Seeing Jason's pitiful look, Chiron couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Hecate is a kind goddess. She won't let anything happen to you... probably."

Well, Chiron said that he never cared about Jason's constant talk of wanting to drop out of school.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Hecate also smiled and added: "You will die a few times at most. I will go to Hades and resurrect you."

“…” Jason was speechless.

Chapter 7 Jason takes a bath in the Styx

Well, at least you can resurrect yourself after you die, right?

Speaking of it, what does death feel like has always been a mystery. It seems that I have the opportunity to solve this eternal mystery.

Now that things have come to this, Jason can only hold his nose and accept it!

At the same time, Jason felt relieved after Hecate agreed to his request and formally accepted him as a student in the presence of Chiron.

Because this means that he has God as his backer!

Gods all represent trouble, so Jason naturally doesn't want to mess with any of them.

But the young man who traveled through time knew very well in his heart that as Jason, he had no choice but to provoke him.

Then it would be better to just find a god to rely on.

And Hecate obviously also has the ability to protect him from the wind and rain.

"Student Jason, I greet the goddess Hecate, my teacher!"

"What a mess of a name." Looking at Jason who was paying homage to her as a teacher and student, Hecate, who also accepted the greeting, said, "Just call me teacher."

"Then I will take him away." Hecate looked at Chiron.

"Goddess Hecate, won't you take a rest?" Chiron said to Hecate who asked him.

"No time. I have to throw him into the River Styx next."

Jason shuddered slightly, and looked at Hecate, who spoke casually, with wide eyes.

"Throw it into the River Styx?" Chiron was also stunned.

"He's too weak. I can't think of a way to strengthen him. How can he cooperate with me? Even if he dies, it won't matter. But it will be troublesome to find Hades."

At this moment, Jason's little joy disappeared in an instant.

And after this comparison, he felt that Teacher Chiron was simply an angel!

Oh my god, right after I became your disciple, you already want to throw me into the River Styx. Don’t you even give me time to transition or prepare myself mentally?

"Um... Goddess Hecate, this... isn't right."

Chiron, who also felt ashamed, hadn't finished speaking.

"Are you okay? Okay, if you're okay, we'll leave."

But seeing that everything was alright, Hecate finished speaking and saw dark butterflies emitting a faint blue light begin to appear from all directions.

After surrounding Jason and Hecate, the two disappeared in front of Chiron as the Hades butterflies scattered with a bang.

Chiron looked at the empty plain in front of him. After a short silence, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Since Jason knew his own fate, did he also know that the girl was with the goddess Hecate?"

Chiron thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, Jason is very smart. He must have his own plans."

After saying that, Chiron smiled and left.

"Jason I'm looking forward to...your graduation!"

In a trance, when Jason opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a dark world.

The faint blue light embellishes the darkness, and under my feet is a road of no return with white blooming flowers of the other shore, black poplars, and fruitless coconut trees.

Abbreviated as, the road to hell.

"Teacher Hecate, this is..."

"Underworld."

Hecate said simply, "Come on. I will take you on a journey of no return. After you cross the Styx, I will be able to teleport you directly to the underworld."

"Well... Teacher Hecate, we don't have to come to the underworld." Jason's mouth twitched.

"My temple is in the underworld, don't you know?" Hecate looked at Jason, and Jason shook his head.

"Now I know."

After saying this, Hecate started walking.

Jason looked at the desolate environment around him, shivered slightly, and could only hurry to catch up.

Not long after following Hecate, Jason noticed that there were more and more souls wandering around, and most of them were looking at him.

Because Jason was a stranger, if Hecate had not been by his side, these people would have rushed over and torn him to pieces.

Then the two of them arrived at the gate of the underworld.

There, Jason naturally saw Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound guarding the gate.

In the dim light, what appeared before Jason's eyes was Cerberus, a three-headed figure as tall as a hill.

I saw it open its mouth, which was full of sharp fangs.

Just as Jason was looking at it in shock, the three-headed dog of hell noticed Hecate and shrank under Jason's gaze, becoming the size of a puppy.

It came to Hecate and wagged its tail wildly.

Well...the shock just now disappeared in an instant.

"Goddess Hecate, you are back."

"Well, he's back... Did you see him?" Hecate pointed at Jason and said to Cerberus, "Go, remember his scent. If you see his soul after death, protect it for me."

"Lady Goddess Hecate, he is..."

"My new student."

After Hecate finished speaking, Cerberus's fierce look at Jason, which had been suspicious for a long time, suddenly became close.

