But at this moment Jason suddenly realized that if he returned the dagger now, Hera would also take away her trust and love for him.

Because he only walked halfway and did not actually step into the throne.

"Goddess Hera, you are right. I am indeed too greedy. I have not given anything, but I want to get everything from you.

Therefore, goddess Hera, I hope to make a new covenant with you."

Hera said nothing, looking at Jason in front of her.

"Until now, I have not yet presented my humble tribute to you, the venerable Queen of Heaven?"

Hera understood, only to hear Jason continue, “Goddess Hera, I will prepare a tribute for you, a tribute of your heart, with all my strength!

And when that time comes, I hope you will accept it as a gift in return for what you have given me.”

I offer you tribute just to gain your forgiveness...

Hera's expression shifted slightly, Jason's face reflected in her eyes.

After a long moment, he smiled helplessly.

He nodded gently and said, “Okay, I can make a new agreement with you.

But... I will accept this dagger, but I will not accept it."

Hera continued, "I will accept it first, and then give it...the true gift to you."

The main reason why Hera gave the dagger to Jason that day was because she wanted Hercules in white to curse Jason endlessly.

But at this moment, it has become a gift.

It represents her relief.

And one thing must be mentioned, that is, Hera now has a psychological trauma when looking at this dagger...especially when it is still in Jason's hand.

Hera probably couldn't refuse any request made by Jason, who was holding it.

"But...it has to be a tribute that I approve of."

Then, Hera added, her golden eyes gazing at the hero before her, her gaze gradually becoming gentler, and with a faint smile, she said, "Child, are you sure you can offer such a tribute to me?

I can tell you without hesitation that it would be very difficult for me to let go of this prejudice and give up the challenge of competing with Hecate and Hephaestus for you.

It’s not low.”

"I will do my best and I will do it!"

When Jason's words echoed in this ancient temple.

After a long time, this matter finally came to a temporary end.

Although the dagger still remained on Jason's body and had not been returned to Hera, Jason could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the heavy pressure on him that was making him breathless was finally reduced at this moment.

He has been carrying this pressure for many years.

It started in the temple of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, when she rejected Hera and chose Hecate, and it continues to this day.

Queen Hera... The weight of these four words made Jason unable to sleep peacefully for countless nights.

And Hera also breathed a sigh of relief.

The development of things to this point was also beyond Hera's expectations.

In fact, looking at it now, Athena was undoubtedly successful.

Her scheme made Hera fall in love with Jason once again... not the white-clad Heracles, but Jason himself, whom she hated.

This is also the reason why Hera reacted so violently, ran away from the island directly, and returned home crying.

Because at that moment, when he saw Jason stab the dagger into his heart.

Hera originally thought that everything was really irreversible and there was no possibility for her to see Jason again and get him.

Who would have thought that things would take such a turn now.

But after this incident, Hera's desire to get Jason not only did not dissipate, but... became even stronger!

At present, apart from Athena, she is probably the second goddess who most wants to snatch Jason away from Hecate, Hephaestus and others and possess him.

then......

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

After three days, Hephaestus, who could no longer bear to watch Jason, forcibly took him away from Hera's temple.

Hera's temple had already been restored to life that day, and many nymphs who had been driven away had also returned here.

The second generation Queen of Heaven Rhea was among them, smiling as she watched Hera and Hephaestus staring at each other, neither of them willing to give in, fighting for Jason.

At the beginning, Athena once asked Rhea why she had to bring Hera and Jason together.

Rhea gave various reasons at the time, and one of them actually involved Hephaestus and Hera.

The relationship between this mother and daughter had already reached the point where it was impossible to reconcile, which had caused Rhea a headache for a long time.

In fact, it was picked up by Thetis, the goddess of the sea and Hephaestus's adoptive mother, and raised him until he grew up. How could it be an accident?

Behind the scenes, it was the result of Rhea secretly seeking her help.

Later, Hephaestus was able to return to the Temple of Olympus, also with the secret help of Rhea.

Thetis was the first and original Greek goddess of the sea.

In early mythology, she was even a creation goddess.

Please note that she should not be confused with Thetis, the mother of Achilles.

The relationship between mother and daughter has become extremely bad and almost irreparable, and Rhea has even thought about giving up.

But at this moment, she discovered Jason.

Although the two of them were glaring at each other and arguing endlessly because of Jason.

But this is better than the two of them not meeting each other at all and pretending that the other person doesn't exist.

And Rhea believed that Jason would not sit idly by and watch the situation.

This child who never disappoints anyone will give her a surprise one day!

