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

“The most crucial thing right now is that Hydra. If we don’t seal off and protect the spiritual veins it’s occupied, more magical beasts will definitely appear on this island in the future, and then the safety of our people in the stronghold will not be guaranteed.” Jimiya sat on a tree stump nearby, picked up a large piece of meat from the fire, and stuffed it into her mouth. “Mmm—this Sphinx meat is so delicious!”

“Yes, that’s always been a hidden danger that we have to address.” Ou Shen stirred the fire, his expression serious.

Luslan was also gnawing on a piece of meat, as if he was thinking.

Suddenly, something occurred to him: "Oschen, how many brains does that guy have?"

"Huh? Nine? Haven't you seen them before?" Oshin looked at Luslan with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"No, I didn't mean head, I meant brain, brain, the brain that you slurp down and swallow." Luslan looked at Oshin as if he were an idiot.

"Oh, that one, that one." This time Oshin understood. "What do you want to do?"

“Generally speaking, as long as that thing is damaged, even by the slightest bit, it will cause the beast to stop moving instantly, which means—” Ruslan extended a finger covered in Sphinx oil.

Jimia also became serious: "Old Lu, you've discovered a blind spot."

“Indeed, so does that mean we need to target only the head instead of the whole body?” Ou Shen swallowed a mouthful of meat, his expression thoughtful.

“But those other eight heads are just as difficult to deal with,” Kiyaya sighed.

Doris sat not far away, listening to the conversation of several people, feeling a little worried.

“The main problem is that it’s hard to tell the difference,” Ou Shen said, tearing off another large piece of meat. “The head of that thing is not the same size. There are two heads of the same size, so it’s hard for us to tell which one is the one with a brain.”

“Then let’s do both.” Luslan stood up and wagged his finger. “It’s much simpler than chopping off nine heads one by one, isn’t it? We just need to focus on the two largest heads.”

"As for the remaining seven little heads... how about one person to attack first, and the other two to hold them off?" Oshin continued, picking up where Ruslan left off.

Doris and Cora exchanged a glance: Do you understand?

Cora: I don't understand, I don't understand.

"In that case, let's get to work!" Ou Shen finished the piece of meat in his hand in a few bites, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and grinned. "This is the final step of the plan, we can't stop here no matter what!"

“Let’s go! Let’s go exercise!” Ou Shen said loudly.

As if a switch had been flipped, Jimia and Luslan changed their demeanor and, like Ou Shen, finished their meat in a few bites, exuding a strong aura of menace.

"Oh—exercise!"

"Let's go quickly!"

Chapter 513 Siblings in the Tavern

While Ocean and his two companions were planning to deal with the last monster on Doris Island—the Hydra that had taken over the spiritual veins—Lemoni was also saying goodbye to Athena and preparing to leave Athena Island on his raft.

On the distant Atlantis...

Atlantis is, in a sense, a continent, yet it cannot be considered a continent.

It has a separate continental shelf, but it appears very small due to its overall size.

Most importantly, it is not a continent, but due to its terrain and separation from the sea, it resembles a huge archipelago rather than a continent.

A huge, strangely shaped object floats in the northern sky above Atlantis. If it weren't floating, some might mistake it for a mountain.

Divine Court Dodona, the dwelling place of the gods that stands there forever.

On the southern edge of Atlantis, there is a small town.

Calling it a small town is an understatement; it's more accurate to describe it as a tribe living in huts.

The people here built sturdy houses with stone and wood and lived in them.

With a more stable living environment and a larger population, people naturally became less primitive than in tribes.

There is no need for human rule here; God is the faith of everyone, and there are only administrators known as the "town mayor."

The people here no longer need to rely entirely on hunting for a living. They cultivate various grains and vegetables, and no longer need to risk entering the jungle to outwit and fight dangerous monsters.

However, hunting has been preserved as a tradition, a symbol of honor and glory.

After achieving a relatively stable and prosperous life, God bestowed new things upon people.

Dionysus gave people a delicious and intoxicating beverage, namely—wine.

People have developed many new forms of entertainment related to alcohol.

For example—a tavern.

The town is called Ozark, and there is a tavern in Ozark.

crunch--

The tavern door was opened.

"Sister Alma." A young, casual voice came in.

