Chapter 328 The Ancient Sun God.

He looked at the city one last time.

'I doubt I'll miss this place.' he thought to himself.

He doesn't have any great memories here and he isn't attached to it in any way. He stayed cooped up in his residence for 100 years. He might not return here anymore if he has his way. This quest that he is going on will kick-start a lot of things. He might even die. So he will probably never return.

'That speech should be enough for the mortals and the divine. Now to leave.'

His tattoos began to light up. It turned his orange skin into golden yellow and his eyes into pure white. White tattoos appeared on his golden skin. His golden hair turned into a golden flame with the occasional streaks of red. Then he rose into the sky and flew away.

The crowd went into an uproar. Hak was the most shocked of all. He looked at the disappearing comet that used to be Helios with his mouth hung open.



"Did he just fly?" He asked aloud but no one is paying attention to him or his question.

Even the Spectating gods are not paying attention to him. They are also focused on Helios.

"What a demigod. Truly one of a kind. Even Transcendents can't fly. How did he do that?" The goddess of power and might asked Stelios.

She and her partner, the god of war came to visit the sun god and watch the heroic quest. The three of them are sitting on large fluffy chairs while angels are waiting on them. They are all in their giant form. Stelios is shining brightly. The goddess of power and might is buffed with rippling muscles that look like steel cables. The god of war is the most normal-looking one. He is just clad in blue metallic armor marred with bloodstains of different colors.

There's a large screen, about 100 meters in length and 60 meters in breath in front of them. Helios' figure can be seen on it. He is streaking through the sky like a burning meteor.

"He isn't anything special. It's just his rune that's making him fly. It's very common." Stelios answered.





"A Rune can do that? But there are no moving parts. Who did he get the rune from?" The goddess of power and might became curious.

Giants of order can not use spells or magic because of their anti-magic domain unless they are demigods and become transcendents. Even then they are limited to spells that their divine power can use. If one of those two factors is missing, giants of order even if they are transcendents, can't use magic.

They also cannot fly naturally. It doesn't matter if they are mana entities or transcendents. It is just like the use of magic. Only special transcendent demigods can do it and demigods of the sun god are not among these special ones that can fly. The best alternative they can use is the help of runes. But such runes manifest at external aids like wings. So she is curious about where Helios got a rune that could cause him to levitate without external aids.

Stelios lied, "It is one of my works. I have never been able to use it but Helios has a special constitution."

What Helios has accomplished with his rune is more than groundbreaking, it is unimaginable. He made his body innately capable of flight. It is unheard of in the history of giants. He will be hounded if they suspect he created it. It is better for him if Stelios claims credit for the rune.

The gods will only be mildly surprised and greatly impressed if they think Stelios did it. Things will end there because he is powerful and they cannot ask about his secrets. They will be overly curious if they find out that a 100-year-old teenager did it. That will bring unwanted attention to Helios. So it is best that he claims credit so that no one investigates Helios because of it and discovers something out of the ordinary like how he is not shackled by order.

The goddess nodded, "That's true, you have always been good with runes."

Stelios laughed. "I haven't always been good with runes. I've just spent a lot of time on it. Time can make anyone an expert at something."

The goddess shook her head. "You're being modest. My father told me you have always been good with runes. You have a gift for it. Besides, you are not an expert. You're clearly an innovator in the field."

Stelios is ancient. He is so Ancient, that he is more than 30 times older than these two friends of his. Their faction is one that was established a long time ago by the first gods of war, power and might, and Stelios. Their faction has stayed together over the years. Stelios was friends with the father of the current goddess of power and might. He was also friends with her grandfather.

Demigods have a lot of uses for a god. One such use is to inherit the Godhood of a god when that god succeeds in the trail of heaven and switches to the path of perfection. Without a demigod, the divine domain will be torn apart because of conflict and strife by those that want to take over the domain.

A demigod will be able to smoothly transition as the controller of the domain since they have a divine core with the divine energy of that domain. To the mortals, it will be like the god that left, was never gone. There won't be divine wars and the churches won't spilt. Things will continue as they were with no one the wiser.

Stelios hasn't been able to leave his position as the sun god. His weakness stopped him from becoming the first celestial god and it is also stopping him from transitioning to the path of perfection. Fortunately, he came across something that will solve his problems.
