CK Simulation, Creating the Style of Tsukino Fumi

Looking at Medea, who was clearly unaffected by Cupid and whose mind was obviously quite normal,

Chapter 157

Quinn used his best method for getting closer to women: "By assisting Jason, you are essentially saving Colchis, helping your father, my little princess. Do you know what will happen if Jason can't get the Golden Fleece normally and peacefully?"

"...What happened?"

"War, a war that could destroy Colchis and kill your father and brother."

"Are you threatening me?" Medea's face darkened. "Even if it's you, saying such things is going too far. Athena once told me that you are a great hero, a knowledgeable and reasonable person. Now it seems that the goddess misjudged you. What kind of hero would threaten a defenseless little girl just because he can't achieve his own goals?"

If it were Hercules here, Medea's words would have made him blush with shame. But Quinn is not Hercules. Despite his fame, he has no moral burden. He simply smiles and shakes his head.

"You can take this as a threat, but I'm not threatening you. Even if war breaks out, Rome won't get involved. I'm just giving you advice. Do you know who's on the Agor? Everyone who's on this adventure is an important figure from their respective countries. They won't allow this journey to fail, because they won't allow any stain on their records. Jason must get the Golden Fleece. This isn't just a consensus among the Agor's crew, but also the tacit approval of the Olympian gods."

When you spoke of the Olympian gods, Medea fell silent. In her heart, she seemed to believe your words, for she knew that the Olympian gods were truly capable of such things. If Jason's journey was approved by the gods, they would find ways to assist him, even at the cost of destroying her country.

Seeing Medea waver, you launched a counterattack, truthfully revealing that the Agor was built in accordance with a divine oracle, and that the goddess of harvest had told you that this ship would be used to carry a great voyage.

[Your account is free of lies; you have perfectly recreated the divine oracle that the goddess of harvest brought you from the king of the gods. Although the oracle did not mention anything about the gods assisting Jason in his adventure, considering the current situation and the nature of the gods, Medea's face, which had darkened, began to turn pale and weak. She realized that Colchis had stepped onto the gods' game table.]

The impact of this fact on her far exceeded your half-threatening advice. She never imagined that she, as a student of the Goddess of Magic, would be involved in such a conflict. But she knew that if the journey on the Agor was orchestrated by that God-King, then even if her teacher wanted to protect her and Colchis, he would be powerless to do so.

A deeply hurt Medea bids you farewell, needing some time to give you an answer. You nod and turn to leave, knowing that this young girl needs time to process the path she is about to embark on, and until then, all you need to do is wait.

After you returned to the Agor, Jason immediately inquired about your progress, but before you could answer, Atalanta angrily beat him up. Hercules, helpless, turned away from his self-centered friend. After being thoroughly beaten, Jason finally regained his senses and dared not bother you again.

Meanwhile, you remained calmly aboard the Agor, fishing occasionally and sunbathing on the deck, showing no sense of crisis whatsoever. You knew Medea would come after you because, as long as her mind wasn't interfered with by external forces, she was a remarkably intelligent woman. She understood the principle that to defy fate, one must find allies.

As you expected, about a week later, a person wearing a black cloak appeared before you. You led him into your room, creating a private space just for the two of you. Only then did the person remove his disguise, revealing a pale, listless, and exhausted expression.

“Your Majesty Quinn, I have made up my mind. I will let Jason take the Golden Fleece, but let me make this clear first: I am not helping him, but helping my father and my country. Please promise me that after this matter, you will take me away from Colchis. If my father and brother try to stop you, you must not harm them.”

Chapter 149 Jupiter Will Definitely Kill Me

"You are very perceptive."

Hearing Medea's words, Quinn couldn't help but praise her.

"I agree to your terms. Don't worry, I will protect your father and brother, and your country will not be ruined by this drama of the gods. Rome owes you a favor. I am a man of my word, and I always do what I say."

Quinn's words of comfort improved Medea's mood considerably. This young girl, who had never experienced setbacks, easily trusted Quinn. Her pale and weak complexion returned to a healthy glow, and the pressure that had been building up over this period was relieved at this moment.

Medea began to tell Quinn everything she knew about the dragon. Just like Jason had done with the dragon, Medea proposed that she would make a potion that would put dragons to sleep. If Jason could find a way to get the dragon to drink the potion, he could take the Golden Fleece without any effort. However, only Medea could make this potion, and she needed some time to prepare it.

