Lightning Is the Only Way

Morus smirked. "Good," he said. "Then you can go visit your offspring. I can't understand why you are hanging onto them so tightly, but that's your thing. You can simply contact me when it's time to go."

Gravis was not comfortable with the situation. Obviously, Morus hated him deeply. Yet, Morus had put benefits above his emotions and even called emotions a weakness. Sadly, that mindset was one that Gravis could empathize with.

Back in the lower world, when he had still not confronted his feelings, he had thought the same thing. Emotional decisions would mostly end with a bad outcome, which was why he hated and suppressed his emotions back then.

Yet, after talking to his mother, he realized that suppressing his emotions to have a greater shot at achieving his goal would invalidate his entire goal. Sure, he would be free in the end, but what then? Everything after that would be hollow.

Gravis still didn't make decisions on an emotional basis, but he also didn't need to completely suppress and kill them. Gravis saw the danger in what such a mindset could bring in the end, but he didn't tell Morus.

After all, the two of them were definitely not companions. Telling someone about their flaws would help them, and Gravis surely didn't want to help Morus more than necessary. After they returned to the highest world, their paths would split. The chances were high that Morus would be far out of his element in the highest world and would find a quick death.

"When it is time, I will contact you," Gravis said evenly. Then, he turned around and shot towards the south. It had been over 700 years since he had seen his children, and he wanted to know how everything was going for them.

Morus only smirked. "I wish you luck," he said with a weird tone.

Gravis furrowed his brows as he heard Morus. 'I'm pretty sure that he doesn't know something I don't know about my kids, but his way of speaking just sounds ominous. Is this another way for him to rile me up emotionally?' Gravis thought.

Ironically, Morus had learned a lot about control while he had been Gravis' servant. Because of that, when Gravis talked to Morus, it felt challenging for him to gain control of the conversation. Gravis enjoyed being in control, and he was pretty good at gaining control over a situation, but it felt very difficult when he talked to Morus.

'There's one thing I know for sure now,' Gravis thought with narrowed eyes. 'Morus is not stupid, and he is very dangerous. I guess most of my problems when dealing with him come from the fact that Morus knows a ton about me while I know nearly nothing about him. Our powers are comparable, but Morus is able to take most of the control for himself.'

'Yet, I wonder, is my feeling of having control really factual, or have my opponents just not shown their hands? Morus is openly demonstrating his control of the situation, while others might keep it a secret.'
