Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis hadn't been so angry in a very long time, and he was sure that it wasn't because of Mortis.

The Nine Elements Sect DARED to suppress Stella!?

The Nine Elements Sect was suppressing the person Gravis loved. Gravis wanted freedom more than anything else, and Stella also knew the Law of Freedom. Suppressing Gravis or his loved ones was one of the worst things that someone could do in Gravis' mind.

However, Gravis was still clearheaded enough to make rational decisions. He wouldn't eliminate the entire Sect just because some people with a high status made some horrible decisions. Gravis would only take revenge on those that actually supported this idiotic decision.

"I feel quite a bit of anger coming from you," Mortis' voice suddenly appeared in Gravis' mind. "That's a nice change of pace for once."

Gravis narrowed his eyes. "Your comments are not helping right now," Gravis answered.

"What happened?" Mortis asked neutrally.

Gravis told Mortis everything about what had just happened and his guesses.

"You won't mind if I make the Nine Elements Sect our enemy?" Gravis asked after telling Mortis everything.

"No," Mortis answered directly. "You obviously have a good enough reason for it. Just because I prefer Joyce doesn't mean that I dislike Stella. She is still one of the very few beings that I would consider a friend. If you didn't take revenge, I would be the one that would."

Gravis was relieved when he heard Mortis' words. Gravis didn't want to implicate Mortis because of his conflict. He wasn't like Mortis, who simply didn't care that much about how his actions affected others. Hearing Mortis' support only strengthened Gravis' resolve.

'I need to plan everything out,' Gravis thought. 'When I win the tournament, the Nine Elements Sect will surely try to twist facts to avoid handing Stella over to me. This means I need to have a way to flee with Stella from the headquarters of the Nine Elements Sect. Luckily, I bought that one emblem from Underworld. Without it, this would be much harder.'

Gravis scratched his chin as he thought. 'The first hurdle will be to appear close to Stella without being noticed. This means that I need to appear more normal. Being able to win against the strongest geniuses in the world with a four-level difference would be too conspicuous. I should increase my Realm first. The Late Major Circulation Immortal King Realm sounds just perfect.'

'I still have 350 years left, which is more than enough. Seems like it's time to pay another visit to the beast territory.'

A cold gleam appeared in Gravis' eyes. 'However, this time, it's not for tempering, but for corpses.'

Gravis teleported away and directly journeyed to the beast territory. It only took him a couple of days.
