So Jason and Atalanta left.

After they left, there was a period of silence. Suddenly, Meleager whispered to Hercules, "Don't you think that Junior Brother Jason and Atalanta seem quite compatible?"

A man as handsome as the sun god Apollo, and a woman as beautiful as the moon goddess Artemis.

Hercules looked at Meleager, hesitated for a moment, and then said carefully: "I think... they are quite a match."

"...Isn't it true?" Meleager shook his head and smiled. "I think so too. They really seem to be a good match."

"then you......"

"I give up." Meleager raised his hands in surrender. "If it were anyone else, I might really be unwilling to accept it, but... as for Junior Brother Jason, forget it."

Jason took Atalanta out of the palace and went outside to find Pegasus again. He released Atalanta and said to her, "Atalanta, wait here for a while... If you feel bored, let Pegasus take you to the sky, but don't stay away for too long."

"Chirp—!"

The Pegasus kicked the ground and cried out.

"Stop yelling. What's wrong with taking someone else for a walk? At worst, I'll give you some cakes afterwards, okay?"

Tianma was satisfied after hearing this.

"Wherever you are going, I will go too." Atalanta frowned.

"I'm going to the underworld...are you sure you want to come with me?"

Jason, holding the staff, looked at Atalanta.

When Atalanta heard this, her whole body stiffened slightly, and then she silently took a step back.

Although Jason found this funny, he did not continue to embarrass Atalanta. He found a dark place nearby, tapped the ground with his staff, and headed to the underworld again under the protection of the flying Hades.

Soon, at the road to Hades, the three-headed hellhound Cerberus was guarding the gate.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

The three-headed hellhound looked at Jason in confusion. "Didn't you say you'd already embarked on a journey and wouldn't be back anytime soon?"

"I came back to ask the teacher for help... Oh, and Lord Cerberus, please don't tell the teacher about my return, or he will definitely close the door and pretend he's not here!"

Jason, who was very familiar with the three-headed dog of Hell, said so.

Of course he was very familiar with the Cerberus. After all, Jason had to pass by the Cerberus every night for three years.

Although the three-headed dog of hell guards the gate to the underworld for Hades, its actual master is not Hades, but Jason's teacher Hecate!

It is also because of this that among the many gods staying in the underworld, Hecate's entry and exit seem so simple.

After a brief conversation with the three-headed dog of hell, Jason came to the River Styx and the ferry god Charon.

"Why did you come back so suddenly?" Charon looked at Jason curiously and asked, "Have you encountered some difficulties that you can't solve? ... I remember you killed Chimera just two days ago, didn't you?"

"Ah, thank you so much for your help the other day, Grandpa Charon."

Jason jumped onto the boat and said to Charon, who had a skull with dark flames inside his head, "I'm not in trouble, but I need help from my teacher with something."

"Yeah." Charon nodded slightly, his body suddenly paused.

Then he said to Jason, "My son, you will be ashore soon. You may have to wait a little longer."

"What's wrong?" Jason looked at Charon in confusion.

"Lord Hades is aware of your arrival, and Lady Persephone is now on her way to you."

"Sister Persephone? ...That's right, I really need to go look for my sister."

Jason nodded to show that he understood.

This is because Atalanta did not follow, otherwise she would not even know what expression to make when looking at the scene before her.

Is this really the underworld?

That terrifying underworld where there is no light and no living beings are allowed to enter?

Are you sure this isn't your Jason's home? !

But to be honest, after recognizing Persephone as his sister, the Queen of the Underworld, his teacher was Hecate, the goddess of roads, and he was also indebted to Hades.

It's not impossible for Jason to treat the underworld as his second home.

At the same time, the most important thing is that Jason is not very disgusted with the god of the underworld.

So far, the Hades have hardly caused any trouble to Jason, but he has been the one causing trouble to the Hades.

Even Jason had considered whether he should seek a position in the underworld after becoming immortal with the help of Athena.

It would be best if I could be neighbors with Teacher Hecate.

As Jason was thinking about this...

"Child, come here."

"Child, I know you can hear me. Come here. I won't hurt you."

A vague voice suddenly sounded in Jason's mind.

Jason was slightly stunned by this, but he didn't look too surprised, because this voice... he had heard it a long time ago.

"Child, I feel the devastation from you... Come here, child, I will help you."

Jason listened to the call in silence.

He tilted his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the abyss of Tartarus in the underworld.

"...I'm sorry, Lord Typhon, son of the great primordial god Tartarus, Lord of the Titans, I will not come to you."

Jason whispered in his heart.

"No child."

