Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis felt nervous.

The highest Heaven would appear right beside him? It was one thing to meet a Heaven, but it was something entirely different when meeting someone on his father's level. This was one of the two beings at the absolute peak of the Cosmos.

Gravis waited for some seconds while nothing happened. Meanwhile, his father started looking over to the side with narrowed eyes.

Clink!

The quiet sound of a cup being moved could be heard, and Gravis saw the third cup levitating seemingly out of its own volition. Then, it angled, and the coffee that poured out of the cup vanished into nothingness.

Obviously, the highest Heaven had already arrived, and it had just taken a sip of the coffee.

Yet, Gravis was unable to see the highest Heaven. He knew that it was beside him, but it was simply invisible to him. However, the fact that it was invisible made it appear only more frightening.

It was one thing to know that one was constantly watched from afar, but it was something entirely different when that mysterious being sat right beside him. Right now, the highest Heaven was sitting just beside Gravis. If he extended his arm, he could probably even feel it.

"Because I don't trust you," the Opposer seemingly said out of nowhere.

Gravis looked at his father, but his father was only looking coldly at the empty spot beside Gravis.

Some seconds passed.

"Better to be prepared and not need it than need it and not be prepared," his father said again.

Gravis realized that his father was speaking to the highest Heaven right now, but Gravis could not hear it. The highest Heaven had probably made a comment to his father about his pose and the fact that he carried his weapon in his hand.

"Because I will tell my son about the Brand," the Opposer said.

CLINK!

The third cup broke in two. Apparently, this so-called Brand was something special. Otherwise, the highest Heaven wouldn't have had such a reaction.

Some seconds passed.

"You were the one that showed that he was willing to go all-in," the Opposer said. "So, prove it. Show me that you honestly mean it and allow me to tell Gravis about the Brand."

Gravis grew more nervous. Yes, the highest Heaven had never shown any indication that it would attack him, but that didn't mean that it couldn't. Rules only worked for so long, and the highest Heaven could break and create the rules as much as it wanted.
