Just as the invited gods stood at the entrance of the hall, gazing at everything inside and still not fully recovered from their daze.
A figure appeared, dressed in a stunning qipao that accentuated her allure. On her face was a smile laced with subtle mischief, different from the typical grace of other goddesses, adding an extra layer of seductive charm.
Typhon, transformed into a white-haired goddess with hair reaching her waist, held a silver tray in her hand. On it rested tall goblets filled with exquisite wine. She approached God King Zeus and the others with captivating steps.
"Respected King of the Gods, God King Zeus, noble Ruler of the Seas, Sea Emperor Poseidon, great War God Ares. May I ask if there is anything you need?"
"Need?"
At this moment, Zeus and Poseidon's eyes were practically glued straight ahead.
Their gazes were completely captivated by Typhon's qipao, which revealed her snow-white skin in just the right, tantalizing glimpses.
Even Apollo and Ares were no better off.
Hermes looked at their lecherous expressions and a flicker of disdain passed subtly through his eyes.
He completely forgot that not long ago, when he first witnessed this dazzling sight, his own reaction had been no better.
Hera and the others frowned slightly upon seeing this, a hint of displeasure in their eyes.
At that moment, Jason approached unobtrusively, picked up one of the tall goblets filled with divine wine from the silver tray in Typhon's hand, and said to the gods, "Great God King Zeus, this is a goblet forged by my teacher Hephaestus. It perfectly preserves the flavor of the wine.
Moreover, this wine is from the private collection of Underworld King Hades. I hope you all enjoy it."
"And to the great Queen Hera, Goddess of the Hearth Hestia, and Moon Goddess Artemis, if you do not care for wine, here we have freshly squeezed juice from the finest fruits. I hope you enjoy it as well."
Jason's voice drew the gods' attention back.
Their gazes instantly focused on the exquisite, never-before-seen dining vessels in Jason's hand.
"And not only that."
At this time, Underworld King Hades also walked over and gestured for the gods to look toward a nearby corner, where several nymph maidens were serving a variety of delicate foods. He said, "In addition to this wine, there are many confections over there. I think you would like them very much, Moon Goddess Artemis.
By the way, most of those exquisite pastries were handmade by this child."
As Hades spoke, Jason lightly clapped his hands, signaling several nymphs dressed in maid outfits to come over. They then led Zeus and the others away.
Queen Hera, though she had the intention to deepen her bond with the white-clad Heracles who was right in front of her, found her attention completely drawn to the items in the hall.
Whether it was the confections made under Jason's guidance or the various utensils and tools crafted by Jason together with Hephaestus, each one stirred the gods' curiosity and tugged at their hearts.
Even Hephaestus herself, who had forged about eighty percent of the utensils on site, was captivated by the scene.
The goddess Themis, her eyes covered by a white cloth and representing absolute justice, had also blended in under the guidance of Second-Generation Queen Rhea.
Thus, they directly left Jason and Hades behind and, led by the nymph maidens in their outfits, went to explore this new realm.
"What are you trying to do?"
After they left, Jason, who had brought Typhon to a corner, could not help but furrow his brow.
"Oh my." Typhon placed a hand over her mouth, laughing elegantly yet seductively. "Little Jason is angry. Rest assured, I will not do anything.
After all, my father is enjoying this wedding very much as well."
As Typhon spoke, her gaze shifted to the side.
In a nearby corner, several deities were gathered around something.
The item placed there was a Go board.
Abyss God Tartarus, transformed into an elderly man, was teaching the curious gods who had gathered how to play Go.
In order to teach more people this fascinating game. To put it bluntly, he wanted to crush some beginners and vent the frustration of being beaten by Typhon every day, to have a good time.
Jason followed Typhon's gaze, then looked at the Typhon before him.
After a long moment, Jason sighed with a headache.
He actually knew that Typhon probably would not do anything.
