Chapter 651: Avatar (2/2)

Due to Gravis' Will-Aura, he would still be able to win against an Immortal with an Avatar, but as soon as someone wasn't entirely suppressed, Gravis wouldn't be able to dodge or block such an attack.

This also explained why this world didn't allow anyone to ascend without having comprehended a level three Law. If someone hadn't comprehended their own level three Law, they would need to use the Law of Space to create their Avatar since this would be their only level three Law.

Yes, the Law of Space was powerful, but it wouldn't be as useful as another level three Law. One could already teleport and compress space. The only advantage of upgrading it to level four would be that one would be able to compress and widen space further. Yet, the Law of Space had no attacking power while its defensive capabilities were weak.

Additionally, what would be the point of upgrading their space capabilities if everyone could already teleport? On top of that, how hard would it be to upgrade the Law of Space? There had to be a way to upgrade one's Avatar. Gravis refused to believe that the overlords in the highest world ran around with a level three or level four Law as their Primary Law.

This meant that the Avatar could probably be upgraded by including the Primary Law into a more powerful Law. For space, there were only two paths available. One path would be to increase its purity by comprehending the High-Tier Law of Space in the higher world. The other path would be to fuse it with other Laws.

Yet, how difficult was it to fuse space with anything? It had no affinity with any matter, life, or the elements. Gravis guessed that it could probably only be fused with the Laws of Gravity and Time, and comprehending these Laws was very difficult, especially time.

But if one used an element-specific Law as their Avatar, they would have a wide variety of options. For example, fire could be upgraded into a more powerful fire, fuse with the other elements, transform into the Law of Supreme Heat, or create a mixed element. Additionally, upgrading a Fire Law to the fourth level would boost the Battle-Strength of the user to ridiculous degrees.

All these thoughts shot through Gravis' head in an instant. As soon as he had reached the Law Comprehension Realm, the speed of his thoughts had increased exponentially. With him being an Immortal now, his thoughts became even faster.

”I presume if I had already condensed my Avatar, I wouldn't be alive right now, right?” Gravis asked.

”Correct,” Heaven answered. ”My Ancestor wants you to become truly powerful, and if you committed the same mistake again, you would have no affinity with true power.”

Gravis lifted an eyebrow. ”Same mistake again? What do you mean?” Gravis asked.

Heaven turned to Gravis again. ”You have already failed two tests created by my ancestor,” Heaven said. ”The fact that I'm talking to you right now is proof of that.”

Gravis quickly realized what he meant. ”I guess that this test had been to become powerful enough to defeat you?” Gravis asked.

”Correct,” Heaven said. ”You have failed this test, which had been the second one, and now I have been tasked with fixing your inadequacy.”

Gravis gritted his teeth when he heard Heaven's words. ”What was the first test?” Gravis asked.

”Your first test had been to realize your true power and the power of your opponent. Haven't you realized that I had to know all the Laws in this world in order to teach them? Haven't you realized that I must have comprehended at least one level four Law to manage this entire world? Haven't you realized that I would be able to exhibit the full power of the Immortal Realm?” Heaven said.

”All of these things should be warning enough. Every onlooker would have been able to see that there is no way for you to win against me without having comprehended at least one level four Law.”

Heaven looked deeply into Gravis' eyes. ”Confidence and arrogance are only a step away from each other. When you believe in your power while fighting a slightly stronger opponent, your confidence might give you the boost to win. Yet, if your opponent far outclasses you, and you still believe that you will emerge victoriously, you are not confident but arrogant. Haven't you taught these things to your child?”

Gravis felt incredible rage and frustration when he heard Heaven, but he wasn't angry at Heaven.

Gravis was enraged and frustrated at himself. If he had been an onlooker, he would have thought anyone that decided to fight Heaven to be an arrogant idiot. No sane person would choose to fight such an overwhelmingly powerful opponent.

'I'm an arrogant idiot!' Gravis thought with gritted teeth.

'This is exactly what I have taught Aris!'

'I'm a liar!'

'I'm a hypocrite!'
