32 Medea, let's become brothers and sisters!

[T/N: Original author has a habit of explaining things after a few chapters, which is both good and bad at times, so although I still dislike spoilers, if someone wants to know the complete reason behind Jason making such a decision, it is in Author's notes, which at least from my perspective isn't completely idiotic.]

After a few days.

Underworld, in the hall of Hecate's temple.

The God of Light, God Apollo's sword can be seen being used as a chandelier by Hecate to hang over the hall at this moment.

And under the divine power of the sword of the God of Light, God Apollo, the gloomy aura of the underworld in this area is blown away.

In the afternoon.

Medea has gone out to finish the task that Hecate has given her.

As for Jason, he is naturally staying in the temple guarded by Hecate.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Hecate, when are we going to Sister Flame Spirit?"

Flame Spirit is the spirit of one of the five rivers in the underworld, she is born in the unquenchable flames of the river of blazing flames, Pyriphlegethon.

"Let's not be in rush... Persephone and Hades' wedding will take a while to wrap up, and I have to observe the situation for a while."

"Observe?" Jason asked while blinking in doubt: "Observe what?"

Hecate glanced at Jason but didn't say anything more.

Since Jason doesn't remember the 'paths', Hecate naturally wouldn't tell him. As for him losing consciousness that day, she has also found a reason to deal with it.

"Um... is it finally here?"

At this moment, Hecate seemed to have noticed something and looked outside the temple, then after frowning for a while, her expression returned to normal.

"Jason, get ready... a guest is coming."

And not long after Hecate's words fell, the Messenger of Gods, the messenger of God King Zeus, God Hermes arrived here.

"Long time no see, Goddess Hecate."

While entering the temple, Hermes took off his headwear and greeted Hecate with a smile.

"Just a few days is just a moment for us, isn't it?"

Hecate said while both sat down in front of each other.

Then Jason entered the hall, bringing them refreshments.

"Although it has only been a few days, these last few days have been more impressive than the last few years... And, speaking of which, Jason, if I'm not mistaken, that thing hanging from the ceiling of this hall is Apollo's sword, right?"

"Well... yes, God Hermes." Jason admitted while being a little embarrassed.

"I did it." Hecate calmly added: "After all, he is a living person, not a dead spirit. This light can dispel the dark aura in this area, which is just right for him and Medea... Then Hermes, what are you here for?"

"You should have felt that too? A few days ago, Great Father God was really angry."

"I know, that's why I've been waiting for you... Jason, go back to your room first."

Through a short judgment, Hecate has confirmed that although Hermes has looked at Jason a few more times than normal after he entered the temple, he did not show any hostility or other similar emotions.

So now, Hecate has basically guessed in her heart that Jason's possible fates haven't been disclosed.

Jason left obediently, and after about an hour passed, a puppet came to him and brought him into the hall.

At this moment, through the conversation with Hermes, Hecate, who has understood the recent situation, has completely relaxed.

Just as she had guessed, even if the Three Goddesses of Fate have personally tried to look for it, the fate they saw was a more probable one!

Still, from what Hecate has heard from Hermes, she feels it is... really a little funny that the three Goddesses of Fate actually saw Jason, but not as a Godslayer, rather as a hero.

"Teacher, is God Hermes gone?"

"Um." Hecate nodded, then looked at Jason in front of her.

Then, even though she was in a good mood just now, she began feeling irritable again.

Hecate hates trouble...in this regard, she's a lot like Jason!

But now, whether it is becoming the favorite of the gods, becoming a Godslayer, or becoming a mortal who has given up, no matter which path, it is giving her a headache!

At the same time, no matter how troublesome Hecate feels, she still has to hold her breath and deal with it.

'After all, who told me to peep at Jason's miracles, just to satisfy my curiosity; furthermore, now, I am also his teacher.'

Thinking like this, Hecate, who was only feeling more annoyed, suddenly reached out to Jason, who has just walked over, and pinched his face then began squeezing it.

"That, Teacher Hecate, it hurts..."

"Then, bear with it!"

Jason has no choice but to stand there and let Hecate vent, at the same time he is very puzzled in his heart while thinking about how did he make Hecate angry.

And Hecate pinched his face a few times and noticed that Jason isn't resisting, she soon lost interest.

"Do you know why I have punished you?"

"That...because of Medea?" Jason thought for a while the cautiously asked.

