Lightning Is the Only Way

"It worked," Mortis said. "The 100,000 God Stones have bought you six days the last time. We can delay it."

"Great, how do we continue?" Gravis asked while sweat ran down his back. As time progressed, it only became worse.

"We need to test something else," Mortis said. "Become a level two Star God."

Gravis looked with shock at Mortis. "That would eat up over three million God Stones!" Gravis shouted.

"You're really becoming stupider when under pain," Mortis commented in annoyance.

"You try being in my place! It's not easy to focus with fucking Sin Monsters munching on your fucking will!" Gravis shouted.

Mortis didn't react to Gravis' comment. "If you are a level two Star God, the Sin Monsters might need longer to consume the pieces they eat. They are probably consuming a set amount of Energy, which will increase with time."

"Right now, one Sin Monster needs one minute to take another bite. If you are a level two Star God, they might need four minutes to take another bite," Mortis explained.

Gravis immediately understood and took out more God Stones.

This would make the pain less frequent!

Gravis quickly consumed enough God Stones to become a level two Star God. Gravis felt his power increasing, but he couldn't feel happy right now.

As soon as the Sin Monsters took their first bite, they started chewing.

And…

Success!

They took four times as long to take another bite.

Gravis released a sigh of relief.

It was impossible to imagine how much relief Gravis felt at this moment.

The bites were truly terrifying.

Mortis nodded. "Consume another million God Stones for another test. Then, feed the Sin Monsters your remaining God Stones."

Gravis had already realized that it was hard for him to make correct decisions under such pain. His Emotions were on the apathetic side, but that didn't protect him from the pain.

Because of that, Gravis decided to simply listen to Mortis.

Right now, Mortis was the one that had a clearer head.

The first Sin Monster ate the 16 million God Stones in an instant before going back to consuming Gravis.

"We need to do three more tests," Mortis said. "First of all, we need to check if the Sin Monsters allow absolutely no one to help you or if they will only stop the powerful Cultivators. After all, the best way to repay the debt is to accrue more Karmic Luck, and that's basically impossible to do if you can't interact with anyone."

"How should I test that?" Gravis asked.

"Wait here. I'll scout the surroundings," Mortis said.

SHING!

Mortis left, and Gravis was left alone.

Gravis activated his Law of Perceived Reality and tried to keep himself hidden. Until now, Mortis had kept the two of them hidden since every bite Gravis endured shook his concentration violently.
