"Hector!" Ocean's furious voice echoed across the sea, causing the entire surface to churn.
Boom boom—
"Ouch!" Hector had anticipated that Oceanus would catch up quickly, but he hadn't expected him to catch up so fast, and to cause such a huge wave right away.
"What are you thinking, you bastard?!"
boom--
Bang! ! !
As the giant waves collided, Hector gritted his teeth, turned around, grabbed Durandal's gun handle, and placed it against Doris's neck.
Ou Shen and Ju Lang froze instantly.
“Let’s talk this out, senior. I did this for my Master’s mission.” Hector had already pointed the tip of his spear at Doris’s neck, but his face still showed a helpless and casual expression. “Besides, Euryale is really hard to kill. After all, Blackbeard has been making a fuss for so long. Drake and his gang will definitely be on high alert.”
"...I don't care what bullshit reasons you have, let my mother go!" Ou Shen gritted his teeth, the veins on his head bulging, making the burly Ou Shen look extremely ferocious.
But he didn't dare to move at all.
"Please, senior, wouldn't it be better to give the Divine Servant Doris to your junior?" Hector sighed. "That way, we could finish the mission sooner, wouldn't we?"
"Even though I'm just a useless Master, I still have to complete the mission properly, right?"
Ocean looked at Hector, his whole body trembling.
"You son of a bitch—"
"Alright, Oshen, calm down." At this moment, Doris, who was being held hostage, spoke up with a smile.
"Mom?" Oshin looked at Doris, his eyes involuntarily welling up with tears. "Don't move, I'll definitely save you. It's okay, I'll definitely save you!"
"Don't worry, child." Doris grabbed Durandal's gun tip, still smiling. "I'll be fine."
“I advise you to keep quiet, Doris.” Hector said, sounding rather helpless. “At least be a hostage. I just want to finish my mission quickly, please help me out.”
"You're so naive, all you're thinking about is completing the mission?" Doris couldn't help but chuckle.
“Otherwise, I can only rest after completing the mission. I, too, want to rest as soon as possible,” Hector said with a smile. “So, would you be willing to cooperate with me for a little while?”
“While I can understand you, reuniting with your son is definitely more important,” Doris said.
"Huh? What?" Hector thought he had misheard.
Doris's fingers were enveloped by a stream of water, which gently pressed against the tip of Durandal's gun, pushing Durandal away.
"Wh-what?" Hector tried to push it back forcefully in disbelief, but—
No way! Doris's power is far greater than he imagined!
“Your name is Hector, right? It’s very rude of you to call yourself ‘uncle’ in front of me. Don’t forget that next time you see me.” Doris turned around, smiling at Hector. “I think you’ve misunderstood two things, which is why you’re thinking of abandoning the original plan to capture Euryale and instead trying to capture me.”
Hector stared blankly at Doris, who had broken free of his restraints and instead used the ocean currents to bind him, speechless.
"First, what Ou Shen entrusted to me was not simply a divine core, but the belief in protecting my homeland and my family, which is not as simple as filial piety."
"Secondly, I am not the 'weak divine servant' you describe; in fact, I am not a servant at all."
“...You, you wouldn’t…” Hector’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“I have just awakened from my slumber and am not aware of how the outside world describes me, but I can guess that there are probably very few records about me.” Doris sat on the water and waved to Ocean. “I don’t know much about Servants, but their strength and fame in life should be taken into account.”
"So, you've mistaken me for a relatively weak divine servant, like Euryale, right? After all, gods can't be summoned as servants these days, unless it's a demotion summon." Doris shook her head with a smile. "That's probably the only thing you've miscalculated."
Hector nodded with a wry smile: "I never expected this, I never expected this..."
"Well then, goodbye."
Centered on Hector, a small, tornado-like object appeared and engulfed him.
Hector didn't struggle; instead, he felt somewhat relieved: "Well, let's just consider this a rest."
Then, amidst the churning of the waterspout, it transformed into a ray of golden light.
Ocean, carried by the waves, slowly landed beside Doris.
Doris looked at the young man tenderly: "What's wrong? You're willing to see your mother this time?"
“Mom…” Oshin knelt on the waves in front of Doris, tears streaming down his face, staring blankly at Doris.
Doris was also shedding tears.
She gently embraced Ou Shen's large head and slowly stroked the back of his head, which was a little prickly: "Son... Mom misses you so much."
"Mom, I'm sorry I couldn't come back that time... I'm so sorry..."
Ou Shen choked up as he spoke, his tears falling into the seawater and merging with the ocean.
Doris is a living goddess, a deity who has lived for thousands of years.
Ocean couldn't imagine how strong Doris was to have persevered for tens of thousands of years in protecting that island, but he understood the weight of that burden and the loneliness it brought.
These shackles were imposed on Doris by Ocean himself.
“It’s alright, I heard about it from your cousin Hermes, I heard about it…” Doris closed her eyes and patted Ocean’s head. “It’s all in the past. Mom’s here this time, it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright…”
"For tens of thousands of years, I have been imagining being able to touch your head again, just like when you were a child, touching your prickly head."
"Oshin, son, Mommy misses you so much..."

