HELIOS' POV.

What he is going through is unprecedented. It made him question what he knows and examine what he thought to be true. Anyone will question themselves if had they gone through what he went through only for them to start experiencing what is currently happening. He almost died as Helios the Giant of the sun but he recovered as something else.

"What is power?" He asked himself.

He answered his own question. Power is Influence. Power is control. Power is freedom. Power is the ability to do anything.

He asked himself again, "What is real power?"

He answered his question again. Real power is the difference between the abilities of two entities. Real power is relative. An origin god might be powerful enough to kill a sovereign with a wave of his hand but will be powerless against a world god. That's why real power is not stable. It changes based on what you want to do with it.

"Why do we chase power?"

For freedom mostly. For joy. And for peace. There's a peace of mind to knowing that nothing can threaten you in the lower realm as an Origin god unless you enter the divine plane.

"What are the types of power?"

The two types of power are the power that is bestowed to you and the power that you acquire yourself. Even the power that you acquire for yourself can also be external or internal. That's why there is the path of perfection and the path of divinity. Those on the path of perfection acquire power by themselves. Those on the path of divinity are bestowed that power through the faith and belief of others.

"How is power acquired?"

Through evolution. Through the upgrade of life's order. Most specifically through the refinement path.

One can be born as a sentient being of the lowest of mortals with the power of a body-forging stage refiner. That changes as you evolve. You become stronger. From vitality core to the mana body stage and then transcendence. This power comes from the inherent increase in capabilities. But it ends once transcendence is achieved.

Achieving transcendence is the limit of inherent and internal power. Innate potential has been exhausted at this point so Transcendents must look outward for power. They must use their new ability to sense laws to empower themselves.

Transcendents must comprehend laws and acquire power from the universe through the acknowledgment of the law matrix. Those that cannot do so are forever locked at the stage of transcendence. They may have broken their limits but they can go no further without external help.

Then one has to look inwards if they are to grow stronger. A king must use the external help he acquired from the universe to forge a path for himself thus becoming a titan of law. The titan of law becomes a Sovereign when the path is finished. The Sovereign becomes an origin god when he manages to fuse with his seed of power and becomes a concept.

That is how power is acquired.

"What is going on with me?" Helios asked himself.

That is the pertinent question. If you encounter something new, something previously unseen or unheard of, you use your experience to try and figure out what it is, in this case, what is going on. A lot of questions and answers whirled through Helios's mind for him to figure out what was going on.

Fortunately, he found answers. He knows what has happened and how it is happening, and why it is happening.

An entity should remain the same perpetually if no impetus for change external or internal is applied to that entity. He is evolving without any internal impetus for change. He is growing stronger without any effort from himself. That means that whatever is making him evolve must be external.

The next issue is that this external force that is making him stronger is uncalled for. Even gods who are bestowed power have to do something to get that power. They have to be in a position to acquire it. No one in their house becomes a god unless a multitude of people mistake them for a god and pray to them. Even then, the person has to accept the power and the responsibility that comes with it before they can ascend to become a god.

But that isn't the situation with Helios. Apparently, the universe has mistaken him for a star. And for some reason or another, it has decided to buff him up as if he is a malnourished star in dire need of cosmic energy. Even more ridiculous is that he has no say in the matter. He has been labeled a star by the law matrix of the universe and that's what he will be until the day he breaks free from the law matrix.

So in a way, he is the mortal that was mistaken for a god and then forcefully exalted onto the position of Godhood. He has had Godhood thrusts upon him without his permission or consent. In this case, he has had the power to become a star thrust upon him and he must become a star because the universe will not have it any other way.

The situation isn't exactly bad. He isn't being taken as a prisoner permanently. His current situation is one giant coincidence and it is temporary. He had the sun god in his Stigmata before he collapsed. He was the ground zero of the issue that almost killed all of them. The sun god didn't survive the incident but he did. His existence changed though. He did not come out of near death by a singularity of infinite possibilities unscathed.

His body, soul, divine power, Celestial Godhood, Celestial Authority, and Stigmata containing the fragments of order, origin energy, and chaos energy clashed and were fused by the occurrence to form the singularity of infinite possibilities. The universe had to annex the singularity to fix it and that means annexing him too.
