Separation of divine authority?
Ocean God Pontos didn't quite understand, but he felt that this was not a good situation.
"Uncle Tartarus, can you tell me what the division of divine power means?" Pontos, the God of the Ocean, asked.
Tartarus said: "You know. God is a certain kind of material or non-material that was born in the world of Chaos. Material is like the earth and the abyss, and non-material is like darkness and night."
"Different gods have corresponding divine authority, which I call divine authority. For example, sister Gaia is the earth, and her divine authority is to control the earth. I am the abyss, and divine authority is to control the abyss."
"When our gods are born, we will receive some information memories given by Chaos. One of the rules I know is that the earth, abyss, darkness, night, and sky are all unique."
"That is, Chaos will not give birth to a second God of the Earth, nor will it give birth to a second God of the Abyss. But corresponding to you, are you the ocean itself?"
Tartarus' sudden question silenced Pontos.
"Me, isn't it?" Pontos pondered and said to himself in a daze.
He didn't realize this at first, but when Tartarus really mentioned it, he realized the problem.
Tartarus smiled: "Pontos, you know that you are the God of the Ocean, and we also know that you are. We can also sense that you do control the power of the ocean at the moment."
"But in terms of its body, is it the ocean itself?"
Pontos was speechless.
The current Chaos, 99% of the memories were given by Chaos when the god was born. After that, during his growth, he communicated with other gods.
Therefore, Pontos knows his own identity.
Tartarus continued: "We have an ontology. The ontology corresponds to the divine authority. The divine authority is unique. It is a very simple truth. But starting from you, some divine authority will no longer be unique and will branch out."
"For example, your body is not the ocean. To be precise, you are the pit that extends to the end of the world, holds the ocean, and surrounds the earth. You are the depression of the earth and the bottom of the sea."
"Because the ocean is in your body, you are the first to control the ocean and become the god of the ocean. Therefore, the ocean itself is not you, and it does not entirely belong to you. Naturally, gods may be born in the future to snatch the ocean from you."
After listening to what Tartarus said, the Ocean God Pontos fell into deep thought.
The words of the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia were still floating in his ears.
"I do control the ocean, but as Tartarus said, I only control the ocean, not the ocean itself."
I remembered just now that Tartarus told me about the time the God of the Sky took action before he was born.
The scenes before the birth became clearer and clearer.
Is it the divine right of the ocean specially given to me by the world?
Or, it’s just that the divine power of the ocean has been delegated to the world. Whoever captures it belongs to whom?
Is the divine power of the sea destined to belong to you by fate?
Is it really a misunderstanding? Is the sky god Ouranos really trying to protect himself?
If there was no battle between Tartarus, the God of the Hell Abyss, and Ouranos, the God of the Sky.
Perhaps, the divine power of the ocean will not fall into the pits of the earth, but may float in the sky.
At that time, I will be born, but it will only be a hollow in the earth, not the god of the ocean.
Because he controls the ocean, Pontos is even more sure of how powerful the ocean is and how huge its growth potential is.
"Who wouldn't want to get such a powerful ocean power? But the only ones who dare to compete with the Mother Goddess are the God of the Sky and the God of the Abyss."
The honest eyes of the Ocean God Pontos suddenly turned cold, and he had already determined the truth of that day in his heart.
"The Mother Goddess said that Tartarus has been helping the earth, as well as darkness and night. This uncle treats other gods with kindness, but it is Uranus, the god of the sky."
"Ever since I was born, the sky seems to have grown countless eyes. They have been staring at the ocean, but they have never entered the ocean."
"Although we are brothers, he really wants to seize my maritime power! Now he is my biggest threat!"
Pontos now feels in danger.
Thinking of the sky god Ouranos who was far more powerful than him, Pontos looked at Tartarus and said sincerely: "My dear uncle, I really need to thank you very much."
"You helped me before I was born. With your help, I safely obtained the power of the ocean."
"If I lose my divine power over the ocean, I will not be the god of the ocean, but just the bottom of the ocean. I may not even be able to be deified."
"The Mother Goddess gave me the life of my body, and you gave me the life of divine power."
"Now that you have generously spoken about the future of the ocean, your contribution to me is even more than that of the Mother Goddess. In order to repay you, I am willing to give everything I can to thank you for your kindness."
"It's just that in the future, the divine power of the ocean will be divided, and I, who is even weaker, will not be able to help you."
Speaking of this, Pontos looked sad.
He continued: "I don't ask you to tell me how to deal with the division of divine power. You have already helped me a lot."
"Now, I just want to do my best to repay you while I still fully control the divine power of the sea. Please let me do something that will help you, so that I can feel at ease."
Tartarus' expression remained unchanged, but his inner evaluation of the first-generation Poseidon had improved a lot.
"I understand why after the God of the Sky, Gaia had many stories with the first-generation Sea God, and many gods' sons were born."
"This god is very eloquent and understanding. This is what I want. This saves me from making up too many excuses. This is better."
In a few words, the God of the Sea, Pontos, showed that he knew the evil deeds of the God of the Sky, and that he was on the side of the abyss, but he also exchanged sacrifices for rewards, and retreated for advancement.
This time in coming to the ocean, Tartarus' goal has been achieved.
He smiled and said: "Pontos, my nephew, I understand your desire to help me. Naturally, I cannot let you be bullied by the new god in the future."
"The division of the ocean's divine power has become a certain number, but how much it will be divided is not a certain number. So, what you have to do is."
"Let the new god who wants to divide and take away your maritime divine rights in the future do his best to divide and take away as little of your maritime divine rights as possible."
"What should I do?" Pontos asked eagerly.
"Speed up your growth and become stronger." Tartarus said: "There are many sources of chaos in the ocean and at the bottom of the ocean, which are destroying crazily and restricting your growth."
"First of all, I will swallow up all the origin of chaos in it and take away it. You will grow and become stronger faster."
"Secondly, you must try to analyze the elements of water, understand the laws of water, and perceive the origin of water, so that you can understand it more thoroughly. By then, you may also be able to seize more of the divine power of the ocean."
"Finally, to satisfy your determination to help me. I want to take away some ocean water, is that okay?"
