1135  No Need Of Humility If You’re The Strongest

Evure God Clan.

Under the bright silver moonlight, three silverheads with red eyes sat around a bronze round table. All three had overbearing auras and the pressure emanating from them was enough to crush a thousand cities filled with Emperor Ranks and below. All three of them were veiled or had their faces covered. Their lush silver hair spilled behind the chair and on the floor. They did not care about it. "The three greats, they say." One of them, having a cross earring in one of her pointy ears, said. "Fufufu… it sure sounds grand." The second lady around the table said with a gentle chuckle. Her unique feature was her gentle demeanor and a bright red hairpin stuck in her roughly made bun. "How do you feel to be a part of it, Isa?" The lady with a cross earring asked. Isa, Roy's sister, and one of the three greats, shook her head and calmly answered, "Titles don't mean anything if there's no strength to back it up."

Isa was the weakest among the three greats. She was stronger than everyone, but not strong enough to compete with these two ladies around the table. "There you go, bringing yourself down once again." The lady with the cross earring said. She nudged Isa's shoulder and continued, "You have the qualifications and there's a reason why you're one of us. Don't put yourself down like this every time."

Isa didn't answer and took a sip of tea. "Isa has a lot of humility. Unbefitting a Evure." The lady with the gentle demeanor answered with a smile. "Humility is shown by those who do not possess the necessary strength to back themselves. They stay humble so as to not attract trouble because there's some people they cannot afford to offend."

The lady with the cross earring nodded her head and added, "But us? We are different. There's no one in Shen Ze that we cannot defeat. We are the rulers of this place. Everyone and everything bends as per our wishes."

Isa was starting to get concerned once she heard those words. For reasons unknown, they felt really ominous. "Seniors, a bit of humility has never hurt anyone." Isa added. "We may never know from where a certain carp leaps into the dragon gate and becomes a powerhouse that we may not be able to defeat."

At her words, the two ladies chuckled. The one with the gentle bearings turned to Isa and softly patted her back. "Oh darling, you're worrying for nothing."

To them, it seemed that Isa was not well informed. The lady with the cross earring smiled and responded, "Me and her are at the pinnacle. If someone of our caliber fought us, we are not going to be defeated. Winning may not be easy, but we won't be defeated. Other than this, if there's someone stronger than us, then they definitely are not in Shen Ze."

"What she means is that…" the lady with the gentle demeanor continued. Legendary Rank was the peak of Shen Ze. Any higher than that, the Heaven's will would pull the person away from the star system to maintain the balance. The Heaven's will had only one job, and that was to maintain the balance between order and chaos. If a person above Legendary Rank was in the star system, then it would be destabilized and collapse, leading to the death of an uncountable number of sentient beings. The chaos that would rise could never be controlled, and eventually, the star system would die. The Heaven's will thus protects everyone in a way.

The two ladies were therefore really confident in their words. Nobody could go against the Heaven's will and it was impossible to stay in Shen Ze if one ascended. There was no point in being humble in their opinion as they deserved to act and speak haughtily because they were at the pinnacle. This was what the two ladies were trying to preach Isa, the new joinee. Isa, after listening to them, felt more worried than ever. She flashed a small smile to the two and nodded in understanding, but deep down, she had a nagging feeling going on that couldn't be wiped off no matter what she did. As the discussion went on, the ominous dread did not go away. Feeling restless, she turned to the two ladies and asked, "Seniors, I have been meaning to ask… is there somebody we have offended?"

By we, she meant the entire clan as a whole. The two ladies were momentarily confused and wondered why Isa would ask such a question out of nowhere. In any case, they found it funny and began chuckling. "Yes, we have." The lady with the earring said. "It's everybody. We have offended almost everybody, ahahaha." The lady with a gentle demeanor answered with a giggle. Isa felt a headache from the two. She shook her head and asked, "Seniors, please, this is important. Can you please tell if we have had any conflicts with anyone other than the Asura God Clan? Like conflict on a major scale? If not us, perhaps our ancestors did? Anyone you can think of?"

"Hmm?" The two ladies stopped laughing and got serious. Why was Isa asking such questions out of nowhere? The two thought. For her to seem so concerned, something must be up.

"What happened? Why are you asking this out of nowhere?" The lady with the cross earring asked.  Isa shook her head. "I do not know why I'm asking this. But please do answer if you know anything."

The two ladies began pondering over what Isa had just asked. Their thoughts accelerated as they thought of millions of things at once. Finally, after a few minutes, the lady with the cross earring said, "I don't think we had any problems with other clans as such. We haven't offended anyone."

The lady with a gentle demeanor nodded her head. "Despite being the strongest, we usually keep to ourselves and don't bother others much."

"Hm, wait. I think… if you're talking about conflict outside clans, then there's going to be many." The lady with the cross earring had a thought and answered. "We haven't offended any clan per se, but we may have offended many individuals and smaller families. They're all either mortals or low level beings so I don't think it should matter much."

"Please elaborate more." Isa finally found some clue and asked more on it. "Oh, you see…"

Isa was one of them. There was no secret that she didn't know of. In case there was any, it was best to divulge it now and make her know it. She was one of the three greats, she should definitely possess these secrets. One major secret of the Evure God Clan that even Isa was aware of was that they possessed something called Unique Abilities. These were the things that allowed them to have an all elemental affinity and be undefeated in the entirety of Shen Ze. One fact that the outsiders didn't know about Unique Abilities was that there were certain individuals who would pop out of nowhere with it. They were extremely hard to find, and if found, were killed to have their Unique Ability be taken away.  The Evure God Clan had some measures to find these individuals. They were so efficient in this that they would find out eight out of ten individuals possessing the Unique Abilities.

The founders of the clan were lucky to have found these individuals and gotten their powers, but the individuals of now relied purely on their own prowess to get things done. They would consistently work to find those people possessing the Unique Abilities and harvest it from them. If they deemed some ability useless, they would let the person be alive, but he would be turned into a slave for the clan. All their conflicts were mainly a result of harvesting Unique Abilities, and as such, there shouldn't be any more. This was what the two ladies told Isa. Isa was aware of this, and not to be arrogant, but she did not think much about the individuals with Unique Abilities. She didn't think that her nagging feeling came from them. Because if it did, it should've been there from a long ago, not now. Isa rubbed her temples and after thinking for some more, asked the two ladies, "Think a bit, seniors. Apart from these individuals with Unique Abilities… is there any other conflict the clan had ever involved itself in? Any small detail you two remember about?"

The two ladies got to thinking. After a few minutes, the lady with the gentle demeanor said, "Now that I think about it…"
