Lightning Is the Only Way

Mortis only looked evenly at Orthar.

"You think I don't have the conviction?" he asked neutrally.

"I don't think, I know," Orthar answered. "Just like every living being in this world, I am your designer, and I can see through all your Laws."

If anyone else had said that, Mortis would only despise their arrogance, but this was Orthar.

Orthar was the literal creator of this entire Cosmos and everything in it.

So, Mortis actually started to doubt his own conviction at this moment.

"However, do not misunderstand," Orthar said with a more relaxed tone. "Your conviction has already become stronger than it has been previously."

Orthar gestured to the hall.

"As you both know, I need more Energy and power to resist your father. If I relax for even a moment, he will drain my Cosmos. Your father doesn't pull the Energy out of the Primordial Chaos like my Cosmos but directly from my Cosmos."

"Theoretically, let's assume I have 100 units of Energy in my Cosmos, and your father has 10. Now, imagine your father absorbing one unit of Energy per one unit of time. If I didn't do anything during that one unit of time, your father would have 11 units of Energy while I only have 99."

"That still doesn't sound that bad, but keep in mind that your father can use Energy in a more destructive way than me. It's not an overstatement to say that if your father had 10 units of Energy and I had 100, we would be of equal power. This means that his 10 units of Energy equal my 100 units of Energy when we compare power."

"Now, if he only absorbed one unit of Energy and reached 11 units of Energy, I would need 110 units of Energy to resist him."

"This means that I have to grow more than ten times as quickly as him."

Orthar narrowed eyes.
