GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Sometimes, the strong will attack the weak to get to the strong. Nothing you can do as a weakling can make you immune to violence. Anything can happen to you and you will become a scapegoat if you don't have the strength to defend yourself.

The soldiers both demons and angels alike behaved like prey ought to behave. They know that they are weak and they wish to be spared from the malice of the Celestial god but the Celestial has other plans. Helios attacked them. He didn't attack them with the aim to hurt them. He wanted to hurt the Celestial Supreme.

He proclaimed to the world, "Wrath of the sun god."

It is one of the divine abilities of Stelios. Helios used it by spreading out his divine sense and turning it into a golden cloud. The golden cloud reached his knees in height but it dwarfed everyone on the battlefield. The golden clouds began to produce golden rain. Drops of fire fell from the clouds to the ground and the army below. The drops expanded in the air and crashed into the ground to create explosions that damaged indiscriminately. Both angels and demons suffered his wrath.

The sight made the Celestial Supreme snap. He can watch Helios capture the demon lord and the demon nobles without doing anything even though he suspects that Helios is doing so to bring them straight to the mortal realm for safety. He can even ignore the death that Helios caused to the angels when passing through them but he cannot ignore the willful destruction of the forces of heaven. It is an unforgivable act of aggression. If all of this is bait, he is willing to bite.

He roared and transformed too. He became a black giant with four arms covered head to toe in white armor. His three Divine weapons appeared in his hands. Two giant hammers, one white and another black. A giant net with white and black strings. The last one is a weighing scale with one black and one white scale. He ran towards Helios ready to beat him up. He has been itching to put the young upstart in his place ever since their first conversation that occurred after Helios killed his enforcer.

Helios is eager too. He said, "Finally, we fight."

They aren't the only ones looking forward to the fight. The gods of the pantheon are all watching the fight that decides their fate. If the Celestial Supreme wins, they will return to their normal life, but if he loses, then they might become hermit gods who refuse to leave their divine kingdoms.

Helios freed his hands by using his divine sense to hold onto his captives. He doesn't have any divine weapon so he will have to rely on his body. His body isn't lacking either because of the runes he had carved into them. Unlike other giants that created weapons as runes, he turned his body into a weapon. In a sense, his current divine ability is to be the Celestial God of the sun and he can wield the Celestial Authority like a weapon.

Four of his arms detached and transformed into one shield, one spear, and two cannons. The remaining two will be for grappling.

The Celestial Supreme used his ability to control gravity as the first move. The world shuddered visibly like a weight is pressed on it. The Celestial Supreme's control of the world riled up the gravity of the surroundings and weighed everything down.

Then the Celestial Supreme threw his net at Helios. The net will weaken, restrain, and bind him if it so much as touches him. It should capture Helios since he will be boggled down by gravity. Helios tried to jump back and he succeeded. He wasn't affected by the increase in gravity.

He has been able to manipulate his gravitational field as a mana entity. It is how he was able to fly as a giant of order. He is now a Celestial with more power. Shrugging off the Celestial Supreme's control over gravity is difficult but manageable for him.

But Zernon was prepared for something like that. He used his scales to prevent Helios from moving at all.

He pointed the scales at Helios and said, "The weight of Order is a counterbalance to Chaos."

A black figure appeared on the white scale while a golden figure appeared on the white scale. The scale of Order will judge the two parties based on the amount of order they have brought into the world. Their power will be readjusted for a time. The one with the larger order will get the bulk of it and the one with the smaller order will be weakened temporarily.

The Celestial Supreme fights just like he lives his life. Everything is planned out for him to be in total control. He has a battle outline that he follows step by step. It is like a combo move with one move coming right after the other. Each of his moves builds on the effects of the previous ones and amplifies each other until he finally kills his target.

His first move which is suppression using gravity has never failed him. Its effect might be weak or strong but it has never failed. It weakens his opponent and opens them up for further compromising attacks. Next comes the net and the scale of order that are pivotal in his victory.

The scale ensures that the suppression is certain by redistributing power. The ratio of power distribution is based on the difference in the contribution to Order between the two parties. Zernon always wins the judgment of the scale because he is a stickler for order. He lives his life with Order. The only person that he has ever lost to is the god of fate who is immune to the workings of order. But he doubts Helios will be able to replicate that unfortunate event.

He was expecting the scale to tilt in his favor and for Helios to slow down. Then the net will capture Helios making it easy for Zernon to beat him with his two hammers to death. What he heard was a crack.
