Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

Establish a pantheon!

This is considered a major promotion among the Titans!

If we consider the world of Chaos as a company, then the major primordial gods are the founding shareholders, holding the largest share, possessing the strongest power, and holding the highest status.

However, these original shareholders generally didn't manage things much, delegating most of the company's operations to others.

The God-King is the CEO, whose role is to govern the Chaos world to greater prosperity.

As the world's prosperity increases, the God-King's position becomes more secure, and he receives even greater benefits.

Below the God-King is the "management team," composed of a group of high-ranking Titan gods.

These management teams divide their spheres of authority according to their own divine status.

For example, Kanas's grandfather, Astraeus, the god of the stars, was a member of the "management."

As the god of the stars, Astraeus's domain is the starry sky itself.

Within the realm of the stars, all sentient beings and insentient objects must obey the commands and control of Astraeus.

In other words, within the realm of the stars, Astraeus's authority was even greater than that of the god-king Cronus himself.

However, this is also the norm in the Chaos world.

After all, in one's own symbolic identity, one's own authority is undoubtedly the most powerful.

Below the management level are the "elite employees"—the original god class, which is the class that Kanas was in after becoming a god.

This level is not the lowest level of the divine society. Below the level of the Origin God, there is a level called "Ordinary God".

The most typical characters at this level are the river gods of the Chaos world.

As the offspring of Oceanus, the god of the ocean, and Tethys, the mother of all waters, their pantheon has always been known for its vast number of gods.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the river gods are not very powerful and that the restrictions on their divine status are too great, it's really hard to say who would be in charge of the Titan pantheon today.

However, despite being the most numerous of these deities, they hold the lowest social status.

In ancient Greek mythology, some powerful demigods and heroes dared to attack them, and the success rate was not low.

The most famous of these is the feat performed by the strongest demigod, Hercules.

In order to win the hand of Princess Deianella of Calydon, he defeated the river god Acheruos, who had transformed into a bull, while he was a demigod.

Not only was it defeated, but even its horns were broken off, becoming the Horn of Abundance, a symbol of endless resources.

However, apart from this particular incident, most of the other river gods are just background figures, appearing as "victims" at times.

But this also shows that apart from a few key figures, the rest of the River God faction are not very good.

Back to the point.

Kanas, who was allowed by the God-King to establish a pantheon, also successfully rose from "elite employee" to "management".

And the department He was in charge of was undoubtedly the [Wind].

From this day forward, all wind will be regarded as the embodiment of Kanas.

The gentle breeze symbolizes the tender side of Kanas, bringing a moment of peace and tranquility to mortals and gods alike.

The hurricane symbolizes the anger of Kanas.

The tornado is His long whip for venting His anger.

Even if a new wind god appears later, it will only be seen as an extension of Kanas's will.

This is the will of the God-King, and even the great primordial gods cannot interfere.

"Thank you for your generosity, mighty Titan King, ruler of the gods, guardian of Chaos, great master of time, Cronus."

Upon hearing the news of his promotion, a smile appeared on Canas's face.

Even though he is already a god, perhaps because he has awakened his memories of his past life, his personal emotions seem to be quite rich compared to other gods.

Gaia, who is able to empathize with her mother's lack of expression, will also express her heartfelt gratitude and love to Cronus, who has protected the safety of the entire world.

It is precisely because of this pure personal emotion that He has come this far step by step.

The God-King reciprocated His gratitude and love by giving Him His own scythe and allowing Him to reclaim the Storm from Gaia in His own name.

Although it ultimately failed, the fact that He gave up a source that was enough to give birth to a [Storm] God so easily is itself a reward.

After all, as the king of the gods, Cronus could have easily ordered Kanas to reclaim the Origin from Gaia in his own name and then take it for himself.

But He did not.

Gaia is the same.

After feeling Kanas's pure and unconditional care and warmth, Gaia's attitude towards Kanas can be described as one of absolute maternal love.

If the Storm hadn't already begun to reproduce and had half of its ownership belonging to Tartarus, He probably wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have directly given that Storm's essence to Kanas.

Even if Kanas did not absorb this source of storm energy, the god born from that source had already been predetermined to be Kanas's god.

Originally, this action was Gaia's own decision. She used her status as a "mother" and her powerful "earth" divine power to forcibly restrain the storm and subjugate it to Kanas.

However, with Cronus's decree, the future God of Storms will undoubtedly become the property of Kanas, both legally and personally.

This is undoubtedly bad news that is quite difficult to accept for the yet-to-be-born God of Storms.

After all, He hadn't even had a chance to do anything yet, and suddenly he had a new boss. Who could handle that?

"Haha, this is something you earned through your own hard work. I was just doing you a favor."

"Even without my decree, you will surely become a powerful god who wields the power of wind in the future."

"After all, before you became a god, there was only one lonely [Storm] in the entire Chaos world, and that poor guy hasn't even been born yet, so he probably doesn't have much of a future."

Kronos shook his head, his mouth full of satisfaction and praise for Kanas.

If all the gods under His command were like Kanas, creating several new deities every year to enrich the world of Chaos, He would be willing to be the god-king for countless more millennia!

However, after praising him, Cronus's tone inexplicably became somewhat heavy.

"Alright, enough with the congratulations. As a high-ranking member of the Titan pantheon and the leader in charge of the [Wind] path in the Chaos world, I have some bad news to share with you."

"Did you know that at the very bottom of Tartarus...?"
