It was the arrow that existed only in legend even among the gods.
If the battle against the hundred-eyed giant Argus had not fully conveyed the terror of this arrow, now, through great ocean god Oceanus.
A former member of the second-generation twelve Titan rulers.
It undoubtedly displayed the shocking power of this arrow in full, vivid detail!
Especially with Athena's wisdom adding the divine power of the twelve Olympian gods to this terrifying force.
Then, with the appearance of Athena, Hecate, and the primordial goddess Nyx.
And their bringing of the rescued soul of river god Achelous.
The matter naturally came to an end.
Though one of Oceanus's arms had been directly pierced by the arrow, as the great ocean god in the sea, recovery was instantaneous for him.
Thus, there was no need to turn hostile...
Well, the main reason was that even Oceanus, this powerful Titan ruler, seeing the gods appearing one by one because of Jason.
Could only choose compromise.
Thus, the belated night fell. Oceanus took his son, the river god, and departed. Queen of the Sea Amphitrite returned Poseidon's trident to him.
The ocean split in two closed once more.
In mere moments, everything returned to normal, as though nothing had happened.
Only the fragments of memory in the minds of all present and the flowers of time that faithfully recorded moments preserved this story.
And as the only human present.
The sole fortunate one.
Witness to all this, the future most beautiful woman in the mortal world, Helen.
Naturally could never forget this instant.
That figure of the hero in snow-white robes at twilight sunset and faint moonlight, drawing his bow as though shooting down the stars and sky itself.
Would remain forever in her heart.
And it was in this moment that Helen truly felt how extraordinarily fortunate she was.
To leave a stroke, a part of the story, in his tale!
Then...
"Teacher."
In Helen's eyes, the hero who had just been so dazzling and triumphant suddenly changed completely.
Before the expressionless approaching Hecate and Athena beside her.
Their gazes met. Jason showed an expression like a child who had done wrong, anxiously awaiting punishment.
This sudden change left Helen stunned once more.
"...Ah."
The expected "loving discipline" did not come.
Hecate, walking to Jason, merely looked at him and sighed with helplessness and amusement.
Then she reached out and pinched Jason's cheek.
"Next time you encounter trouble, remember to say something. Understand?"
Saying this, under Jason's completely stunned gaze of "Is this really my teacher?!"
Hecate turned her head. Her crimson eyes met Hera's.
She stepped forward, shielding Jason behind her.
Displaying the standard elegant, noble smile of a goddess.
She curtsied lightly to Hera and said softly with a smile, "I express thanks to the noble Queen. My child Jason has been in your care today."
Athena, coming to Jason's side and seeing this, moved her lips.
She held back and did not laugh.
Not just her. At this moment, Apollo, Amphitrite, and the other gods who had recovered all showed amused expressions.
Since the Golden Fleece voyage ended and Jason's relationship with Hera was finally repaired, Hera had loved claiming Jason as her child.
Her intent to usurp the role was known to gods and mortals alike.
Thus, Hecate had now staked her claim.
Hera's expression stiffened at these words.
Hecate ignored Hera's reaction. Her gaze swept over and settled on the god of light Apollo.
She nodded lightly to him. "Thank you for today's matter."
"No need for thanks." Apollo replied with a smile. "Some days ago, for my mother's matter, I should thank you."
"That was what I should do as her niece."
As Hecate replied with a faint smile.
Her gaze briefly passed over Amphitrite and Thetis.
Finally, it settled on Helen.
She walked forward, patted Helen's head, glanced at the Pegasus feather hanging on her, and said, "A very cute child. She reminds me of Medea back then... If Jason lets Medea know how much you care for this child.
She would probably be very jealous."
"Hm, little sister Medea shouldn't be that petty..."
As Jason replied, Hecate gently lifted Helen and placed her on Pegasus.
"Goddess Hestia's oracle to you was to take her, who has been away from home for so long, back to her homeland, right? ...In that case, go."
"Eh." Jason paused, then looked at Thetis. "But Teacher, I already promised Goddess Thetis..."
"Everything has an order of first and later."
Hecate calmly interrupted Jason. "Promises made to others must be kept.
As for your agreement with Goddess Thetis, when there is time, I will bring you here personally to visit."
"That will not be necessary."
Thetis finally could not hold back and replied to Hecate.
"No, it is very necessary."
Hecate turned to Thetis, smile unchanged as she continued, "As his teacher, I naturally have the duty to supervise him.
Since he has already declared his stance before the gods, until everything is complete, I must supervise him.
Supervise him in completing all his tasks.
Only then will he have the qualification to give you all a response."
By the time that happens, you will probably have hidden him away long ago, making it impossible to see him again!
Not just Thetis thought this.
Hera, Amphitrite, and Apollo all felt the same.
Athena naturally thought so too, but she did not speak against it.
After all, Jason had already made a promise with her. On the day he becomes a god, Jason would give her an answer... And it did not matter if he answered or not.
As the goddess of wisdom, even if she had to chase to the deepest abyss.
Jason would never escape her grasp!
Thus Athena was not worried at all.
And Nyx, goddess of night watching the scene, seeing Hecate actually become serious and face these gods directly, could not help secretly smiling.
And you say you do not care about Jason...
Hecate, this is no longer just a teacher. This is clearly the stance of a mistress!
Ah, Asteria, your daughter might finally be able to marry!
