Chapter 1199 - 1199 – Brutality (1/2)
For a second, Gravis' mind remained in a battle-ready state, but eventually, his father's words truly entered his mind.
The current Opposer and the past Opposer looked identical.
The only difference was their eyes.
One pair of eyes had been filled with brutality and a disdain for existence, but nothing had been behind that.
It was like that pair of eyes had only acted on instinct. It was like there had been no actual will or personality behind it.
In comparison, Gravis could see the complex thoughts and emotions in his father's eyes.
Gravis finally realized that the fight was over, and he relaxed.
”Argh!” Gravis suddenly groaned as he grabbed the side of his head with his right hand.
After he had relaxed, he noticed that there were holes inside his Will-Aura, his Spirit, and his Realm.
These things wouldn't endanger him, but he would have to equalize the broken parts with the healthy parts.
Gravis' being stretched over the holes and repaired them by becoming thinner. As a result, Gravis felt his Will-Aura, Realm, and Spirit weaken slightly.
BANG!
Gravis and Mortis fell to the eighth level of the Star God Realm.
Luckily, their Will-Aura had not fallen a level.
And that's when Gravis' Will-Aura increased.
Not only had Gravis gone through an extremely long Samsara, but he had also won a fight where he had nearly died, just like Mortis.
His Will-Aura shot through the roof, and Gravis felt that everything in his surroundings became weaker.
BANG!
Eventually, Gravis' Will-Aura stopped at the ninth level of the Ancestral God Realm.
”The pain you've just felt was the result of using Brutality,” the Opposer explained.
”Brutality?” Gravis asked. ”Is that what you called it?”
The Opposer nodded. ”Death cancels out Energy, and Energy cancels out Death. Usually, no additional force would be generated by this cancelation, but if your mind is attuned towards Death, you can siphon a special force out of the cancelation.”
”Energy cannot create this force since Energy can't demonstrate true destruction. True destruction can only occur when Energy completely vanishes, and Energy obviously can't accomplish that.”
”However, Death can harness this peculiar force. You can liken it to two beings exploding and vying for the combined forces of the two of them. Yet, only one of the two beings knows how to shape this new form of Energy.”
”In the end, that being will create an entirely new being with the same mindset of the previous being. You could also call it an aggressive fusion.”
”The resulting force is very similar to Death, but it has a purer form of destruction. Death wants to destroy Energy, but this force, which I have decided to call Brutality, wants to destroy everything. Death is not an exception.”
”You have transformed all of your Energy into Death, and to create Brutality, you ground your Death on your being. The two forces clash, and Brutality gets born. Then, you use that form of Brutality to attack your enemy. However, your being will inevitably receive some damage,” the Opposer explained.
By now, Mortis had also arrived beside Gravis, and the two of them were listening to their father.
”So, that's the source of your power, right?” Gravis asked. ”You grind Energy and Death together in your Cosmos, creating Brutality, which will then be used as your power.”
