Origin gods are very powerful beings. If a titan can be likened to an exploding star and a sovereign is soone that has gained control of the star such that they can control the intensity of the explosion, then origin gods have gained perfect control of that star. They have perfect control of the star because they have beco one with the star, so the matter of control is a foregone conclusion. The amount of energy they contain is sothing that is above the safety levels of a plane, that is why they face a huge amount of suppression in planes. If an origin god were to explode, it might lead to a catastrophe powerful enough to wipe out all life forms in the entire plane. That is if the plane isn't destroyed. Origin gods are that dangerous, even the ancient battlefield suppresses them but not as much as the planes.
With this suppression cos a feeling of sickness. The feeling of sickness is also accompanied by the loss of control. A titan can be likened to a driver that doesn't know how to drive a vehicle. The driver must sohow learn how to drive that vehicle before it crashes and the driver dies. A sovereign has mastered the art of driving, such that he can make all manners of maneuvres, stop the vehicle to refill its tank so it doesn't run out of fuel, and hook up a carriage or control a tool attached to the vehicle. An origin god has beco the vehicle itself. To suppress the vehicle is to make so parts malfunction. Hence the feeling of sickness and loss of control.
Guntu had been used to the world bending to his will but the plane was not going to have any of that because to allow that, is to permit its own destruction. In no way is the plane going to have such unstable elents get loose within it.
The Sovereigns were understanding but the situation wasn't that bad for them. They just drive the vehicle, after all, they will only get frustrated if the vehicle malfunctions. It is still an unpleasant feeling, that's why sovereigns don't stay in planes.
"It is still bearable for us, but barely." They replied.
Ghoto decided to find sothing to distract him. "Let's get this over with then. I can't wait."
The feelings of frustration reduced significantly when Guntu rembered that there could be a fight. He was itching to destroy sothing.
"Yes, great ancestor. We are almost there."
It took them seconds to transverse from the point of entry to the inner city. It seed fast to cross kiloters in a matter of seconds but to Guntu it seed like the world was too slow. He could have covered that distance in a single step if he were allowed to move freely. The top speed he can move at has been lowered to that of a transcendent. He still retained his superior acceleration but even that has been slashed to barebones.
They all arrived at the family headquarters in the center of the inner city.
"I'll et ancestor creeping dwarf first," Guntu said to them. The Sovereigns nodded in understanding. Only them knew why he was really here.
"We have no problems with that. We will wait here. You can reach us through this Rune." They replied.
An ancient voice intruded on their conversation. "Is that you Guntu boy?"
Guntu's face twitched.
"Greetings ancestor. It seems you haven't lost your hobby of snooping on people. I didn't think you will notice this soon."
The creeping dwarf usually monitors the entire city. The large size of the city coupled with its slow thinking speed makes it very difficult for it to notice and single out a person quickly. It just so happens that Hadrick had been on edge recently so much that he had been putting extra effort into monitoring all the movents within the city, but he wouldn't say that.
"Are you calling slow?" Hadrick asked.
"Yes, ancestor," Guntu replied. The Sovereigns were appalled.
Hadrick snorted.
"You have lost your cuteness ever since you beca an origin god. I rember when you used to cause trouble throughout the city back then and I had to ground you. You were such a cute troublemaker, now you have the guts to say I'm slow."
"I rember that clearly. You always whipped ." Guntu complained. The Sovereigns listening at the side wished they could disappear. "We will be going now." They said hurriedly before actually disappearing.
Hadrick sighed. "Good tis. Those were good tis. Now I hardly have anyone to talk to."
Guntu grew up in this city like all the children with the awakened bloodline of the family. But unlike other children who awakened to transcendent lightning affinity, he awakened to transcendent destruction affinity. Its impact on his personality was imnse. While other kids were full of energy and rash, he wanted to see destruction and more destruction. He wanted the world to be drowned in fire, water, storms, landslides or whatever was disastrous enough. He would always play pranks that cause damage to life and properties. The only way to scare children like him was to prank them with a realistic illusion of the taboo race. Even that only worked temporarily on Guntu.
Guntu's face began twitching more. "We will talk about that later ancestor. Where are the enemies?"
"Which enemies? Where are they? Are they here already?" Hadrick asked in a panic.
Guntu's face fell. "I ca all the way here to protect you from so attackers and you don't know them?"
"Oh that. Don't scare . I said I might be attacked. There is no attack yet. Wait, are you the only one that ca here?"
"I'm not the only one that ca, see I brought this guy too. He is a true man." Guntu indicated to the origin god on his shoulder.
"That is a living thing? I thought it was a weapon or sothing with all that erratic energy coming from it. I honestly thought it was a bomb. That doesn't look natural at all. How could an origin god beco that? Is that even safe to have in the city?"
"Forget that. You an to say I ca here and there is no fight happening."
"There might be a fight. That's why I asked for so strong people to co here. I am hoping no fighting will actually occur. You just have to be patient and we will find out."
"Patient my ass. Did soone threaten you? Let go and finish this right now." Guntu asked earnestly. He didn't want to spend more ti in this sickening place.
Hadrick paused. "How do I put this? I have information from a reliable source that I might be attacked during this period of ti."
Guntu didn't believe one bit of it. "Is this your paranoia acting up again. No one will attack you. No one ever does." He sounded exasperated.
"This is not paranoia but reliable Intel from a reliable source. The city might be attacked and I don't want harm to co to the precious descendants living here. I'm a caring ancestor that way."
"I call Rhineshit. Who doesn't know that you're scared for your life? Can't I just leave a clone?"
"No. I want real protection. Co and tell stories of your adventure while we wait. I am sure you have a lot to tell since the last ti we t. When was it again? Sothing around 200 cycles. Ti sure flies fast."
"You're right. I have so much to tell." Guntu relented. If there was only one thing that he inherited from his ancestor, it is the ability to engage in long chats. They derive joy from talking. It is why Hadrick beca fond of Ghastorix and why so descendants in the family have trouble controlling their voices.
Hadrick beca excited imdiately. "Let's start with how that thing you are carrying is a person and not a bomb that is about to blow up. I need reassurance that it is safe to be anywhere near ."
Guntu could only accept for now. He brought the "true man" with him to an entrance that led to the center of the forest. But this arrangent didn't last long. Guntu couldn't take it anymore. Even his beloved storytelling couldn't get rid of the ache in his body, mind, and soul. The drink in his gourd didn't taste right anymore too, it had been tampered with by the laws of the plane. The plane doesn't want a bottled-up star around after all. In a perfect environnt, Guntu could tell stories for decades at a ti but now, all it took for Guntu to break was 3 days. History has shown that when Guntu becos bored, sothing big must happen. Guntu's boredom as a child is the prelude to widespread destruction. It is a wonder what he will get up to as an Origin god.
