Chapter 843: Too Much Time (2/2)

This continued on in a perpetual cycle since Gravis' Spirit was powerful enough to keep track of so many different things that he didn't need to interrupt the process. Gravis could keep track of all the injuries he could produce in the timeframe between the first injury's creation and regeneration.

Like this, many years passed.

Comprehending these five Laws of Body Growth took far longer than one would anticipate.

Why was that?

Because Gravis didn't know the Major Laws of Body Composition.

Understanding the Composition Laws meant that someone knew the basics of how something worked. If one didn't know the Composition Laws, one could only look at the process without knowing what exactly was happening on a fundamental level.

So, why hadn't Gravis just decided to comprehend the Major Body Composition Laws?

People who had paid attention in the past would know the reason.

The Composition of Gravis' body was very different from the Composition of normal bodies. Normal bodies were made out of Energy, while Gravis' body was made out of lightning.

This meant that destroying and regrowing his own body would only help partially in understanding the Composition Laws. If Gravis wanted to understand the Major Laws of Body Composition without wasting a ridiculous amount of time, he would need to look at someone else's body all the time.

Getting someone else to do that voluntarily was difficult. Additionally, it would throw up a lot of questions about why Gravis couldn't just look at his own body.

Sure, Gravis could use Siral, but the Body Composition Laws were still not his main focus right now. They wouldn't increase his Battle Strength at all. Any dangerous opponent would have a Will-Aura so far above the power of Gravis' Will-Aura due to the level suppression that the Body Composition Laws would become useless to Gravis.

Comprehending the Body Composition Laws with Siral's assistance would help with comprehending the Body Growth Laws but understanding all ten of them would still take longer than just comprehending the Body Growth Laws without the support of the Body Composition Laws.

Gravis' goal was to increase his Battle-Strength as much as possible before his eventual battle. The Body Composition Laws didn't help, which made comprehending them irrelevant for now.

How long did it take Gravis to comprehend all five Major Laws of Body Growth?

Well…

BOOOOM!

'And that's the last one,' Gravis thought with a sigh. 'Finally done!'

'So, how long did it take?' Gravis thought as he checked the timer.

Then, he took a deep breath.

'7,940 years!?' Gravis thought with shock. 'Comprehending these five Laws took nearly as long as comprehending the Battle Laws of Graphite? Man, not knowing the Composition Laws is really putting a damper on things. With the Composition Laws, I would have probably only taken around 4,000 years or so. However, the Composition Laws would have probably also taken around 6,000 years or so.'

'And like that, around 70% of my time has already vanished. It's ridiculous how fast time is passing by now.'

Gravis looked at a random tree with a complex expression.

'This means I'm over 40,000 years old by now.'

'I nearly reached my longevity limit.'
