Lightning Is the Only Way

The three level four Emperors arrived one after the other.

First, the level four Emperor from the north arrived and waited for Gravis to announce the reason why he had called him here.

For now, Gravis ignored him.

Then, the clam arrived, and she glared at the level four Emperor from the north while he glared back. At least, Gravis thought that she glared. It was hard to discern the facial expressions of a clam.

Lastly, the level four Emperor from the west arrived, and surprisingly, he didn't go to the other land beast Emperor. Instead, he took up a third position. He didn't glare at either of them, but Gravis could feel that he was not a fan of either of the two. The same thing was true for the northern level four Emperor, who looked with venom at the western level four Emperor.

Gravis scratched his chin as he noticed that. 'Interesting,' he thought.

"Alright," Gravis said as he flew closer to them.

All three of them stopped glaring and only respectfully looked at Gravis.

"This meeting will consist of two parts," Gravis said. "Depending on your mindset, you will either enjoy or fear the first part. The second part is only an order I will give you."

The three of them were anticipating Gravis' words in fear. He was the most powerful out of all of them, and if he wanted to kill them, he could do just that without any repercussions. After all, he was not an Ultimate. The ruler wouldn't intervene.

"Now, for the first part," Gravis said. At the side, the three children of Gravis also looked with anticipation at Gravis. What would he do?

"I'll be straightforward. As soon as I become a level three Emperor, I will be powerful enough to eat Striders, which means that I won't need any more food from the beasts," Gravis said.

The three of them released a sigh of relief. This had been their biggest fear. If Gravis decided to eat them, there would be nothing they could do about it.
