History
Yum Kaax is the god of corn and the god of agriculture. Naturally, she possesses the divine power that can make the land fertile and the corn harvest abundant. So as soon as she arrived at the Babylon Academy, Yum was welcomed by many gods and goddesses- Among these gods and goddesses was the owner of Edda Tavern, and Fenrir said. "With this guy around, the menu in the tavern will be a lot better in the future." There was also the owner of the Golden Apple Gardens, Idun: "I am very grateful for Yum... Because of her, the Golden Apple went from having only one season every ten years, to ten seasons every year." However, the most unexpected Yum Kaax fan is Nuwa. The moment she saw the little people around Yum, her eyes lit up: "Oh, what a cute little guy...Yum, how did you squeeze them out?" The gods and goddesses of the Babylonian Academy are all very nice to Yum. Everyone is always happy to get along with the cheerful Yum. However, there was a rumor circulating secretly in the school - that although Yum was only a corn god, she possessed extremely powerful divine power that few people could match even among the gods. Of course, this should've been just a false rumor. But, even if another divinity had asked Yum Kaax about it, she would only smile slightly and not respond.
As the god of corn, Yum Kaax loves corn very much. In order to make everyone fall in love with corn as much as she did, she held a corn feast in the Babylonian Academy. In the beginning, the gods only put up a facade, because they knew that they would've only eaten corn, some even ordered take-out. But after arriving there, the gods and goddesses were astonished. "Huh, it clearly says it's a corn feast, but there's caviar and beef and other things on the table, how come?" Brody asked in amazement. "Hmph, this is my handiwork - I have long since fully mastered everything about corn, so I can change the taste of corn through various seasonings. Although the raw material for these foods is corn, they are exactly the same as real caviar, and maybe even tastier!" After hearing Yum's confident statement, Brody immediately began to eat, and while Brody ate, she exclaimed "It's true!" Then the other gods joined in, and we all devoured and ate together. "From today on, I think everyone will love corn." Yum looked at everyone's performance and couldn't help but smile happily. However ......that very night, there were dozens of extra patients in Meiunar's clinic. The cause of that being: too much consumption of coarse grains, resulting in a bloated stomach and difficulty in digestion.
Yum had went to a small village, after seeing the local residents sad because of lack of food, she exerted her divine power, and let the place become a bountiful land, day by day they harvested. And in just one month, the warehouse was full of grain. Yum thought that this would give them a happy life, but there were unexpected consequences. She heard rumors of this territory, the nobles from the capital forcibly expropriated the land and drove the villagers out. Yum was so angry that she expelled that nobles and gave the villagers the assurance of force so that they could guard their homes. After everything was done, she felt that this would reach her ideal ending. However ...... did things really end happily? -Many years later, Yum revisited the area, only to find that the small village had disappeared. In its place, there were the ruins of a huge city. By browsing through the records left behind, Yum knew that the small villagers did not guard their home. Instead, they used Yum's divine power as a weapon from heaven and arrogantly called themselves "God's Chosen People", attacking and waging war, creating a huge slave empire that was in the end easily destroyed by outsiders. "Why is it that dreams are always so difficult to achieve?" Yum Kaax couldn't help but sigh.
Yum Kaax hates strife, war and murdering. Yet even in the Kingdom of the Gods, the same thing happened. At that time, as the god of corn, she only possessed a tiny amount of divine power and looked very weak among the rest of the gods, but she did not think about it in that way, and instead she was happy as long as she planted and ate corn every day. But there was civil strife among the gods - the war between Hunahpu, the god of creation, and Itzamna, the god of the sky, spread throughout the world, and they each fought on their own side, so much so that the great roads were worn out. Many gods perished in this war, ambitious men rose one by one, and gods chased after the supreme throne. Destruction and death, terror and darkness...... Endless war swept through the entire Kingdom of the Gods. Yum Kaax, only the weakest of the corn gods, was powerless to stop it, and was even caught up in the war. Powerful divine forces collided with each other, and Yum's dwelling was torn to pieces. She was bruised all over, on the edge of the calamity. And just when consciousness was at its faintest, Yum took hold of the corn - "I'm going to change all this." She murmured.
After recovering from her injuries, Yum hid in the most remote area of the Kingdom of the Gods and began her research. The contrast of power between the gods comes from their own sources of power. The power of war, the power of death, the power of creation, and the power of destruction. The other gods of the Kingdom of the Gods only used these powers based on their own instincts, but Yum, who was determined to think this through, after awakening, decided to study these powers to their cores. What is the nature of death? She looked at the diseased corn, used her divine powers, looked deeper and found fungi and bacteria. Then saw even tinier things, and began to understand death from the Planck scale - quantum vibrations, the extinction of information, the silence of existence ...... What is the nature of intelligence? She carefully studied the electrical signal response of corn, continuously increased its complexity, connected billions of cornstalk electrical signals into an incomparably large system, and successfully created corn people with intelligence. What is the nature of life? She kept tracing the previous generations of corn, further back, the foremost, until the macromolecule, until the singularity where the universe was born...... After completing all the research, Yum returned to the heart of the Kingdom of the Gods and suppressed all the other gods with her own power. She knows how to create death better than the god of death and how to create things better than the god of creation. By doing this, Yum Kaax became the most powerful god the Kingdom of the Gods had ever seen. And peace came back to the land.
