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

"So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold." She sneezed and said, shivering.

Why has it gotten so cold? Has Ozark ever experienced weather like this before?

Alma sniffled, feeling that she might not be far from freezing to death.

Just then, a light appeared in Alma's room.

Alma stared blankly at the light.

This is... knowledge given by God...

Alma suddenly felt something new in her mind.

"Cook...soup?"

"Use fire to boil soup?"

"Okay, to keep warm?"

She stared blankly as she sorted through the knowledge bestowed upon her by God, then her eyes lit up.

Chapter 584 The Divine Council of Dodona

The next day.

Divine Court, Dodona.

The great altar surrounded by the corridor of the machine gods, the council chamber of the gods.

A pale, tall, and majestic god stood in the main seat, his eyes emitting a blue-white divine light like divine thunder, looking down upon everything.

This is a meeting.

It wasn't a mandatory annual meeting, but rather an emergency meeting convened by Zeus, so not many gods came.

The seven gods—Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Hestia, and Demeter—arrived at the Great Altar.

"My fellow countrymen, my brothers and sisters, my children, by the command of [Flagship Zeus], ​​I express my gratitude to you." Zeus's scepter trembled slightly as he nodded slightly to the assembled gods in thanks.

The gods nodded in agreement, ready to listen to the topic of today's meeting.

"I vaguely remember that several years ago, I issued an order at this great altar: to attempt to create life with the creatures of the earth, to create so-called 'demigods,' in order to deepen the gods' understanding of humanity." Zeus's voice was as powerful as thunder, resounding through the heavens.

Hera, standing beside Zeus, remained expressionless, dignified, and solemn, but sighed inwardly.

God's understanding of humanity...

“Many gods responded to my suggestion and tried to have offspring with earthly creatures, but…” Zeus shook his head, “almost all of them failed. Only Poseidon, the god of the sea, successfully had a son with a human woman, and the son successfully awakened his divine power.”

The gods' expressions didn't change; this was already public knowledge.

“But something happened yesterday that has me very worried… Poseidon, you shall explain.” Zeus looked at Poseidon, who was standing to his side.

Poseidon nodded.

“My son, the only successful test subject of the demigod experiment, whose individual name is [Demigod Oceanus], showed a tendency to condense a divine core in the early hours of yesterday morning,” Poseidon stated with an icy expression.

Upon hearing this, the entire high altar fell into a brief silence.

“Poseidon, do you know what you’re saying?” Hera frowned, looking at Poseidon standing opposite her.

“Hera, I know what I’m talking about, but I wasn’t the only one present at the time; Hestia and Hermes were also there.” Poseidon looked at Hestia.

Hestia nodded silently.

The gods all frowned.

"A demigod can actually produce a divine core?" Demeter pressed her hand to her chest, somewhat puzzled.

“At that time, I felt my divine authority being shaken, so I rushed towards the source of the power and discovered that Oceanus was condensing a divine core and seizing the power of the sea. Fortunately, I arrived in time and stopped this action,” Poseidon said with lingering fear.

Hestia's lips moved slightly, trying her best not to let disgust show in her eyes.

Zeus's scepter trembled slightly, ending the commotion.

"Please be silent. In conclusion, I will issue a new order," Zeus said majestically. "From this moment forward, all 'life-creation experiments' are prohibited. The existence of demigods has shaken the foundation of the gods and undermined the meaning of the existence of true mechanical gods."

"Father, what should we do with Oceanus, who has already developed a divine core?" Apollo asked, raising one hand.

He remembered the message Hermes had given him earlier and swallowed hard.

Zeus stroked his chin, offering no reply, but instead looked at the blond-haired Apollo: "My son, what do you think?"

Apollo pretended to think for a moment, then looked at Poseidon: "Poseidon, you stopped the condensation process of the divine core yesterday, so you must have taken some measures."

Poseidon nodded: "Hermes and I have placed an eternal seal on Oceanus's divine core, so it should no longer be able to condense."

Apollo tapped his finger lightly on the table: "Is that so...?"

After a moment's thought, he looked at Zeus: "Then, Father, my suggestion is that since we have already suppressed the generation of the divine core that could shake divine authority, we should keep Oceanus, this important sample, and let him continue to provide us with data and value."