Since Medea was willing to help, Quinn didn't urge her to speed things up. He started chatting with Medea to ease the princess's recent psychological pressure. After just one night of chatting, Medea's mental state improved greatly, although she still looked a little tired.

So, as dawn broke, seeing Medea almost falling asleep sitting up, Quinn finally stopped trying to get closer to her.

"You should rest for a while. Once you've had a good sleep, I'll take you to meet the other people."

After saying that, Quinn left the room, leaving Medea completely relaxed. However, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw the catgirl leaning against his side, who had been standing there for who knows how long.

When did Atalanta arrive?

Although he didn't speak, Quinn's eyes revealed his confusion.

“That little princess’s stealth skills are terrible. I’ve been listening outside the door for most of the night.” Atalanta saw Quinn’s doubts at a glance and then said something outrageous, “Speaking of which, you don’t want Lady Medusa to know about this, do you? The King of Rome is threatening and bribing a little girl.”

“I don’t remember you being like this before.” Quinn looked speechlessly at Atalanta, who was mimicking him, and couldn’t help but admire her as a good student. Her ability to apply what she had just learned was already 30% of his own. If this were Britain, her threat would be effective, but unfortunately, this was Greece. “If you really want to threaten me, you shouldn’t use Medusa, but Jupiter. Medusa wouldn’t care about these things.”

“Jupiter… let’s forget about it. If she knew what I just said, she’d probably kill me first.”

Recalling her time in the Roman court, the image of the doll that was almost always glued to Quinn's side flashed through her mind, and Atalanta, unusually, showed fear on her face. Having grown up in the Roman court, she had a deep understanding of the royal family's affairs.

Just as Quinn said, given Medusa's personality, even if she knew Quinn was having affairs with other women, as long as Quinn didn't give up on Medusa, she wouldn't be too angry. That's just the kind of person Medusa is; her natural inferiority complex makes her almost devoid of possessiveness towards Quinn. Rather than wanting her lover to always look at her, she values ​​family more. As long as family life is stable, it's acceptable to Medusa. This is also why Atalanta, even after learning that Quinn was married, still couldn't forget her teacher.

But if it were Jupiter... well, let's just say he'd be a truly eccentric, immature, and thirsty individual.

Chapter 158

The child who receives attention, anyone who might threaten Quinn's safety or steal Quinn's attention from her, is likely to be disliked and "punished" by Jupiter.

Atalanta strongly suspected that if Jupiter knew what he had just said, even she, his playmate of nearly ten years, might face Jupiter's retaliation, even if those words were essentially just a joke. In fact, Medea might also be seen as a potential threat by Jupiter and eliminated along with her.

Although Atalanta didn't really want Medea to get close to her teacher, she didn't want to kill her, especially after listening to their conversation all night. She understood Medea's situation to some extent, and to be honest, Atalanta felt sorry for the girl.

"Are you really planning to take her back to Rome?"

"What is the problem?"

"Won't she be seen as a traitor? She's a princess, yet she betrayed her father and brother for the benefit of foreigners, helping them steal her country's national treasure. She might even be called a 'witch'." Atalanta bluntly stated Medea's future fate. After traveling through Greece for many years, she had long seen through the nature of the Greeks and knew what kind of treatment Medea would receive.

However, Quinn refuted Atalanta's claim, saying, "She won't, because I'm here. She'll be abducted. After all, even if she doesn't cooperate, I'll forcibly take her away."

Huh? Atalanta was completely bewildered.

"Since you're my disciple, I'll tell you a secret." Looking at the bewildered Atalanta, Quinn felt it was time to lay his cards on the table with her. "In the future, I may clash with the King of Gods. Therefore, I will not let any capable person go unpunished. I must gather all the talented and heroic people in Greece to have any chance of defeating the King of Gods. Medea is an essential member of my plan."

Your confession has caused Atalanta's brain to malfunction. Even though she has lost her idolized view of the Greek gods, she would never dare to think of going against the King of the Gods, because Zeus is the strongest god in all of Greece. Even if all the other gods were united, they might not be able to defeat him. And you are just a mortal.

However, when you truthfully revealed Hercules' fate, Atalanta fell silent. She understood your thoughts and was deeply moved. No student would dislike a teacher willing to take risks for them, even if the reason for your risks wasn't because of her.

Atalanta has decided to join you and keep your secrets. She has sworn that even if the moon goddess were to inquire, she would not reveal any of your plans.

You don't need Atalanta's oath, but you know that from now on, you have nothing to worry about. All your weaknesses will support your plans. You no longer need to worry about whether your adventurous actions will be opposed by your family and friends. You have become invincible.

