Lightning Is the Only Way

While all the other Heaven's Magnates felt great that one of them managed to ascend, Gravis only looked at everyone with a distant gaze.

So what if their reason for feeling happy was fake?

It was a party of irrelevancy.

It didn't matter anyway.

Peaceful Serenity was gone.

Now, only Gravis and Child of Heaven were left as the strongest Heaven's Magnates.

Child of Heaven acted mysteriously and like he knew more information than the other Heaven's Magnates, but he actually wasn't any different.

All of them had been blinded by Orthar.

As the last person able to rival him, Child of Heaven watched Gravis for a bit. His eyes didn't show animosity or nervousness but neutrality.

Child of Heaven knew that Gravis wasn't interested in his position.

After a while, the other Heaven's Magnates left, leaving only the Black Magnate and Gravis behind.

"You surprised me by quite a bit, kid," the Black Magnate said with a snort.

Gravis didn't look at him and only looked at the ground with furrowed brows.

The Black Magnate had already noticed that Gravis was acting weird. In his mind, Gravis should be exhilarated. He should be smiling the entire time. After all, Gravis had reached his goal, right?

Yet, Gravis acted more like a soldier that knew that his empire was about to be destroyed.
