Power surged in Sol's body as he killed the Demigod, He absorbed the shards it possessed when he killed it, the shard he absorbs was different than every shard he had absorbed before, it was a complete divinity of a demigod rather than a piece of Apollo's divinity.
He felt like there was a sun burning endlessly inside him, it was the demigod's divinity, and there was also a countless smaller source like a star on the sky, it was Apollo's shattered divinity.
In essence, he had enough divinity to be a demigod, but Demigod was not just about divinity but make it your own power.
Sol had stepped foot outside the door of Demigod but he had not stepped in yet, to be a Demigod, he needed to make the Divinity become his.
"This is it, this is the power I need to protect everyone," Sol muttered as he felt his body grow stronger.
Even though he grew stronger, Sol was not near unbeatable, Nerodia at her peak would win against the current him ten out of ten times in a fair fight.
