Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

The three candidates will travel to Mount Otyrus in the first millennium to attend the Pantheon and ascend to the throne of the gods in the presence of the gods.

Throughout this millennium, all Kanas had to do was prepare as best he could.

Regardless of how they refine and develop their own divine nature, thereby giving birth to new subordinate divine natures, they can create more subordinate gods for themselves, and gain more confidence and benefits in the upcoming Pantheon.

That's right, the method for selecting the third generation of God-King in the Pantheon is by voting!

Cao, do gods really have a voting system for human rulers?

What am I dreaming about?!

The number of votes received varies depending on the individual's strength.

As the lowest level of the gods in the Chaos world, those with weak divine power and low divine power are mostly subordinate gods of various primordial gods, and they can only have the right to one vote.

Those primordial gods, on the other hand, are entitled to two votes.

Subordinate gods with moderate divine power have two votes, while the original gods have five votes.

Above that, higher-level and greater-level divine powers no longer have subordinate deities; they are all primordial gods.

Therefore, their votes were relatively unified.

Higher-level gods have ten votes, while great-level gods have twenty votes.

As for the primordial gods... they have no votes, but they possess a veto and a pass.

In this selection of the God-King, they will not vote, because all three candidates have received their support, and their votes cancel each other out, which is equivalent to not voting.

In other words, whoever has a larger pantheon, more subordinate deities, more powerful subordinates, and more supporters will have an absolute advantage in the vote.

This is the fairest rule.

Because you can gain the support of the vast majority of gods through your own abilities, you can naturally make the world a better place.

But this is also the cruelest reality.

The gods of the old era lived for countless ages, accumulating a wealth of knowledge over millennia, with their factions, descendants, and supporters deeply entrenched.

Without additional help and their own inherent strength, the new generation of gods are destined to fail from the very beginning.

Over the course of a thousand years, Kanas successfully developed several new primordial divine attributes from his [Weather] divine attribute, namely [Rainstorm], [Clear Sky], and [Thundercloud].

The latter was created by Zeus after he awoke in the third century, together with Him.

To increase Kanas's chances of seizing the throne of the third-generation god-king, Zeus directly relinquished her ownership of half of the [Thundercloud] godhood and gave it to Kanas to enhance his foundation.

The "Clear Sky" is a primordial divine essence created by the Earth Mother Gaia commanding the Sun God Helios to send a wisp of "Sun" divinity.

This divine essence governs clear skies and peace in the world.

It symbolizes a peaceful, stable, and smooth meteorological order.

Shedding the restlessness of wind and rain, and the violence of thunder, it is a gentle deity that nourishes all things and soothes chaos.

To put it simply, it's the kind of divinity that Kanas likes best.

Relying on this divine essence, Kanas successfully derived two subordinate divine essences.

【Clear light】and 【flowing clouds】.

Kanas bestowed these two divine essences upon two wind spirits; such peaceful divine essences were well-suited for wind spirits!

Therefore, Kanas named them Wendy and Cecilia, and they became two minor deities under his command, belonging to the realm of weather.

By the time these tasks were completed, a thousand years had quietly passed.

For thousands of years, Kanas has never considered seeking allies from outside.

Gaia had already made it very clear to Him that Oceanus had almost won over the vast majority of the Titan gods as allies.

Even if Kanas goes, he won't have anything to offer that will impress the other party.

So going there would be a waste of time; it would be better to use this thousand years to help myself get more votes.

The two are divine beings, so they now have two votes.

……

Mount Otrolus, the highest mountain in the Chaos world.

This is the first time Mount Oteris has become so lively since Cronus's expedition to another world.

All the gods gathered, and divine light filled the sky.

After the two primordial gods, Gaia and Pontus, made the decision, the selection ceremony for the third generation of god-kings officially began!

The entire sacred mountain was shrouded in swirling clouds and intertwined with divine radiance. Gods from various pantheons took their places and began to exchange hushed conversations.

The gods of the earth, night, and weather systems followed Kanas and took their seats.

The Earth pantheon obeyed Gaia's orders and supported Kanas, while Nyx, the ruler of the Night pantheon, turned a deaf ear to what was going on and handed over all their votes to her "best friend" Gaia to handle.

Therefore, these two pantheons are staunch supporters of Kanas.

As long as Gaia remains the goddess of motherly love, they will steadfastly support Kanas until Kanas conquers them through his personal charm and abilities.

The original ocean pantheon remained neutral, or rather, Pontos didn't expect them to cast a rational vote, so he simply canceled their voting rights, leaving only a couple of gods as representatives to retain the right to vote.

Nereus, the friend of the sea, and Taumas, the wonder of the sea.

The former is gentle and kind, unlike her other children who are quick to anger and always cause trouble for her.

The latter was the wisest of His children.

Although not as powerful as Kanas, he is definitely considered a "strategist" in the original ocean pantheon.

Opposite to Kanas sat Oceanus, the god of the great river currents.

He had the typical appearance of the first Titan, tall and strong, with a cat-like beard, half-naked, and wearing a light blue toga.

A powerful, divine aura swept across the surroundings, his eyes revealing an unchanging arrogance and certainty.

Before attending this conference, He was already certain that He would become the third generation of God-King of the Chaos world.

For no reason other than because He got the most votes!

On the other side is Themis, the goddess of justice.

He was not as high-profile as Oceanus.

As a goddess, her figure is more proportionate, and with her eyes covered, she radiates a holy light.

He embodies the concepts of fairness and justice, and is responsible for maintaining order and upholding the balance of heaven and earth.

Therefore, His supporters are mostly weaker gods and some gods with kind personalities.

Although the number of candidates seems large, Themis has the lowest chance of winning based solely on the number of votes.

It's alright though.

Votes are only one part of the selection process for the third-generation God King.
