Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

Just as Kanas was struggling with the decision of whether to tell Zeus that he wanted to become the third generation of God-King and invite him to be his God-Queen, a strangely familiar divine power fluctuation appeared behind him.

"Pan..."

Sensing this divine power fluctuation, Kanas subconsciously turned his head. He had only uttered the first word of the name when his entire figure vanished, leaving Zeus, who was still confused about what had happened.

"Huh?!"

Zeus only belatedly called out a few seconds after Kanas's figure disappeared.

As the primordial god symbolizing thunder, Zeus was far more powerful than Kanas was at the moment.

The lightning hidden in the clouds is His eyes and ears. Under His control, the lightning begins to frantically search for Kanas's figure within the scope of the Chaos world.

but.....

"No?! Why isn't it there?!"

Along with Tartarus, Zeus searched every nook and cranny of the entire Chaos world, and finally came to a conclusion.

—Kanas has disappeared!

"That unfamiliar divine power fluctuation, and the aura that suddenly disappeared... Could it be that Kanas was summoned by those humans from another world?"

After a brief moment of panic, Zeus quickly calmed down and began to analyze the current situation.

Although He has not joined any faction at present, His own powerful strength is enough to allow Him to obtain intelligence in a timely manner.

Almost all the Titans knew about the fact that humans from another world were killing gods and seizing power.

The thought of Kanas's tragic fate after being killed and stripped of his power by humans from another world caused the lightning within Zeus to involuntarily begin to stir.

Although this was only his second meeting with Kanas, Zeus had almost already regarded Kanas as his own.

He would never allow his possessions to be harmed by those inferior humans!

Driven by rage, Zeus transformed into a bolt of lightning and hurtled toward Tartarus.

Since Kanas had been summoned there, He might as well go along to protect the other party.

"Remember to finish saying your request for me to become a goddess before you disappear... you idiot."

With a complaint, Zeus vanished, leaving only the burnt smell of the lightning and a faint, fresh breeze.

"Pandora? Why did you drag me here?"

Turning around, Kanas was greeted by that familiar white space.

Having been there once before, Kanas naturally wasn't as nervous as he had been the first time.

"Huh? You still remember me? Has the timeline convergence failed?"

But when Pandora saw that Kanas seemed very familiar with the place, and especially remembered her name, a look of shock appeared on her face.

However, He soon seemed to have thought of something, and a look of curiosity appeared on His face. He circled around Kanas, clicking his tongue as if observing some novel creature.

"The aura of the desert? You're a Greek god, what makes you have a desert deity?"

Pandora's fingers tapped around on Kanas's body, as if she could discover some new and interesting thing from him.

The acquisition of the [Desert] Godhood was no secret to Kanas, so he told him everything about how he defeated Set and took the other's Godhood for his own use.

"Gods' war? How boring."

"I can't believe that Seth lost to you. Well done! I've been fed up with his arrogant attitude for a long time."

Pandora's few words provided Kanas with a great deal of information.

First, in Pandora's timeline, Kanas there does not seem to have mastered the [Desert] deity.

Secondly, this world also has the Egyptian god Set in its complete and peak state.

Thirdly, Pandora and Set did not have a good relationship.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Seemingly having lost the desire to continue the conversation, Pandora turned around and stood opposite Kanas with a businesslike demeanor, explaining the current situation to Him.

"In the Huaxia region, one of my children organized a ritual to summon a disobedient god. That child was the strongest among my subordinates, but he had a very gentle personality."

"Before the ceremony, she privately pleaded with me, hoping to summon a gentle deity who would not bring disaster and destruction to the world."

"As a mother who loves her child, how could I not try to fulfill her child's wishes?"

At this point, Pandora's expression instantly changed from businesslike to one of heartbreaking sorrow.

"So, you found me? I don't believe it."

But Kanas wasn't stupid; Pandora's somewhat awkward acting was simply not enough to gain His approval.

Why did Pandora have to summon me all of a sudden, when I was confessing my love to Zeus and inviting him to become the queen of the gods for the future of the Chaos world?

Based on what Pandora said during their first meeting, Kanas strongly suspected that this was some kind of tactic by Pandora to prevent his relationship with Zeus from progressing further.

"Oh dear, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"How could a weak goddess like me possibly observe things in another world? And even if I could, how could a goddess like me possibly stare at you like a lovesick woman all the time?"

"Even if you don't believe me, you can't disbelieve the world consciousness of the Chaos world, can you?"

"Even if I left some kind of method on you, the world consciousness of the Chaos world would not sit idly by and let you bring those otherworldly methods into your body."

Pandora, as if she had prepared a draft in advance, directly silenced all of Kanas's questions.

And what the other party said actually makes a lot of sense!

Even if Pandora is stronger than Kanas is now, she is definitely not stronger than the world consciousness of Chaos, which is the consciousness incarnation of the Chaos God Chaos. Her strength is absolutely the strongest in the entire world!

"...Then can you send me back? I still need to fight for the throne of the third generation of God King."

"For this reason, I cannot do without Zeus's help."

After realizing he had no reason to refute Pandora, Kanas had no choice but to give up arguing with her and change the subject.

"No, that won't do. After I summoned you, Kanas, your status has become that of a disobedient god. Only with the help of my children can you return to mythology."

With a gentle smile, Pandora rejected Kanas's offer without hesitation, saying that she didn't want to say anything more. With a wave of her hand, Kanas, who was standing in the same spot, disappeared instantly.

At the same time, the originally pure white space instantly turned black, and the gentle smile on Pandora's face vanished instantly.

"Hmph... How could I not have done it on purpose?"

"That bastard Zeus has been riding high on my head for countless eons! Now... it's time for me to fight back!"

As she said these words, Pandora's expression turned vicious.

But after looking at the spot where Kanas had disappeared, a hint of worry appeared on his face.

"Wisdom... Should I take this opportunity to completely eradicate this divine essence from your body, Kanas?"

"But if you eliminate it now, is it really possible for you to become the King of Gods in the near future?"
