Chapter 524 The Demon Tree - Rashtanaha

"Don't worry, we'll definitely arrive at Atlantis before dawn tomorrow." Ocean handed Lemoni a live fish, grinning from ear to ear.

Grinning and giving a thumbs-up has almost become Ou Shen's trademark.

Lemoni stared blankly at the lively fish in his hand, then looked at Oshin with a bewildered expression.

Lemoni: How do you eat this?

Oshin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that by Lemoni.

"What's wrong, Lemoni? Don't you like eating it directly?" Oshin looked bewildered as well.

Lemoni swallowed hard as he listened to Ocean's words.

Are you guys that strong?

“Leave it to me!” Luslan understood, gracefully taking the live fish from Lemoni’s hand, drawing his short sword from his waist, and with two swift strokes, the live fish was dismembered into pieces of raw meat.

"Eat up, don't be shy!" Luslan smiled kindly.

Lemoni looked at the raw fish slices and felt a little uncomfortable, but looking at the translucent texture of the flesh... he couldn't help but swallow.

This is... my first time eating raw meat, right?

But...it looks so delicious...

......

While Aga was showing off to his older sister and Lemoni was wavering about whether to eat raw meat, Hestia noticed what was happening on the southern edge of Atlantis.

"Oh my, that's..." She covered her mouth, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

“This is truly…” Not only Hestia, but Hermes also marveled.

The object of their amazement was naturally the large tree that Agapima had brought out from underground, rooted on the coast.

“That’s quite rare,” Hermes smiled.

Spiritual veins can transform ordinary wild beasts into magical beasts because wild beasts themselves possess spirituality and have simple magical circuits within their bodies.

But plants are different.

For a plant to transform from an ordinary plant into one with magical powers is far more difficult than for an animal, to the point of being almost impossible.

But what is now presented to the two deities is the accomplishment of the impossible.

Looking at the magical tree standing by the sea, swaying slightly in the dim sunlight, Hestia stood up.

“Then, it’s yours.” Hermes’ eyes were kind. “Aunt Hestia.”

Hestia paid no attention to the title Hermes and vanished from the spot in a flash.

Hestia was the first of the six ships created using the [Titan series flagship - Chronos] as a base module, and it was the first to be activated.

The order in which the six ships were launched was: Hestia (God of Fire), Demeter (Goddess of Agriculture), Hera (Queen of the Gods), Hades (God of the Underworld), Poseidon (God of the Sea), and Zeus (Great God).

In other words, among all three generations of warships, the Hestia is also the oldest.

This magic tree is a rare item, and not competing for it would be a favor. Although Hermes also wanted it, he could easily weigh the favor from the gods against the rarity of the item.

The humanoid form of Hestia descended to the ground.

She stood in front of the magic tree, looking at it with astonishment.

"This level of magic is top-tier, even among magical beasts transformed from animals... no, even among all magical beasts."

The magic tree was curious about the person who suddenly appeared next to it, and lowered a branch as if to greet him.

"Such a pure heart..." Hestia gently grasped the branch of the magic tree with her slender white fingers, and smiled warmly, "Like a child who has not yet grown up, yet you are already over a thousand years old..."

"Gentle tree, may I ask if you could give me a branch of yours?" Hestia asked gently.

The tree swayed slightly, but without any apparent thought, the branch that Hestia was holding detached from the tree.

Hestia smiled and said, "Gentle tree, you will receive my praise for your purity and gentleness."

"I declare once again in the name of [Holy Fire God Hestia]." Hestia closed her eyes and climbed onto the trunk of the magic tree.

Her eyes opened, radiating a bright, crimson-orange light. Her long, light gray hair moved without wind, giving Hestia, who appeared delicate, a powerful aura.

The tree was curious, but not afraid.

“I will bestow upon you a name, the right to bear my sacred fire in your own body, gentle tree.” A flame appeared in Hestia’s hand and ignited on a branch from the tree. “Your name is—Rashtanaha.”

The magic tree, named Rashtanaha, accepted its name and swayed gently.

The Olympic flame is not an ordinary fire.

The sacred fire is ever-burning, symbolizing the stability of families and the peace of communities. This also means that Hestia is the guardian deity of families and housewives.

Although the sacred fire is not ordinary fire, it originates from ordinary fire, from the hearth of every household. This is also the origin of another major deity of Hestia, the "Venus God."

In Atlantis, every town has its own altar, and in the divine court of Dodona, there is a great altar where the sacred fire of Hestia burns, illuminating the offerings that people make to the gods.

