"How could I say such nonsense?" Rhea patted Athena's head and said with a smile: "Although you usually care about those children, compared with little Jason, it's completely different!
And I've heard that you've tried to get Jason to follow you time and time again, and even secretly went to see Hecate, but she ignored you completely."
"Because Jason is a good boy. Don't you, Grandma Rhea, like him very much now?"
"Yeah...that's true." Rhea nodded without denying it and said with a smile, "After meeting him this time, I finally understand why you kids are suddenly so focused on him. He really is special."
"Yeah...it's a pity that Hecate got there first, otherwise!" Athena said, pouting and glaring in the direction Ares left.
Apparently, he holds a grudge against Ares...
To be precise, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to cause trouble for Jason, Athena almost couldn't help but fight with Ares again.
What is not my child...I'm telling you the truth!
"What do you mean by being taken away by Hecate? If I remember correctly, even if Hecate didn't take him away, he would still be Hera's child."
After Rhea finished speaking, she looked at Athena who was looking at her with dissatisfaction, and Rhea couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, go ahead and make a fuss and fight. I won't say anything more. But... can little Jason really defeat the dragon guarding the Sacred Garden of the Golden Apple?"
In response to Rhea's curious question, Athena shook her head and said, "I don't know, because normally speaking... it's almost impossible."
After saying this, Athena continued, under Rhea's slightly surprised gaze, "Although little Jason has grown a lot since three years ago, facing the hundred-headed dragon Ladon... he has almost no chance of winning, without using our power!"
"Oh...so how are you going to help him?"
"I won't take action this time."
To Rhea's surprise, Athena shook her head.
"What, you're not going to do anything?" Rhea looked surprised.
"That's right... Not only am I not taking action, but everyone else must not take action this time, because only in this way can we offer a tribute worthy of Ares!"
Upon hearing this, Rhea frowned.
Athena looked at Rhea like this, thought for a moment, and then said to her, "Grandmother Rhea, do you know how I first met that child?"
"The kid was certainly likable, but if that was all I would not have taken him so seriously... I will never forget that scene."
Athena whispered to Rhea, "When everything became a foregone conclusion, the moment he could no longer avoid it, the temporary light he released..."
Athena was talking about the first time Jason killed someone.
When faced with thieves with nowhere to hide, Jason drew his sword and killed them all. After killing them all, he ran aside and vomited because of his first murder...
It was at that time that Athena was deeply attracted to Jason.
"Grandma Rhea has been through this, and I think you're well aware of it, right? ...That child always gives us different surprises."
Athena smiled and said to Rhea, "So he will defeat the hundred-headed dragon Ladon... We just have to watch."
Athena obviously has full confidence in Jason.
But if Jason were here, he would probably say to Athena with a tearful expression, "Thank you so much, Athena!"
......
......
The next day, Jason looked at Hermes, the messenger of the gods, with disgust.
And from his mouth, a new oracle was obtained.
That is to find the Holy Garden of the Golden Apple within a week, go there and obtain the golden apple.
And without the help of Apollo, Artemis and other gods, he personally defeated Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon guarding the Golden Apple Sacred Garden.
Pay tribute to Ares, the god of war and one of the twelve Olympian gods!

PS: First chapter today.
Chapter 3: Ares was fooled! (k)
Pay tribute to Ares, the god of war...
Get the golden apple and defeat the guardian of the sacred garden of the golden apple, the hundred-headed dragon Ladon?
When Jason received this news from Hermes, the messenger of the gods, he naturally frowned.
Especially when he learned that Athena and other gods would not help this time, and even forbade the use of weapons given by the gods, Jason became even more silent.
"...I understand. Thank you for passing it on to Hermes-sama."
Jason then responded calmly, and after a slight pause, he asked Hermes, "By the way, Master Hermes, I wonder about Master Apollo..."
"Don't worry, he already knows."
"Really? That's good." Jason nodded.
Then, after Hermes left, the golden-horned deer looked at the silent Jason, who was lost in thought, and rubbed against Jason with a soft call.
Jason came back to his senses, smiled and touched the golden-horned deer, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something... The gods will not provide any help to Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon guarding the golden apples this time..."
Jason muttered softly, his expression appearing calm.
Didn't he know what a terrifying monster the hundred-headed dragon Ladon was? ... Jason didn't recognize him, but since he was a tribute to the god of war, Ares, he was obviously no ordinary character.
It is even very likely that he is no weaker than Argus, the hundred-eyed giant who guarded Io and offered tribute to Hermes, the messenger of the gods!
So while thinking, Jason took out the staff.
After looking at the staff in his hand for a while, he put it away.
After taking out the direction guide given by Athena and confirming that the artifact could still be used, Jason seemed to relax a little.
"Sister Lu, can you do me a favor? ... Please take me to my teacher, the Centaur Sage Chiron, as quickly as you can, okay?"
The golden-horned deer nodded to Jason, asked him to sit steadily, grabbed its neck, and then started running.
Jason did not know how far the journey was, but after a day and a night, he arrived at Chiron's cave.
Chiron, who had sensed Jason's presence early on, appeared in front of him as soon as Jason arrived.
"Teacher, long time no see." Jason said softly.
Chiron was slightly stunned when he saw Jason, who looked calm in front of him.
"Come in, child."
Chiron, sensing something, brought Jason back to the cave.
