Chapter 1015 - 1015 – Finding A Way (1/2)
While Mortis was confused, Gravis only glared at him.
Gravis had so many things to say, but he had no idea how he should start.
On top of that, Gravis knew that this Mortis wasn't the same Mortis.
This was the Mortis from the past.
This Mortis hadn't even thought of sacrificing his life.
”You're probably wondering what happened, right?” Gravis asked with a cold voice.
Mortis looked at Gravis with an unsure expression.
In his mind, Gravis had just happily told Mortis that he would cut their emotional connection and that it would only take a second.
Yet, Mortis was somewhere completely else, and Gravis' feelings had obviously severely changed.
”What's going on?” Mortis asked.
Gravis looked at Mortis as he took out his saber.
BANG!
Black lightning appeared on Gravis' saber, but it wasn't his Void Lightning.
It was Death Lightning.
When Mortis saw that lightning, comprehension of the Major Law of Death assaulted his mind.
Mortis immediately knew what this lightning was and how it worked.
Mortis' eyes widened in shock.
The Major Law of Death!?
How!?
However, Mortis wasn't stupid, and he immediately made several connections.
”I died?” Mortis asked with a shaking voice.
He had died.
Mortis had always won his fights, and he had obviously never died.
Yet, now, Mortis realized that he had died in the Gate of Death.
This was the only explanation that made sense.
Then, Mortis looked at Gravis' cold disposition towards him and made another guess.
Mortis narrowed his eyes. ”Have I betrayed you inside the Gate of Death? Is that why you are so angry with me? What, after killing me already, you want to kill me again?”
Gravis gritted his teeth.
”You did betray me alright, but not in the way you are thinking,” Gravis said.
Mortis furrowed his brows.
”Explain,” he said.
Gravis told Mortis of everything that had happened.
”And then you said that you didn't want to be a burden,” Gravis said with gritted teeth.
No matter how much Mortis thought, he just couldn't believe what Gravis was saying.
This didn't sound like him at all!
Sure, he had been nervous about their emotional disconnection, but it wasn't nearly so bad that he would throw his life away.
That was just stupid.
”So, I sacrificed myself?” Mortis asked.
”Yes, you did,” Gravis said. ”Do you know why I'm so angry right now?”
Mortis wasn't entirely sure since all of this was a bit too much to take in.
Mortis only shook his head.
”I'm angry at you, and I'm also angry at me,” Gravis said with a seething voice.
”What, because I wanted to kill myself?” Mortis asked coldly. ”Are you saying I don't have control over my life? Is my life up to your decision?”
Gravis' eyes narrowed further.
”Aren't you an advocate of freedom?” Mortis asked coldly. ”Aren't you specifically inhibiting my freedom by forcefully resurrecting me, even though the other me obviously didn't want that?”
”You fucking idiot!” Gravis shouted.
Mortis narrowed his eyes.
”You know the level six Law of Freedom!” Gravis shouted. ”You know exactly that what you're saying right now is bullshit!”
”Listen, freedom is doing what one wants, right?” Gravis asked with a loud voice. ”You wanted to kill yourself, right? Therefore, you're doing what you want, right?”
”Wrong!”
”Committing suicide became what you wanted because, in your stubborn mind, you couldn't get the actual thing you wanted! You want to be happy! You want to have a colorful life! Chasing that is chasing freedom!”
”Yet, you stubborn idiot didn't even try!”
Mortis didn't like being referred to as a stubborn idiot.
”You didn't even attempt it!”
”You didn't try to get to know others!”
”You didn't try to meet Joyce first!”
”You didn't try to search for love!”
