"Zeus, it is time for you to inherit the domain of climate and prepare for your imminent promotion!"
Tyche gently stroked the boy's curly hair. "The divine position of climate is my primary divine position for ascending to intermediate divinity. I hope you can inherit the power of climate and ascend safely."
With that, she placed a kiss on the boy's hair.
Taking over the divine positions of clouds and rain from his mother, Zeus frowned at the anomaly of the thunder divine position. The boy said with a solemn expression, "Mother, won't this weaken your power?"
The goddess smiled with relief and said gently, "Not at all. Climate is no longer my primary divine position. It is more suited to your lightning."
His mother's words eased the boy's expression, and he absorbed his mother's gift with the yearning of the thunder divine position.
Under Tyche's expectant gaze, the climate divine position reappeared and, under the guidance of the sky goddess, descended into Zeus's divine fire.
Zeus's aura immediately broke through the obstruction of lesser divinity and entered the ranks of intermediate divinity. The abundance of divine power caused the boy to grow taller again, his face no longer showing childishness but a resolute and steady demeanor.
Clouds flashing with lightning obscured the sun, celebrating the arrival of the second master of the climate domain. The commotion of the promotion attracted the attention of all the gods, who discussed the growth of the sky lineage and looked enviously at the mist-shrouded island.
The clouds that obscured the sky were dispersed by the storm stirred up at sea, and sunlight returned to the earth. Just as the creatures on earth rejoiced and celebrated this, the divine power of disaster descended upon the land.
The storm at sea churned the seawater, and Tyche's sisters curiously emerged from their underwater temples, marveling at the waterspouts.
The surging waves crashed against the shore. The Sea Goddess, stationed at the bottom of the sea, seemed oblivious, allowing Kannas to act. The waves grew larger and larger under the impetus of the storm, soon forming a tsunami. The overwhelming giant waves struck the land with deafening roars. The elves in the forest retreated uneasily into the trees, only to be shaken from their perches by the violent tremors of the earth, huddling together in fear.
Frost, drought, fire, storms – the power of disaster raged across the land until it was quelled by the awakened Gaia.
The complete divine position of disaster finally revealed its terrifying might. The Laws scrutinized this newly born divine position, judging its impact on the world.
Kannas declared loudly to the Laws, "I am the eldest son of fate, the God of Uncertain Disaster! O bewildered beings, be ever vigilant for my arrival before death descends!"
The silent Laws accepted the declaration of the God of Disaster. Uncertain disaster forced the creatures on earth to evolve towards greater strength. Those survivors who passed the test would be more powerful than their deceased kin! The Laws recognized the value of the God of Disaster's existence and bestowed upon him the divine position of accident. The surging, inauspicious fate caused Tyche to glance sideways, and all the gods of fate sensed the addition of a new god representing the unpredictable and accidental.
The gods, who had been whispering about Zeus's promotion, fell silent. The moment the God of Disaster ascended to powerful divinity, they all averted their gaze. The primal force congratulated Kannas on his promotion, and the endless source of origin sublimated the divine position of disaster and Kannas's divine fire.
Tyche, smiling, led her subordinate gods to welcome the return of the God of Heavenly Disaster. The promotions of Kannas and the goddesses of vengeance brought unexpected benefits to the goddess. The emergence of the divine position of accident stimulated the domain of misfortune, and the long-stagnant divine position of misfortune was thus grasped by Tyche. The divine position of purgatory also split off the power of retribution, both of which Tyche quietly sent to Styx. The goddesses of vengeance would assist Styx in managing the underworld and purgatory, and naturally, Styx could not be without the powers and divine positions related to the underworld.
The promotion of the third powerful divinity was quite a stimulus to all the gods. Kannas had surpassed most of the second-generation Titans shortly after his birth, how could this not make them ashamed?
Several powerful divinities from the lineage of radiance and the lineage of the ocean all converged on the Formless Island. Oceanus, the God of the Ocean, and Hyperion, the God of Light, who had not appeared for a long time, also arrived shortly after. The two elders, meeting for the first time, brought generous gifts to the newly promoted God of Heavenly Disaster.
In stark contrast to the liveliness of the Formless Island was the silence on the divine mountain. The King and Queen of the Gods, who had long been detached from worldly affairs, had still not appeared. The Goddess of Justice and the God of Souls exchanged glances, feeling a great headache.
Crius, the God of Growth, suggested, "Why don't my wife Eurynome inquire about the opinion of the Sky Goddess? Tyche and the Sun God have both held banquets to celebrate their promotion to powerful divinity. I believe the God of Disaster will not disregard his mother's opinion."
The Goddess of Memory, who lacked much of her own opinion, seconded her elder brother's proposal. After deliberation, the four chief gods decided to have the wives of the two male chief gods inquire about Tyche's opinion. They thought that in their shared status as daughters of Oceanus, they should not be made to feel difficult.
On the Formless Island, Tyche, who was receiving congratulations, left the crowd with the arrival of the Goddess of Fame and the Goddess of the Power of the Sea, leaving Kannas to deal with the endless stream of guests accompanied by Helios and Zeus.
The two goddesses first congratulated their sister. Eurynome carefully conveyed her husband's greetings, "The chief gods on the divine mountain hope you will not feel offended by the King and Queen of the Gods' neglect. The King and Queen of the Gods have not left their temple for a long time."
Tyche, who knew the inside story, inwardly disagreed but still showed a hint of displeasure. "I am not unhappy. Kannas's promotion to powerful divinity is an undisputed joyous occasion, isn't it? Why should we let these trivial matters spoil our mood?"
The two goddesses were then relieved. In their view, their sister's displeasure was understandable. The Sun God's banquet had been marred by an interlude involving the King and Queen of the Gods, leading to an unhappy conclusion. Now, they had not even shown up for Kannas, which was hard not to make the parties involved feel they were being slighted.
Clymene, the gentle one, comforted them, "The chief gods will warmly welcome Kannas's arrival. The birth of a powerful divinity is a solemn and important matter that cannot be ignored."
Indeed, the crucial point was that the parents of this powerful divinity were also powerful divinities, and the parents of these parents were powerful divinities who held the position of chief gods. Seven powerful divinities! The combined power of their gathering made the gods fearful. If a conflict were to break out, it might even overturn the divine mountain.
The four chief gods permanently stationed on the divine mountain naturally had to handle this carefully, even condescending to inquire about Tyche's opinion, precisely to alleviate the awkward situation caused by the King and Queen of the Gods' absence. If the new powerful divinity used this as an excuse to refuse to attend the banquet on the divine mountain, it would undoubtedly damage the authority of the chief gods and cause the arrogant gods to look down upon the King of the Gods' authority!
