Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had just been in the middle of comprehending the Law of Graphite's Supreme Cutting when his Laws of Danger and Safety screamed at him.

Someone was attacking him!

BANG!

Two snake fangs bit into Gravis' neck as they injected a ton of Shadow Poison into his veins. An instant later, the entire body of the snake coiled around Gravis as all his bones broke.

There was deep hatred visible in the snake's eyes as it tried to kill Gravis, and its attack was definitely not weak.

This was an Early Minor Circulation Immortal Emperor, someone four levels above Gravis.

"Why?" Gravis transmitted.

"It's you!" the snake transmitted with hatred. "You were the one that ruined the purity of our beasts! You were the one that introduced the manipulation of metal to the beasts! You have ruined everything!"

Gravis scratched his chin as he calmly watched the snake wrestling with itself.

Yes, Gravis had never been hit.

As soon as Gravis' Laws had shouted at him, he activated his Law of Perceived Reality, making it appear like the snake had hit him.

For the last couple of seconds, the snake was biting the air as it coiled around nothing.

Gravis wanted to know why someone had suddenly attacked him, and he quickly got his answer.

While the snake was wrestling with itself, Gravis checked up on his basic Formation Array that told him how long he had been in comprehension.

'A little bit over 10,000 years have passed already,' Gravis thought. 'Huh, a bit longer than I thought.'

Why was Gravis checking the time?

Because he had a suspicion.

'Sure enough, I had my fight against Eran when I was 46,000 years old. Eran was supposed to be Siral's tribulation, but I killed the opponent, which meant that he transformed into my tribulation. Therefore, my longevity has been extended after I won the fight.'

'Right now, I'm about 146,000 years old, nearly exactly 100,000 years after my fight with Eran,' Gravis thought as he watched the snake.

'This is my tribulation.'
