The topic immediately intrigued Silva. He stopped the gravity and then faced Lily. “You have the laws, but not the element? How does that work?” he asked.
“That’s really simple,” Lily said and got up. She cleaned herself a little since they started talking.
“The law is something above the elements. An element can become a law, but a law can never become an element.
It is a permanent growth that can’t be offset. I was born with the law of time, which means my understanding of the concept of time is way higher than that of my other elements.
Do you know what that means? It means that I can’t use it to create my chaos.
Chaos can only be born when all the elements are merged together in perfect harmony, and for that to happen, there needs to be a balance.
You must master all the elements in an equal amount; then, and only then, can you use the elements to make chaos.
But I have mastered all elements almost equally, and I will not be able to use them to make chaos because they aren’t laws; they are only elements.
Time is already a law, so for me to be able to use it and make it into chaos, I must advance all my elements into laws and then merge those laws to create chaos.
But the chaos birthed from the merge of laws is not the normal type of chaos; it is something referred to as the primal chaos.
The primal chaos is a different type of chaos. It is a chaos that can even destroy destinies and more. That is why to get it, it takes a lot of time and training.
Even with my power, race, and other things, I might not be able to live long enough to actually gain the primal chaos,” Lily finished explaining, and Silva understood her concept.
“I see. But then, I have to ask, why were you able to stand? That gravity should have held you down,” Silva said.
“That is also simple,” Drake said. “It took two things: our own strength and then the use of laws. Remember when I said the domain uses the concept of laws to an extent?
Well, when laws clash, they can repel themselves. Even if the law of the other person has nothing to do with the law of the opponent, and the law of the other person is weaker than that of the other person, it will still have a repulsion effect, no matter how weak.
So when we internally started circulating our laws, we were able to weaken the hold of your gravity, and then we used our strength to do the rest.
Still, the laws within here are all in your control, and that made it a lot more difficult because it is as though we were going against the natural order of things.
And when you go against the natural law, it really fights you and makes life hard,” Drake explained.
“Oh, I see. All this finally makes sense. Drake, what law do you have?” Silva asked.
“Well, the law of Darkness. I have mastered it to the letter,” Drake said.

“Wait, if you have mastered that, shouldn’t you be able to walk without your gear?” Silva asked.
“I can, but it won’t be easy, because what you just asked brings us back to the thing I said about the use of laws to fight against the natural laws.
The sun is a natural law that has been set, and if I use a law to directly fight the sun, I will be under a huge amount of pressure from the laws of this world.
I can only use my laws for things that don’t directly conflict with the laws of this world too much, like in a fight, for instance.
But hopefully, if I grow stronger in the future, I should be able to defy even the laws of nature and do whatever I want,” Drake said.
“I get it. But still, on that, if we kept fighting, who would have won, that is, using my domain alone?” Silva asked.
“That’s not even up for debate. We are at your mercy here. We saw that after fighting you for a bit,” Drake said.
Lily walked behind Silva and patted his shoulder. “You have really become strong.” She smiled and walked past him and then looked back.
“Now let’s go back. We have the whole kingdom waiting for the arrival of their king to his birthday celebration,” Lily said.
Silva nodded, deactivated the domain, and the three of them headed toward the capital to join the celebration.
But deep, deep, deep away in another dimension, an eye watched Silva and all he did this night, even the domain and the fight that happened inside.
When the fight was over and the three left, the eye closed again, vanishing into the darkness.
—
The capital was filled with joyous noises, with people eating and drinking. It was a massive celebration that encompassed the whole capital.
All work was stopped, and everyone had to be either eating or drinking, making merry and dancing.
Silva himself only appeared at the birthday once. Using a broadcast, he spoke to everyone and thanked them for celebrating him.
After that, Drake informed him that Ezra arrived that night and was waiting for him, so Silva headed to the castle to meet with Ezra.
When he got in and took his seat on the throne, Ezra was brought in with his entourage. They all came and bowed to Silva, even Ezra, the king.
“Happy birthday, Lord Silva. The kingdom of Aragon decided to celebrate you how we can, and so we brought this gift to offer to you,” Ezra spoke and stretched out his hand, and one of the men behind him quickly brought a large box.
Ezra opened it up and took out a sword from inside. It was an elegant sword, one well-crafted and infused with several pseudo-cores for channeling magic.
But when Silva saw that sword, his face changed. “Ezra, is this an attempt to betray me?” Silva asked.
“No, my Lord, arghhhhh!” Ezra yelled out in pain and fell to the ground.
