GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1134 The Right Choice.



The ancient Sun god, Helios' father died, his demigod brothers and sisters died, and even the gods died but he is still standing and he is standing strong. No one could have predicted this outcome when Helios was sent off by the people of the sun city. 

At most, they thought he would acquire a feat that would help him become a god himself. Then the world war happened where the gods fought each other. Helios survived that and also survived the invasion of the demons. Now the gods are dead and the demons have been banished from the plane. 

Hak couldn't help but marvel when he thought about everything that had happened in the past thousand years. "I made the right choice in supporting Helios. 

Some say that he betrayed the sun god. Those people are right but he doesn't care. He knows he betrayed the sun god for his son. The sun god was ancient and stagnant. Then his son came along and replaced him. It was the same son that he himself was entrusted with to raise. 

Besides the attachment he had to Helios which had a part to play in his decision to stick to the son of the sun god, the sun god couldn't give him the power he received from Helios. So Helios is the better option. History has proved it to be so. Supporting Helios was the right choice while the sun god is nowhere to be found.

The tree father was at peace despite the news of the death of 21 demorgorgs. He is being informed a little more than a month after the deaths have happened so the situation has lost its urgency. It is not that he is uncaring about the deaths. He is as caring as someone who cares a lot about their possessions. But he has a lot of demorgorgs so he is not too hurt by the loss.

Even now, more demorgorgs are being trained in several camps across his kingdom. Some will be created soon today during the initiation ceremony that takes place every month. He gets a constant flow of demorgorgs for him to be hung up about the death of 21 of them. 

Demorgorgs are the main fighting power of the kingdom of life apart from the plant spirits. They are the creation of both the Tree Father and Helios. The fusion of their knowledge of runes, divine energy, and sin energy produced this fruit which is an alternate path of power for the giants of order.

The demorgorgs function as the policing and military force of the kingdom since he doesn't want to and shouldn't use his vessels for everything. It is best that his believers are used for such matters. When their ability to safeguard the plane is added to their usefulness as believers and research subjects, it makes giants of order very useful and Legion very efficient with resources. 

Giants of order are trained right from a young age in academies dedicated to producing soldiers with exceptional mental resilience. This training continues for years during which they are instilled with discipline and complete loyalty to their god king. Some might call it brainwashing. They would be wrong to do so. 

The trainees only become demorgorgs after they become transcendents. It is at that point that they come to the tree father for the initiation. The tree father is the only entity that can perform the rites after all.

A four-star demorgorg came soon after with a bunch of recruits. The recruits are fresh out of the academy. They have met the requirements to become demorgorgs. 

The four-star demorgorg led them to the outer sanctuary where the roots of the tree father stop. That is where the mountain range flattens into the surrounding forest. That's where the initiation will occur. The recruits are too small and weak to get past all the roots and trees that form the inner sanctuary. 

The four-star demorgorg led the way while the recruits followed in a straight line like ducklings following their mother. They kept their head bowed in reverence despite their awe. They can see the top of the tree father from here. Their position is far enough to see where the crown of the god-king meets the boundary of the sky. 

The crown itself is composed of three types of leaves of fire. The flames that make up the leaves have three colors, white, orange, and green. So there are white, Orange, and green leaves. 

These leaves in addition to the glowing white branches and trunk make anyone who gazes upon the tree understand beyond any doubt that the tree is special. This beautiful sight is only overwhelmed by the fact that the god-king is so tall that he reaches the sky.

The four-star demorgorg ordered his recruits with a shout, "Stand at attention!"

All 11 of them stood straight immediately and saluted with their right hand formed into a fist over their chest while their left hand was by their side. They waited like that for a while until the wind started to blow. It was a gentle wind that rustled their hair playfully. 

Many of them were overwhelmed by the development. They have seen their god and see him every day but this is the first time they are feeling his attention on them. They want to cry or shout or jump. They want to do something to express the joy welling up within them. But they kept their composure. They didn't even smile. Though some of them shed silent tears, none of them broke their form. 

The wind flowed around them and inspected them closely. Those that pass the inspection are then initiated. Leaves that detached from the god-king himself came to them along with the wind. These leaves of three colors were then deposited on their bodies. 

Most of them shook and stifled some sounds as soon as the leaves touched them. The leaves look like tongues of fire. They are actually tongues of fire. They are real flames that burn and consume.
