After a couple of days, everyone had basically already finished saying whatever they wanted to say.

Jake went back to work, and Yersi went back to comprehending her Laws. Liam and Aris went to the Myriad Sect and talked things over.

Now, only Gravis and Stella were left.

Gravis rented an apartment in Opposer City, something that didn't even cost a single God Stone. With his current wealth, renting an apartment basically cost nothing.

Gravis and Stella only lay on a beautiful beach in their new apartment, simply looking at the world in front of them.

At least, Gravis was looking forward.

Stella was looking at Gravis as she hugged him.

"I was so afraid," Stella said. "I was scared that you wouldn't return."

Gravis also pulled Stella closer. "I know, and I'm sorry. The Gate of Death had been really dangerous, and I might have died if the old Mortis hadn't decided to stop resisting Death. It pains to me to say, but Mortis' depression saved my life."

"It feels completely wrong to say something like that. After all, Mortis is one of my closest friends, and I'm essentially saying that I benefited from his misery. Yet, even if I don't say it, it doesn't change reality."

"Was he a martyr?" Gravis asked. "In terms of action, yes, in terms of intent, no. However, Mortis had also known that he couldn't survive without me. So, I think he would have sacrificed himself regardless. The only difference would be that he would have asked me to resurrect him."

"It feels shitty and scummy when I think about it. I essentially threw one of my friends into death to save my own life."

Gravis sighed.

"However, on the other hand, we couldn't have known what exactly would await us. Maybe Mortis knew from the very beginning that he could give his life to make me comprehend the Major Law of Death. If he hadn't been in such a dark place, he would have probably tried more things."

"I understand how you feel," Stella said quietly. "Something similar happened to me. After all, my teacher sacrificed her life for me back then. I know this feeling of guilt."

Gravis looked lovingly at Stella.
