GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Gods shouldn't be marked through vessels. That's the norm. They also shouldn't be harmed through vessels either but they really thought that scythe was going to cut them at that time. They shouldn't be scared to death through vessels too but their instincts screamed out danger. There are a lot of things that shouldn't have happened but here they are with the mark of a scythe on their Godhood.

The real reason why Stelios' vessel was the last to die is that he chose to resist the mark of death. The attack was supposed to mark him and then destroy the vessel but as a Celestial, he noticed the hidden danger. The word DEATH wasn't a simple word, it was backed with Authority so it needed Authority to resist which the other gods are lacking in. The ignorant fools didn't even know that they had been marked.

"What do we do now?" Harkam asked in desperation.

Zernon spoke up to stop the gods from panicking. "This has changed nothing. All we have to do is to get rid of this demon king. All of our problems will disappear once he is eliminated. We will consider other options only after his death doesn't solve this problem. But until then the death of the demon king is our priority."

Harkam said. "Then let's eliminate the demon king as quickly as possible."

He dropped a lot more items with divinity after speaking. The other gods followed suit and donated more items to speed up the loading of the GodSlayer. They were willing to wait a few moments ago but they can't wait anymore right now. They want the demon king gone for good and the mark removed as soon as possible.

Ignorance is bliss. If the gods didn't know about the mark on their Godhood, they would just be a little traumatized about the fight. Now they are desperate and deathly scared. They are willing to do anything to get rid of the marks on them. They don't want a foreign object or energy to be near the core of their existence. Their most secure place has been compromised and they are desperate to change it.

Their desperation made them increase their donations of items with divinity. The crystalline tower of the GodSlayer lit up and became translucent after engorging on divinity.

Zernon said to them. "It is ready. Let's load up the payload."

The gods nodded. Zernon and Stelios entered two of the smaller spheres at the end of the horizontal spokes. 8 other grand gods entered the remaining 8. The crystalline spokes became translucent immediately after the payload was loaded.

The spokes began to rotate. They have a lot of divinity in them so the rotating spokes accelerated quickly. Soon they became a blur around the base of the tower. A bright multicolored fluid began to come out of the smaller spheres at the end of the spokes. The fluids could be seen within the translucent spokes. It passed through the spoke and entered the tower.

A reaction occurred within the space between the spokes and the tower. The fluid was supercharged within that space within a short time before it entered the tower. The fluid had become white by the time it entered the tower. It began to ascend the tower and it underwent numerous other changes through the different stages of the tower during its ascent. It became a three-colored fluid with clear distinctions by the time it reached the sphere at the top of the pillar. There's white, black, and orange representing the three Authorities present in the attack.

The god of knowledge watched the changes with the utmost alertness and scrutiny. He remained glued to the side of the GodSlayer and ignored the storm of lightning and wind hurricane that is brewing due to the machine's activation.

He said in anticipation, "This is a momentous occasion. The GodSlayer is going to be fired for the first time since its conception. What a sight."

It is a fulfilling sight to see the work of generations of gods of knowledge finally bear fruit. It is not their creation but the gods of knowledge have invested a lot of time and energy into the work so they consider it theirs.

His eyes gleamed with unshed tears as he said, "It is like giving birth to a child and finally having the child come of age."

The GodSlayer might as well be the child he never had since gods of knowledge can't conceive children. Their divine bodies are in the form of sheets of paper. It is not a type of body that can create offspring.

The mantle of God of knowledge is transferred to whoever is able to decipher the code used to encrypt the knowledge contained within the sheets of paper. It is an appropriate test of worthiness because you have to really enjoy the pursuit of knowledge if you can't do any other pleasurable thing ever again.

So he feels delighted to see the GodSlayer finally used despite not being the original creator. The creator probably wouldn't be happy to see who is using it. Kerons the god of justice will probably be rolling in his grave right now.

"It's a pity that the creator is dead. At least he won't have to see his best work being used by his enemy. He was talented though. I wish I had his flare for destruction." He muttered as he gazed at the GodSlayer in awe.

The god of justice, the creator of the GodSlayer, is also known as the father of annihilators. He invented annihilators and his priests were known for it. It was odd that the god of justice had a flare for destruction. His Stigmatas couldn't be cracked while he was alive. It was after his death that the secret of annihilators was cracked. It was cracked and shared by his murderer.

It is the same murderer that is also using the GodSlayer that he created. Anyone will not have a peaceful death if they know that their rival invalidated their life's work and is using them for their own benefit.
