Upon hearing this, Tartarus looked at Typhon in surprise for a while, then thought for a while, picked up the three black chess pieces on the chessboard and threw them to Jason.
"One chess piece, one quota."
After Jason subconsciously received the chess piece, Tartarus said to Jason: "If you meet someone who wants to imprison you forever, crush the chess piece and I will take action to imprison the other person in my body forever."
Hearing this, Jason was stunned.
Looking at the three black chess pieces in his hand.
Suddenly, I felt my head go numb.
Because Jason knew one thing, that is, Zeus's father, Kronos, the god of creation and destruction of time and space, was actually not dead at all!
After defeating him, Zeus imprisoned him and the creatures who supported him, and the place where he is now.
The god of the abyss, the great primordial god, is in the body of Tartarus.
In this place where even the concepts of time and space do not exist... to be precise, it is actually inside the body that has been swallowed!
And now, Tartarus gave Jason three chess pieces, which actually meant that he would take action for Jason three times!
This is a killer move... a real killer move!
Jason realized this instantly.
Although Jason has many means, he actually lacks a killer move that can turn the situation around.
Although the attack of Apollo's bow and Luna's arrow was powerful, it had too many limitations. Not only did it require the moment when the sun and the moon coexist, but now there was also the constraint of praying to the twelve Olympian gods.
But now, Jason has... Although Jason also knows that even if Tartarus does not impose restrictions, if Jason asks him to imprison the existence of Zeus, the king of gods, Tartarus will never take action.
But even so, this is Jason's rare killer move, and it is a killer move that even the gods don't know about, and now only a stupid dog beside him knows about it!
"...Thank you, great god of the abyss, Tartarus."
Therefore, Jason held the three chess pieces tightly in his hands, took a deep breath, and did not refuse the gift from Tartarus.
After all, this is the life-saving skill that Jason has always dreamed of!
An invitation from Tartarus, the god of the abyss.
"Yeah, it's okay." Tartarus waved his hand and said, "Next time you come, just remember to play chess with me."
"Yeah, yeah... I'll definitely do it next time, I'll definitely do it next time."
Jason said this with a slightly awkward smile, then tried to run away with the little Loli beside him.
He had only taken two steps when he was called again...but this time it was not Jason who called, but Cerberus.
"Cerberus." Typhon's voice made Cerberus subconsciously turn his head and look towards Typhon.
"Open your mouth."
Then, at Typhon's voice, Cerberus subconsciously opened his mouth.
Typhon stretched out his hand, flicked his white fingers lightly, and a drop of golden blood flew into Cerberus' mouth.
After swallowing the blood, Cerberus winked at Typhon.
Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Jason was startled and quickly caught her.
"Don't worry, she's fine... When she wakes up, she will be stronger than she is now." Typhon waved his hand and said, "Take her away... Child, see you next time."
"...Hmm." Jason picked up Cerberus and looked at Typhon who was sitting beside the chessboard with some complex expressions. After hesitating for a while, he said, "See you next time, Lord Typhon."
Then Jason held Cerberus in his arms and walked out of the endless abyss.
After Jason left and the abyss returned to silence, Tartarus looked at his child Typhon in front of him and said while playing chess: "Do you think so highly of that child?"
"Yes." Typhon nodded, "Because he is indeed different, isn't he? ... And you know what, Father God, he may have a better chance than me to complete the mission I was born here for."
"Him?...How is that possible? He is just a prophetic god, a creature created by that child Prometheus."
Tartarus was really a little surprised this time.
"But this is the truth, great Father God… If you don't believe it, time will prove everything I said. We just have to wait and see.
And God the Father…"
Typhon reached out and put the chess piece that Tartarus had quietly moved while he was talking back to its original position, and said expressionlessly: "You regret your move!"

Chapter 134: Teacher, can you take off your mask?
"...Jason?!"
As soon as Jason walked out of the abyss, he heard someone calling him in an extremely surprised tone. He subconsciously looked up and saw the three goddesses of revenge in front of him.
