I didn't even realize it yet. But Dustroz had dimmed with the entire surroundings. It wasn't until I looked to Velces a.d noted the horror in his gaze that I panicked and looked down. Alas it was too late. The flames spread and two beings floated as a white light flooded everything.
'This wasn't the birthday present I had in mind'.
FEW MOMENTS EARLIER
Dustroz was aflame, and not in the normal way. The blue sun was burning with a gold fire that stemmed straight from it's core. The process was something that many would be shocked to note since it was a situation that wasn't supposed to happen.
Of course if the knew that Erizos had used the sun's core for Velces then they'd be lip sealed and just shocked.
But if they knew he succeeded they'd be even more stunned. The highest for a God was having control or authority over a celestial body but not actually being one with it.
But of course Erizos didn't exactly know the effects of what he was doing until it was too late. Dustroz almost like it had sentience could feel the connection growing between it and the still forming Velces. The more the connection grew the hotter the sun grew.
It was so hot that the blue glow it emitted had turned gold and around it waves of red flames spread.
This red flames was the harbinger for the next events.
The energy that Erizos had noticed before absorbing his divinity shot for the flames and began absorbing them. At first it was just few, then the number grew the more the sun released heat. By the time Dustroz turned white from the hotness of it's core and shot a beam up to the cocoon Velces was still forming from the energies around it had intensified.
Every star within the Atlas Halo had began absorbing energy from the sun's flames.
The next thing noticeable was the side effects of all the energy being taken .The energies were being released in more furious tandem and the stars were all glowing as hot as the sun, not white hot but too hot for each of their limits.
The energies kept ramming around and around which brought up yet another matter. The Atlas Halo.
Erizos hadn't named it just that for nothing. Atlas had been a titan in the legends of earth that literally held up the heavens. Here, his Atlas wasn't holding up any heavens. It was holding more than that.
Atlas was basically holding everything together. From the stars which it stopped from drifting to the energy that couldn't escape into the dark expanse outside it's region. Within it all the rules applied, from gravity to suction everything was applied by Atlas to the bodies within it.
Which led to the situation it was in now. The evolution Dustroz was going through was already affecting the Halo. The energies slamming on the edges of the boundary kept thrumming the force through the Halo and increasing the pressure on it.
Yet it was Dustroz itself that gave the finishing blow. At this point Velces was already floating beside the huge star trying to protect what he considered the first friend he ever had.
The whiteness within the Halo didn't let Erizos note the situation and his urgency to send the entire family away while shooting after Velces made him ignore the other notifications blaring in his eye.
By the time he was already protecting Velces and Dustroz it was too late to realize that the enemies weren't the main problem. In fact they were helping the blue sun.
The darkness that descended was astonishing to watch as Dustroz did the one thing no one not even Erizos could expect. It sucked in everything around him from the stars to the energies and even Atlas. Only Velces and Erizos floated by the now dim sphere that was once a burning star. Only one little part of it at the very center glowed like a bright spot.
And it was from there that everything absorbed and compressed spilled in one devastating explosion rippling through everything. Flames and light shot through the darkness lighting up the only two figures in the darkness and swallowing them up.
What came next was something that Erizos had expected before and also not expected. Though the process had put him through a panic it still turned out to be something good.
The light and flames dimmed as they vanished into the distance in all directions.
Erizos first looked to his new son Velces who was frozen his blue eyes wide open and his gaze locked on the spot where Dustroz had been. Erizos sighed out before looking at what was left of Dustroz only to shout.
"What the hell".
Dustroz was floating still exactly where it had been. The once blue sun was gone totally, replacing it was a white core that was half the size it's former form. But the changes wasn't just that.
Dustroz emitted a smoky like haze that flowed about it and stretched to the distance in all directions. There were numerous weaves and strands of this haze floating off like an intricate network of webs.
Erizos looked to the distance watching as the spidery webs all branched off some lonesome and some in groups till the separated connecting to...
"Wait. What are those?" Erizos was stunned and confused
There was a bright light to the distance and that was where a haze was connected to. Even more that he looked about he could see burning balls of gases floating about, some in clusters others single or duo. Everywhere he looked there was a burning gas otherwise known as a star.
Still confused he quickly looked at his notifications trying to understand what happened.

After staring at everything for a while he turned to look at the now half sized sun. Then to the surroundings and back.
"It did all this?" he asked still numb.
[Yes]
"Then who's the god here if it can already do all this?" Erizos wouldn't agree to it but at the very moment he was feeling insecure. Years on earth without amounting to nothing had made his self esteem lower than possible.
Yet here he had gotten the chance to be more, do more and yet again he was failing so badly. His own sun and son, how weird was that,had done more in a few minutes than he had done in thirty one days.
The lack of motivation hit him hard just kike it always did back when he failed at something on earth. He was silent as he stared at everything. But his inner voice spoke instantly obviously sensing the mentality change.

"You're trying to make me feel better. This is weird" Erizos murmured,.

[I Already Supplied It All With The Amount Of Divinity Needed To Hold It All In Place.]
"That doesn't even make sense.Ive been holding back due to the lack of divinity and you're saying you used my divinity to hold it all. What divinity?." Erizos hated being pitied more than feeling disappointed or being useless so he wasn't feeling good about being lied to.

Begrudgingly he brought up the stat information and gawked. All godly pride left him as his jaw dropped and his four eyes widened.
"That's... That's.. but.. how?"
