The goddess Luna, who received the message from the earth from above the moon, looked at the golden light that had risen into the sky and headed towards her, with unspeakable anger and confusion on her face.
Angry because the weak human beings are still unwilling to bend their knees and surrender to her.
What she didn't understand was that Luna had no idea why Hercules and Jason chose to sacrifice themselves without hesitation.
This confusion has long been buried in Luna's heart. It has been buried in her heart since the beginning when numerous heroic spirits kept appearing in the world to try to stop her.
If it is temporarily understandable that the still-living humans want to resist for the sake of life, then why are the long-dead heroic spirits willing to sacrifice their lives one after another?
"Why, why, why, why do you who don't even have your life choose to continue to be my enemy!"
"Why do you work so hard for other people's futures when you don't even have a future!!"
"How much do you have to deprive yourself of the future before you are willing to wake up from that unrealistic dream——————"
"Humanity!"
"Whether it is a hope or a dream, it has been killed by your own hands a long time ago!!!"
The phantom of the Moon Goddess above the ground seemed to be stimulated by Jason and Hercules' behavior to achieve their goals even if they were shattered into pieces, and it showed its anger wantonly without any concealment.
Like a meteor shower, silver light streaked across the sky, falling from the broken night sky.
It's just that compared to the basically harmless meteor shower, this disaster caused by the anger of the Moon Goddess is far more terrifying.
Each falling silver light is enough to easily destroy a city, leaving huge ravines measuring more than ten kilometers on the remaining flat ground.
Although her appearance is still beautiful, her behavior is far from the original goddess.
On the fast-moving Argonauts, Animusfia, who was cursing in her heart, and Jason, who was about to disappear, barely looked back, while facing the goddess Luna, who suddenly became emotional. It's more or less surprising, but it's still reasonable.
"That's true."
Looking at the out-of-proportion goddess Luna, Animusfia glanced at her in surprise and said as expected.
Animusfia expected that the Moon Goddess would be aroused by their behavior, but it was surprising that Luna would have such a big reaction.
It seems that even gods can be filled with rage.
So why does the goddess Luna, who is supposed to love humans, hate humans even more than the Greek gods who have usurped her name and throne? She even kills her own companions and destroys the ecosystem on this planet. Woolen cloth.
Recalling his former wife, Jason was thoughtful.
Women are generally terrible creatures.
At least that's what Jason thought.
Therefore, Jason could still understand that the goddess Luna would show such a hysterical side, and even because it was too similar to the witch's hysteria, he felt a subtle sense of pressure.
The main point of Jason's surprise was precisely that the incredibly orthodox Moon Goddess could have such a mortal side.
But Luna's anger just inspired him to have little confidence in Animusfiya and others.
"What an ugly god. He is so weak that he takes revenge on humans."
Jason laughed contemptuously.
That probably proves that humans can also make gods angry.
"Why would I do this? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Take a good look at yourself in the mirror, ridiculous goddess, and appreciate your own ugliness. I can see your expression, why don't I What would you do?"
"Jason————!"
Luna's shadow on the earth gritted its teeth and looked at Jason, who stood on the shoulders of Heracles after shooting the last arrow together.
However, Jason responded to Luna with his usual mocking smile without fear.
Although he always said that humans cannot defeat the gods, if one day he could really make those superior gods unhappy, Jason thought that he would probably do it first than anyone else.
For example, now.
"Even a god would show such an ugly look?"
Jason thought this at the last moment before disappearing.
So let’s talk about the life of “hero” Jason.
His father Aeson's throne was usurped by his uncle Pelias and he was exiled outside the city.
After Jason was born in the wilderness, Jason and Jason's mother Polymene, in order to protect Jason from being killed by Pelias, pretended that the child had died at birth and buried her with tears. "Dead baby".
However, in reality, Jason was sent to the cave of the famous sage Chiron shortly after his birth, and accepted his teachings and upbringing as Chiron's student.