"Is that so? Who else among you agrees with this proposal?" Zeus turned his gaze to the gods.

Apollo raised his hand, and Artemis, prompted by Apollo's gaze, also raised her hand. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, also raised her hand in agreement. Hestia, after a moment's thought, also raised her hand. Hera, seeing that her two sisters had agreed, simply raised her hand as well.

Of the seven main gods, five explicitly expressed their agreement.

Zeus nodded and summarized the meeting: "Then, the experiment is suspended. As for Oceanus, it will be temporarily shelved and left untreated. Hermes will continue to observe it until Oceanus is fully grown before dissecting and studying it."

......

Ozark Town.

The rainy season, under the influence of Ocean and Bashamizo, turned into a snowy season.

Although this snow season won't last long, it'll be enough to make the people of Ozark uncomfortable for quite some time.

Alma's Tavern has reopened, and a fireplace has been added behind the bar. Alma sits behind the bar, looking rather bored.

crunch--

The tavern door was pushed open, and Alma sprang into action: "Welcome to Alma's Tavern~"

After she saw who it was, she immediately shrank back: "What? It's you guys."

"Sister, I'm back." Aga gave an awkward smile.

"Get out of here and don't come back," Alma said weakly.

"Is it going to be the same old story again today?" Ou Shen chuckled twice and sat down at the bar. "I'll have some drinks."

Alma got up to pour the wine, vaguely sensing that something was not quite right.

She placed a few glasses of wine on the bar and looked at the group of people strangely: "What's going on? Why aren't you making a fuss today? You're all acting like you're half dead?"

In the past, these men would start shouting as soon as they entered the tavern, comparing things like hunting or muscles.

“It’s nothing, it’s just…” Ou Shen turned his head slightly and looked behind him.

Luslan, Jimia, Lemoni, and even Agah all looked listless.

"Maybe it has something to do with the weather, haha." Ou Shen said with a wry smile, scratching his head.

“Speaking of which, this weather is really strange.” Alma sat back down in her chair. “I’ve lived in Ozark for sixteen years and I’ve never seen anything like snow.”

Ou Shen's lips twitched slightly: "Let's not talk about the weather for now. How about we play some games? We don't have anything else to do right now..."

If this woman finds out that he was the one who caused this heavy snow, will I die here?

"Hmm..." Alma wasn't in a great mood either. "Want to relax a bit... Okay, what should we play?"

"Uh, how about an arm wrestling match?"

Chapter 585 Mother Chimera

Cheyhun walked down the street wrapped in thick clothes.

"Hiss—it's so cold." He looked at the thick snow on the roadside and the oppressive clouds in the sky. "In this cold weather, although I can make soup, I should probably have some wine to warm myself up."

His gaze lingered on the Alma Tavern in the middle of the road.

"Alma, give me a drink—"

Pushing open the tavern door, Cheyhun froze on the spot before he could finish speaking.

What's going on?

"Ah, it's old man Cheyhun." Aga noticed the guest at the door and stood up to greet him.

"What, Aga, what is your sister doing?" Cheyhun pointed at the incredibly bizarre scene.

Alma sat at one side of the table, opposite Lemoni, one of the heroes who had defeated the two monsters, the White Chimera and the Chimera, wielding a golden spear.

Two people are arm wrestling?

Alma was a weak woman, while the other was a hero capable of defeating monsters. The outcome of this arm-wrestling match should have been a foregone conclusion.

"Uh—" Lemoni's green highlights trembled, his arm veins bulged, he gritted his teeth, cold sweat streamed down his face, and he looked at Alma opposite him with disbelief in his eyes.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph—" Alma's eyes were covered in shadow, and a terrifying smile was on her face.

"Is that all, hero?" She exhaled a mysterious white vapor that resembled steam, and her smile sent a shiver down Lemony's spine.

Her arm remained motionless.

"Uh—" Lemoni used all the strength he had to sprout, but—

I can't move!

It's completely immobile!

"If that's all there is to it—"

Alma's voice was calm, but to Lemoni it sounded like the voice of a demon.

"Eora!"

His veins bulged out instantly.

boom!
