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

Hera pouted, somewhat displeased. "So you can't understand humans, just like you can't understand me."

Looking at his wife, who was arguing with him, Zeus opened his mouth, feeling himself becoming restless.

Hmm... In a sense, this should also be considered understanding humanity?

Zeus understood that now was not the time for exercise, and forcibly suppressed the impulse of the humanoid individual.

Hera noticed Zeus holding back his gun, chuckled, and steered the conversation back to normal: "So, now that you know Ocean has arrived in Atlantis, what are you going to do?"

Zeus paused for a moment, then shook his head: "I actually knew a long time ago that Oceanus was coming to Atlantis, but I just didn't expect him to come so soon."

"It seems that the monster boy and he have a good relationship, as he can get him to use his full divine power," Hera said while weaving.

Zeus pursed his lips, thinking that Ocean was making a mountain out of a molehill, which was also the reason for his miscalculation.

He stood up: "I'll go check Oshin's report. Once Oshin's body is fully developed, it will be time for him to play his role."

"Does his father know?" Hera asked abruptly, stopping her weaving and looking at her husband.

Zeus nodded: "His father knows, and he's expressed great interest. What's wrong?"

“…It’s nothing.” Hera sighed, shook her head, and waved to Zeus. “You go ahead with your work.”

Zeus felt somewhat bewildered, shrugged, and walked out of the bedroom on his own.

After Zeus left, Hera placed the half-finished cloth on the table, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the distant sea.

"It's because of this mindset that you'll forever remain gods, unable to win the hearts of men, unable to understand the 'reeds' you speak of..." she murmured, a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes. "Unfortunately, I cannot remain uninvolved, nor can I change my stance..."

"Hestia... Sister..."

Chapter 534 Alma's Sorrow

Alma whimpered twice and slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake." A deep male voice came from behind.

Alma saw an incredibly ferocious face, and instantly felt her heart stop.

"Aaaaaah!" Startled, Elma climbed straight up Lashtanaha.

Kimia was hurt: "Brother is handsome too, okay? It's just that there's a wound on your face, but that doesn't mean you have to be so scared."

"Huh?" Alma's frizzy hair fell back down, and she was a little confused about the situation.

"Child, I'm so glad to see you wake up safe and sound." Rashtanaha's gentle voice reached Alma's ears, bringing some relief to her confused mind.

"Hey, Agapimelo, your sister's awake!" Kimia called out into the distance.

Lashtanaha gently took the dazed Elma off and placed her on the ground. Elma stared blankly at the figure running towards her from a distance.

"sister!"

Aga hugged Alma very tightly.

"Aga? Huh?" Alma was a little confused.

“You fainted,” Rashtanaha said softly. “Then Aga came looking for you.”

Her thoughts suddenly cleared, and Alma remembered everything that had happened before she fainted.

She saw a group of people walking towards her, and among them, she spotted a burly young man with short blue hair, Ou Shen.

She remembered...

Oshin walked up to Alma and casually asked, "Boss, are you alright?"

"—! No! Don't come any closer!" Alma swallowed hard, backed away, and leaned against Rashtanaha, trembling uncontrollably.

"Huh?" Oshin was startled by Alma's reaction and involuntarily froze on the spot.

Alma's face turned deathly pale, her expression terrified, and her breathing rapid.

She remembered.

Ou Shen's eyes gleamed with azure light, his thick hands taut as he pulled a massive water dragon and a raging tsunami from the sea.

Tsunami...

Just like... the tsunami that took her and Aga's parents away.

"Who are you? No, no, no, you are—what are you?" She pointed at Ou Shen, her eyes filled with tears, and said in terror.

Ou Shen pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered: "Me, me?"

"Get away from me!!!" Alma suddenly roared madly, pulling Agabimello behind her. She looked at Oshin with fear and hatred in her eyes, breathing heavily, tears streaming down her face as if she didn't care about her life.

"Sister? You?" Aga was at a loss.

The entire room fell silent.

