Sitting at the entrance of your cave with your legs dangling over the edge of the drop down the continental shelf, you look out to the open ocean and take account. Lamenting the apparent loss of your goddess is a difficult thing, but mother didn't birth you to be parasitically dependent on her!
In terms of physical capabilities, you are of course a huge hulking aquatic humanoid. Towering over humans, your imposing figure is supported by the strength of a leviathan! You can entirely pick up and carry a small ship (with crew and cargo) and could knock over even some of the larger ships you saw earlier. Anything too big or heavy for you to lift, you can smash through with your strength, able to punch and break even a boulder. All of this along with your immense endurance and toughness, and even an army of humans would have a hard time tiring you out let alone injuring or defeating you. You'll always do better in the water but even on land you can manage this much.
As for more than the physical, you are severely weaker without direct connection to your goddess, however even without her you are partly divine in nature. Thus you have some control over water and the sea. Roiling the waters you can cause stormy weather, and channeling the sea you can cause small tidal waves, blast a powerful torrent of water great distances, and rise the tide around you. All of this is sadly just a fraction of the power you used to have, enough to destroy Atlantis itself, but it's still obviously formidable and being your own divine power it cannot be stifled.
Lastly is your own accursed nature, because of the unholy anger and despair of your mother. This you've already encountered, when you interact with humans or certain sea creatures, your divinity causes strange effects on them. Like if you go and sink a ship with all hands lost, some of the crew are going to return as unnatural beings of various sorts. In the moment, like during an attack this isn't much benefit to you, but preparing in advance like sinking several small ships before attacking a big ship... you may be joined by a host of your accursed victims! Not even survivors can escape this either, as more than once has a lucky fool you've bitten but not killed managed to escape, only to succumb to your curse later on land.
So then, with these traits and powers at your disposal, you ponder how you might wreak vengeance upon the land dwellers. If you should manage to cause enough destruction, particularly destroy enough temples to other gods, you should be able to better understand the nature of the situation regarding your absent goddess. Or at the very least, cause enough fear in the humans, that in their despair they turn to appeasement or even worship of you and your goddess.
