"I don't want him to die," Stella said.
Liam and Gravis both looked at her.
"Are you sure?" Liam asked. "Even though he has never directly acted against us, he was still complicit in our suppression."
"I know," Stella said. "However, it was all thanks to him that I have been able to hold out for so long. He was the one that advocated for the fights to be fair."
"Without his protests, Nira might have forced me to consume some kind of poison that weakens my Battle-Strength to get this entire issue over and done with as fast as possible. So, while he has not gone explicitly against everything, he has still helped me by allowing me to fight with my full power," Stella said.
Liam furrowed his brows as he looked at the Nine Elements Sect.
Yes, Herius had helped them, but he had also not gone against all of this.
"No right choice, huh?" Gravis commented.
Stella nodded.
"He only had two choices. Either he protected you and risked his own life, or he went against you and his conscience," Gravis said. "In the end, he didn't want to betray his conscience, but he also didn't want to die. So, he chose a third path. He didn't go against the Sect Master, but he wanted for everything to happen aboveboard, at least. Is that about right?"
"Yes," Stella answered.
When Gravis thought about Herius' situation, he had to sigh.
Wasn't this too similar to his own situation?
Gravis wanted to claim his own freedom and ignore the highest Heaven's will.
Yet, if he did that, he would never achieve his goal.
So, in the end, Gravis was forced to reluctantly follow the highest Heaven's will, even if he didn't want to.
'How can I judge someone when I'm doing the same thing?' Gravis thought.
"It's your decision anyway," Liam said. "If you don't want him to die, it's fine."
Stella smiled. "Thanks, Liam."
Liam only nodded.
"Let's go down," Gravis said as he slowly flew towards the Nine Elements Sect.
