Chapter 1021 - 1021 – Reveal (1/2)

Arc's eyes widened when he heard Gravis' words.

He could survive?

That was possible?

Yet, the more Arc thought about Gravis' words, the more sense they made.

Yes, there truly wouldn't be any reason for the highest Heaven to force the agreement.

Arc had seen that the highest Heaven had taken Gravis' emotions and words seriously in the past. The highest Heaven's conduct regarding Gravis was different than when it communicated with anyone else.

Usually, the highest Heaven didn't care about anyone's feelings. After all, it was the most powerful thing in the Cosmos, and everyone, other than the Opposer, was helpless in front of it.

However, even though Gravis was someone the highest Heaven could kill with a mere thought, it didn't ignore his feelings. The highest Heaven had to consider the Opposer's opinion, but it didn't need to consider Gravis' opinion. According to logic, it still shouldn't care about Gravis' feelings.

Yet, it did.

This meant that the highest Heaven had some plan regarding Gravis in mind that required his support.

This was the only reason Arc could come up with. There wouldn't be any other reason that would make it consider Gravis' opinion.

As soon as Arc saw a chance of survival, his emotions became wild for the first time in forever.

His life could change!

Gravis, Mortis, and Arc waited for some seconds.

”Fine.”

The three of them looked to the side.

Someone new had appeared in Arc's clearing.

It was a blonde, middle-aged man with three eyes. He wore white robes, and his hands were behind his back.

He had a neutral expression on his face as he looked at Gravis.

The three of them couldn't feel his Cultivation.

However, Gravis' and Mortis' eyes widened as soon as they saw the new person.

They knew him!

”Orthar?” Gravis asked in shock.

This person looked exactly like Orthar!

Orthar looked at Gravis. ”Hello, Gravis,” he said evenly.

Suddenly, Gravis' eyes turned left as he noticed something.

Another person had appeared in the clearing, and he also knew that person very well.

”Father?” Gravis said in surprise.

It was the Opposer.

Right now, the Opposer had his black saber in his right hand as he stood to the side between Gravis and Orthar.

There was no longer any reason to remain hidden.

After all, the person that wanted to stay hidden had revealed himself.

”Later,” the Opposer said to Gravis, keeping an eye on Orthar.

Gravis noticed his father's actions and looked at Orthar.

”Orthar, I thought you would become a middle Heaven. What are you doing here?” he asked.

Orthar continued to look at Gravis with a neutral expression.

”My name is Orthar,” Orthar said. ”However, I'm also not completely the being you know as Orthar.”

Gravis furrowed his brows.

”That's the old bastard,” the Opposer said.

Then, Gravis' and Mortis' eyes widened.

First, they had expected Orthar to be some kind of agent sent by the highest Heaven.

However, Orthar was the highest Heaven himself?

”How?” Gravis asked.

”I wanted to get to know you, Gravis,” Orthar said. ”Observation is not always as reliable as experiencing something myself.”

”I created a beast after my own image and with my personality and made him meet you. I wanted to experience your personality first-hand. Of course, that Orthar didn't have my memories. In essence, the Orthar that you met was a younger version of myself,” Orthar said.

Gravis was still in shock as he listened to the highest Heaven.

”After gaining sufficient knowledge, I fused with the Orthar you know and left.”