Jason, who had grown up in this way for twenty years, after learning about his life experience from Chiron, he was still young and simply embarked on a journey to ask for the throne from his uncle———— ————
That's what happened on the Argonauts afterwards.
"Have you forgotten all of Chiron's teachings?"
Jason, who was deceived by his uncle Pelias and set sail for the throne, was questioned by Hercules on the Argonauts.
"Even if you find the Golden Fleece, it's impossible for your uncle to transfer the throne to you."
"How is it possible? This is a gentleman's agreement between me and him. Besides, uncle is not actually a person who is greedy for power. It's just because his father is too weak that he chose to replace him. Now since I am a man of great talent and strategy, and Uncle Pelias will naturally hand over his authority obediently."
Standing on the Argonaut, which was sailing through the waves, staring at the sea breeze and the rising sun, Jason vowed.
"madness."
Hercules said rather disdainfully.
"Hmph, I know very well what you are worried about, Hercules. But I have won the favor of the Queen Hera with my noble character. With the help of the gods, I am considered Pelias. So what if we break the contract?”
"Hera and noble moral character..."
After hearing Jason's words, Hercules frowned and thought carefully.
"………………Feel sorry."
But before Heracles could finish thinking about whether Jason possessed what people said was a noble virtue, his thoughts were interrupted by an apology from Jason after he was silent.
"Um?"
Hercules, who finally decided to board the Argo rather than travel alone, thought that Jason had seen through Jason because he was also a student of that sage and was raised by him. He is a human being and thinks that he only has what he looks like.
But the sudden apology from Jason surprised Hercules.
He originally thought that someone as arrogant and arrogant as Jason would have forgotten all of Chiron's teachings.
However, it seems now that Chiron obviously had his own considerations in choosing Jason as his student.
But Heracles was still confused as to why Jason was apologizing.
"Hercules, although you have already praised Hera from the beginning of your name, the relationship between you and the Queen of Heaven - Hera should be very bad, it is more than that, because of the existence of the Queen of Heaven You are accepted by the gods, but you are also not accepted by the human world."
"………………"
Faced with these facts, even Heracles could only silently acquiesce.
"In the face of such a miserable you, I have to talk about my beautiful talk about becoming a king soon and my destiny to be a king when I am born. I even got help from the gods who have always hated you! I am so sorry for you. Speaking of which, speaking of my life has already provoked your jealousy. Will the two goddesses of good and evil appear in front of you again and let you choose which path to embark on? He Raculus.”
"you……"
Looking at the triumphant Jason in front of him, who had been completely swallowed up by pride and arrogance, Heracles decided to adjust the higher rating of Jason in his heart.
Seeing that it was no longer possible to correct Jason's wonderful confidence in his own ability to win the throne, Hercules decided to start with reality.
"But the Golden Fleece, the treasure stored in Colchis, has nothing to do with your family, right? The so-called uncle who is your father's half-brother has lied to you from the beginning. The Golden Fleece has no relationship at all. It shouldn’t be taken back.”
"So what? If the Golden Fleece can bring me glory and power, so what if it doesn't belong to my family?"
Jason's words made Heracles' eyes widen.
"Look behind you, Hercules."
As he spoke, Jason opened his hands behind him and pointed at the other crew members on the ship who were drinking and having fun.
"Many of the heroes here gathered on this ship after hearing that I was going to sea to find the Golden Fleece. Do they care about the true ownership of the Golden Fleece? Unfortunately, no one cares! Everyone only cares about themselves. Will you share this honor? Will you become my crew member?"
Jason kept saying the words "my crew" word by word.
"Aren't you? Hercules."
And Hercules' brows gradually wrinkled under Jason's words.
"Many heroes? If you take risks with such a purpose, what will happen even if you finally get the Golden Fleece? Whether you can get glory--how can you be called a hero?"
"Compared to a great hero like you, we are probably not heroes from head to toe."
