Type-Moon Greece, I really don't want to be a hero!

However, Hecate did not expect Typhon to tell Jason this.

Because just as Jason thought at the time, as long as the weapon to kill the gods was created and Jason had it, then whether Jason was willing or not, he would have no choice but to go down the path of destruction.

After being surprised, Hecate remained silent for a while as she looked at Jason in front of her.

"What about you? You actually know about this. What do you think?"

As Hecate spoke, her expression seemed much more relaxed.

During this period of time, Hecate has actually been struggling over whether or not she should tell Jason about this...about the sword that kills gods.

Although Hephaestus said that being favored by the gods would not necessarily bring happiness to Jason.

But killing the gods would not bring happiness to Jason.

Because if Jason really wanted to destroy Olympus, then gods like Artemis, Hestia, and Athena.

And what about Hephaestus?

But it's not a big deal to keep Jason's words a secret.

Therefore, Hecate has actually been worried all the time, but now that Typhon has talked things out, Hecate is naturally relieved.

"Well... Actually, I want to ask you a serious favor, teacher." Jason thought for a moment and looked at Hecate very seriously.

But Hecate rolled her eyes and said, "You want me to erase your memory? ...No way!"

"That's all." Jason shrugged and said helplessly, "Teacher, since I can't delete my memory, what else can I do? ... I can only follow the current steps.

Get stronger, get stronger, and keep getting stronger.

Become immortal, become stronger than anyone else, and only then will I be able to make my own choices, rather than passive choices."

Jason said calmly.

The matter of the God-killing Sword did surprise Jason. After all, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to obtain a terrible weapon that could kill Zeus.

But after being surprised, Jason thought about it and realized that even if he knew all this now and got the God-killing Sword, it seemed useless!

Because even if there are weapons, it doesn't mean that Zeus can be killed.

He is not even an immortal god now. If he goes to find Zeus with the sword of killing gods, he will probably be struck by Zeus's thunder and nothing will be left of him.

You know, although Jason's soul has been strengthened, the divine thunder can still destroy him!

Hecate looked at Jason in front of her. His answer was a little unexpected to her, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.

"...If it were three years ago, I would probably find your words completely incomprehensible, but now..."

Hecate looked at Jason with a complicated expression and said, "I find myself...seeing that I can't see through you any more!"

"But no matter what, I am your most adorable disciple!" Jason said to Hecate with a smile, "Besides, as a man, it's best to remain a little mysterious!"

"The cutest... phew!"

"And a man, you're just a boy now."

"Teacher, that's too much!" Jason looked at Hecate with wide eyes.

"Alright, I don't have time for you." Hecate waved her hand and dismissed him. "Your teacher Hephaestus has come to me several times, asking why I haven't returned yet... Speaking of which, you came to me to ask what kind of tribute I should give to Hephaestus, right? Why didn't you ask me suddenly?"

Although Jason offered his companionship to Hephaestus, it was not a physical object, so Jason needed to offer Hephaestus the first item he had made. Jason came to the underworld this time, actually to ask Hecate about this matter.

I'd like to hear Hecate's opinion.

But halfway through, Jason gave up because...

"Because you suddenly remembered halfway through that you haven't prepared tribute for me yet, so you didn't dare to ask, right?"

Hecate squinted her eyes and looked at Jason who was feeling embarrassed.

"Oh, you are indeed my most adorable disciple!"

"Teacher, it's not that I don't want to prepare a tribute for you. It's just that... I really don't know what to give you, teacher."

Jason, easily seen through by Hecate, was helpless and could only reply honestly: "Because I feel that you are not interested in anything else...How about I offer myself to you, teacher?"

Hearing this, Hecate looked at Jason who was looking at her expectantly.

Hecate, with a dark face, was too lazy to say anything.

With a wave of his hand, the dark butterfly of the underworld trapped Jason.

The next second, Jason was kicked out of the underworld by Hecate and returned to the temple of Hephaestus.

"Ah, it seems like I'm being disliked... Never mind, it's not the first day that the teacher has been saying one thing and thinking another. I have time to slowly waste time with her!

Come to think of it, have I forgotten something all this time?... It seems like the Grim Reaper asked me to deliver a message to the teacher.

Forget it, I’ll talk about it next time I think of it.”

Muttering to himself, Jason found a place to sit down and began to daydream.

Thinking back on the experiences of the past two days, Jason himself felt that it was a bit unreal.

"The God-killing Sword... This thing is really bad. Should I find a way out for myself? If they really find out, then I'm done... And it requires the blood of the goddess Athena, which means that the goddess Athena will definitely know... Oh, what a hassle."

Thinking about all this, Jason couldn't help but sigh.

However, Jason did not remain depressed for long. As he had just said, even if he knew all this now, it would be of no use.

What should be done must be done.

And now Jason is not completely without a way out... Although the three black chess pieces given by Tartarus, the god of the abyss, cannot be used to imprison Zeus and others, think about it the other way around.

To imprison Jason himself?

When the time comes, when he goes to the endless abyss, even Zeus will be unable to do anything to him, after all, Zeus's father is also in the abyss.

"Forget it, I won't think about it too much. There's no point in thinking too much. There are only two things I need to do right now.

