Then, this goddess, who represented absolute justice and was unsmiling, calmly said to Jason, "The child of Hecate, the goddess of roads."
"...Respected Goddess Themis, do you know me?"
"I know." Themis nodded gently and said calmly, "I have always seen what you did to Lamia... Rhea went to see you because of me."
Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then at this moment, Themis gently raised her left hand, and a holy balance scale appeared in her left hand.
"I have witnessed your judgment when dealing with Lamia and the God King Zeus. I have also seen your actions when facing Sisyphus, who was punished by the gods. Therefore, I have decided to hand it over to you for the time being."
Themis said as she handed the holy scales in her hand to Jason who was a little confused.
At this moment, not only Jason was a little confused, even Hermes who was watching from the side was a little confused.
"Jason, you deceived Hera, the Queen of the Gods, with a white lie... Although this was agreed upon by the gods, it was clearly unfair to Hera."
Knowing Jason's doubts, Themis calmly continued, "So now I give you this thing that can measure all things in the world... Jason, I will examine your answer. This is my test of you."
"Assessment?"
Jason and Hermes spoke at the same time.
"If you want to become an immortal god, you must first find a place to be a god."
Themis said to Jason calmly: "Jason, there is no place for you among the gods in this sky..."
"There are actually many vacancies in the throne of God." Hermes couldn't help but reply.
Themis tilted her head, her eyes covered by white cloth looking at Hermes.
Hermes shrank his head, smiled awkwardly, and retreated.
"Yes, there are many vacancies in the Olympian throne, but none of them belong to you, Jason."
"Because... you are the successor I chose."
Jason's eyes widened slightly.
Hermes, who was standing by, was also completely shocked at this moment.
"So until I give you up, you can't inherit any throne... Now, are you going to take over the scales?"
"...Great goddess Themis, I don't think I am qualified for your position..." Jason said with unusual honesty.
This is so inappropriate...
"Whether you are competent or not, I will give you a fair evaluation based on your actions." Themis interrupted Jason calmly.
"Now you just need to tell me whether you can accept this balance."
"...Goddess Themis, I think you are destined to be disappointed." Jason was silent for a while, then reached out to catch the holy scales.
After all, Jason had no reason to refuse.
Although it is true that this is a very troublesome thing.
But it is also a guarantee... Since Jason has become a candidate for the throne of Themis, then Themis, who is testing him, will undoubtedly become his protector!
And by the side, Hermes' reaction.
What a transcendent god Themis was, it has been fully demonstrated without a doubt.
Therefore, although Jason believed that this position was absolutely not suitable for him, he took into account that Themis pointed out the relationship between him and Queen Hera.
Obviously, it would be more profitable to agree to become a candidate now!
"I won't be disappointed, because in my eyes, there are only two results: suitable and unsuitable." Themis said lightly.
At the same time as she spoke, the holy scales emitted a dazzling white light and eventually turned into a mark, engraved on the back of Jason's left hand.
After the mark appeared on the back of Jason's left hand, this serious goddess looked at Hermes in disbelief.
Revealed, a faint chuckle.
"My child, remember, you are my only heir until I make the final decision, so..."
A smile flashed across Themis' face before she continued, "Before I make my final judgment, you must not touch any other divine position besides mine...even the Dark Night Priesthood of Nyx, the Goddess of Night."
Hmm...how do you know that Goddess Nyx said she wanted to pass her throne to me?
Wait, you didn't rush over to mark me because of this?!
Jason felt something was wrong in his heart. He felt as if he had accidentally fallen into a pit...
But no matter what Jason was thinking now, after doing all this, the blindfolded goddess turned around and disappeared into the temple.
"The goddess Themis's ministry... Jason, you're in big trouble."
This is the throne of the goddess Themis, who represents absolute justice.
And the throne of this god has the power to bind even the gods!
The scales in her left hand have the ability to measure everything in the world.
The sword in her right hand can cut off all injustice and evil.
Even if a god does something unfair, as long as it is judged by the scales in Themis's hand, her sword can kill it!
Why would such a great god choose Jason as his successor? In fact, not only Jason couldn't figure it out, but Hermes couldn't figure it out either.
But in short, things have come to this point, and Themis has left a mark on Jason's left hand.
