Zernon beca elated at the sight of the approaching god. The golden armoured god is his salvation. He scread with all his might. "Help , Zerkon. Help ."
He has no ti for formalities like calling him the god of fate. He is too happy to act estranged. The helper he called for is the god of faith after releasing him from the contract of non-interference. The god of fate was the only god that didn't attend the divine council eting so he was spared the fate of death.
It has been a long ti since he called the god of faith his real na. Zernon didn't expect the god of fate to answer his call for help since he forced him to stay hidden all these years. But here he is. This just goes to show that he should have trusted the god of fate more.
Stelios beca agitated when he noticed the new god. He also noticed the red specters chasing them but they don't matter yet. If he can't get Zernon then his fate is sealed anyway. So he began burning parts of himself to speed up and catch Zernon. It is very painful but it is a sacrifice he is willing to make for his life to get better. After all, he doesn't have much else to lose.
Unfortunately, a half-dead Celestial cannot compare to a fully healthy Celestial decked out in armor and ready for battle. There is no way he can match the god of fate in speed. The red spectres also couldn't catch up because the two of them are running towards the god of fate.
The god of fate closed in on Zernon first. He smiled when he reached Zernon.
He said to him as he grabbed his target, "I'm here Zernon."
"Thanks for coming to help. I have mistreated you all these years and yet you have co to help . Will you forgive ?"
Zernon was full of appreciation for Zerkon. He began thanking him and expressing remorse for his past behavior.
The god of fate stopped him. "There's no need for that. You were just doing what you had to do."
"Yes, I was. Wait, where are you going?"
Zernon noticed that Zerkon was flying toward Stelios instead of away from him. So he asked for information about their destination.
Zerkon replied, "To finish what I started."
The Celestial Supre agreed. "That's good too. That ungrateful bastard betrayed . Kill him for . I am sure to heal a good portion if I can consu him."
"Oh, there will be killing and consumption for sure." Zerkon smiled and said.
Then the god of fate reached out and grabbed Stelios too. Next, his body inflated into a round ball that engulfed the two Celestial orbs. The red spectres watched unable to do anything as the god of fate took both the god of order and god of the sun.
Zernon and Stelios found themselves within a large space within the ball that the god of fate has beco. Both of them are confused about what's going on. Their confusion was not cleared by what their captor said next.
Zerkon told them, "Now no one can interfere. You can fight to your heart's content."
The two of them would have hung their mouths open if they had mouths in their current state. They thought the god of fate ca to rescue Zernon but it seems he has other plans. He wants them to fight to the death without interference.
Zernon asked in fear. "What are you doing brother?"
Gone is the calling of the real na. Zernon disregarded the use of nas and resorted to pointing out their familial connection in this dire situation in hopes that Zerkon will change his mind.
"Brother?" The god of faith laughed. "When was the last ti you called that? I can't rember. But I do rember the last ti I called you brother. It was back then when I begged you to spare . I had just beco a Celestial but you refused to bulge on your rules. You wanted to kill . You wanted to kill your twin brother because of narcissism that you call principles."
Zernon begged. "I said I'm sorry. I had to."
"I knew you would do it because I know you had to. You have always been obsessively stubborn. I knew you would try to kill and I knew you would fail. But I begged you to spare anyway. You didn't listen to my pleas and you even refused to let go when you couldn't kill . You had to imprison in my own divine kingdom before you were satisfied."
Zernon yelled, "Kill then. If you are so bitter about how I treated you then you should kill with your own hands. Kill yourself."
"Oh, how I wish I could kill you. I am sure I would relish the pleasure of robbing you of your life. Unfortunately, I can't. I can't kill anything. It is the cost of being an observer."
Stelios' confusion has only grown stronger as he listened. He thought for a second that the god of fate wanted to kill him when he grabbed him. He was wrong about that but the reality of the situation doesn't make much sense either.
He thought to himself, 'The Celestial Supre had a brother? The god of fate is a Celestial? The brother of the Celestial Supre is the god of fate? He also had a son that he hid from all of us. There's so much we don't know about the Celestial Supre. Now his brother wants to kill him instead of helping him? And I thought my family is ssed up. My fake son tried to imprison while I ate my real children.'
"Now finish what you started. Kill him." Zerkon said to Stelios.
Stelios is more than glad to kill Zernon. The two of them resud their deathmatch under the gaze of the helper that Zernon called for anwhile the red spectres are locked outside unable to interfere.
