GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

How did the demons trick the divine plane? Why are there demon dukes in the army? Why are the demon dukes bowing to the high-rank demon? Where is the demon king that they should be bowing to? What do Helios and Stelios plan to achieve with the demons? So many questions and so few answers?

All of it reeks of an insidious scheme and he is sure a demon king will show up soon. His suspicion is not baseless paranoia because when there are demon dukes, there must be a demon king. That demon king might even be in the mortal realm right now. It is unlikely but just because he hasn't seen the demon king yet doesn't mean it is not around. Even if it is not around, it could be on its way.

He had most of his attention on the happenings of the mortal realm in order to spot any new danger so he noticed the demons scattering throughout the plane. Unfortunately, his troops are being cornered and eliminated so he couldn't do anything about it. The defense of the mortal realm fell into the hand of the gods who were just at each other's throats a few days ago.

"I just can't catch a break can I?" He groaned and complained.

So many unpleasant events are happening in the mortal realm but he had to return his attention to the divine plane because Helios came knocking. The child of the plane who allowed demons to attack the plane and who killed a large share of his vessels decided it was time to cause trouble in the divine plane too. It is a worthy cause to lament one's misfortune.

HELIOS POV

Helios flew up from the mortal realm into the sky. He appeared in the divine plane once he crossed the void that acted as the boundary between it and the mortal realm. He was warped into the divine city beneath the divine kingdoms of gods as soon as he came near the floating landmass.

Numerous gods started to pay attention to him but no one came forward to greet him. Not even his father's friends or his divine siblings came to greet him. They prefer to stay in their divine kingdom or places of abode where they are safe rather than risk death.

He has a notorious reputation in the divine plane which explains their reluctance to interact with him. It is not that they don't have things to ask him or stuff to talk to him about. They do but they can't look past the attack that tried to split the plane and his act of betraying their race. They will find him to be a pleasant person with some skills in people butchering for demonic sacrifices if only they can look past his traitorous deeds and get to know him.

Fortunately for him, he is not a people's person and those that matter to him think highly of him. In fact, the Zargoth plane loves him. Both the mortal realm and the divine plane think very highly of him. The divine plane did something very odd when he entered it. It announced the creation of another Celestial to everyone.

It is odd because it didn't announce the ascension of Stelios when he became a Celestial. But it finally performed the announcement when Helios came to the divine plane. One might wonder who the true Celestial is between the father and son.

The Celestial Supreme wondered too. His face also turned bitter when he saw what Helios has become. He itched all over to attack one of the people that have turned his plane upside down but he held himself back.

He didn't attack Helios there and then. He is the Celestial Supreme and the only Celestial that is ready to defend the plane so he can't be preoccupied with something else no matter how much he wants to. He has to be ready for the attack of a demon king. He will watch Helios for now and only interfere when he has to.

He allowed himself to mutter, "Who is the sun god now?"

His question is warranted because Helios looked no different from a Celestial since the divine plane embraced Helios like a Celestial. A person on the path of perfection will be suppressed in the divine plane. All their laws and Authorities will be rendered powerless in the divine plane. They will become as weak as transcendents. That is what should have happened.

Only Origin gods can somewhat resist the suppression because they themselves are part of the law. Helios is just a king of law but the suppression doesn't appear to affect him. He is being suppressed but the other half of his half-celestial body was activated. He is a king of law in the main plane, but he is a Celestial in the divine plane.

A force began to pull on the other half of the Celestial power in his body to reunite the two but Stelios would have none of it. The divine plane feels that it is not right for one power to be separated. Stelios is of the opinion that the separation of power is good and nothing could be better so he resisted the pull.

Helios didn't indulge the pull. He doesn't need the other half anyway. What he has is already enough for him to be recognized as a Celestial in the divine plane. He began to transform as his divine body activated.

His humanoid form became bloated and began to enlarge. He enlarged until he became a golden giant of fire more than 1 kilometer in height. He looks like a colossus except he has 6 arms and he also has white armor covering his golden form. He is just like the son of the Celestial Supreme. He is both a behemoth and a colossus except his base is that of a Colossus while the son of the Celestial Supreme, may he rest in peace, was a Behemoth at his base.
