The god of knowledge stopped laughing when he realized that something is amiss.
"Forget about their stupidity, how did they even manage to know about the GodSlayer? Was the project not a secret as I thought?" He stamped his foot on the ground and complained. It seems everyone knows about his secret project. It is a humbling and shameful realization.
He soon found something else odd about the change to the GodSlayer.
"That green should be the authority of the god of the church of life, the hidden god. Who is the other one? Is there another Celestial I don't know?"
So the Saboteurs failed and that is funny but the fact that two unaffiliated entities with Celestial Authority managed to tamper with the GodSlayer is enough of an insult to him. It meant that others knew about the GodSlayer apart from the Celestial Supreme. One of them is the hidden god and the other one is some unknown celestial. He knows of the hidden god and has seen the manifestation of its Authority to recognize it. He doesn't know the other Authority.
Either way, the GodSlayer can't be stopped now. Not that it needs to be stopped. The situation is clearly in the gods' favor now. The GodSlayer is being strained because of the extra power but it is stronger than before. That demon king is sure to be riddled with holes if he doesn't die outright. The core of a demon is its soul so the demon should die or be expelled back to its resurrection point in the abyss if it has one.
The gods watched with anticipation waiting to see the result of a one-of-a-kind weapon. Meanwhile, there's an awkward situation inside the large sphere that contains the bulk of the attack.
All the gods have been rendered unconscious to protect their minds from the effects of the collision except Stelios and Zernon. The two of them are Celestials with Authority so they remain aware of the situation. They were able to notice the odd enhancement of the attack by two different Celestial Authorities.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) A green flame and a golden string appeared beside the symbol of the star and that of the hammer and the scale. The hammer was confused by the situation too. It jumped to a conclusion.
He yelled at the newcomer, "You scoundrel, you're trying to sabotage the attack."
He sensed everything carefully and realized that everything was going well, too well, better even.
"Wait, you're making this better. Are you trying to help with killing the demon king?" Zernon asked them in a quieter voice.
He felt impressed by these two Celestials' willingness to forgo their hatred of him so that they can destroy the demon king. He is also chilled by the act of the god of life who is trying to get rid of the demon king after having benefitted from the demons. All in all, he is impressed with their dedication to the plane. Their action won't stop his hatred of them. It will only make him lenient when he gives out their punishment in the future.
Stelios was more confused about something else. The Celestial Supreme might know the two helpful guests but he doesn't know who the golden string is.
But it was the green flame that asked the question that he wanted to ask. "Who are you?"
That is the elephant in the room. Few people know who the golden string is. Not even the hidden god knows about this hidden god.
The golden string hummed and answered. "I can't say."
The green flame continued to examine the golden string but it couldn't discern anything from this unknown Celestial.
It muttered, "This complicates things. It seems we had the same idea. Either you had it after me which makes you a manageable threat or you had it before me which makes you a terrifying threat. Either one isn't good and they both complicate matters."
The golden string chuckled. "It's funny that I think otherwise. Then again, I might just be biased. After all, I had the idea first and I also knew you would be here."
The green flame turned silent at that.
The hammer and the star were listening to the conversation but they don't understand what was going on. Zernon became suspicious because of the cryptic conversation and something unexplained became glaring.
"Wait a minute. How did you void your contract of non-interference?" He asked the golden string.
He wants to know how the god of fate bypassed the restrictions of their contract to help him. He doesn't remember freeing the golden string from the contract so the god of fate shouldn't be here. The god of fate should be lazying about in his divine kingdom of fate strings, not in this attack.
Zernon doesn't know that the help that the two newcomers are currently rendering was programmed into the GodSlayer sometimes before the GodSlayer was loaded. His sense of the outside world is limited in his new strange form, so he thinks that these two added their help only recently. So the god of fate has not broken his contract. If he knew this then he wouldn't have asked that question.
The god of fate turned silent this time around.
The green flame asked the golden string, "Is your Authority Fate?"
The golden string continued to remain silent.
The tree father couldn't help but think about his situation. He found out about the GodSlayer when a kidnapped demigod tried to batter with him for his release. The demigod didn't know much about it or what it does but he overheard it from a god. The tree father's found it through a plant spirit. Then he planted an attachment on the machine after examining it.
What he planted on it was hidden from the other gods. Even the Celestial Supreme didn't sense it because it wasn't active. It will only become active when the weapon is ready to launch. The attachment can enhance the attack or blow up the GodSlayer. The attachment is a vestige of the tree father so the tree father is not actually here.
It is obvious that the golden string is a vestige too but when did he attach himself too it? Was it before or after the tree father decided to sabotage the GodSlayer? Also, how come they both had the same idea?
