Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis remained sitting on his throne alone for several minutes as he just thought about his options.

'I have no idea what I can do better. I've already tried everything, but it just wouldn't work. Yet, there has to be a solution, and it should have something to do with Humility.'

'Humility, huh?' Gravis thought, unsure of what exactly it meant.

Gravis was pretty sure that he had used Humility as well as possible up to now. After all, he had allowed everyone to underestimate him, not showing his power at all.

'Yet, that has also not helped me much. The marauders still killed me. Even fleeing is impossible due to the powerful beasts that surround this area.'

Gravis continually scratched his chin in thought. 'What to do? What to do?'

BANG!

The roof of the castle was blown apart as three Unity Realm Cultivators looked at Gravis from high up.

"Would you have ever believed that this day would come?" the young man in the front asked with an arrogant voice.

Gravis didn't answer as he continued thinking.

Seeing that Gravis hadn't answered, the young man sneered. "Are you denying reality, oh great king?" he said with a sneer. "Do you believe us to be beneath your notice? You might have an impressive Battle-Strength, but you can't fight all three of us at once while still being at the Initial Unity Realm."

Suddenly, Gravis perked up. "What did you just say?" he asked in surprise.

"Are you deaf?" the young man shouted. "I said, as long as you are in the Initial Unity Realm, you can't fight the three of us. So, do the smart thing and capitulate. Don't force us to kill your entire Kingdom."

Then, Gravis' eyes widened in realization.

'I see!' he thought with excitement as he finally cracked another part of the puzzle.

'They think I am in the Initial Unity Realm. However, how is that even possible? My Will-Aura is far stronger, and I'm also at a higher Realm. So, either I should appear as someone without any Cultivation to them or as someone far more powerful.'

'Yet, these guys are not idiots. They wouldn't believe that I am a mortal. In fact, in both cases, they would become incredibly wary of me. After all, this would only show that I'm far more powerful than them.'

'However, even when seeing me, they are still arrogant and believe me to be in the Initial Unity Realm. How would that be possible?'

'The Law of Humility!'

Gravis silently smirked to himself.

'This body already knows the Law of Humility, and it's passively activating it to make it seem like I'm in the Initial Unity Realm.'

But then, Gravis sighed.

'Sadly, I still don't know how I'm supposed to use this to my advantage. After all, I can't control the usage of the Law of Humility. Theoretically, if I had the control, I could just appear like an Energy Gathering Cultivator in front of the Marauders, making them ignore me.'
