Lightning Is the Only Way

Arc's eyes widened when he heard Gravis' words.

He could survive?

That was possible?

Yet, the more Arc thought about Gravis' words, the more sense they made.

Yes, there truly wouldn't be any reason for the highest Heaven to force the agreement.

Arc had seen that the highest Heaven had taken Gravis' emotions and words seriously in the past. The highest Heaven's conduct regarding Gravis was different than when it communicated with anyone else.

Usually, the highest Heaven didn't care about anyone's feelings. After all, it was the most powerful thing in the Cosmos, and everyone, other than the Opposer, was helpless in front of it.

However, even though Gravis was someone the highest Heaven could kill with a mere thought, it didn't ignore his feelings. The highest Heaven had to consider the Opposer's opinion, but it didn't need to consider Gravis' opinion. According to logic, it still shouldn't care about Gravis' feelings.

Yet, it did.

This meant that the highest Heaven had some plan regarding Gravis in mind that required his support.

This was the only reason Arc could come up with. There wouldn't be any other reason that would make it consider Gravis' opinion.

As soon as Arc saw a chance of survival, his emotions became wild for the first time in forever.

His life could change!

Gravis, Mortis, and Arc waited for some seconds.

"Fine."

The three of them looked to the side.

Someone new had appeared in Arc's clearing.

It was a blonde, middle-aged man with three eyes. He wore white robes, and his hands were behind his back.

He had a neutral expression on his face as he looked at Gravis.

The three of them couldn't feel his Cultivation.

However, Gravis' and Mortis' eyes widened as soon as they saw the new person.

They knew him!

"Orthar?" Gravis asked in shock.

This person looked exactly like Orthar!