[And along with this good news comes a secret that Medea will tell you after she has rested.]

Just as you guessed, Medea does know about the Titans, and unlike Chiron, she doesn't intend to hide it from you.

[You have learned a secret: the Titans sealed in Hell were once the guardians of a portion of the remains of the White Colossus. The White Colossus's bones are stored in Tartarus. Originally, those bones had lost their vitality, but for some unknown reason, recently, with the God of War returning to his peak, the White Colossus has also shown signs of revival.]

Chapter 150 Go home obediently and wait for Mom and Dad to solve the problem.

[You already know the secret of the Titans, and that the Greek gods are preparing their forces to fight against the potentially resurrected white giant. Hercules is their trump card. Having completed the twelve trials, possessing nanomachines, and capable of shedding his mortal body to become a god, he is the best choice in the hearts of the Greek gods, comparable to the chosen one who once defeated the Star Trek Warriors.]

[However, you still don't understand why the gods chose Hercules. In Greece at that time, the trials you completed and the potential your body possessed were far superior to Hercules'. If it was a matter of choosing the gods, you were clearly the more suitable one.]

The gods could have chosen you, already renowned throughout the land, instead of Hercules, who still needed to be sculpted.

[On this point of confusion, there's also the question of why the gods specifically sealed Chiron's mouth to prevent you from knowing the Titans' secrets. You feel as if the gods consider you someone who needs to keep secrets, and they clearly don't want you involved in the war against the Titans.]

However, even if you have a hundred doubts, it won't affect what you're determined to do.

[You plan to kill the Titans in Tartarus before the gods complete the work of art that is Hercules, and before Hercules becomes a god, thus disrupting the gods' plan to let Hercules embark on his destined destiny. Before that, you have already decided to accelerate the adventures of the heroes of Agor.]

The next day, you and Medea completed the potion that could put the dragon to sleep and gave it to Jason. Now that he had a solution, Jason was no longer afraid or discouraged. He immediately set off for the Golden Fleece and, as you instructed, mixed the potion into the pool where the dragon often drank.

Just as in the original myth, the dragon, having drunk a potion laced with sedatives, fell into a deep sleep. But unlike in the original, Jason heeded your advice; he did not kill the unconscious dragon, but instead took the Golden Fleece and delivered it to the King of Colchis.

Seeing Jason obtain his national treasure, the King of Colchis immediately realized it was Medea's doing, as Medea was the only one in the entire kingdom of Colchis who possessed the method to subdue the dragon. He was furious at his daughter's betrayal and wanted to order her arrest, but you intervened. You informed the King of Colchis that you intended to take Medea away and make her your handmaiden, and that the kingdom of Colchis would henceforth be considered a protectorate by Rome.

This blatant deal tempted the King of Colchis, because the Roman declaration of protection offered Colchis far greater benefits than the Golden Fleece and Medea. After much deliberation, he ultimately withdrew his order to arrest Medea, but he still labeled her a traitor for her betrayal.

Medea, heartbroken at being seen as a traitor by her own father, lost her right to return home. Tears streaming down her face, she boarded the Agor. But as the Agor sailed away from Colchis, gazing upon the familiar azure harbor and peaceful fishing boats of her memories, she felt no regret. She knew that the infamy she bore would bring endless prosperity to her homeland.

On the return journey of the Agor, you watched as these heroes encountered many difficulties. However, because Hercules did not disembark this time, almost no problem could stop them. The Agor's adventure was smooth sailing, even unexpectedly so. In less than half a year, the ship arrived at Jason's homeland.

King Iorcas's face turned ashen as he looked at the Golden Fleece presented to him. He wished he could break his promise on the spot and have Jason executed in his own court. However, the Agor, which had returned home with Jason, extinguished his thoughts. The Greeks held trials in high esteem, and Jason had completed his trial. Now, King Iorcas should fulfill his promise. If he broke his promise, then the heroes on the Agor could rightfully storm the court and forcibly reclaim the throne for Jason.

Considering the disparity in strength between Iolcas and the heroes aboard the Agor, the King of Iolcas had no choice but to swallow his pride and concede the throne. Jason's success sent the entire Agor into a frenzy of celebration. The voyage was now over. To commemorate the help his crew had given him, Jason decided to hold a grand feast and publicize this exhilarating journey.

You were also invited to join, but this time you refused. You only asked Jason to arrange a voyage to bring Heracles to the island.

