Chapter 601: Soft Complex Is Complex (2/2)

After one year of experimenting with the materials, Gravis had already found out how he could use a Law he hadn't even comprehended yet. This was quite a step forward.

Four more years passed. Three years until the time was up.

Gravis put all the materials away.

Why?

Because he could no longer comprehend anything new. The liquid component of the Soft Complex Law had been dealt with. Now, he needed the gaseous component, which would be air.

He had already learned a lot about air when he had visited the Law Comprehension Area for fire. In that Area, Gravis had seen a lot of different kinds of gasses. Yet, as Gravis thought about it, would the air element actually be the correct element to comprehend gasses?

Air was just that, air. A beast with an affinity for wind wouldn't be able to control smoke or these other kinds of gasses. Yet, fire also wouldn't be able to control them.

'Are these gasses actually element-neutral materials?' Gravis thought. 'Is that even possible?'

Every material Gravis had come into contact with in the past had an element associated with it. The different kinds of Hard Pure Materials all fell under the Metal Laws. The liquid metals also fell under the Metal Laws. Wood, or more accurately bark, was a mixture of water, earth, and the wood element.

Air was obviously the wind element. Water was the water element. Earth was the earth element. Yet, these kinds of special gasses had no direct element associated with them.

'Maybe it's like bark, and it needs several elements to be controlled?' Gravis thought. 'Bark can be dead or alive, and that makes a major difference in terms of element association and control. Living bark is part of a living body, and therefore, doesn't count as a dead material. It would be like blood and muscles.'

Gravis looked over at Meadow. 'Yet, dead bark would have no element associated with it. Meadow can't just make some random piece of bark fly in the air. After all, the wood element doesn't refer to the material wood, but to this weird connection between living beings.'

Gravis scratched his chin. 'So, these kinds of weird gasses are similar to dead wood. Additionally, without any living interference, I haven't seen any kinds of gaseous complex material yet. They only appear if fire or living beings get involved.

'This means I need to also look more at fire if I want to understand the Soft Complex Law,' he thought. 'Obviously, I can't finish this Law in the remaining time. So, let's make the best of the remaining time.'

Gravis looked over at the Lightning Ultimate with a curious gaze.

'My last stop should be the Lightning Laws.'
