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

Tartarus interrupted Kronos and said, "I ask you, you accepted Jason's tribute and are satisfied with it, right?"

"That's right." Chronos nodded calmly: "Thanks to it, I finally see clearly why I failed back then..."

"What do you mean by failure? This is a complete and utter defeat!"

Tartarus pointed at the chessboard. The red side hadn't lost a single piece, but the black side only had a few pieces left. He said, "Given the current situation, even if I let you out, you'll only be beaten back.

Right, kid!"

Jason lowered his head and said nothing.

Is this a topic he can get involved in?

Kronos frowned and looked at Tartarus in front of him. He was naturally very angry when he was pointed out so ruthlessly.

But this anger came quickly and went away quickly.

After all, that happened thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago.

"I am pleased with this tribute... and the boy has certainly done it, a tribute no less worthy than that given to you."

Kronos brought the subject back.

"In that case, take out the gift and give it to the child."

Tartarus stroked his white beard and said with a smile.

"Gift?" Kronos looked at Tartarus in confusion.

"These are the rules of the game set by that child Athena.

When this boy offers us tribute, if we are satisfied with his tribute, we should give the boy corresponding gifts in return.

By the way, I gave this child three places."

Tartarus looked at Kronos with a smile and said, “Three places that can hold anything… By the way, there are several main gods, and the gifts given to this child by your descendants are all their companion artifacts.

That guy Hades even gave this kid his invisibility helmet!

And most importantly, up to now, no one has ever felt that this child doesn't deserve such a gift in return after offering such a tribute!"

After he finished speaking, Tartarus waved his hand at the chessboard in front of him.

Then the chess pieces on the board disappeared, and the scenes of Jason offering tributes so far appeared on the board one by one.

Tartarus cut out the memories he had seen.

So just as Kronos was immersed in the scene of Jason offering tribute.

"Now it's your turn, Kronos." Tartarus said to Kronos, "What gift will you give in return for this child?"

Hearing this, Kronos came back to his senses, looked at Tartarus, and then looked at Jason.

Finally, I looked at the chessboard in front of me and it returned to its original appearance.

After a long silence, he stretched out his hand and took out a golden lamp from the void.

This artifact is called the Lamp of Time, and it is Kronos' companion artifact!

After taking out the golden lamp, Kronos raised the golden lamp with his right hand, pointed the lamp mouth at his left hand, and poured out golden sand.

The sand turned into an hourglass in Kronos's hand.

"Tsk." Seeing this, Tartarus, who was originally very surprised, couldn't help but curl his lips. "I thought you were going to give your companion artifact to the kid."

Cronus ignored Tartarus and threw the hourglass to Jason.

The moment Jason subconsciously took the hourglass, he was stunned on the spot.

Because as soon as he caught it, the method of using it appeared directly in Jason's mind.

The time is three minutes.

The hourglass can go back three minutes.

To put it simply, after using this hourglass, Jason can go back three minutes!

What an artifact!

After learning how to use it, Jason was shocked.

But it turns out that this is a divine weapon.

Just as Jason was shocked, Kronos put away the Golden Lamp of Time and replied to Tartarus: "What do you know? Even if I really give it to this child, can he use it?

He's not even a god, three minutes is his limit!"

Jason held the hourglass tightly in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it away at his waist, expressing his gratitude to Kronos very cautiously.

Jason really couldn't go against his own conscience for such a useful gift.

This weapon is comparable to the trump card that Tartarus gave to Jason!

Three minutes may seem short, but that is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that it is still effective even against gods, even if the opponent is the king of gods Zeus!

Moreover, the trump card given by Tartarus has usage restrictions. There are only three black chess pieces, and one less is used.

This trump card can be used repeatedly!

Jason really didn't expect that this trip to see Kronos would not only bring him a great crisis, but also such a great gift!

At the same time, Jason was really lucky to receive this generous gift.

Because there were so many sands of time everywhere for Jason, although Kronos looked calm on the surface, he was actually very hurt inside...

Once the sand fell, the sand in his golden lamp of time became much less!

Being able to use it repeatedly is different from using it only once.

It wasn't that Kronos didn't think of giving Jason a disposable item.

But Kronos really liked this chess tribute, and its appearance directly solved the doubts that had troubled Kronos until now.

