GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The barrel formed by his two arms glowed as if he is holding a small but very bright star. The origin energy within it that has been woven into a small star core with the law of fire was then ignited by the power of the sun. Then it was fired. The barrel released a large beam of pure white full of power and energy. The beam moved at the speed of light, undodgeable and unstoppable. It lasted for only one second but it was enough. The barrel disintegrated into motes of light after performing its duty.contemporary romance

"Celestial Authority!" The Celestial Supreme exclaimed in shock.

He realized the level of the threat immediately. It is worse than his most daring estimate. So he cranked up the god fire within his vessels. It turned from a spark into a big roaring flame. In the darkened world that Zargoth has become because of Helios's attack, 2 prominent sources of light were seen. One is a giant phantom dressed in white armor with black hair. The phantom bent and used its body as a shield to protect something. The other source of light is a star rising with overwhelming momentum and trying to engulf the phantom.

The phantom resisted for a brief moment before it was consumed. Then the rising star hit its targets and cut them to pieces. The beam of light continued to wreak destruction behind the behemoths. It cut into the ground and created a deep, narrow canyon that almost ran to the edge of the plane.

The canyon stretched like a gaping maw from behind the Behemoths to places afar. The canyon continued in length even as the beam turned sand into lava and created diamonds in their depths. A deep and dark crevice forever marred the Zargoth plane. The beam would have set the plane on fire if there are forests or split mountains apart if there were mountains.

The light of that beam blinded anything using eyes that gazed upon it, even transcendents. It was like a flash bomb went off in the plane. Transcendents and mana entities will heal the damage to their eyes but the rest will be blinded forever for daring to look at the manifestation of the Authority of a Celestial. It is unfortunate for them since any being alive right now just barely survived the suffocation attempt of the Celestial Supreme.

Of the 7 behemoths, only one survived. This special behemoth saw the bright light that cut through them like sharp shears through wheat and survived. It was shaken and it showed in its behavior. The poor behemoth seemed ready to fall or be blown away by the slightest wind. Even the Celestial Supreme was also shaken. He felt the aura of a Celestial on Helios but he didn't expect that he would have access to Celestial Authority too.

In fact, the entire pantheon of gods was shaken. They are all shaken because they sensed the use of multiple Celestial Authorities in the mortal realm. Not one, but two different Celestial Authorities. Even two mortals can deduce as much by the sight of the two clashing forces. They sensed Celestial Authorities from both Helios and the surviving Behemoth. They can't question the Celestial Supreme yet since the fight has not ended.

The behemoth that survived looked shakily past the sliced bodies of the other 6 behemoths to stare behind himself. A sea of lava that wasn't there before has appeared behind him. The sea is made from molten sand and it extends far beyond his eyesight. There's also the canyon that extends through the sea to beyond his sight. He gulped involuntarily. Then it turned back immediately.

Helios had appeared before him. Helios clapped and spoke. "Welcome, Half Celestial. Now that the chaff has been removed from the grain, we can get to business. Don't you think?"

The behemoth's eyes widened. He muttered, "You know about me?"

Helios answered. "Of course, I do. Why else will I sit here waiting for you slow pokes? I could have run away if I wanted to escape. But I wanted you here at this very spot. Welcome again."

He has imbued the power of celestial light into his body through his runes and through his breakthrough with the Celestial energy of the sun god so he is very fast. There's only one person that can compete in speed with him in the entire Zargoth plane and that person is currently incapacitated. So he can be considered the fastest person on the plane. Escaping is not a problem for him but he waited here for something. That something has been delivered to him.

Normal vessels can't wield god fire without burning up. Normal vessels certainly cannot use a Celestial Authority. If Helios sits here and fights enemies sent by the gods to capture him, the gods will have to send vessels that they can express their full power through. That is the only way for gods to use their power in the mortal realm.

If he pushes those vessels to their limit then the gods will resort to the use of god fire. If he pushes those vessels far enough, god fire will burn them up. That is unless that vessel is special. If that special vessel is a Half Celestial, then that special vessel will surely use the Celestial Authority of order and survive his attack made with the Celestial Authority of the sun. Then he will have what he waited here for.

It helped that this plane is backward and not developed enough to use golems as their vessels. They still use transcendents as their vessels. Fortunately for him, what he needs is a special transcendent not a golem. He would have continued to create trouble for the gods and they would have continued to send forces to stop him until he gets what he wants.

The behemoth backed up in fear. It asked fearfully, "What do you want from me?"

Helios answered with a grin. "Why don't you surrender and you will find out."
