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

I hope to seek your help.”

Jason spoke directly about this matter. Although it was not a wise choice, Jason had no other choice.

Because Kronos saw at a glance the traces of his power on Jason, and he also saw Hecate's familiar, the Dark Butterfly, floating beside him.

"Didn't Hecate tell you the relationship between her and me?"

Kronos said lightly, looking at Jason silently.

His eyes seemed very cold.

Then Jason replied without waiting for hesitation.

"I say, you are the God King of Titan, why are you angry with a child?"

Tartarus interrupted the conversation and said to Kronos: "He is just a child, and as far as I know, he was born only a little over ten years ago.

More than ten years, it’s more than that when you close your eyes and open them again, right? "

Hearing this, Kronos was stunned.

Looking at Tartarus who was protecting Jason, he then looked at Jason.

After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but laugh and shook my head.

"Tartarus, that interesting child you were talking about must be him... This chessboard is also a gift from him to you, right?"

"That's right." Tartarus nodded, stroked his white beard, and said with a smile: "Well, this tribute is quite good, isn't it?"

"That's right... In that case, you should offer me a tribute." Kronos thought for a while and looked at Jason again.

"Reclaiming the divine power remaining in your body is undoubtedly as easy as breathing for me.

But since you are Hecate's student, it is impossible for me to help you without any reason.

Therefore, a tribute... If you can offer me something as interesting as this Go game, I will take back the remaining divine power in you and let you no longer suffer the torment of my divine power."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but look at Kronos in surprise.

He didn't expect that the other party would be so easy to talk to...

But soon, Jason reacted and looked at Tartarus, the god of the abyss beside him.

I see. The main reason is Tartarus's face.

Otherwise, as the God King of the Titan God Court, he probably wouldn't even be interested in blinking an eye at a insignificant thing like him who is not even a god.

Having read this, Jason came to his senses again.

They realized that this trip was not as difficult as they had imagined.

Because facing such a tiny person, Kronos, the king of Titans, didn't even bother to think of making things difficult for him.

But at the same time, it is not simple either.

For the same reason, for Jason, who was so insignificant in Kronos' eyes, under normal circumstances, there was probably no possibility for him to even listen to Jason's words or look at Jason.

"As interesting a tribute as Go... this one is good!"

Hearing Kronos' words, Tartarus' eyes lit up, and he looked at Jason and said, "Boy, can you take it out? ... If you can't, it's okay. I can ask him to suppress this power in you temporarily.

Set a time when you are ready to come here and offer your tribute to him."

Tartarus felt that it was already remarkable that Jason had been able to produce a piece of Go last time, and it would be impossible for him to produce a second tribute as interesting as Go in a short period of time.

Kronos thought so too, just as he was thinking about how many years to limit this tiny existence.

"A tribute as interesting as Go..."

Jason muttered softly, his eyes slightly brightening, and then he said to Tartarus: "No need, Lord Tartarus, I have already thought of the tribute!"

“…So soon?”

Tartarus looked at Jason in surprise and said, "Are you sure?

If you dare to pretend to be a scumbag, not only Kronos, but I will not acknowledge you either!"

As he spoke, Tartarus's expression became serious.

Obviously, he really likes Go...even though he is very bad at it.

"I can't say which one is better, but if we talk about fun, then it's definitely an interesting tribute!"

Jason said to Tartarus confidently.

Jason looked confident and didn't seem like the type to brag.

Tartarus was surprised and naturally became curious.

Even Kronos became curious.

Not long after that, Tartarus materialized what Jason wanted in the abyss according to Jason's request.

Soon, Tartarus and Kronos looked at the object Jason had placed on the stone platform. After curiously examining it for a while, Tartarus couldn't help but look at Jason and said, "Boy, what is this?"

"Chess."

Jason did not keep the secret, pointing to the chessboard that had been set up, and said to Tartarus with a smile: "This is called chess, with thirty-two pieces, half red and half black, and each side holds one.

The rules are also very simple.

The Red side has a commander, two officers, two ministers, two servants, two cannons, and five soldiers.

The black side has a general commanding two soldiers, two elephants, two chariots, two horses, two cannons, and five pawns.

During the game, each player takes turns to play chess, and the winner is the one who "checkmates" or "traps" the opponent's general (king)!

After saying this, Jason bowed respectfully to Kronos and sat down opposite him.

While explaining the specific rules, he fought against Kronos.

A simple actual combat taught the two people the specific way to play.

Soon, after Jason resolved the battle with a simple move of pressing, jumping, and blocking, the eyes of Kronos and Tartarus lit up slightly, and it was obvious that they had completely understood the way of playing chess.