Somewhat discouraged, Jason let out a long sigh.
"In that case, why did you choose to go to sea?"
"That's a very simple truth. This adventure will not bring me glory, nor will it bring me the so-called hero's name, Heracles. But these are not what I want at all - ———, what I want to do is not a hero at all, Hercules, I want to be a king."
".........Even if that crown of power will make you do whatever it takes?"
Hercules' disgust for the arrogant Jason in front of him has almost reached its extreme. It is his limit not to choose to draw his bow and arrow on the spot to kill this greedy man.
"Whatever means, as long as it can achieve the correct result."
With a slightly hoarse voice, Jason said this.
……………………
……………………
After a long silence, Hercules spoke again.
"Why are you so obsessed with being the king?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha that is really an interesting question, Hercules. Why do you ask such a question? Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to be a king?"
Jason laughed at this.
However, Jason's laughter slowly stopped when faced with Heracles's iron-clad but cold expression.
"Ah————, I almost forgot, you are also Professor Chiron's student."
Jason rubbed his hair with some distress, then ignored his hair that was messed up by his own hands and said:
"Indeed, for Professor Chiron and his students, and for people like you Hercules, the position of king is not a rare thing at all. ————In fact, I had no right to the king at first. Guan is so persistent. When he knew that he was actually qualified to inherit the throne, he just did it because it was interesting.
But do you know what I saw in that city? Hercules, in just one day, I saw several atrocious crimes in the city ruled by my uncle Pelias. This is probably considered normal, after all, this is how human beings are. Creatures, but the eyes of the residents in that city felt strange to me. Their eyes were full of uneasiness and fear of others.
Having lived with Professor Chiron since I was a child, I have never seen many other people's eyes, but you should be familiar with such eyes, Hercules. "
Faced with Jason's inquiry, although Heracles wanted to deny it, he was unable to do so.
That's because, until now, even the crew on the Argonaut, except for Jason, are more or less wary of him.
Just look at the eyes and you will know.
Even Hylas is no exception.
This was another reason why Hercules was willing to continue accompanying Jason on the subject.
Seeing that Heracles did not deny it, Jason continued:
"This is not your fault, Hercules, nor is it the fault of the civilians. Although they are stupid, their self-preservation has not reached the wrong level. After all, even if they see things like ligers and tigers Even a ferocious beast like you would tremble, let alone you who can easily kill a tiger.
However, since it is neither your fault nor the fault of the civilians, whose fault is this uneasiness? When I met Pelias and my 'uncle', I knew the answer.
do you know? The king who suppressed the rebellion for my father Aeson, and finally drove my father out of the city, and sat on the throne for more than twenty years, my uncle, Pelias, when he saw my At the first glance, there was actually uneasiness in his eyes.
I've since learned the answer.
Even the king lives in uneasiness all day long, how can his kingdom and his people feel at ease!
And that's when I began to believe that with the help of the gods, my destiny in this life is to become a king, and to become a king of excellence praised by others! "
At this point, Jason stopped speaking and looked at Heracles sincerely with his eyes.
"Believe me, Hercules, this Argonaut, this heroic ship full of heroes, is just the starting point of my dream. Since I am the captain, there will be no more heroes on this ship. There is uneasiness!
And then finally, I will reveal before your eyes my kingdom, a country where no one will be troubled. That country... you heard me clearly, in that country, absolutely no one will be afraid of seeing you! "
"………………"
From this moment on, Hercules had a completely new appreciation for the man named Jason.
Although he forgot the teachings of his common teacher Chiron, he became a sad man who only worked hard for his own desires all day long. But there was nothing false about the absurd daydream that the man advocated.
"Are you that confident?"
"Of course, I have the help of gods!"
"Gods...gods are not so reliable."
Hearing this, Hercules shook his head helplessly, but then he raised his head and continued:
"However, I personally sincerely hope to see the day when you become king, Captain."
