"You think I'm fine with this?" the second Gravis asked emotionlessly.

Gravis scratched the back of his head with embarrassment. "I know it isn't much, but it's a start, right?" he said.

"A start, you say," the second Gravis said as he narrowed his eyes at Gravis. "Do you believe I'm truly free in this form?" he asked.

"Not really," Gravis said, "but it's better than nothing, right? Additionally, as long as we comprehend more Laws, we can work on you actually becoming a second being without any connections to me."

Gravis knew that this solution couldn't fully grant the other Gravis freedom. Gravis had only used the Laws of Perceived Reality. With this Law, the second Gravis could gain freedom in perceived reality, but not in physical reality.

True freedom would require the second Gravis to become his own living being. This meant that he required true life, which was obviously not the case right now. Without comprehending the Law of True Life, creating life according to one's wishes was not possible.

Luckily, the body of the second Gravis was made out of Divine Lightning, and Gravis knew the Law of Divine Lightning, which meant that he also knew its composition. Sadly, the issue wasn't the body but the Spirit.

The second Gravis was using Gravis' Avatar as his Spirit. The two Spirits were still intrinsically connected since both of them were part of Gravis. To truly become free, the second Gravis would need to have his very own Spirit without any connection to the current Gravis. This meant that they needed to create a Spirit out of nothing, which required the Law of True Life.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't directly enter your Spirit to overtake the main body?" the second Gravis asked coldly.

Gravis only smirked. "Because your personality exists on the basis of the Law of Divine Lightning."

"So? It's still more powerful than our Law of Perceived Reality," the second Gravis said.

"Yes, but since you inhabit my Avatar, as soon as you merge with me again, I will regain use of my Avatar, which would push my Law of Perceived Reality to the power of a level six Law."

"What do you think? Which one's stronger? A boosted Law of Perceived Reality or Divine Lightning? I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that the Law of Perceived Reality would win," Gravis said.

The second Gravis furrowed his brows as he scratched his chin in thought.

"Also," Gravis added. "I could have just went on to suppress this personality of yours with my Law of Perceived Reality. I would still have use of Divine Lighting, and I could still fully control my Avatar."

"Instead, I gave my own Avatar its own personality. Something that I can fully control is now under the control of someone else. If you want, you can deny me access to all my lightning-related Laws and even disallow me to increase the power of my Law of Perceived Reality."

"In short, you can weaken my Battle-Strength significantly. Being able to hurt me and weaken me is proof of your freedom, isn't it?" Gravis said with a smile. "You can now do whatever you want."

The second Gravis continued scratching his chin in thought for a couple of seconds. Then, he looked at Gravis again. "It's true that you have made some heavy sacrifices to allow me to claim freedom. What do you get out of this?" he asked.
