Lightning Is the Only Way

Zero's Essence's mind went through an unimaginable number of thoughts in just an instance.

She had just saved this Ancestral God's life, and instead of thanking her, he had acted like all of this was only natural.

It was like he knew exactly that she would get involved.

Didn't the guy know that if she hadn't reacted in an instant, he would be dead right now!?

And now, he was grandly talking about control again!?

For the first time, she actually honestly thought about killing Gravis.

It had been an eternity since someone had managed to infuriate her to such a degree!

"If you can't see through an incomparably complex situation, does it mean that no one else can?" Gravis asked with a smirk.

These words irked Zero's Essence even more.

"You are a level one Ancestral God. Your Spirit and your perception are thousands of times weaker than mine," she commented with an icy tone.

"Yet, I know things you don't," Gravis said. "For example, I know that you still haven't realized where my power stems from, which is very unexpected."

"I don't try to comprehend how the minds of insane people work," Zero's Essence scoffed.

Gravis only chuckled. "Have you still not realized your own blindness? All the information is in front of you, but you still haven't managed to combine them into a full picture."

"I can ignore your Will-Aura, which is on the level of a Heaven's Magnate. The level nine Law of Freedom isn't enough. By now, you should also be sure that no one else is helping me."

"Meaning, for some reason, I am able to escape your Will-Aura with my own power. My own Will-Aura obviously isn't as strong as yours."

"So, what can allow me to ignore the suppression of something the True Law of Freedom can't even escape from?"

Zero's Essence only scoffed again. "What? Are you trying to tell me that you know the True Law of Perceived Reality?" she asked. "You are very talented, but you're also only a level one Ancestral God."

Gravis only grinned. "You saw me use the True Law of Freedom when I escaped your cage. You even commented on it."

"Additionally, I've constantly been alluding to the fact that I'm the one in control. I know freedom, but I also know control and suppression. Control alone can't bind someone that knows freedom since control doesn't know freedom. Yet, if you know freedom and control, control knows what freedom does and wants, allowing it to take control over freedom."

"Freedom is relative according to your perception," Gravis added. "You are free in your perception since you can do whatever you want, but I know that, as long as I don't step into the path of your desire, you won't see me as an obstacle."

"After all, I'm not standing in your way."

"I know what you want, which allows me to evade all the directions you might want to go."
