Chapter 36: Successful Deification of the Abyss 1
Hearing the question from the Night Goddess Nyx, Eros, the God of Love and Lust, narrowed his eyes slightly.
He smiled cheerfully: "This world needs love, affection, and fertility. Giving birth to new gods makes the world more complete. Birth is truly the most beautiful thing in the world."
"Eros, do you know the method?" asked the Night Goddess Nyx.
Eros said: "You're right. Her Highness Gaia, the Goddess of Earth, once asked me. I told her, and soon she gave birth to the God of the Sky, becoming the first deity to give birth to a new god, becoming the Earth Mother."
Nyx said: "Tell me the method. In exchange, I promise you a condition I can fulfill."
Eros, the God of Love and Lust, said: "No, I don't need any conditions. For Chaos, I praise love and sex, and fertility. Since you asked me, I will tell you everything."
After a pause, he said: "First... Let's talk about the two simplest methods: the divine spirit giving birth alone, like Her Majesty Gaia's three sons now.
"The second method is also simple for you, since you and His Majesty Tartarus, the God of the Abyss, are the first divine spirits in the world to unite through love and sex."
"The second method is the union of the male and female divine spirits, ultimately giving birth to a child of love and affection."
"Once you master these two, the other methods of childbirth are not difficult. I will slowly explain the specific methods..."
Eros, the God of Love and Lust, left, and Nyx, the Goddess of Night, fell into deep thought.
After much contemplation, she decided to seek out Tartarus, the God of the Abyss.
In the abyss.
Nyx, the Goddess of Night, told Tartarus about her conversation with Eros, the Body of Love and Lust.
Then she said, "Brother Tartarus, you once said that something would be born in the darkness. You didn't explain it completely then. Do you still remember it?"
Tartarus responded, "The memory that emerged out of nowhere is a bit blurry. I'm not sure if it's true, but I still have some."
If he and the Night Goddess, Nyx, hadn't fallen in love, hadn't made love, then he was certain of Night's future children.
But now Night hasn't united with darkness, but instead has merged with him, the Abyss itself.
Will Night's future still be those children?
Caught in the vortex of fate, Tartarus became a part of it, and he was no longer certain.
"Whether true or not, I want to know," said Night Goddess Nyx earnestly.
"Okay," Tartarus said, "Space and day will be born in the darkness."
"Space... like the sky?" Night Goddess Nyx frowned.
Tartarus said, "I don't know, but I have a feeling it will be different, because the gods we've given birth to so far, each with their own true form, are unique."
Nyx was troubled. When the ocean god, Pontus, was born, Tartarus had mentioned many future gods.
One of them was space, but she hadn't realized it was related to her at the time.
Space and sky—the names are so similar.
She added, "Brother Tartarus, I also want to give birth to a new god. After Gaia gave birth to the mountain god, the power of the gods on the Earth side has grown even stronger."
"If the Earth continues to give birth to gods, its power will grow stronger, and the scope of the night will shrink. If they attack the Abyss, we'll be very vulnerable."
Tartarus thought to himself, "Now I understand why the goddess of night gave birth to so many children in Greek mythology."
"Perhaps it's not just the world that's pushing her to give birth to new gods, but the sheer number of Earth-based gods that makes her feel threatened." Tartarus placed a gentle hand on Nyx's shoulder. "Don't worry, Nyx. Although I haven't tried, I'm 90% confident I can defeat any god in the Abyss."
"Currently, only the Earth Mother and the Sky God can pose a threat to me. No matter how many other gods there are, they pose no threat to me."
Nyx, the Goddess of Night, said, "Yes, I think we shouldn't act rashly. Giving birth to a new god can strengthen the power of our own gods, but it also has drawbacks."
"Earth Mother Gaia gave birth to Sky God Uranus alone. Her Her strength has clearly dropped significantly. A large portion of her divine power has been robbed by the sky.
"The sky she gave birth to covers the land and ocean. I feel that the sky may surpass the earth in the future. It may not necessarily be the earth's domain; it may be controlled and dominated by the sky."
"Eros said that the gods give birth to new gods, regardless of gender. Now, Brother Tartarus, you are far more powerful than me and are the leader of our group."
"If you and I combine to create a new god, the new god will surely rob you of some of our essence and divine power."
"The plunder is small, and our strength has not been affected." If we're affected, that's fine. If we plunder too much, our strength will decline, especially if the new gods surpass us.
"For example, if the space gods born in the future possess power approaching that of the Sky God, it could create unknown dangers for us."
"I sense that Uranus, the Sky God, is not someone Gaia can control. He has great ambitions."
"I need to think of another way. I want to give birth to a new god, but it can't affect us. Otherwise, it'll backfire."
Looking at the earnest Night Goddess Nyx, Tartarus smiled helplessly.
But he felt a warmth in his heart.
As long as there is night in the world, Nyx exists. Merging with the night, no god can harm her.
Tartarus sensed that she was worried about the Abyss.
...
A few days later, Tartarus left the Abyss and casually entered a cave high in the mountain through the ocean.
The Mountain God controls all the world's mountain ranges, including various magma volcanoes, which contain vast amounts of the element of fire.
To complete the godhood of the Fire God, Tartarus visited Uriya, the Mountain God, for a few pleasantries before departing.
Uria, the Mountain God, resembled a small giant, massive and sturdy, the strongest deity Tartarus had ever encountered.
He had thick eyebrows, large eyes, a rugged face, and curly khaki hair. His muscular upper body was bare, and he wore khaki shorts.
In appearance, this deity appeared somewhat simple and honest.
During their conversation, Uriya, the Mountain God, was neither cold nor overly enthusiastic, and spoke little.
In Greek mythology, Tartarus knew very little about Uriya, the Mountain God, and knew little about him.
This visit was simply to familiarize himself with him.
Afterwards, without further ado, Tartarus left the earth.
About a year and a half, Tartarus devoured all the waters of the ocean within the abyss.
The Abyss connected to the bottom of the ocean, and the Ocean God, Pontus, once again infused the Abyss with twice as much ocean water as before.
Five years later, Tartarus's Water God Godhead reached 100% completeness, becoming the Water God.
At that time, he created the Water God Body, which was at the early stages of medium divine power.
Ten years later, the Chaos God Body was fully formed, at the early stages of great divine power, equivalent to the strength of the Ocean God, Pontus.
However, Tartarus was confident that if he fought Pontus alone with the Chaos God Body, he would have a 99% chance of victory.
Because the Chaos God's divine power wielded all kinds of extremely destructive chaos, it was extremely damaging to divine beings.
Unless, like the Earth Mother Goddess and the Sky God, whose strength far surpassed Tartarus's Chaos God Body, the Chaos God Body had no fear of others of similar strength.
In the fiftieth year, the great egg shattered, and the Abyss's body was successfully deified.
