Lightning Is the Only Way

As Siral woke up, Gravis could see confusion in his eyes.

As far as Siral knew, he was just about to undergo Samsara. But now, he was lying on the ground.

"Did something happen?" Siral asked as he stood up in confusion.

Gravis sighed.

"Samsara killed you," Gravis answered.

Siral's mind stopped.

Killed him?

He had died?

"But then, how am I here?" he asked in shock.

"Arc deleted all the new memories and restored your old ones. Then, I recreated your personality based on your Law fragments before you underwent Samsara. You are still in the same body with the same Spirit and same mind. We simply repaired you, in a sense," Gravis answered.

Siral still tried to come to terms with the fact that he had died.

"Why did I die?" Siral asked.

"I'm not sure," Gravis said. "I can't watch someone's soul while undergoing Samsara. Arc didn't tell me. I can only make an educated guess, which is that it probably has something to do with your chosen path to power. However, I can't be sure."

Siral didn't speak for a while.

He simply tried to come to terms with everything he was hearing.

"So, I was the only one of the group that died," Siral answered with a lost voice.

"Sadly, yes," Gravis said. "However, you can't put it like that. Everyone in the group has a very powerful and stable personality. Samsara is very destructive, and surviving it isn't easy. Nearly everyone struggled while overcoming it, and they had all been changed."

Siral could understand Gravis' words, but that didn't help him much.

He was still the only one that died to Samsara.

This made him feel inferior to the others.

"Also," Gravis added, "don't forget that you are actually not the only one."

"What do you mean?" Siral asked.

"Joyce," Gravis answered. "Joyce would have died just like you. However, in comparison to her, you actually had a chance of overcoming Samsara. If she undergoes Samsara, her death is basically a certainty."

Siral thought about Joyce.

Joyce had a powerful Battle-Strength, but even she would have died to Samsara.

This thought made it easier for Siral to accept his current situation.

"I can help you undergo Samsara again, but not now," Gravis said. "If you want to survive, you need to think about your life and think about the things you regret. Additionally, I would advise you to wait for at least 200,000 years. Your perception of time needs to be expanded. Otherwise, you will simply die again."
