Hecate shook her head slightly, and just as Jason felt a slight headache coming on from this.

"But if it's a rose... there's a god who has the power to make it bloom in the underworld for a short period of time."

"Oh?" Jason couldn't help but be delighted and said, "Teacher, who is it?"

"The wife of your other teacher." Hecate looked at Jason with a slightly strange look and said, "The wife of Hephaestus... the goddess of beauty Aphrodite."

After listening to Hecate's words, Jason was slightly stunned and couldn't help but patting his head.

Yes, and there is also the goddess of beauty Aphrodite!

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology. She was born among the waves of the sea and has porcelain-like skin, a perfect figure and appearance.

For example, Apollo, the god of light, is the representative of the perfect man in ancient Greece.

Then the goddess of beauty Aphrodite is the representative of the perfect woman in ancient Greece.

Her beauty was like the shimmering light of day, her cheeks were as rosy as peach blossoms, and her eyes seemed to hold the blue of the sea.

As a result, she became the most beloved goddess among the gods and was pursued by the king of gods Zeus, but the goddess of beauty Aphrodite was not interested in him.

Therefore, when faced with the pursuit of the king of gods Zeus, Aphrodite turned into a female swan to avoid him, but Zeus turned into a gander to chase her.

Aphrodite turned into a female snake, and Zeus turned into a male snake to entangle with her.

But in the end, Zeus still failed to succeed because the jealous Hera intervened in the middle of the process.

However, because of this, the humiliated Zeus finally betrothed the goddess of beauty Aphrodite to the lame god of craftsmen Hephaestus.

The reason why Hecate mentioned the goddess of beauty Aphrodite is very simple, because Aphrodite is the goddess of love, and her beauty even conquers nature.

Flowers bloom wherever she goes, and roses are the most beautiful.

It is for this reason that in ancient Greek mythology, rose is also a symbol of love.

"congratulations."

Just as Jason was realizing what was happening, Hecate suddenly said to him, "Finally, you're going to take action against the last of the gods of Olympus... All the goddesses of Olympus will be spared!"

"Teacher, what are you talking about? I never did anything to them..."

"Come on," Hecate said to Jason in a bad mood, "Tell me, among the goddesses of Olympus, besides Aphrodite, who else you haven't slept with?"

"Um... Diva Hera!"

Hecate looked speechlessly at Jason who had answered her question. Even Cerberus beside her looked at Jason with contempt.

Seeing this, Jason also felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem... Um, teacher, please don't say that, okay? The goddesses are just being kind and letting me sleep. And if you want to say that, I've slept with you before, and more than once..."

Chapter 4.5: Athena's Conspiracy, Jason, You Are Mine! (k)

As soon as Jason finished speaking, the entire temple fell silent.

Cerberus, who was biting a honey cake on the side, opened his eyes wide and looked at Jason with an expression as if he was a stunned dog.

But what shocked Cerberus even more was yet to come.

That is, Hecate did not respond much to Jason's shocking remarks. She just gave Jason a blank look.

After pinching Jason's face in annoyance, she let him go.

This is also the reason why Jason dared to joke with Hecate like this... To be precise, he would only say this to Hecate.

When facing Hecate, there is really no need to be overly respectful, nor to worry about whether your unintentional words will cause disgust from this god.

Because Hecate would be pleased with the complicated rituals and cautious offerings to the gods, because she would find it very troublesome.

You know, when they first met, Hecate once gave Jason the feeling that she was an unreliable god.

Well, there is of course a special condition added to this, that is, the person must be recognized by her and be her student.

If you replace someone else with someone who dares to say this to Hecate and be so disrespectful to the goddess, then even the king of gods Zeus would not be able to save him.

"Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty... If what you said is true, teacher, then I really must go meet her."

"It's not just about meeting her."

Hecate said to Jason calmly, "If you really plan to bring Aphrodite down, you'll be busy later."

"Hmm?" Jason looked at Hecate in confusion.

"Aphrodite does have the power to briefly bloom roses, the symbol of love, in the underworld, but she must be present... In other words, you must grant her the right to enter and exit the underworld."

"Is that so... Hey, teacher, what are the conditions for entering and exiting the underworld?" Jason asked Hecate curiously.

He also realized this suddenly.

Gods cannot easily enter and exit the underworld, not even the king of gods Zeus can do that.

Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, was also angry about this. She originally thought that she would never be able to see Persephone again, but fortunately Jason mediated.

And the God King Zeus was also well prepared.

But Hermes, the messenger of the gods, can, and sometimes he even brings some dead souls into the underworld.

And not only Hermes, Hecate can also...

Isn’t this a bit strange?

"As a god, if you want to freely enter and exit the underworld, you need the consent of at least two great gods and numerous underworld gods."

Hecate did not hide this and said, "Hades, the god of the underworld, and Erebus, the primordial god of darkness... The most important thing is Erebus's consent. After all, Hades, the god of the underworld, will definitely not refuse you.

The god Erebus is the one who separates the underworld and the human world.

You look up at the sky above the underworld, and the endless darkness is the body of the god Erebus.

Therefore, whoever enters the underworld must first pass through his body!"

