While Mortis was confused, Gravis only glared at him.

Gravis had so many things to say, but he had no idea how he should start.

On top of that, Gravis knew that this Mortis wasn't the same Mortis.

This was the Mortis from the past.

This Mortis hadn't even thought of sacrificing his life.

"You're probably wondering what happened, right?" Gravis asked with a cold voice.

Mortis looked at Gravis with an unsure expression.

In his mind, Gravis had just happily told Mortis that he would cut their emotional connection and that it would only take a second.

Yet, Mortis was somewhere completely else, and Gravis' feelings had obviously severely changed.

"What's going on?" Mortis asked.

Gravis looked at Mortis as he took out his saber.

BANG!

Black lightning appeared on Gravis' saber, but it wasn't his Void Lightning.

It was Death Lightning.

When Mortis saw that lightning, comprehension of the Major Law of Death assaulted his mind.

Mortis immediately knew what this lightning was and how it worked.

Mortis' eyes widened in shock.

The Major Law of Death!?

How!?

However, Mortis wasn't stupid, and he immediately made several connections.

"I died?" Mortis asked with a shaking voice.

He had died.

Mortis had always won his fights, and he had obviously never died.

Yet, now, Mortis realized that he had died in the Gate of Death.

This was the only explanation that made sense.

Then, Mortis looked at Gravis' cold disposition towards him and made another guess.

Mortis narrowed his eyes. "Have I betrayed you inside the Gate of Death? Is that why you are so angry with me? What, after killing me already, you want to kill me again?"

Gravis gritted his teeth.

"You did betray me alright, but not in the way you are thinking," Gravis said.

Mortis furrowed his brows.

"Explain," he said.
