Silence.

Deafening silence.

Gravis had gone through intense emotional turmoil, and he felt like he had reached the absolute bottom. He felt like he had lost control over his entire life, and the worst thing was that he accepted it.

If Heaven weren't powerful enough to kill him right now, would he have still done this? Would he have handed over his children?

Gravis wasn't sure.

He wasn't sure about anything anymore.

Gravis' human form began to regress more in age until he only looked to be about twelve years old. He felt like a child under the control of adults. When adults talked, children were supposed to be quiet and follow what the adults said.

"Don't overdo it," Heaven said. "Look at yourself. You feel like a child now? Stop feeling sorry for yourself. This situation all stems from your decision to fight me. Don't escape into your childhood to dodge responsibility."

Gravis gritted his teeth.

'How pathetic am I?' he thought with frustration.

In a matter of seconds, Gravis returned to the body of a young adult.

'So what!?' Gravis thought with gritted teeth. 'I'm not dead! My family isn't dead! Heaven is right! Everything stems from my arrogance! I have made this choice, and I need to bear the consequences!'

'I have already reached rock-bottom! It can only go up from here!' Gravis thought.

'Yes, I have taken a huge setback, but only when I give up will I truly lose! I might have failed in having a pure path to power. I might have failed in reaching supreme power without the highest Heaven's help, but I still have my dream of freedom! Isn't freedom my most important goal!?'

this true freedom?' Gravis thought as uncertainty returned to his being. 'Is it truly
