Then Artemis, who was slightly surprised, helped Jason answer his doubts.

That’s right, the god who came here is named Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology, who represents the sun!

Helios is the son of the Titan Hyperion and Theia.

Legend has it that he rides a sun chariot pulled by four fire horses across the sky every day, from east to west, rising in the morning and setting in the evening, bringing light to the world.

In later generations, he is often confused with Apollo, the god of light.

The reason for this situation is that there is such a legend in the stories passed down to later generations.

About a few hundred years later, one day at a meeting of the gods, Zeus asked Apollo what he wanted. Apollo thought of Artemis, who was the goddess of the moon, and replied that he wanted to inherit the position of sun god.

Because Helios had been the sun god for so long that Zeus had forgotten him, he gave this position to Apollo.

It is not clear whether Apollo will inherit the position of Sun God in the future.

However, in today's world, the one who serves as the sun god is indeed the tall and burly Helios in a purple robe.

"Artemis, goddess of the moon, I have come here with a message from the great god-king Zeus," Helios replied to Artemis. "Zeus asked me to tell you that he has something important to tell you. He wants you to return to Mount Olympus immediately."

"Father?" Artemis was stunned. "Now?"

Artemis said, turning back to look at Jason.

"Yes, now... and immediately."

Helios emphasized.

"this......"

Artemis hesitated for a moment, then looked at Helios and said, "Can you wait for me for a moment? I will hide the child first and then go find the Father."

Come on, Goddess Artemis, why don’t you let me go even after all this?

"Goddess Artemis, this is not okay!"

Then, Jason said to Artemis with a serious face: "Since the great Lord Helios has said so, then the great Lord Zeus must have something important that needs you.

You should go see the God King Zeus as soon as possible!"

"I do not!"

Artemis flatly refused, pouting and saying to Jason, "I'll hide you and leave. Otherwise, I'll miss this chance and won't be able to catch you next time!"

At this moment, Jason felt a little desperate.

Goddess Artemis, tell me, what exactly do you like about me? I can change, can't I?!

And Teacher Hecate, have you really abandoned me? If you don't show up, your lovely students might never see you again!

Fortunately, at this time, Helios, whom I met for the first time, was very helpful.

He reached out his hand and stopped Artemis who was about to take Jason away, and said to her with a smile: "Goddess Artemis, no, you cannot take this child away now."

"Why?" Artemis glared at Helios in dissatisfaction and asked, "Is this also an order from the Father?!"

"Hmm... sort of." Helios thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it was the God King Zeus who asked me to find this boy. I need his help with something."

As he spoke, Helios looked up at the direction of the sun in the sky, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Help, help with what?" Artemis looked at Helios puzzledly.

Helios saw that Artemis had an expression that said, "If you don't tell me the reason, I won't let Jason go."

After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, "I have a lovely child named Phaethon. He came to me two days ago and hoped that I would grant him a wish. I agreed without thinking.

It turns out that his wish is to drive my sun chariot alone without the help of the gods, but he is only a human being! "

"Drive your sun chariot?" Artemis was stunned and said in surprise: "And the gods can't help, a human?

Oh my God, the flames of the sun chariot will burn him to ashes. That is simply not something a human can do. How could you agree to it? "

"I also want to regret it." Helios smiled bitterly and said, "But I have already promised my lovely child, and I swore it to the River of Oath in the underworld, so this matter cannot be stopped.

But just when I was completely desperate, the great god Zeus told me that if there was any hero in this world who could save my poor child...”

As he spoke, Helios looked at Jason.

Artemis also looked at Jason at this time.

"Child, are you willing to save me and my poor son?"

Helios looked at Jason with expectant eyes.

Facing Helios's gaze, Jason seemed deeply moved. He showed an extremely serious expression and said to Helios in a firm tone, "Great Apollo God Helios, it is my great honor to be able to help you. In my heart, there is no reason to refuse!

So Lord Helios, don't worry, I, Jason, will take care of this matter!"

Chapter 3: Driving the Sun Chariot! (k)

Jason looked righteous at this moment.

It is my duty to help the gods, and it is none other than me, Jason!

Jason's answer was not a lie, and Jason's soul had been washed by the eternal flame of the Styx and was protected by the power of Hades, the god of the underworld.

Therefore, at this moment, looking at Jason, the moon goddess Artemis and the sun god Helios were all moved.

"Is that so... then forget it."

Artemis let go of Jason with great regret, caressing Jason's face reluctantly, and said, "Next time, little Jason, you have to wait for me. Next time I will come to play with you and hide you."

Facing Artemis who looked regretful, Jason rarely said anything and lowered his head.

There was neither opposition nor agreement.

One of Jason's survival rules is that when facing gods, never make promises easily unless it is necessary!

Because even if it is just a casual remark, the gods are very likely to take it seriously.

God can tell lies, but cannot tell if you are bragging.

Therefore, at this moment, if Jason responded, Artemis would definitely find an opportunity to hide Jason to accompany her.

But if he refuted it, it would obviously anger Artemis.

So the best way is to change the subject, pretend you didn't hear it, etc.

But please note that you must control the degree here.