Chapter 159

[Send Atalanta and Medea to Rome, while you yourself have other plans.]

While all of Iolcas was immersed in celebration, you came to the temple of the moon goddess and prayed to her, hoping to once again travel to the moon to see someone who could help you fight against the Greek mechanics. However, this time, in response to your request, the moon goddess only replied with one sentence.

"Don't even think about it." Artemis's voice echoed with resentment in the empty temple. Even though she didn't appear in front of Quinn, Quinn could almost see the moon goddess looking at him with disgust and resentment. "I won't help you this time. The King of Gods has already given the order that your privileges before the gods have been revoked until the Titans are dealt with."

"Why? I haven't finished the doll yet!" Quinn tried to struggle.

“Jupiter has grown up quite well, and she will receive the blessings of all the gods sooner or later. However, the King of Gods has seen everything you have done. He knows the past and the future, and He can see everything that is happening on the Greek continent now. He can see your thoughts. We will not allow you to attempt to challenge the Titans. That is not something you can challenge. You should stay in Rome obediently until we have solved all the problems, like a good child.”

Artemis spoke exceptionally much, and her irritation was evident in her tone.

"We can allow you to use your privileges to benefit Rome, and we can allow you to be the king of kings in Greece, but we cannot allow you to use your life as a bargaining chip, because we all love you. Don't forget our love, child. Go home obediently and wait for us to deal with the enemy."

broken.

Upon hearing this, Quinn felt a sense of foreboding; he finally understood what was going on.

[The moon goddess's refusal made you understand everything. You know that the Greek mechanics, having regained their power, once again possess the ability to become the patriarch of the Greek family. Zeus, the king of the gods, has rekindled a desire that should not exist in pan-human history. He begins to crave to firmly grasp humanity in his own hands, to decide the future of humanity himself. He will expel any threats that may harm humanity, while simultaneously stifling humanity's ability to develop itself.]

Yes, Zeus is refusing to let humanity control their own destiny; He is trying to perpetuate the age of gods.

Chapter 151 I'm the One Who Deserves Your Trust

Rome.

Jupiter stared at Quinn standing in front of her, her empty mind seemingly filled with the shimmering of the universe. She remained stunned for a full half minute before she came to her senses and understood what her creator had said.

"Can I go to the moon?"

Quinn nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.

After ending his conversation with the moon goddess, Quinn realized that no of the major gods in Greece would help him anymore. The Olympian gods, who had regained their power, all had their own agendas. Some, like Zeus, wanted to continue the Age of Gods, while others wanted to reject it. But there was one thing that these gods all agreed on.

That is, never let yourself get involved in the conflicts between the gods.

This favor from the Greek gods has made Quinn's progress extremely difficult, but fortunately, he still has another option. If there is anyone in modern Greece besides the moon goddess who could send him to the moon to seek help from beyond Earth, it would only be Jupiter.

Now possessing the favor of eleven major gods, she is undoubtedly the most powerful god in Greece besides Zeus. As the creator of this most powerful god, Quinn holds a far higher place in Jupiter's heart than any other being. Quinn believes that she will not be interfered with by Zeus and will not refuse to provide him with assistance.

"...I think it should be possible?" Jupiter hesitated. "I don't know if I can do it. Theoretically, I should be able to, but... before you came back, Dione told me privately that if you asked me to take you to the moon, I should refuse. She said it would be difficult for me to do that right now."

I knew it.

Quinn was not surprised by Jupiter's words. After all, a certain god-king had warned the other Greek gods to refuse their requests for help, and Jupiter would naturally be taken into consideration as well.

Quinn scrutinized Jupiter's hesitant face. This was the first time Jupiter had shown such helplessness. Since birth, she had possessed immense power and near-omniscient innate wisdom. She could easily understand all the changes and phenomena on the earth's surface and learn all the knowledge she was taught by analogy. Yet now, she hesitated.

Fear and dread were clearly visible on her face. Jupiter was afraid to show her flaws in front of her, just as a child is unwilling to show their bad side to their parents. Quinn had also shown this expression in front of her parents when she made a mistake.

[Having returned to Rome, you haven't given up on your dream of going to the moon. After settling your disciples and Medea, you immediately seek out Jupiter, the only one who can help you now, to discuss your plans.]

[But for the first time, the usually obedient doll had the thought of refusing you. You know this is because of her nominal foster mother, Dione, interfering with her. But clearly, Dione doesn't know how to raise a child. Her advice to Jupiter only earned her Jupiter's hesitation.]
