Chapter 4.5 Jason: My name is Hercules! (k)

Athena, what on earth do you want to do?

Looking at the goddess Hestia who was looking at him with some expectation, Jason felt a headache.

Just give anything as a tribute? ...No, that's courting death!

At the same time, although letting the gods down will cause their dissatisfaction, if you deceive the gods, you will also be seeking death!

Realizing this, Jason knew that there was only one path left for him to choose.

"I'm sorry, Goddess Hestia."

So Jason took a deep breath and said to Hestia in an apologetic tone: "I haven't prepared your tribute yet, so Goddess Hestia, can you give me a little more time?

It won't be long before I present you with the tribute I carefully prepared!"

"I see... Since you're so honest, Jason, I'll just wait."

Hestia puffed her lips, pinched Jason's face, and continued, "But in that case, little Jason, your tribute must not disappoint me!"

"...Yes I understand, Lady Hestia."

As expected, it turned into a difficult incident.

Jason felt helpless.

To satisfy the goddess Hestia... No, maybe it's not just Hestia, Artemis, Apollo, and Demeter are probably also...

Thinking of this, Jason felt his head start to ache again.

Once again, I deeply realized how troublesome God is!

"Let's not talk about the tribute for now. Little Jason, are you going to continue your journey tonight?"

Jason nodded to Hestia.

"That won't do." Hestia took Jason's hand and sat down beside him. Then she said to Jason seriously, "How can you not rest at night? Besides, you are still young and growing.

I heard that you haven't had a rest for three whole years!

And you just helped me get rid of the Chimera monster, so I should give you some reward."

Hestia said, waving her hand slightly and a bonfire appeared nearby.

Seeing this, Jason's eyelids twitched, and he felt that this scene looked somewhat familiar...

"Come, Jason."

Hestia sat down and gave Jason a very bright smile.

Jason was silent for a moment, then tilted his head slightly to look at Brother Ma.

The Pegasus who was eating the melon saw Jason looking at him and was so scared that he quickly turned around, lowered his head to eat grass, and looked at him as if to say, "Don't look at me, I didn't see anything."

So Jason gave up struggling with a silent sigh in his heart, lay down on his side, and put his head stiffly on Hestia's legs.

Naturally, he didn't dare say anything more, because he knew that if he rejected Hestia tonight, it would really make the goddess angry.

Forget it, it’s just a knee pillow, and it’s not the first time for us to have intimate contact.

Jason comforted and convinced himself in this way.

When Jason lay down, Hestia happily combed his hair, touched his head, and then sang a song softly.

There was a gentle breeze at night, and the flames of the bonfire swayed slightly, illuminating the blond hero who was lying on the lap of the goddess Hestia, and gradually closed his eyes under the beautiful song.

The holy Pegasus later came over, stretched out his wings, squatted down and closed his eyes.

Jason fell asleep again.

The next day,

When Jason woke up, Hestia had also left.

The bright light shines on Jason, who is wearing the sword of Apollo, the god of light.

Jason stood up, looked around, and finally put his hands on the still sleeping Pegasus. He patted its head and said unhappily, "Alright, you're still sleeping... Let's go, we should hurry."

Tianma woke up, and Qingming hit Jason with his head in dissatisfaction.

Then Jason ate the nectar fruit that had been prepared on the side, washed up briefly by the stream, and then rode on Pegasus again and embarked on his journey.

Ancient Greece, especially the Greece where gods existed, was a very dangerous world.

Therefore, sometimes even if there is no god deliberately interfering, Jason will encounter some unexpected dangers.

Jason separated from the goddess Hestia and rode Pegasus again towards Calydon.

It didn't take long before I heard someone calling me from below.

Jason didn't take it seriously at first, but then several rocks suddenly flew up from the ground and hit them. If Pegasus hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been hit.

After dodging, Tianma let out two dissatisfied noises, then looked at Jason.

Jason hesitated for a while. He naturally didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to leave immediately.

But seeing the anger displayed by Pegasus, Jason could only sigh helplessly and nodded slightly.

So the Pegasus turned around and flew towards the ground.

Finally, it stopped in front of a giant who was more than three meters tall.

"Hero, we finally caught up with you!"

Just as Jason was looking at this shirtless, savagely dressed barbarian with a long beard and unkempt appearance.

Two slightly embarrassed Lycian warriors wearing silver armor came forward excitedly.

They were obviously pursuers sent by the King of Lycia.

Unlike them who were excited, Jason looked at the two warriors and naturally felt speechless and troubled.

"Are you the great hero they say fell from the stars, brought the oracle of the goddess Hestia, and slew the Chimera?"

The savage man looked down at Jason and saw that he was so short and weak, and his arm was not even as big as his thumb.

