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

"Hestia, Hermes, get out of my way!" Poseidon raised his trident and aimed it at the cabin.

He knew, of course, that there were two other deities present, but in his current state of confusion, he didn't care about that; he only wanted to get rid of the son who posed a threat to him.

Azure light condensed at the tip of the trident. Poseidon didn't waste any more words and immediately tried to make his move.

Rashtanaha and the already awakened Bashamizo were firmly locked in place by Poseidon's divine power, unable to move at all.

hum-

boom------!!!

The beam of Poseidon's trident shot out from its tip, about to hit Rashtanaha's hut.

but--

Bang-!

A light screen appeared in front of the cabin.

Dressed in a light brown gown, Hestia extended her hand to help the cabin block Poseidon's attack.

"Hestia! Why!" Poseidon demanded, frowning.

“Although I don’t know what happened, but—he is your son, Poseidon, my brother.” Hestia’s expression was cold as she withdrew her hand.

"He is my son, that's true, but this son is now trying to usurp his father's divine authority!" Poseidon said angrily, his trident trembling slightly, causing the entire coastline of Atlantis to shake.

"This...that divine core?" Hestia hesitated.

The power of God has been shaken, that is indeed true....

“Poseidon, Uncle! Stop your anger!” Hermes also came out of the hut.

Hestia and Poseidon both turned their attention to Hermes, waiting for his explanation.

“Aunt Hestia, I will explain all this later, but for now, I hope you can save Oceanus in the house. He is about to go to see Uncle Hades.” Hermes looked at Hestia solemnly.

Hestia thought for a moment, sighed, and nodded.

I owe Hermes a favor, and since it's Hermes' request, I'll do it.

Hestia went into the hut, leaving Poseidon to glare at Hermes with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Poseidon, second uncle, have you forgotten the purpose for which Oceanus was born?” Hermes glared back defiantly.

So what if you're a god? Aside from weapon power, how am I, Hermes, inferior to you gods? In fact, my speed is far greater than most gods.

This is also the source of his confidence in communicating with the supreme deity.

Poseidon was startled.

I was so caught up in my anger that I almost forgot what Oshin's purpose in this world is.

"...It's just a test subject of the great god, nothing more. It's not like it's unreplicable," Poseidon retorted forcefully.

"Then may I ask, was the copying successful?" Hermes pressed on.

“This…” Poseidon was speechless.

"Whether it's you or the great god, you're both very concerned about this experiment, but will a second experimental sample be produced?" Hermes asked with a smile.

Poseidon fell silent.

Over the years, he had tried to father children with human women on other islands, and even with many other races, but—

Failure, without exception.

Even if a fertilized egg is produced, it will quickly lose its activity. Even if the fertilized egg is removed from the mother's body and preserved in mechanical equipment, it will still lose its activity. In any case, it is impossible to produce a second successful experiment.

This also made the god very concerned about Oceanus, and he always had his own wingman Hermes observe Oceanus, waiting for Oceanus to fully grow and recording the process of Oceanus's growth.

If something goes wrong with Oceanus, you can imagine how furious the god would be.

“What should we do? He has shaken my authority, and you know what that means.” Poseidon’s emotions were still not calm.

Hermes sighed.

He turned around and called out into the hut, "Aunt Hestia, how is she?"

Hestia's slender, pale fingers touched Ocean's chest, using her own functions to "process" Ocean's heart.

Ocean's heart muscle had already died, and using electric shock to revive him was completely ineffective; the only option was to use his processing function to regenerate it.

While processing the heart, Hestia also created a temporary simulated heart, connecting Ocean's arteries and veins to it to establish extracorporeal blood circulation and keep Ocean alive.

"Wait a minute, the situation is complicated, it might take a few minutes." Hestia's face was covered in sweat.

While it's possible to accomplish these tasks using only humanoid sub-individuals without relying on a physical machine, it's certainly a bit of a stretch.

Chapter 582 The Value and Significance of Experiments

“It’ll take a few more minutes…” Hermes pursed his lips. “Could we move him out first? And do the repairs outside?”

“And Uncle Poseidon, you should come down too.” Hermes beckoned. “Standing up there is tiring; doesn’t the consumption of divine power count as a consumption?”

Poseidon, Hestia: ...

Helpless, Hestia picked up Ocean and walked out of the cabin.

“Oshen—” Luslan wanted to follow, but was grabbed by an arm.

It's Lemoni.

“Lemoni, Ocean—”

"Don't speak yet, Oshin is most likely out of danger now." Lemoni's eyes were fixed on Oshin, and he rarely showed an expression other than calm.

He was now gritting his teeth in resentment.

Ruslan stared blankly at Lemoni: "You..."

“Although we are very unwilling, but, but—if we go up now, we will only cause trouble and may even endanger Ocean’s life. So, Luslan, hold back. Trust that Lord Hermes and Lord Hestia can protect Ocean’s life. We are powerless, powerless—”

Both Jimia and Luslan remained silent.

Lemony... is right.

They can only watch now, and they have no choice but to... watch.

Aga watched everything unfolding before him with trembling eyes, somewhat bewildered, yet also filled with immense sorrow.

Hestia placed Ocean on the ground, and Poseidon calmed the giant waves, stepped onto the shore, and came to Hermes and Hestia's side.

He looked at his son lying on the ground, with short blue hair and muscular build, his face... filled with undisguised murderous intent.

After the extracorporeal circulation was established, Oshen's condition actually stabilized.

He had regained some consciousness and was feeling the sharp pain in his chest. He didn't want to say anything.

Looking vaguely at the tall and majestic sea god standing beside him, Ou Shen felt somewhat ridiculous.

I knew I was right about you, Poseidon.

Although you are my father, you have only met me, your son, once.

But this one aspect is enough for me to realize what kind of god you are.

Poseidon must be the most ruthless, indifferent, and incomprehensible god to humankind.

How tragic, Poseidon...

Ou Shen looked at his father with a mocking expression, then lost consciousness again.

Hermes looked at Ocean, sighed silently, and extended one of his fingers, placing it on Ocean's chest as well.

Divine Core Link, Divine Core Activation...

A grey light shone from Hermes' chest.

Hestia was somewhat surprised: "Your divine core is actually carried by your humanoid individual?"

Hermes nodded without saying a word.

The blue light reappeared on Ou Shen's chest.

“The Divine Core…” Poseidon saw the blue bead and his expression turned solemn.

No wonder, no wonder their divine authority has been shaken.

His own son had actually condensed a divine core.

The divine core actually represents a kind of authority, the authority over things it controls.

The authority over the ocean was held by its four divine cores, which was originally unshakeable.

However... a new, unfamiliar, but extremely similar divine core was born.

This means that the power to control the system is being seized.

Hermes touched Ocean's core.

Then--

Click.

A gray shackle appeared on the divine core.

“Restrict his divine core, then you should be at ease.”

Ou Shen, this is all I can do.

Hermes had just finished thinking when he saw Poseidon extend his hand as well.

Click.

A deep blue shackle also appeared on this incompletely condensed divine core.

"To be on the safe side, let's leave it at that," Poseidon said, arms crossed.

Hermes: ......

Brother, I really have no other way.

Having removed his divine core, Hermes stood up: "So, are you relieved now?"