Otherwise, there is a great possibility that the gods will regard this as arrogance, and in that case the angry gods will still punish you.

Artemis left reluctantly, which made Jason feel relieved.

But Jason did not show it, and respectfully came before the sun god Helios.

After what just happened, Helios, the burly male god, obviously had some feelings for Jason.

Therefore, he took the initiative to restrain his own divine power, so that when Jason came in front of him and looked at him, he no longer felt the scorching heat as if he was looking directly at the sun.

"Great Sun God Helios, may I follow you now?"

"Hmm." Helios nodded gently. Seeing a hint of hesitation on Jason's face, he asked with concern, "Is there anything else you need to do, son? Tomorrow is the day I agreed to meet with my child Phaethon."

"Yes, great Lord Helios, I actually have a younger sister. Her name is Medea. When the moon goddess Artemis came to see me yesterday, Pegasus took her away temporarily and did not return all night.

I'm worried about her safety, so if possible, I want to get her settled first."

"If that's the case, kid, you don't need to worry."

Helios smiled and said, "Because at dawn, when I was riding my sun chariot to illuminate the world, I saw Hecate, the goddess of roads, and had a brief conversation with her.

It was she who pointed out your location and has already taken the Pegasus and my granddaughter to the underworld to wait for you."

"...Granddaughter?" Jason was stunned.

"Aeetes, King of Colchis, is also my child." Helios looked at Jason before him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "And he is none other than Medea's father! ... You and my granddaughter are actually siblings. Not bad, not bad, my child, I recognize you!"

At this moment, Jason looked genuinely stunned.

He stared at the burly man Helios in front of him with wide eyes.

And after the shock...

Teacher Hecate, you really did it on purpose. You took Medea away and didn't even bother to care about me!

A feeling of resentment began to linger in Jason's heart.

As for the fact that Helios was Medea's grandfather, Jason was surprised, but he always knew that Medea was not a human being and was closer to a nymph.

Jason quickly accepted this identity.

only......

Now that I am Medea's brother, what should I call him?

Jason always felt that the relationships around him were becoming more and more chaotic. He looked at the sun god Helios in front of him with a slight headache.

Helios, who was very satisfied with Jason, took Jason directly to the sun chariot that was waiting for Helios.

What awaited Jason next was the story of the young man named Phaethon and the sun chariot.

In fact, in Greek mythology, Apollo, the god of light, will succeed Helios, the god of the sun, and become one of the future versions of the sun god.

It is also the most popular version.

Because of Phaethon's arrogance and the favor of the sun god Helios.

Phaethon drove the sun chariot and rushed out of the door of the world.

The stars appeared and disappeared one by one as the sun chariot appeared.

The golden sun chariot and the winged Pegasus, driven by Phaethon, soared in the blue sky.

But just when Phaethon was so excited about this and even sang loudly, he did not know that the "disaster" brought by the sun chariot was also about to come.

As a human being, Phaethon did not inherit his father's divine power and was unable to control the sun chariot at all.

Then the four flaming Pegasus horses that were pulling the sun chariot neighed, their scorching breath sprayed sparks in the air, and soon the chariot was deviated from its original trajectory.

In addition, Helios swore an oath to the River of Oath and promised Phaethon to drive for one day, so the gods could not help.

Eventually, the Pegasus pulling the sun chariot lost control and released its instinct to run. It ran wildly around the world with the sun chariot and the panicked Phaethon.

So the sun, which was supposed to be high in the sky, fell from the sky to the earth.

The sun chariot never returns, and the world enters into permanent daytime.

The horrific temperature caused the grasslands to dry up, forests to catch fire, crops to burn, and lakes to turn into deserts!

People on the ground were either freezing to death or dying of heat, the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy, and the world was filled with countless resentments.

At the same time, this also prevented Zeus from meeting the goddess at night. After a period of time, Zeus realized this and struck down the divine thunder.

Then Phaethon was struck by lightning and fell into the flaming wheels of the sun chariot, disrupting the rotation of the wheels.

Finally, the sun chariot turned into a fireball with Phaethon, fell from the sky, and landed in the vast Elidanus River.

Because Phaethon's entire body was burned by the flames of the sun chariot, his soul was also contaminated by the flames, and even the underworld could not accommodate him.

Also because of this incident, Helios was condemned by the gods when the world was almost turned into a desert, and eventually lost his position as the god of the sun.

In the end, Apollo, the god of light, replaced Helios and accepted the position of the sun god.

Well... no matter which version, it seems that Apollo, the god of light, will eventually replace Helios as the god of the sun.

But in short, for various reasons, Jason was involved in this matter.

And never before had Jason shown such a positive attitude towards the god's troubles.

After all, I was just a little bit away from being taken away by Artemis and there was no way back...

Then, under the leadership of Helios, Jason followed Helios and came to the dazzling sun chariot.

When Jason walked in front of the sun chariot, the four Pegasus with flaming wings pulling the chariot immediately looked at Jason.

At the same time, the heat emitted by the solar chariot and the scorching flames are simply not temperatures that humans can withstand.

This made Jason's brows furrow slightly.