He snorted with disdain, "You're such a hero who killed Chimera, but you look nothing special. I don't think you can even take a single punch from me!"

The big man's words made the two warriors extremely angry, but because they were afraid of the big man's strength, they dared not speak out.

"Your Excellency is...?"

"Listen up, little man!" The rude man raised his head proudly and said to Jason, "I am Antaeus, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea!

Since you have come here, little guy, you must abide by the rules I set before you can leave.

Either defeat me or..."

As Antaeus spoke, he pointed to the temple nearby, which was being built with the skulls of the dead.

On this road, Antaeus forced all who passed by to fight with him, and then killed them all with his infinite power.

His purpose in doing this was to collect the skulls of the dead so that he could build a temple to his father, Poseidon.

For most Greek warriors, battle = offering to the gods = ravage.

Now, Antaeus set his next target on Jason.

Because he had heard from the two Lycian warriors about Jason's feat of killing Chimera.

Antaeus naturally wanted to kill him to show how powerful he was!

However, just after Antaeus revealed his identity, the originally angry Tianma was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Antaeus in confusion.

"You said...you are the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea?"

Jason was also stunned.

"That's right!" Antaeus said proudly. Obviously, such an identity made him feel very proud.

Hearing this, Jason naturally looked at Pegasus, and Pegasus looked at Antaeus carefully, even circling around it and sniffing it, before reluctantly nodding to Jason.

"what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Antaeus frowned and asked.

"Antaeus, do you recognize it?" Jason pointed at the Pegasus and before Antaeus could reply, Jason continued, "It is the mount that your father, the great Poseidon, has temporarily loaned to me.

And now, I am following the oracle of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and traveling with the help of Poseidon, the king of the sea... So are you sure you want to stop me?"

After Jason finished speaking, Antaeus was stunned and had not yet reacted.

"Athena, the goddess of wisdom...isn't she the oracle of Hestia, the goddess of fire?" A warrior nearby couldn't help but ask.

"The oracle given to me by the goddess Hestia is to slay the Chimera, the monster that has devastated the earth," Jason explained. "And the oracle given to me by the goddess of wisdom, Athena, is to rush to Calydon as quickly as possible and assist Calydon's prince, Meleager, in repelling the monster, the Calydonian Boar."

"So that's it."

Upon hearing this, the warrior suddenly realized the truth and looked at Jason with even more admiration.

He said with great admiration: "You are worthy of being the great hero who killed Chimera. You are so great that you are favored by so many gods!"

Hearing this, Jason originally thought it was nothing.

But when he turned his head to look at Antaeus again, Jason was instantly helpless.

Therefore, at this moment, Antaeus' eyes were filled with the word "jealousy"!

How could you be so favored! ...Jason could even hear his voice from his eyes.

Well, it seems like there’s no chance of relying on connections to get in through the back door.

Just as Jason thought, after hearing Jason's words, Antaeus, who was extremely jealous, made up his mind in an instant and punched Jason.

While waving his sword, he roared, "I don't care what kind of oracle you have, but if you want to pass by me, you must defeat me!"

While shaking his fist at Jason, Antaeus was secretly paying attention to the Pegasus and making up his mind.

After killing Jason with one punch, he will tame the Pegasus and then ride it to Calydon in place of Jason!

What surprised Antaeus was that Pegasus did not seem panicked when he attacked Jason, and did not even show any sign of helping him.

So in the eyes of the two horrified warriors, Jason, who had frowned at the huge fist, had no choice but to raise his small fist.

Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot,

Their fists collided.

boom!

There was a loud bang.

Antaeus was surprised, and the two warriors were delighted to find out.

Jason actually resisted Antaeus's power head-on!

Then Jason took two steps back, shook his slightly numb arm, and frowned at Antaeus.

Wow, his strength is not much less than that of Brother Hercules, no wonder he is so confident!

"Come again!"

When Antaeus saw that the little man was not smashed into a pulp by his punch, he became angry and felt humiliated.

They launched an attack on Jason again.

But except for the first punch, every punch that Antaeus threw felt like hitting cotton.

Because every time he swung his fist, Jason would cleverly pull it back to absorb most of the force.

Most of the fists hit the boulders nearby and the ground.

Hercules did not leave at the beginning during his three years of sleepless learning. Therefore, in order to become stronger as quickly as possible, Jason often sought Hercules as his sparring partner, relying on his invulnerable body.

Therefore, he naturally knew how to deal with enemies with brute force.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

"Don't be afraid of you, you bug! I'm going to beat you to death, beat you to death!"

As time went by, dozens of minutes passed, and Antaeus, who was becoming more and more crazy because he failed to capture Jason, had red eyes.
