Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis' mind was going crazy. He felt ashamed when he realized that he hadn't achieved everything on his own. It kind of felt… hollow. What was the point of being granted something when he didn't achieve it on his own? Did he even earn all the power he currently had?

Yet, Gravis was incomprehensibly powerful for his Realm. That was an undeniable truth. Gravis had this power, even if a lot of it came from outside. Gravis was the wielder of this power, and he controlled this power.

After a while, Gravis sighed. "You are probably right, but it still feels hollow. I don't feel like I have achieved my power on my own."

"All power feels hollow!" the young man said, his face suddenly transforming into aggressiveness for the first time. "There is only a single person in the entire highest world that has power but is still happy with their power. Everyone else feels the emptiness that power brings, including me."

This was something Gravis hadn't expected. "I don't understand," he said.

The young man turned to someone beside him. The world was still frozen, and this person just so happened to be frozen while looking directly at the young man.

SSHHHH!

Then, the person was immediately turned into dust by the young man.

"Do you see this?" the young man asked. "A life has just been ended. Their loved ones will grieve for the death of this person. Isn't such an emotional impact interesting?"

Gravis thought about it. "Emotions, in general, are interesting," Gravis said.

"No, they are not," the young man said. "Watch," he said.

Suddenly, some dust gathered together at the spot where the person had died.

Whoosh!

And the same person reappeared in the same position. Gravis trembled. Someone had just been resurrected directly in front of him!

"Have I killed this person? Have I resurrected this person? When no one remembers this person's death, has their death ever taken place? Is this still the same person?" the young man asked one question after the other.

These kinds of questions bordered
