"I still don't fully understand the relation…" Kaiser said.
He did understand it, half of him did. The other half refused to accept it because accepting it meant admitting that control was the rarest resource in any form of power.
"Mountains above mountains, and seas below seas. It is merely a perspective for those who experience it. For you, Ashkar is supreme, but he still perished. For myself, I ruled for a thousand years, until I met Gluttony; not even the emperor of these lands back then could raise their head in my presence. I, on the other hand, couldn't even scathe Gluttony's skin. The difference between Ludwig and Gluttony is… the Usurper was in control of his urges. Despite his full-on voracity, he didn't consume Ludwig when he was in front of him… and that makes him efficient, that makes him dangerous…"
As Gale spoke, Kaiser could almost see the contrast: Gluttony as a perfectly restrained disaster, an endless appetite that still knew when not to bite.
