Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

"So, my chances of succeeding in finding Mother Earth this time are very high?"

"Canas asked."

After all that talk, Astraeus has only come to the conclusion that "the power of the storm has diminished in value."

As for the impact of too many gods on the world, Kanas felt that this should be a matter for the God-King to consider, not for a god like himself who had just been promoted to a minor divine power.

"Oh my child, your chances of success this time are almost zero. The Earth Mother would never give you the power of the storm for nothing, especially since... you are carrying that thing with you."

"And even if you don't bring that thing with you, Mother Earth wouldn't give it to you for free. She has kept that authority, so it definitely has its use."

Astraeus pointed to the scythe in Kanas's hand with his right hand and shrugged.

Clearly, He had no hope for Kanas's trip.

"My suggestion is to wait until you advance to the level of intermediate divine power before you go to the Earth Mother to trade for the Storm Authority. By then, your strength will not be too weak."

"Most importantly, the value of Storm will be lower back then than it is now."

Astraeus's solution was simple: since the Earth Mother Gaia valued [Storm] so much, why not let her keep it to complete her plan? As the number of wind deities increased, the value of [Storm] would decrease.

"To be honest, don't be fooled by the fact that [Breeze] isn't strong in actual combat; in terms of potential, it's no less than [Storm]."

"I don't recommend you get involved in this mess when you're still weak. Even I don't want to get involved in the battle between the God King and the Earth Mother."

"But the God-King's command cannot be refused..."

At this point, Astraeus touched the hair at his temple, one of the subconscious actions He took when thinking.

"Alright then, I will personally accompany you to the Temple of the Earth. If there's anything you need, I will do my best to help you resolve it."

After hesitating for a while, Astraeus decided to help Canas.

In His bloodline, Kanas is undoubtedly one of the best among the fourth generation of Titans.

Not only did it become a primordial god through its own abilities, but its development prospects are also very broad.

The category of "Wind" is undoubtedly one of the top natural authorities in the entire Chaos world.

Most importantly, in the entire Chaos world, only Kanas can truly be called the "God of Wind".

The four wind gods under His command are actually a branch of the wind gods—the [wind elements].

The deity of wind direction is actually a subordinate deity of the wind god by nature.

After all, if there is no wind, how can we know the wind direction?

Euros was so excited to see his son become a god that he didn't think about this matter.

I guess she's calmed down now and is probably struggling with the fact that she's become her son's "subordinate."

"Thank you, Grandfather. I was actually quite worried that the Earth Mother's wrath would be directed at me, after all, everyone knows... that Her relationship with the God King has never seemed to be very good."

Kanas thanked Astraeus and then glanced at the scythe in his hand.

"Ha... The Earth Mother doesn't get along with anyone. She seems to be full of hostility towards all the gods of the Titan pantheon."

"The first god-king fell into a deep slumber due to Her conspiracy. Ever since Cronus imprisoned the Hundred-Handed Giants and Cyclopes in Tartarus, this Earth Mother, who gave birth to all things, seems to have also extended the tentacles of conspiracy into the god-king's palace."

"Cronus...he shouldn't have been so foolish."

At this point, Astraeus's expression became very complex.

As the eldest of the third generation of Titans, He remembered very clearly how brave and resourceful Cronus was back then.

After all, when Cronus became the king of the gods, it was the popular choice, and almost no one objected.

After the "Scythe Usurpation" incident, Cronus stood at the top of the Chaos world in terms of both strength and prestige.

Now, corrupted by Uranus's prophecy, the power of the god-king, and the Earth Mother's conspiracy, the once wise and mighty god-king seems to have become a different person.

"Kanas, you must remember that nothing in this world is absolutely eternal."

"Even the supreme god-king, the primordial god who created the world, is like this."

After saying this, Astraeus gradually lost the desire to continue.

There are some things that Kanas, this "young" Titan, shouldn't know.

"Alright, let's head to the Earth Temple immediately. Keep your words and actions to a minimum. With the Earth Mother's power, she probably knows everything without you even having to say anything."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Given that Astraeus was in a hurry this time, he did not let Kanas turn into a breeze to wrap around him as before, but instead turned into a shooting star and carried Kanas straight to the earth.

In Kanas's memory, the location of the Earth Temple should be in Delphi, the site of the most famous early temple of Gaia, which was regarded as the "center of the world" and the place where Gaia's oracles were first issued.

But the place Astraeus brought him to later was probably not Delphi.

Because Delphi was a temple, a building.

The place Astraeus brought Him to was just an empty lot with no buildings, and it looked quite ordinary.

If I had to say something, this area looks more peaceful and serene.

But does Gaia, the Earth Mother, possess authority similar to tranquility?

"We've arrived. This is the Temple of the Earth."

Astraeus's meteor avatar stopped and returned to its Titan form before Kanas could react.

"However, it's quite clear that Mother Earth doesn't seem to welcome our arrival."

Astraeus looked at the still peaceful and serene land and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He made no attempt to conceal his presence during his visit, not even the aura of the obsidian scythe.

Given Gaia's power, she probably already knew the purpose of her visit the moment she left Mount Otyrus.

Now that the other party seems unaware of this, it's easy to discern most of their thoughts.

As for being asleep?

Astraeus smiled helplessly.

As the Earth Mother Gaia, she can sense whenever any deity recites her name or plots against her.

On Mount Otyrus, Astraeus made no attempt to conceal his true intentions, and even spoke ill of Gaia.

Astraeus certainly wouldn't believe that the other party hadn't sensed it.

Therefore, Gaia, the Earth Mother, simply did not want to see them, or rather, rejected their arrival.

In that case, Astraeus had no choice but to act like a rogue and take the initiative to "knock on the door."

"Earth Mother who nurtures all things, noble primordial goddess Gaia, we, representing the God-King, have come here. Please awaken and discuss important matters."
