Silence.

For several seconds, no one said a thing.

Gravis' friends kept themselves out of this since this had nothing to do with them.

Mortis looked at Orpheus coldly.

Orpheus had betrayed him, and it hurt Mortis deeply.

"Worthless."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like the entire atmosphere had changed.

These words were spoken coldly and with hate.

Mortis had completely cut off Orpheus from his life.

This betrayal had hurt him deeply, and he had to repay Orpheus for that pain.

One should never forget that, while Mortis' personality had changed a lot, he was still one with lightning.

A betrayal from one of his family members was unforgivable to him.

However, Orpheus was quite clever while apologizing.

He had specifically lowered himself and had shown that keeping the Emotional connection between him and Gravis was important to him.

Severing this connection was enough for Mortis.

If Orpheus hadn't put much value on their emotional connection, Mortis would have found a different way to repay Orpheus for this pain.

One should never forget that Mortis was nice to his friends but absolutely ruthless to his enemies.

If Orpheus didn't feel sufficient pain by severing their emotional bond, Mortis would have grown more powerful until…

He would kill Orpheus.

Mortis was very similar to Gravis but very different in some regards.

However, Orpheus wasn't stupid.

He knew everything about Gravis' and Mortis' lives in the higher world, and he had planned accordingly. He knew that he had to get emotionally invested in Mortis.

Orpheus knew that he had to feel sufficient pain.

Otherwise, he would die.

Could Orpheus kill Mortis?

Yes, he was more than powerful enough.

However, that would bring problems upon problems.
