Chapter 714: The Unsolvable Issue (1/2)

After releasing the scammer, Gravis sighed and transformed back into his human form. He also deactivated his Will-Aura, which had still been active during the time he was thinking. The surroundings calmed down, and the eagle-eyed guards stopped paying attention to Gravis. As long as he was not destroying or hurting anyone without their consent, they didn't care.

”You look troubled,” Yersi said in a soft tone as she came closer.

Gravis sighed again. ”This confrontation has given me a lot to think about,” Gravis said solemnly.

Yersi felt a bit nervous, and Gravis noticed.

Pack!

Gravis put his hand on Yersi's scaly head and stroked her for a little bit. ”You don't need to worry about me,” he said with a warm smile. ”I won't just disappear like Orthar. I simply need some time to think about things.”

Yersi felt a bit embarrassed, but she also felt relieved when Gravis reassured her that he wouldn't disappear.

”Gravis, I'm sorry for getting involved,” Jake said as he also came closer.

”It's alright,” Gravis said. ”You couldn't have known about my power. You only wanted to help, and I understand. Maybe I shouldn't have used such an aggressive tone towards you.”

Jake was relieved when he heard Gravis. Jake was far more powerful than Gravis, but Gravis was one of the most important people to Yersi. Jake truly loved Yersi, and if Gravis disapproved of him, there could be consequences for his relationship with Yersi.

”That's good. Thank you,” Jake said.

Gravis nodded. ”Right now, you're not part of the family, but in the future, you might be. Just treat Yersi with honesty. That's all that I want. As long as you do that, you and I will have no problems with each other.”

Jake felt a bit reassured by Gravis' words. He hadn't intended to betray Yersi or anything similar in the first place. This meant that there would be no issues between them.

”I need to think and concentrate on my Laws,” Gravis said. ”We can hang out some other time, but right now, I need to be alone.”

Yersi still felt worried about Gravis. Something wasn't right with him, but she also knew that she couldn't help. Something that stumped even her father wouldn't be something that she could help with. She could only offer her support with his problems.

The three of them said their goodbyes, and Gravis quickly went back to his room. He already had the Virtualization Array for Frost, but he didn't immediately activate it. He simply sat in his room and tried to think of a solution to his problem.

How would he even go about solving this issue?

Every solution Gravis could think of was unfair. Letting his lightning run wild would endanger his life and would suppress his true self, maybe forever. So, this was not an option.

What about comprehending the more powerful Law of Freedom to suppress his lightning? This was also a bad idea. After all, his lightning was also a victim in this case.

If Gravis looked at his lightning like it was another person, right now, it would be like a person that was inside another person's body without any ability to do something. Gravis' Spirit acted as an actualization of the ethereal will of lightning. Thanks to Gravis' Spirit, his lightning was able to think for itself and come to its own conclusions.

The fact that Gravis had been able to reason with his lightning in the past was proof of that. Being able to think but not being able to act or do what it wanted was one of the cruelest forms of Suppression.

Yet, if his lightning left his body, it would be like it died. It would lose access to Gravis' Spirit, and therefore also lose its rationality, personality, and self. This would be no different from death.