The one who called out to Jason at the same time was the youngest of the three goddesses of vengeance, the goddess of retribution, Tisiphone.
And at Tisiphone's surprised voice, the other two goddesses also paid attention.
They were all stunned when they saw Jason in front of them, wearing a white robe and holding a fainted little girl in his arms.
I almost thought I was hallucinating!
Because Jason had only been in the abyss that could swallow up even time and space for less than three days!
"Hey, goddess, you are all still here?" Jason was stunned when he saw them, and then a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Jason... Is it really you, Jason?"
The goddess of almsgiving Tisiphone spread her wings and flew to Jason, looking at him with incredible eyes.
"You...didn't you ever go to the abyss?!"
"No, I went." Jason was stunned, looking at the goddess in front of him in confusion and said, "Look, I brought Lord Cerberus out."
As he spoke, Jason gestured to the goddess in front of him to show the little loli in his arms.
Tisiphone, the goddess of alms, was stunned for a moment, and only then did she notice Cerberus in Jason's arms.
And he saw through her soul at a glance and knew that this little black-haired loli was Cerberus!
So not only the goddess of alms Tisiphone was stunned, but the two goddesses who came over were also stunned.
The three of them looked at Jason with great surprise and disbelief.
You know, not long ago, they were still discussing a month's time to go in and bring them out.
But what was going on right now? ...Within three days of being inside, he escaped from the endless abyss where the gods were imprisoned?
And he successfully brought back Cerberus?
How is this possible!
"By the way, goddess, how long have I been in there?"
"In less than three days..." the goddess of alms Tisiphone replied subconsciously.
"Three days?" Jason's face changed, and he said in surprise, "I've been in there for three whole days?!"
"Three whole days?" Tisiphone, the goddess of alms, looked at Jason strangely.
That is the abyss, the endless abyss that imprisoned many gods!
"Oh my god, it's over, it's over. It's been taking so long, the teacher must be so worried!"
But it was obvious that Jason, who had gone in and out of the abyss several times, was really panicked when he heard that three days had passed.
"I'm sorry, my three honorable goddesses. I have something urgent to do and I have to leave first. I will apologize to you next time for my rudeness!"
After Jason finished speaking, he hugged Cerberus and ran away under the stunned gaze of the three goddesses.
Along the way, Jason ran back to the temple of the goddess Hecate as fast as he could.
This time Jason didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open.
"Teacher, I'm back, and look what I brought you!"
Holding Cerberus in his arms, Jason shouted loudly: "I have brought your illegitimate daughter back to you!"
The moment the words fell.
Boom boom boom——!
A burst of red lightning struck Jason accurately.
Although the damage was not serious, Jason, whose hair was electrocuted, opened his mouth and spit out a puff of black smoke, and Cerberus in his arms was also affected.
But even after being struck by lightning, Cerberus did not wake up.
Then, Hecate with black hair was seen teleporting from somewhere in the temple to Jason.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"
"No, nothing." Jason showed an awkward but polite smile, raised Cerberus in his arms and said, "Teacher Hecate, look, I brought Cerberus back, and she looks like you!"
Hearing this, Hecate was stunned as she watched Jason holding up the unconscious Cerberus and the little girl who looked 70% like herself.
Then, more black lines appeared on Hecate's forehead.
"Wait, wait a minute, teacher!" Seeing Hecate raising her staff and preparing to strike him with lightning, Jason quickly spoke up to clarify, "Her transformation into this has nothing to do with me, I swear!"
"...What's going on? Tell me."
Hecate glared at Jason, the evil disciple in front of her, and then said unhappily.
At the same time, in the blink of an eye of Jason, Cerberus came to Hecate's side. Hecate checked and found that Cerberus, who had fainted, was fine... To be precise, not only was he fine, but he was in the best condition possible.
I estimate that after waking up from this sleep, my strength will at least double!
"It's this kind of teacher..."
Then Jason told Hecate in simple words what happened in the abyss.
When Hecate heard that Jason had offered tribute to Tartarus and that Tartarus was very satisfied and gave him generous gifts in return, she looked at Jason's expression and could not help but be speechless.
