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

"Ugh, can you stop fighting all the time? Even if I were a god, I'd like to slack off too! These videos are going to be shown to the great god, Oshen. Can you relax a bit? What if we can't keep it a secret if this keeps up?" Hermes said to Oshen, sitting on the unconscious Bashamizzo.

“Aha, haha, but I can’t hold back either.” Oshin sat on Bashamiso’s lap with a wry smile. “After all, if I don’t go all out, I might really lose. I don’t want to be hammered at the bottom of the sea by my defeated opponent.”

"You...sigh, I don't even know what to say to you. I'm really starting to doubt whether it was the right choice to have you verify my ideas." Hermes covered his face speechlessly.

"...Actually, you should know what I'm up to, bro." Oshin's eyes became complicated. "Testing the waters and stuff..."

“The gods aren’t just Poseidon and the great gods, there’s also me, and Aunt Hestia…” Hermes said with a smile.

“But you are the outcasts among the gods,” Ocean interrupted Hermes.

Hermes remained silent.

Ou Shen is right.

He was not one of the twelve Olympian gods. Among the twelve Olympian gods, Hestia and Demeter, who shared similar thoughts with him, were indeed intentionally marginalized by the great gods. Demeter was able to return to Dodo because of the major event more than a year ago.

"...In short, I don't intend to give up. I've protected you for so long, you'd better go and verify the possibility properly." Hermes said this and disappeared.

Oshin looked at the spot where Hermes had disappeared and sighed.

He kicked Basamizo twice: "Hey, you should be awake by now."

Glug glug—

A burst of bubbles rose from underwater, accompanied by Basamizo's voice.

"What's the use of being awake? Why are you so strong?"

Seeing Basamizo so heartbroken that he didn't even want to show his face above the water, Ocean was amused: "I never thought you could be sad and shy like this."

"Screw you! You've won, so get lost! I'll come back and challenge you again when I'm stronger!" Basamizo said angrily, then sank into the water, and Ocean also entered the water.

"Alright, alright, as long as I'm free, I'll definitely accept the challenge. Bye-bye." Looking at the fish tail that was almost gone, Ou Shen couldn't help but chuckle.

Go back and check on Alma to see if she's alright, then go home and visit her.

......

Alma's Tavern.

It was noon, and Alma prepared some monster meat for herself.

Looking at the food on the table, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

I've been hearing more and more news about them lately; it seems they've really made a name for themselves on this continent.

I wonder where they're adventuring now?

Clang, clang, clang—!

Suddenly, a very loud knocking sounded, startling Alma.

She stood up angrily and flung the door open: "Who is it! We're not open for lunch!"

Then, she was embraced by a figure.

She was stunned. Just as she was about to struggle free and pin this molester to the ground to dislocate his limbs, she heard a voice ring in her ear.

"Sister, I'm back."

"Huh!?" Alma pushed away Aga who was hugging her, cupped his face in her hands, and stared blankly at the familiar face. "Aga?"

"Yes, it's me, sis. Don't press so hard, I feel like you're going to crush my chin!" Although Aga was happy to see his sister again after two years, his chin told him that it was too early to be happy.

"Ah!" Alma exclaimed, quickly releasing Aga's face. "You, you're really back?!"

"Sis, how could this be fake? I'm sure—"

Before he could finish speaking, Aga felt Alma hug him again.

This heartwarming scene lasted less than two seconds before discordant sounds broke the silence.

"Alright, alright, just give us a hug and stop blocking the doorway. Let us in first." Oshin rolled his eyes and pushed Alma and Aga aside.

Blood vessels bulged on Alma's head.

After releasing Agah, Alma punched Ocean in the stomach without saying a word.

"puff--"

Looking at Ou Shen lying on the ground turned into a shrimp, the remaining people couldn't help but shudder.

"Aga, come here!" Alma glared fiercely at her younger brother, whom she hadn't seen for two years.

"Coming, coming!" Aga quickly ran to Alma's side.

I feel like I've become really strong, but I'm still no match for my older sister...

With Aga by her side and holding onto the nearly unconscious Oshin in one hand, Alma sat down on a stool.

"I miss home." She looked at Aga calmly.

"I've thought about it." Aga chuckled. "Sis, are you angry?"

"Why would I be angry? I just feel... that my brother, who has reappeared in front of me, has been praised as a hero, and it feels a bit unreal." Alma revealed a rare, gentle smile.

