In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Ou Shen lay on his back on the sea.

He had already lost consciousness.

Ou Shen's divine power was severely depleted, and his physical strength was almost gone. His current situation was worse than ever before.

If that demonic whale hadn't fled, but instead angrily turned back to check the situation, Ou Shen... might have already perished in its jaws.

"It felt so good to have a fight..."

After saying this, Ou Shen fainted.

Ah, it's just a pity we didn't actually kill that whale... Such a big whale... It must have been enough to feed the whole tribe for a long time...

......

Ruslan dragged Ocean back from the sea.

That area of ​​the sea is covered in the blood of the demon whale; the stench of blood probably won't dissipate for ten days or half a month.

Even though it was so badly injured, and its blood was enough to pollute a sea, the giant demonic whale was still alive and able to escape.

A hint of fear flickered in Ruslan's eyes.

What a... terrifying monster.

......

The demon whale hid in an underwater cave, its massive body trembling incessantly.

That demigod, that arrow—

Fear—an uncontrollable fear.

For the first time in its long history, the Demon Whale felt as if it had almost been killed by something.

The arrows, the divine power, the vortex—they tore at its skin, penetrated its internal organs, and churned its life force.

Something quietly approached the trembling demon whale.

"...Are you afraid?" The man's voice was authoritative, and his eyes shone with a light similar to Ou Shen's, but even more dazzling.

Poseidon, the god of the sea.

His true form, the mechanical god, was even larger than the demonic whale, and it rested outside the cave. The simulated humanoid sub-entity stood in front of the demonic whale, admiring the wounded beast.

The demon whale noticed the man who had appeared in front of it at some unknown time, and retreated in fear, but crashed into the cave wall with a loud bang.

“Don’t be afraid, child.” Poseidon smiled and placed his large hand on the whale’s forehead. “Calm down.”

His hands emanated divine power.

The fluctuations were gentler and more vast than Oshen's half-baked divine power fluctuations, soothing the demon whale's emotions.

Although the demon whale possessed intelligence, its intellect was extremely low, and it calmed down after being soothed by Poseidon.

Poseidon smiled and said with a sigh, "What a powerful beast. In my knowledge, in this sea, perhaps only the very first Siren and the very first Scylla, those sea monsters born of Ceto or Echidna, could easily defeat you."

Roar......

The demon whale roared in a low voice, its cry filled with exhaustion and grievance.

Poseidon watched almost the entire battle between Ocean and the Demon Whale.

Or rather, he hadn't noticed it at first, until Oshin controlled several currents, at which point he began monitoring the battlefield through observation equipment.

During this battle, Poseidon felt gratified by his son's growth, but he also paid attention to the powerful demon whale.

In fact, when this demonic whale entered the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean, Poseidon, who controlled the entire Atlantic, had already noticed this monster.

However, the ocean was teeming with monsters, and Poseidon at the time did not notice that this stowaway possessed such terrifying power.

But what does this level of strength amount to in the face of a true god?

“I will give you a name, and the right to swim beside my true form, mighty whale,” Poseidon murmured. “Your name is—Barsamizo.”

Having been given a name, Bashamizo bowed his head before his god.

Poseidon said nothing more, put his hands behind his back, left the cave, and vanished in a puff of foam.

A glint of inspiration flashed in Bashamizzo's eyes, as if he were pondering something.

......

“Uh—” Oshin touched his short blue hair and sat up from the shelf.

When he joined the hunting team two years ago, he lived alone.

He stretched and suddenly froze.

"Wasn't I at sea?"

"Did Mom or Miya bring me back?"

Ou Shen scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled.

Looking to the side, Ou Shen noticed that the sea bow, which had been placed on the wall behind the patriarch's seat for many years, was leaning against his shelf.

Ou Shen picked up the sea bow and examined it quietly.

"This is the first time I've observed this bow so closely..." Ou Shen exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the sea bow.

It was as if the sea bow could become one with Oshin. Oshin could feel that some of his divine power had been restored and automatically wrapped around the sea bow, moving around its body.

“This was given to me by your father, Poseidon, the god of the sea,” a female voice said.

The curtain of the shed was pulled open, and Doris walked in, looking at Ocean.

