Han Dong had always been curious about which aspect Gray's abilities leaned toward.
Was it pure physicality, or something like the King in Yellow's soul-based powers—special techniques capable of effortlessly destroying targets, or terrifying illusions that could implant consciousness?
Now,
as Han Dong transformed into the First Chaos, he finally obtained the final answer to that question.
All of his previous conjectures about Gray's abilities had been flawed.
Gray's abilities had no particular bias. If he were compared to an ordinary human, he would undoubtedly be an Olympic decathlon gold medalist, with no one else even able to stand on the same starting line.

Furthermore, these incarnations were not acquired through a semi-enslavement method of preaching and conversion like Teacher Mr.'s. They were obtained through a more intimate means, one more deeply connected to the original body.
Reincarnation.
Gray could undergo complete "reincarnation," abandoning all memories, his throne, and every ability, then be born as a newborn among alien demon tribes or humans that interested him.

Thus forming an incarnation.
