Lightning Is the Only Way

400 years later, Gravis had managed to comprehend all the relevant Laws of Life.

Heaven's attacks became increasingly faster, making him unable to avoid them. He could only resort to blocking, and his Life Energy was running out faster than he was regenerating it.

Because of this pressure, Gravis managed to learn the level three Law of Energy Healing and the Composition Law for all Life.

Thanks to these two Laws, Gravis managed to stay alive.

After Gravis comprehended these two Laws, Heaven changed its approach again. Now, it was attacking him with one element with increasing power. It wanted to force him into comprehending the level three Laws of the Elements now.

Yet, Gravis didn't just stand there and take the attacks. He had already tried nearly everything to kill Heaven. He had unleashed an uncountable number of Lightning Crescents and Mortalities. Yet, Heaven was always able to block them.

Except for Mortality.

As long as Heaven didn't use the power of a level five Law to block Mortality, it wouldn't be able to block the attack. Because of that, it always evaded Mortality. After all, in its mind, unleashing the power of a level five Law was still too early.

Gravis noticed Heaven's plan of shoehorning him into learning all the level three Laws of the elements.

Yet, Gravis never forgot his repressed emotions. If he had to stay here for thousands of years, he might not be able to deal with the outbreak of his emotions again.

This meant that he may be forced to forever stay his current, emotionless, cold self.

Was this what Gravis wanted?

Gravis still remembered the words of his mother that told him about his father's problems. His father was the most powerful being besides Heaven, but his life was only monotone and grey. Was this the life that Gravis wanted?

Would forever running away from his emotions be true freedom?

Sure, being emotionless might actually help him even more in reaching true power than if he constantly thought about other people.

Heaven knew this, which was why it wanted to forge Gravis into a second Opposer. As long as it granted him freedom, due to Gravis' mindset, it would never need to fear any kind of attack from him.

Gravis was different from his father.

His father might decide to kill the highest Heaven regardless, but Gravis wasn't like this. The highest Heaven had repaid its debt, and Gravis had truly forgiven it. As long as it didn't go against him or his family again, he wouldn't target the highest Heaven anymore, no matter how powerful he got.

But then, what was the point of reaching supreme power?
