Gravis and Arc talked for a couple of hours more until Gravis decided that he should get to Weapon Cultivation.
His lightning was no longer comprised of any Laws, which ant that it could accommodate everything. So, theoretically, Gravis should now be able to use Weapon Cultivation.
Mortis wasn’t inside Gravis’ Spirit Sense range, but that didn’t matter. Mortis was Gravis’ Avatar, and Gravis could always feel where Mortis was. He could even communicate with him from any distance.
Gravis left Arc’s clearing and went to an isolated place where no one else was. Arc’s clearing was gigantic, but in front of the size of the entire world, it was nothing. However, there was still a lot of space for Gravis to go where no one could interact with him.
Gravis arrived near a tree in the forest and sat down. Most of the trees had no Cultivation. They were only normal trees.
SHING!
Gravis retrieved a saber and began thinking as he looked at it.
’I should be able to use Weapon Techniques now, and I should also be able to create a Focus. So, let’s try.’
Gravis thought back to the ti he had created his first Focus and tried using it. However, this Focus was based on Punishnt Lightning, not on Energy or Gravis’ new form of lightning.
This ant Gravis had to start anew.
BZZZ!
Gravis summoned his lightning and looked at it. He knew all its properties, but he hadn’t actually seen it before.
It was black.
When it ca to paint, black was a mixture of all colors, but when it ca to light, black was the absence of colors. His lightning was completely empty. There was nothing in it except for a weird composition of Energy.
Gravis looked at his black lightning for a while as he studied it.
’What kind of lightning is it? Is it even lightning?’ Gravis asked himself.
This kind of lightning had never been seen before in the Cosmos, which ant that it didn’t have a na.
’I should give it a na. Calling it lightning without any Law sounds weird.’
Gravis inspected his lightning so more to co up with a na.
’Let’s call it Void Lightning. After all, void ans that there is nothing, and there is nothing in my lightning. So, Void Lightning sounds appropriate.’
’First of all, I need to see how powerful my Void Lightning is and what it can do.’
Gravis pointed at the mortal tree beside him.
BZZZZ!
A black lightning bolt left Gravis and hit the tree.
Nothing.
Silence.
’It has no offensive power,’ Gravis thought. ’It’s the sa as if I just shoot Energy forward.’
’However, there is one difference. My Void Lightning is faster than Energy. My Void Lightning has lost all the properties of lightning except for speed.’
Gravis looked at his Void Lightning with a complex expression.
’Then, doesn’t that make it a better form of Energy? After all, it can do everything that Energy can, but it is also faster.’
Gravis scratched the back of his head. ’This sounds too good to be true. Usually, advantages have disadvantages and vice versa, but I actually can’t find a disadvantage. It just feels like a better form of Energy without any additional weakness. It even allows to absorb other lightning.’
’There has to be sothing bad about it! I refuse to believe that Void Lightning has no weakness!’
Gravis experinted with his Void Lightning so ti, but he just couldn’t find a weakness. It was just like Energy, but faster.
Even the regeneration of Gravis’ Void Lightning was faster. Instead of slowly being compressed like Energy, it simply consud the Energy with fast speeds, pulling in more Energy from the surroundings.’
BANG!
Gravis used the Law of Divine Lightning and shot at the ground before him. A small hole was created since Gravis used nearly no Energy.
’It even transforms into Divine Lightning instantaneously,’ Gravis thought as he scratched his chin. ’There is no loss in Energy.’
BANG!
Gravis transford his Void Lightning into Inferno and shot a small beam of fire at the ground in front of him.
Gravis’ eyes widened when he saw this.
’I knew it!’ he thought.
CRRR!
Gravis created so tal in front of him, and his suspicions were confird.
’My Void Lightning can easily transform into other kinds of lightning since it is a form of lightning, but as soon as I infuse it with different Elents, it has issues in transforming. Even if my Void Lightning is exactly like Energy, it is still biased towards lightning.’
’When I transford my Void Lightning into Inferno just now, I felt that far more Energy has been used. It would take about 1.5 tis the amount of Energy than normal if I used it with any other Elent.’
Gravis’ expression beca complex. ’However, there’s sothing else. Can that actually be true? I need to test it.’
Gravis pointed towards the lake with his finger.
BANG!
A spear of Graphite shot out of Gravis’ finger and punched through the lake.
Gravis didn’t think for several seconds as he only looked at the place where the spear had hit the water.
’What the fuck!?’ Gravis thought. ’How is that a disadvantage!?’
Creating the Graphite spear had taken far more Energy than normal, but the Graphite spear was also very different from normal.
The Graphite spear had shot into the lake with the speed of lightning.
’No wonder it costs more Energy to use other Elents,’ Gravis thought as he furiously scratched his chin. ’My Void Lightning isn’t adapting itself to the Elent, but the Elent is adapting itself to my Void Lightning!’
’The transford Elent retains the properties of the Elent, except for the speed component. Instead, the speed component will always co from the Void Lightning.’
’Also, I think there’s sothing else.’
BRRRR!
Gravis summoned so Inferno, but instead of shooting it forward, he only looked at it.
White fire was burning on Gravis’ finger. However, it didn’t exactly look like fire.
The Inferno mainly contained itself in a straight shape, but it also warped from ti to ti.
’Sure enough,’ Gravis thought.
In short, this was Inferno in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Gravis summoned a lot of other Elents and noticed that all the other ones were also in the shape of lightning.
The hard Elents like Frost, Graphite, and Core continually warped like they weren’t actually hard. They acted exactly like lightning.
’If Inferno doesn’t have all the properties of Inferno, is it actually Inferno?’ Gravis thought.
’Are these still the Laws of the world? Why does it feel like they have been changed?’
Suddenly, Gravis’ eyes widened.
’Wait, if they are not the normal Laws, but changed Laws, doesn’t it an that they are new Laws?’ Gravis thought as he looked at the different Elents.
’Then, if they are new Laws, doesn’t that an that they are my Laws, Laws that I have created?’
Gravis blinked a couple of tis.
’Isn’t that just like a Focus? A Focus is a self-created Law that allows soone to combine existing Laws in such a way that their strength increases, creating sothing new.’
’Does this an that my Void Lightning is intrinsically already acting as a Focus?’