After considering it to no avail, Jason had no choice but to continue walking with Hermes into the depths of the temple to meet the king of gods, Zeus, who sat on the throne of the gods!
Chapter 3.5: Face the God King Zeus! (k)
Silver arcs of electricity swam in the sky above the magnificent temple like thin snakes, and the dazzling lightning was intertwined with waves of destruction.
And under the thunder and lightning, the god sitting on the throne of the king of gods.
The moment Jason came in and cast his gaze upon her, she slowly opened her deep eyes.
Thunder is his symbol, the sky is his reflection, the gods are his subjects, he is none other than Zeus, the king of Olympus and the master of the world today!
Jason, this is the first time I meet him.
A silver-white robe covered his slender figure. Sitting on the magnificent throne, Zeus slowly lowered his head and looked down at Jason who came to pay him homage.
Looking at the shock in Jason's eyes.
That majestic face couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
It was worth it for him to prepare this specially.
"O Jason, the son of Hecate, the goddess of roads, who became the white-clad hero Heracles."
Zeus's majestic voice echoed throughout the temple.
This voice brought Jason back to his senses. As their eyes met, Zeus continued, "What do you want from me this time?"
As he spoke, Zeus' expression gradually became unnatural.
His eyes widened as he looked at Jason with shock.
Because he gradually noticed the mark left by the goddess Themis on Jason's left hand!
"Great and mighty Zeus, it is the honor of my lifetime to meet you."
Jason, having regained his composure, quickly bowed to Zeus and said, "I have come to discuss the wedding of Hades, the god of the underworld, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld."
"......Um."
Zeus maintained his composure and nodded seriously, but he couldn't help but look at Hermes with a questioning look in his eyes.
Hermes gave a wry smile, moved his lips slightly, and began to transmit his voice to explain the whole story to Zeus.
But at this point, Hermes actually had some enlightenment in his heart.
The fact that the second generation Queen of Heaven Rhea would go to see Jason is itself a surprising thing. Even if it is related to the current Queen Hera, it is unlikely that Rhea, a retired god, would show up.
But if it was not Rhea, the second-generation Queen of Heaven, but Themis, who represented absolute justice, who was truly interested in Jason, then everything would make sense.
And when Rhea expressed her intention to meet Jason, she did mention that Themis had taken a great interest in Jason because of the snake demon Lamia. Rhea also noticed this and finally decided to go.
Just considering Jason as the successor...this was indeed beyond the expectations of all the gods.
Just as Zeus learned the whole story through Hermes, his serious expression began to falter.
"Great God King Zeus, this is a wedding invitation."
Jason respectfully took out the pure golden invitation and said to Zeus, "This is the invitation that Lord Hades, the God of the Underworld, specially asked me to bring.
I hope that on the wedding day a week from now, Lord Zeus, the God King, will be able to honor me by attending Hades, the God of the Underworld's wedding."
After he finished speaking, Zeus hummed twice. He was listening to Hermes' explanation.
then......
"Hmm?" Zeus was stunned for a moment, looked at Jason, and said, "What did you just say?"
"I hope that the great God King Zeus will be able to go to the underworld to attend the wedding of Hades, the God of the Underworld, on the wedding day a week later..."
"Me?...Going to the underworld?" Zeus was stunned.
Hermes also looked at Jason with great surprise.
Although he had heard Jason say this before, he didn't expect that Jason actually did it!
"Yes, great God King Zeus... Of course, I also know that because of the rules between the human world and the underworld, even though you, the great God King Zeus, can go anywhere freely, you cannot go to the underworld without a reason.
But please rest assured, great king of gods Zeus, the gods of the underworld and the great primordial gods, the god of darkness Erebus, the goddess of night Nyx, and Lord Tartarus, the god of the abyss, have all agreed.
As long as you hold this invitation, you will be able to go to the underworld on the wedding day."
Jason explained the reason in relatively concise words.
When Zeus finished listening, he looked at Jason in front of him and felt a little confused.
"You...even convinced those three old fogies?"
"Come to think of it, I seem to have heard a similar rumor before." Hermes interrupted, adding, "It's said to have been spread by the Furies... It's said that a mortal entered the endless abyss of Tartarus.
