And when Rhea expressed her intention to meet Jason, she did mention that Themis had taken a great interest in Jason because of the snake demon Lamia. Rhea also noticed this and finally decided to go.
Just considering Jason as the successor...this was indeed beyond the expectations of all the gods.
Just as Zeus learned the whole story through Hermes, his serious expression began to falter.
"Great God King Zeus, this is a wedding invitation."
Jason respectfully took out the pure golden invitation and said to Zeus, "This is the invitation that Lord Hades, the God of the Underworld, specially asked me to bring.
I hope that on the wedding day a week from now, Lord Zeus, the God King, will be able to honor me by attending Hades, the God of the Underworld's wedding."
After he finished speaking, Zeus hummed twice. He was listening to Hermes' explanation.
then......
"Hmm?" Zeus was stunned for a moment, looked at Jason, and said, "What did you just say?"
"I hope that the great God King Zeus will be able to go to the underworld to attend the wedding of Hades, the God of the Underworld, on the wedding day a week later..."
"Me?...Going to the underworld?" Zeus was stunned.
Hermes also looked at Jason with great surprise.
Although he had heard Jason say this before, he didn't expect that Jason actually did it!
"Yes, great God King Zeus... Of course, I also know that because of the rules between the human world and the underworld, even though you, the great God King Zeus, can go anywhere freely, you cannot go to the underworld without a reason.
But please rest assured, great king of gods Zeus, the gods of the underworld and the great primordial gods, the god of darkness Erebus, the goddess of night Nyx, and Lord Tartarus, the god of the abyss, have all agreed.
As long as you hold this invitation, you will be able to go to the underworld on the wedding day."
Jason explained the reason in relatively concise words.
When Zeus finished listening, he looked at Jason in front of him and felt a little confused.
"You...even convinced those three old fogies?"
"Come to think of it, I seem to have heard a similar rumor before." Hermes interrupted, adding, "It's said to have been spread by the Furies... It's said that a mortal entered the endless abyss of Tartarus.
Because he disrupted the rules of the underworld, this was the punishment he deserved.
But that mortal walked out of the endless abyss in just a few days.
Because of this, one of the goddesses of vengeance thought something had happened in the abyss, so she ran in and got lost in it. It was only after Hades, the god of the underworld, came to intercede for her that she was able to come out of the abyss..."
As Hermes finished speaking, Zeus and Hermes looked straight at Jason, which made Jason swallow his saliva.
"Well... actually, it was because of Cerberus. The great god of the abyss, Tartarus, seemed to like Cerberus very much, so he let Cerberus and me out right then and there..."
Jason's words were not lies.
Because Tartarus really loves Cerberus.
Because we can crush you at chess.
Upon hearing this, the king of gods Zeus was silent for a while.
"As for the underworld...it's no harm to go and take a look. Speaking of which, there's a daring youngster hiding in the abyss of the underworld, and now he doesn't dare to come out."
Upon hearing this, Jason lowered his head even lower.
Because he guessed that the person Zeus was referring to was Typhon, the ancestor of all demons...
Um, do I really want to invite Typhon to the wedding?
Jason became more and more hesitant.
Then Hermes took the invitation from Jason and handed it to Zeus. Zeus accepted it and said he would go that day.
Jason couldn't help but feel relieved.
At the same time...
"What, I heard Hercules is here?"
Pushing the door open, the beautiful and noble lady, Queen Hera, and the helpless Athena behind her came here.
"Hercules!"
Hera looked at Jason wearing a mask in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she ran towards Jason with joy on her face.
Seeing this, Hermes tactfully gave up his position.
Even in the eyes of Zeus and others, Hera did not hide her love for him.
"Your Majesty, Queen Hera, it's been a long time since we last met..."
Before Jason could finish his words, Hera grabbed him and asked with concern, "Are you okay, kid? Did the Night Goddess bully you?"
"Hey, Hera, look at what you said."
Zeus couldn't help but speak out and said to Hera: "How could the goddess Nyx bully this child? You know, this child is still..."
Having said this, Zeus realized that he had let the cat out of the bag at the sight of Athena and quickly shut up.
It has been said that the reason why Zeus gave Hecate such a great deal of convenience was partly because of the goddess Nyx.
This is certainly not a lie. Nyx is one of the original gods, the essence and incarnation of night. She and her brother Erebus were born from Chaos Chaos.
She was highly respected by Zeus.
Even in future myths and legends, there is a saying that Nyx was the foster mother who educated Zeus.
"Or...or what?"
Hera looked at Zeus in confusion.
Just as Zeus was thinking about how to explain it.
"I'm fine, great Queen Hera. The reason Goddess Nyx came to me that day was actually related to the position of God."
Jason spoke up and quietly explained to Hera, "The reason why the goddess Nyx took me away that day was to ask if I was willing to inherit her throne..."
"What? Nyx also wants you to inherit the throne?!"
Zeus and Hermes were both speechless.
"Also?" Athena instantly noticed the key point.
