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

“It’s magic,” Ou Shen replied. “When I brought Jimia back, something happened to him, and magic appeared on his own… Now it seems that this magic in Jimia’s body is fighting against the poison, preventing Jimia from dying quickly.”

Everyone was thinking.

Ou Shen gritted his teeth and stood up.

“I’m going to beg my father.” With that, Oshin started to walk out of the shed.

No one spoke; they just stared at Ou Shen's retreating figure.

Doris's eyes held a complex expression.

She didn't want Oshin to pray to that god.

But she will make Ocean pray.

Ou Shen walked out of the shed and ran wildly towards the sea.

Forget about dignity and anger.

Kimia is now rebelling, rebelling in order to survive.

As the one who started this, if sacrificing just this little thing could save Miya's life, then—

Ugh?

Ou Shen was stunned.

A short, thin man with handsome curly hair, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood on the beach, his back to Ocean, looking at the sea.

Ou Shen shook his head. Although he didn't recognize the man, he didn't care who he was. The most important thing now was to go to the sea and find his father to get the antidote!

“Oshenanos.” The man suddenly spoke, his voice clear and pleasant, with a smile, looking at the tall and burly Oshenanos.

When Ou Shen was called by name, he stopped for some reason and did not touch the seawater.

"...Who are you? What do you want?" He frowned as he looked at the man.

“You don’t need to know who I am. I’m here to help you.” The man narrowed his eyes, making it impossible for Ou Shen to discern his emotions.

"...Why don't I need to know who you are?" Oshin asked, his eyes filled with suspicion, and took a step back.

“Good sense of vigilance. In that case, call me cousin.” Hermes smiled and shook his head. “As for my real name, I’ll tell you later.”

Before Ocean could even grasp the meaning of the word "cousin," Hermes continued, "You're... in trouble now, aren't you?"

Ou Shen nodded subconsciously.

“You don’t need to abandon your dignity to beg your father,” Hermes sighed. “As the god who rules the seas, he can indeed cure ordinary Hydra poison, but isn’t it a bit ridiculous that the only demigod would abandon his dignity over a mere Hydra poison?”

“…What are you trying to say? He…is my last hope.” Ou Shen gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to talk to Poseidon, but he had to.

"Let's set sail." Hermes opened his eyes.

Ou Shen was stunned.

That was—light.

Like Poseidon, the only difference is the color, representing divine power—

The light of God.

“...Are you a god?” Ou Shen realized.

“I am a god.” Hermes did not deny it and nodded. “Go to Atlantis. Although Doris Island is not small, it is not enough for you to move around. In Atlantis, you can buy the antidote in the most ordinary shops.”

“Your companion can fight off this toxin for a long time, so there’s no need to worry.”

As Hermes spoke, his form began to blur.

He waved, closed his eyes, and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Oceanos."

Ou Shen stood there, swallowing hard.

He sighed.

"Cousin...?"

Chapter 517 Leaving Doris Island

Ou Shen remained silent.

That is God, without a doubt God.

And the term "cousin"...

He could only be the son of his eldest uncle [Hades, the god of the underworld] and his younger uncle [Zeus, the great god].

As for which of these two sons it was... Ou Shen didn't know, and didn't want to guess.

He looked at the ocean, his expression complex.

Should we go and pray to our father?

Or... should we trust our "cousin" and set sail for Atlantis?

Ou Shen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his eyes gleamed with bloodlust, and the veins on his arms looked like they were about to burst.

But then he abruptly released his fist and let out a long sigh.

He turned and walked towards the tribe.

He decided... to trust his "cousin".

Back in the tribe, Ocean went into the hut where Liliana and Ruslan lived and sat on the ground.

All eyes turned to Ou Shen.

“Poseidon… what did he say?” Doris asked, her voice trembling, as if she dared not look at her son.

“I did not go to see my father,” Oshin said solemnly, “but… I saw another god.”

He looked at the unconscious Miya lying on the ground, then looked up at the crowd.

“Mom, Uncle Liliana, Luslan, I…I want to take Jimia to sea,” Oshin said earnestly.

Doris opened her mouth, looked at Oshin, and was somewhat stunned.

"Go to sea? ...What do you mean?" Lilia didn't understand what Oshin was trying to say.

"Mom, can you... agree?" Ou Shen looked at his mother cautiously.

Doris looked at Ocean, and just looked at him.

She stood up and walked over to Ou Shen.

Ou Shen subconsciously lowered his head and closed his eyes.

Doris simply patted Ocean's head.

“Go.” Doris lowered her head, pressed her son’s forehead against her own, and said with a tear in her eye, “You must cure Jimia.”

Ou Shen couldn't speak, he just nodded.

"Ah."

Liliana rested her elbows on her knees, head bowed, deep in thought.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at his son and said, "Ruslan, you go with Ocean!"

"Huh?" Luslan was still thinking about how to get Liliana to let him and Oshen go together, but Liliana took the initiative to suggest it. "Father? Is that alright?"

"Get out of here, get out of here." Liliana waved her hand, but her face looked somewhat dejected.

Doris looked at Ocean, who was packing his things, and asked, "Oushen, can you tell Mom where you're going? Will you be coming back?"

“Let’s go to Atlantis.” Oshin stuffed a bag of monster jerky into his backpack and turned to look at his mother.

He hugged his mother, who was much smaller than him, and gave her a bright smile: "How could I not come back? No matter how far away I am, I will come back."

"Mmm, mmm." Doris nodded, controlling her emotions.

Ou Shen slung his backpack over his shoulder, walked out of the shed, paused briefly as he stepped out from behind the curtain, glanced back at Doris who was still standing inside, swallowed hard, and then walked out.

"Mom, I'm leaving!"

Luslan packed his things and carried Jimia out.

"Dad, I'm leaving!"

Oshin nodded, not asking why Ruslan could come with him, and Ruslan didn't say anything either.

The two walked side by side to the beach.

Looking at the darkening sky, Ou Shen mustered all his strength and shouted, "Cousin! I know you can hear me!"

"While I'm away, protect my mother! If you dare lie to me, even if you're a god, I'll bring down Dodo!"

"Did you understand?!"

After saying this, Ocean and Ruslan jumped onto the large raft that Ruslan had brought back, one after the other.

With divine power activated, a bright blue fluorescence appeared in Ocean's eyes, and the seawater beneath the raft began to surge on its own, carrying Ocean, Luslan, and Jimia northward.

Atlantis is located north of Doris Island.

Hermes, sitting atop the clouds, wiped the cold sweat from his temples and withdrew his divine interference.

"That scared me to death... This younger brother of yours really is a handful." He sighed. "If I hadn't intervened, and what you just said had reached Father's ears, this entire archipelago would probably have fallen silent due to divine punishment..."

"Well, at least you've finally left this island." Hermes, cheek puffed out, crossed his legs atop the clouds, watching Ocean's two companions disappear into the distance with a smile. "The vastness of Atlantis should be your stage... [Demigod Oceanos] Ah..."

As he spoke, his expression became somewhat strange, as if he were feeling a little sad.

Sometimes I really wish I hadn't been created as a machine, but rather born as a being with emotions from the start...

"Humanoid sub-individual, humanoid sub-individual..."

"In the end, it's just a single brain unit; how can it possibly control the thoughts of the actual organism?"

"Well, protecting your mother, Doris, is quite simple. After all, once the gods reviewed the data I submitted, they lost interest in this ordinary human being..."

However, Oshin, who rode the ocean currents away, was unaware of all this.
