Lightning Is the Only Way

A proverbial, oppressive dark cloud hung over Gravis.

He couldn't come into contact with any of the people he liked until the problem had been resolved.

It was like Gravis was cut off from everyone again.

Luckily, this time, Gravis knew that he had a chance to fix the problem. After all, there have been cases of people being able to survive having a Sin Aura.

"Gravis," Stella said urgently. "You should ask Arc if he knows what you need to do!"

Gravis' eyes widened.

Right, he should ask Arc!

Why hadn't he thought of that earlier?

Gravis quickly got out his new communication ring and contacted Arc.

"Arc, I condensed a Sin Aura," Gravis said.

"What's that?" Arc answered.

Gravis was taken aback.

Arc didn't know what that was?

However, Gravis knew that Arc's knowledge and experience were still invaluable. Even if he didn't know what a Sin Aura was, he knew the way Orthar worked far better than Gravis in certain aspects.

Maybe, he could deduce the answer.

Gravis explained the concept of a Sin Aura to Arc.

"I can think of two ways to solve this issue," Arc said.

Gravis was pleasantly surprised. Arc said that he knew two ways to solve this issue.

"What are they?" Gravis asked.

"My Creator never does things without reason or gain. If he wants such Cultivators to die, he would simply kill them directly. He wouldn't need something like Sin Monsters. Even more, if he wanted to kill these people, he wouldn't give them the chance to do more damage before the Sin Monsters arrive."

"This means that the goal of the Sin Monsters isn't to kill you but to force you to pay for your mistakes. I'm not talking about some form of emotional relief when I talk about pay, but about literally paying the world back."

"Gravis, think about what your actions have cost the world and my Creator. What have they lost?" Arc asked.

Gravis knew the answer. "Energy and Karmic Luck," he answered.

"Half-right," Arc answered. "Karmic Luck is simply a method to show how effective you have been at gathering Energy. You gain Karmic Luck by helping people become stronger, which makes them gather more Energy."

"Creating an organization gives the disciples in the organization greater safety and more access to Laws, which will accelerate their growth and will even result in them becoming more powerful than they would have ever become on their own."

"A personal disciple is the same thing. If you take in a mortal as a disciple, and they become a Law Comprehension Cultivator, they would have gathered a lifetime's worth of Energy of a Law Comprehension Cultivator. Without you, they would have died as mortals and would have gathered nearly no Energy."
