He was forced to have this celebration because giants of Order are set in their ways. He doesn't mind that. They can have a celebration if they want to have a celebration. But they forced him to attend. That's already bad enough. Then they took the one thing that could have made the event pleasant for him. They turned him into a performer for them and now someone is even saying his performance is not because of his efforts.
It is one thing after the other. It is an insult upon insult and injury upon injury, but he can't do anything but sulk. He will make them pay. He will usher in pain and suffering to them. He will break open the gates of hell. Their whole world will come crashing down. They will all dance to the tune of violence that he will play for them. Then he will see how much fun they are having with it.
Hak proclaimed, totally oblivious to the raging emotions within Helios, "Your victory calls for a celebration."
"No more celebrations. I just want to perform my rune research in peace." Helios disagreed quickly.
He has had enough of celebrations.
"I don't care about you. I mean me. I'll have my own private celebration. Have some friends over. Eat something nice like that portion of meat from the divine stag that I received two hundred years ago. I'll make some offerings to the sun god. I'll..."
Helios ignored Hak as he began planning his own party. He chose to focus on his future plans. His most important plan is to master Runes to the limit of what he can achieve. Something that can imitate creation is at the top of the list of important things to Legion.
Then he must master the law of order.
'I can't wait to see what will happen when I combine the law of order with rune making.' He thought wistfully.
Rune-making is already powerful as an imitation of creation by combining the law fragments of order with divine energy. The combination of the true law of order with divine energy is sure to create something more powerful. So he is looking forward to it.
He entered his study room with enthusiasm. There are drawings littered everywhere. He shoved the ones on the table aside and placed Tyke's body on the table.
'I'll see what I can get done before I clash with the gods.' he said as he began to work on it.
He plans to dissect this body and examine each part of it. Then run some experiments on rune making and the behavior of fragments of order. Tyke's body and the divine crystals he has will help him further his knowledge and understanding of runes. But he is bound to run out of divine power to use. He can make bets or try to earn some, but there's a much better way to have a constant supply of divine energy. He can just kidnap a god and then use that god as fuel for his needs.
Kidnapping a god won't be easy. But a clash with the gods is unavoidable. Apart from the possible enhancement that runes will undergo if he uses the law of order instead of fragments, there's also another way of possible enhancement through the use of divine Authority instead of divine energy gotten from it. All of these are in the interest of Legion to discover the nature of the authorities of gods.
Hadrick has given Soverick the results of his analysis of Godhood and Soverick has also done further analysis with his new and improved eyes. The second awakening of the Eyes of Heaven exposed some interesting things about the world. But Soverick has done his best. It is Helios' turn to do something about it. Helios has a plane full of gods after all, while Soverick ended the era of gods in his plane and destroyed the divine plane. So it is more conducive for him to make the necessary experiments regarding Authority.
The gods might be full of themselves but Helios thinks of them as research material that he can't get yet. He just needs enough strength and he will be able to gut them for pleasure or for research just like he is doing to Tyke's body. It is a tall order but he won't be alone in this endeavor. Help is on the way from two other clones of Legion.
80 Years After.
Helios is standing outside of Stelios' throne room for a meeting. The throne room is one of the places where Stelios keeps an avatar constantly. So it is the one sure place where anyone that wants to see the sun god can meet him. That surety doesn't exist in any other place in the mortal realm. Even prayer is a long shot at meeting with a god spiritually or not.
Helios doesn't want to be here because he doesn't want to meet the sun god. The sun god called for him. And since the sun god's word is the law around here, Helios has to be here no matter what he is doing before.
'He is even delaying me. Does he have no sense of punctuality? What a pompous prick.' He grumbled quietly.
The closest guard to him turned to him in suspicion. He probably thought Helios was talking to him. Helios ignored him and continued staring into space.
Being a demigod has not been easy on him. His current life has been grating on him for a long while. He might as well be a prisoner. He isn't in control of his life at all. A pompous prick that calls himself a grand god can just request for his presence anytime. Either he drops everything he is doing and answers the call or the sun god comes to him and drags him away. It has happened before. He refused the call for a meeting and Stelios opened a portal in his location and pulled him into it for the meeting.