She gently stroked her brother's hair, very tenderly.

"That's right, I'm an old cow now—"

“However, Aga, I’ve heard other things about you.” Alma’s smile softened further. “About you, you really enjoy flirting with girls—”

Aga glanced at Ou Shen and the others, his eyes conveying a powerful message.

help me.

The four of them, Ou Shen, also had a very good understanding, and their silent communication began.

Get lost.

"Hey Ruslan, should we go and say hello to Mayor Laurent and old man Cheyhun?"

"Oh dear, that's true. Now that you mention it, Ou Shen, we really should go and see him. After all, it's been a long time since we've been back."

"Let's go together, let's see how the old man's health is now!"

"...Take me with you."

Aga felt the hand gripping his hair getting stronger and stronger, and swallowed hard.

"How could I, the mighty hero Agapimaero, possibly lose to...ahhhhhh—"

Hearing the horrific screams behind them, the four people who had already left the Alma Tavern laughed heartily.

“Ozark seems to have changed a lot.” Ruslan looked around.

Ozark has indeed changed a lot. Wooden houses are now rare, replaced by more sturdy stone houses, and there are more pedestrians on the streets. It feels similar to the cities the group encountered on their journey.

"This shows that while we're training ourselves, we're also making things convenient for others," Ou Shen said, rubbing his stomach. "Enjoying the cheers is the result, not the goal. Isn't that great?"

"They're saying things I can't understand."

"After all, I'm the captain. Only those who speak in a way that others can't understand are considered to be of high status!"

"Yue, go to hell."

Chapter 602 Return to Doris Island

Day three.

On a ship traveling from Atlantis to Athena Island.

Everyone remained silent, sitting very properly.

The reason, of course, is that there is a sixth person on this ship.

"So, this ship can only operate by Aga's magic power." Alma had never known this before, and it was still very new to her.

“Yes, while Aga is outputting magic, I will also control the waves to assist, so that even if the Alma runs non-stop all day, neither Aga nor I will feel tired.” Oshin nodded and pointed to the surging water below that was propelling the ship forward as he explained to the Alma.

"...Speaking of which, why did you decide to name this ship 'Elma'? It feels really weird." Elma sat down on a recliner with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

“Because it’s really better to go on adventures with my sister, isn’t it?” Aga, who was at the helm, turned around and smiled. “Since my sister can’t come with us, why not name this ship after her, Mingming? Wouldn’t that be better?”

"That's true, but this is too..." Alma still felt something was off.

“But why are you coming out to sea with us? We’re just going to visit Lemoni’s hometown and then go back to our own. There won’t be any adventures you’re interested in,” Ruslan said to Alma, leaning on the edge of the deck and watching the splashing water below.

"I just wanted to know a little about your journey." With a smile, Alma lay back on the sun lounger. "The sunshine feels so nice..."

"You'll feel uncomfortable in a bit, your skin will peel off from the sun," Kimia complained.

"Ugh?!"

Lemony, on the other hand, stayed alone in the cabin below deck.

Her eyes were filled with an uncontrollable longing.

Athena, I'm finally coming back...

......

After sailing for about ten days and traversing a long distance, an island that didn't look very big came into view.

After landing, Lemoni stepped onto the familiar land, feeling his heart surge with emotion.

"We'll come pick you up later!" Ocean waved to Lemoni.

Because it involved the goddess Athena, the group did not intend to participate in Lemoni's reunion with his family, but instead left it to him to go to the island.

After sending Lemoni down, the next stop is Doris Island, the hometown of Ocean and the others.

Upon arriving on Athena Island, Lemoni took a deep breath and detonated his golden spear, accelerating himself as he sped towards the temple like a shooting star.

"Doris Island, huh? That sounds like a person's name." Alma found the name Doris Island intriguing. "Whose name is it?"

“Doris is my mother and the chief of our tribe.” Oshin stood next to Agah, smiling as he recalled the past.

"Chief Doris is a very powerful woman." Jimiya was sitting on the edge of the deck, poking the sea with the bone spike in his hand. Occasionally, he could poke up a couple of fish, which he would throw into his mouth, chew, and swallow.

"Powerful?" Alma became interested.

"It's not about martial prowess..." Luslan broke out in a cold sweat, "Although Chief Doris's martial skills are definitely not weak..."
