Lightning Is the Only Way

Orthar told his story.

He had only been an insignificant octopus at the edges of the world, but when he became a Spirit Beast, he had believed that he had reached the peak of the world. Because of that, he had fathered a ton of children and simply decided to watch other beasts.

This life had dragged on until Gravis arrived one day and opened his eyes to the wider world. After that, Orthar told everyone about the River Tribe and how the Tribe grew with incredible speed until it eventually collapsed into itself. It had grown too quickly.

Then, he told his story about the time between the River Tribe and the death of his backer. Gravis' three kids hadn't really talked much with Orthar inside the Life Ring. Because of that, his story was also a new one for them.

They felt like Orthar's methods were cowardly since he mainly relied on his intellect and scheming, but they also realized that their impression might be misplaced. After all, Orthar was more powerful than them. Power was most important, and since Orthar's path had brought him to his current power, they couldn't doubt it. Yet, it just felt alien to them.

The rest of Orthar's story went over very quickly since he had only stayed in his abyss from then on.

After that, it was Aris' turn.

He told his story very honestly, even insulting his past, arrogant self for his stupidity. The descriptions of his fights were especially detailed.

After Gravis had heard Heaven talk about saving his children's life, Gravis could now see Heaven's hand in some of these fights. For example, Aris once had a feeling about an ambush that he couldn't explain. He just felt like he was in danger even though he hadn't comprehended the Law of Danger at that point. This was one of Heaven's helping hands.

When he became an Emperor, Punishment Lightning came nearly naturally to him. He had decided to visit a Law Comprehension Area for Punishment Lightning out of curiosity but had managed to understand it in only twenty years.

Obviously, the three of them knew why Punishment Lightning came so easily to them.

It was Gravis.

His body was comprised of Punishment Lightning, and since they were his children, Punishment Lightning came very naturally. One could say they were part lightning.

His story also ended when Gravis killed the Tornado Emperor. After that, he and his siblings only comprehended some Laws.
