Nearly half a minute of silence passed as Gravis was stuck cursing Arc while Stella was uncertain on how to proceed.

"So, my mindset is okay?" she asked carefully.

Gravis' head jerked to her as her voice interrupted his frustrating thoughts. "Oh, sure! It's more than okay!" he said quickly. "This mindset is one of the integral parts of making you immune to external interference. To be honest, it has taken a lot for me to understand it myself."

Gravis sighed. "Meanwhile, you understood all of this on your own."

Stella remained silent for some seconds. "Can you tell me about it?" she asked.

Gravis looked with a complex expression at Stella, and Stella quickly gestured that she didn't want to intrude with her hands. "You don't have to if you don't want to," she said. Then, her fingers intersected, and she twiddled her thumbs as she looked to the side. "But I want to know more about you."

Gravis' heart beat faster as his breathing quickened. 'How is she so cute!?'

Gravis quickly shook his head to regain his bearings. "I can tell you some about it, but I have to keep a lot of details secret," he said as he looked at her. "Don't take it the wrong way, but some of my secrets may elicit greed in others."

"I'm not saying that I don't trust you," Gravis said, "but I am saying that I don't trust the people you trust. I can't bet my life on something like this."

Stella completely understood where Gravis was coming from and nodded. "That's okay."

Gravis nodded too.

Then, he told her an abridged version of his meeting with the middle Heaven. Gravis simply replaced the middle Heaven with someone much more powerful than him that was interested in maliciously playing with Gravis. That was kinda true.

After relaying the middle Heaven's words in an abridged form, Gravis told Stella about his encounter with someone incredibly powerful. Of course, this being was the Black Magnate.

"So, in short," Gravis said. "It has required two different, extremely powerful beings to literally punch that truth into me. Without either of them, I wouldn't be able to have this mindset."

Stella combed her hair as she fell into thought. "These two people sound powerful. Can you tell me their names? They should now also be in this world. By the sound of it, they should have already made a name for themselves."

Gravis had a complex expression on his face again. That was why he didn't want to tell Stella much about his past. The reason was questions like these. These were not beings that would reside in a higher world, but since Stella believed that Gravis came from a middle world, it was only logical to assume that these two were now in the higher world.

"Sorry, I can't tell you," Gravis said as he looked to the side. He was not a fan of keeping all of these things secret. He much rather preferred directly telling someone.

However, this world was full of humans, and the humans have already shown their hypocrisy and greed. If Gravis had been as open with his secrets in this world as he had been in the last world, several Immortal Kings would have already kidnapped him.

Gravis was already treading on thin ice with his incredible Battle-Strength. Anything further might motivate someone to become active.

On top of that, Gravis didn't forget the lesson he had learned in the lower world. Back then, Gravis had told Wendy all his secrets without knowing that someone from the Darkness Sect had secretly listened in.

What if Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors were watching him?

What if they had some kind of method to intercept voice transmissions?

"Oh! That's okay! Sorry for asking," Stella said quickly.

"It's okay," Gravis said. "Anyway, that's everything you need to know. I will try to create a situation that might give you insights into the Law you need. You won't notice when these situations appear, which is the tricky part."
