"No, you can't just kill him."
Jason shook his head, "That water nymph turned into a siren, and it has something to do with me... But don't worry, Brother Hercules, I will take care of it."
Jason stopped talking after this.
"I see." Hearing this, Hercules nodded, "Then I'll go over and talk to them first."
"Well, thank you for your help, Brother Hercules." Jason breathed a sigh of relief when Hercules did not ask any further questions.
After Hercules left and told the news to the many heroes on the Argo, the Argo also began to try to break out of the huge sea whirlpool.
But just as the Argo was about to break out of the huge whirlpool, the originally calm sea surface suddenly rolled up.
Then a huge sea monster rushed out from the whirlpool!
That sea monster was like a giant squid in the ocean, with twelve tentacles, and its size was even bigger than the Argo!
But above the tentacles was half of a ferocious man's body.
There is no doubt that this is the sea monster that devours passers-by, Scylla, who was transformed into the siren by the magic potion of the night witch Circe!
"Don't even think about escaping!" Scylla roared angrily, and the twelve tentacles coiled towards the Argo, as if ready to tear it apart.
But under the defensive barrier that the Argo immediately deployed, Scylla's tremendous strength was unable to shake the Argo at all.
This made Scylla even more violent.
"I know you're in there, I know you, damn bastard!"
Scylla's tentacles slapped the Argo hard.
Even though it couldn't shake the Argo in a short period of time, it did cause the ship to tremble violently.
Seeing this, Jason was not angry, but laughed instead.
"Argo, strike back!"
"Fight back? But Master Jason, Hermes said..."
"Don't worry, we can fight back now." Jason interrupted the Argonaut, "Because she... was fooled!"
Chapter 230: Heart of the Deep Sea
Scylla,
She was originally an extremely beautiful water nymph.
But because of the jealousy of the night witch Circe, it turned into a water monster that makes people turn pale and eats people.
Hermes took it and used it as a test for Jason.
In fact, it is indeed a difficult problem.
Because whether Jason killed her or not, it was not the best choice.
Kill her, and Hera would have reason to question Jason and punish him.
If they don't kill her, Jason and the Argonauts will be hunted by her. If they want to escape, they must sacrifice six lives to her.
However, Hermes did not realize one thing.
That is why he thought of using this method to make things difficult for Jason.
In fact, it was influenced by Jason!
Show people virtue, convince people with reason, move people with emotion, discipline people with rules, inspire people with ambition... These words are enough to summarize the rules that Jason has always followed.
As one of the first gods to come into contact with Jason, Hermes naturally witnessed how Jason dealt with the various troubles he encountered time and time again.
Hermes himself was a very intelligent god, although he could not describe in words what Jason had done.
I just think this is a good idea, it makes people convinced and unable to make things difficult.
But in the long run, you will naturally learn a little bit.
Undoubtedly, this time, Hermes wanted to stand on the side of reason and suppress Jason with the power of the Tao.
But what he learned was only the basics after all, not to mention that it was done unconsciously, and Hermes himself probably didn't even notice it.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Jason to crack it.
Regarding the legend of Scylla, there is a saying in English idiom "Between Scylla And Charybdis".
There is Scylla in front and Charybdis whirlpool behind, which means "dilemma".
But it is obvious that Jason prefers to be proactive rather than passive and caught in a dilemma.
Therefore, after Jason learned about the Scylla sea monster and the huge whirlpool, he decided to enter the whirlpool to force the waiting Scylla to take action.
Turn passivity into initiative!
"Great gods, as you can see, we did not enter her territory, nor did we attack her, but she appeared and attacked us.
If we don't fight back, are we going to wait until she crushes the Argo, and all of us on the Argo die in the sea?!"
After Jason finished speaking loudly, he spoke to the Argo ship spirit again.
"Argo, what are you waiting for? Fight back!
And heroes of the Argo, isn't it time for you to offer your courage and heroism to the great gods in heaven?
What are you still hesitating about? Take up your weapons and fight against the sea monster that wants to destroy the Argo and stop our great voyage.
Give her the punishment she deserves!"
After the words were spoken, the Argo no longer hesitated, and the magic missile was fired from the Argo, hitting Scylla hard.
Many heroes also picked up their weapons and smashed them hard on the tentacles that Scylla used to wrap around the Argo.
Atalanta even drew the bow of the sky, and the arrow accurately hit Scylla's left eye.
Soon, mournful screams were heard in the sea.
Section after section of the tentacles were blown to pieces or chopped off by the heroes.
Hercules and Theseus bravely climbed onto Scylla's body, and green blood dyed the vortex.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable!"