After all, it is simple.

You may even learn it by just watching a couple of games.

But although it is simple, it is a well-deserved cultural treasure, so how can it be really simple?

When Kronos and Tartarus understood the rules of the game, Kronos' brows suddenly furrowed.

Look at the chessboard in front of you.

After a long while, his expression suddenly turned extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Little guy, help me set up this chessboard!"

Jason was stunned for a moment, then stood up and put all the chess pieces back in their original places.

Then Kronos was seen looking at the chessboard silently for a long time.

After finally standing up, he took a step with black, and then took another step with red, as if he was playing a game with someone.

Every step he took, he stopped to think for a long time.

It seems like he is recalling something.

Later, every time Black took a step, Red took several steps.

When the black chess pieces are eaten and only one general, one scholar, one bishop, and two soldiers are left.

Looking at the full chessboard of the red side and the chess pieces captured by the red side, Kronos' expression looked extremely complicated.

After a long sigh, he said, "Ah, it's not unfair to lose..."

Jason looked at Kronos like this, and couldn't help but look at Tartarus in confusion.

Tartarus looked at the final outcome of the game with a thoughtful expression on his face, and nodded, "Indeed, your loss was not unfair.

After all, even one of your most loyal soldiers was eaten by the other side.

Kronos, you are completely checkmated by Metis."

Metis?

Jason blinked.

This name sounds familiar to him.

Jason soon realized that this was Athena's mother, Metis, the first goddess of wisdom!

Wait, so this chessboard is...

Jason looked at the chess game in front of him, where the red side had not lost a single soldier, and then looked at the black chess game on Kronos' side.

After understanding the meaning of the arrangement of this chessboard, I couldn't help but feel shocked!

It is obvious that this chess game is the outcome of the war between Zeus and Kronos!

What Kronos just recounted was everything that happened during his war with Zeus in ancient times!

"When Zeus listened to Metis's advice and rescued his brothers and sisters, he was merely formalizing the chess game.

But soon, she let Zeus disintegrate the power around you bit by bit, taking away one Titan after another from you.

And when you finally react, you only have one general, one prime minister and two soldiers around you..."

Tartarus said this as he placed a pawn and a cannon in front of the Black general.

Checkmate!

And at this moment, through the chessboard, Kronos seemed to see himself being firmly grasped by the hundred arms of the hundred-armed giant, feeling helpless and furious.

Cursing Zeus, and angrily denouncing the Titans who betrayed him...

"...little one"

After a long time, Kronos finally spoke, looked at Jason, and said, "This tribute... I, Kronos, accept it!"

Chapter 5: Teacher Hecate smells so good (k)

The moment Kronos finished speaking, Jason felt his whole body suddenly relax.

The heart-wrenching pain that had troubled him for so long was finally relieved.

Jason's expression relaxed, and he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Kronos, expressing his highest gratitude.

"No need for that, this is our agreement..."

Having said this, Kronos paused for a moment, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and then said to Jason in a serious tone: "And this alone will never offset the tribute you have offered me, so tell me your wish.

I, Kronos, the King of the Titans, promise to grant you a gift!"

Hearing this, Jason was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said to Kronos, "That's not the right thing to say. You see, I'm Hecate's student. Lord Kronos, your willingness to help me is already a great favor!"

After saying this, Jason bowed to Kronos again to express his gratitude.

This is true, and the gratitude is also genuine.

Because that... really hurts.

Even along the way, Jason didn't care about good things.

But the pain lasted for at least a hundred years... Jason wasn't a masochist, so how could he really not care?

Seeing Jason like this, Kronos couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because gods hold divine authority, they can distinguish the truth from falsehood in words.

Unless it was said by Hermes, the messenger of the gods and the god of deception.

"...I see. No wonder Hecate and Nyx insisted you come to the Abyss despite such a slim possibility."

Kronos looked at Jason in white and couldn't help but sigh, "They do have a good student.

It’s a pity that you are not a god…”

"With so many of us watching, this child still can't become a god?" Tartarus interrupted the conversation and said to Kronos, "You probably don't know that this time, because of this child's incident, the entire underworld almost turned upside down.

Your child, Hades and Nyx, the kings of the underworld, have now come straight to Olympus, almost making Zeus unable to get off the stage!"

Hearing the names of his children, Hades and Zeus, Kronos' expression couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

Then he looked at Jason in front of him, nodded, and said, "That's true. It would be strange if he couldn't become a god. Oh, I wonder..."

"Alright, alright, stop asking questions. This child's condition has nothing to do with you. Even if you need to worry about something, it's definitely not your place to worry about it."