Because if she had no intention of leaving the abyss on her own, she would absolutely not reveal her identity at this moment.
But if you are not planning to do anything, could you stop prancing around in front of Zeus and the others like you are hopping back and forth at the edge of a ten-thousand-zhang abyss?
Just as Jason was shouting this inwardly.
"By the way, little Jason, you are truly remarkable."
As Jason looked at Typhon in puzzlement while she said this, Typhon leaned forward slightly. Her hand, gloved in white silk, grasped the thin fabric at her chest and gently pulled it downward.
This drew Jason's eyes directly to that glimpse of snow-white.
"Such attire was actually thought up by you, little Jason. It is truly impressive.
Hee hee, tell your sister. For such clothes, who do you most want to see wearing them for you?
Is it Moon Goddess Artemis, or your little senior sister Medea, or perhaps your teacher Hephaestus? Or could it be Hecate and Athena?"
As Typhon spoke, her eyes grew increasingly crimson, filled with excitement. She continued, "But if it is the Goddess of Wisdom Athena, I would suggest that black-and-white outfit you call the maid costume. If Athena wore it to serve you, it would surely have a unique flavor!"
Jason had not truly considered such irreverent thoughts during this period.
Because he had been extremely busy.
But with Typhon's teasing words, various beautiful scenes involuntarily flashed through Jason's mind.
"Hee hee, little Jason." Typhon approached and gently stroked Jason's cheek with her hand, laughing. "I can smell the scent of desire on you. Oh..."
Before Typhon could finish, Jason, who had snapped back to his senses, pushed her away in a panic.
Typhon crossed her arms over her chest and gave Jason a flirtatious eye-roll.
"S-Sorry, great goddess. I, this. In any case, great goddess, today is the wedding of the Underworld King and Underworld Queen, so I hope..."
"Hee hee hee, alright, I will stop teasing you. Honestly." Seeing Jason truly panic, Typhon burst out laughing, then said, "Rest assured. I swear by the River Styx that I absolutely will not cause any trouble today. After all, you invited me despite such great risks, and I am very happy about that, Jason."
"And also..."
As Typhon spoke, she came close to Jason's ear and whispered seductively, "Little Jason, do you think I look beautiful in this outfit?
If Hecate, Athena, and the others cannot satisfy you, I can fulfill all your desires.
As long as you are willing to give everything to me, I will give everything of mine to you as well."
This was the temptation from the Ancestor of All Demons, Typhon, that pierced straight to the heart.
Jason's entire body shivered involuntarily.
He lifted his head and met Typhon's bewitching eyes.
Typhon licked her lips lightly and left one final whisper in Jason's ear. "Moreover, speaking of which, little Jason, the power of the demonic spear I gave you, which you wear inside that silver bag, Hecate can barely suppress it anymore, right?
I look forward to the day you come to my side. When that time arrives, I will do my utmost to love you properly, my cute child."
Leaving such words behind, Typhon departed from Jason's side with a melodious laugh.
Only after she left did the tense Jason relax, leaning against the wall and placing a hand on his chest to calm his racing heart.
Dealing with the Ancestor of All Demons, Typhon, was an extremely dangerous affair.
Jason had known this from the beginning. No, in his heart, he had always been fully aware of it.
Because the cunning and powerful Ancestor of All Demons, Typhon, was like the devil, the enemy of God, a perfect embodiment of absolute evil.
The only difference was that in ancient Greece, the 'God' was the King of the Gods, Zeus, who was himself a devil, harboring no shred of pity for humanity in his heart.
The capricious Olympian gods, while gaining more human-like traits that reduced their lofty divinity and allowed them to interact with mortals,
also, because of this, wielded divine authority without the matching divinity. In truth, this made Jason feel even more afraid of them.
So what if it was a dance with the devil?
In Jason's eyes, whether it was the Ancestor of All Demons, Typhon, or the King of the Gods, Zeus, there was not much difference.
