Is it over?... No, this is the beginning!

'You are being targeted by the most troublesome Goddess, Athena!'

When Hecate finished speaking, Jason, who registered this thought, couldn't help but show a look that is saying that he is crying out tears in his heart.

'I... It wasn't even me who wasted her plans, how can this be blamed on my head!'

Jason couldn't help but feel very depressed in his heart.

Obviously, he didn't doubt Hecate's words, because Jason knows just how stingy the Greek gods are.

He was getting continuously more depressed for a while, but looking at Hecate who is snickering in front of him, Jason, originally in exasperation, suddenly showed a dazzling smile.

In an unusually well-behaved tone, he said to Hecate, "Teacher Hecate, you see, that I am your student and a believer who believes in you the most..."

"Don't try using this on me." Looking at Jason, who is pitifully looking back at her, Hecate angrily knocked on his head: "I'm not interested in joining those games, I hid in the underworld to avoid them, so if you have brought trouble upon yourself, you can solve it by yourself after graduation!"

"But is this not because, teacher, you asked me to find Goddess Persephone..."

"Huh?!" Looking at whispering Jason, Hecate slightly raised her voice.

And Jason quickly closed his mouth.

"Tell me, have I recently been too nice to you?" Then, Hecate lightly pinched Jason's face.

"I feel like you've been getting less and less respectful to me lately..."

Indeed not very respectful, but at the same time, a lot closer.

After starting his apprenticeship with Hecate, almost half of a year has passed.

And in the past half-year, Jason has also roughly understood Hecate's character.

Although Hecate always gives a feeling of being unreliable to Jason, on the contrary, she is actually quite reliable.

It is just that Hecate doesn't really care about many things, so most of her actions seem unusually casual on the surface.

Moreover, in terms of strength, status, and even wisdom, Hecate is actually quite extraordinary!

However, recently, what has really made Jason gradually let go of his sense of awe towards Hecate is his brief conversation with Hecate that night.

At that time Hecate has clearly stated that she also feels that gods are troublesome!

Therefore for the first time after getting transmigrated to this world, Jason felt that he has come across an intimate friend!

Although, she is also a god herself.

"Then, Teacher Hecate, are we not leaving now?" Jason saw that the topic is not going well for him, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Well..." After releasing Jason's face, Hecate thought for a while, then looked at Jason again, and finally slightly shook her head while saying: "Forget it, although I was originally thinking about hiding you till this matter is over then take you away,... since you've already come all the way here and made a long journey for this..."

After speaking, Hecate raised her right hand, and a beautiful magic wand appeared in her hand.

This is the first time Jason had seen Hecate use a magic wand, as the strongest power he has seen her use till now are the 'God words'.

But this time, she needs to deceive a god, and that too one of the Olympians, Hecate will naturally be more serious.

Immediately, Hecate chanted a spell before blessing herself and Jason with magic, then directly teleported with Jason to the place where Hermes and the Golden Horned Deer are waiting while hiding in the shadows of the moonlit night.

When Hecate and Jason appeared, Hermes seemed to have sensed something and looked around, but even he couldn't see through Hecate's magic.

Just as Hermes was frowning slightly, Persephone, who was urging the flying shoes with divine power, arrived here.

Under the influence of Hades' invisibility helmet, she easily passed through the barrier that Demeter set for her.

Finally leaving the mountains where Demeter's eyeliners are all over the place!

And the moment she appeared and took off the invisibility helmet, the earth impatiently cracked open, then the endless darkness swallowed that patch of land!

The golden-horned deer and Jason subconsciously panicked for a while, but there are gods standing beside them, so everything was naturally fine.

Immediately, just as Jason stabilized his mind and was about to ask Hecate about what is happening.

Suddenly, he heard the neighing of horses then the sound that seemed like the horses are treading on the ground.

Then, Jason saw that from the cracked earth, four dark horses covered in the burning flames of the underworld, pulling the chariot of Hades emerged on the ground!

"Did you really think that Apollo, Artemis, and Athena have acted at the same time, just to cover for you?"

Just as Jason was watching this scene in surprise, Hecate whispers reached his ears.

So, Jason, who was stunned, upon seeing that the carriage has stopped, naturally understood the reason in his heart.

'Hades has arrived...'

Hades, the King of Underworld, has come to meet his wife in person!

In fact, this is somewhat obvious, because only in this way will it be worth the simultaneous action of the four main gods to help in covering up this event!

******

And almost at the same moment as Hades has appeared, on Mount Olympus, Demeter, who was meeting with Athena, Artemis, and Apollo, suddenly stood up.

Then she abruptly tilted her head to look at the place where Persephone is hidden, then her expression changed slightly.

"The breath that just appeared around that land is... Hades!"

Demeter is the Goddess of Agriculture, Grain, and Harvest, but she is not a weak Goddess at all.

Incidentally, she is also the older sister of Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus!

So, who Hades is robbing is his niece...

As for who is the father of Persephone, it is Zeus...

One can only say that this type of happening is the norm in the Greek Age of Gods!

"How did Hades suddenly appear... wait, the other divine power is... Persephone?! How could it be, how could she have left the temple without me knowing, how could it be, and it was so coincidental that I just wasn't there..."

Demeter, who spoke till here with her eyes wide open, quickly realized that something is wrong, and her expression instantly changed!

After reacting, she couldn't help but glare at Athena and the others.

And the three people, who were just now conversing and laughing with her, have turned their eyes away at the same time and are not looking at her.

"You... you all, I...!"

Therefore, how could Demeter still not understand the current situation; however, she didn't stop anymore, rather she hurriedly got up and left the place.

Obviously, Athena and others won't stop her now.

After all, at this time, Hades had already met with Persephone, and everything had become a foregone conclusion.

"It's over?" After Demeter left, Artemis curiously asked.

"Well, it's over." Athena nodded: "That child succeeded."

Apollo also said: "I just sensed, the divine power in the sword I have lent him has been blocked, I think Hecate should have come to receive that child, he is safe now."

"In other words... this matter is also over?" Artemis, who hadn't left anything directly on Jason, tilted her head and asked again.

"Yes, it went well."

Athena smiled, then looked at Artemis, and smiled even more brilliantly: "Then... Artemis, we should also settle our accounts!"

"Accounts, what accounts?" Artemis is at a loss about what Athena is referring to.

"You really think I don't know, it's you who has disclosed my identity to that child?"

Athena lightly gritted her teeth and continued: "Even though, I have exhorted you again and again... Do you know how much I was looking forward to getting back at him, that child has made me fail more than ten times in a row!"

"Eh? how do you know that I have told Jason about you?!"

Apollo looked at Artemis who has just naturally confessed her doings, then couldn't help but shake his head before leaving this place while holding his lyre.

******

At about the same moment, Hades has invited Persephone into the carriage, then he glanced in the direction of Hecate and nodded lightly, before driving the carriage into Underworld.

Slowly, the cracked earth also returned to normal.

"Um, it's time for us to go. I can feel that Demeter is rushing this way with all her strength."

Hecate touched Jason's head and continued: "Next... it's time for you to pick it up, the fruit of your labor!"
