Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis left the world behind as he flew into the center of the world, the area where the Grand Lake was located.

As he continued flying, he looked at everything around him. He passed over several Empires as he saw the beasts getting ready for war. The entire feeling of the world had changed.

Before the Ultimate's Meet, the world emanated a feeling of opportunity. It felt like a lot of beasts tried to reach for supreme power as they all wanted to increase their power. Additionally, there had been no urgency in regards to the sea beasts before the Ultimate's Meet.

Now, the feeling had changed to one of nervousness and uncertainty. The goal of most beasts had shifted from reaching supreme power to trying to survive. The land beasts had never been under a real threat from the sea beasts. Lords might not have known that, but most Kings knew about the truth.

But now, everyone knew that they could actually die. A lot of the land beasts, which hadn't been willing to fight on the front lines, felt overwhelmed with fear and stress. They had intended to become powerful by doing odd jobs, like escorting weaker beasts, breeding powerful offspring, teaching battle tactics, or just wanting to stay alive.

They never had to fear the sea beasts since the sea beasts would never be able to extend their reach that far into the land beasts' territory. Yet, everything had changed. Now, even these beasts needed to fear for their lives.

Gravis noticed all of these subtle things with his Spirit and shook his head.

Was it fair? Was it fair that someone that didn't want to fight had to fight to survive?

No.

Yet, what could one do about it?

it was fair or not didn't matter. The truth was the truth. Sometimes, the truth was very unfair and cold. If these beasts from the lower worlds had remained in the lower worlds, most of them could have lived their lives out in peace. After all, the lower world didn't have as
