Perhaps it was the erosion of the Sun that gave the Mother Tree an opportunity to glimpse into a few past events, those that had occurred when Hyperion had been imprisoned here.
Helios immediately understood the meaning behind it, if the Sun was once corrupted, then the suppression of the current world would probably follow, even far more serious than that caused by Typhon; after all, the Sun is a part of the cosmos and should not be equated with the newly born demonic monsters.
