Lightning Is the Only Way

Stella felt relieved and touched when Liam said these words.

She felt so sorry for him and guilty for leaving him behind.

Yet, she knew that Liam had to find a light of his own.

They would still be very close, but he had to find someone to share a deeper connection with.

Stella pulled Liam aside, and they teleported away.

They needed to have a heart-to-heart.

Gravis looked at the place where Liam had just been with a smile.

He also wanted Liam to be happy.

The relationship between the two of them had been awkward in the beginning, but they had long gotten past that.

Now, Liam was a genuine friend to Gravis.

"I think it's my time, dad," Aris said.

Gravis looked at his son with pride and nodded.

"Your personality has become very stable. You should be able to get through Samsara," he said.

Aris nodded.

Samsara activated.

The first perspective was from Gravis.

Aris saw how Gravis looked over him with worry ever since he had been born, and with his maturity, Aris noticed that Gravis had always loved him as a son.

Even though Aris had been nothing but a mindless animal in the beginning, Gravis had still viewed him as his son.

Something like this wasn't common.

When Aris saw his young self, he nearly died of shame.

He had been so stupidly arrogant back then.

Luckily, Aris' personality was steady enough to resist the onslaught of embarrassing memories.

Aris also saw his master again, and Aris saw how his master viewed him.

His master saw Aris as a younger version of himself, someone that needed help to mature properly.

Even until the very end, Aris' master had looked at Aris with pride.

Aris was doing a great job!

When Aris came to his reunion with his father, he saw how much Gravis had cared for him and how proud he was of him.

Aris felt thankful that he had a father such as Gravis.

In the end, Aris managed to get through Samsara without any significant issues.

On top of the Major Law of Time, Aris also comprehended the Law of Humility and the Law of Empathy.

Samsara had increased Aris' power by a lot, and Aris felt as sure of himself as never before.

When Samsara ended, Aris looked at Gravis with a peaceful smile.

"Thank you," he said.

"I did nothing," Gravis said with a smile. "You did all of this yourself."

Gravis still felt a bit guilty for leaving his son so soon in his life.

Yet, Aris didn't mind.

Right now, he was glad that Gravis was his father.

Aris didn't even glance at his mother, Azure, who was also present.

They were nothing more than companions.

There was no love between them.
