Lightning Is the Only Way

It was difficult for Gravis to comprehend his current situation.

The things Peaceful Serenity was talking about were as far away from the truth as they could get.

Heaven wants allies?

Definitely not!

Gravis knew how Heaven Breakers got their power, and letting someone with so much Energy and power leave their Cosmos would weaken them massively!

Sure, the new Heaven Breaker might repay their previous Heaven, but that was an uncertainty. It relied fully on trust.

Was Orthar a trustful person?

Was Orthar someone that gave others a selfless present just to hope that they might repay him in the future?

Definitely not.

Orthar valued control above everything else!

Everything must be within Orthar's control at all times.

After a while of trying to grasp his current situation, Gravis realized that Peaceful Serenity's thoughts actually weren't absurd.

If one didn't know about the Primordial Chaos and Heaven Breakers, one might actually believe that Heaven wanted allies.

After all, why would Heaven allow them to reach the Heaven Realm if it didn't want them to succeed?

It would just kill them.

Of course, one might still doubt Orthar's sincerity. After all, there were also the three old foggies. They believed that they were destined to die, no matter what they did.

If someone knew all the information, one might believe Peaceful Serenity's beliefs to be ridiculous. However, if one were in the same situation, the chances were very high that they would believe the same thing.

Why?

Ambition and optimism.

If one had strived to reach their goal for their entire lives, the realization that the goal led to a dead-end would be too hard to handle.

It would invalidate their entire existence.

The Heaven's Magnates had worked harder than anyone else to reach their current spot, and that realization would hit them that much harder because of that.

They couldn't accept that, after everything they had invested, they would walk right into death.

There had to be a different reason, right?

Life couldn't be this hopeless, right?

And with no one directly telling them the truth, they were more likely to believe something that was easier to swallow.

As Gravis thought more about this, he realized how terrifyingly effective Orthar's conduct had been.

Orthar was raising valuable crops just to harvest them.

And even more, the crops happily jumped into the sickle.

Peaceful Serenity was the perfect example. She had told Gravis all of the secrets of the Cosmos.

Sadly, these secrets weren't the actual secrets.