After the two of them arrived at the room, Chiron asked Jason, "What happened?"
"Yeah." Jason nodded and calmly said that he was going to fight with the hundred-headed dragon Ladon next.
At the end, Jason looked at Chiron and asked him, "Teacher Chiron, can you tell me...who are the parents of the hundred-headed dragon Ladon?"
"Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon guarding the Sacred Garden of the Golden Apples?"
Chiron was silent for a moment, then frowned at Jason and said, "What do you want to do, child?"
"Nothing, I was just seriously thinking about how to defeat it." Jason looked at Chiron and said calmly: "It seems that my guess was right... It is the son of Typhon, right, teacher?"
"...Yes." Chiron nodded to Jason, "It is indeed the son of Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, just like Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell!"
"Is that so?" Jason nodded. After a brief pause, he asked, "Then, teacher, do you have any ideas to help me defeat it?"
"...If it's only a week, it's almost impossible."
Chiron thought for a long time and finally shook his head at Jason.
"That's it..."
After Jason nodded, he looked at Chiron who was looking at him worriedly, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I'm fine... and if I found that I had no chance of winning, I would not fight with Ladon."
Chiron was stunned when he heard this, and looking at Jason in front of him, he couldn't help laughing for a long time.
"By the way, Teacher Chiron, speaking of which...where is Senior Brother Asclepius?" Jason looked left and right and asked to change the subject.
"He has also come out of the mountain." Chiron said, pausing for a moment, "And when he came out of the mountain, I heard him say that his medicine was almost finished."
"Really?" Jason seemed a little surprised when he heard this. "The medicine that can bring the dead back to life is almost ready?"
"Yeah." Chiron nodded and said with a smile: "If he can really do it... then his medical skills are far superior to mine."
"Hey, Teacher Chiron, what you said is true. Brother Asclepius' medical skills have long surpassed yours." After Jason finished speaking, he found that Chiron's eyes looking at him became a little unfriendly.
"Ahem, teacher Chiron, I just remembered I have something else to do... Oh, I've been out for so long, I should go back to see teacher Hecate!"
With that, Jason stood up and prepared to run.
"Wait a minute, kid, the teacher wants to ask you something.
The 'Hercules' that has been sung about by bards recently, the one dressed in white, with blond hair and blue eyes, riding a holy Pegasus, beheading Chimera, defeating Antaeus, and the snake demon Lamia... is you, right? "
"Hey, teacher, what are you talking about?" Jason blinked at Chiron with a confused and innocent look on his face. "I don't understand. How could I possibly do such a thing? Since he said his name is Hercules, he must be my senior brother!
...Ah! Enough, enough, teacher, I'm in a hurry!"
After saying this, Jason ran out immediately, ignoring Chiron who was laughing helplessly.
Can this be admitted? ...This is obviously unacceptable!
Even if the answer is obvious, I will never admit it!
"This kid... I was thinking of asking them to supervise him, but I didn't expect that even after growing up, he's still the same as when he was little, getting into trouble whenever he goes out."
Looking at Jason's departing figure, Chiron in the room couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"That child should have gone to Hecate by now... From this perspective, letting this child become Hecate's child without Hera knowing was indeed a wise decision!"
Chiron muttered and nodded.
By the way, Jason may really not know that he is the child of Queen Hera. After all, gods always like to disguise themselves and reveal the mystery at the end.
But Chiron... there's no way he didn't know!
After bidding farewell to Chiron, Jason came to the underworld with the support of the Hades butterfly... The bet between Athena and Ares was that the gods of Olympus could not help Jason, but the waters in the underworld were very deep.
Although Hades and Pluto are members of the Olympian pantheon, the most crucial one, Hecate, is not a member of the Olympian pantheon!
This was the backup plan Athena left for Jason.
With the gods from the underworld and Hecate watching, it would be difficult for Jason to die in his battle with the hundred-headed dragon Ladon!
As long as Jason is alive, even if the tribute is not offered this time, he can find another opportunity to offer it next time.
As for the penalty for failure...
In fact, Athena doesn't care at all.
Ares was fooled!
Athena said Ares won, so she publicly told the gods that she could not defeat Ares and would never see Ares again.
But in fact, all the gods knew whether she could defeat Ares.
After all, the two had fought several times, and each time Athena was pinned to the ground and rubbed.
As for not seeing Ares, Athena herself is actually looking forward to it!
If Athena wins, Ares will not be able to tell Hera, the Queen of Heaven, about Jason from today on.
And in addition to completing the tribute offered to him, Ares also had to give his belt of war to Athena.
But please think carefully about this: did Ares gain anything from this tribute? ... Actually, he gained nothing.
If Jason succeeded, he would have only watched a battle, but would have had to pay with his own belt of war.
But the problem is that everyone except Hera is waiting to watch this battle, and Ares can't enjoy it alone...
This Athena is obviously trying to trick him!
The key point is that Ares himself still thinks it makes sense. He is the god of war, so Jason should indeed present him with a battle with a huge disparity in power.
But Ares deserved it. It was his fault that he took advantage of the pain in Athena's heart and kept rubbing salt into the wound. It would be strange if Athena didn't cheat him!
In short, when Jason came to the underworld and arrived at the gate of the underworld, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because at this moment, in addition to the three-headed hellhound, there was another person guarding the gate...ah, no, it should be said that it was a dog.