Let Kronos understand why he failed in the first place, and why he failed so completely!

In addition, there is a precedent of Tartarus and his men giving gifts in return.

Therefore, Kronos finally gave Jason this gift.

After receiving such a return gift and having his troubles resolved, Jason finally let go of his long-held heart.

Then he wanted to leave immediately and go to see Hecate and Persephone to report the good news.

But Jason had come here with great difficulty, so how could Tartarus let him go so easily?

And don't forget, there is also the Go endgame.

Although Jason didn't know much about Go, he could obviously still play for a while... But if his opponent was any one of Typhon, Athena or Hecate, it would obviously be a given.

For them, Jason's going there would be in vain.

If this were not the case, Tartarus would not have come to find Kronos.

He was so tortured by Typhon that he was about to suffer from psychological trauma.

At the beginning, Typhon was a little interested and would occasionally deliberately show a few disadvantages to lure Tartarus to continue so that he could get what he wanted.

But after a long time, Typhon got tired of it and turned into a demon. After killing Tartarus several times... nothing happened next.

Then Tartarus played a few games of chess out of curiosity, and finally found that Go was more popular.

Kronos naturally fell in love with chess, as he was not very interested in Go.

Then a scene occurred that made Jason feel helpless.

He was left behind and played chess with Kronos and Go with Tartarus at the same time.

There's nothing wrong with playing chess, the main thing is that it's scary.

Although both of them said that they would just play casually and would not be angry if they lost.

But Jason was no fool.

It’s not a win, it’s not a loss, and it’s not even a draw!

This is very uncomfortable and it is difficult to be a human being.

One is enough, but I still have to deal with two...

So at this time, Jason finally remembered that after he came to the abyss, he seemed to have dropped something.

soon,

"Jason, you finally came to save me..."

Cerberus was spinning in the darkness, which was endless and even his five senses were being gradually devoured. Suddenly, he saw the dark light beside him, the dark butterfly appeared in the abyss, and Jason finally appeared.

Cerberus, who was so anxious that he was about to cry, had not yet uttered any excited words when Jason grabbed her hand and brought her to Tartarus and Kronos.

And then...

"Huh, I'm finally out." Jason came out of the abyss, looked into the abyss with a guilty conscience, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Hecate and Sister Persephone must be impatient, right? I have to go back quickly!"

Thinking of this, Jason put on an invisible helmet, quietly and skillfully bypassed the underworld god guarding the abyss, and headed towards the temple of the goddess Hecate.

at the same time......

"Woo..."

Rubbing his little head, Cerberus was in the abyss, looking at the two chessboards on his left and right.

There are also Kronos and Tartarus who keep urging themselves to move faster, "Little dog, move faster!"

My nose couldn't help but feel sore.

"Woo woo woo, I don't want honey cakes anymore, I want to go out, I want to go out, I don't want to play chess, I don't want to play chess!

Save me, save me... The other two heads, stop pretending to be asleep, help me think of a solution, save me!"

Cerberus's wailing lingered in the endless abyss for a long time... Oh, that's not right.

The abyss seemed to be about to swallow up the wailing sound.

That's fine.

On the other side, Jason quietly slipped back into Hecate's temple.

Finding the door unlocked, he snuck into the lab wearing a helmet.

Then he found Hecate in the laboratory, holding a golden dagger and doing experiments again and again.

Seeing her busy, activating the divine power in the dagger again and again, and gritting her teeth in deep thought, Jason couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Then, just as Jason was about to take off his invisibility hat and report to Hecate that he was back and everything was fine.

Teacher Hecate is so cute...

How about I stay a little longer?

No, no, no, Jason, how could you be like this? Don’t you see that Teacher Hecate is so worried about you!

But, but it's so rare to see such a scene...

Ah, this is so difficult. What should I do?

Jason's mind was filled with accumulated struggles, but his body was honest as he hid in a corner where he could perfectly peek at Hecate.

After hiding for a while...

“No, I have no idea!

If you just do this, there will be no progress at all!

or......"

Hecate said, exposing her wrist and pointing the golden dagger at it, just as she was hesitating whether to cut it or not.

"Wait, wait a minute, teacher, don't let your mind wander!"

Seeing this, Jason could no longer hide, so he quickly appeared and grabbed Hecate's hands.
