Chapter 1011 - 1011 – Future (1/2)

In front of the Gate of Death, three beings stood.

Yet, in Arc's perception, he was alone.

The other two were invisible to him.

”Don't try anything funny,” the Opposer said to the person beside him.

The other person didn't answer.

This was the highest Heaven, and it was looking at the Gate of Death with fascination and anticipation.

It had no idea if Gravis would survive or not.

The chances were overwhelmingly in favor of Gravis dying, but it couldn't be sure.

For the first time, the highest Heaven had no idea if something happened or not.

Why?

Because the area behind the Gate of Death was not inside its own Cosmos.

It couldn't look into it, and it couldn't grasp the full extent of the Force of Death.

Everything that happened inside there was beyond its ability to foresee.

If it cut off the Gate of Death right now from its Cosmos, Gravis wouldn't be able to return.

After all, as long as the Gate of Death was banished from the highest Heaven's Cosmos, even if Gravis survived, he would reappear in the Primordial Chaos.

Gravis would immediately be torn apart if that happened.

The Opposer stood beside the highest Heaven exactly to stop it from doing that.

If it did, the Opposer would destroy everything that he could.

He might even destroy the entire highest world.

He would do his best to destroy the highest Heaven's entire Cosmos.

If he did that, the highest Heaven could probably still survive, but the chances were very high that both of them wouldn't be able to kill each other.

Yet, all the gathered Energy in the last 50 billion years would vanish.

This was true for both the Opposer and the highest Heaven.

Everything would return to how it had been 50 billion years ago.

Because of that, the highest Heaven didn't dare to do anything.

After all, even if Gravis survived, the highest Heaven had an alarming number of other plans to fall back on.

These were the highest Heaven's thoughts.

What about the Opposer's thoughts?

Well, for the first time in the Opposer's life, his perception of what would happen eclipsed the highest Heaven's perception.

The Opposer was 100% certain that Gravis would return, and he was also 100% certain that the highest Heaven wouldn't do anything stupid.

There was literally no doubt in his mind.

Why?

Because he had seen the future Gravis.

However, the future Gravis hadn't appeared in the past yet.

Therefore, Gravis must still exist in the future.

For the first time, the highest Heaven had no idea about the future, while the Opposer did.

He only stood here to fool the highest Heaven.

He only had to act like he knew nothing.

Step!

Suddenly, Gravis reappeared in the cave as he stepped out of the Gate of Death.

The highest Heaven's eyes glittered as it saw Gravis.

He actually managed to survive!

This was the second biggest shock Gravis had ever given the highest Heaven, second only to the time Gravis had become the manifested concept of lightning.

”Now, there are three of us,” the Opposer said to the highest Heaven.

The highest Heaven didn't react as it only looked at Gravis.

SHING!

Then, it vanished.

Nobody knew what it was thinking.

The Opposer also looked at his son, and a smirk appeared on his face.

'Well done, Gravis!' the Opposer thought with pride.

Then, he also vanished.

Arc also looked with shock at Gravis.

Then, he smiled with excitement.

”Congratulations! You did it!” Arc shouted. ”You now know a Law that not even I know!”

Gravis didn't smile as he looked at Arc.

Arc noticed Gravis' emotions.

”I take it your worries about Mortis were not unfounded?” he asked.

Gravis nodded.

”I have once been Mortis, and I had a guess about his feelings.”

”I didn't confront him because I trusted that he would know what to do.”

”Sadly, he still went through with it.”

Arc looked with a complex expression at Gravis. ”So, Mortis killed himself?” he asked.

Gravis nodded with cold eyes.

”I don't know why, but I know that I have a way to resurrect Mortis, even if he dies inside the Gate of Death.”

”Mortis is dead, and I forgot all the concepts of my Avatar. I don't even know what Law I had used as my Avatar.”

”Yet, I know that I have made some preparations to regain that Law quickly and to resurrect Mortis.”

”I don't remember what preparations I have made, but I know I have made some.”
