Because at this time, several people's names had already been left on the mountain.
Those who left their names, especially the one who was currently the tallest, would show off their achievements and how powerful they were when they caught someone.
As for the people below him, their faces were filled with resentment and unwillingness to accept the defeat. Each of them was trying their best to surpass him!
Just like that, it didn't take too long, less than a week, for the news to spread completely.
More and more people come to watch the fun, and at the same time, more and more people come to challenge this project, wanting to leave their names at the highest point and look down on the world.
So, Jason spent nearly half a month watching the bustling crowd gathered here at night.
Playing the beautiful piano music, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
Just as he disappeared into the night, not long after he left, the old woman transformed by Rhea came to Jason.
Jason saluted her with a smile and said, "I have completed the task you assigned to me, old woman... Although no one is capable of pushing this huge rock to the top of the mountain yet, one day, that person will appear."
Yes, it will definitely appear.
Even if he doesn't show up, Jason can notify his senior brother Hercules and others and ask them to come and push the stone up.
Rhea looked at Jason who was smiling in front of her, then looked at the fire in the distance, and couldn't help but be silent for a while.
"Child, can you tell me what is going on?"
Then, Rhea couldn't help but asked Jason in confusion.
Although she had been watching everything that happened, but... it could only be said that this outburst developed too quickly, so much so that she was a little confused!
But Rhea could still understand that Jason had completed his mission, because if the trend continued, a hero like Jason who had the help of gods to complete the impossible mission would eventually appear.
"What on earth did you...do?"
"Did I do anything? ... Actually, I didn't do anything. This is just the inevitable result as the number of people increases."
Jason explained softly to Rhea, "Because where there are people, there will inevitably be competition, and where there is competition, there will inevitably be gaps.
The emergence of a gap becomes a source of capital for showing off, and that is... glory.
Just as everyone wants to be a hero and have their name passed down through the ages.
Old woman, tell me, will the name carved on this mountaintop... also be passed down through the ages?"
Jason's words made Rhea's eyes slowly widen, because this explanation was already obvious.
Simply put, Jason gave meaning to this meaningless thing, and even turned it into what it is today, allowing the hero to show off one of his great achievements!
As for how Jason came up with the idea of doing this... I can only say that there is too much toxic chicken soup in modern society.
As a good boy who was once influenced by the Internet, Jason actually did something similar when he was looking for a hunter for himself.
"Old woman, can you now tell me the oracle given to me by Athena, the goddess of wisdom?"
While Rhea was looking at Jason in shock, Jason was also looking at her expectantly, waiting for the oracle from Athena regarding the tribute to Apollo, the god of light!
Chapter 96 The Most Tragic Male God
Give meaning to meaningless things.
They even turned this punishment into a heroic feat and made it glorious.
Did Jason help the man named Sisyphus to push the boulder?
Obviously, he helped Sisyphus, or even saved him!
So, did Jason disobey the gods' decision and offend them?
No, he didn't.
Because he did not touch the boulder from beginning to end, even if the gods reacted, they still could not convict Jason.
Rhea was silent, she looked deeply at Jason in front of her.
Then she stepped out from the shadows of the moonlit trees.
When her figure completely appeared in front of Jason, Jason was finally able to glimpse Rhea's true appearance, instead of a silver-haired old woman.
Then Jason was stunned.
At this moment, the person appearing in Jason's emerald eyes was a noble lady in a dark purple dress.
She has a pair of beautiful amethyst eyes and dazzling golden hair.
Of course, these were not the reasons that stunned Jason. What really stunned him was that this man's face...he was very familiar with it!
Because his appearance is very similar to that of his teacher, the god of craftsmen Hephaestus, and the queen of heaven Hera from Jason's memory!
"Don't worry, kid, I'm not who you think I am."
Then Rhea looked at Jason, whose eyes widened slightly. As if guessing what he was thinking, she walked forward and said with a gentle smile, "Hera is still on Mount Olympus... She probably won't find you anytime soon."
Hearing this, Jason finally felt relieved.
Just now, Jason thought the person in front of him was Hera and almost had a heart attack...
No, wait? Hera...the child?
Jason blinked and looked at Rhea in confusion.
"Kid, you're even better than I thought... No wonder all my kids like you so much."
Rhea came to Jason, touched Jason's head with her hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will secretly reconcile your relationship with Hera's child... Hera's child is just unwilling to let you be taken away. She actually likes you very much, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry.
Oh yeah, my name is Rhea... Do you know me?"
Hearing this, Jason looked at Rhea who blinked at him and opened his mouth speechlessly.
It was as if a huge wave was rising in my heart!
…Oh my god.
Looking at the noble and beautiful woman in front of him, Jason couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Obviously he already deeply understood who this goddess was!
Although Jason doesn't know much about Greek mythology, don't forget that before coming here, Jason asked Chiron to tutor him on the knowledge of this world.
