Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis tried his best to get the answer out of Mortis, but no matter what he did, Mortis only smirked.

Eventually, Gravis tried thinking about any possible Law Mortis might have understood, but that also didn't help much.

That was until Gravis thought about the Emotional Laws.

Gravis quickly noticed that he now knew the level three Law of Calm, and his eyes widened.

Mortis had comprehended an Emotional Law that Gravis was supposed to learn?

That was…

"That's awesome, Mortis!" Gravis transmitted with excitement. "See? I told you that you're not worse than me! You even comprehended a Law that I was supposed to comprehend!"

Mortis only smiled lightly as he lay on the ground.

There was no feeling of envy, jealousy, or anger coming from Gravis.

Gravis was genuinely feeling excitement for Mortis.

'If I were in Gravis' shoes, I would have exploded from self-loathing,' Mortis thought bitterly. 'Yet, Gravis is only excited.'

'Wouldn't I have been the weak one then?' Mortis thought. 'Having such an extreme emotional reaction to something like this means that I feel threatened. Yet, Gravis doesn't feel threatened at all. He doesn't need to feel threatened since nothing I can do feels threatening to his confidence.'

Mortis sighed.

'If only I had noticed that sooner.'

Gravis and Mortis talked some more. They weren't talking about anything important. They were only talking, nothing more.

After a couple of hours, Gravis cut off the connection as he contacted Stella again. This time, Mortis should be stable enough to not get angry.

And, sure enough, Mortis didn't get angry this time.

For the first time, Mortis was actually not resisting the feelings of love Gravis was feeling.

'Love, huh?' Mortis thought as he looked at the sky.

'It feels good.'

Mortis remained silent as he savored these feelings. It was like he was feeling them.