Soon after Hephaestus took Jason away...

"Are you leaving now?"

Hephaestus, sitting in a wheelchair, with a face that bore a striking resemblance to Hera, his soft golden hair draped over his left shoulder, looked longingly at Jason as he prepared to say goodbye. He pouted and said, "You're willing to accompany that bastard, but you won't spend more time with me?"

"Ahem, teacher, of course I'm willing to accompany you. I don't even want to go anywhere!

But you know, I really can't stay here for too long."

Jason replied to Hephaestus with a wry smile, "I've been away for nearly twenty days. If I don't go back, I really don't know what has become of those people on the Argo..."

"Humph, it's just a tribute to Athena, why are you so concerned about it?"

Hephaestus turned his head away, looking unhappy.

Seeing this, Jason was also speechless.

In fact, Hephaestus didn't care about paying tribute to Athena at all. If he cared, he would have said it last time.

The reason why she is acting so emotional now is ultimately because of Hera.

Athena was just affected.

Jason also knew in his heart that Hephaestus and Hera had an incompatible relationship, and he had known about it for a long time.

But even if I knew, it was obviously something I couldn't say.

So he had no choice but to come to Hephaestus, squatted down and said to Hephaestus in a flattering manner: "Teacher Hephaestus, you also know that the crew members on the Argo all followed me after receiving my envelope.

You can't let your students become irresponsible bastards and lead them halfway and then run away, right?

If I really do this, then you will be very disappointed, right?"

"I'm not that Athena. Jason, as long as you're happy, I don't mind what you do."

Hephaestus replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, Jason's mouth corners naturally rose a little.

Fortunately, he quickly realized that he had been inadvertently teased by Teacher Hephaestus again...

“Teacher Hephaestus, offering tribute to a noble god requires care, and… Teacher Hephaestus, don’t you also like me giving you tribute?

Teacher Hephaestus, don't you actually like me and think I'm a crude and shoddy product?"

After saying this, Jason looked hurt.

Frightened, Hephaestus quickly grabbed Jason's hand and repeatedly assured him that he had no such intention.

Seeing this, Jason gave another decisive blow, leaning close to Hephaestus' ear and whispering, "And you know, Teacher Hephaestus, among my three teachers, only you have received tribute. Teacher Hecate and Teacher Chiron have not received any..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hephaestus smiled and became happy.

Seeing that he had finally cheered up the goddess Hephaestus and she was no longer in a bad mood, Jason couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Jason found that someone seemed to be looking at him. He turned his head and saw that it was the goddess of beauty Aphrodite who had come here at some point.

At this moment, she was looking at Jason with an extremely strange look...

Then...

"You are very good at dealing with Hephaestus like this, kid."

The goddess of beauty whispered to Jason secretly.

"Goddess Aphrodite, I do not..."

Jason was about to explain to Aphrodite.

"Don't rush to explain. I don't mean anything else. It's just that... Jason, can you teach me how to make Hephaestus happy?"

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, winked at Jason.

In an instant, Jason's expression when he looked at Aphrodite became strange.

Goddess Aphrodite, do you... really want to be my master's wife?

Jason looked at the goddess of beauty Aphrodite in front of him, and then looked at Hephaestus not far away. He suddenly felt the atmosphere in the temple...

It seems to have become more subtle!

PS: Sorry, I didn’t update yesterday because I was halfway through writing when I was pulled out by something.

I’ll see if I can make up for it today and update more in the next chapter.

As I was writing, I felt like doing something bad. I suddenly started to like the character Hera that I created... Hey!

Chapter 3: That is the most dazzling hero in this world! (k)

He said goodbye to the two goddesses and the puppets in the temple who were reluctantly watching him leave.

The hero in white once again rode on the holy Pegasus, holding the reins given by the gods, and galloped under the blue sky.

And when Pegasus carried him away into the distance, leaving the holy Mount Olympus.

Looking back at Jason as he left the Holy Mountain, he recalled the scenes of his trip to the Holy Mountain and couldn't help but whispered, "Goddess Themis, it seems like you are avoiding me."

Themis, the goddess of order in ancient Greek mythology.

She was a goddess with her eyes covered by a white cloth, charming and impartial, representing absolute justice.

He was also the god who placed the scales of judgment in Jason's hands, intending to pass the throne to him.

Jason suddenly mentioned her because he had heard from Teacher Hecate about Themis's bold idea.

The reason why she suddenly found Jason was that she wanted to pass the throne to him.

It is in the hope of creating a special god with the help of Jason.
