Lightning Is the Only Way

Part of physical reality vanished, and Gravis' Lightning Crescent of Death vanished.

What was left?

Grey.

The spot where the Lightning Crescent and physical reality had met had become entirely grey.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, the grey expanded into physical reality, destroying everything around it.

Gravis knew what this was.

The feeling of danger of this grey force was the most intense feeling of danger Gravis had ever felt in his entire life.

It was Primordial Chaos.

The grey force was Primordial Chaos!

It was a mixture of many different forces, including Death and Energy.

It was everything!

It was something and nothing at once!

Gravis hadn't made a hole in the higher world.

No, Gravis had made a hole in the Cosmos!

Gravis had created a hole in the very filter that protected the entire Cosmos from the Primordial Chaos.

Gravis immediately turned around and threw the sphere of his own perceived reality into the distance.

Then, the Primordial Chaos enveloped him before he could do anything.

When the surreal Gravis died, the actual Gravis opened his eyes in the cave near the Gate of Death.

In his hand was a sphere of a part of his own perceived reality.

Everything had just been calm around Gravis, but as soon as Gravis opened his eyes…

All hell broke loose!

An expression of absolute terror appeared on Arc's face.

An apocalyptic killing intent focused on Gravis.

The entire higher world shook as a force of unimaginable power threatened to destroy it.

Yet, this force wasn't the Primordial Chaos.

The Primordial Chaos was a silent killer that simply ate everything it touched.

Only a force that was comprised of an unimaginable amount of Energy could bend the very reality.

A grey tide had appeared in the north of the higher world as it ate everything it touched.

BANG!

Yet, the grey tide stopped moving as it seemingly hit a wall.
