Lightning Is the Only Way

The two of them entered the Gate of Death.

And the effect was immediate.

BANG!

Before Gravis and Mortis could even look at their surroundings, a violent impact hit both of their Spirits.

It was like a sledgehammer had hit their Spirits, severely cracking them.

Then, they felt like they had been thrown into the coldest thing in existence.

However, their bodies weren't freezing.

This feeling of coldness came from a mysterious force that was consuming their Life Energy.

It wasn't the Darkness Element, but something very different.

It was like they had reached the end of their natural life.

Their organs were no longer producing Life Energy, and the remaining Life Energy they had was leaving their body.

There was no Energy in the surroundings.

There was no air.

There was no earth.

There was nothing.

Everything was black.

The cracks in their Spirits slowly grew, and their Life Energy couldn't heal the cracks.

It was like their Life Energy had become useless.

Gravis immediately fell over, his body covered in sweat.

Creating coherent thoughts became more difficult as his Spirit broke down more and more.

Slight cuts slowly appeared all over his body, making Gravis leak even more Life Energy.

This was not a world of the living.

Life Energy didn't belong here.

Everything that used Life Energy didn't belong here.

Life Energy became completely useless, and it was consumed.

Everything that had anything to do with life wasn't allowed to stay here.

Gravis' mind immediately fell into a panic.

'This is way worse than I had anticipated.'

Gravis tried to look at his hand, but he couldn't see them.

There was no light.

Luckily, Gravis' Spirit Sense still worked, but it shrunk rapidly as his Spirit was being destroyed.

'I must comprehend this process of dying!' Gravis thought. 'I need to comprehend the Major Law of Death, or I won't escape!'

Gravis closed his eyes and focused on the process, and the more he watched the process, the more shocked he became.

'I have never felt this force before! It's different than everything I have ever seen!' Gravis thought with shock.

'All the Laws I know have one thing in common.'

'They all work with Energy or by using things created with Energy, like my Will-Aura.'

'Yet…'

'There is no Energy in this force!'

'The very fundamentals are different!'

This was the greatest difference between this force and all the others.

The highest Heaven's Cosmos was built with Energy.

Everything was built with Energy.

Matter was built with Energy.

Souls were built with Energy.

Gravity was built with Energy.

Time was built with Energy.

Space was built with Energy.

Even the very Laws themselves were built with Energy.

Even Gravis' Void Lightning was just a different form of Energy.
