Lightning Is the Only Way

Heaven was shocked.

The highest Heaven was shocked.

The Opposer grinned.

This went beyond all of their expectations, except for the Opposer. The Opposer trusted in his son, and he also trusted that his son would find a way out of this mess.

His son desired freedom, and the highest Heaven had suppressed him in a very gentle manner. Anyone else would have believed that they would be truly free if the highest Heaven didn't act against them. Only the beings that desired true freedom would notice this soft form of suppression.

"What have you done!?" Heaven shouted in shock and rage. How had all of this happened!?

Gravis swallowed the Avatar with a grin. "I just swallowed your Avatar. What does it look like I'm doing?" Gravis asked.

"You are not ready yet!" Heaven shouted. For the first time, Heaven seemed to be truly emotionally riled up, and Gravis enjoyed every moment of it. "You are supposed to learn the Laws of the Elements first! Do you not realize that everything you are doing is only damaging your own path forward!? Why would you do something so stupid!?"

"Because I want to," Gravis said.

Silence.

Heaven waited for more, but Gravis had already listed his entire reason. A shocked expression appeared on Heaven's face, and Gravis had to laugh loudly when he saw that.

"You push me into a path that leads to supreme power," Gravis said. "Sure, I want to reach supreme power, but I don't want to reach it via a path that you want to force upon me."

"What is this idiocy!?" Heaven shouted. "The ancestor knows best on how to reach supreme power! Why are you not accepting the ancestor's help!?"

"Hey, I'm not arguing that," Gravis said with a chuckle. "Your ancestor truly knows best, and I would have maybe followed his path."