“...Mother.” Oshin felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Doris’s stern gaze.

Leaning the bow aside, Ou Shen knelt skillfully before his mother.

Doris pulled over a stool, sat down in front of Ocean, looked at her son, and sighed: "Stand up, Ocean, you did nothing wrong this time."

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Mom." Ou Shen's attitude in admitting his mistake was quite good.

Doris patted Ocean's head: "You're all grown up now, Ocean. You want to do your part for the tribe, Mom knows, but in the sea..."

She stood up and slowly walked to Hai Gong's side: "The cruelty and terror of the sea are beyond our imagination."

"It is deeper than any river, larger than any lake, and darker than any starry sky."

"That is the most silent abyss in the world, a realm that humans can never set foot in."

"Its size is beyond our imagination."

"And I wouldn't be surprised if any monsters were born in this vast ocean."

“That Scylla is so powerful that only you can handle it.” She stroked the sea bow. “This time, even you struggled immensely against the Demon Whale, and couldn’t even kill it.”

"Is there... a monster even more powerful and terrifying than the Demon Whale?"

Oshin turned to look at Doris, unsure of what to say.

“Mom isn’t telling you to stop fighting the sea monsters, son, but…” Doris leaned down and looked into Ocean’s eyes, “before you fight, carefully assess the difference in strength between the two sides.”

"...Don't worry Mom, okay?" Her eyes were brimming with tears.

Ou Shen looked at his mother and pursed his lips.

"I understand, Mom."

Chapter 493 The Conversation Between Poseidon and Hermes

“Mom, that sea bow…” Oshin pointed to the sea bow in Doris’s hand.

"This is a divine artifact made by your cousin, Hephaestus, one of the twelve Olympian gods and the god of forging. Your father gave it to me when I was pregnant with you." Doris looked at the beautiful sea bow in her hand and sighed.

"In the past, only I could draw this bow, but I know in my heart that my son..."

She placed the sea bow in Oshin's hands.

“This bow was made for you… from the very beginning.” Doris looked gently at her robust son.

Oshin, holding the sea bow, looked up and stared blankly at Doris.

"From now on, this will be your weapon."

Ou Shen stood up excitedly: "Really, Mom? You're going to give me this thing?"

Doris smiled helplessly: "Don't be so crazy. You're such a grown man. Even on land, you're stronger than your Uncle Lilia. Don't be so impulsive."

"Mmm! Mmm!" Oshin gripped the blue sea bow, which resembled crystal coral, unable to suppress his excitement.

He ran out: "Ruslan! Jimia! Come see my new baby!"

Doris also walked out of the shed, watched Ocean run away, and sighed deeply.

“Is this a good idea, Doris?” Cora stood outside the shed, looking at Ocean’s back with some worry. “That thing, that power, will gradually push him away from you and bring him closer to his father’s side.”

“He won’t,” Doris said firmly. “Oshin… will never become someone like Poseidon.”

......

The true form of Poseidon rests atop the temple.

He sat on his divine throne.

“Oshin’s use of divine power is already very skillful. His long-term training has allowed his divine power to grow rapidly.” Poseidon’s neural units processed the images of Oshin and Bashamizzo’s battle, analyzing the details.

There was another guest in Poseidon's temple.

Hermes, the God of Commerce

"So this is how divine power is used through the physical body... I've never heard of such a thing before, it's almost completely different from using a machine." Hermes looked at the image with some amazement.

“It’s more accurate to say that this is a way of using magic power than a way of using divine power, just with magic power replaced by divine power,” Poseidon said seriously. “Of course, this also has to do with the container itself; an ordinary body cannot bear divine power.”

“Ultimately, it all comes down to the source.” Hermes glanced at Poseidon. “This demigod’s source, because of you, has changed from converting magic to converting divine power. If it weren’t for your blood flowing through his veins, a mortal body couldn’t have done this.”

"Any news about the new experiment from the great god?" Poseidon asked Hermes.

"No." Hermes shook his head with some regret. "No matter what species we experimented with, no new demigods could be born. After a re-evaluation, we concluded that it was a technical reason, not a probability reason."

Poseidon did not speak, but simply looked at Ocean's image.