Typhon's ethereal voice rang in Jason's ear, "I knew you would come to me one day... I will wait for you, child."

Jason let out a slow breath.

"What's wrong, kid?"

Charon looked at Jason with confusion, whose expression suddenly became serious.

"No...it's okay."

Jason shook his head slowly and smiled at Charon again.

Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, is the son of one of the five original gods at the beginning of the world, Tartarus, the god of hell and abyss, and Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

Its birth means destruction.

It can even be said that its existence represents destruction!

Therefore, what other gods cannot feel, it... has already felt.

And this calling began a long, long time ago.

Chapter 9: Pay tribute to Artemis! (k)

Shortly after,

When Jason came ashore, he saw Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.

"I heard, little Jason, you offered tribute to Athena, right? ...My mother even sent a messenger to complain to me about this matter, saying that you, little Jason, hadn't even offered her any tribute."

The blonde and golden-eyed Persephone came in front of Jason and said with a smile.

"Did Lady Athena also go to see the goddess Demeter?"

Upon hearing this, Jason couldn't help but look helpless.

"Yes, I heard from Mother that Athena showed off to her. So... where is my tribute?"

Persephone blinked her golden eyes, looked at Jason and chuckled, "You are not unprepared."

"Well... Sister Persephone, I'm really already preparing it. I'll definitely bring it to you next time!"

Hearing this, Persephone knew that Jason had been very busy with this matter recently, so she smiled and did not continue to mention the tribute.

Then, under the guidance of Persephone, it didn't take long for the two to arrive at the door of Hecate's temple.

Persephone knocked on the door and asked the puppet in the temple to inform Hecate that she had arrived.

"How did you come?"

Pushing open the door, Hecate came out, wearing a black long skirt, with black hair down to her waist, and looking a little lazy and unkempt.

After his eyes swept over Persephone, he naturally saw Jason who was looking at him with a smile.

I was stunned for a second.

The next moment.

boom!

The door is closed.

"Teacher, teacher, open the door!"

"No, your teacher is not here!"

Persephone couldn't help laughing as she watched Jason knocking on the door and Hecate screaming angrily inside.

After a while, Hecate, with a not-so-good expression, opened the door and stretched out her hand to Jason.

"Give me the staff."

"No."

Startled, Jason quickly hid behind Persephone.

Hecate was obviously planning to destroy the teleportation magic on the staff, so how could Jason give it to him?

"Alright, alright." Persephone stopped Hecate and said with a smile, "Don't make it hard on him... and I want to see my brother more often."

Hearing this, Hecate knew there was no hope, so she could only glare at Jason fiercely, then turned around and walked inside, looking unhappy.

After Persephone and Jason followed them in, the puppet came and served tea... but there was no portion for Jason.

Jason didn't mind this and skillfully made a cup for Hecate.

"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into outside?"

Hecate gave up and picked up the tea, glaring at Jason.

"Look at what you said, teacher. What trouble can I get into?"

"You'd come back so soon if you hadn't gotten into trouble?"

Hecate was obviously unconvinced.

"This kid didn't really get into any trouble while out there this time... He just got into a lot of trouble."

Persephone smiled and took over the conversation, telling the story of the tribute.

After Hecate finished listening, she frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Jason and asked, "Did Athena tell you to leave me and go to her? ... I didn't expect she would admire you so much."

Jason was stunned when he heard this, then quickly replied: "Teacher, I didn't agree."

"I'm only happy if you agree." Hecate curled her lips. "I'm so happy that you threw the trouble to her."

"No." Hearing this, Jason replied with extraordinary decisiveness: "As the saying goes, a teacher is a father for life. Teacher Hecate, you have been so good to me. You are my second parent. I will never leave you!"

Looking at Jason who spoke to her righteously, Hecate sneered.

If I had said this for three or four years, Hecate might have believed it, but as for now... forget it.

You are a wicked disciple!

"Alright, don't try that on me... Tell me why you came back to see me. As for the tribute, just focus on preparing it. It's certainly troublesome, but if you handle it properly, it will only benefit you."

Hearing what Hecate said, Jason nodded.

"Actually, I'm here this time to offer tribute to Artemis, the moon goddess... Sister Persephone, may I ask you for some seeds? The seeds of the pure white lily, which represents holiness, solemnity, and nobility."

After saying that, after Persephone nodded in confusion, Jason continued to say to Hecate, "And Teacher Hecate, if I remember correctly, there should be some in the laboratory, right? It's the fireworks that Medea and I made with magic during the Chinese New Year last year..."

Soon, I got what I wanted.

A bag filled with white lily seeds and a firework ball made of magic.