Therefore, with the help of the Centaur sage Chiron, Jason already had an impression of most of the gods in this world.
This person is called Rhea, and she calls Hera and the others children... So it is obvious that she must be the former Queen of Heaven, the mother of Zeus and the others, that Rhea!
Oh my god, how did such an ancient god appear, and his target... was me?!
Jason was trembling slightly, obviously afraid...
No, wait a minute.
But soon, Jason reacted and looked at Rhea.
Wait, this person is...Zeus and his mother?
"Of course I know you, noble and beautiful goddess Rhea."
Jason, having regained his composure, immediately performed the most noble etiquette towards Rhea and said to her earnestly, "Because I have heard your noble name from my teacher, Chiron!"
"Chiron...that child."
Hearing this, Rhea nodded in understanding, then smiled and said to Jason, "I'm glad you know... I haven't appeared for so long, I thought no one would recognize me."
"No, how is that possible? Goddess Rhea, your name has always been widely known in the world, and the world has always respected and loved you!"
"What about you, little Jason?" Rhea looked at Jason with a smile.
"It must be the greatest honor of my life to meet you, the noble goddess!" Hearing Jason's answer, Rhea chuckled happily.
"It seems like that Hecate kid has a wonderful child... No wonder so many kids are vying for you."
Rhea said, patting Jason's head again.
Then Rhea took two steps back and said to Jason with a smile: "Well, my child, you have stayed here for a long time. It is time to continue your journey. As for the oracle given to you by Athena..."
Having said that, Rhea paused slightly.
Then the next second, Athena's sweet voice rang clearly in Jason's ears.
"Apollo, the god of light, is the twin brother of Artemis, the moon goddess. Legend has it that when he was born, swans flew around him seven times. The nine most talented Muses also loved him and often accompanied him.
He represents the light of the world, has the most handsome face in the world, is the most beautiful man in the world, and is the most dazzling male god among all the gods. Even the king of gods Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon feel inferior to Apollo.
And this is Apollo, the god of light.
In this world, no one can reach the charm of Apollo. He can get almost everything he wants, but...
Listen up, Jason.
Apollo, the god of light, although he is the most dazzling and seemingly happiest god, but in fact... he is the most miserable god!
Because the thing he wanted most, he never got!"
Although he is the most dazzling and seemingly the happiest god, he is actually the most miserable god...
When the oracle voice of Athena to Jason disappeared, doubts appeared in Jason's eyes.
At the same time, I felt a little helpless.
He could see that Athena was clearly enjoying this 'game'. Last time with Hephaestus, she had to make her words sound like riddles. Wasn't that tiring...?
But at the same time, Jason also understood that the oracle given by Athena must be reliable.
So it is obvious that the thing he wanted most, he never got... This is obviously the key!
Just as Jason was thinking about this, his face was suddenly illuminated by the light of the flame, and he subconsciously looked up.
Jason saw Rhea, a beautiful woman, who had made a fire with her hands, and sat down beside it, smiling at him.
Such a familiar scene instantly disrupted Jason's train of thought, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch slightly.
No, you have to come too!
Chapter 3: Athena and Ares' Bet! (k)
Most of the Greek gods are actually...really free.
And the desire to compare is extremely strong!
Although the former God King and Queen, the now retired Goddess Rhea has become much less concerned about this aspect.
But with Athena's good example, he later met Hestia, Hephaestus, Hecate, and Atalanta who was replaced by Artemis.
Just as Artemis said at the beginning, Athena and Hestia both gave such a gift, so I want to give it too!
Then Rhea naturally had this idea.
Of course, there is still a prerequisite for this matter, that is, favorability.
And it was obvious that Rhea was very satisfied with the answer given by Jason and had a very good impression of Jason.
That's why she took the initiative to suggest that she would neutralize the relationship between Jason and Hera.
Jason was helpless about this, and he inexplicably felt that there might be more and more days like this in the future, which made him feel a slight headache.
But he still accepted Rhea's gift... He would be a fool not to accept it.
So, the hero Jason, dressed in white, with golden hair and golden eyes, fell asleep again on the goddess' legs and under the goddess's soft singing.
The next day, when Jason woke up, it was already daybreak.
And the goddess Rhea has also left.
Just as she said, she had wasted too much of Jason's time, and it was time to let Jason continue on his journey.
After all, if she didn't let Jason go, her daughters and granddaughters would get angry with her...
On a bright morning, Jason was awakened by the golden-horned deer gently rubbing his cheek.
Jason opened his sleepy emerald eyes and saw the golden-horned deer in front of him. He stood up and looked around, then smiled and touched the golden-horned deer and said, "Good morning, Sister Deer."
The golden-horned deer cried softly and came to Jason's side and squatted down.
When Jason sat on it, he was a little surprised that the golden-horned deer adjusted its direction and started walking directly.
"Sister Lu, before I go to Apollona, the God of Light, is there anywhere else I need to go?"
The golden-horned deer nodded.
