NIKOLAI wasn't as vain as Neoma, but he still needed to maintain his dignity as the emperor.
[I can't let that puny god look down on me.]
Hence, when he heard that Helstor was coming, he had to let go of Calypso. The Holy Sword remained floating in the sky anyway while absorbing the blobs of Darkness.

And then Nikolai cleaned the blood off of him with the use of the Azure Dragon's water ability.
"It's been a while, Your Imperial Majesty."
Nikolai scoffed while looking up at Helstor who had finally arrived.
For some reason, the older Neoma had to greet that puny god earlier.
[Helstor doesn't deserve even the basic courtesy from my daughter.]
"I've always had a feeling that someone as powerful as the gods has been helping your side behind the scenes," Helstor said in an amused voice. "Who would have thought that you have summoned people from the Dead World?"
