Gravis’ first stop was to understand the Soft Complex materials. He needed to get his defense in order and complete the Complex Laws. Right now, he had enough ti to entirely focus on them. He had nothing to do but comprehend Laws, and this would be the perfect ti to comprehend Laws that required a lot of ti.
Since Gravis had already comprehended the water part of the Soft Complex Laws, the next thing he wanted to check would be the liquid tals and fire. Sadly, Gravis couldn’t find the liquid tals very quickly.
So, he decided to mine.
He dug a hole in the ground and used his Composition Law of the Earth to stabilize it as much as possible so that it didn’t simply collapse.
With his power, digging far into the earth was not hard at all. In no ti at all, he was already several kiloters underground. As he dug further and further down, he felt the gravity around him increase. It was also getting hotter, but none of the two things were an issue for his power.
After digging for 1,000 kiloters, Gravis could really feel the effects of gravity and heat. At this depth, even a Lord would have problems surviving. Yet, he continued digging.
At 5,000 kiloters, even so Kings would have issues surviving.
At 10,000 kiloters, Gravis felt like he was close to his breaking point. The heat warped the surroundings as he was surrounded by a ton of magma. Gravis didn’t really care about the hole and let the magma just flow out in a volcanic explosion. Hundreds of kiloters of the area around the hole were destroyed, but that didn’t matter.
As he reached this depth, he looked around for interesting materials. The magma itself was already an interesting material since it was very different from normal fire or earth. It was like a combination of fire and earth, which interested him quite a bit.
For the next 20 years, Gravis checked out all the interesting materials in the ground. He also found his liquid tal, but it was hard to discern which of the tals was actual liquid tal and which material was simply so hot that it lted.
Yet, in these 20 years, Gravis made quite so headway. In actuality...
BOOOOM!
’Interesting,’ Gravis thought with a smirk. ’So, even magma has a kind of Composition Law. This is interesting indeed. Magma does not count towards any of the Material Composition Laws. Additionally, it also doesn’t count towards any single elent.’
’This material does not conform to any category of Law I know. I wonder how that works?’ Gravis thought as he looked around.
’Well, if it doesn’t fit into any category, it’s probably a new category that I don’t know yet. I think it’s so kind of elental fusion Law, maybe? Though, since I can’t control earth nor fire, it’s hard to find out.’
Gravis scratched his chin but suddenly stopped. ’Wait. There was sothing before that fit that category.’
Gravis’ eyes shone. ’Steam! Steam is also a fusion between water and fire and doesn’t conform to anything. That one Lord with water affinity managed to comprehend it back then and control it. Ferris also managed to comprehend it.’
’Does that an that one only needs to have one affinity of a material that has two or more to control it? If a water affinity beast and Ferris can control steam, a fire affinity or earth affinity beast should be able to control magma. Of course, only if they know the applicable Law.’
Gravis looked at the magma and tried to manipulate it. He couldn’t transform or control it, but he could destroy it with his Composition Law.
Suddenly, Gravis’ eyes widened. He had expected the magma to turn into dust or Energy, but it actually turned into sothing else.
In front of Gravis, for just a split second, he had seen a solitary fire and a rock. Yet, as soon as they ca into contact with the surrounding magma, they turned back into magma.
Whoop!
Gravis grabbed a chunk of magma and returned to the surface. When he arrived at the surface, he summoned the chunk of magma.
BRRRR!
The surroundings blurred as the hardened magma on the surface turned liquid again. This chunk of magma was so incredibly hot that it burned things even kiloters away.
Then, Gravis turned the chunk of magma back into fire and earth.
Now, since there was no magma around, the split parts of the magma stayed.
Gravis could see a violently burning fire to his right and a robust rock to his left. After he saw this, he scratched his chin in thought.
’Hmm,’ he thought. ’I wonder...’
SSSHHH!
Gravis used his Composition Law of Earth and Fire to turn the two components into Energy.
’Sure enough, turning the components back to their base turned them into Energy. So, fire and earth are made out of Energy. Magma is made out of fire and earth. This is insane!’ Gravis thought.
