Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had been quite surprised when Manuel had suddenly comprehended several Emotional Laws and then the level seven Law of Emotions.

Something like that wasn't easy, but Manuel's mindset was probably one of a kind.

In a way, Manuel had also sacrificed himself. He had essentially killed off his old personality and created a new one. Manuel had essentially died.

The new Manuel was nearly identical to the old one, but he still had a slightly different personality.

Of course, Gravis kept these things secret.

Manuel probably had his reasons for keeping his power hidden from everyone else.

Maybe this was a scheme to lure in greedy people that thought that Manuel wasn't as powerful?

Everyone asked Manuel about how it was, and Manuel answered truthfully to some extent.

Manuel said that he had changed and that it was nearly impossible not to change after undergoing Samsara.

The best way was to accept one's change.

However, he kept it secret that he had essentially killed and reconstructed himself.

Then, it was time for the next one.

"Let me be the next one," Skye said with a smile. "I feel like I haven't done many things that I regret, and I think I'm a good choice."

Gravis nodded.

Gravis absorbed some God Stones to regain his Energy and unleashed a Samsara at Skye.

Skye went through her life.

Due to her being a beast, she wasn't emotionally moved when she saw her mother again.

However, when she met Gravis, she felt excited and happy.

Gravis was essentially the reason why Skye had become so powerful.

It had all started with him!

Skye also saw how Gravis viewed Skye, and Gravis had viewed her as a dear friend.

Skye had been Gravis' only friend for a large portion of his journey through the lower world.

Sure enough, as time passed, Skye's mindset didn't change very much. Samsara still had a tempering effect on her since going through it was such an ordeal, but it was still manageable.

Eventually, Skye recovered, and she released a deep breath.

Then, she looked at everyone.

"It's such a weird feeling that an eternity has passed for me while all of you had only waited for an instant."

"It feels like I haven't seen you guys in forever," Skye said.

Sadly, Skye had been the only one of Gravis' friends that had gone through her journey alone.

Everyone else had been in groups.

Ferris and Manuel talked with Skye since they knew how it felt. It was easy to talk with someone that went through the same horrifying experiences as oneself.

In a sense, they had to get reacquainted now.

Luckily, Skye had a very approachable and friendly mindset. She was free like the wind, and she enjoyed being with others.