But Hecate has gotten used to it... Although she doesn't know what's so good about this evil disciple, he is indeed loved by all kinds of gods.
"Then when leaving, Master Typhon gave Master Cerberus a drop of blood, and she passed out...Oh, by the way, Teacher Hecate."
Jason hesitated for a while, but finally looked at Hecate in front of him and told her the truth: "Lord Typhon told me about the sword...
She said that the goddess Athena had cursed blood flowing in her body.
And Teacher Hephaestus has the ability to combine her destructive power with Athena's power to create a weapon that can truly kill him!"
Hecate was stunned.
"She actually told you all this?"
This time, Hecate was really surprised.
Hecate was not surprised that Typhon knew this, because if she didn't know, she would not have given her own blood to Jason directly.
Obviously, what Typhon was expecting was the appearance of a god-killing weapon.
Because the close relationship between Athena and Jason was no secret.
However, Hecate did not expect Typhon to tell Jason this.
Because just as Jason thought at the time, as long as the weapon to kill the gods was created and Jason had it, then whether Jason was willing or not, he would only have the path of destruction left.
After being surprised, Hecate remained silent for a while as she looked at Jason in front of her.
"What about you? You actually know about this. What do you think?"
As Hecate spoke, her expression seemed much more relaxed.
During this period of time, Hecate has actually been worrying about whether she should tell Jason about this...about the sword that kills gods.
Although Hephaestus said that being favored by the gods would not necessarily bring happiness to Jason.
But Jason was doomed to suffer from unhappiness if he killed the gods.
Because if Jason really wanted to destroy Olympus, then gods like Artemis, Hestia, and Athena.
And what about Hephaestuskeeping the secret from Jason all the time is not a big deal.
Therefore, Hecate has actually been worried all the time, but now that Typhon has talked things out, Hecate is naturally relieved.
"Well... as for me, I actually want to seriously ask you a favor, teacher." Jason thought for a moment and looked at Hecate very seriously.
Unexpectedly, Hecate rolled her eyes and said, "You want me to help you delete your memory? ... No way!"
"That's it." Jason shrugged and said helplessly: "Teacher, since I can't delete my memory, what else can I do? ... I can only follow the current steps.
Get stronger, get stronger, and keep getting stronger.
Become immortal, become stronger than anyone else, and only in this way can I make my own choices, rather than passive choices. "
Jason said calmly.
The matter of the God-killing Sword did surprise Jason. After all, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to obtain the terrible weapon that could kill Zeus.
But after being surprised, Jason thought about it and realized that even if he knew all this now and got the God-killing Sword, it seemed useless!
Because even if there are weapons, it doesn't mean that Zeus can be killed.
He is not even an immortal god now. If he goes to find Zeus with the sword of killing gods, he will probably be struck by Zeus' thunder and nothing will be left.
You know, although Jason's soul has been strengthened, the divine thunder can still destroy him!
Hecate looked at Jason in front of her. His answer was a little unexpected to her, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense.
"...If it was three years ago, I would probably find your words very unbelievable, but now..."
Hecate looked at Jason with a complicated expression and said, "I find myself...seemingly unable to see through you any more!"
"But no matter what, I am your most adorable disciple!" Jason said to Hecate with a smile, "Besides, as a man, it is best to remain a little mysterious!"
"The cutest...phew!"
"And a man, you're just a boy now."
"Teacher, that's too much!" Jason looked at Hecate with wide eyes.
"Okay, I don't have time to play with you." Hecate waved her hand and dismissed him, "Your teacher Hephaestus has come to me several times, asking why you haven't returned yet... Speaking of which, you came to me to ask me what kind of tribute I should give to Hephaestus, right? Why don't you ask me suddenly?"
Although Jason offered his companionship to Hephaestus, it was not a physical object, so Jason needed to offer Hephaestus the first item he had made. This time Jason came to the underworld, actually he also wanted to ask Hecate about this matter.
I'd like to hear Hecate's opinion.
But halfway through, Jason gave up again because...
