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

Alma was lying in bed. It wasn't time for her to get up yet; it was still dark outside, but she had already woken up.

I woke up from the cold.

"What the hell is going on?!" Alma has been in a very bad mood these past two days. It seems that her younger brother really wants to go to the forest to die with those muscle monsters. She can't fight city hall. Although Alma agreed to let Aga pursue the life he wanted, she was still upset. She was so upset that she didn't open the tavern for the past two days and locked herself in the tavern to sleep. She wouldn't see anyone except when Aga came back to check on her.

Upon opening her eyes in bed, Alma's anger at having her biological clock disrupted erupted directly.

What's going on? It's so cold!

For the first time in her life, Alma experienced what "cold" felt like.

The area around Ozark is like a barbecue grill during the dry season and a steamer during the rainy season; in short, it's always unbearably hot and never cold.

But this morning, Alma truly experienced what it meant to be cold.

It was bone-chillingly cold; I could feel the bones beneath my muscles trembling.

"What happened...?" Alma involuntarily pulled her linen blanket off the bed and draped it over herself.

As she went downstairs and opened the tavern door, Alma felt a strong gust of cold wind rush into the room.

"Holy crap, it's so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold."

Ignoring Alma, who was nearly frozen to death, something unusual had already happened on Ocean's side.

Inside Oshin's chest, the strong heart belonging to a demigod was pounding violently.

Something is taking shape in Ocean's soul.

dong dong!

Hermes naturally noticed Ocean's unusual behavior and was standing by Ocean's bedside, observing him.

“My previous guess was correct.” He placed one hand on Ou Shen’s chest, his expression playful.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Hestia's expression when she sees this...

What is gradually coalescing in Ocean's soul is the foundation of God's existence.

That is--

Divine core.

"Will intense battles stimulate this divine blood...? This talent is truly frightening."

dong dong!

Ou Shen's heart pounded loudly again, and a faint blue light began to emanate from below his chest.

Poseidon, who was sleeping in his underwater palace, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What...is this feeling?"

He sensed something.

What... a sense of unease.

The humanoid sub-item was covered in cold sweat, and Poseidon suddenly remembered something.

"My son, is that you?"

"But... why do I feel this way?"

"This feeling...like something is about to be taken away from me."

After thinking for two seconds, Poseidon did not hesitate any longer, and the humanoid sub-individual directly merged into the true body of the machine god.

【Environmental Transformation Ship - Poseidon】, sets sail.

My son, let me go see what you're up to.

Why do I feel this unease?

......

Along with Poseidon's True Form Mech, another True Form Mech set off towards Ocean.

Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and sacred fire.

Also known as the [Resource Processing Ship Hestia]

Hestia's reason for going to the south of Atlantis was naturally different from Poseidon's. She received information from Hermes that was passed on to Zeus, and Zeus gave her the order to go to the south of Atlantis.

She was a little confused when she first received the instructions.

Zeus instructed her that it was snowing in Atlantis and that she should go and teach the people how to avoid the cold.

She was completely stumped. Atlantis? Snowing?

Are you kidding me?

The central and southern parts of Atlantis are almost entirely within the equator, so how could it possibly snow?

But after she arrived in the south, she fell silent.

Because... it really snowed, and it was a lot of snow.

The disaster affected only four or five towns, fortunately the affected area was not large.

but......

"Where is the Hermes?" Hestia's true form, the Mecha God, hovered above the clouds, but no energy fluctuations from the humanoid Hermes were detected.

"Hestia, I'm down here!" Hermes knew it was almost time and estimated that Hestia should have arrived by now, so he sent Hestia his location.

"Down below?" The outline of a humanoid sub-individual material condensed on the true body of the mecha, which resembled a giant triangle. Hestia stood on the true body of the mecha and looked down, peering through the clouds.

"That's... Rashtanaha?" Hestia landed on the ground with a sense of doubt.

"Lord Hestia." Rashtanaha couldn't bend over, so he could only let down a few branches to show his respect to the god who had blessed him.

"Rashtanaha, it seems you're doing quite well." Hestia gently tapped Rashtanaha's branch with her slender fingers.

Hermes rushed out of the small wooden house: "Auntie, you're here! Come here quickly, I have something to show you."

Hestia: ? ? ?

Completely bewildered, Hestia was dragged into the cabin by Hermes, where she saw four people leaning against the wall.

Luslan, Jimia, Lemoni, Agah: ...

Can anyone tell us what's going on? Two gods came to our room in the middle of the night, and it's freezing cold.

Hermes and Hestia paid no attention to the four people huddled together there; their attention was focused on Ocean.

Ou Shen was floating in the air at some point, but he still didn't seem to be fully conscious.

He frowned, blue light emanating from his chest, and his body had shifted away from his bed, as if he were slowly drifting away.

"This is—a divine core?!" Hestia covered her mouth in disbelief. "This is that demigod, Oceanus, the son of Poseidon?"

"You got it right."

Hermes narrowed his eyes: "This is the final crucial step in the condensation of this divine core."

"If Oceanos... truly possesses this divine core, then for him, everywhere will be the ocean."

Hermes stroked his chin, looking at the blue light emanating from Oceanus's chest.

boom----

Just then, a loud noise came from outside the wooden house.

Ou Shen suddenly opened his eyes.

"My son! What are you doing?!" A stern and angry voice came from outside.

The moment Ou Shen opened his eyes, he fell to the ground. The divine core that was condensing also stopped its condensation process, as if a pause button had been pressed, freezing in place.

"Pfft—" Ou Shen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hestia was confused and bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Hermes, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 581 A Standoff Between Gods, Ou Shen's Life Hangs by a Thread

Hermes was dumbfounded.

“Poseidon? Why would he come?” Hermes murmured, looking at Ocean, whose consciousness was blurred and whose eyes had rolled back.

"Oshen!" Luslan pushed past the two gods, rushed to Oshen's side, and picked him up. "Oshen! What's wrong, Oshen!"

Ou Shen's mouth and nose were covered in gushing blood, which was still flowing out continuously, indicating a massive amount of bleeding.

"Something's wrong...this bleeding is abnormal." Luslan was almost frantic. "How can there be so much blood? Ocean, pull yourself together! Ocean! Ocean!"

Poseidon remained outside, standing on the surging waves, roaring angrily: "My son! Come out! Answer me! What have you done!"

On his way here, his simulation program finally figured out what was making him so uncomfortable.

If I had to describe it, it would be that "authority" is being "seized".

Unconsciously, Oshin is vying with Poseidon for absolute control of the sea.

This was his boundary, so he was furious. He didn't know what his son, Oceanos, had done to make him feel that his authority over the sea had been challenged, but—

Anyone who dares to challenge God's authority, even if they are God's child, should not continue to exist in this world!

Hermes watched Ocean nervously.

The divine core is located on the true body of the machine god, corresponding to various key positions. Of course, if it were formed on something similar to the human body, then the corresponding positions would be equally important.

heart.

Although it exists within the soul, its approximate location is indeed the heart.

Upon arriving, Poseidon, without saying a word, immediately released his aura of immense rage, forcefully suppressing Ocean's condensing divine core.

If something goes wrong with the core, it will naturally affect the heart, which is located in the same area.

Ou Shen's heart and muscles seemed to have entered a state of weakness.

"Oshen!" Jimia squeezed past the two gods and came to Oshen's side. Her keen hearing detected Oshen's gradually weakening heartbeat, and her eyes widened in fury.