"No, right now, I'm not interested in interfering in the matters of you two; however,... although I'm also your teacher now, it doesn't mean I'll just watch you bully Medea, understood?"

Hecate said while squinting at Jason.

"Teacher, I really haven't done anything like that, and I really don't dare to!"

"Oh, you dare not..." Hecate wanted to say something, but then she thought of Jason and Medea's interaction till now and found that he really hasn't done something like that...

"Um, then, now, I am asking you, do you know the Queen of Gods, Hera?"

"I know, is something wrong?"

"You have mortally offended her... and now both Demeter and Hera are watching for you, so be careful while going out."

'...? ? ?'

Jason's eyes widened in surprise.

'What is this situation? How did I offend Hera?! I really haven't done much except for eating and sleeping for the past two days!'

"Weren't you before a Hera's follower? She has secretly helped you survive the pursuit and led you to Chiron's school, but now you have become my student as well as my believer, so you tell me, have you mortally offended her or not."

'What, I'm a follower of Hera?! ...Wait a minute, it seems there is a memory of this original Jason's parents being Hera's follower... I'm going to die in a ditch!'

It is normal for Jason to not know that he has been regarded as Hera's believer, after all, Hera herself has admitted that she has been helping secretly; moreover, whenever she has appeared in front of Jason, she would pretend to be an old woman or other human and show him the way.

But for Greek Gods, this is enough to make that mortal their believer, otherwise... anyway, not every mortal helped by them has the potential of becoming a hero.

"I have heard from Hermes that she has been secretly paying attention to you, and she was going to give you shelter after you have grown up..." While speaking this, Hecate couldn't help showing an expression to Jason that is clearly implying: 'You are quite brave, Jason.'

And the more Jason heard, the more he wanted to fall into depression.

Because Jason knows that the Greek Gods have a set of characteristics in common, which is that most of them are stingy, petty, and mean-spirited!

Moreover, even among all gods, Hera is one of the most mean-spirited Goddesses, otherwise, she would not torture Hercules like that for such a long time!

'...'

"My good student, now, don't bother saying something like you want to change the Goddess you believe in or believe in one more Goddess."

Hecate narrowed her eyes and smiled at Jason who was clearly hesitating to speak.

'You've caused me so much trouble, and now want to believe in other gods?'

'Dream on!'

"Of course, teacher, I won't dare to... By the way, teacher, you wouldn't just watch your student have an accident, would you?" Jason pitifully looked at Hecate.

"It's alright." Hecate said lightly: "After letting the unquenchable fire temper your soul, if the gods don't directly take action against you, your soul won't get destroyed.'

"When that time comes and you enter Underworld after dying, as also the Goddess of Ghost, I will employ you to be the eternal security guard of my temple."

"It will also save me from getting into trouble every time I go out."

Jason couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

'Security Guard? Eternal Job? ...Never!'

"Yeah, why don't I just stop doing this, then go home and become a farmer." Jason muttered with an expression that is full of lovelessness.

Hecate looked at Jason with such an expression...

If at first, Hecate was still doubting the possibility of Jason's future, but now, she believes it!

'Zeus, Hera, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Demeter, and Hermes... including Hades, it is the eight main Gods paying attention to Jason!'

'And the most important thing is that they are still trying to interfere with Jason's future, so perhaps... paths of being favored and becoming Godslayer might only have a thin line separating them!'

'As for the path of becoming ordinary mortal...I now feel that the emergence of that path may be more unlikely than the path of Godslayer.'

'With so many gods staring at you, you still want to become a farmer living in peace, would it even be possible?'

Hecate thought for a while, then finally shook her head, throwing away all his thoughts.

"Let's go." After short thinking, Hecate, who believes that there would be no accident in a short time, said: "Let's go to Hades' Palace and solve the problem of your soul as soon as possible... Also, it has already been a few days, what have you thought about Medea's matter?"

"Well...Teacher, I have already thought of a solution."

Taking a deep breath, Jason seriously said to Hecate: "Actually, I know, escaping is not the answer, I am even a little fortunate to be able to meet her now!"

"Because the current Medea is still young, it is very easy to train... no, it is easy to deceive, no, this is also not right, it is easy to talk with her!"

"So I have decided, I'm going to deceive Medea and make her... form a sibling relationship with me!"

After a short surprise, Hecate looked at Jason who is speaking to her with a serious face, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

'Brother and sister... being so clever at usual times, you can still think of such a solution!'
