Lightning Is the Only Way

What had been the signal that everything had started?

It had been Orthar.

Orthar had launched an attack on Gravis.

However, the Opposer had quickly intervened and stopped the attack, becoming injured in the process, but at the same time, the Opposer had launched an attack on Mortis.

Of course, Orthar had been prepared, and he used a huge amount of his personal lightning to block the attack.

The Opposer had been injured, but Orthar had lost a lot of Energy.

This was the trade.

None of them had come out on top.

At the same time, Mortis shot at Gravis.

He was now Orthar, and he was crackling with Orthar's lightning.

As soon as Gravis opened his eyes, he acted.

The Death inside his Cosmos clashed with the Energy, reducing the density of both of them.

However, the resulting Brutality was funneled out of his Cosmos and traveled through his human body into his saber.

Gravis had already created his own saber made out of his own Laws and being.

As Brutality washed over Gravis, time seemingly slowed down as Gravis felt infinite Energy enter his being.

While all of this was happening, the highest world also fell into an apocalypse.

All Heaven's Magnates had suddenly turned into pure Energy.

Of course, that included the Economistress.

She had known of her fate.

As soon as her husband and Orthar clashed, she would be converted into Energy by Orthar.

If the Opposer tried to stop that, Orthar would be able to gain the upper hand in the battle, which would result in both of them dying.

Sadly, this was her fate.

Of course, Zero's Essence, Master Linus, Heavenly Senior, the Black Magnate, and even Child of Heaven had also been converted into Energy.

There were no more Heaven's Magnates in Orthar's Cosmos.

The Energy density in the highest world climbed to a level never seen before, but it quickly shrunk again as it got converted into pure power by Orthar.

As Orthar and the Opposer clashed for the first time in forever with their full powers, all the worlds felt the impact.

The lower worlds, middle worlds, and higher worlds were reduced to nothing. Orthar couldn't spare the effort to protect them.

He could only protect the highest world to some degree.

Yet, even the highest world felt its Laws be thrown into chaos as an uncountable number of lives were ended.

Only the strongest Ancestral Gods and Divine Gods managed to survive the impact.

All other life had vanished.

At the same time, Orthar's Cosmos began to shrink rapidly as he converted his reality into pure power.

The attack Orthar had used when Gravis had been a child was nothing in comparison to this clash.

Back then, the Opposer and Orthar had only lightly shoved each other.

This time, they were attacking with the intention to kill.

The devastation between these two incidents couldn't be compared with each other.
