Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis thought about what he had gone through the past 15,000 years.

Orthar said that Gravis had comprehended a Law, and Gravis was sure that Orthar spoke the truth.

Yet, what Law?

Gravis simply thought about everything he had gone through.

The unending pain.

The oppressive stress.

The fear.

The uncertainty.

Everything could be put under one word.

BOOOOM!

And Gravis comprehended the Law!

"Suffering," Gravis said in surprise.

"Exactly, suffering," Orthar answered with a slight smile. "The level eight True Law of Suffering is related to the Law of Apathy and the Law of Suppression. It's one of the very rare Emotional Battle-Laws."

"Emotional Battle-Law?" Gravis asked. "Even the Emotional Laws can have Battle-Laws?"

"They can, but they are rare," Orthar said. "The strongest Battle-Laws are level eight Laws. Only the core Laws can reach the power of level nine Laws. The True Law of Suffering is, therefore, one of the most powerful Battle-Laws in existence."

"Level eight Laws are the most powerful Battle-Laws?" Gravis asked. "Why are there no level nine Battle-Laws?"

"Because the level nine Laws already represent perfection in their category," Orthar answered. "Heavenly Lightning is the fastest, most powerful, most explosive, most efficient lightning. You can't increase the aspects of Heavenly Lightning anymore. It is already perfection."

Gravis blinked a couple of times, but then, one of his eyebrows rose in skepticism.

"What about your lightning?" Gravis asked.

"That's different," Orthar said. "That's my personal weapon, and it isn't exactly normal lightning. My lightning can't be put into my Cosmos since it would disrupt the balance."

Gravis knew that Orthar had a more powerful version of lightning. He had seen it when he had attacked the Opposer back then.

Heavenly Lightning couldn't compare to that kind of lightning.

They weren't even on the same level.

Gravis fell into thought.

Had Orthar told the truth? Would his personal lightning really disrupt the Cosmos?

Well, how powerful was Orthar's lightning?

If it was Orthar's personal weapon, it was probably at least on the same level as the Law of the Cosmos. If it weren't, Orthar wouldn't use his lightning to battle with the Opposer.
