Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis informed Stella of his new plans the same day.

Stella supported Gravis, but it was still hard for her. After all, two terrifyingly dangerous situations would hit Gravis back to back. First, the Gate of Death, and then, his fight with Arc.

However, it wasn't only Stella that got surprised today.

Gravis also got a big surprise.

"Then, I'm going to ascend," Stella said.

Gravis was taken aback. "What? Already?"

Stella nodded with a sigh. "I would love to continue being with you, but I know that you will always have regrets if you lose your opportunity to become powerful because of me."

Gravis' heart stopped. "That sounds like a breakup," he said.

"No. No!" Stella shouted, quickly waving her hands. "I'm not breaking up with you! I would never want to break up with you! Don't even joke about that!"

Gravis released a sigh of relief when he heard her.

"Then, what exactly do you mean?" he asked.

"Well, in our time together, I was the one that got all the advantages," Stella said. "Since you have comprehended the level seven Law of Emotions, you have been able to help me comprehend several level six Laws. Yet, what did you get in return? Nothing. You already know all the Laws I know, and even if I comprehended a new level six Law, I wouldn't be able to help you comprehend it since my Law of Empathy is too weak."

"Don't say stuff like that," Gravis said with an uncomfortable expression. "Being with you is the only important thing to me. I don't care if you can't help me with Laws."

"I know," Stella said as she embraced Gravis. "But I still feel like I'm taking advantage of you, and I don't want to feel like that."

"You're not-"

"I know," Stella interrupted him. "However, feelings don't always follow logic. You, of all people, should know that."

Gravis had to sigh again when he heard her words.

She was right, sadly.

Why did Emotions have to be so hard?

When it came to others, it was incredibly easy for Gravis to see through their personality.

Yet, when it came to himself and Stella, it was like Gravis was blind.

Gravis knew how to create specific emotions, but it also felt very weird.
