Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis realized that she had comprehended the True Law of Control, and he smiled.

It definitely wasn't easy to comprehend the True Law of Control, but the Sect Master's mind was already very susceptible towards the Law of Control.

Of course, the Law of Freedom would be a different story.

Manuel's mind was also very susceptible towards the Law of Control, but he still hadn't comprehended the Law of Freedom, even though he already knew all of the other Laws.

Comprehending either one of the Law of Control or Law of Freedom was relatively easy.

Comprehending both of them was nearly impossible.

After all, they were polar opposites.

One was about evaluating all the variables and possibilities and comprehending the entire complexity of the situation, which would give someone insight into what options everyone had and what they could do.

The Law of Control was the peak of complexity.

Meanwhile, the Law of Freedom was literally ignoring everything and doing whatever one wanted to do. Nothing else. That was it.

The Law of Freedom was the peak of simplicity.

Yet, comprehending the True Law of Control was still quite an achievement.

"Surprised?" Gravis asked the Sect Master with a smirk.

The Sect Master was surprised when she heard Gravis' words.

It took her some time to understand what Gravis meant.

"You already know this Law?" she asked.

Gravis nodded. "Yep. How else could I be in control of the situation?"

The Sect Master took a deep breath.

No wonder she had felt like she had had no control over her interaction with Gravis.

Her lack of control hadn't been an illusion but reality.

She realized this now even more than before.

She comprehended the entirety of control, which allowed her to truly see that she wasn't in control.

One would think that knowing more about control would allow one to be in control more, but that wasn't always true. Sometimes, knowing more about control only makes one realize that there was truly no way to be in control of a situation.

The Sect Master also finally realized that Gravis had given her an opportunity to comprehend the Law.
