Seeing Jason like this, Hecate recalled the series of consequences after Jason offered tribute to Artemis last time...

"You'd better take it easy."

Hecate couldn't help but said to Jason: "Don't forget, there are still many gods who need to offer tributes to you."

"I know...but I'm still prepared to give it my all."

Jason shook his head at Hecate and said seriously, "After all, my brother-in-law Hades and my sister Persephone have always helped me a lot..."

"What about me?" Hecate asked subconsciously.

"Teacher?" Jason was stunned for a moment, looking at the beautiful goddess in front of him, and then couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, teacher, I heard that Cerberus was imprisoned in the abyss... Is that true?"

Hecate frowned as she looked at Jason who was trying to change the subject. Now she really wanted to move his head away to see what he was thinking.

But he quickly gave up and said, "Yes, because Hades couldn't bear to punish you, he used it as a scapegoat."

"Um...Teacher, do you know how to save it?"

"You want to save it?" Hecate looked at Jason.

"I don't care about it. I'm afraid that after it is released, it will bite me next time it sees me." Jason spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

Besides, this was his fault in the first place.

"Then go find Hades yourself. It's no use looking for me."

"Okay, I'll go look for Brother-in-law Hades later."

Jason nodded, and then the two of them looked at each other in silence for a while.

"...Wait, that's it?"

"Ah?" Jason looked at Hecate in confusion, who was a little surprised.

"Nothing else?" Hecate added.

"Hmm..." Jason thought for a moment, "It seems there's nothing else to do."

"Why do you come to me for such a trivial matter?!" Hecate's face was dark.

"Why can't you come to see the teacher if you have nothing to do?"

Jason replied with a surprised look, then smiled at Hecate and said, "And the main reason I came here is because I missed you, Teacher."

After a period of reunion, Jason left Hecate's temple and went to Hades, the god of the underworld.

Hecate did not follow him and sent Jason away with a sentence saying, "I want to do an experiment."

Accompanied by the Hades butterfly, Jason, dressed in white, arrived safely before Hades, the god of the underworld.

Although Hades is the King of the Underworld and the Lord of the Underworld, he is actually very idle.

Although there are many things happening in the underworld, he is neither the god of death nor the judge. There are special gods working on all the big and small things in the underworld.

Hades, as his name suggests, is merely the master of the underworld.

When Jason met Hades, the god of the underworld, he explained his purpose.

"I've entrusted Cerberus' punishment to the Furies... They carry out almost all punishments, big and small, in the underworld. If you go find them, they'll tell you about Cerberus."

Hades seemed to have known that Jason would come to him for this matter, and he quickly gave an answer.

"I see, I understand, Brother Hades...By the way, Brother Hades, do you have any way to help me cross the River of Pain freely?"

Jason then told Hades what Charon, the ferry god, had said.

Hades thought about this for a while.

"I remember you had a Pegasus, right?"

"Yes." Jason nodded, "It was lent to me by Lord Poseidon and the goddess Hestia."

"wait for me a while."

After saying this, Hades left the temple.

After a while, Hades returned with a black rein in his hand.

"This is the reins of my steed, which I give to you now."

Hades gave Jason the reins and said, "Next time you come to the underworld, put these reins on the Pegasus. It will then be able to enter and exit the underworld freely, and even fly over it."

Jason took the black reins from Hades without hesitation.

After all, this person is now his brother-in-law.

Hades then asked a nymph in his temple to take Jason to the place where the three goddesses of vengeance were.

The three goddesses of vengeance are Alecto - goddess of anxiety, Megera - goddess of jealousy, and Tisiphone - goddess of retribution.

They have wings on their shoulders and they chase murderers (especially those who kill their own blood) across the earth, tormenting their consciences and driving them mad.

In the underworld, they are responsible for punishing the sinful souls.

These three gods could travel between the human world and the underworld, just like Hermes, the messenger of the gods.

They punish all injustices and mistakes, leaving no one behind.

They are angry, ruthless and cruel, using "punishment" as a means of maintaining order.

But at the same time, they were faithful to their mission and maintained the absoluteness of order with their awe-inspiring divinity. They were the gods most feared by the Greeks.

When Jason came to them, before he could say anything to them, they recognized him and knew why he came.

After all, he is a blond and blue-eyed boy dressed in white with a dark butterfly by his side.

This level of recognition is really too high.

"Jason, the son of Hecate, the goddess of roads, comes from the human world. The three-headed dog of hell, Cerberus, whom you are looking for, is not here with us now."

Then the goddess of uneasiness Alecto came out, looked at Jason in front of her, and said, "It is now in the endless abyss, and the great primordial god, Lord Tartarus, the god of the abyss, is waiting for your arrival in the abyss."

When Jason heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"This is your punishment, child of Hecate."

