Chapter 38 Oceanus, God of the Oceanic Rivers
At this moment, the ocean waters surrounding the earth erupted into countless massive waves.
Above the ocean, the waves surged, surging to the heavens.
Countless waves crashed against the surface, erupting with a world-shaking roar.
Countless beams of light-blue essence and divine power flew from the earth into the ocean.
Countless beams of brilliant essence and divine power simultaneously descended from the sky, landing in the ocean.
Moreover, beyond the sky, the essence and divine power bestowed by the world of Chaos pierced through the sky and also fell into the ocean.
"Is this the child born from the union of earth and sky?" Nyx, the goddess of night, asked with some surprise.
She had always feared that the child born from the union of night and the abyss would rob them of their essence and divine power.
And now it seemed that it would indeed be robbed, but Nyx wanted to determine how much, so that she could make informed decisions about her future plans.
At this moment, Eros, the god of love and lust, appeared beside Tartarus and Nyx.
He looked upward and muttered to himself, "This is the first child born from the union of the gods of sky and earth. I sense love and fertility. From now on, the world of Chaos will undergo a profound transformation."
He looked at Tartarus and said, "The future of Chaos will become even more beautiful because of you. There will be all kinds of love and sex, endless fertility, and endless desire."
"I feel the call of the world!"
As he spoke, Eros revealed an expression of enjoyment, and Tartarus's body naturally floated and began to fade. 1
"Eros is returning to his true form." Erebus, the god of darkness, appeared and muttered to himself, "I sense changes in the true forms of all the gods. The world of Chaos is undergoing significant changes."
Tartarus looked at Eros: "Is deification not good enough? Why are you returning to your true form?"
Eros maintained his cheerful smile: "This is for the best. My deified self is too weak to bear the growing love and lust in the future, let alone the growing emotions." 1
"Love, sex, anger, jealousy, ambition, greed, and so much more—too many emotions for me, even as a deified being, to bear."
"I hear Chaos calling me. Only my most primal self can bear the endless love and sex, fertility, and emotions of the future."
"I'm fortunate to have met you, Your Highnesses. You've allowed me to witness the love and sex of the abyss and night, the love and sex of sky and earth, and the fertility of heaven and earth."
As he finished speaking, the form of Eros, the god of love and lust, disintegrated into tiny specks of stars and vanished completely.
Tartarus's powerful divine sense could sense that this world no longer had a deified god of love and lust.
However, the world of Chaos was filled with even more love and lust than before.
Gods are not human, but in the world of Chaos, most gods are deified at birth.
Possessing a substantial body, such as the Abyss, Tartarus, even without deification, possesses divine consciousness, can communicate, and can even control the Abyss and fight other gods.
Lust and desire, however, are not physical entities, but rather concepts.
Tartarus's mind still holds various images of love and sex. Eros, representing love and sex, is naturally not dead, but has simply returned to a mysterious and profound state.
"A magical state," Tartarus muttered to himself.
This time, the amount of primordial energy and divine power that descended from the sky was far greater than during the previous births of Pontus, the god of the sea, and Urya, the god of the mountains.
Although Tartarus and the gods Darkness and Night did not travel to the earth,
There is darkness and night above the earth, and the divine consciousness of these two gods naturally senses changes in the ocean and the earth.
Thanks to his immense strength, Tartarus's divine consciousness pierced through the darkness and night, entering the ocean, directly sensing the primordial energy and divine power infused from outer space.
The primordial energy and divine power injected into the world this time was many times greater than the combined total of the oceans and mountains when they were created, and the influx was even ongoing.
To be precise, the primordial energy and divine power bestowed upon the world by the celestial beings wasn't just for the ocean, but for the entire world.
The world was growing!
All the gods who had already been born, including Tartarus, felt their true forms growing stronger.
Boom!
The land was growing, the sky was growing, and the abyss was growing.
Naturally, more mountains appeared on the expanding land.
As the world grew, so too did the extent of darkness and night.
Most dramatically, the ocean was expanding the fastest!
Initially, the ocean encompassed about half the Earth's surface, rapidly expanding to become equal to it, and it continued to grow.
In a short time, the entire Chaos world more than doubled in size.
The earth, the abyss, and the sky all expanded by about twice as much. The ocean now exceeded the earth, even reaching twice its size.
The vast ocean, boundless and boundless.
"Almost all of the divine power bestowed by Chaos was used to increase my true self. My divine power hasn't increased much, but my true self has grown, raising my upper limit," Tartarus thought.
At this moment, an immense vortex appeared in the center of the ocean.
The vortex spun rapidly, and the essence of the earth, sky, and the outer space-endowed ocean all converged at its center.
A divine figure began to rapidly take shape.
"I am Oceanus, god of the ocean rivers! I am the true self of the ocean. From now on, the ocean is under my control!" Before the divine figure had fully formed, a deep, male voice echoed throughout the world.
As soon as Oceanus finished speaking, a sphere flew out from the body of Pontus, god of the ocean.
"My Ocean Divine Authority!" Panic flashed in Pontus's eyes.
Tartarus had told him that the Ocean Divine Authority might be divided, but he hadn't expected it to leave him first!
The ocean had grown so much, surpassing the earth. If he could control such a vast ocean, he would no longer fear the sky.
But now the Ocean Divine Authority was gone.
In the abyssal lands, the Night Goddess, Nyx, frowned and said, "I suddenly can't sense the presence of Ocean God Pontus. No! He's still there, but he seems to have suddenly lost something. It feels strange."
"The power hasn't changed," said Erebus, the God of Darkness. "What's going on?"
He couldn't help but look at Tartarus.
Tartarus said, "The Ocean Divine Authority has been stripped away by the world, and a new Sea God has been born."
"Where is the Ocean Divine Authority? Can we seize it?" Night Goddess, Nyx, asked.
Now, the ocean is larger than the land itself, which means that controlling this vast ocean would greatly increase one's power.
Nyx's heart was moved.
At the same time, Erebus, the god of darkness, was also moved.
He frowned and asked, "Can't we sense the existence of the Ocean Divine Authority? Is it because the ocean blocks our perception?"
Unlike the other two gods, Tartarus's divine sense sensed that the Ocean Divine Authority had formed into a sphere.
The Ocean Divine Authority had left Pontus's body and was floating towards the rapidly forming new god Oceanus.
Hearing their conversation, Tartarus understood.
"Perhaps it's because I possess the Water Element Godhead, controlling the element of water, that I can see the Ocean Divine Authority, while other gods outside the ocean can't. Does that mean I can also seize the Ocean Divine Authority?"
