Lightning Is the Only Way

A week passed, and most of Gravis' advisors had left.

Yet, that didn't matter to Gravis whatsoever.

The ones with shaky loyalty had left, and that was good. Oftentimes, internal dissent was a Kingdom's downfall, not external enemies.

Gravis' approach was similar to back when he had raised the River Tribe, but for different reasons.

Back then, Gravis had not suppressed anyone since beasts wanted to gain power more than anything. Suppressing their power would only make them leave.

This time, Gravis let the humans leave because of loyalty issues.

As long as someone was the most powerful, no beast in one's tribe would betray them.

However, when it came to humans, this wasn't the case.

Humans liked to use a lot of schemes to circumvent power and gain an advantage.

Because of that, unity in one's ranks was more important than with beasts.

When a week passed, the thing that Gravis had expected finally happened.

BOOOOM!

Gravis' castle was blown apart, leaving only Gravis on a throne.

The rest of the castle had turned into rubble.

"Would you have ever expected that this day would come?" a young man with a crown said with authority from above Gravis. Two other Unity Realm Cultivators flanked him.

"Yes, I did," Gravis said with a smirk.

WHOOOOM!

Then, Gravis activated his Will-Aura, making it impossible to move for anyone else.

Immediately, the invaders felt like they had committed a grave mistake.

And then?

There was no then.

The three invaders died quickly under Gravis' royal sword.

This hadn't even been a fight.

'Humility, huh?' Gravis thought with a smirk.

'I've used Humility to destroy my enemies.'

'That's what this is all about, right?' Gravis thought.

Over the next couple of days, Gravis' Kingdom annexed the other Kingdom, becoming more powerful in the process.

Sadly, the entire fortune of the other Kingdom was only enough to create one more Cultivator in the Unity Realm.

Well, at least Gravis' Kingdom had two Unity Realm Cultivators now instead of one.

Unfortunately, the trial still continued since Gravis hadn't comprehended the Law of Humility yet.

For the next couple of years, Gravis did his best to use Humility to get rid of his enemies.

Gravis deliberately made his Kingdom look weak, even fooling his own new advisors.

Eventually, another Kingdom had decided to attack them, and Gravis dealt with them just like he had dealt with the previous Kingdom.