First, prepare the things that Hades' brother-in-law will use for his wedding... These are not difficult to solve, if Teacher Hephaestus is still willing to help me.

So I need to do the second thing first... What kind of thing should I create to give to Teacher Hephaestus?"

Jason's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.

And at this moment...

"Jason, what are you doing?...Since you're back, why didn't you inform me, the teacher?"

Following the whispers in his ear, Hephaestus, who was driving the wheelchair immediately, appeared in front of Jason after noticing Jason's return.

Jason raised his head and looked at Hephaestus who was slowly approaching him. Looking at Hephaestus, who was wearing a black mask on half of his face and the other half had the face of a goddess, Jason couldn't help but fall silent.

In fact, Jason was not completely without direction... He had long thought seriously about what he should build for Hephaestus.

only......

Jason hesitated, but he still smiled and greeted Hephaestus.

Then the two of them came to the temple hall. Jason told Hephaestus what he had done and where he had been in the past two days, while observing Hephaestus, struggling in his heart about whether he should do that.

After some time has passed...

"Child, do you have anything to say to me?"

Because Jason looked at him repeatedly, Hephaestus realized that something was wrong with Jason, so he asked Jason to sit in front of him and asked him in confusion.

"...Yes, Mr. Hephaestus, but I don't know if I should be so presumptuous as to say it."

"It's okay, go ahead, child." Hephaestus smiled softly and said, "You are my student. You can ask me anything, and I will accept it."

"Is that so...? Well, please forgive me, Mr. Hephaestus!"

Hearing this, Jason was somewhat moved. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, looked at Hephaestus in front of him, and said, "Then Mr. Hephaestus, may I ask... can I see your true face?

Can you take off your mask so I can see it?"

Chapter 3.5 Jason, Am I Beautiful? (k)

Can you take off your mask so I can see it?

This request is more than presumptuous.

Hephaestus' expression froze.

Since she wore this half of the mask, it meant that Hephaestus did not want others to see the other half of his face.

Then when Hephaestus came to her senses and looked at Jason, she saw Jason with his head lowered, waiting to be scolded...

Seeing this, Hephaestus, whose mood had become complicated and brows were slightly furrowed, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually softened.

Yes, Jason is not an unreasonable child.

"Can you tell me your reason?" Hephaestus calmed down and asked Jason.

Hearing this, Jason looked up at Hephaestus in surprise.

He originally thought that he would be greeted with an angry scolding from the teacher.

"Teacher Hephaestus, I hope to be able to offer you a tribute that you would like... For this reason, I have thought very hard about what I should offer you."

Jason hesitated for a moment, then said to Hephaestus seriously, "You are the greatest god of craftsmen. Your dexterous hands can create anything in the world.

I am just an ordinary person. There is absolutely no way that what I can create can compare to what you, Teacher, can do. This is what worries me the most!"

Hephaestus listened to Jason quietly, and a relieved smile appeared on her face, because she sensed Jason's sincerity from his words.

"You don't have to worry about it." Then Hephaestus said, "I like everything you make..."

"No, that won't work, Mr. Hephaestus!"

Unexpectedly, Jason interrupted Hephaestus, who was a little surprised, and said seriously, "Because what I offer you must not only please you, teacher, but also be recognized by others!

After all, I am your student, the student of Hephaestus, your great god of craftsmen!"

Jason originally planned to learn from Hephaestus, and then work hard to forge something and present it to Hephaestus.

That way, the mission is accomplished.

But now... Hestia, one of the main gods of Olympus and also one of the three virgin goddesses, made this comment when she first met Jason.

Jason has a pure heart and beautiful eyes.

This is the result of comparing ourselves with the world.

But it is obvious that Jason knew how to write the four words "be grateful and repay kindness".

If we say that Jason became Hephaestus's student at the beginning, it was just to curry favor with him and complete the task of paying tribute to the main god.

So this time when he came back, Hephaestus undoubtedly conquered Jason with his attitude.

Now Jason no longer regards becoming Hephaestus's student as a task, he has regarded Hephaestus as his real teacher.

Teachers like Chiron the Centaur Sage and Hecate the Goddess of Roads.

Therefore, the gift that Jason forged and gave to Hephaestus not only needed to be approved by Hephaestus, but also had to be approved by the other gods.

Because Jason cannot tarnish the name of Hephaestus' apprentice!

Hephaestus stared blankly at Jason who was speaking to her seriously. She naturally understood Jason's thoughts.

Therefore, a warm current slowly flowed through her heart.

She subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but closed it again because she didn't know where to start.

Then, there was a moment of silent silence.

"...I understand." Hephaestus said softly, then reached out and touched the mask on his face with some trembling.

When Hephaestus touched the half black mask, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Then she looked at Jason in front of her again.

The two looked into each other's eyes quietly for a moment.

Hephaestus looked into Jason's pure eyes, then finally reached out and gently took off half of the black mask.

At this point, Hephaestus' true appearance was revealed to Jason.

In the temple, under the illumination of the sacred fire, Jason also deeply engraved the true appearance of Hephaestus in his mind.

A red birthmark like a burn left by fire appeared on the face hidden by the black mask.
