Lightning Is the Only Way

'I have less than 3,000 years left until Siral goes through his tribulation,' Gravis thought. 'I should be something like 43,350 years old right now, give or take a couple of years. I stopped keeping track of the small years long ago.'

'It's actually unreal. I entered this world when I was just 4,000 years old, but I'm now over ten times as old. It really feels like someone just cut out like 35,000 years of my life or something like that. One second I was young, and the next, I'm super old. I'm even closing in on Meadow's age when I first met her.'

'Additionally, the time dilation between worlds isn't as insane anymore. Over 4,000 years have already passed in the highest world, which means that I have been gone from Yersi's life longer than she has known me.'

'Aris and Cera should already be Immortal Kings. I don't think that they will wait until their tribulation happens to comprehend more Laws. They have always been rather impatient.'

'Actually, there's a very high chance that every single person I know has already become an Immortal King by now, except Yersi due to the time dilation.'

Gravis chuckled a bit. 'However, it's actually a bit funny. All these geniuses from all these stories and legends shoot through their Cultivation like meteors. They become supremely powerful in much less time than anyone else. Meanwhile, in comparison, I take longer than basically everyone else.'

Gravis smirked. 'But it's worth it! I'm not even sure if there's an Immortal King in this world that knows as many Laws as I do. Sure, they might know their level five Laws, but level four Laws? No chance!'

Gravis counted all the level four Laws he knew. 'I know 56 level four Laws! That's insane!' Gravis thought with surprise. 'I entered this world with only five of them! I knew the Hard Pure Law, the Major Law of Suppression, the Major Law of Freedom, the Major Law of Control, and the Law of the Dead World.'

'Ever since then, I comprehended 45 level four Battle Laws, the Major Law of the Elements, and the five Laws of Body Growth.'

'I comprehended 51 level four Laws ever since I arrived here.'

Suddenly, Gravis frowned.

'Is that too much? I mean, one can't have too many Laws, right?'

Gravis scratched the back of his head with a complex expression. 'I mean, it feels a bit like overkill, but how else am I supposed to fight someone five levels above myself? It's only logical.'

'My lightning, Will-Aura, and body already allow me to fight anyone two levels above myself. For three levels, I need some techniques and extra Laws. For four levels, I need to know far more level four Laws than my opponent. Back when I fought Samantha, she had known one, while I had known five. Additionally, I also know a terrifying amount of level three Laws.'

'So, to fight someone five levels above myself, I need to know several level five Laws. I don't know a single one, but I know so many level four Laws that I have nine different elements with the power of level five Laws. I basically already have reached the Law levels of an Immortal Emperor in that sense.'

'Quantity is also a form of quality, right?' Gravis thought as he stopped rubbing the back of his head.

shrugged. 'Well, it doesn't really matter right now. I should get on to comprehending my next Laws. Let's see. I don't have