In fact, in Jason's view, Typhon might even be cuter and easier to get along with than Zeus.
Several hours passed.
Led by the Hellhound Cerberus, transformed into a little loli, and the humans under the guidance of the centaur sage Chiron, whom Jason had entrusted, they also arrived one after another.
Jason exchanged simple greetings with them and hosted them briefly before realizing that the time was almost up.
"Teacher Chiron, it seems I cannot continue hosting you. And Teacher Chiron, please keep an eye on Senior Brother Heracles and the others for a bit."
Jason gestured toward the gods present and said to the centaur sage Chiron.
Chiron looked at the gods on site, then at the humans beside him who were stunned by everything before them, and nodded lightly, indicating he understood what to do.
"Oh, right, child. About that matter with Io..."
Suddenly remembering something, Chiron was about to speak to Jason when he saw Jason slip away quickly.
"This child, after going through so much, really has not changed at all."
Chiron found it amusing, but then his brows furrowed deeply. He said, "But this cannot go on. If it continues like this, Jason will end up without a companion for life. Perhaps I should discuss it with Goddess Hephaestus and Goddess Hecate?"
Jason did not hear Chiron's mutter. After leaving the humans, Jason scanned the lively hall and saw that the gods were enjoying themselves immensely, especially Sea Emperor Poseidon and God King Zeus.
One of them was surrounded by several nymph maidens in maid outfits, whispering slightly risqué words and teasing them.
Naturally, this drew no small amount of angry glares from goddesses like Hera.
Jason had no doubt that if there were not so many gods present, including several primordial deities, and if this were not the wedding site of Underworld King Hades,
Zeus and the others would hardly be able to hold back. They would likely grab one or two nymphs in these outfits and head straight to a dark corner.
Shaking his head helplessly, Jason searched briefly before arriving beside the goddess of beauty Aphrodite. She was dressed in an exquisite embroidered gown with red hair reaching her waist, standing next to Hephaestus and speaking to the helpless-looking Hephaestus.
"Teacher Hephaestus. Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite, I am now preparing to go receive Sister Persephone."
Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly to Jason. "Is that so? I understand. Rest assured, I remember everything you said."
"No, I would never doubt you, Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite. I came here only to express my thanks to you."
Jason said respectfully to Aphrodite, "Without you, this wedding would not have proceeded smoothly until now."
"Save the thanks for later. Everything is not over yet. Child, I am looking forward to the true wedding moment soon."
The most beautiful goddess Aphrodite smiled at Jason and said, "I eagerly await witnessing the tribute you offer to the Underworld King and the others. At the same time, I am full of anticipation for the day you offer one to me."
"Hey!" Hephaestus looked at Aphrodite displeased. "Do not pressure my child!"
"You are not happy about it, of course. You have already received your tribute!" Aphrodite glanced sideways at Hephaestus. "But I have not.
This child has let me witness such wonderful tributes. How could I not look forward to it? You all agree, do you not?"
Aphrodite raised her voice slightly.
Thus, the nearby Hestia, Second-Generation Queen Rhea, Sea Empress Amphitrite, and the others, who had not yet received tributes, all nodded in unison.
Seeing this, Jason's mouth twitched slightly.
Great Moon Goddess Artemis, why are you nodding along so seriously in the mix.
Jason did not want to engage in this topic; he felt his head throbbing.
And upon hearing that Jason was preparing to leave, Underworld King Hades immediately came before him, his voice filled with expectation. "Jason, then I..."
"Great Underworld King Hades, brother-in-law, please wait just a moment longer."
Looking at Hades's current appearance, Jason said with a slight amusement, "Rest assured. I am going to bring Sister Persephone over right now. Lord Hermes, I leave brother-in-law Hades to you."
"No problem. Leave it to me!"
Hermes agreed with exceptional enthusiasm.
The reason was simple. Seeing everything before him, Hermes increasingly felt that currying favor with Jason was a very promising endeavor!
