Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: That Child Jason... He's Done For!

"Typhon, son of Tartarus..."

The moment he heard the name "Typhon" from the lips of the Moirai, Zeus, clad in a silver-white robe, raised his head and gazed toward the heavens.

Beneath those profound eyes, the glorious Mount Olympus gradually receded from his sight. His gaze pierced through the entire human world and finally arrived at the endless abyss—Tartarus!

And within that endless abyss, one of the suppressed Titan gods, as though sensing something, slowly lifted his head.

It was none other than the current leader of the Titan divine race—Typhon, Father of All Monsters!

Their gazes collided, and in that instant, the entire abyss trembled!

"Enough." Just as the abyss began to quake, a majestic voice rang out simultaneously in both their ears. It belonged to the representative of the abyss itself.

One of the five primordial deities who had existed since the birth of the world—Tartarus, God of the Hellish Abyss.

He was also Typhon's father!

Under the voice of such an ancient deity, even Zeus had no choice but to withdraw his gaze.

Then he turned to look at the Moirai before him, as well as Hermes. The current Zeus had clearly lost the anger from earlier; the circling thunder had vanished as well.

"You have done well." The returning Zeus said with satisfaction to the Moirai. "Did you see anything else?"

"Yes, most revered God-King."

The eldest, Atropos, stepped forward and continued speaking to Zeus. "In that battle capable of destroying Olympus, we also saw the existence that can bring you victory and defeat your irreconcilable mortal enemy!"

"Oh?" Zeus was slightly surprised. "Who is it?"

"Your child—the child who is currently studying under the centaur sage Chiron—Heracles!"

Heracles...? It's him!

Just as Zeus showed a trace of emotion.

Among the Moirai, the youngest goddess who also governed the thread of "future," Clotho, suddenly let out a light exclamation and looked at Atropos in confusion. "Big sister... did you only see Heracles?"

"Hm?" Atropos frowned slightly, appearing somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean by that, little sister?"

"Reporting to the great God-King, what I saw seems to be somewhat different from what big sister saw."

After thinking for a moment, Clotho stepped forward and said to Zeus, "Besides Heracles, I seem to have seen the figure of another hero!"

Another one?

Even Hermes, who had been listening silently at the side, was a little surprised.

The appearance of Heracles, a human name, surprised Hermes, but he could still accept it.

After all, Heracles was Zeus's child, bearing the noble blood of the God-King, and had displayed absolute extraordinariness from a very young age!

One must know that not long after Heracles was born, he became the target of Queen of Heaven Hera. Hera sent two venomous serpents to bite him to death, yet she never expected that those two magical beast serpents would be easily subdued by the newborn Heracles!

That was Queen Hera's method, after all!

"Who is it?" Zeus thought the same as Hermes and asked with great interest.

"It is..." Clotho hesitated for a moment before finally saying helplessly, "I am sorry, great God-King. I do not know his name."

"Hm, you do not know?" Zeus was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, great God-King. His figure was somewhat blurred... but I did indeed see him, and his fate seems... as though it is being influenced by something, constantly changing!"

"Fate being influenced, constantly changing..."

While all the gods were somewhat puzzled, and even Clotho's two elder sisters suspected she might have seen wrongly since they had not seen him.

"The figure you saw, Clotho—was it a handsome man with golden hair and emerald eyes, dressed in white?"

None knew when she had arrived, but Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, wearing a pure white long dress, walked in.

Not only Athena—at this moment, a dignified and gracefully beautiful woman followed beside her.

She was none other than Queen of Heaven Hera, daughter of the second-generation God-King Cronus, and the elder sister as well as legitimate wife of the third-generation God-King Zeus!

"Yes, yes!" Clotho nodded. "Goddess of Wisdom Athena, do you know who that child is?"

"Of course I know. And I believe Father and Hermes know as well... That child is connected to Demeter and Persephone."

With such an obvious hint, Hermes and Zeus naturally reacted, for it had only been a mere two days since the matter with Persephone concluded!

"So it's him... In that case, the blurriness of his fate can indeed be explained." Hermes said with a smile.

"Who?" Clotho asked curiously.

"Jason... that is his name!"

As soon as Athena finished replying, Hera, who had been frowning and observing the situation beside her, suddenly froze and glanced at Athena.

She tilted her head slightly... Jason?

This name... why does it sound somewhat familiar?

"Great Father, has something happened?"

While Hera was thinking, Athena inquired about the reason from Zeus.

Upon learning that Zeus had seen the destruction of Olympus, Athena and the others instantly understood why Zeus had been so furious earlier.