Megera, the goddess of hatred, then came out and said to Jason, "You have disturbed the order of Hell. Even though this was allowed by Hades, the god of the underworld, and you were not the mastermind, you are still a part of the disturbance."

"So you need to go into the endless abyss and take away Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell."

Then the last goddess, Tisiphone, the goddess of alms, came out and said to Jason, "When you bring Cerberus out, we will recognize you... and the gods of the underworld will truly recognize you."

After hearing the words of the three Furies, Jason suddenly understood.

He understood why Hecate and Hades suddenly let him act alone today. Perhaps... they had guessed this situation a long time ago.

And go to the endless abyss where even the concept of time seems to be non-existent, and bring out the three-headed hellhound Cerberus imprisoned there.

This kind of punishment is actually not small.

Because you have to know that in the abyss Tartarus, there are many powerful gods imprisoned, and they will never have the chance to come out. This shows how powerful Tartarus, the god of the abyss, is.

After all, he is one of the five original gods.

Because Hecate's actions were very secretive and few gods knew about the magic spear, naturally no one knew that Jason had actually been to the endless abyss Tartarus under Hecate's leadership.

Hades was able to rest assured, probably because Hecate had secretly told him not to worry.

"I know, the three great goddesses."

Jason came back to his senses, smiled faintly and said to the Furies, "I am willing to accept this punishment."

After saying this, under the surprised gazes of the three goddesses of vengeance, Jason walked into the endless abyss with a calm face and without fear, and was swallowed by it.

"...He just walked in like that?" Tisiphone, the youngest goddess of almsgiving, turned her head and looked at her two sisters in surprise.

Then I found that they were also surprised.

"Should I say that he is worthy of being the most famous child among the gods recently, and is valued by many gods?"

The second sister, the jealous goddess Mecca, said with admiration, "Such courage alone is enough to prove his qualifications!"

"Should we help him?" Tisiphone, the youngest goddess of alms, couldn't help but ask, "If he goes in and can't get out..."

“…Let’s take a look.”

The eldest sister, the goddess of unease, Alecto, finally spoke up, saying, "If he doesn't emerge within a month, we will go in and pray to the God of the Abyss to spare the child... A month's punishment will be sufficient."

Hearing the eldest sister's words, the other two goddesses looked at each other and nodded in agreement with the proposal.

What they didn't know was that just as they finished talking, Jason had just stepped into the endless abyss...

"Here you go again, child of Hecate."

The incarnation of the endless abyss, one of the great primordial gods, the god of the abyss Tartarus transformed into a white-haired old man and came before Jason.

Jason was not surprised by Tartarus's arrival.

After respectfully saluting him, Jason said, "Great primordial god, Lord Tartarus, it's been a long time since we last met. This time I'm here..."

"You came here for that little puppy, right? I know."

After saying this, Tartarus waved his hand lightly.

The next moment, Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, with all three heads in a daze, appeared in front of Jason.

Chapter 3: Offering Tribute to the Abyss! (k)

“Woof woof…Woof!”

Cerberus called out twice in confusion, looked around, and soon his six big eyes locked onto Jason.

"Woof woof, Jason!"

"Jason, why are you here?"

"Jason, Jason, take me out quickly, it's so scary here!"

Cerberus shouted with his eyes wide open, and ran towards Jason.

"Noisy."

But the cries of the three heads obviously annoyed this great primitive god.

So in the next second, Cerberus' body seemed to be stopped in time, maintaining a stiff movement, and stuck in front of Jason.

"As you can see, the child is fine... I can also let you leave with it."

After dealing with Cerberus, the old man looked at Jason with a smile.

"But there's a condition."

"Great primordial god, Tartarus, the god of the abyss, please speak." Jason replied respectfully.

"Offer tribute to me." The words of Tartarus, the god of the abyss, made Jason's eyes widen.

"I know what you've been up to out there. The tributes you've offered to those children are quite interesting... I won't make it difficult for you, child. You just need to offer something that I find interesting."

"Something that would be interesting to you, the great one." Jason frowned slightly and looked at Tartarus.

"Yes." The old man nodded and said to Jason, "Just make it interesting to me... It doesn't matter if it's a story, an object, or even... a piece of music."

Tartarus, the god of the abyss, certainly didn't make things difficult for Jason, because here, he had already made it clear...

He just wanted to hear Jason playing a piece of music.

That day, Jason's harp music resounded throughout the underworld, and Tartarus naturally heard it as well.

And it was obvious that Tartarus had developed a certain interest in that.

"Is there something interesting..."

But it was obvious that Jason did not notice it, because Jason was muttering softly, thinking about Tartarus's identity, the endless time he had, and this empty abyss.

For a moment, Jason unconsciously thought of something else.

I thought of that toy that Jason often saw in novels before he traveled through time, and that the gods in his hometown all liked to play with.

Its name is - Go!