The five original gods are the most powerful ancient gods in Greek mythology, except for Chaos, the god of chaos who created the world.

They are Tartarus, the god of the abyss who represents the endless abyss.

The goddess of the earth, the mother of all things, the original god of the earth - Gaia.

The god of darkness, the embodiment and essence of darkness - Erebus.

The goddess of night, the embodiment and essence of night - Nyx.

Eros, the embodiment of all love.

Of the five original gods, three occupy the underworld, namely the God of the Abyss, the Goddess of Night, and the God of Darkness.

This is also the reason why the gods dare not act recklessly in the underworld. Even the king of gods Zeus must abide by the rules of the underworld. Even if he knows that Typhon is hiding in the underworld, in the endless abyss, he can only let Him go.

Hearing Teacher Hecate's words, Jason nodded thoughtfully when Hecate said, "Hades, the god of the underworld, and the other gods of the underworld, you can handle it yourself. As for Erebus, I can take you there.

Lady Nyx, the Night Goddess, is his sister, and I have a very good relationship with her. I think for my sake, he should help me."

In fact, Nyx, the goddess of night, not only has a good relationship with Hecate, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is Hecate's backer.

When Hecate was invited to Mount Olympus because of the divine thunder incident, the goddess of night Nyx appeared before Zeus that night.

After Hecate finished speaking, Jason couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at Hecate with some surprise.

"Why, you don't want to?" Hecate raised her eyebrows slightly.

"No, no...it's that Hecate teacher. If you encounter something like this normally, shouldn't you just throw me out?"

Jason asked cautiously.

In fact, this is true. Hecate, who is afraid of trouble, usually throws Jason away and lets him deal with things on his own without bothering her.

However, although that is what she said, Hecate has basically come forward to help Jason solve all the big and small problems.

Think about the time when tribute was offered to Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and what happened to Hephaestus later, the snake demon Lamia, as well as Typhon, the god of war Ares, and the god of light Apollo.

Hecate has never failed to appear.

Hecate is a god who would come out to take a closer look when the world is destroyed, but for Jason, she appears again and again.

If it weren't for this, Jason wouldn't have gradually come to trust Hecate unconditionally, and even regard her as the closest person to him in the world.

"If I don't go, you're going to go find Athena, right?"

Hecate looked at Jason and said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Jason's expression froze.

Just when he thought Hecate was jealous because he was close to other goddesses, just like what happened with Hephaestus...

"Actually, I don't care who you ask for help, but...if I hadn't taken care of you, you'd probably have been tricked by Athena, you foolish apprentice!"

As she said that, Hecate pinched Jason's face twice, and this time it really made Jason feel a little painful.

"Teacher, look at what you said. Although I have a good relationship with Goddess Athena, I will definitely not leave you..."

Jason covered his face, protesting while expressing his unwavering belief!

"I don't think so." Hecate rolled her eyes. "Ask yourself, when you encountered a problem just now, was Athena the first person you thought of? ...Yes, right?"

Jason opened his mouth, but found that he really couldn't refute it.

He had just been thinking about how to find Athena and ask her for help...

Ok?

Jason thought about it and suddenly tilted his head.

Then Jason blinked and was suddenly startled!

Because who is he? He is Jason.

Besides Hecate, there is now Hephaestus. In fact, no matter which god it is, Jason doesn't want to meet him at all!

Although it is true that Athena has a good relationship with him, you have to know that Athena is also a goddess who is a hundred times more troublesome than ordinary gods!

How could he possibly think of asking Athena for help first!

"When you first met Athena, I warned you that she had you completely targeted... Do you think Athena would know how to write the word 'give up'... She probably doesn't even know what giving up means."

Hecate said calmly to Jason, who had just come to his senses, “However, your repeated refusals have made Athena realize that you will not leave me on your own initiative.

So she chose another way, which is..."

"Let me become hers... and be unable to leave her." Jason said softly.

At this moment, Jason remembered what Athena whispered in his ear when he left the Temple of Hera some time ago.

Athena was saying at that time that if she worked harder, she would be able to make Jason hers...

"Indeed, it seems you are not beyond redemption yet." Seeing Jason's reaction, Hecate raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "She had actually been planning to do this since the moment you came out of the mountains and found her.

Athena is an absolutely wise goddess. She knows what to do to subtly turn you into hers without causing your disgust or attention.

Even if you realize it now, it is difficult to get rid of her.

Because what she does is exactly what you expect her to do.

That is, as the goddess of wisdom, she uses her wisdom to pave the way forward for you.

But at the same time, she has also planted her presence in your life.

Bit by bit, she eats away at you, swallowing you up, making you gradually... unable to leave her side!"

As Hecate spoke, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she showed Jason a beautiful smile.

Jason couldn't help but shudder.

Because he realized that Hecate was telling the truth, he now had such a shadow. Whenever he encountered problems, he would subconsciously seek help from Athena.

If this continues, it seems like he...will really be "eaten" by Athena!

"I told you this three years ago, my lovely apprentice."

Hecate observed Jason's panic and smiled, saying, "You've been targeted by the most troublesome god of Olympus... Now, do you understand what I mean?"
