GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He frankly prefers to be dragged to a meeting. If Stelios wants to see him so badly then he should work for it. But he has been making strides in Rune making and he doesn't want Stelios to be aware of it. That's why he is here and why Stelios is taking him for granted by making him wait. You don't treasure something if it is readily available.

He is still working on rune making, but not the garbage that the giants of order call runes. He isn't mentally handicapped like them so it is natural that he makes progress beyond what they consider common sense. Some might say that he has mastered the current field of rune-making and achieved more in record time but he isn't impressed yet.

'I'll be impressed when I crack whatever Stelios is up to.' he thought to himself.

He didn't grumble this time. He doesn't want to risk "Blaspheming The Sun God." The punishment for that is a beheading. The punishment isn't severe for a demigod but he will still be punished. He learned his lesson the last time he did it.

He was asked to sweep and wash the stones of the largest pyramid in the city all because he said that religion is the most responsible for the wars and conflicts going on in the plane. It is the truth and he wasn't even targeting the sun god. Things escalated when Hak asked him if the sun god is also part of the reason for wars and he answered in the affirmative.

The time he wasted on the effort is punishment enough. The punishment delayed his research. He would have preferred something painful, which he asked for, but Hak maintained that the body of a demigod is sacred and mustn't be blasphemed either. So he learned his lesson that mouthing off is part of acting out and it is a bad idea when you're up against enemies much stronger than you. So he laid low while concentrating on his rune-making.

He succeeded in discovering the application of concepts to create phenomena with runes instead of objects that giants of Order are limited to. He even cracked the secret of stigmata and just like everyone says, the secret of stigmata is divine will. But he still can't fully crack the Stigmata that Stelios is carving on his body.

The will of a god is the refined will of thousands if not millions of people. Helios found it too difficult to crack on his own just like he couldn't crack the fragments of Order on his own when he was still a fetus. He would be able to if he has a stronger will or the assistance of soul force but his body is not strong enough to allow soul force. He doesn't have a body like Legion-3 that has been warped by chaos energy.

Speaking of body, he has made a lot of progress over the years in terms of refinement.

STATUS: Angry and Bitter.

He has grown stronger over the past 80 years. His height has increased to 30 meters at baseline while his maximum boost gives him an extra 10 meters. His body has reached 3 times the maximum stats of a mana entity. Only his speed refused to bulge. This sort of growth is very abnormal for his age.

A giant of order can grow to 4 times the maximum of a normal mana entity but it will take thousands of years. They don't have a supply of unlimited mana that can shorten that time and so have to stick to passively absorbing mana from the environment which has a low concentration of it because of the numerous Origin cycles of relentless absorption.

He shortened the time needed for his growth from three thousand years to a hundred years thanks to that special title of the child of the plain. He plans to wait to reach the limit which should be another 100 years. It also aligns with Legion's plan.

"You may come in." The sun god's voice rang out from inside the throne room.

The door of the throne room changed from being a solid object into a translucent barrier. Helios passed through the barrier at the entrance and found himself in a void. The void is empty, containing nothing except for the pathway that one can stand on. It will also be dark if not for the small star waiting at the end of the pathway.

Helios walked along the pathway until he stood beneath the star. Then he knelt and bowed his head solemnly.

He spoke. "You called for me, father."

He doesn't want to bow to what he considers a lesser being, even if that being is supposed to be his father, but unfortunately, he has to. He isn't Soverick living under weak accepting parents. Fortunately, things aren't so bad like the situation of Legion-5 with a merciless tyrant for a father so things aren't that bad either.

If he can sacrifice his life for the good of Legion then he can bow to a grand god no matter how much he loathes the act. Strength is absolute. He doesn't have enough strength, so he must bow. If he meets a world god, will he not bow? The opinion of the weak doesn't matter. Everyone can do whatever they want. If you're strong, then you can do whatever you want to a weaker person. It is the order of the world.
