He still had no idea how the microorganisms created souls, Life Energy, or a will, but their actions made more sense. Microorganisms had no kind of Life Energy inside them. If they had, Gravis should have been able to feel it.

Yet, Gravis hit a roadblock again. There had to be some use that these microorganisms had that Gravis still didn't know about. Creating life was impressive, but there had to be more.

During that time, Gravis also observed his own body, but he found no microorganisms inside it. There was just lightning that had manifested inside him. Yet, he noticed one thing.

'I think my Life Energy is a bit different from the Life Energy of other living beings,' Gravis thought. 'I use Life Energy to heal my body without transforming into lightning, but it may not be the typical Life Energy of other beasts. Most of the Laws regarding the Body still work on me, but not all of them. Maybe this is one of those Laws?'
