Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

Epimetheus.

This name may not be familiar to most people.

But His brother, I'm sure many people have heard of him.

The prophet who stole fire for humanity—Prometheus.

Kanas had met this god once before, when he was honing his combat skills in Tartarus.

At that time, Prometheus was stationed in Tartarus as the son of Iapetus, one of the twelve Titans, and the second generation of Titans.

Epimetheus was among them.

However, compared to Prometheus, who symbolizes the "prophet," Epimetheus's status as the "afterthought" seems rather meaningless.

To be honest, this divine status is not very useful; it merely symbolizes a series of negative connotations such as being slow to realize things and being dull-witted.

"This... doesn't seem to be of much use to me."

"I already possess [wisdom], so the divine title of [the knower after the event] should conflict with my attributes."

Upon seeing the [Afterthought] divine spark that Luo Hao presented, Kanas's first reaction was to refuse it.

In fact, He was somewhat curious. Although the title of "The One Who Knows After All" was rather useless, it was indeed a primordial deity.

How did Epimetheus manage to separate his original divine essence?

That's His true form!

The idea of ​​separating your true self... sounds rather strange.

"Hehe, please don't worry."

Luo Hao seemed to have guessed what Kanas was thinking and quickly spoke up to explain.

"Giving you this gift wasn't just my idea; it was a decision my father and mother reached together after discussing it."

"With the help of a powerful god-king, Father and Mother have transformed their true forms into the Ring of Usurpation itself. Perhaps you don't understand this thing. I can only tell you that the Ring of Usurpation is the only supreme divine artifact that can strip a god of their divine status once certain conditions are met."

As the strongest and oldest god-killer in the world, Luo Hao seems to know a great deal.

He even knew some information about the Ring of Usurpation, which was of utmost concern to Kanas and could strip gods of their divine authority.

After speaking, Luo Hao didn't care whether Canas accepted it or not, and handed over the box in his hand. Then he took several steps back, as if afraid that Canas would refuse.

"Well... okay."

Looking at the box in his hand, Kanas ultimately did not refuse.

It's a divine essence, after all. Even if Kanas himself can't use it, it's still good to take it back and add a subordinate god to his collection.

However, He was very curious: if He took this Godhead of the Afterthought back with him, wouldn't there be two gods symbolizing the "Afterthought" in the Chaos world?

Or will it cause a spacetime paradox?

Will the divine essence of the "Know-It-After" from the future timeline dissipate immediately upon entering the Chaos world of Kanas's own timeline?

Kanas didn't know, but He really wanted to try.

"Very well, I'm glad you agree, Your Excellency Kanas."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Hao raised his hand and gently swept the golden divine essence that had been separated from Alice's body into his sleeve.

This divine essence is of low quality; it is merely a collection of scattered fragments from King Arthur.

If it weren't for the nourishment of that "revival" power back then, it would have long since vanished completely into the world.

Even after undergoing transformation, its foundation remains weak, not even enough to forge a demigod, and ordinary god-killers and lower-level gods simply don't even look at it.

However, Luo Hao's actions in accepting it were extremely solemn, clearly indicating that he had his own plans and uses for this seemingly useless wisp of divinity.

Having done all this, she turned around, her cool gaze falling on Kanas, her tone steady and composed:

"Now, please come with me."

"Hmm? Is there something else?"

Kanas followed Luo Hao with some curiosity. He wanted to stay in this world for several hundred or even a thousand more years until he had analyzed and recorded most of the rules of this world, so that he could return to the Chaos world and begin his extraordinary divine life.

Luo Hao moved with light steps, his blue robe brushing against the bluestone of the corridor, and slowly explained the reason:

"I have just received my mother's decree."

"After you have fully accepted the divine status of the [Afterthought], I will personally escort you back into mythology."

"I'm sorry, I have to break the contract, Lord Kanas."

The air froze instantly upon hearing this.

"Fighting inside the temple would inevitably damage the buildings and could easily injure innocent people, so I would like to take Lord Kanas to the depths of the forest for a battle."

But Luo Hao seemed oblivious, continuing to lead the way on his own.

Kanas stood silently in place, watching the receding figure in blue robes, his heart churning with complex emotions.

He could tell that the other party was also very angry and helpless about his breach of contract.

Therefore, He does not intend to blame the other party.

His main concern was why he had to return to mythology after accepting the title of "Afterthought."

It was Pandora's order again....

Luo Hao had previously invited Him to stay here for a while longer, and Pandora must have agreed to that.

"Wait... could it be...?"

Thanks to his divine wisdom, Kanas quickly came up with an extremely outlandish but highly probable possibility.

".....never mind."

Kanas murmured to himself, his gaze slowly returning to calm from its initial surprise.

"Am I, a dignified god, required the permission of humans to remain here? What blasphemy!"

Although Kanas was gentle in nature, he also possessed the pride and sharpness of a god.

Moreover, He is more arrogant than ordinary gods.

He simply never knew it.

However, provoked by Luo Hao, Canas's deep-seated arrogance was unleashed.

Since the other party wanted to decide whether to stay or leave based on force and strength, then He accepted the battle.

Even if His raw strength is indeed weaker than the opponent's.

But His pride as a god prevented Him from taking any cowardly actions such as begging for mercy or avoiding battle.

Canas suppressed all distracting thoughts and surging emotions, and slowly followed Luo Hao ahead.

His steps remained composed, yet without the slightest hint of slackening. With each step, a subtle elegance, the quiet lurking of yellow sand, and the undercurrents of life stirred.

He is ready for battle.

Even if his guess was correct and the other party's action was for his own good, Kanas still wanted them to know.

The pride of the gods must not be trampled upon!

"Human, I won't hold back. You'd better watch out."
