Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis' mind started racing as it went through a ton of eventualities.

They were connected? How would that even be possible?

The first person that appeared in Gravis' mind was his childhood friend Stella since they had the same name. This would also coincide with the time Arc had mentioned.

However, even if Gravis gave this Stella the maximum amount of time possible, it wouldn't fit. Assuming that Stella was an Ascender, which she wasn't, it would only add 10,000 years to her potential life. Together with the time Gravis had stayed in the highest world, barely 30,000 years could have passed for this Stella.

Yet, Stella was 100,000 years old. That still left 70,000 years unaccounted for. So, when his childhood friend Stella had been created, this Stella had to have been at least 70,000 years old.

Even if this Stella had been under accelerated time, it wouldn't work. Stella's teacher hadn't known a level six Law, which meant that she couldn't have known the Major Law of Time. So, even if Stella constantly had her time accelerated by two times, it would still leave nearly 50,000 years unaccounted for.

By all intents and purposes, it was impossible for this Stella to be connected to his childhood friend.

So, what did Arc mean?

"Arc, what do you mean?" Gravis asked with furrowed brows. "How could there be a connection between us?"

"I'm referring to your childhood friend, who was also named Stella," Arc said with a smile.

"I thought so, but the times simply don't fit together," Gravis said. "Even if I am very generous with the time, only 30,000 years would have passed for this Stella when my childhood friend had been created. She couldn't have been created after my childhood friend's creation."

"Additionally, the highest Heaven had no idea how powerful I would become in the future. I doubt that it would have immediately created this Stella after that," Gravis explained.

Arc only continued smiling as he drew another line in the dirt. "You're right. It's impossible for this Stella to have been created after your childhood friend."

"However, these two people are still connected," Arc said.

Gravis was going through all possible ways to fit the two together, but it just didn't fit.

Arc saw that Gravis still didn't get it. "If the times don't match up, it means that this Stella has existed before your childhood friend. So, how do they fit together?" Arc asked, giving Gravis a hint.

Gravis fell into thought again, but he still couldn't create a connection between them. Stella had been in this world for her entire life and had never left. This meant that they couldn't have met. They also couldn't be related since his childhood friend had never left the highest world. Additionally, she had only been a young girl.

Arc chuckled a bit. "It's actually funny and ironic that you can't find the solution. After all, you went through something very similar in your past."

'Very similar?' Gravis thought as he thought back to his entire life. Two people that were connected while having different ages and coming from different worlds.
