Lightning Is the Only Way

When Gravis remembered his father's words, he could only smile.

"Seems like I've forgotten those words," Gravis said. "However, I would still like to know how you managed to become human again."

The Opposer looked at Orthar. "I can only tell you things vaguely, Gravis," he said while looking at Orthar. "I don't want to give the old bastard any more information than he already has. We are in his Cosmos, which means that I can't tell you anything without him hearing it."

"It's fine," Gravis said. "I only want to know how you became human again."

The Opposer looked at the fake sky in the Heaven's Trial as he remembered the things that had happened so long ago.

"As you know, I have been a pure Manifestation of Death. I had no personality, and I was no human. Just as you've said, the person that had entered the Gate of Death has already died."

"After I became an Ancestral God, things didn't change. I still comprehended Laws and found tempering in tribulations. It also didn't change in the Divine God Realm."

"It didn't even change when I became a Heaven's Magnate, and it also didn't change when I comprehended the Law of the Cosmos. Up until the very end, I was still a pure Manifestation of Death."

"Eventually, after I comprehended the Law of the Cosmos, I decided to create my own Cosmos. Back then, the old bastard didn't publicly execute the people with a kind of lightning tribulation, as he does now. Back then, he got rid of them silently. They all just silently vanished."

"I was pretty sure that he has taken note of me back then already, and to be honest, I can only say that I'm still in existence due to his undying curiosity."

"That's correct," Orthar said as he interjected. "I've noticed you as soon as the Gate of Death manifested. Back then, there were no other worlds, and I managed everything. Something like a Gate of Death wouldn't go unnoticed."

"When you came out of the Gate of Death, I immediately realized what you were. I debated killing you, but I decided against it. As long as I kept a close watch over you, nothing could go wrong. After all, my power was infinitely greater than yours."

"I wanted to know what would happen if someone tried to create a Cosmos with the Major Law of Death as a basis," Orthar added.

Obviously, Orthar was saying these things for Gravis and Mortis.

"As I created my Cosmos, I completely ignored Energy," the Opposer continued. "I filled everything with Death, and I even managed to create life with Death. Everything was created with Death, and I felt that I have become closer with the very concept of Death, even though I was already a Manifestation of it."