"Because you suddenly remembered halfway through that you haven't prepared tribute for me yet, so you didn't dare to ask, right?"
Hecate squinted her eyes and looked at Jason who was feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, you are indeed my most adorable disciple!"
"Teacher, it's not that I don't want to prepare a tribute for you. It's just that I really don't know what to give you, teacher."
Jason, who was easily seen through by Hecate, had no choice but to reply honestly: "Because I feel that you are not interested in anything else... How about I offer myself to you, teacher?"
Hearing this, Hecate looked at Jason in front of her, who was looking at her expectantly.
Hecate, with a sullen face, was too lazy to say anything.
With a wave of his hand, the dark butterfly of the underworld trapped Jason.
The next second, Jason was kicked out of the underworld by Hecate and returned to the temple of Hephaestus.
"Ah, it seems like I'm being disliked... Never mind, it's not the first day that the teacher has been saying one thing and thinking another. I have time to slowly waste time with her!
Come to think of it, have I forgotten something all this time? It seems like the Grim Reaper asked me to give a message to the teacher.
Forget it, I'll talk about it next time I remember it."
Muttering to himself, Jason found a place to sit down and began to daydream.
Thinking back on the experiences of the past two days, Jason himself felt it was a bit unreal.
"The God-killing Sword... This thing is really bad. Should I find a way out for myself? If they really find out, then I'm done... And it requires the blood of Goddess Athena, which means that Goddess Athena will definitely know... Oh, it's really troublesome."
Thinking about all this, Jason couldn't help but sigh.
However, Jason did not remain depressed for long. As he had just said, even if he knew all this now, it would be of no use at all.
What should be done must be done.
And now Jason is not completely without a way out... Although the three black chess pieces given by Tartarus, the god of the abyss, cannot be used to imprison Zeus and others, but think about it the other way around.
To imprison Jason himself?
When the time comes, when he goes into the endless abyss, even Zeus will be unable to do anything to him, after all, Zeus' father is also in the abyss.
"Forget it, don't think too much about it. There's no point in thinking too much. There are only two things I need to do right now.
First, prepare the things that Hades' brother-in-law will use for his wedding... These are not difficult to solve, if Teacher Hephaestus is still willing to help me.
Then I need to do the second thing first... What kind of thing should I create to give to Teacher Hephaestus?"
Jason's brows couldn't help but furrowed deeply.
And at this moment...
"Jason, what are you doing?...Since you are back, why don't you inform me, the teacher?"
Following the whispers in his ear, Hephaestus, who was driving the wheelchair immediately appeared in front of Jason after noticing Jason's return.
Jason raised his head and looked at Hephaestus who was slowly approaching him. Looking at Hephaestus, who was wearing a half-black mask and the other half had the face of a goddess, Jason could not help but remain silent.
In fact, Jason was not completely without direction... He had long thought seriously about what he should build for Hephaestus.
only...
Jason hesitated, but he still smiled and greeted Hephaestus.
Then the two of them came to the temple hall. Jason told Hephaestus what he had done and where he had been in the past two days. At the same time, he was observing Hephaestus, struggling in his heart about whether he should do that.
After some time has passed...
"Child, do you have anything to say to me?"
Because Jason looked at him repeatedly, Hephaestus realized that something was wrong with Jason, so he asked Jason to sit in front of him and asked him in confusion.
"...Yes, Mr. Hephaestus, but I don't know if I should be so presumptuous as to say it."
"It's okay, go ahead, kid." Hephaestus smiled softly, "You are my student, you can ask me anything, and I will accept it."
"Is that so... Excuse me, Mr. Hephaestus!"
Hearing this, Jason was somewhat moved. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, looked at Hephaestus in front of him, and said, "Then Mr. Hephaestus, may I ask... can I see your true appearance?
Can you take off your mask so I can see it?"
——————————————————————Dividing line——————————————
PS: There are a total of 8.5k updates today, which is a lot. See you all tomorrow.
The ban will be lifted in two days, and it seems like everyone can talk now.