"Huh?" A woman who looked rather slender was standing behind the bar, wiping glasses with animal hide, and paused for a moment.

"I'm back!" A tall figure walked in and sat down on a stool in the tavern.

"Why are you back so early today, Aga?" Alma stepped out of the shadows after putting the glass back under the bar, looking at the man called Aga with a hint of helplessness.

Alma is about 1.8 meters tall, which is average among the women here. She has long brown hair and fair skin, and she stands out from the others with a delicate beauty.

"The sky suddenly turned cloudy, so I came back. There wasn't much in the woods today," Aga said, picking his nose.

Alma is fifteen years old, and Agabimello is nine years old. They are siblings who run this tavern together.

The two originally had both parents alive, until a tsunami swallowed everything. Alma, the older sister, inherited the tavern and never left again.

Agapimaro is very tall, now exceeding 2.2 meters in height, which is very tall even compared to adults.

During the day, Aga goes out to work in town and occasionally tries hunting in the jungle. At night, he stays in the tavern and helps look after Alma's business.

"It's going to rain again." Alma glanced out the window; the sky was dark and heavy, and it felt like the rain might fall at any moment.

Snapped!

Alma suddenly slapped her younger brother on the head: "Hurry up and go outside to bring in the rags and clothes I left hanging outside."

Aga trembled as he raised his head, which had been slapped down: "So could you please stop hitting me so hard all the time? I can feel it even if you hit me lightly."

"Oh dear, since he's your younger brother, as his older sister, you should take extra care of him. Just consider this pain as proof of the bond between you and your brother." Alma smiled very gently and turned to walk back.

Aga sighed wearily, rolled his eyes, and walked towards the door, secretly glancing back at the door.

Alma was sorting the goods, moving the barrels that sold out last night to the back.

Well, if it's my older sister, then I'll fight her.

"But this ugly woman with super strength is really strong..." Aga rubbed the spot where Elma had just slapped him, pouting and muttering to himself.

A red light flashed in Alma's eyes as she moved the wooden barrels.

Awakening, time to hunt.

......

Luslan had three short swords at his waist and a long spear in his hand.

Considering the frequent occurrence of weapons getting stuck in the bodies of monsters and not being able to be removed in time, Ruslan decided to bring several extra weapons to this hunt.

The three people squatted on the high ground, looking down.

The ley line node where the Sphinx resides is located on a barren rocky mountain. Currently, Liliana and the others are logging nearby to seal off the entire area around the ley line and prevent it from continuing to transform wild beasts into magical creatures.

The ley lines where the Hydra resides are located in the thickets near the coast.

“There,” Ocean pointed.

Hydra's enormous, crimson body was quite conspicuous in the forest; although it was far away, it could be easily spotted if one looked closely.

“This thing is a water snake. We’ll wait until it reaches the sea and touches the water before we make our move. Remember, our target is those two big heads.” Ruslan’s expression remained serious at this moment.

He gently stroked the sea bow, licked his lips, and narrowed his eyes.

Although the Hydra is a magical beast with many heads, it is essentially a water snake and cannot stay out of water for too long. The failure of the operation that day was because the people were too reckless and tried to deal with the Hydra using the same methods they used on the Sphinx, which naturally resulted in a defeat.

The group crouched there for a long time, until it was almost noon, before Hydra's enormous body, which was over forty meters long, finally made a move and slowly crawled towards the sea.

“It’s moving! Let’s follow it quickly.” Ou Shen’s eyes lit up.

The three of them followed Hydra stealthily.

Once they were at a suitable distance, Ou Shen nodded to the two of them and closed his eyes.

Divine power—unleash its full potential!

Oshin stretched out his hands toward the distant ocean.

“We’re still quite far from the sea, and my control is insufficient. At most, I can give you a chance to get closer!” Ou Shen’s eyes gleamed with a bright blue light, and his arms trembled slightly.

"Understood!" Jimia and Luslan nodded in unison.

"Then—let's go all out!"

hum-

The sea surface trembled.

Hydra sensed danger, stopped, and cautiously looked around.

"Hey!!!"

Boom boom boom—!!!

Ou Shen's divine power surged rapidly: "Get up—!!!"

wow-

The once calm sea is now a raging torrent.

The earthquake triggered a tsunami.

The tsunami was so large that it blocked out the sun.
