Stelios remained calm despite the rude interruption of his son's Celebration. He has been expecting this.
"Is this good enough for you?" The cloud-face asked with a grin.
"No, create an avatar if you must come."
"I don't intend to stay for long. My new kids want to see your precious demigod. I'm sure they are welcome."
It is a polite way of saying I am going to crash your party and there's nothing you can do about it unless you tell me off right now in front of all your other visitors which will show you as weak.
Stelios answered. "Sure, as long as they behave."
The brown cloud-face coughed out two children from its mouth. The two of them have blue skin and purple hair. They are also sitting on what appears to be two golden bolts of lightning.
Their father said to them, "You hear that kids? You're welcome but you have to behave. That sun god is a nasty old man who doesn't know what fun is."
Then the god of the sky and tempest said to the sun god, "You know what I am here for. My kids need a target for their heroic feats. It is a good opportunity for your son too. That's if he can make use of it. Do you remember the last of your demigods that mine killed, wasn't it hilarious? What's the count now? I think I have 5 and you have 1."
The sun god became angry immediately. The god of the sky is trying to humiliate him, in broad daylight no less. He wouldn't have it.
"Sunrise." He evoked his Authority as the sun god.
The sun that had been hidden behind the curtain of dark clouds burst forth with light that dispersed the huge face in the sky and broke the clouds. The dust scattered in the presence of the sun. The day brightened up as the blockage to the sunlight was removed.
"So petty." The sky god snickered before he left.
The two children above rode the golden bolts to the ground. The bolts then transformed into two angels with 8 wings of lightning. Their body seemed to be made of wind in the form of a miniature hurricane. They have two arms but no legs.
Helios said to Hak, "Would you look at that? Their guardians are angels with the power of mid gods while my guardian is a transcendent with the power of a transcendent."
"You're in a safe place not surrounded by hostile entities. You don't need stronger protection. Besides, they can't exhibit their full strength. They are mostly here to allow the kids to escape as soon as possible."
"I see. What's their deal? I assume they are here to mess with the party but what's this about heroic feats?" Helios asked with mild interest.
"We'll talk about heroic feats another time. Just know that it can lead to death and these two are after you so you have to be careful."
Now Helios's interest is piqued, "You mean I can kill them?"
All he heard is that there is a possibility of death and that meant it is very possible for him to kill them.
Cardinal Hak looked at Helios and said with uttermost seriousness, "They are older than you. They have had more training and likely didn't come here on a whim so it is more likely for them to kill you."
Helios clapped his hands together and grinned. "Now, I'm getting excited. This party just got better."
One of the angels bowed down in their position on the second level towards the direction of the sun god and asked, "Shall we begin the exhibition competition your divine greatness."
The sun god nodded and resumed his speech, "As I was saying, let us start the talent exhibition. But that will change since we have visitors that are willing to turn this into a competition using the laws of the pursuit of heroic feats."
Everyone clapped excitedly. They would have clapped politely because they have to if it was only Helios showing them what he can do, but now they are truly eager to see the show. A demigod is rare, so witnessing the fights between them is rarer.
The sun god nodded, "As you all know, heroic feats are important for a demigod to become a divine lord. This is a rare opportunity for both sides. We have the virility of the sky god and the prolific fertility of the female that bore him twins to thank for this opportunity."
This time only the people in the second and first levels cheered and laughed. The sky god is famously fertile. He has more demigods than the goddess of harvest and fertility herself. This time, he met an equally fertile partner that gave him two for one.
The gods and demigods can laugh about it but the mortals can't. He isn't known as the god of the tempest for nothing. He has been known to dole out wrathful punishment to mortals that have erred. Making fun of the sky god is definitely erring.
The angel still hadn't risen, he obviously has more to say.
He asked the sun god, "Can we recommend the method of competition too?"
It isn't an act of disrespect for the angel to make a request of a god. An angel represents the will of their god, which means they are saying what the sky god wants. The sky god's presence might not be here but he is more than aware of what's going on.
The sun god answered, "You can select anything as long as runes are allowed."
The angel stilled as he listened to the instruction of the sky god.
He spoke again, "I'm sorry your divine greatness, but the only thing we planned for is unarmed combat."
The sun god frowned, "Surely it won't be a fight to the death."
This time the angel answered immediately. "It cannot be a heroic feat without the death of a demigod. What else is there? I'm sorry to say that it has to be a fight to the death."
