Well, if we think along this line of thought...could it be that Athena wants me to help Asclepius create a magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life?
After all, Jason was familiar with Athena and was already familiar with her style.
So after a brief silence, Jason quickly realized that Athena had a second purpose in asking him to find Asclepius, besides Apollo.
After understanding Athena's intentions, Jason immediately said to Asklepios, "Brother Asklepios, do you need Sister Fire Spirit's immortal lotus? ... Actually, there's no need to trouble Lord Thanatos, the god of death. I'll take you there."
"Since you are Jason's senior, then you should go with Jason." Thanatos, the god of death, also smiled and said to Asclepius: "This kid in the underworld...maybe he will be more useful than me, haha!"
Asklepios hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but then shook his head at Jason and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Jason, I can't leave just yet."
"why?"
Faced with Jason's doubts, Asclepius hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to Jason's ear and whispered, "Actually, I still need the blood of Thanatos, the god of death..."
"Well, you need my divine blood? What do you want my blood for?"
The god of death Thanatos looked at Asclepius in confusion, and a bad expression appeared on Asclepius' face.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter... I can give you the blood, but... Jason, you have to do me a favor!
Don't worry, it's a piece of cake for you!"
"Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean by Thanatos, the God of Death."
"That's what..."
Thanatos, the god of death, rubbed his hands and said to Jason, "Could you please say a few good words for me in front of your teacher Hecate?"
Upon hearing this, Jason looked at Thanatos, the god of death, expressionlessly, and then righteously refused, "I'm sorry, great Thanatos, the god of death. I'm not only Hecate's student, I'm also her most loyal believer. Such a thing..."
"No, I really don't need you to do anything. You just need to say a few good words about me to your teacher... Really, just a few good words will do!"
"...I can't guarantee that. Teacher Hecate's reaction after hearing this. Great God of Death Thanatos, do you think this is okay?"
Jason rolled his eyes and then said.
"No problem, no problem!" Thanatos, the god of death, nodded quickly.
So, under the strange gaze of Asclepius, Jason took out a larger container and put the blood of Thanatos, the god of death...
"Asclepius, do you think this is enough?"
Asclepius looked at Jason, who was smiling and talking to him while holding the jar, and thought for a moment, then swallowed back the words that actually only needed a little bit...
Asclepius knew that Jason did it on purpose... Although he didn't understand how, his goal was achieved. Asclepius really had no reason to stay beside Thanatos, the god of death.
Then Jason, Asclepius and Hades came to the immortal spirit.
Because of Hades' arrival, the Fire Spirit hurried out to greet him.
So it was only then that Asclepius realized that the cold-faced man following Jason was actually Hades, the god of the underworld!
Hades, the god of the underworld, led the way...Asclepius's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Jason.
Although Asclepius...or to be more precise, Chiron's students knew very early on that Jason had great privileges in the underworld.
After all, Jason can leave the underworld whenever he wants and go wherever he wants.
But Asclepius really didn't expect that Jason had such strong connections in the underworld!
It was at this time that Asclepius suddenly recalled something...something that happened before he came to the underworld.
Before coming to the underworld, Athena appeared before Asclepius and told him that when he went to the underworld, someone would appear and fulfill his wish.
At first, Asclepius thought it was Thanatos, the god of death, but now...
"So... that person is referring to you."
Looking at Jason talking to the fire spirit in front of him, and then looking at Hades, the god of the underworld beside him, Asclepius understood.
So, after Jason had thanked the Fire Spirit, he returned to Asclepius and said, "Brother Asclepius is in the underworld. Do you need any other herbs?"
“…No need for that.”
Asclepius shook his head and said, "Thanks to the medicinal fields you left behind, I've already found most of the herbs... The only medicine I need now isn't in the underworld, but in the human world."
"But before we go back, Brother Jason, can you do me a favor?"
"Brother Asclepius, you said that as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!" Jason said seriously.
Asclepius looked at Jason who was speaking to him seriously. After a period of silence, Asclepius came to Hades.
After paying respect to him, Asclepius said, "Great Lord Hades, I have another purpose for coming to the underworld this time.
I wish to take my mother, Coronis, with me from the underworld!"
There must be a reason why Asclepius followed the Centaur sage Chiron to learn medical skills and spent his life pursuing the creation of a miracle drug that could bring people back to life... and that reason was obviously that he witnessed the death of his mother Coronis with his own eyes!
Hades looked at Asclepius in front of him, and his expression was not surprised... After all, Asclepius was different from Jason, his soul was not protected by the gods.
Hades already knew his thoughts and the fact that he was making an elixir that could bring the dead back to life, which was why he did not leave but continued to follow him all the way here.
"...If you hadn't come to me and asked Jason to beg me for mercy, I would never have agreed to your request."
After a long while, Hades said to Asclepius calmly, "For the sake of Jason and your father Apollo, I can promise you.
But everything has its price... Your mother can leave the underworld, but you must stay in the underworld.