Chapter 668 Medea's Strange Phenomenon
"Mom, have you really been guarding our island for tens of thousands of years, right up until now?" Oshen knelt in front of Doris, looking at his familiar mother, still feeling somewhat surreal and unreal.
Doris's gaze remained fixed on her son, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
She nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, Mom." Ou Shen lowered his head in remorse.
"What's there to apologize for?" Doris chuckled and scolded. "This was Mom's own choice. You just gave Mom a choice, didn't you?"
"It's so good to see you again. I used to have thoughts of not wanting to live anymore, but now I feel so glad to be alive." Doris placed her hand on Oshin's big head and rubbed it while laughing. "Even though you're a Servant now, the feel of your hair is still the same as before."
Oshin didn't speak, but just knelt there quietly, letting Doris stroke his head.
"Did it hurt in that final battle?" Doris suddenly asked.
Ou Shen nodded: "It hurts, it's hurted more than ever before."
“But I did it.” Oshin’s face broke into an excited smile. “I made that bastard feel even more pain!”
"Moreover, we fought together; the five of us... killed Poseidon together."
"Oh, right, Mom! You know what?! When I was just summoned to this singularity, that bastard of a sea monster showed up again and started causing trouble, but as soon as his presence appeared, I..."
Doris watched as the young man excitedly recounted his experience of being summoned to this singularity, her mind filled with a sense of nostalgia. It was as if she had returned to more than ten thousand years ago, to the beach on that small island, where this strong boy knelt before her, excitedly telling her that he had hunted a Scylla in the sea.
Ocean was telling Doris that he had been summoned by a junior who admired him, and that he had come to Blackbeard's place with a mission, hoping to force out the hidden being by advancing the mission.
Doris frowned slightly: "So, you mean there are other people behind your current Master, that young man named Jason?"
Ou Shen nodded, then shook his head: "Yes and no."
“Based on my observations, I can clearly sense that Jason is unaware of many things. Perhaps some kind of magic is at work, or perhaps he summoned me, or perhaps another demigod named Hercules has made him too excited to notice many details. But this matter is definitely not that simple.” When it came to business, Ocean became serious.
"Jason's other follower is suspicious. Her name is Medea, and she claims to be Jason's wife. She acts like a wife in her daily life, but..."
"What's wrong?" Doris asked, somewhat curious.
“There are three strange things.” Oshin casually scooped up some seawater and let it float around his body. “First, although she claimed to be Jason’s wife, and Jason also admitted that they were husband and wife during their lifetimes, I always felt that Jason was very afraid of her. It wasn’t the kind of active fear, but the kind of deep-seated, soul-deep fear that was unforgettable.
"Secondly, she is very humble and can basically be called a perfect wife. However, this 'perfect wife' has been subtly influencing Jason's thoughts under my nose. When Jason summoned me, Jason's wish was 'to obtain his own kingdom,' but now it has become 'to obtain a perfect kingdom where everyone is equal.' I don't know if this change is good or bad, but it is definitely not normal."
"The third point is quite obvious: she likes to be alone and enjoys taking short naps."
"Considering all these points, and the very strange atmosphere I sensed at sea, I deduce that there is a mastermind behind this, and it is very likely the mastermind that caused this singularity to occur."
"I don't know who they are or what their purpose is; all I know is that they absolutely exist."
Doris nodded: "Let me tell you what I know about this."
Ou Shen nodded.
While the mother and son were talking, on the other side, aboard the Argo, which was pursuing David and Atalanta,...
"Huh?" Jason was stunned for a moment.
"What is it, Lord Jason?" Medea asked respectfully, standing beside him with a smile.
"...Hector's contract has disappeared." Jason frowned.
"Huh? The contract... disappeared? Did it leave the scene?" Medea was stunned and tilted her head to ask.
Jason frowned and subconsciously took a step back: "No, I'm not sure, but it should be..."
He sighed: "What exactly happened on Blackbeard's side? Even the great senior couldn't protect Hector?"
"Could there be a terrifying enemy at work!?"
He was startled by himself.
“Lord Jason, Senior Oceanos can definitely handle things over there. Let’s focus on capturing David and getting the Ark of the Covenant from him.”
A glint of purple light flashed in Jason's eyes, and he nodded: "You're right, the senior can handle any problem!"
"Right now, let's hurry up and capture that bastard King David! Getting the Ark of the Covenant and the perfect kingdom is what I should be doing now!"
......
"So that's how it is. So the world has already fallen into this state..." Ou Shen frowned.
Human reason is burned away, the world is destroyed, and history is burned as fuel...
That's a bit...too scary.
"Yes, that's what Ritsuka and the other kids told me. To be honest, I was even more shocked than you when I first heard the news, since you were at least somewhat prepared."
"Ritsuka? Is she the Master from Drake's ship, the one who tried to save the history of humanity from the fire?" Oshin asked curiously.
“She’s a very good child,” Doris said with a smile. “And she’s very persistent, a bit like you when you were little. I’m considering replacing you with her.”
"Huh? How could this be?" Ou Shen was stunned. "Mom, I'm your own son!"
