"The hundred-headed dragon Ladon..."
Ares' brows furrowed slightly. He looked at the silver-haired, golden-eyed Athena in confusion and said, "You let that kid fight the hundred-headed dragon Ladon?"
"Yes." Athena nodded gently, looked at Ares with a smile, and said, "Is this kind of battle enough to satisfy your tribute requirements?"
Ares, one of the most famous gods in Greek mythology, is the god of war among the twelve Olympian gods!
The son of Zeus, the king of gods, and Hera, the queen of heaven.
Ares is the god of war, mutiny, killing and riot.
He was described as a 'bloodthirsty murderer and conqueror of defended castles'.
He is a symbol of strength and power, and the embodiment of bloodthirsty and bloody human disasters.
Killing and fighting are commonplace for Ares. Wherever there is a fierce battle, he will rush there immediately and start killing without asking any questions.
He is also the enemy of wisdom and the scourge of mankind! ...because Ares is simply too brainless.
Therefore, the tribute offered to Ares is the tribute that best suits his taste, that is, battle... a refreshing and awe-inspiring battle!
No other operations are required, because those operations are redundant for Ares, the God of War!
"...If he could defeat Ladon on his own without the help of gods like Artemis and Apollo, then he would be qualified."
Ares looked at Athena and said, "But are you so confident in that guy? The guy guarding the Golden Apple Sacred Garden is not so easy to deal with!"
"You don't need to worry about that," Athena said calmly. "Besides, the stronger the opponent, the better it is for you, isn't it?"
Ares thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"But on the other hand, if he has fulfilled his tribute to you, shouldn't you offer a corresponding gift?"
"Of course." Ares replied without thinking: "I, the God of War Ares, am not a stingy god!"
"That's good." Athena's lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Let me think... Since Artemis's gift is arrows, then you should give him your Belt of War."
"Okay...wait, what should I give him!" Ares agreed readily, but was stunned after he realized what was going on.
"What?" Athena pressed forward and said, "Artemis gave him arrows, and Apollo is going to give him a bow. Are you planning to give him something worse than them?
Could it be that... as a God of War, you think you are inferior to them?
By the way, I'm going to give him my shield!"
After Athena finished speaking, Ares opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment.
It was impossible for him to admit that he was inferior to Artemis and Apollo, not to mention that Athena also said that she would hand over her shield!
So in the end, Ares had no choice but to agree to the bet.
At this point, the bet between the two was officially established!
And just as the bet was established, Ares left not long ago...
"The arrows of that boy Artemis, the bow of Apollo, and the belt of that boy Ares... Athena, you are not falling in love with little Jason, are you?"
The second-generation queen Rhea suddenly appeared beside Athena and looked at Athena with strange eyes.
The arrow of the moon goddess and the bow of the god of light, when the two are combined into one, it becomes one of the most powerful artifacts in Greece, which is in no way inferior to Zeus' thunder, Poseidon's trident, Hades' helmet and bipedal fork!
This has already been expressed by Hecate and Hermes.
But there is actually another problem.
That is, as a mortal... Even though he has been tempered by the water of the Styx and the fire, how can Jason, who is only such a mortal, draw Apollo's bow and shoot Artemis' arrow without the help of the gods?
Now, Athena has the answer.
That is the Belt of Ares, the God of War!
With this belt, Jason's strength will be no less than that of Hercules, and he will naturally be able to draw Apollo's bow and shoot Artemis' arrows.
"Grandma Rhea, what are you talking about!" Athena said, turning around and intimately holding Rhea's hand.
The lavender dress that Rhea was wearing was woven by Athena, which shows that the two of them actually had a very good relationship.
"How could I say such nonsense?" Rhea patted Athena's head and said with a smile: "Although you usually care about those children, compared with little Jason, it's completely different!
And I've heard that you've tried to get Jason to follow you time and time again, and even secretly went to see Hecate, but she ignored you completely."
"Because Jason is a good boy. Don't you, Grandma Rhea, like him very much now?"
"Yeah...that's true." Rhea nodded without denying it and said with a smile, "After meeting him this time, I finally understand why you kids are suddenly so focused on him. He really is special."
"Yeah...it's a pity that Hecate got there first, otherwise!" Athena said, pouting and glaring in the direction Ares left.
Apparently, he holds a grudge against Ares...
To be precise, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to cause trouble for Jason, Athena almost couldn't help but fight with Ares again.