Then I saw the scales in Jason's left hand.
After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but step forward and grab Jason's left hand. After seeing clearly, he suddenly looked up at Jason.
Then he looked at Zeus and Hermes.
"Just now..." Hermes knew what Athena was going to ask, so he said, "Themis found him, handed him the scales of absolute justice, and told him about the test of the throne..."
Hermes said, looking towards Hera silently.
Athena was so smart that she immediately understood what the test was.
She looked at Hera in front of her, and then at the symbol of succession on Jason's left hand. After a while, a gleam of light flashed in Athena's eyes, which represented absolute wisdom.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Something that has troubled Athena for a long time.
Athena finally thought of a solution to the problem between Hera and Jason!
"A deity? And the two goddesses, Nyx and Themis, both value you, Hercules. This, this... this is too surprising!"
Hera exclaimed, and while she was shocked, she looked at Hercules in front of her, and the love in her eyes became even stronger.
Yes, it should be this good.
The child of Queen Hera should be so outstanding!
"Hey, Hercules, the hero in white, what brings you here?"
Athena coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"It is the great goddess Hera, the goddess Athena..."
As Jason explained, he took out the corresponding wedding invitation.
The invitations for the King of Gods Zeus and the Queen of Heaven Hera were pure gold, while the invitations for Athena and Hermes were dark gold.
"Hey, why are mine different from Athena's and hers?"
Hera asked doubtfully.
As for the wedding of Hades and Persephone, Hera had heard about it from Athena a long time ago.
And after hearing what Athena said, Hera also accepted that Hades and Persephone had a good relationship with Hercules in white.
Everything about Jason, except that about Hecate, was cleverly replaced by Heracles in white by Athena and told to Hera.
"Because the great goddess Hera, you and the great god king Zeus are the king and queen of the Olympian gods, this invitation was specially made when I commissioned it from Mr. Hephaestus."
Jason explained.
Although this was a small matter, it once again increased the favorability of Zeus and the Queen of Heaven towards each other.
Hera was not interested in the wedding of Hades and Hades, but when she heard that the wedding was prepared and offered as a tribute by Jason, she naturally had no reason not to go.
Not to mention Zeus and the others, it was impossible for them to refuse.
Therefore, by handing the invitation to them, Jason had almost completed half of his mission.
Then, in their gazes, Jason said goodbye to them and once again mounted the holy Pegasus and personally delivered the remaining invitations to the gods.
At the same time, in addition to the gods, there are some other people included in this invitation.
For example, his earliest teacher, the Centaur sage Chiron, his best brother Hercules, and the heroine Atalanta, who had a lot of bad luck with him.
And at this time, Hermes, the messenger of the gods, also began to make arrangements according to what Jason had requested.
On the land of Greece, poets gradually sang about the upcoming grand wedding!
Chapter 7: The Wedding Day... ()
Kingdom of Thebes.
"Hercules, Hercules, I have heard the legend about you among the minstrels again!"
The young man named Iolaus, Hercules' nephew, ran up to Hercules and said excitedly.
This young man occupies an extremely important position in the future history of the great hero Hercules.
Iolaus participated in most of Hercules' adventures, such as killing the Hydra. Every time Hercules cut off a head, Iolaus would burn the snake's neck with divine fire to prevent the head from regenerating, thus killing the Hydra.
Hercules also loved his nephew very much.
Therefore, in the myths that were spread in the future, he was also one of Hercules' harem...
"Iolaus, I've said it many times, it wasn't me..."
Looking at Iolaus's excitement, Hercules sighed helplessly, although he didn't know what Iolaus had heard.
But Hercules knew that his junior fellow apprentice must have done something earth-shattering again... Over the past few months, Hercules had become accustomed to it.
But who could have imagined that it was the junior brother who worried them the most when they were under Chiron's tutelage.
Now he has become the most famous hero in the whole of Greece!
Although it is his name, that of Hercules.
However, even if the world does not know, most of Chiron's disciples should know that the so-called White Hercules refers to Jason.
After all, the Pegasus, the white clothes, and the handsome young man who looks like the god of light Apollo are all very easy to recognize.
Although Hercules had asked others not to call him Hercules anymore, as he was not worthy of it, they should just call him by his original name, Alcides.
But Hercules means 'the one given glory by Hera'. It is a name given by the gods, so Hercules cannot be changed, and others will still call him Hercules.
Especially now that Hercules has been recruited by Eurystheus, the king of Argos, and is about to be given twelve trials according to the orders of Queen Hera, he cannot get rid of this name.
"Is it really not you, my beloved Uncle Hercules?" Iolaus looked at Hercules in disbelief and said, "But apart from you, I really can't imagine who else could accomplish such a great feat!
And dear Uncle Hercules, if it really wasn't you, why would that person use your name?"
"The reason?" Hercules couldn't help but smile at his nephew's question. "The reason is actually very simple. That person doesn't care about glory and doesn't want to be a hero."
