Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was stunned.

He knew for a fact that Aris had a body that was just as powerful as a normal beast's body. If he had been born with a Spirit, he would have also been born with a weaker body. A Will-Aura required a Spirit to be used, which meant that Aris needed to have a Spirit.

Yet, Gravis would have noticed something like that.

So, how was it possible that Aris suddenly gained a Spirit?

"How does he suddenly have a Will-Aura and Spirit?" Gravis asked Ferris. "The last time I saw him, he hadn't had a Spirit or Will-Aura."

Ferris only smiled at Gravis with excitement. "He ate something," he said.

"Ate something?" Gravis asked in surprise.

"Gravis," Arc transmitted to Gravis. He made his transmission fluctuations obvious to show the others that he was talking to Gravis right now, but he hid the contents to the best of his ability.

"It's possible for humans to get a body as powerful as a beast body, right?" Arc transmitted. "You should have already noticed that Stella's body is more powerful than normal. So, it's only logical that there would be something similar for beasts."

Gravis looked at Arc with furrowed brows. "Sure, but why have I never heard of these kinds of things?" Gravis asked.

"Because I didn't use them in my world," Arc explained.

"Why?" Gravis asked.

"If I created a large quantity of natural treasures that allows humans to get bodies just as powerful as beasts, the humans would overwhelm the beasts. If I created a large quantity of natural treasures that allows beasts to build a Spirit and expand their Energy storage, they would overwhelm the humans."

"If I created both of them, the natural differences between beasts and humans would shrink considerably. At that point, it would be more difficult for the two sides to go to war. The war in my world is based on a difference of species. Other worlds have different reasons for their wars."

"On top of that, you have to realize how much it costs to condense these natural treasures and the benefit they would bring for my Creator. Creating some natural treasures that increase the physical power of humans doesn't cost much Energy. Making something like a physical body stronger isn't that hard."

"However, expanding the Energy storage of a beast costs many times more Energy, and condensing a Spirit takes even more. If the cost of giving a human the advantages of a beast is 1, the cost of giving a beast the advantages of a human would be 10,000. I could give 10,000 humans beast bodies for the Energy I would invest by elevating a single beast to the same level."

"Even more, you have to keep in mind that these changes don't give immediate rewards. None of these changes have any real significance to the amount of Energy the being pulls in. It, essentially, only increases their Battle-Strength."