“You don’t need to do anything else for me. Although I gave you a name, for a pure being like you, all you need to do is protect those around you and keep them from suffering the wrath of my volatile brother, is that alright?” she asked with a smile.

Rashtanaha shook the treetops.

Hestia knew that this meant consent, that he had accepted the name and blessing she had bestowed upon him, and that Lashtanah had already acquired a certain level of intellect.

Hestia gave no further instructions and disappeared from the spot.

She was an unassuming goddess; among the twelve Olympian gods, she was the least conspicuous.

It wasn't because she was weak, but because that was her nature.

......

Lemoni is now filled with regret, deep regret.

Raw fish slices are indeed delicious, very refreshing, and not greasy at all.

However, he overlooked one thing: Ocean was still riding the waves toward Atlantis.

He ate more because he thought the sashimi was delicious.

So now...

“Yue—” Lemoni clung to the side of the small boat, as if he had lost all his strength.

"Are you alright? You'll get used to it after a while." Luslan patted Lemony on the back and asked with concern.

Lemoni shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

He glanced at Jimia.

Although I'm feeling terrible, I'm sure the big guy lying there named Kimia is feeling even worse.

If Jimia hadn't been in imminent danger, Oshin, who was standing there, wouldn't have been able to move the small boat and raft so quickly.

With a wave of his hand, Lemoni took a small bag of fresh water from the small boat and drank it.

"You two—we can see it!" Ou Shen's eyes flashed as he looked at what appeared at the end of the sea.

Ruslan and Lemoni immediately got excited.

Chapter 525 Finally Arriving in Atlantis

“That’s Atlantis… It definitely feels different from our home.” Ruslan grabbed Ocean’s shoulder and stood on tiptoe to look at Atlantis.

"The beach is full of rocks, not sand... That's strange." The speed of the waves that Ou Shen was riding hadn't decreased, but it was a bit odd.

The coastlines surrounding Doris Island are covered with fine sand, but this particular coastline is composed of gray stones, muddy tidal flats, and a strikingly conspicuous tree.

Ou Shen glanced at the tree, feeling something was off, but there were more important things to do right now, so he decided to ignore the oddities for the time being.

"Hold on tight, you two. I'll steer the boat straight to shore. I don't want to get stuck in the mud," Ou Shen said with a smile.

Lemoni and Ruslan were so frightened that their mouths twisted in disbelief. They quickly grabbed on tighter, and Ruslan also grabbed Jimia.

Ou Shen lowered his body slightly, controlling the height of the seawater as it rose, so that the small boat and raft were about two meters above the sea surface.

"We're ashore!"

The waves crashed onto the shore, passing over the rocks and mudflats, and finally settled on the land.

Ou Shen stepped off the raft and onto solid ground, somewhat incredulous.

Lemony stood beside Ocean, gazing into the distance at the horizon, and murmured, "This is it..."

“Atlantis.” Ocean’s eyes narrowed slightly as he continued Luslan’s words.

Lemony was also curious, and the three of them looked into the distance together.

There were no dense forests, but rather an endless expanse of wilderness.

At the edge of the wilderness, you can see buildings of various shapes.

This is a completely different world from the islands—more advanced, more civilized, and more vast.

Oshin lowered his head and lifted Jimia, who was still lying on the raft, onto his shoulder. Luslan helped to support him so that Oshin could carry Jimia on his back.

Ji Miyatai was so tall that when Ou Shen carried him on his back, his feet dragged on the ground.

“This bastard has gotten heavier again,” Ou Shen grinned.

Looking at Lemoni, who had a backpack on his back and a golden spear in his hand, Luslan smiled and asked, "Lemoni, now that we've arrived in Atlantis, what... are your plans?"

Lemoni scratched his face and shook his head in confusion.

“Then why don’t you join us?” Ou Shen turned his head and said.

Lemoni immediately thought of the astonishing destructive power of Ocean using the waves to propel his small boat, and instinctively wanted to shake his head.

But then I remembered Ou Shen fighting to the death with that enormous demonic whale at sea, and I couldn't help but feel a little curious about him, and my mind went blank.

Ruslan didn't give Lemony a chance to continue thinking, and directly patted Lemony on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about? Let's go!"

“Ah, um…” Lemoni nodded.

“What do you mean, Oshin?” Luslan looked at Oshin.

“That should be a town. Let’s go take a look.” Oshen’s hand was supporting Jimia, so he couldn’t point the way. He could only gesture with his lips. “My cousin told me that we can get the antidote if we go to a town in Atlantis.”
