The invocation of the law matrix used to happen back in the day when the giants were chased back to their plane from the ancient battlefield. Those from other races that chased after the giants of Order used to break through once in a while. Then they all left because of the unconducive condition of the plane and because the giants of Order were killing every foreigner. Since then, no one has invoked the law matrix. Not until today.
Without Origin energy, transcendents, lords, and kings lost their advantage. Titans could still use the power of the world but the drought of origin energy escalated the process by which their essence leaked out of them thereby reducing their lifespan. So the majority of them left and those that didn't leave died until the plane was empty of foreigners from the ancient battlefield that came to the Zargoth plane to hunt giants.
That was thousands of origin cycles ago. This type of thing hasn't happened for thousands of origin cycles. But it is happening again, but this time, to a giant of order.
Someone asked, "What is going on?"
It is an understandable question since some haven't ever witnessed such an event. It was ages ago before most of them were born that this last occurred. Only the oldest of them have ever heard of something like this. So many of the gods don't know what they are looking at but it certainly looks awesome to witness.
"Isn't that Stelios's son?"
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ This is the prevalent question in the minds of those that know about what's going on. Even the ignorant ask this question after being informed of the significance of this event. The oddity of the event aside, the person it is happening to should not be a giant of order. So they had to ask to make sure that the person they are looking at is indeed Helios whom some of them witnessed his birth.
The crowd of gods was thrown into chaos. There are so many reasons why it shouldn't be happening. First, there is no Origin energy, so transcendents shouldn't be able to sense the law matrix. Next, he is a giant of order. So even if there is Origin energy, he shouldn't be able to sense the law matrix. Last but not the least, and probably the greatest reason why this shouldn't be happening is that Helios just became a transcendent a few minutes ago.
There are a lot of steps to becoming a king of law. First, you have to open your Origin core and build Origin channels to it. Then you have to accumulate Origin energy within your Origin core and comprehend laws. When the laws are comprehended the universe rewards you by converting the energy you have accumulated into first the Authority of a Lord of law after a 50% comprehension of a law followed by its upgrade into the Authority of a king of law after the full comprehension of a law.
In other words, there are levels to breakthroughs. People just don't jump from one level to another only a few moments after becoming transcendent or in this case, skip an entire level moments after becoming a transcendent. They just don't become kings of laws and omit the lord of law stage.
Even if all of that were possible, giants of Order can't become lords, and becoming kings of law is a thing of a dream since they can't sense other laws. And yet, Helios apparently succeeded. It implies that he can sense laws, comprehend them and even finish comprehending them without facing the obstruction of the law fragments of Order that have bonded with his body and soul.
The god of knowledge's voice rose above the crowd as he shouted. "This is unprecedented, we must study him and figure out how he did it. His breakthrough represents the path forward for our race."
The possibility of growth for their race is too appealing to the god of knowledge. He doesn't care about their race, just the new field of knowledge that Helios represents.
Another god supported him. "That's true. Our race has a lot of potential. Imagine what we can do if we can become lords of law. We'll develop and have access to the ancient battlefield."
Some Actually care about the welfare of their race. They have been stuck in this dying plane for generations. Their rate of childbirth has fallen precariously. The lack of mana will soon be the death of them and Helios's breakthrough represents salvation from that unpleasant end.
Without mana, they will stop growing stronger and giving birth eventually or their race might devolve. But if they can comprehend laws, then they will be able to risk opening the plane again and returning to the ancient battlefield. If Helios can become a king of law and in a few minutes no less, then maybe other giants of order can too.
But another god shouted, "We have to get rid of him. The legacy of the gods will end with the rise of the path of perfection. We can't let transcendents grow stronger or they will start trying to get origin energy within the plane. It will lead to a war that might end the gods."
This god got a lot of support from the pantheon. Mortals are selfish, gods are more so. They have a good thing going here. They are gods and are worshipped and adored. A change in the status quo might disrupt that. The path of perfection is usually the enemy of those on the path of divinity. Is it a good idea to foster future enemies?
The gods already have a hard time controlling transcendents. If transcendents get an alternative then serving the gods will become a poor choice for them. They will go to the ancient battlefield where they will grow stronger than the gods and then return to terrorize them.
Most of the gods aren't willing to risk their power and status for the good of the race. Even if the race does die or devolve, the gods will continue to remain on top until the very end and that is good enough for them.
