The Celestial Supreme didn't seem surprised that the god of fate heard what he said about him back in the privacy of his divine kingdom. It is common knowledge among the gods that the god of fate can hear about events he isn't present to witness. No event that concerns him or involves just stating his name can be hidden from him. He shouldn't be able to do so to the celestial supreme but what others don't know about the god of fate is that he is a celestial god too.
That's the second reason why the god of order didn't flare up when the god of fate disrespected him. There's a third reason why he didn't flare up but that's for another time. The god of fate being a celestial is why he can go scot-free from attending divine council meetings.
Everyone in the plane believes that there is only one Celestial God in the plane because the Celestial Supreme kills newly ascended celestials. They are partly right. The god of fate ascended without an announcement so no other god knew about his ascension except the god of order and justice. It is his privilege as the Celestial Supreme to be made aware of all ascensions.
The stealth ascension might have given others pause but that didn't change the Celestial Supreme's mind about killing newly ascended celestials. He wasn't intimidated at all and he went after the god of fate to kill him. Obviously, he couldn't kill him or the guy wouldn't be alive right now disrespecting him to his face. The god of fate's domain countered his own so he had to leave the new celestial god alone.
Thankfully it was only a stalemate or the current Celestial Supreme will not be the god of order and justice.
The situation about the hidden new god made the Celestial Supreme think of the god of fate. He hid his ascension from others by utilizing the powers of his domain. Those who are not required by fate to know of his ascension will never know no matter how much they try. The god of fate's ability to snoop on others might also be very helpful in this situation. Those are the reason he called the god of fate.
"So here I am. What do you know about the new god?"
The god of fate answered. "Nothing. I don't know anything about the new god apart from the fact that there's a strange divine entity at work in the mortal realm."
The Celestial Supreme became angry. He asked with barely held anger, "Then why did you ask me to come? You could have just said that when I contacted you earlier."
The god of fate ignored the outburst. He has nothing to fear from the Celestial Supreme. It showed in his actions and his speech.
He replied calmly. "The answer to that is also obvious. It is to make you come here. I already told you that I haven't had visitors in a while and you know why I can't go out myself."
The Celestial Supreme continued to simmer as his anger rose. "So my trip here was a waste?"
"It is a waste for you if you decide to make it so. It isn't a waste for me since I am enjoying the pleasure of your presence even though you're being such a stick in the mud."
The god of order and justice finally snapped. His voice was low as he said, "I won't have that. You either tell me something useful or I will damage your collection of strings of fate. I might not be able to do anything to you but this sea will become a small pond by the time I am done with it."
The god of fate considered the threat for a while before speaking. "Fine. I was wrong, you are not a stick in the mud. You just have a stick up your asshole."
The god of order and justice roared, "Just get to it already."
The god of fate sat up. His legs sank into the river of ropes while his buttocks sat on it.
He began to speak. "Let me ask you this. What do you think the aim of this god is?"
"I don't know. If I knew I wouldn't be here." The Celestial Supreme answered with irritation.
"I said what do you think the aim is? Surely you must have some theories."
The celestial supreme sighed. "I honestly don't know. The actions of this new god don't make sense to me. Nothing about this makes sense to me."
"Come on. Don't be so boring. Give me your best guess. I'm sure you have a lot of them running around in that thick head of yours. They might be boring and uninspired but they might be useful."
The Celestial Supreme glared at the god of fate before he replied.
"If I have to guess, I think the aim of this god is to help the ant queen become a transcendent and then become a god."
The god of fate clapped in applause. "That's a pretty good guess. So why don't you confirm it."
"I can't confirm it."
"Because?"
"Because the demigods are at risk. If I try to investigate the ant colony, the demigods might be killed. Their death will create a lot of Chaos and I don't want a lot of Chaos. I don't want Chaos at all."
The celestial supreme answered.
The god of fate shook his head. "You and your dislike for Chaos. You have to be flexible or you will break. This case can be burst wide open if only you overcome your fear of chaos."
His fear of chaos in the mortal realm and amongst the gods is holding him back from confirming the hidden god's agenda. If he can overcome it or find a way around it, then this conundrum of a situation will become clear and simple. He will be able to cut short the hidden god's agenda and put everything right.
