Chapter 253
He was simply tasked with restoring Human Order; fame and glory meant nothing to him.
Joining the Argo was solely for the purpose of completing Athena's trials and gaining the assistance of the Olympian Gods.
"You really are different..."
Atalanta looked up at the moonlight and muttered something softly.
All those so-called heroes combined can't compare to the man beside me.
During the voyage.
The sea suddenly began to churn wildly, and a small island emerged from the water.
Standing atop it was a beautiful young woman of exceptional beauty.
Looking at the ship full of heroes, she called out, "My heroes, could I have a moment of your time? I wish to tell you about our god!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Jason gave the order without hesitation.
Even before setting sail, he knew he would encounter terrifying monsters on the ocean.
"It seems you are not qualified to be followers of our gods, so die!" The girl grinned, revealing two rows of ferocious teeth.
Then, the small island beneath its feet began to extend menacing tentacles, some tens of meters long.
It turns out that the so-called beautiful girl was just a monster in disguise.
The battle erupted instantly.
Heroes without ranged attacks are mostly left standing on the ship, struggling against the tentacles.
Nameless and Atalanta frantically drew their bows and fired arrows, bombarding the monster.
But.
After the monster's tentacles were blasted apart, they could be easily healed in an instant, completely unaffected.
"Someone needs to go and cut off the monster's head!"
The nameless man looked at the captain in front of him with a serious expression.
"Hey, how do we get there?"
Jason swallowed hard.
That monster is in the sea; its tentacles could easily wipe out the heroes.
Moreover, the monster's protection of the beautiful girl's head was extremely thorough, with a powerful magical barrier that easily blocked the arrows.
"Then I'll have to trouble the strongman next to you for a bit of help."
The nameless figure gazed upon the future Hercules.
"No problem!"
Heracles nodded without hesitation.
Then he grabbed Jason and stood at the bow of the ship, spinning him rapidly.
"Ahhh, put me down!"
Jason couldn't help but shout loudly.
Unfortunately, it was no use. Heracles' unparalleled brute force propelled him directly towards the monster.
[The swordsman who performs a spinning thrust!]
Jason seemed to transform into an arrow, suddenly piercing through the monster's countless tentacles.
He slashed fiercely at the beautiful girl's head, severing her on the spot!
The countless wildly flailing tentacles suddenly stopped moving.
The monster has been killed!
After Jason returned to the ship in a disheveled state, he couldn't help but angrily ask, "What if I had encountered danger?"
"But we solved the problem."
The nameless man smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "In the future, your heroic slaying of this monster will be recorded, and you will become Great Hero sung by thousands!"
The onlookers burst into laughter.
[Damn, Nameless clearly launched Jason Noble Phantasm!]
[Arash: You're Great Hero too? Why can you come back and continue fighting after you launch yourself?]
[Congratulations to Jason for obtaining the title "Spinning Thrust Yellow Swordsman"!]
I wonder how Jason would react if he saw this in real life. I'm kind of looking forward to it!
In reality, Fuyuki City.
Chen Gong's eyes lit up. "I knew it! Wuming and I are the same kind of people!"
"Don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with you!" Zhuge Liang instantly took a step back.
"Look, Nameless is just like me; he knows how to maximize the value of his companions!"
Chen Gong pointed to the scene on the screen where Jason was being thrown.
The opponent is a swordsman and has no means to approach monsters from a distance.
However, at the suggestion of the nameless one, Heracles simply threw Jason at the monster like a cannonball, easily defeating it.
His strategy was just as perfect!
"But Jason survived!" Zhuge Liang's lips twitched.
They may sound the same, but they are fundamentally different.
Even nameless individuals only maximize their comrades' fighting ability if the priority is ensuring their survival.
But you, Chen Gong, are aiming to unleash your companions' power as quickly as possible, like a shooting star, while ensuring their inevitable death!
"There's not much difference! When I meet Wuming again, I must cooperate well with him; he understands me!"
Chen Gong, however, didn't care at all, and looked at the nameless person on the screen with a big smile.
"..."
Zhuge Liang decided to stay away from this guy from now on.
If I get killed by the nameless sword, at least I won't have to spit blood on him!
The video continues.
Jason paused for a moment, then asked, "Is that so?"
"That's right!" Mashu nodded as well.
In the mythology she knew, the other party was Great Hero sung by thousands, except for the somewhat unfortunate ending.
"Oh, okay then..."
Jason stopped worrying about it.
These two are from the future, so naturally they know his future fate.
Since he's Great Hero celebrated by thousands, then there's no problem.
The Argo continued its journey.
Battles erupted time and again during the journey that followed.
There are sea monsters, shore robbers, and all sorts of other monsters.
Countless images flashed by.
After overcoming countless hardships, we finally arrived at Colchis Island!
Heracles had already left midway to continue completing his Twelve Labors.
After all, Athena's main purpose was to force Nameless to complete the Golden Fleece Trial, which had little to do with him.
Atalanta, too, was forced to leave under the Moon God's mission.
After landing on the island.
The group arrived at the royal palace.
Jason stood before the king and said, "Your Majesty, I have suffered persecution at the hands of my uncle since childhood, and to exact revenge, I must obtain the Golden Fleece!"
He told the other party everything, without hiding anything.
"You're very frank, but the Golden Fleece is a national treasure of our Colchis. How could we possibly give it to you so easily?"
The king sat on his throne, held up two fingers, and said, "If you can do two things, I'll give them to you!"
"What is it?" Jason's spirits lifted.
"The first thing I do is have two Divine Bulls. At dawn, I ride them to plow the fields and plant the Dragon Teeth, and at night I harvest the Dragon-Tooth Warriors."
The king then continued, "The second thing is that the dragon guards the Golden Fleece; you have to go and get it yourself!"
Two things, each more difficult than the last.
Jason's face turned much paler.
Wait until it's over.
He couldn't help but ask, "Nameless, what should I do?"
"Captain, as long as we keep moving forward, the flower of hope will eventually bloom. So, don't stop!"
Wuming reached out and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.
"Then I'm doomed!"
Jason's face grew increasingly pale.
That poisonous dragon kept calling everyone a dragon-slaying hero.
It's unknown how many Great Hero it has devoured.
The video footage changes.
A girl with purple hair appeared.
He was standing in his Magecraft workshop, looking at a small mirror in front of him.
Jason and others appeared above.
This purple-haired girl is, of course, the princess of the Kingdom of Colchis.
Medea!
She hummed a lullaby softly, glancing at her reflection in the large, bright mirror beside her.
"Holding this True Magic that signifies her status as a witch, with flowing purple hair, her beauty and talent radiating a light that would make even the sun squint in admiration—who is this stunning beauty?"
The girl twirled around, her smile growing even brighter.
"That's right, it's me, Medea, the little princess of Colchis!"
These words shocked countless onlookers.
[Holy crap, it's Medea! Your cruel, tyrannical, and ruthless witch image has crumbled!]
[I never imagined Medea was like this as a child, she's so cute!]
[So cute, she was Little Angel, how could she turn into a witch?]
[Could it be that she really wanted to be with Wuming, but was forcefully rejected, which turned her into a terrifying witch?]
Modern Greece.
"You actually did this before?"
Atalanta looked at the other person with a surprised expression.
This is so different from the image of the crazy and terrifying witch in mythology!
