The mysterious prompts from his cheat displayed in his head countless times, however Grey wasn’t paying attention to them at all. Instead, he was fully concentrated on the Heavenly Law of Tribulation.
The law crystal had taken the shape of thunderous storms, destroying specks of light with each strike.
What did Heavenly Tribulation imply?
What impact did it have on the world?
Heavenly Tribulation was a way for the heavens to challenge and punish those who defied fate.
Everyone had a fate, and if things didn’t play out the way intended, then the grand heavens would awaken and test the one who defied its order.
These usually happened when one underwent a transition to a higher lifeform. Like a 2nd rank evolving into a 3rd rank, a 3rd rank’s lifespan would increase tremendously, allowing them to easily live for a thousand years on average.
Increasing one’s lifespan, wasn’t that changing your fate and completely rewriting it?
The Heavenly Tribulation was used to test them. If they failed, they weren’t worthy to defy fate. If they won, they were worthy and allowed to receive a new fate.
That was Heavenly Tribulation’s role.
It kept things in order, punished those who broke the worst taboo in its book, and tested those who wished to defy fate.
As long as the heavens existed, nothing could escape its grasp. It was the ultimate instrument of order, the supreme judge of destruction that tested all who dared to ascend.
Bzzt! Bzzt!
Outside, Grey’s body began flashing with currents of electricity. The bed instantly crumbled the moment the electricity touched it.
Grey’s eyes shot open with lightning currents flashing inside them.

Following that, Grey’s body shot straight through the roof of the mansion.
Mimi, who was close by, saw this and had a stunned expression on its face as it stared at the crack in the roof. Through the crack, it saw Grey stepping directly on air as dense, colorless lightning erupted from him.
"It’s time for the law and my body to become one," Grey spoke slowly as lightning crackled around him.
This was no ordinary lightning. This was the legendary Heavenly Tribulation. The only thing that could stop it was Nexus energy, there was no other force that could handle its power.
Grey took a deep breath and focused. Everything around him blanked out and he appeared in a pitch-black space. In that space was a ball of current.
This ball of electricity was colorless, yet it possessed great destructive capabilities. Just seeing it would make one immediately kneel under its order.
Grey slowly walked up to it and reached out to grab it. However, it reacted violently and pushed Grey back several steps.
"I cannot grab it normally."
As he said that, Grey immediately formed an idea in his mind.
Purple-black energy surged around him, and a terrifying will erupted from him, painting the entire space in a purple-black hue. A beam of purple light shot straight toward the Heavenly Tribulation. Immediately, as if reacting to the Nexus energy, the Heavenly Tribulation began vibrating violently.
Lightning crackled wildly in the space as it spread everywhere, trying to consume Grey entirely.
However, Grey remained calm. He took a step forward with a composed expression, then another, and another. Before he knew it, he was right beside the source—the origin of Heavenly Tribulation.
With Nexus energy covering his hand, Grey took hold of the law.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave spread out from where Grey stood, the ground shaking slightly from the sheer intensity.
Following that, the colorless lightning began changing. It twisted and warped before turning into a purple-black shade.
Immediately, lightning erupted from all parts of Grey’s body. He was completely submerged in it, forming a glowing ball of crackling purple-black light.
Above the sky, the clouds began reacting violently to the lightning around Grey. Thunder crackled and rain began pouring down as lightning struck the area near him.
Everyone nearby had already taken notice.
"Miss Valeria, it’s coming from Master Grey’s mansion," Valeria’s bodyguard reported respectfully, standing behind her along with another bodyguard.
"That ball of lightning... is that Little Brother Grey?" Valeria exclaimed in shock as she sensed the aura.
There was no need to doubt anything. It was the power of law!
The entire weather was shifting under the manifestation of the law.
"He’s undergoing Law Transformation," the other bodyguard spoke. "A-At middle-stage of first rank!"
"I can see that," Valeria replied, disbelief in her eyes.
Law Transformation!
it was known to everyone within Azrael Corporation that Grey was only a 1st ranker who wasn’t even at late-stage. But nobody disrespected him due to Valeria and kept their respect around him.
But people still talked.
But with this? nobody will talk behind his back again!
"Go protect him. Don’t let the others find out!" Valeria ordered as she looked toward Grey with clear worry.
"Yes!" Both bodyguards responded and vanished. The moment they reappeared, they were right beside Grey. They each took out a formation from their spatial rings, and immediately, the area around Grey distorted and vanished from everyone’s sight.
Inside Grey’s body, pure Heavenly Tribulation coursed through him. Everywhere it passed, transformation followed. It slowly infused itself into Grey’s every cell, granting them a special attribute, before rushing into both his mind and energy, infusing everything with the special properties of the law.
KRAK! Boom!
A deep rolling rumble echoed in the sky. Even with the illusion array in place, everyone heard it.
"Success!" Grey’s eyes shot open as he hovered in the air. "The transformation is complete."
As he said that, purple-black lightning coursed across his body. He took a step forward and punched lightly.
Bzz! Zzt!
The instant he punched, lightning erupted and shot forward, taking the form of a dragon.
Now, he had transformed. Every move he made carried the effects of his law. Additionally, with Law Transformation came the ability to fly. Middle-stage 2nd rankers could fly without spending a single bit of energy. With their law-transformed bodies, they could bend the rules and soar freely.
Early-stage 2nd rankers could fly too, but they needed to consume their own energy to do so.
