The thorn vines appeared through the holes in the tunnel like water spilling through faults in a container. They then ca together and combined to form an enormous plant dragon.
The dragon is made with green thorny vines all layered and shed together to form the shape of the dragon. The dragon might be made of plants but it is still large. Its entire body filled the tunnel like a wall of power. It stood with equal height as the 100-ter-tall avatar of the Celestial Supre in a tunnel still larger than them both.
The Celestial Supre beca shocked.
"You're a plant?" He asked incredulously.
Of all the races that he could have suspected of achieving transcendence without his knowledge, plants did not and cannot co to his mind. It just seems absurd on the face of it. Zargoth plane is not a plane conducive to plants. Plants were the first to die out when giants of order started to rise. That led to the death of other races and then the giants of order killed the resilient ones.
And yet, here is a plant transcendent. It has sohow survived as an ordinary plant without water. It grew and sohow beca capable of using mana in a plane without mana. Then it subsisted on this unavailable mana for many years to finally beco a transcendent. It cannot be overemphasized how absurd and ridiculous it is.
"My my, I am flattered. The Celestial Supre is so shocked by my power that he is speechless." The plant dragon spoke in a rumbling voice that is stressing the tunnels and threatened to make them collapse. The dragon held its head high with pride beyond what should be shown in front of the Celestial Supre of the plane.
"It was good that I ca here. Now I know that you're working for the goddess of agriculture. She must be the one behind all of this."
The Celestial Supre tried to wrap his mind around how a plant happened to beco a transcendent and the only solution that ca to his mind is the goddess of agriculture. A plant cannot beco a transcendent in the Zargoth plane without assistance and that is a fact. The goddess of agriculture is the only god that he knows that works with plants. She is the one betraying him and working with the hidden god to undermine his order.
"Why can't I have beco a transcendent on my own? Why must a god be the one to allow to exist?" The dragon asked.
It seed offended by the notion that its strength is not attributed to its effort.
"Is a god not supporting you? You can't expect to believe otherwise."
The dragon turned silent for a while before it answered. "You're right. A god is supporting but it isn't the god of agriculture."
"I see what you're doing. You are trying to misdirect by telling sothing that is true while saying another thing that is false. As if I'll believe anything you say."
The dragon chuckled. "Nothing gets past you oh great and powerful dictator of the Zargoth plane."
He snapped at it. "Don't call that."
The dragon rolled its eyes and asked, "Then what is your na?"
"I am the one, true God. The only true God in all of the plane. I am not the king of gods but the only true God. I am a Celestial and since I am the only one, I am the Celestial Supre. You must call the Celestial Supre and only that." He ranted at the dragon as if scolding it.
It listened attentively as he spoke, nodding its head occasionally. Then it asked after he was done. "I am sure you were not nad the "Celestial Supre" from birth. So what were you nad? Co to think of it, nothing is known about your life as a mortal. You can't make believe you were born as a god."
The Celestial Supre's outburst didn't affect the plant dragon at all. It has a mission to do and it will do it regardless of his anger. It's not like the Celestial Supre can do anything to it.
The Celestial Supre cald down and regained his composure. He snorted before replying "You can believe whatever you want. It doesn't change that my na is the Celestial Supre."
"Okay, so it is Celestial Supre. I am SWIFTESCAPE the mighty. You can call The Mighty if you like. I find that na resonates more with . I, The Mighty, have a ssage from my even mightier god."
The dragon held its head high and spoke with pride. Then it stopped after its introduction to let the consequence of its sentence sink in.
Except its audience isn't impressed. The Celestial Supre said impatiently, "Get on with it already."
"Why can't you allow the creation of other gods?"
"I'll tell you why. It is also why I ca here. There are three commandnts and 10 rules of the church of order and justice. The first commandnt is to obey all rules. The second is that the best number for anything is 1 and 0. The third command is that if acquiring the best number is impossible or will disrupt order, then the current situation must be kept constant."
"There can only be 1 true God. There can only be 1 race as gods. The number of gods must be kept constant at 101. Since I am the only true god and I am in control of the divine realm, I am the Celestial Supre, and as such, my will must be done."
The dragon spoke. "Order must be maintained. But it is your order. Why not make things easier for us by allowing another god? All of this can end if you are willing to allow another god from another race. Just one."
"Never." The Celestial Supre yelled. "I'll never allow it."
He will never allow it. He can't even picture it without becoming angry. He would have to die first before he allows such a thing to happen.