Chapter 135 Jason, am I beautiful?
Can you take off your mask so I can see it?
This request is more than presumptuous.
Hephaestus' expression froze.
Since she wore this half of the mask, it meant that Hephaestus didn't want others to see the other half of his face.
Then when Hephaestus came to her senses and looked at Jason, she saw Jason lowering his head, waiting to be scolded...
Seeing this, Hephaestus, whose mood had become complicated and brows were slightly wrinkled, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually softened.
Yes, Jason is not an unreasonable child.
"Can you tell me your reason?" Hephaestus calmed down and asked Jason.
Hearing this, Jason looked up at Hephaestus in surprise.
He originally thought that he would be greeted with an angry scolding from the teacher.
"Teacher Hephaestus, I hope to be able to offer you a tribute that you would like... For this reason, I have thought very hard about what I should offer you."
Jason hesitated for a while, then said to Hephaestus seriously: "You are the greatest god of craftsmanship, your dexterous hands can build anything in the world.
I am just an ordinary person. There is absolutely no way that what I create can be comparable to what you, teacher, can do. This is what worries me the most!"
Hephaestus listened to Jason quietly, with a relieved smile on her face, because she sensed Jason's sincerity from his words.
"You don't have to worry about it." Then Hephaestus said, "I like everything you make..."
"No, that won't work, Mr. Hephaestus!"
Unexpectedly, Jason interrupted Hephaestus and said to the surprised Hephaestus seriously, "Because what I offer to you must not only please you, teacher, but also be recognized by others!
After all, I am your student, the student of Hephaestus, your great god of craftsmanship!"
Jason originally planned to learn from Hephaestus, then work hard to forge something and then present it to Hephaestus.
And with that, the mission is accomplished.
But now...Hestia, one of the main gods of Olympus and also one of the three virgin goddesses, made this comment when she first met Jason.
Jason has a pure heart and beautiful eyes.
This is the result of comparing ourselves with the world.
But it is obvious that Jason knew how to write the four words "be grateful and repay favors".
If we say that Jason became Hephaestus's student at the beginning, it was only to curry favor with him and complete the task of offering tribute to the main god.
So this time when he came back, Hephaestus undoubtedly conquered Jason with his attitude.
Now Jason no longer regards becoming Hephaestus' student as a task, he has regarded Hephaestus as his real teacher.
Teachers like Chiron the Centaur Sage and Hecate the Goddess of Roads.
Therefore, the gift that Jason forged and gave to Hephaestus not only needed to be approved by Hephaestus, but also had to be approved by the other gods.
Because Jason cannot tarnish the name of Hephaestus' apprentice!
Hephaestus stared blankly at Jason who was speaking to her seriously. She naturally understood Jason's thoughts.
Therefore, a warm current slowly flowed through her heart.
She subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but closed it again because she didn't know where to start.
Then, there was a moment of silent silence.
"...I understand." Hephaestus said softly, then reached out and touched the mask on his face with some trembling.
When Hephaestus touched the half black mask, he pulled his hand back immediately as if he had received an electric shock.
Then she looked at Jason in front of her again.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment.
Hephaestus looked into Jason's pure eyes, then finally reached out and gently took off half of the black mask.
At this point, Hephaestus' true appearance was revealed to Jason.
While in the temple, under the illumination of the holy fire, Jason also engraved the true appearance of Hephaestus deeply in his mind.
A red birthmark like a burn from fire appeared on the face hidden by the black mask.
It wasn't anything horrific, but it did seriously ruin the beauty of the goddess's face.
Jason looked at Hephaestus, whose true face was revealed.
But at this moment, facing Jason's gaze, Hephaestus subconsciously dodged and felt uncomfortable all over, making her subconsciously want to reach out and put the mask on her face immediately.
But before she could move, she saw Jason walking towards her.
"Teacher...can I touch it?"
Jason came before Hephaestus, looked directly at Hephaestus' face, and asked Hephaestus a question.
"No... No, of course not!"
Hephaestus was shocked and his first reaction was naturally to refuse
