Stelios was pulled out of his thoughts by Zerkon's order. He pounced on Zernon immediately. There are a lot of confusing things happening right now but it hasn't changed his situation. He still needs power and killing Zernon will get him more power. So he will kill the Celestial Supreme and worry about the future later when he has a future to worry about.
Zerkon watched the fight with glee. He has waited so long for revenge. It has taken a long time but it is finally here and it is glorious.
The two of them are rare twins. Twins are very rare due to the low fertility of giants of order. Their parents were mortals and they were born when the era of gods was just starting. They are both males but they are not identical in looks or behavior. Zernon had always been a control freak right from when they were young. He would always tidy the house and keep things in order while Zerkon was a lazy layabout. Their differences only increased when their parents died.
The era of gods came with war and strife. Gods need faith and believers. They compete with other gods in various ways all of which impacted mortals in negative ways. Divine wars ravaged the plane like never before. Giants had nowhere to go because they have been locked into the plane. So they could only have conflict amongst themselves since they have conquered the other races.
The death of their parents hit Zernon too hard. He was very distraught and he blamed the world for the death of their parents. He believed it happened because of the chaos in the plane. So he set out to create order. He needed strength if he intends to bring order to the world and the only way to get is by becoming a god. That's why he started on the path of the divine. He became a player instead of a pawn and he changed the rules of the game.
Zerkon on the other hand accepted their parent's death as being natural. People die every time and the only reason they die is that they are weak. Their death may be a consequence of the strife among gods but it happened because they were weak. He learned that you need strength if you want to be able to live and do whatever you want. If you have strength, then you can become a player like the gods instead of being a pawn like the mortals. So he became a god so that he can control his fate and live out his life in peace.
The two of them have very different ideologies and goals. One of them made it his life's work to make the plane peaceful while the other would like to live a peaceful life without work. They both needed strength and only the path of divinity can give it to them. So they claimed the path so that they can achieve what they want.
Their differences led them to the same destination but Zernon reached it first. He became the first Celestial and imposed his order on the world. Zerkon knew his brother well so he began planning. He started a project called the GodSlayer meant to kill the Celestial Supreme. There was a god of justice that died so that Zernon could ascend but the god of justice didn't start the project.
Zernon made it look like the god of justice made it. Then he became a Celestial and put a vestige of his power into it. No one knew about his ascension, not even the Celestial Supreme. It was until he couldn't hold off on the upgrading of his divine kingdom anymore that Zernon knew.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Zernon became angry and violent when he found out. He tried to kill Zerkon. He was not willing to have a threat to the order he created exist even if that threat is his twin brother. For there to be peace, there can only be one supreme leader. Two beings at the top of the food chain will cause conflicts which will lead to chaos. Zernon was willing to avoid chaos at all costs, including sacrificing his twin brother, the only family he has left in the world.
Zerkon didn't die. He was forced to seclude himself but he has planned this revenge for a long time even before his brother tried to kill him. He used his visions of the future and the power of his domain to hatch the plot. The future is not certain so he put into place a lot of contingencies.
For example, the GodSlayer was created to destroy Zernon in any way possible but Zerkon knew that it couldn't do it. It can only injure the Celestial Supreme at best even if he added his Celestial authority to it and everything falls into place. It is because order resists changes and is the most defensive domain.
So with this in mind, he added his vestige as a sort of programming to make sure that no matter who the GodSlayer targets, the attack will always lock on and shoot at Zernon no matter where he is. That is unless Zernon is within the GodSlayer himself. If he is in the GodSlayer himself, then the attack will explode and injure him. That is unless there is a better alternative such as some other people who have a better plan to kill Zernon.
Zerkon planned for every alternative future that he saw and even then Zernon didn't die because of the GodSlayer. Zernon is not fated to die by anyone's hand. Fate loves Zernon because of all the good he has done for his plane so it will try to protect him. It's how he survived his fight with Helios. Helios was stronger but he couldn't kill Zernon then and there.
Helios gave up because of the disadvantage of the battlefield and because he doesn't want to become a god. He would have failed if he tried to kill Zernon there. One thing or another would have happened to save the Celestial Supreme. Fate has decreed that Zernon couldn't die except by the hands of his betrayer while he is weakened.