When you create the magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life, I will personally come to the human world and take your life!"
Asclepius was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looking at Hades in front of him.
Then a smile appeared on his face, and he saluted Hades from the bottom of his heart, saying, "Thank you, merciful Lord Hades!"
Listening to what the two said, especially when Hades said that he would leave Asclepius in the underworld, Jason wanted to say something at first.
But when Jason heard that Hades' condition was that Asclepius made a magic potion that could bring the dead back to life, he stopped talking.
Because as long as Asclepius made that magic medicine, he would definitely not be able to stay in the world.
It was obvious that Asclepius was also very clear in his mind, so he calmly accepted the conditions given by Hades.
"Don't be too happy yet. Even if I promise you that you can take your mother away, it is conditional."
Hades continued, "Next, I will remove the protections left on you by Artemis, the Moon Goddess, Apollo, the God of Light, and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom.
Then I will take you to the paradise of Elysees, the place of happiness, to meet your mother.
You need to carry your mother out of the gray plains and across the river of pain.
You cannot put your mother down or stop along the way, otherwise you will not be able to bring your mother back.
Without the gods' protection, the creatures of the underworld will attack you... Jason, and you too."
Hades said, looking at Jason and said, "If you want to help him, I will also suppress the protection of the gods on you, including my protection and the protection of your teacher. You will face the creatures of the underworld that attack you!"
"No, just let me do it alone." Asclepius said after Hades finished speaking.
"You are alone... Brother Asclepius, you are just a doctor and have no fighting ability at all. If I don't help you, how can you get out of the underworld?" Jason said to Asclepius with a smile.
"But......"
"Brother Asclepius, didn't you just ask me for help? I said I would definitely help you.
Well...if you really feel bad about it, how about giving me a portion of that miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life when you create it?"
After three years of living with the Centaur sage Chiron, Jason could not ignore Asclepius.
Not to mention that Jason had already guessed that this should also be a script secretly arranged by Athena...a script to offer tribute to the god of light Apollo!
Asclepius listened to Jason's words, and after a brief thought, he nodded seriously to Jason and said, "I understand... Don't worry, Jason. When the magic medicine that can bring people back to life is created, I will definitely leave the best for you!"
"You make it sound like I'm dangerous."
Jason smiled, and the matter was settled.
As for the transaction being made in front of Hades, the god of the underworld, and the transaction being for the magical medicine that could seriously disrupt the world order... Hades, the god of the underworld, naturally turned a blind eye.
After all, the other party is Jason!
So Hades, the god of the underworld, took Jason and Asclepius to the paradise of Elysae, the place of happiness, and found Asclepius' mother.
After a brief reunion, Asclepius carried his mother on his back and began to walk step by step from the underworld to the human world.
On the way, Asclepius could not stop, let alone leave his mother to rest.
And just as Hades, the god of the underworld, said, when they officially set out on the road of no return, Hades sealed all the protections on the two of them.
The moment the Hades butterfly disappeared from Jason's body, the icy coldness of the underworld, which seemed to pierce deep into his soul, instantly attacked Jason.
Jason couldn't help but shudder, and you know, Jason's soul had been tempered by the eternal fire!
So Jason couldn't help but look at Asclepius for a moment, and found that Asclepius's teeth began to tremble.
"Brother Asclepius, please leave quickly... If you take too long, your soul will be completely contaminated by the aura of the underworld. By then, you will be dead!"
Asclepius looked at Jason and nodded to him.
So the two of them walked out of the Elysee Paradise, the place of happiness, under the gaze of Hades. When they walked out, the cold wind on the gray plain was naturally more biting than that in the Elysee Paradise, the place of happiness!
But now that things have come to this, there is obviously no turning back.
Jason took a deep breath and prepared to take out the magic spear given to him by Typhon.
Although now, there are no limits to the gifts the gods can give to Jason.
But it was obvious that the sword of Apollo, the god of light, and the arrows of the moon, the two most powerful weapons, were now unusable...
Originally, Jason thought so, but what he didn't expect was that at the moment when Asclepius took a difficult step with his mother on his back, the sword of Apollo hanging on Jason's waist suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.
The bright light enveloped Jason and Asclepius, dispelling the dark energy of the underworld.
Jason and Asclepius were both stunned.
But Jason reacted quickly.
That's right, it would be strange if Apollo didn't know what was happening now...
And just as Jason was thinking this, he saw it.
Because they no longer had the protection of Teacher Hecate, Hades and others, creatures from the underworld came running from all directions upon smelling the presence of living creatures.
Jason thought about it, then took off the sword from his waist and hung it on Asclepius.
At the same time, he placed Athena's compass with him temporarily and said, "Brother Asclepius, listen to me. Now just keep your head down and follow the direction of the compass.
No matter what you hear, don't raise your head. No matter what happens under your feet, just keep moving forward, because I will definitely pave the road ahead for you!
