Alex fell into thought upon hearing what Ray was saying.
"Wait, so you're saying I'm using the Sun God's power, but indirectly?" he asked. "As in, instead of taking it all in, I'm letting it go to the Heaven first, and then taking what it can't handle?"
"Maybe," the bird said. "I'm not too sure myself. It could be that you take something that is there long before it reaches the Heaven. Or it could be something that has nothing to do with the Heaven entirely. I simply know that the Heaven does accumulate some of the energy that made the Gods who they were."
Alex narrowed his eyes. The Sun God did say something like that, didn't he?
He remembered the Sun God's words and recalled when he talked about how they chose the next vessel of the Sun God. They let someone be born with the body of the Sun God, and in the meanwhile, they accumulated energy to pass along to a new body should the existing one die.