"That's the new little master I'll be looking after from now on, right?"

Cerberus stepped forward, sniffed Jason's scent, then nodded and said, "Okay, Cerberus will remember that!"

So Hecate took Jason into the gate of the underworld and came to the turbulent black river, the Styx - the river of pain.

There is a small boat in front of the River Styx, and on the boat sits a skeleton man with a hand holding the boat. There are blue flames in the man's eyes. He is none other than Charon, the ferry god of the River Styx.

"Goddess Hecate, why are you here?"

As he spoke, Charon, the ferry god, naturally saw Jason and found that he was a stranger, so he asked curiously: "And this child, he is..."

"My student, Jason."

"So he is your student, Goddess Hecate." Charon was surprised to hear this, but he accepted it and said, "Then you brought him here to cross the river, I understand."

As he spoke, Charon was about to untie the ropes that bound the ship.

"Wait a minute." Hecate said, turned to look at Jason, stretched out her hand, and a beautiful dark butterfly appeared in her white palm.

Then the dark butterflies took off and danced around Jason.

The dark light that emanated from it merged into Jason's body.

A short time passed, and after the Dark Butterfly returned to Hecate's hand and disappeared, Hecate looked at Jason for a moment, nodded, and said, "Go down."

Jason looked at Hecate, then looked at the turbulent black river in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and jumped into the Styx.

"This kid... is really good."

Charon couldn't help but speak after taking in the situation.

"Yeah." Hecate also nodded.

Jason, who jumped into the River Styx, had already prepared himself to endure the pain of the river washing over his body.

But as time passed, he felt no pain at all.

In fact, this is very painful, because since it is the River Styx, it naturally has the effects of corrosion and erosion.

Such pain is almost unbearable for humans, but Hecate directly saved Jason from such pain.

Then Jason discovered that there was a faint blue light protecting him, which was the dust just sprinkled by the Dark Butterfly.

Then Jason looked at Hecate, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, sank down, and immersed his whole body in the Styx.

In the river, let the Styx wash over you.

One minute, two minutes... After several minutes passed, just when Jason could no longer hold it, Hecate took action and rescued Jason from the River Styx.

"Hmm... not bad."

After they pulled Jason ashore, Hecate looked at him dripping wet and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Now you're finally stronger."

"Hmm... um, am I immortal now?"

Jason said without any sense of reality.

"Immortality?... Well, ordinary swords can't hurt you anymore, but your body is so powerful that even a god could break it with his divine power."

If there really is an immortal body that even gods cannot break, all the gods would have come to take a bath in the Styx long ago.

The so-called immortality only applies to humans.

Jason thought about it and felt that this was indeed more reasonable.

But Jason was still very happy in his heart. After all, he had obtained the legendary immortality without doing anything.

So he said to Hecate gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Hecate!"

"It's okay." Hecate waved her hand, "If you were more reliable, I wouldn't kill you so easily."

After he finished speaking, Jason's gratitude towards Hecate instantly faded.

Charon, who was listening on the side, was also speechless.

But he had actually guessed the reason why Hecate accepted a disciple a long time ago.

Because almost all the gods who know Hecate know that Hecate is a research maniac and has no interest in the throne, power, or anything like that.

Therefore, Jason is obviously Hecate's new experimental subject.

But even if it is an experimental subject, with Hecate's strength, the existence created by her will definitely be a monster!

"Let's go." After completing her rough goal, Hecate said, "It might be a bit painful next. Don't die so easily."

"A little painful?" Jason was stunned.

Not finished yet?

"The River of Pain can only cleanse your body, but it cannot temper your soul." Hecate said: "Since you want to learn magic from me, it means that your soul must reach the level of being able to withstand the 'Word of God'.

Next I will take you to the River of Fire - Pilifulegoton.

Let the eternal fire of the underworld burn and temper your soul!"

Chapter 8 Jason didn’t know whether this was lucky or unfortunate!

The River of Fire - the land of Pilifulegoton.

The Spirit of the River of Fire, a red-haired queen with flames on her body, looked beside her after learning about Hecate's intentions.

Jason is a twelve-year-old blond and blue-eyed boy.

He couldn't help but say speechlessly, "Do you want to kill this child? Not to mention this child, you should know that even some gods cannot withstand the burning of the immortal underworld fire on their souls!"

There are five rivers in the underworld.

Acheron, the river of pain ferried by the ferryman Charon.

The River of Forgotten, Rite.

The river of fire, Pilifulegoton.
