Chapter 843: Too Much Time (1/2)

'Let's see. I need the Medium Pure Law, the Soft Pure Law, all the Mixed Elements, the Body Growth Laws, the Body Composition Laws, and the element-neutral Major Laws of Heat and Cold,' Gravis thought.

'The Mixed Elements should be my lowest priority. All these Battle Laws for my Elements only work with the pure forms of the Elements. If I want to boost my Mixed Elements as well, I would need to comprehend the Mixed Elemental Battle Laws. However, Mixed Elements are already pretty rare. There are barely any Law Comprehension Areas for these Battle Laws.'

'Sure, understanding the Composition Laws of the Mixed Elements is not hard, and I can do that myself, but extrapolating all these Battle Laws would take forever.'

'Of course, if I could understand all the Mixed Elements and then understand the Mixed Elemental Law, my Battle-Strength would become insane. The Mixed Elemental Law is a level five Law that would passively boost the power of all my Elements to the power of a level five Law. That's insane.'

'However, that's exactly the problem. It's a level five Law. I haven't comprehended one of those, and I'm absolutely certain that I need some severe tempering to comprehend it. Comprehending the Major Law of the Elements has already taken me three tempering experiences. This one will probably take just as long.'

'Lastly, I would need to focus all my remaining time on these Mixed Elements. This means that I wouldn't be able to boost my Battle-Strength even more in the next 12,000 years or so.'

Gravis narrowed his eyes. 'Siral's eventual opponent is far too powerful. I absolutely need to increase my strength as much as possible until then.'

'So, Mixed Elements are a no-go,' Gravis thought.

'The Soft Pure and Medium Pure Laws would increase my Battle-Strength a little bit since I would be able to create even better armor. Against my eventual opponent, I need to go all out, which means that I will also create shields and armor, even though it's far too expensive. These Laws would help me in that, but I'm uncertain if that's the best way to proceed.'

'The Major Laws of Heat and Cold are pretty powerful, but the Laws of Inferno's Heat and Frost's Cold are just as powerful and cost the same amount of Energy normally. The only advantage that the element-neutral Laws of Heat and Cold have is that they don't need any specific Element to work.'

'Sadly, this advantage is useless to me since I can use all the Elements anyway.'

'So, the Major Laws of Cold and Heat won't increase my Battle-Strength at all.'

'That leaves the Body Laws,' Gravis thought as he scratched his chin. 'If I heal myself with Brilliance, I am using up my Energy. I convert my Energy into Life Energy, which then regrows my body.'

'However, healing myself with the Laws of Body Growth would use up my inherent Life Energy. This means that the healing capabilities of Brilliance and the Laws of Body Growth are not mutually exclusive. I can use both of them for a more efficient way of healing myself.'

Gravis nodded. 'Alright, Body Growth Laws it is!'

Gravis didn't have any significant insights into the Major Laws of Body Growth. Immortal bodies were very different from mortal bodies. It was like their entire Composition was different, which was actually the case since there were higher grade Body Composition Laws.

When someone became an Immortal, their entire body would be reborn. The outside of the body appeared the same as before, but the inside was vastly different. The Laws and Energy moved around in very different ways. The only way to describe the change would be to call it purer.

The weaker Life Laws still worked somewhat on these Immortal bodies, but not nearly as well as in the past. When someone used these lower grade Laws to heal themselves when they were already in the Immortal Realm, it would be like repairing a powerful weapon with mortal tools and methods. Sure, the broken parts could be mended, but it obviously wasn't as effective as it should be.

Gravis took out his saber and began to cut away. Watching a body regenerate and grow was the best way to comprehend the Laws of Body Growth.

Gravis had long since stopped seeing his body as a true part of himself. That notion had died when Gravis had left his old body behind to inhabit a beast body.

When Gravis referred to himself, he was referring to his personality, Spirit, and mind. His body was only a vehicle, tool, and weapon for his mind and Spirit.

The addition of the Lightning Fork also didn't help with that. Gravis could transform into lightning and recreate his body. Wasn't this like creating an entirely new body? After all, Gravis broke down his body into the most essential components and simply made a new one.

On top of that, Gravis theoretically had an infinite number of bodies. He could create new bodies for himself with the Lightning Fork all he wanted, as long as he had enough Energy.

Because of all these reasons, cutting away at his own body wasn't different from dismantling a weapon. So what if it got injured? He could just repair it or make a new one.

Gravis slowly separated different parts of his body depending on what Law he was currently looking at. After that, he let it regrow on its own as he simply watched and analyzed.

Of course, Gravis' Spirit was powerful, and he could keep track of many things at once, which was why he continued creating injuries. Gravis' Spirit was powerful enough to keep watch over all the different injuries on his body.
