Lightning Is the Only Way

Everyone watched as Gravis was thrown around in the embrace of his mother. Gravis felt quite embarrassed, but what could he do? He also missed his mom, and he decided to just let her have her fun, even if she planned to embarrass him in front of his children.

"You deserve that," Cera said. "Now you know how we feel."

Aris and Yersi nodded solemnly.

"Gravis!" his mom shouted with excitement. "You've become so heavy! Oh, my boy is an adult now!"

His mom was throwing him around in her embrace like he was nothing more than a pillow. One had to remember that Gravis' body was incomprehensibly heavy. Yet, that didn't matter to his mother.

After a while, she put him down, put her hands on his shoulders, and inspected him. "Blue looks good on you," she said with a smirk. "You have become a real looker! Don't start bringing home one girlfriend after the other, okay?"

Gravis groaned. "Mom, I have better things to do than to go into a relationship."

His mother glanced at the three children. "Doesn't look like it," she commented.

Gravis wanted to explain, but she just giggled. "I already know," she said. Then she turned to the others and performed a polite and graceful bow. "Hello everyone. I'm Gravis' mother. I hope you can ignore my direct greeting towards my son. I've just missed him so much."

In comparison to the Opposer, his wife naturally felt very mysterious, beautiful, and powerful. The present beasts didn't doubt her power for a second, especially since they had seen her ability to throw the body of an Immortal around like they were nothing more than a pillow.

The three kids, as well as Orthar, greeted her politely.

WHOOOP!

Then, a table appeared in the middle of the room while everyone was teleported onto some chairs. The four beasts hadn't even known that it was possible to teleport someone against their will. The Opposer also sat on a chair at the table. Apparently, he didn't resist his wife's forceful teleportation.

Gravis felt that it was a bit funny that his father had been moved against his will. His glowering and serious face was still visible for everyone to see. It was like nothing had happened.
