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

"My name is... Doris," Doris said with a smile.

That's just the kind of person she is.

Seeing young children always makes me smile involuntarily.

......

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Blackbeard rubbed his head and leaned against the corner of the wall. "Ouch...it really is!"

“Rico, Bernie, why did they run away? My grand harem of seafarers has collapsed before it was even built…” Blackbeard cried bitterly. “Three hundred men on my ship—three hundred men! They didn’t even leave behind that old, dilapidated ship, the Golden Deer, with a crew of less than a hundred!”

"Whether it's that energetic orange-haired girl, or that pink-haired girl with eyes that looks easy to bully, or that young woman with red wine-colored hair, oh my gosh—just thinking about it makes me blush, and my most, most, most, most adorable Euryale, even that BBA, even that BBA..."

"Alright, stop yelling." Oshin was getting annoyed. "It's just a woman, what's so great about women?"

"Instead of spending all my time thinking about women, it's more worthwhile to kill a couple of magical beasts to improve my strength!"

Anne Bernie and Mary Ricky glanced at Blackbeard, then at Ocean.

He silently took two steps closer to Oceanos.

However, Blackbeard still managed to capture him.

He collapsed to the ground in a "orz" gesture, muttering, "Compared to the great hero Oceanus, I've lost..."

Looking at the dejected Blackbeard, Ocean felt a little apologetic.

He patted Blackbeard on the shoulder: "I'll take you to find them, but you have to promise me you'll be positive and optimistic."

Hector stood to one side, clutching his weapon, and shook his head.

Oh, Mr. Oceanos, you seem wonderful in every way—so sunny and powerful, and so incredibly tolerant—but you also seem a bit too naive.

But such a senior figure is not bad either.

As long as it doesn't affect the ultimate goal, it's fine.

“Oshenanos…” Blackbeard was moved.

He stood up, very excited: "Oschenos is right, from today onwards I will definitely become more positive in some ways!"

"Then Oceanos, let's go!"

I'm going to build an even bigger pirate harem!

...This is clearly a misunderstanding.

......

"Do...Doris?" Laurence was immediately shocked and leaned closer in disbelief. "You, you are Doris!? Doris, the goddess from the sea!?"

"Huh?" Doris was startled by the woman with the wine-red hair. "You...you know me?"

“Of course I know! I saw your name when I was studying mythology before I died. I remember you were Oceanus’s mother!” Lawrence’s eyes widened.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's breathing quickened instantly.

“‘When Oceanus was chained to the bottom of the sea by the gods, his mother lay on the shore weeping sadly. To spare his mother from sorrow, Oceanus asked his brother Hermes to transfer his divine status to their mother. After that, Doris, who became a goddess, entered Mount Olympus.’ That’s exactly what the myth says!” Mash murmured, her gaze towards Doris instantly changing.

"Hello, can you hear me?" Roman called out anxiously as the communication was connected. "Ritsuka, Mashu, Lawrence, can you hear me? Please answer if you can!"

"Doctor?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely confused and answered blankly.

"You must remain vigilant! On my radar, there's something with an extremely high energy level—extremely high!—right nearby! Stay alert—"

"Roman!" Lawrence interrupted Roman loudly, "Shut up!"

"Ugh?"

Her gaze remained fixed on the bewildered Doris: "The energy source you spoke of is right in front of us now."

"......well?"

......

Twenty minutes later.

"In short, that's about how it is for now..." The group gathered around a small fire, and Fujimaru Ritsuka said to Doris, who was sitting opposite her.

"You came here to repair this singularity. You encountered an enemy and wanted to seek help. You happened to discover magical reactions on this island, so you came to search for it and eventually met us... Is that right?" Orion was held in Artemis's hands, indicating that she understood Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others' situation.

"Could you repeat the name of the enemy you encountered?" Doris's expression was a mixture of disbelief and joy, which looked rather strange.

Lawrence let out a long breath and looked at Doris: "Your own son, Oceanus."

Two lines of tears rolled down Doris's cheeks.

“Miss Doris…” Mashu felt a pang of sadness as she looked at Doris, who was silently weeping.

"Did he really appear at this singularity?" she asked, as if she were talking to herself.

Ou Shen's image appeared in her mind.

"Ms. Doris? Ms. Doris?" Roman's voice interrupted Doris's thoughts.

"Huh? Huh?"

