Zerkon laughed for a while as he watched Helios' and Aeternus's futile attempts to hurt him. He is not like Zernon and his rules. Zerkon doesn't have any rules whatsoever. He is jovial and also detached from reality.
Then he stopped and said to them, "Don't bother trying anymore. You can not hurt . You can't even touch as long as your action can hurt . The only person that could touch while trying to hurt was Zernon. And that's only because he was the Celestial Supre. Even then, he couldn't kill . He is dead now and I will beco the next Celestial Supre. So give it up. I don't see any possibility of you ever harming ."
Zerkon is not like his controlling brother who seeks to control the world or like his nephew who is afraid of the world and chose to control a secluded part of the world. Zerkon accepts that bad things happen and they can happen to good people. He believes that anything can happen and trying to prevent it is not the way. So he gave up on the world and in return, disconnected himself from reality.
It is not a total disconnection. He is still connected to the world or no one will be able to see him. The domain of Order protects through resistance while fate protects through non-interference. Zerkon has left things up to fate and chosen to beco an observer. His position as an observer has elevated his existence and made him immune to the changes of the world.
He is like a three-dinsional entity watching two-dinsional entities on paper. They can't harm him no matter what they do. Even if the two-dinsional figures manage to co out of the paper as Zernon did when they fought by bending the rules with his law of order, it doesn't change the fact that Zernon is still a two-dinsional figure and as such, there is a limit to what he can do. He was able to touch Zerkon and harm him, but they were insignificant scratches.
All of these co with a rule or weakness. Zerkon must limit his interference with the world as much as possible or the changes of the world will begin to affect him and he will beco subject to the sa rules as the two-dinsional figures he is looking down upon. That's why he suggested the contract of non-interference to Zernon to pacify him.
If Zernon had persisted in his endeavor to kill him, it would have led to more interactions with the world. In a way, if Zernon had continued to scratch harmlessly at Zerkon, those insignificant scratches will grow stronger over ti until Zernon can do real damage. Zerkon chose wisely to pacify him and bid his ti. Now he has reaped the fruit of his patience. Zernon is dead and he has the Authority of the Celestial Supre.
"It is good that you are here to witness my coronation. It would have been terribly lonely since you have killed the other gods." He said to them as he chuckled with mirth.
Then he clapped and said, "It is an honor to have my coronation witnessed by a demon king and a very talented half-celestial. Not many have that privilege so I must give thanks."
Then he put the shining ball into his chest and absorbed it. He began to glow brightly. Light stread out from the gaps in his armor. His golden skin turned white as power filled him. He began to chuckle again and it soon turned into laughter. His laughter beca unhinged the more he laughed.
"I have finally achieved my dream. I have beco untouchable. I will live forever. I will be eternal. It is my future. It is my destiny."
He continued to laugh even when he returned to normal. His laughter is the diabolical sound that a villain makes after their plan succeeds. The god of fate's plan worked and he is very happy about it. He didn't speak to them again after he beca the new Celestial Supre. He decided he has places to be so he left them.
He passed through the layers of barriers that Helios placed around him as if they weren't there. Helios and Aeternus shared a look then they left unwillingly. There's nothing they can do to the god of fate. They can only accept that they've been cheated. They can only sulk and sche.
Helios said to the other two, "The Users of fate are too powerful. We cannot continue like this or we will be manipulated easily."
Aeternus agreed. "Even my entry into the world was orchestrated by him. I don't believe it is by chance."
Their original plan was to use divine life energy from the tree father in Helios' breakthrough to transcendence. Helios would then beco a king of law but he won't have any Authority because the Authority of life is not compatible with the divine power in his sun core. The sa thing happened to Soverick when he used divine life energy to break through. His stats were abnormal but he didn't get the Authority of Life either.
Celestial Authority didn't matter then to their plan. Helios would take ti to comprehend the laws and beco a titan. Then he will be strong enough to defend Aeternus when Aeternus enters the divine plane. But the tree father discovered the diary of the demigod that bore Zernon's son when he was searching for the divine weapon. They also discovered Stelios' agenda when the tree father finally acquired enough believers and could produce divine life energy.
The discovery of the diary didn't an much on its own. But it beca extrely significant when they combined it with Helios's knowledge of runes and Stelios' plan. So Legion revised their plan and decided to take Stelios Authority and combine it will the Celestial Authorities of Life and that of Order from Zernon's son. It ant they could cut down on ti very quickly and bring Aeternus to the mortal realm sooner than planned.