And after hearing that it was the Titan divine race, and moreover the child of Tartarus, one of the primordial deities, Athena nodded in understanding.

"So in other words, in that future great war, Heracles and Jason will bring us victory, correct?"

As soon as Athena finished speaking, Hera beside her let out a cold snort. "Heracles... If I remember correctly, that is a certain someone's illegitimate child, right!"

"And that one called Jason... strange, why do I feel like I've heard the name before."

When the gods first heard Hera say Jason's name sounded familiar, they did not think much of it at first.

The reason Queen Hera had only appeared now was actually because she had gone earlier to comfort Demeter, who had lost her daughter.

Thus, it was not strange that she had heard rumors about Jason along the way.

Therefore, just as Athena was smiling and preparing to explain to Hera,

"Oh, I remember now. Jason... His original name was Diomedes, right? Son of King Aeson of Iolcus!"

Hera suddenly recalled and said, "Because that name was given to him later by Chiron, I had forgotten... So he will become very remarkable in the future!"

Athena looked at Hera, who had remembered and was now in high spirits, and could not help feeling puzzled.

"You know that child?" Zeus also asked strangely.

"Of course! He is my child!" Hera nodded, and her current expression was even somewhat proud...

"...What? He is your child?" Zeus, who was stunned for a moment, widened his eyes.

"Yes!" Hera seemed very satisfied with Zeus's reaction and proudly said, "I have been paying attention to this child for a very long time, and he has always been my sincere believer!

Not bad, not bad. He has not disappointed me. Truly worthy of being the child I chose!"

At these words, Athena was stunned, Hermes was dumbfounded, and even Zeus felt his eyelids twitch wildly... Your child?

And your sincere believer?

Isn't he the child of Goddess of Crossroads Hecate?!

"Um... are you sure it is Jason?" Zeus could not help asking.

"Of course!" Hera nodded. "For that child to survive in the first place, it was I who saved him. Even when he went to become Chiron's disciple, it was I who secretly guided him!"

"But speaking of which... how do you all know about that child?" Hera said, then felt something was off and looked doubtfully at Athena and the others.

Athena and Zeus hurriedly averted their gazes, so Hera ultimately turned to Hermes.

"...Um, you know about the matter where a certain child secretly helped take Persephone away, right?"

Under Hera's gaze, Hermes could only steel himself and speak.

"I know. What about it?"

"That child... is Jason..."

"It was him?" Hera was very surprised... No, to be accurate, she actually felt very delighted!

And seeing Hera look so satisfied,

Even Athena and Hermes, as well as Zeus himself, could not help swallowing nervously.

"Um... great Father, I suddenly remembered I have something to do."

"Um, great Father, I also have something to attend to. I will take my leave first!"

Seeing the situation was bad, Athena and Hermes quickly slipped away!

They gave Zeus no chance to stop them. After escaping the temple, the two looked at each other and revealed bitter smiles.

"Now that child... is truly in trouble."

Hermes could not help sighing.

"Yes, Hera and Demeter... That child has now completely provoked two major goddesses."

Athena also sighed.

Hearing this, Hermes could not help glancing at Athena, then swallowed back the words in his heart, "Actually, he has also provoked you..."

And not long after the two slipped away, under pressure from Hera, Zeus could only tell the truth in the end.

Thus...

"What!"

Inside the shaking temple, Hera widened her eyes and glared at Zeus as though flames were about to shoot from them. "You said that child is now Hecate's student and has become Hecate's most loyal believer?!

This is impossible... How is this possible!"

...

...

Huh?

Why do I suddenly feel a chill down my back?

In the Underworld, inside Hecate's temple.

Jason, who was sitting in the hall, suddenly shivered.

"Junior Brother Jason, what is wrong?"

Seeing this, Medea, who had been closely following beside him, immediately asked with concern. "Are you not used to the aura of the Underworld... Teacher, will the aura of the Underworld harm Junior Brother Jason's body?"

"How could that be? Not to mention his body has been cleansed by the waters of the Styx, he is also carrying Apollo's blessed sword."

Seeing Medea fussing over Jason with extreme care, and Jason wearing a tearful expression in response,

Hecate at the side could not help shaking her head.

At the same time, her brows slightly furrowed.

Strange, why did I just feel like someone was targeting me...

Thinking this, Hecate looked toward Jason, then decided not to dwell on it.

After all, no matter what, resolving Jason's matter was clearly more important right now!

Although Jason also felt something was strange, seeing Medea beside him, he decided not to think too much about it.

After all, no matter what, resolving Medea's matter was clearly more important right now!