What is not my child...I'm telling you the truth!
"What do you mean by being taken away by Hecate? If I remember correctly, even if Hecate didn't take him away, he would still be Hera's child."
After Rhea finished speaking, she looked at Athena who was looking at her with dissatisfaction, and Rhea couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, go ahead and make a fuss and fight. I won't say anything more. But... can little Jason really defeat the dragon guarding the Sacred Garden of the Golden Apple?"
In response to Rhea's curious question, Athena shook her head and said, "I don't know, because normally speaking... it's almost impossible."
After saying this, Athena continued, under Rhea's slightly surprised gaze, "Although little Jason has grown a lot since three years ago, facing the hundred-headed dragon Ladon... he has almost no chance of winning, without using our power!"
"Oh...so how are you going to help him?"
"I won't take action this time."
To Rhea's surprise, Athena shook her head.
"What, you're not going to do anything?" Rhea looked surprised.
"That's right... Not only am I not taking action, but everyone else must not take action this time, because only in this way can we offer a tribute worthy of Ares!"
Upon hearing this, Rhea frowned.
Athena looked at Rhea like this, thought for a moment, and then said to her, "Grandmother Rhea, do you know how I first met that child?"
"The kid was certainly likable, but if that was all I would not have taken him so seriously... I will never forget that scene."
Athena whispered to Rhea, "When everything became a foregone conclusion, the moment he could no longer avoid it, the temporary light he released..."
Athena was talking about the first time Jason killed someone.
When faced with thieves with nowhere to hide, Jason drew his sword and killed them all. After killing them all, he ran aside and vomited because of his first murder...
It was at that time that Athena was deeply attracted to Jason.
"Grandma Rhea has been through this, and I think you're well aware of it, right? ...That child always gives us different surprises."
Athena smiled and said to Rhea, "So he will defeat the hundred-headed dragon Ladon... We just have to watch."
Athena obviously has full confidence in Jason.
But if Jason were here, he would probably say to Athena with a tearful expression, "Thank you so much, Athena!"
......
......
The next day, Jason looked at Hermes, the messenger of the gods, with disgust.
And from his mouth, a new oracle was obtained.
That is to find the Holy Garden of the Golden Apple within a week, go there and obtain the golden apple.
And without the help of Apollo, Artemis and other gods, he personally defeated Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon guarding the Golden Apple Sacred Garden.
Pay tribute to Ares, the god of war and one of the twelve Olympian gods!

PS: First chapter today.
Chapter 3: Ares was fooled! (k)
Pay tribute to Ares, the god of war...
Get the golden apple and defeat the guardian of the sacred garden of the golden apple, the hundred-headed dragon Ladon?
When Jason received this news from Hermes, the messenger of the gods, he naturally frowned.
Especially when he learned that Athena and other gods would not help this time, and even forbade the use of weapons given by the gods, Jason became even more silent.
"...I understand. Thank you for passing it on to Hermes-sama."
Jason then responded calmly, and after a slight pause, he asked Hermes, "By the way, Master Hermes, I wonder about Master Apollo..."
"Don't worry, he already knows."
"Really? That's good." Jason nodded.
Then, after Hermes left, the golden-horned deer looked at the silent Jason, who was lost in thought, and rubbed against Jason with a soft call.
Jason came back to his senses, smiled and touched the golden-horned deer, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something... The gods will not provide any help to Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon guarding the golden apples this time..."
Jason muttered softly, his expression appearing calm.
Didn't he know what a terrifying monster the hundred-headed dragon Ladon was? ... Jason didn't recognize him, but since he was a tribute to the god of war, Ares, he was obviously no ordinary character.
It is even very likely that he is no weaker than Argus, the hundred-eyed giant who guarded Io and offered tribute to Hermes, the messenger of the gods!
So while thinking, Jason took out the staff.
After looking at the staff in his hand for a while, he put it away.
After taking out the direction guide given by Athena and confirming that the artifact could still be used, Jason seemed to relax a little.
"Sister Lu, can you do me a favor? ... Please take me to my teacher, the Centaur Sage Chiron, as quickly as you can, okay?"
The golden-horned deer nodded to Jason, asked him to sit steadily, grabbed its neck, and then started running.
Jason did not know how far the journey was, but after a day and a night, he arrived at Chiron's cave.
Chiron, who had sensed Jason's presence early on, appeared in front of him as soon as Jason arrived.
