Lightning Is the Only Way

After a long time, Gravis was finally finished with the Laws. That last part had taken way too much time, but it was necessary.

Then, Gravis focused on the embryo of his small world.

He willed for life to exist.

And life began to exist.

Gravis willed life to take on certain shapes in the beginning.

He had chosen his targets that would increase his power.

However, he would make the life in his Cosmos different from Orthar's Cosmos.

What was Gravis' chosen lifeform?

Black Demons.

Black Demons would become the lifeforms with Spirits, and they would be the lifeforms that would have the most impact on his power in the future.

Gravis made no humans.

Black Demons would become the only sentient beings inside Gravis' Cosmos.

Then, Gravis created the beasts.

However, in comparison to the beasts in Orthar's Cosmos, Gravis didn't allow these beasts to reach a conscious state.

These beasts would only receive a rudimentary ability of communication, and they wouldn't have the intelligence to even comprehend the easiest Laws.

In Gravis' mind, Orthar had gone soft with the beasts. By giving them sentience later, Orthar was wasting Energy while bridging the divide between human and beast.

Not in Gravis' Cosmos.

In this Cosmos, beasts and Black Demons would be separated by an unbridgeable gap of sentience and self-awareness.

However, in exchange, Gravis gave the beasts a far more powerful physical body and a bloodline-based Law comprehension system.

The beasts could consume other living things to further their own Law Comprehension.

Their Law Comprehension and their abilities would fully stem from their own blood. The more Laws their blood had and the more powerful it became, the more the beasts could control the Laws in their surroundings.

The beasts wouldn't know how the Laws worked, but they would gain the ability to use their powers regardless.

With all of that, beasts wouldn't need time to grow powerful.

They would only need battle.

They didn't need comprehension.

Only battle.

Additionally, Gravis gave the beasts an incredible ability to multiply. Powerful beasts would multiply like cockroaches and would quickly become adults.

Of course, the tradeoff for all of that was that Gravis couldn't use the Laws and Will-Auras of the beasts in his Cosmos.
