Some entities succeeded in freeing themselves. The first ones are the Colossus and the Behemoths. The transcendents of the giants of order began to move as seen on the divine battlefield.
The gods had called a truce when the situation with the decree of the Celestial Supreme came up. They were waiting for the conclusion of that event before they return to their fighting so all the soldiers are on standby.
Right now on the battlefield, all the soldiers have frozen. Then the transcendents began to move. First, their fingers twitched, then their hand moved before their arms and legs became capable of mobility too.
They freed themselves from the stasis and looked at the frozen world in confusion. Their gods sent information to them. They calmed down when they realized what is going on. Then they spread their domain to unfreeze everything within it. The weaker mana entities within their domain became free from the stasis too and went about whatever they are doing.
The other mana entities of the giants of order that aren't within the domains of transcendents will be fine too. They might not be able to move but they can breathe. The law fragments within their body are strong enough to resist most external influences including a watered-down Order of the Celestial Supreme. So the space within their lungs is unfrozen and can be moved.
It is not as if they are as strong as the Celestial Supreme but because the power of the order has spread all over the plane. If it were focused then no mortal can stand a chance. Even gods have been shown to succumb to his Order of silence.
So only transcendents, mana entities of the race of giants of order, and demigods can move. Nothing else should be able to move. The rest will die including those 100 mana entities trying to digest divinity. They are not demigods yet, so they can not move, unlike the ant queen.
The Celestial Supreme might have flipped out but he knew what he was doing. He is trying to choke out the sources of trouble at once. It is either this or starting a heroic quest to remove all of the others but another error like the kidnapped demigods can arise. The only way to prevent that is to send out 100 Colossus to get rid of the aspirants to Godhood but he doesn't want to do that. This way of freezing everything is more efficient and will certainly get rid of the trouble.
He sighed and sat back on his throne when he sensed the full nature of the situation. He rubbed his face wearily with one hand while he muttered, "Ashes to Ashes. I will rebuild a new order from the chaos. Everything will be alright."
This entire thing might be a distraction. The hidden god first used the negotiation to delay. But he was decisive and he allowed the negotiation to take place. Then the ants asked for Helios. The gods would have argued about it and become distracted because of the problem. Another war might be declared too. He stopped the situation from spiraling with his quick response.
Helios was sacrificed. Then the situation of the 100 mana entities suddenly appeared. It is obvious that the hidden god is trying to distract. He could fall for it by trying to snuff out the problems one by one or he could just suffocate everything. The death of the innocent entities is worth it if he can curb the hidden god's agenda.
He maintained his focus on the ant mound and instructed his Colossus to continue towards it. The ant queen is a demigod so she is still moving. The Colossus will get there and kill her. He intends to put out all the sparks of chaos before he releases the mortal realm from its stasis. He doesn't care about the innocent other races that will die because of his order. Only giants are important to his world order.
His wish must be done at all costs, even if that means the death of billions. In any case, only strength matters. He is strong and he wants to freeze everything. If you're strong too then don't freeze when he says so. If you're weak and can't unfreeze yourself, then your opinion doesn't matter.
It is also convenient that the giants of Order will be least affected. They have the only transcendents in the plane because they kill any transcendent from other races. If not for the ant queen, they will also have the only demigods in the plane too. Their mana entities can survive so all is well with the giants of order.
He was about to relax when he heard a noise. It is the noise that occurs when transcendents break free from his order to FREEZE. This noise sounded 200 times. At first, he wasn't concerned. It is odd that there are some transcendents of the giants that were slow to break the bond and it is also odd that these slow pokes broke free at the same time.
But that's just it, odd. Totally nothing to worry about. Still, he investigated. His obsession won't let him relax until he makes sure everything is in order. His investigation came up with nothing. He couldn't sense any of these 200 transcendents that broke free at virtually the same time.
"This is bad." His voice sounded distraught.
The only thing he could sense are 200 small blank zones within the effect of his order. The reality of the situation hit him. He just realized that there are transcendents in the plane that he doesn't know about. So in fact, giants of Order aren't the only transcendents in the plane.
He can't see them, sense them, or recognize any divine power on them which means they are not affiliated with any god. It is only now that he found out about their existence. They have been hiding somehow under his surveillance. If not for his outburst, he would have remained ignorant of their existence. Somehow, the other races have created transcendents and have kept them hidden from him.
