Lightning Is the Only Way

The fight Arc had been looking forward to had vanished.

There was no fight anymore.

There was no point in fighting.

In his weakened state, Arc couldn't win.

"Sadly, I can only fight you in my weakened state," Arc lamented.

Gravis snorted.

"If you could use your full power, things wouldn't change. It still wouldn't be a fight. Only the outcome would change. With the Law of the True World, you can probably create 5,000 Arcs, all with their own Spirit. Sure, Mortis and I can do the same thing with our Lightning Fork, but the difference is that we would need to control all of our bodies. Meanwhile, all the Arcs only need to control one body."

"On top of that, your Law of the True World includes the Law of Perceived Reality, which includes the Law of Suppression. Your Law of Suppression would reach the power of a level nine Law, which would suppress all of our bodies."

"This would be an even more one-sided slaughter, but the other way around."

Gravis wasn't stupid.

He knew that he was powerful, and he knew that Arc couldn't beat him in his weakened form.

However, if Arc could unleash all his powers, Gravis and Mortis would be helpless.

If Arc could use the Law of the True World, he would even have the ability to jump one or two levels against Gravis and Mortis.

The Law of the True World was just ridiculously powerful.

The Law of the Dead World would allow Arc to gather a ton of Energy, severely increasing his Energy regeneration. Additionally, all of Arc's Elements would reach the power of level nine Laws, making them immune to Gravis' Law of Sentience.

The Law of Life would allow Arc to create a ton of puppets with their own Spirits and wills.

The Law of Emotions would allow the puppets to think for themselves and make use of their physical powers.

The Law of Perceived Reality would allow these puppets to gain intelligence and Laws. Arc would only need to recreate himself several times since he knew all about himself.

In short, Gravis and Mortis would need to fight a ton of Arcs at once, just with a bit less Energy each, but with way more powerful attacks due to the level nine Elements.
