Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

"A hurricane? It looks more powerful than a storm."

Gaia looked surprised.

He found himself unable to understand his youngest son.

If Kanas, who previously created the "Gentle Breeze," was a gentle and obedient child, then Kanas, who now creates the "Hurricane," is a mobile natural disaster specializing in destruction and annihilation.

With His vision and power, He understood the essence of this natural phenomenon the moment the hurricane itself gained recognition from the Chaos world.

Give the wind enough speed to condense it into a thick wind wall that sweeps and tears everything apart.

Even with Kanas's original meager divine power, he was able to create a hurricane around the entire karst island.

Having created a new godhood and whose power has been greatly enhanced, is Kanas capable of unleashing a hurricane that sweeps across the entire land?

It should be noted that at this time, Kanas was only a weak god.

Indeed, the moment Kanas created the [Hurricane] and gained the recognition of the Chaos world, a new godhood was born within Kanas's body.

[Hurricane] Godhood.

With the help of this new divine power, Kanas's strength jumped directly from a weak divine power to a low-level divine power.

It's important to know that the power of gods increases very slowly.

The world of Chaos has a considerable number of gods, the vast majority of whom possess only weak or low-level divine power.

Those with intermediate or higher divine power are already the backbone of the Titan pantheon.

Like Oros, the father god of Kanas and the god of the east wind, how much time and effort did it take him to go from having weak divine power at birth to having moderate divine power today?

It should be noted that among the Titans of the same generation who were around the same age as Him, apart from a few outstanding individuals who also reached the level of intermediate divine power, the vast majority were at the level of weak divine power.

These people were the third generation of gods in the Titan pantheon, who had lived for countless millennia in the world of Chaos.

Kanas, who was only a few decades old, had already caught up with the mainstream strength of the third-generation Titans.

This is truly... astonishing.

In particular, Kanas is quite different from other fourth-generation Titans.

Kanas received almost no help from anyone. The only thing that could be considered "help" was that he became a demigod by being infused with a little bit of divine power from Euros.

As for his path to godhood, Kanas truly relied on his own efforts, taking each step steadily to reach where he is today.

In Gaia's long history, no demigod or Daemon Nymph has ever dared to forcibly open their path to godhood at the cost of burning everything.

Even if they did, they all failed.

But Kanas was different; He did it!

This is why Astraeus valued the other party so much.

What is the difference between a being who becomes a god by his own power and a being who is born a god?

Kanas has already shown Gaia this answer.

"No, Mother Goddess, this is only the beginning; I am not finished yet."

Upon hearing Gaia's praise, Kanas couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Throughout history, very few deities have received such praise from Gaia.

Gaia's performance is enough to prove that Kanas is on the right track.

Driven by this sense of joy, Kanas decided to take it a step further and expand his original blueprint by a small portion.

"Huh? It's not over yet?"

Gaia's initial astonishment returned, and as He looked at Kanas's retreating figure, the look of surprise in His eyes intensified.

Under Gaia's watchful eye, Kanas continued to use his divine power to keep the hurricane running.

Under His control, the raging pillar of storm, carrying endless seawater, began to rise into the air.

Water and wind blend together, combining strength and gentleness, and in the space between the sky and the sea outside the karst island, they suddenly coalesce into a colossal waterspout that stands tall and majestic.

Not only that, He also condensed two more hurricanes.

One of the clumps was thrown by Kanas onto distant land, forming a massive continental tornado engulfing trees, sand, and vegetation.

The last one flew into the air, carrying clouds and atmosphere, becoming the largest white tornado among the three tornadoes.

"A hurricane enters the sea, becoming a waterspout, which engulfs the ocean and destroys everything."

"When the hurricane comes ashore, it becomes a land tornado, plundering everything and destroying civilization."

"A hurricane rises into the sky, a celestial dragon, sweeping up clouds and rain, obliterating life."

Under the influence of Kanas's divine words, the three tornadoes began to move freely.

A waterspout carrying a large amount of seawater raged in the calm ocean, sweeping up large amounts of seabed mud, rocks, aquatic animals, and even sea monsters living below the surface.

Under the powerful force of the waterspout, which was filled with the divine power of Kanas, they collided with mud, sand, stones and other debris, and almost instantly turned into a lump of flesh and mud, adding a dark touch to the waterspout itself.

Fortunately, Kanas was self-aware enough not to let the waterspout head into the deep sea, but only to let it linger near the karst islands.

After all, the deep sea is where the gods of the ocean pantheon reside.

Lu Longjuan merely glided along the edge of the earth, carrying with it large amounts of sand, rocks, trees, and even a small amount of building debris.

The land tornado is the smallest of the three tornadoes, but if used properly, it is also the fastest at reaping lives.

After all, land is where life is most abundant.

Plants, spirits, and humans.

The Heavenly Dragon Tornado, meanwhile, floated slowly in the air, absorbing all the surrounding clouds and transforming into a pure white tornado.

However, beneath the Heavenly Dragon Tornado's pristine white exterior lies an extremely terrifying killing intent.

At high altitudes, the airflow density of the tornado is higher and its rotation speed is faster, making it appear extremely inconspicuous under the cover of white clouds.

However, if an ordinary deity were to try to go inside and explore, they would probably be instantly crushed into mincemeat by the dense airflow and atmospheric pressure inside.

The moment the three tornadoes took shape, the gaze of the Chaos world descended once more, bestowing upon Kanas five divine entities: two large and three small.

Among them, the three smaller ones are the three divine entities: [Heavenly Dragon Spun], [Sea Dragon Spun], and [Land Dragon Spun].

One of the larger ones is the [tornado].

From the perspective of the Chaos world, the "hurricane" created by Kanas and the "tornado" that can move freely afterward are actually two different things.

Hurricanes are much larger and can easily cover an island or even sweep across an entire landmass.

Tornadoes, on the other hand, focus more on aggression and power. They are smaller and more agile, and are war machines specifically designed for killing and destruction.

Among them, [Tornado] is of a higher level than the three minor deities, but it is below [Hurricane] and [Gentle Breeze].

The three minor divine cores seem to be subordinate divine cores of [Hurricane]. The four are interdependent and integrated into one, and their size appears to be no smaller than that of [Hurricane] and [Gentle Breeze].

This indicates that Kanas's development of [Hurricane] and [Gentle Breeze] is very superficial, far less advanced than its development of [Tornado].

The appearance of these three minor deities is a good thing for Kanas.

With the [Tornado] deity within him, these three minor deities are not of much use to him.

If one day Kanas wants to recruit gods, these three divine attributes would be very suitable to lend to them.

Setting aside the four divine entities, Kanas focused his attention on the last, larger one.

Strangely, this divine title was not the "tsunami" that Kanas had anticipated, but a divine office that He had never thought of before.
