Lex also pondered the possibility of nurturing a Deity of his own, but eventually dismissed it. As he grew in power, anything a Deity was able to do, he would be able to do. As it was, even as an Earth Immortal, the scope of his power was incredible.
Besides, Cassandra had told him not to step onto the path of the Divine, and even Vinei, who had become a Deity, seemed to be regretting it. There was effectively no purpose to nurturing a Deity of his own.
But then, his thoughts went into another direction. While he could not nurture a Deity, a Phoenix…
"So does that mean the other Deities are all Phoenixes as well?" Lex asked, once Vinei handed him a Phoenix feather, and they left the temple, returning to the battlefield.
"Yes, all five of us were Phoenixes once. As it is, there is only one left now."
"So does that mean that all the Sol birds are descendants of Phoenixes?"
