Basil's birth happened because of a higher being's intervention. He had been tangled up in the affair of the Gods even before he was born and he was by no means pleased to know that. He wanted to do things that he decided himself. Knowing that information made him feel like he had been walking down the path the Gods had designated for him.
He had been anticipating the move of the God who had given him his second chance and the turn of events added another one to his God-to-mind list. The Lord had the most influence on him at this moment, yet he wasn't worried about it. He was confident he would be able to devour the said God's soul. If push comes to shove, he would destroy the soul and risk crippling his soul. It was a price he was willing to pay for keeping his body his.