Scylla screamed, and then her tentacles lifted up the Argo and shook it vigorously in the whirlpool.
This really made many heroes who were not good at swimming feel dizzy instantly, and they fell directly off the boat and fell into the whirlpool.
"Brother Theseus, and you, go and save them!"
Seeing this, Jason shouted and ordered the two winged crew members on the ship to quickly rescue the hero who fell from the ship.
"Argo, prepare! After everyone is rescued, stop defending and bombard her with maximum firepower. Drive her into the vortex!"
Upon hearing this, the ship spirit fired even more fiercely at the mermaid.
After a while, when the heroes climbed up by themselves or were rescued, the Argo suddenly stopped its protective shield, and the Argo without the protective shield fell directly into Scylla's hands.
Seeing this, before Scylla could feel surprised, the Argo, which she pushed with all her strength, slipped away from her tentacles.
And the next second, magic bullets hit Scylla like crazy, and the bursts of white light seemed so dazzling.
Finally, all that was heard was Scylla's unwilling roar.
Unable to resist, she could only allow herself to be swept away by the whirlpool.
Then everyone on the Argo felt that it was the end.
A group of dark butterflies emitting a faint dark light suddenly appeared, and then Jason, holding a staff, was seen walking on the road paved by the dark butterflies.
Rushed towards Scylla who fell into the whirlpool.
"Master Jason!"
"Brother Jason!"
"Captain Jason!"
Seeing this, many people opened their eyes wide and exclaimed to Jason.
But Jason did not stop. He stepped forward quickly and landed on Scylla. Together with Scylla, he fell into the whirlpool and soon disappeared.
Jason's action not only shocked most of the people on the Argo.
Even the gods such as Hestia and Amphitrite who were watching this from the sky were stunned and panicked.
Just when they were subconsciously preparing to take action to rescue Jason.
"Wait a minute, look, he...he seems to be okay!"
Hermes stopped them and pointed to Jason who was falling into the whirlpool with Scylla below.
Jason fell into the whirlpool and then took out a dark blue bead and held it tightly in his hand.
Holding the bead, he seemed to be unhindered even in the whirlpool, and moved very comfortably.
"...Heart of the Deep Sea?"
Hera recognized the origin of the bead at a glance, and then suddenly turned her head to look at Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, beside her.
Amphitrite herself was stunned for a moment, and blinked at the bead.
Only then did he remember that he seemed to have given it to Jason.
When I went to the temple of the deep sea to retrieve the Lyre of the Deep Sea, I gave it to Jason and then seemed to have forgotten to take it back...
Ah, this...
Amphitrite came back to her senses and saw Hera's intent gaze.
After a dry cough, he revealed a slightly awkward yet polite smile, and forced himself to feign surprise as he exclaimed, "Oh, so that kid actually has the Heart of the Deep Sea in his hand. I wonder who gave it to him!"
Chapter 5: Confess to Hera! (k)
Ha ha,
Hera couldn't help laughing at Amphitrite's poor acting.
As for what this smile meant, perhaps only she herself knew it at this moment.
And at this moment,
"Honorable and great goddess Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea, Jason sincerely prays to you. Please use your supreme power to take Scylla and me away from the Argo and the whirlpool of Charybdis."
Jason's plea suddenly rang out, causing Amphitrite's eyelids to twitch.
Jason, what are you doing? Jason.
Amphitrite glanced at Hera, who was expressionless, and couldn't help but think, "How can I help you in this situation?"
"...He's calling you."
Hera didn't even bother to look up and said, "Aren't you going to take action, Amphitrite?"
"This..." Amphitrite felt very embarrassed and at a loss, so she looked at Hestia for help.
Hestia said she was helpless and had no other options.
"The child is calling you, the noble Sea Queen Amphitrite."
At this moment, in Amphitrite's heart, a sound that was undoubtedly the sound of nature rang out.
Several gods present subconsciously turned their heads to look.
"Athena!" Amphitrite raised her voice slightly and called out the other person's name.
That’s right, Athens, which has not appeared for a long time, is finally back at this moment.
Dressed in holy clothes and with an elegant smile, the pearl of the Olympian temple, the goddess of wisdom Athena, walked out from the clouds and came before them.
And upon seeing her, Amphitrite couldn't help but feel relieved.
Because everyone knows that as long as Athena is there, her wisdom will guide Jason.
No matter how great the danger is, Athena will find a way out!
"You finally showed up... I thought you were going to hide until it was over, my—good daughter!"
Hera narrowed her eyes and looked at Athena.