Gravis had thought that magma was simply molten stone. After all, if sothing was heated enough, it would turn into a liquid or gas either way. Magma hadn’t seed remarkable in any way since it was just another state of stone.
Yet, Gravis had been mistaken. Apparently, there was more to the materials than he had thought.
Gravis thought about what he had learned for a while and then thought about the uses that controlling such a Law would bring.
’That’s actually insanely useful for a fire or earth Cultivator,’ Gravis thought. ’Magma isn’t as powerful offensively as fire, and it also isn’t as powerful defensively as earth. Yet, controlling it allows the Cultivator or beast to rectify their weaknesses.’
’Fire has nearly no defensive capabilities. The best it can do is evade or destroy an attack with an attack of its own. Controlling magma would allow the fire Cultivator or beast to create a barrier of magma around them. It would be similar to the earth shield that the Inquisitor has used against , just not as powerful.’
’Earth, on the other hand, nearly has no offense. The only offensive thod that earth has are spires and stones, but that’s about it. An attack with a spire or stone would count as a physical attack, similar to punching or biting soone. Yet, if the spires or stones were replaced with magma, an elental attacking component would be added to the attack, making it harder to defend against it.’
’So, we already have two mixed elents that exist. This probably ans that there are way more,’ Gravis thought.
Then, Gravis looked at the world again as he tried to imagine how a combination of different elents would look like. ’Water and earth make mud. Wind and water probably make so kind of storm. Lightning and water? I actually don’t know. Water and tal? Not sure, but it could be liquid tal, I think.’
’Fire and lightning? Could be maybe so kind of hot lightning or sothing, not sure. Lightning and earth? I think it has sothing to do with charges and unloading, maybe so kind of loaded earth. Wind and lightning could just be a faster version of lightning but with a weaker offense. tal and lightning could have sothing to do with electricity. Fire and wind could be heat.’
’tal and fire make just a heated version of tal. I make that stuff all the ti to forge my equipnt. This probably ans that tal and fire just create sothing that is part of the Hard Complex Law. Earth and tal also sound like they would produce sothing that is part of the Hard Complex Law.’
’What about wood? Wood is a connection between souls. Normally, I wouldn’t have any idea what would happen, but, luckily, I have precedence case.’
’Ferris. Ferris has learned sothing about the soul. The wood elent is also intrinsically connected to the soul. Maybe, with understanding the Composition of the Wood Elent, I can gain insights into the soul and then combine the soul with different elents.’
Gravis continued scratching his chin. ’Speaking of, could it be that the wood elent is a base form of the soul or sothing? The wood elent is very connected to the Life Laws. Maybe, the wood elent is the gateway to learning about complex life, not just simple biological life and Life Energy.’
Gravis frowned. ’I don’t think that the wood elent can be fused with other elents just like that. I probably need to upgrade it to soul first. What about light and darkness? Realistically, I couldn’t imagine anything that could fuse with these two elents. Yet, there may be so very advanced forces and materials that contain the forces of light and darkness.’
’Yet, I’m pretty sure that these forces are beyond my current scope of understanding. They are probably for the future.’
Gravis recounted his thoughts. ’That leaves with eleven level one Laws of potential elental fusions. These are obviously part of the Composition Law category. I just hadn’t been able to see it before.’
’They probably require an understanding of the different elents to truly understand and use them. In the past, I have already theorized that eight of the nine elents would fuse into two level two Laws, which would be the Force Elental Law and Matter Elental Law.’
’Back then, I also theorized that these two level two Laws would make the level three Law of the Elents. Yet, it also seems rather barren. I only need to know two level two Laws to understand a level three Law?’
Gravis’ eyes shone. ’I probably also need the Complex Elental Laws. These fusions are all level one Laws, and with eleven of them at once, I could probably create another two level two Laws. Then, these two fuse with the level two Pure Elental Laws to create the level three Law of the Elents.’
Gravis looked at the ground with fiery eyes. ’Let’s get right to it!’