"Calm down, kid, your will has been crushed by life." Rashtanaha chose to break the deadlock.

"Sis, calm down!" Aga suddenly grabbed Alma's shoulder, turned her around, and looked at her with some anger in her eyes. "What's wrong with you?! Why have you been acting so strange these past two days?"

“Aga, I…” Alma looked at her brother’s face and felt even more aggrieved.

The four men looked at each other in utter confusion.

"So what exactly happened?" Kiyaya looked up at the sky, staring at the gloomy clouds, and sighed deeply.

"Oshin, did you do something to her?" Luslan looked at Oshin with utter contempt.

"Fuck you! I've been in your sight the whole time, what could I do?" Ou Shen's face was bulging with veins; he was very unhappy.

Lemoni didn't say anything. What was I doing in Atlantis again?

Aga looked at her sister's tears, her lips trembled slightly, and finally turned into a sigh.

Releasing her hands, Alma collapsed to the ground. Aga sat opposite Alma, first giving Oshin and the other three an apologetic look, then turning his gaze back to Alma.

"Sis, what happened? Please tell me." Aga looked directly into Alma's eyes. "I'm your brother. If you suffer any injustice, it's like slapping me in the face. So tell me everything that happened, and I'll help you solve it, okay?"

Alma lowered her head, forcibly controlling her emotions, snorted twice, and nodded.

Her voice was barely audible as she explained everything to her younger brother.

Aga listened and nodded.

"...So, you lost control of your emotions...?" Aga smacked his lips.

Alma nodded very slightly.

"So that was just a hallucination, you've been under too much pressure lately." Aga patted Alma's head, as if comforting a child.

Grabbing the money bag from Rashtanaha's side, Agah walked over to Ocean and handed the money bag to Ocean.

Ou Shen, unaware of the situation, instinctively took the money bag.

“My sister came to the beach to return this to you, but you forgot to take it yesterday.” Aga looked up at Oshin. “Regarding my sister’s outburst at you… I’m so sorry!”

"Oh, ah, um...it's alright now, isn't she?" Oshin took the money bag and glanced at Alma, who was sitting on the ground with her back to everyone.

"...I'm fine." Alma seemed to sense Oshin's gaze, supported herself to stand up, and walked to Oshin and Aga's side with her head down.

"Sister, you can leave this to me..."

“Aga!” Elma interrupted Aga abruptly, “...That’s not an illusion.”

She looked up at Oshin, who was much, much taller than her: "I'm sure."

Aga's expression became complicated, and her gaze involuntarily drifted to the wrist guard on her wrist.

“You… can control tsunamis,” Alma said, emphasizing each word.

Ou Shen opened his mouth and nodded.

Alma's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she lowered her head slightly.

"What is your relationship with that god?" Alma asked with difficulty.

"...He is my father."

"...How is your relationship?" Alma asked again.

"Not very good."

“Eight years ago… a tsunami struck here, did you know that?” Alma’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Ou Shen didn't speak, but his expression turned serious.

Luslan and Jimia also stopped watching the show and stood obediently to the side.

“Sister…” Aga murmured to himself.

“That tsunami…swept away more than half of Ozark’s people.” Alma’s hand involuntarily gripped Ocean’s arm, her whole being filled with sorrow and anger. “Aga was still young then, and he doesn’t have any memory of that hellish scene.”

"But I remember."

"I still remember the look of despair in my parents' eyes as they were swept away by the giant wave and drifted further and further away."

Ou Shen felt the increasing strength in his arm, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.

"I know it's not your fault, but... but..."

Oshin's arm was scratched by Alma, and bright red blood flowed out.

Chapter 535 An Arrow That Shatters Prejudice

wow——

The tide washed away the anger, and the beach was silent as dusk fell.

Blood flowed from Ou Shen's forearm, dripping down the contours of the muscles onto the muddy ground.

Jimia and Luslan frowned, instinctively wanting to move closer to Oshen and Alma.

Aga looked at Jimia and Luslan approaching, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Ou Shen stretched out a hand, signaling the two men not to come any closer.
