Lightning Is the Only Way

Some seconds of silence passed as Gravis calmed down. The past minutes had felt like he stood at the edge of chaos. Just one wrong step and he would stop existing.

"So, what is this Brand?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer looked at his son. "What I am about to tell you will never be repeated again, and you are not allowed to talk about these things with anyone, including your mother. Don't even talk to me about it with a voice transmission after our talk is over since the danger is too great that someone will overhear your voice transmission."

"If anyone ever hears of this, no matter who, they and you will be immediately extinguished by the old bastard. Absolutely no one can hear about this," the Opposer said severely.

Gravis felt like a colossal weight pressed on his entire being. This was obviously something of paramount importance, which the Opposer had never shared with anyone, including his wife. Probably only two beings in existence knew of this thing, and Gravis was about to become the third one.

Gravis took a deep breath and released it. Then, he looked at his father with conviction and nodded. "I will never repeat anything you will say to me during this talk."

The Opposer nodded. "You are only allowed to speak of this when you are directly in front of me and only when I give you permission to. If you handle this incorrectly, you will stop existing. Understood?"

Gravis nodded again. "Yes, father."

The Opposer looked at his son for several seconds.

"Good," the Opposer said. "I will now tell you why it is impossible for a second Opposer to exist."

'Impossible?' Gravis thought. It was one thing that reaching this power was very hard, but straight up impossible?

"This will also explain to you why I specifically targeted the Star Gods back then, and not the more powerful Gods," the Opposer said.

Gravis nodded again.
