"This is really troublesome."
Although he was the one who did it, Ryan was still a little scared.
Iapetus was fine; the other party had no idea that he originally had the Divinity of Soul, but Mnemosyne was different.
The Divinity of Memory had already been born, but it failed to be crowned upon her, instead scattering throughout the world, waiting for him, the source of Spirituality, to absorb it.
If she were to discover Ryan's identity in the future, she probably wouldn't let him off easily.
But having said that, Ryan didn't regret it.
He was kidding; the Spirituality Authority was already so weak. If it were to be divided by more than half, he was afraid he would become a joke among the Gods, the first existence unable to maintain his Godly status.
As for becoming a subordinate God, that was even more impossible.
Once a dog leash is put on, it's hard to take it off. Ryan hadn't enjoyed his Godly life yet and didn't plan to experience a dog's life in advance.
"But although I've provoked a potential enemy, it's not all bad."
Sensing the Memory Authority that had been born but scattered throughout the world, Ryan smiled slightly.
The Memory Authority wasn't strong, but it was enough to take his Spirituality Authority a step further.
After all, the strength of a Divinity determines the upper limit of Divine Power. No matter how much the God of the Spring improves his Divine Power, he will never be able to become an Intermediate Divine Power by relying on [Spring].
At this time, either he had to acquire more and stronger Divinities, or he had to 'expand' the original Divinity.
Using [Spirituality] to absorb the lower Divinity of [Memory] was a way to expand. It would increase the depth and breadth of the original Divinity, making the related concepts stronger.
Of course, this kind of absorption couldn't be successful casually; one must be able to accommodate the other.
Spirituality was very suitable in this regard, as it could be connected to many Divinities.
Shaking his head, Ryan stopped thinking about it.
Although the Memory Divinity currently had no owner, he still needed a long time to absorb it.
After all, to the world, the origin of Spirituality was uncontrollable. Once [Memory] was absorbed by [Spirituality], it meant that Khaos had also lost control of [Memory].
So even if the world had no will, it would still instinctively stop him, causing the time he needed to increase tenfold.
"Buzz—"
Another buzzing sound. Ryan seemed to have pondered for a long time, but in reality, only a short while had passed.
After the birth of the two Gods, the gestation of new Gods continued.
Giving birth to so many powerful Gods in one day was only possible at the beginning of the creation of this world.
Following the vibration of the Law Chains, the two Gods who were born one after another declared their existence to the world.
One aura was fair and rigorous, like an eternally unchanging law; the other symbolized the irreversible passage of Time, seemingly close at hand but untouchable.
Themis, the Goddess of Justice and Law! Rhea, the God of the Passage of Time! The weak [Chronology] Authority jumped slightly with the birth of the two Gods, but ultimately there was no reaction.
Authority was only the prototype of a Divinity, not yet qualified to be divided.
Sighing slightly, Ryan felt the rhythm of the Law Chains gradually subside, as if the Gods born this time were all of them.
But he knew that the truly crucial part had not yet appeared.
Complete Time and Space would not have a master; the world would not allow it. But there was an existence that would obtain a portion of each, destined to become a God to rule the world.
He was the youngest son of Uranus, and would also become the Firstborn in the future. Under his rule, the First Humans would be born on Earth. When they passed away, the second generation of Humans would also be born because of him.
If one didn't consider his oppression of his own children, Cronus was actually a qualified ruler. He neither treated his wife as the Sky Father treated the Earth Mother, nor did he recklessly display his authority in the mortal world.
It was just that his divine affinity wasn't great. Zeus's brothers fought alongside him, but Cronus's went against him.
"Clang—!"
The Law Chains were silent for a moment, then rang out even more intensely.
The Space-Time of the entire world began to become unstable, yet it seemed to be constructing a new structure.
Perhaps it was a moment, perhaps a long time had passed. Under the chaotic fluctuations of Space-Time, Ryan could not judge how much time had actually passed.
But at a certain moment, Space-Time suddenly found Rules suitable for them again, and all Change came to an abrupt halt.
Cronus, King of Space-Time! The name of the new God resounded throughout the world, spreading to every corner of Khaos under the effect of the Space-Time strings. This long-lasting God Birth finally came to an end.
The Sky became higher, the sea became deeper, and the world became more complete.
The Earth, which had originally seemed endless, also expanded dramatically. Soon, Ryan could no longer estimate the size of the land.
The newly born twelve Gods were not the source of Change; they were merely a catalyst. The Power accumulated by the world was released because of them.
But all of this was irrelevant to Ryan at the moment. At this moment, all of his energy was focused on sorting out the Power within his body.
Divine Power Level: 4.
Divinity: [Prophecy].
After a long while, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards. When he sensed the Divinity he had anticipated, Ryan still felt immense joy after all.
But it was only a momentary emotional Change. Immediately, the God in white restrained his emotions and turned to look outside the Mountain Cave where he resided.
In his perception, there was nothing there, but Ryan knew that the God Birth had ended, and that noble Earth Mother would naturally come to him.
So, as if he had expected it, he spoke, "Respected Earth Mother, what do you think of this result?"
In a daze, a young woman in a green dress appeared out of thin air before him.
The aura on the woman's body was vast and profound, but a trace of uncontrollable emptiness still made her face somewhat pale.
The Earth Mother at this time was not the old woman of later generations. Her body was youthful and full of vitality, and her origin was still abundant.
The act of giving birth to twelve Gods in succession had greatly depleted her vitality, but she was still a Primordial Ancient God half a level higher than a Great Divine Power.
"Ryan, Your Highness, I was the one who offended you before."
"Regarding our bet, I am willing to admit defeat."
As she said this, the still-young Earth Mother smiled apologetically. The Storm in the Sky moved away from here as a result, and all things became joyful.
"I must say, your accurate Prophecy makes me ashamed of my previous doubts. Even the King of the Gods is amazed by your Power to glimpse Fate."
"It's fine," Ryan smiled and accepted the Ancient God's apology, and appropriately expressed his doubts: "Then, noble Earth Mother, having just given birth to a God Child, what brings you here?"
Facing Ryan's calm gaze, Gaia finally spoke the words he had long awaited:
"I am here to invite you to Mount Othrys for the God King's banquet."
With a gentle smile, Gaia solemnly invited:
"Ryan, Your Highness, on this day, this special day, my firstborn, my husband, my king, the ruler of the Sky, Uranus, hopes that you can come to the Divine Mountain to meet him and celebrate this important day together."
"If you are willing to come, that would be the best gift we could receive."
Appearing somewhat moved, Ryan chuckled inwardly. After just one prophecy, the Earth Mother was treating him with such courtesy.
'It's just for a new prophecy,' Ryan thought.
But in any case, faced with the invitation of a Primordial God, Ryan naturally bowed and accepted.
His face showed excitement for the God King's invitation, and his heart felt the same. Only he himself knew how many years he had waited for this day.
"You are too kind, Gaia, Your Highness," Ryan said with a smile.
"To witness the birth of the first King of the Gods of Khaos, I am deeply honored."
