GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Just saying how much stronger he would become after killing the Celestial of Power, the Celestial of Fire, and becoming the Celestial Supreme made the Celestial of Light make up his mind not to let this opportunity go at all costs. He has been fantasizing about it for a long time. But this time he might really achieve it.

It also isn't all about the allure of power. He made a blunder early into the rite of passage when he falsely accused the Shadow of Despair and amassed an army against him. That blunder will be the death of him as soon as the Shadow of Despair comes to the divine plane so he has to acquire power to ensure his survival.

The gods began to argue. Then they began insulting each other. That quickly devolved into the exchange of blows. They were soon at each other's throats.

The Phoenix watched all these while mocking them inwardly. She finds it funny that they are dying when they are about to gain immortality. "What a waste of power. It is such a pity that I can't take them by force. But that's okay. They will give themselves to the great mother willingly. Then they will achieve the immortality that they want so dearly."

She is proud of her race for their unity. There is probably no other race that can contend with them when it comes to unity. All of them are female like their Primogenitor and they are all of one mind with the great mother. So arguing amongst themselves is something that never happens.

The gods are the opposite of that unity that she PRIDE's herself on. It was amusing to watch such powerful beings bicker and argue despite being in danger. They are killing each other before the Supreme Beasts come up to kill them.

The Celestial of Fire tried to argue for peace and harmony. But peace and harmony mean nothing in the face of death. He is weak so he will be sacrificed for the good of all. That is what most of the gods want.

He has only maintained his position by suppressing the Celestial of Justice and power. But that can't work anymore. And its negative effects are coming back to bite him.

These negative effects have created a powerful problem for him because the suppression of the Celestial of Light and Justice is far-reaching. It is the major reason why the pantheon is weak.

The two Celestials with the most potential who can advance easily are the Celestial of Power and The Celestial of Light. The Celestial of Light can grow stronger but he is suppressed. The Celestial of Power can also grow stronger but she is suppressed by the Celestial of Light and the Celestial Supreme.

The Celestial of power may be allies with the Celestial Supreme but the Celestial Supreme didn't want her to gain enough Authority to rival him. That would create another Celestial of light who can threaten his position. It would automatically turn her from an ally into an enemy.

The suppression of his enemies and his allies was the best he could do to maintain his position since he was finding it very difficult to fuse other domains with his image of fire.

The Celestial of Light was easily able to fuse his domain with Justice. He can also add Power to it. Meanwhile, the only domain he can fuse with easily is the domain of Light and Power. That's the major problem that they have. Instead of helping each other grow stronger, they targeted and suppressed each other.

The Celestial Supreme even went so far as to prevent any Celestial of War from being created. The domain of War goes well with fire and power after all. He did so to prevent the Celestial of power from getting it.

The domain of War was useful to him but he didn't want to risk losing it to his ally so he stopped wars from happening in the plane. But then he was hailed as a peaceful Celestial because of his actions to prevent wars. That has further compounded his problem.

His image as the peaceful god of fire made it nearly impossible for him to fuse domains that should go well with fire. If he attempts them, then he will receive a massive backlash from his believers.

The Celestial of Light also helped him suppress the Celestial of Power by preventing wars and cracking down on gods that tried to condense the domain of war. However, the effect of such actions on the Celestial of Light and Justice is beneficial while it is bad for him.

So in a way, by suppressing his enemies, he was digging his grave while preparing the throne for his enemy. He gave up risks and the power that could possibly come from it. Now he has to bear the consequences of weakness.

"If only I could give up my title." He lamented.

That's the main issue here. It is not that he wants to stubbornly remain the Celestial Supreme. It is just that the only way for another Celestial Supreme to be crowned is when the previous one dies. He just can't quit his position. Only death will relieve him of that position. So he must try his best to live or die holding on to the throne.

A great fight started in the divine plane soon after. It had a large momentum because it involved almost every god. Many gods died very quickly but the war also ended very quickly.

The five Celestials ganged up on the two stubborn Celestials. This is not the first time that a coup would take place in the divine plane but the coup succeeded this time and without much effort too.

The Celestial of Light and Justice had the help of most of the Celestials this time around so there was a swift change in the leadership. The number of Celestials fell by two but they gained a Level 5 Celestial Supreme so it was a worthy trade and they became stronger for it.
