Lightning Is the Only Way

The three of them talked about seemingly random things for the next couple of hours. By the end of it, Jake also wasn't sure anymore if this entire dynamic was one of Heaven's schemes or not. The possibility was there, but for Jake, this made no difference. He only needed to look at Yersi to know that everything else was not important. The only important thing was that he had met Yersi.

After their talk was over, Gravis went back to comprehending Core. His conscience regarding his lie had been cleared, and now, he had to deal with his lightning, and for that, he needed power.

The Virtualization Array created more ore, and Gravis went back to comprehending. He was seemingly lost again, but not entirely. The problem with his lightning was always in the back of his head.

After around another hundred years, Gravis understood all the materials he could see. Now, he concentrated on the metal essence going through all the different materials. This was the only thing he didn't understand yet.

Thanks to his understanding of all the different materials, Gravis made incredible progress with the metal essence. He found one connection after the other. Yet, there was still a ton to learn.

BOOOOM!

And after another 80 years, Gravis finally managed to comprehend Core.

Yet, Gravis also had to sigh. "680 years to understand Core, huh?" he muttered to himself. "This is even more than the clerk expected."

Gravis retrieved the Virtualization Array and looked around the ore. In comparison to other Virtualization Arrays, the created ore didn't just vanish. Gravis simply remained standing in this position, looking at the entire mountain as understanding filled his mind.

He knew how all of these ores worked, and he had also seen a lot of connections between the ores. He knew how the different Ores interacted with each other and what attributes were shared among each other.

CRRR!

Gravis grabbed some of the ore and melted it down to create a weapon. He hadn't tried to melt more than one material at a time since this would encroach on the High-Tier Hard Complex Law, which was definitely out of his reach.

Gravis simply played around with the different kinds of ore and mixed them together how he wanted. He only wanted to see what would happen.
