Lightning Is the Only Way

After thinking about his life for a bit longer, Gravis decided to contact Stella again.

Stella quickly told Gravis that she was still comprehending, and Gravis simply nodded.

Gravis didn't know what kind of Law Stella was focusing on, but she obviously didn't have as much experience in comprehending Laws as Gravis. So, logically, it would also take her longer.

Gravis visited his friends and spent some time reacquainting himself with them. A lot of time had passed again, but rekindling friendship was easier than rekindling love due to the different intensities of the emotions.

By now, basically everyone was already a level nine Star God. Weaker Star Gods became very rare.

When Gravis focused on all these people in Manuel's faction, he felt a bit nervous.

'Every single person in this faction is so powerful that they would serve as incredible tempering for me,' Gravis thought.

'If only one of them decides to attack me, I would have an immensely difficult fight ahead of me.'

'Yet, if two attack, I would definitely die.'

The world had outgrown Gravis.

Gravis was still a level four Star God, and everyone in the faction was a level nine Star God.

Gravis felt a mortal threat from every single member, and it made Gravis feel humbled.

'All of my friends are more powerful than me. A lot of them even have Will-Auras on the level of Ancestral Gods.'

Gravis had become an oddity. He was a level four Star God, and level four Star Gods didn't exist in Manuel's faction.

However, Gravis didn't forget why he was so weak right now.

Gravis had accumulated Laws for a long time.

After Mortis comprehended the True Law of Adamantite's Explosiveness, the two of them will have comprehended a grand total of 17 level seven Laws.

Even more, Gravis had even comprehended a level eight Law.

Right now, Manuel's faction didn't have a single member that knew a level eight Law.

All of them only knew several level seven Laws at most.

Meanwhile, Gravis knew two level eight Laws and one level nine Law.

Even more, Gravis would soon comprehend another level eight Law when he combined all his Battle-Laws into a new Form Law.

Of course, Gravis had become the butt of all the jokes in his friend group.

This was the first time Gravis wasn't the most powerful one out of his friend group.
