Lightning Is the Only Way

The three of them arrived in a tranquil clearing.

Stella and Liam immediately noticed the powerful concentration of Energy in the atmosphere. It was far denser than the density of Energy in the human territory. Only the headquarters of the Peak Sects could compare thanks to all their Formation Arrays that gathered Energy.

Stella and Liam also noticed several beasts and humans talking to each other just a couple of kilometers away.

In this clearing, there was no difference between humans and beasts.

Everyone was just getting along as friends.

After fighting beasts for their entire lives, Stella and Liam found this surreal and strange.

The perception of having a mortal enemy didn't exist in this clearing.

However, their Spirit Senses immediately locked onto a single person.

He was bigger than average, and he had five eyes. His hair was blonde, and the world seemed to revolve around him.

Yet, one thing was different.

Gravis had told them that Arc was very friendly and kind.

So, how come they couldn't see anything of that on him?

Right now, Arc looked with narrowed eyes at Gravis.

Gravis looked back with a raised eyebrow.

"Mortal, doth thou have any idea about the number of lives that had been ended by the hands of thine actions!?" Arc's powerful voice reverberated in the small part of the clearing.

Liam and Stella felt the sheer power of the world gathering around Arc, and they felt that the world was angry.

Gravis had to chuckle a bit. "Why do you talk so weird?"

Arc only glared at Gravis as the atmosphere intensified.

Then, he lifted a hand and pointed at Gravis.

"Mortal, thine actions have gone against the holy decree of Heaven, and thou must pay the just price!"

Stella and Liam became confused and fearful.

Heaven was angry!

Gravis chuckled a bit.

"Daddy! Arc's breaking his promise!" Gravis shouted like an aggrieved child.

The world immediately calmed down as the apocalyptic forces vanished into thin air.

"Dude, chill out!" Arc suddenly shouted in his normal voice as he took a step back. "It was just a prank! No need to involve your father!"

Gravis immediately broke out into loud laughter.

"Oh man, you should have seen your face," he shouted in hysterics.

Arc released a sigh but then also started to laugh loudly.

They were just messing around.

Liam were still taken aback. They hadn't truly met Arc yet, which still made them
