Lightning Is the Only Way

"You won?" Gravis asked the Black Magnate.

"Of course I won!" the Black Magnate answered with a snort. "You think Sinister Sally can fight me? She always only uses tricks. She always weakens her enemies slowly before their fight to give her a higher chance of victory."

Gravis looked with an awkward expression at the Black Magnate. "Why did you attack the Undying Doctor?" he asked.

The Black Magnate snorted. "Undying, eh? Not so undying anymore, right?" he said with a laugh.

Gravis wasn't in the mood to laugh since something was weighing on his mind.

Why did the Black Magnate attack the Undying Doctor right now?

If it were because of him, Gravis wouldn't feel comfortable. It felt like too big of a favor.

"Tch," the Black Magnate spat when he saw Gravis' expression. "It's not because of you," he said.

"Then, why?" Gravis asked.

"I was supposed to be her opponent anyway. Her longevity would have run out in around three million years, and I was the closest one in power to her. I would have been her opponent regardless. The only difference would have been the time," the Black Magnate explained.

"As I've said, Sinister Sally loves weakening her opponents. I've already seen how her sinister claws had started to extend towards me. She made my life harder through several means. Old friends suddenly didn't want to talk to me as much. Other Heaven's Magnates suddenly started talking in an even more depressing manner."

"She was trying to sap me of my motivation to continue living. In her mind, I would have spent the remainder of my life resisting these influences, which would have slowly weakened me by a bit. However, a bit could already make the difference between life and death."

"So, instead of waiting, I decided to fight her right now. I'm not fighting her on her terms but on my terms. Also, I've always hated these false, hypocritical assholes," the Black Magnate ranted.

Gravis was relieved when he heard the Black Magnate's words, but he also knew that he had been somewhat involved in today's fight. "Thank you regardless," Gravis said.

"You better thank me," the Black Magnate said with another snort. "Sinister Sally's fan club would have hounded you for the next three million years."

Suddenly, the Black Magnate looked at Eve.
