Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis stood alone on top of one of the walls of the Heavenly Divine Sect.

He had been standing here for hours, simply looking aimlessly at the horizon.

Gravis was still in shock, and it was difficult for him to accept everything.

He hadn't expected that so many had died.

The feeling of losing his loved ones was not foreign to Gravis, but it was difficult every time.

Especially this time.

"You were her father, right?" a man said to Gravis after approaching him.

Gravis looked over at the person and read his Law fragments.

Then, he wordlessly nodded as he looked at the horizon again.

The man joined Gravis at the wall.

The two of them had never met each other before, but they felt the same thing right now.

Grief.

"She often spoke of you," the man said.

"She did?" Gravis asked absentmindedly.

"Yes," the man answered. "She always said that she didn't regret her choice, but I think that she regretted it a little bit. After she became a Star God, she gained a human mindset, and with it, feeling."

"Yet, so much time had passed, and she never found a good opportunity."

"I think she wanted to meet you again and bury the past," the man explained. "She always talked about how much she hated people running from their emotions, but I think that's because she was hating her past self for her decisions."

Silence.

"You know, I always hated you," the man said.

Gravis didn't answer.

"It was like your existence put an impossible pressure on her. She always wanted to push herself to the top. She always said that she had to overtake you. Every time she achieved something, it never was enough. She always said that her achievements were worthless. After all, you would have already long overtaken her."

"That pressure she put on herself was also extended to me, her husband," the man said. "I always had to listen to complaints. No matter what I did, I wasn't powerful enough. I wanted to spend more time with her. I just wanted to be with her."

"Yet, it never happened. She was fully focused on becoming more powerful. Honestly, I don't even know why she chose me as her husband."

The man took a deep breath.

"But I loved her. I loved her with all my heart."
