Female Novel
Chapter 502
In the next few months, Aris and Cera had found another weapon of theirs.
They had both realized that their resistance towards lightning was incredibly powerful. They couldn't absorb lightning like Gravis,but their resistance was astounding. It required lightning on the power of a Lord to injure them. Due to that, they had found a usefor their lightning that other lightning beasts didn't have.
They had developed the same technique as their father. By exploding their lightning on their feet, they could achieve incredibleacceleration and speed. When Gravis saw them use this technique, he felt an incredible feeling of pride radiating out from insidehim.
His children looked very similar to him, and now, they also developed the same technique that he used. Gravis had never felt soproud in anything. The pride he was feeling was even greater than when he had killed the lower Heaven.
‘| think | can understand why Orpheus doesn't search for power anymore,’ Gravis thought, but then, he shook his head. ‘But I'mnot done yet! As soon as they become Lords, | can meet them. When that time comes, | can explain everything to them. Theywill join the Empire, and we will be fighting for the same side. Then, | can focus on my own path of cultivation again!"
Gravis hadn't become a King yet due to him always remaining split. His three bodies were all close to achieving a breakthrougheach. As soon as Gravis gathered all his bodies into one again, he would become a King.
He also knew that, since Heaven saw him as a beast, he would be granted a Law when he became a King. Heaven had forcedhim to go through the restrictions of a beast, so it was only fair that he would also get the rewards. Gravis couldn't imagineHeaven being so petty that it forced him through this rule but decided against rewarding him.
By now, Cera was also able to fight two levels above herself. Yet, in comparison, Aris was already looking at three levels abovehimself. Sadly, there were no Lords inside this area. This seemed incredible, and it was, but it couldn't be compared to jumpinglevels in the Unity Realm.
The body's power doubled in every level below the Unity Realm, but as soon as one progressed in Unity, the power wouldquadruple with each level-up. As Aris was now, when he became a Lord, he would maybe be able to fight two levels abovehimself, but not against other Divine Beasts.
His body would be double as powerful as normal beasts on his level, but even when one considered his already more powerfulbody, a Lord two levels above him would have a body eight times as powerful as his.
If there were a theoretical fourth level for Spirit Beasts, their body would be a little more than five times as powerful as Aris' bodyas a Low-Rank Spirit Beast. Yet, if he were a Lord, a beast only two levels above himself would have a body eight times aspowerful as him. This showed that fighting two levels above oneself as a Lord was more difficult than fighting three levels aboveoneself as a Spirit Beast.
That's where Laws came into play. Laws allowed someone to fight two levels above oneself as a Lord. Without Laws, it would beimpossible. Even Gravis wouldn't have been able to kill the shark two levels above himself without his Punishment Lightning,which was a Law, obviously.
The moray eel in the invasion had proven that Gravis wasn't yet ready to fight someone three levels above himself. Back then,he had needed to rely on the corpses around him to emerge victoriously.
Right now, with his new understanding regarding the Speed Law of Lightning, Gravis would be able to fight a level two King. Yet,for Kings, understanding more Laws became easier as for Lords. When Gravis would reach the Realm of a King, the averagelevel four King might already have understood three to five Laws. This was the progression of Battle-Strength alongside theRealm.
And when Gravis thought that, he smiled. It wasn't because of his thoughts but because of something else.Yersi had returned to area F. She had managed to become a High-Rank Energy Beast again, but it had taken her over a year.
During that year, she had been forced to hide in caves and in the earth to protect herself from the shockwaves of powerful Lordsand Kings fighting. This reminded Gravis of the time he had been transported to outside his home city. Hadn't he done the samething back then?
Yet, this time of danger had done wonders for Yersi. Yersi's sense of danger had been sharpened to an astounding degree.When she fought a Spirit Beast again, she had also managed to perform another technique that Gravis used, which her twosiblings hadn't been able to perform yet.
She was able to pre-dodge.
Her instincts warned her of danger, which allowed her to react to attacks from the enemy earlier than usual. Due to that, shemanaged to emerge victoriously against her opponent. Now, Yersi had also managed to take the first step towards fightingsomeone way more powerful than her.
Some months later, Cera also managed to kill a High-Rank Spirit Beast. When she ate the corpse, she became a Mid-RankSpirit Beast. Aris had been a Mid-Rank Spirit Beast for a while now, and he was close to becoming a High-Rank Spirit Beast.
And then, it happened.Aris and Cera met for the first time.
Both Aris and Cera narrowed their eyes at each other. "Who are you?" Cera asked with a voice transmission. Spirit Beasts couldalready transmit their thoughts to others, which allowed them to talk to each other.
"Aris," Aris answered with confidence. "I'm the overlord of this place. Ever since I've reached my current level, nothing has beenable to keep standing in front of me. Who are you?" he asked.
"Cera," Cera answered with narrowed eyes. Aris' boast had rubbed her the wrong way. "I was just about to say the same thing.Ever since I've reached this level, nothing has been able to stand against me."
Aris huffed. "Do you have any idea how often | have heard that before? The last one that said that to me had been one of thesebeasts with a powerful body one level higher than me. He didn't even stand a chance.”
Cera disliked Aris' arrogant words, but she felt his power. To Cera, Aris truly felt like the most powerful beast she had ever seen,except for these godlike beasts at the edges of this area. To her, Aris felt as dangerous as her first opponent that had been twolevels above her.
"Do you want to fight?" she asked coldly. Aris felt incredibly dangerous to her, but she wouldn't back down from such a fight. Herpride didn't allow her to.
“lam more interested in your appearance," Aris answered as he walked closer. "I've never met someone that looks like me."
"Same thing for me," Cera answered carefully as she kept observing him.

"Interesting," Aris said as he arrived in front of her again. "| guess that means that we are siblings. | can't imagine any otherreason for this dynamic."
Cera looked at the floor with furrowed brows. She hadn't thought of that before. It seemed like Aris had managed to make theconnection earlier than her.
"Yet," Aris said with a more dangerous tone, "| wonder if you have the strength worthy of being my sibling.”Cera narrowed her eyes at him. "Do you want to find out?" she asked.
Aris chuckled a bit. "! will find out," he said as he readied himself to pounce forward. "If you don't prove to be my equal, you willdie today."
BANG!
And Aris charged forward with an explosion of lightning.