"Can you tell us about yourself?" Roman asked, somewhat puzzled. "You said you weren't a Servant, but how could someone as legendary as you exist here in a form other than a Servant? And... you're strangely powerful."

"That's a question, because Doris exists here in her true form," Artemis answered Roman's question in a lively tone.

"The main body refers to..." Roman had a terrible guess.

"She is not enthroned on the Throne of Heroes, nor is she an avatar; she stands before you in her true form, the true divine being." Artemis chuckled as she kneaded Orion, ignoring the teddy bear's screams.

"This... how is this possible..." Roman looked at Doris, who was once again lost in her memories, and felt as if his whole world had collapsed.

Gods... shouldn't still be appearing in this world.

Clearly, it is already—

"...In short, now a follower and...a god have temporarily joined our side, right?" Roman's voice sounded somewhat tired.

Although Doris explained that she had never entered Mount Olympus and that she had not entered the inner world for various reasons, only to be awakened after being caught up in the singularity, Roman still found it unbelievable.

Excluding Doris, Chaldea has actually encountered three gods.

Stheno, Euryale, and Artemis, who was summoned in place of Orion's spirit origin, were all downgraded.

However, the combined impact of these three Servants on Roman was not as great as that of Doris.

"If we follow you, we should be able to see that boy Oshin, right?" Doris looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a gaze that Fujimaru Ritsuka dared not meet, as if she were a child afraid of losing her candy.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.

A mother, upon learning of her son's death, then continued this grief for tens of thousands of years...

Fujimaru Ritsuka dared not think about how heavy and repressed the emotions it carried were.

She only knew that the emotion was enough to crush her, enough to destroy her.

Yet the mother before him carried this same burden, protecting that island until now...

But, Doris, Doris the Goddess.

Your son is now our enemy, the enemy of humanity.

This is the truth, yet no one can bring themselves to say it.

but......

If that were the case, Doris's wish would be fulfilled. Fujimaru Ritsuka thought, perhaps... she should take her to find Blackbeard, to meet that... Oceanus. Even if it was an invincible foe, it didn't matter.

Just then...

"Hey, guys—we can already see that island up ahead!" Blackbeard Edward Teach stood at the bow of the ship, laughing wildly.

“That face of his is so punchable, why doesn’t he just die?” Mary Rico looked at Blackbeard standing in front of her with the eyes of someone looking at a rat.

Blackbeard felt like he'd been stabbed in the back.

“You can’t say that, Mary. Look, cockroaches and rats still live in this world.” Anne Bernie said this, but Blackbeard seemed even more hurt.

Hector lay in the hammock behind him, chuckling.

This kind of daily life is really nice.

Oceanus burst into laughter after hearing Mary and Anne's assessment of Blackbeard.

He walked over to the two female pirates, bent down and patted Anne Bernie on the shoulder: "Little girl, calling your captain that is apt, but it's a bit hurtful to her pride."

Blackbeard was on the verge of tears.

Where is the aptness? Shouldn't a handsome, dashing, and masculine man like me be every woman's dream lover?

“Oschenos....." Anne looked at Oschenos, who was very close to her, and swallowed hard as she looked at his overly strong muscles.

No wonder he's the patron saint of pirates; such strength, such spirit...

“Such hurtful things should be said behind someone’s back!” Oceanos said with a chuckle.

Blackbeard was sunk.

He was quite exasperated: "Stop insulting me! We can already see BBA and the others on the beach. Oceanos, I'm counting on you this time!"

“Alright! Leave it to me! At least we need to intimidate him, right?” Oceanus walked up behind Blackbeard with a smile. His massive figure made him look like a giant, exuding power.

And the people still standing on the beach...

"Ritsuka! There's a magical reaction, it's Blackbeard!" Roman quickly alerted.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes instantly turned calm.

"Hey, Bombey—you guys are still invisible, right? Get ready to fire!" Drake shouted toward the open ground.

"Understood, boss. Leave it to us!" Bombey's voice came from the empty space.

"Hahahaha—BBA, I, Blackbeard, am back again!" Blackbeard laughed arrogantly.

"Drake, and those kids, and that Lawrence guy, cough, get ready to fight me—Holy crap!" Ocean's eyes were already shrouded in blue light, and the sea behind him was surging, but—

Suddenly, it froze in place, as if it had gotten stuck.
