Chapter 790: Attuned to Lightning (1/2)

Gravis created a copy inside his Life Ring and quickly shoved Immortal Stones into it until it reached the Mid Major Circulation Immortal Realm. With this, his Will-Aura was no longer at the peak, and he could go temper himself again. However, now wasn't the time.

His Will-Aura was one thing, but his Laws were a different thing. His Will-Aura wasn't the only thing that allowed him to jump so many levels. Ever since coming to this world, Gravis had only learned the Major Law of Danger and the Law of Safety.

However, he was now four cultivation levels higher than before. His comprehension of Laws was weaker now than in comparison to when he had been an Early Minor Circulation Immortal.

Gravis sat down and closed his eyes while his other body inside the Life Ring took out his World Weapon. These World Weapons were supposed to help someone in comprehending a Focus.

The Gravis in the Life Ring also sat down cross-legged as he put his World Weapon on his legs. Then, Gravis started thinking.

'I need to find a way to pull my ethereal Laws to a material plane. Doing it the other way around would weaken my attacking power severely since the attack would no longer get the power of my body.'

'How do I do it?' Gravis thought as his mind was racing.

Gravis thought for over two days on this issue and found some solutions, but he wasn't sure if they would work and how effective they were.

'Let's try one,' Gravis thought.

In his mind, Gravis started imagining all his Laws of Perceived Reality to combine with the Law of Punishment Lightning. Gravis was lightning, which meant that bringing lightning and the Laws of Perceived Reality onto the same plane would be the most effective way.

Gravis used his entire will and mind to fuse the two planes together. In the beginning, nothing happened, but after some hours, Gravis felt a reaction.

'I can feel my ethereal Laws coming into contact with lightning,' Gravis thought. 'This means that this isn't a dead-end, at least. My lightning is rejecting the Laws, but that means that they are on the same plane, at least. If they weren't, they simply wouldn't interact.'

Several weeks passed as Gravis tried different things.

However, after one month, progress completely halted.

'I can feel that my ethereal Laws have condensed into a physical form. However, as soon as they touch my lightning, they get rejected. As soon as I try to add them to my lightning, my lightning just pushes them away again and even attacks them. Whenever I try this, I lose some Energy and Spirit. It's like they are fighting against each other whenever they see each other.'

'Fusing them is also a no-go since my lightning pushes them away again. My Laws of Perceived Reality don't attack my lightning and try to fuse with it, but my lightning doesn't want to. It's like my Laws carefully approach my lightning, asking it for help, but then just get kicked away with aggression.'

'It's like they are water and oil. They just don't have a common basis for combining.'

'However, they should have a common basis. After all, both Laws belong to me, and both Laws can interact with the physical world now. I should be the common basis between them. My lightning interacts with me without any issue, and my Laws interact with me without any issue.'

'But as soon as I try to combine them inside of me, my lightning just kicks them away. It's like it's saying that the Laws should get away from it and me.'

Gravis opened his eyes and looked at his World Weapon.

'My World Weapon also doesn't help. Using my World Weapon as another me doesn't work either. I thought that it would be possible to infuse my ethereal Laws into my World Weapon and then use my lightning-infused self to interact.'

'Putting my ethereal Laws into my World Weapon works, but as soon as my true self and my World Weapon touch each other, it's like they are no longer the same. It's like two strangers meeting.'

'I mean, it's not like I gained nothing,' Gravis thought with a bitter smile. 'The first step is already complete. After all, my ethereal Laws can now be manifested in physical reality.'

Gravis stood up and concentrated on his saber.

WHOOOOM!

His saber became dark grey and warped the surroundings. This image was very similar to when Liran had created an arrow made out of the Law of Suppression.

In just a couple of weeks, Gravis had been able to do what Liran had been able to do. He was able to infuse his weapon with his Laws of Perceived Reality.

Would such an attack be powerful?

Very!

Could it be used in battle?

No.

Why not?

'As soon as I pull my Laws of Perceived Reality to physical reality, they are no longer in perceived reality. They can only be at one spot at a time. They can only be in perceived reality or in physical reality.'

'A physical attack with my Laws of Perceived Reality would be even more powerful than a Lightning Crescent, but as soon as I ready the attack, my Will-Aura loses all support from these Laws. My Law of Suppression no longer increases the power of my Will-Aura, and my Law of Control can't manipulate my opponent anymore.'

'As soon as I condense my attack, my enemy's Will-Aura will suppress me. Sure, with my Major Law of Freedom, I won't actually be suppressed, but that's not the issue. The enemy's mind will return to normal, and they will be able to take full control over the situation. Their minds would no longer be clouded by my Laws of Perceived Reality. In such a case, evading my attack wouldn't be hard.'

'So, in short, hitting my enemy with this attack is even harder than hitting my enemy with Mortality.'

'However, Mortality is still slightly stronger in destructive effect.'

'In short, as long as I can unleash Mortality, I would have no reason to unleash this new attack since it is just objectively worse.'

'That's why I need to fuse it with my lightning. As soon as my ethereal Laws are inside my lightning, I can increase their speed manifold with my different speed-related Lightning Laws. A short moment without suppression wouldn't be an issue as long as the attack was fast enough.'

'But no matter what I do, my lightning just won't interact with my Laws of Perceived Reality. It just doesn't want to.'

This was how Gravis' mind went about solving issues. He was looking at everything and trying to find connections between them.

Two entire years passed.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge explosion of lightning and grey, warping space appeared inside the Life Ring.

Gravis had managed to combine his lightning with his Laws of Perceived Reality.
