Lightning Is the Only Way

The more the Sect Master heard Gravis talk, the angrier she got.

This was a level one Ancestral God!

Yet, he acted like he was a Divine God that could flatten the Eternal Fire Sect whenever he wanted.

The entire Eternal Fire Sect was nothing in his eyes, and he treated them like insects that had no choice in the matter.

They could only step out of his path or become his enemy.

The Sect Master could accept it if Gravis had the power to fight a level nine Ancestral God. After all, their Ancestor was a level nine Ancestral God, and the strongest person in a Sect dictated the Sect's overall prestige and power.

Yet, he was only a level one Ancestral God!

So what if he could fight a level six Ancestral God? That was still four levels below a level nine Ancestral God!

Someone like that was only equal to a Vice-Sect Master, and a Vice-Sect Master couldn't walk all over the Eternal Fire Sect like they were merely a pebble on their path!

"You're unreasonable," the Sect Master said with a voice that hid anger.

"I am," Gravis answered. "Nearly everyone in the world would believe me to be unreasonable. 99% of all perceptions see me as an unreasonable person."

"However, that doesn't matter. Their opinions don't matter, and their perceptions don't matter."

"Know why?"

"Because no matter how many perceived realities band together, they can't make a dent in objective reality."

"It changes nothing."

"I will do what I want."

The Sect Master was about to say something, but Gravis immediately stopped her.

"This conversation ends now," Gravis said.

The Sect Master's rage immediately exploded.

She was far more powerful than Gravis, but Gravis acted like he was her superior.

She had never been disrespected to such a degree by someone this weak!

"I will meet my friends whenever I want, and I won't pay any reparations for whatever you think I did wrong."

"I will do what I want, when I want."

"Step out of my path or get trampled."

"That's the extent of control you have over this situation."

"And if you decide to remain in my path, I will have no problems with going somewhere else, becoming a level three Ancestral God, and returning to kill you."

"And there's nothing you can do about it," Gravis slowly finished.

Gravis slowly turned around, intending to leave.

At that moment, the Sect Master's mind was going wild with rage and frustration.

Her mind was going through all possible scenarios.

She was confident that she could kill Gravis.

Even if Gravis had such a powerful Battle-Strength, he couldn't possibly escape from someone eight levels above him.

If Gravis took one step, she could take several thousand!

If Gravis had started one calculation, she would have already finished several thousand!
