Not Truly Immortal.

What they had faced in battle and what he narrowly missed was not a man. It was inevitable death and destruction. It brought with it peaceful oblivion and reminded them that they were not truly immortal. If even he, the Godking felt fear, then what about the others.

Still, something had to be done about the origin god. It was out of his expectations that the first combatant they will face is someone of that level. 

Usually, after the announcement to eliminate the path of Godhood is made by the racial council of a plane, the forces that will fight are at the transcendent level. Only when complications arise will stronger forces be sent to suppress the gods. But this time around, the racial council didn't announce anything but decided to catch them off guard with superior firepower. 

"It seems the racial council wants to get rid of us quickly and at all cost." He lamented.
