SSSHHH!

Runes of Laws started to leave Gravis' Spirit. As they touched the outside world, they combined with the inherent Laws of the world and vanished. It was like a drop of white water was thrown into an ocean of black. The drop vanished and scattered as it got absorbed by the world and became part of it.

Gravis felt himself become furious.

However, it wasn't himself that became furious, but his Divine Lightning.

It would not stop until it became Gravis!

SSSHHH!

More runes left Gravis' Spirit, but he still felt himself changing.

His movements became slower as he started questioning himself.

'Is that truly necessary?' he asked himself. 'So what if I change? I'm still me, right?'

'Why do I need to get rid of my lightning? That would be stupid. This is an integral part of my power, and I can't abandon it.'

'How did I even come up with that idea?'

Gravis started to hesitate as the runes stopped leaving his Spirit. Was this truly the right decision?

'Is it truly me that is deciding to stop now?' Gravis asked himself. 'Has my lightning changed me so much that I no longer see an issue with keeping it?'

'Why was I even so adamant about abandoning it?'

'I don't get it,' Gravis thought.

This was the effect of lightning's influence. The speed at which it took over Gravis' Spirit had slowed down, but it still made progress.

Suddenly, Gravis started thinking that it wasn't so bad to keep his lightning.

After all, it gave him immense power.

How would he be able to achieve supreme power without it?

Without noticing it, Gravis' priorities had already started shifting. He was not considering happiness but power.

Suddenly, Gravis frowned.

'Yet, I still want freedom, and my lightning is influencing me. Isn't being able to be yourself part of being free? I want to do what I want and be what I want.'

'But what do I actually want?'

'Power?'

'Yes, I want that pretty badly.'

'Happiness?'

'Sure, sounds great.'

'Freedom?'

'Yes, I think freedom is what I want, and freedom means being myself.'
