Lightning Is the Only Way

While Gravis was concentrating on creating Weapon Techniques, Mortis left Arc's clearing and went towards the beast territory. Mortis wanted to comprehend the Soft Pure Law as quickly as possible so that Gravis and he could concentrate on the Hard Complex Law. Like this, Gravis' weapon wouldn't be in danger anymore, and Mortis also wouldn't need to use up as many weapons.

Mortis entered the ground and went down as far as possible. He managed to dive deeper than 90,000 kilometers since he was now a Major Circulation Immortal King.

Mortis was using the Law of Graphite's Gravity and the Law of Inferno's Heat to protect himself from the heat and gravity down there. Mortis preferred using lightning, but that didn't mean he couldn't also use all the other Laws Gravis and he knew.

After a couple of days, Mortis arrived in front of the root network and stopped before it.

Right now, Mortis was in his beast form. Gravis was the blueprint of Mortis' entire existence, which meant that Mortis also had a beast body.

However, Mortis preferred the color white over black. Because of that, his beast form was white.

On top of that, there was an additional change.

Mortis only had two arms, while Gravis had six.

Why?

Because Mortis didn't need more. He relied entirely on his lightning, and with only two arms, Mortis could push his entire body weight behind his weapon. In terms of physical power, Mortis would be able to unleash more power with a single attack than Gravis. Well, at least as long Gravis didn't create a saber that could be grabbed with all six of his hands, but that would be stupid.

A powerful sense scanned Mortis.

Then, the root network opened before Mortis.

However, Mortis didn't enter.

Instead, he smirked.

"Narcissus," Mortis said directly.

The sense shook as it looked at Mortis very closely.

"I don't know you," Narcissus said.

Right now, Narcissus felt a bit surprised and annoyed. How did this mere Immortal King learn of its name, and even more, how did this mere Immortal King dare to utter its name?

Usually, Narcissus would have simply eliminated this disrespectful beast, but somehow, Narcissus felt like he would be committing a mistake. For some reason, this small Immortal King felt enigmatic to Narcissus. It was like Narcissus couldn't see through it.

"So, you haven't noticed?" Mortis asked with a smirk.

If Narcissus had a human face, he would be furrowing his brows right now. What was this Immortal King talking about? What couldn't it notice?

Suddenly, Narcissus became shocked.

How was this possible!?

Narcissus had inspected this beast with its level six Law of the Soul, and it had seen no issues.

However, just now, the fluctuations of a Spirit and a Will-Aura appeared.

This was not a beast.
