Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 184 God's Gift

Back in the underworld, Hades summoned a group of vicious underworld gods from hell, they are Apata, the god of deceit, Geras, the god of age, Oges, the god of sorrow, Momes, the god of reproach, and the three goddesses of violent death. The child of Keris, a distant relative of Atte, the goddess of destruction, and Eris, the goddess of dispute.

The names are respectively: Penos representing labor, Remos representing famine, Allegons representing pain, Disnomia representing disorder, Psudea representing lies, Neia representing disputes, representing Anfilogya for disputes, Ma Kehai for war, Xusminai for fighting, and Androdasia and Fnoy for massacre and murder.

Hades ordered the evil gods to all enter the narrow box, and once the lid was opened, they could be free.

After hearing this, the gods were terrified, and Remos, who represented the famine, begged pitifully: "Great Hades, the heroic king of the underworld, you are the star hanging from the sky, lighting up the darkness and silence in the ground.

I pray from the bottom of my heart, please tell us, what mistake have we made?To be punished for crowding in such a box. "

Atlas blinked, without the slightest emotion in his eyes, and said: "Zeus intends to make mankind full of disasters. This is not my order, but his order. When the box is opened, you can be free.

Then disease, violence, deceit, sorrow, and lust, once befallen, never leave. "

Hearing his words, all the evil gods looked at each other, "Since it is the order of the king of gods, of course we dare not disobey."

As they spoke, the Hades reluctantly turned into black mist and poured into the box.

When the last evil god entered it, Atlas thought again.

Disasters are one of the driving forces for human progress, but there should not be only disasters in the world. Good things will also be the driving force for human beings to strive for.

Ever since, he summoned another beautiful elf-like girl with starry eyes, long smooth and shiny hair, exquisite facial features, and fair skin.

If Hera is the moon in the sky, the girl in front of her is the morning light in the mountains. She is shining white and always makes people feel peaceful.

She is one of the daughters of Nyx, the goddess of the night, and she is also a rare positive representative in the underground filled with evil gods.

She is the goddess of hope, Elpis.

"Great Hades, what are your orders for calling me here? I am willing to do everything within my power for you."

Elpis bowed slightly politely, showing respect to Atlas.

The Pluto in front of him looks at the shadows, but he is not a tyrannical person. At least, he has trained all the evil gods to be as well-behaved as dogs, so that the dark underworld is no longer so smoky.

Atlas said: "Elpis, Zeus wants to fill the world with disorderly disasters, it is conceivable that the world will inevitably undergo great changes because of this.

But Prometheus paid a lot. He was willing to be eaten by eagles for the sake of human beings. His efforts should not be let down. "

As he spoke, he walked forward slowly, looked down at the shining girl in front of him, and said, "You also enter the box, as soon as you see the lid of the box is opened, immediately rush out, and bring hope to the earth amidst the disaster! !"

Hearing his words, Elpis nodded, secretly thinking that Lord Pluto is indeed a gentle man, so he also turned into a white mist and poured into the box.

At this point, Atlas put the lid back on and took the box to Mount Olympus.

When he returned to the palace in his carriage, Zeus had been waiting for a long time, and asked impatiently, "How is it? My brother, is the matter settled?"

"Of course! I'll do things, don't worry!" Atlas handed the box to the other party very firmly. Zeus shook the box, only to feel that it was heavy and a little heavy.

After confirming, he turned his gaze to the gods and said, "Then, who will give this gift to the God of Houjue?"

He glanced over and finally landed on Athena.

The God of Wisdom and War had no choice but to stand up and take the box, saying, "Leave it to me, and I will take care of the matter."

At the same time, on the top of the Caucasus Mountain, Epimetheus looked at his tortured brother hanging on the cliff, feeling extremely tormented.

An eagle pecked at the internal organs of the God of Foresight, causing him unbearable pain, and let out a dull roar. Blood flowed down his chest and dripped down the cliff along his toes, staining him blood red.

Epimetheus wanted to help drive away the eagle, but he was no match for others, and he was almost thrown down the mountain by the strong wind blown by his wings.

"Brother, brother Prometheus, what should I do? How can I help you?"

At night, when the eagle had eaten and drunk, Epimetheus climbed up to the cliff and tried to smash the chain with stones.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The loud noise continued, but the chain was intact.

"Don't waste any more effort, this is the unbreakable chain created by the god of fire, Hephaestus." Prometheus struggled and said, "My fate is already doomed, and I cannot escape. Doom, the person who can save me has not yet been born.

but my dear brother"

Halfway through speaking, he choked out another but.

"But what? Brother, tell me quickly!!"

Epimetheus scratched his head anxiously, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Prometheus coughed. His internal organs had been pecked clean and were growing slowly. Every step was itchy, numb and painful, but all of this was his own choice, and he had already foreseen the consequences .

He said: "The revenge of the gods is far more than that, Zeus also wants to make our brothers lose their place in the hearts of mankind.

I foresee that they will give you a gift, it is a dark box, promise me, never accept it, they have evil intentions and want to harm us. "

Hearing his brother's warning, Epimetheus nodded in horror, and left Caucasus Mountain in a daze.

However, when he walked to the foot of the mountain, he happened to meet the God of Wisdom and War.

Athena Shi Shiran descended from the sky, with a woman behind her, holding a dark box in her hand.

What kind of beautiful woman is that?
Just smelling the fragrance emanating from her body, Epimetheus stiffened Jill, his eyes were dull, as if there was only one woman in front of him in the world at this moment.

It's not that the other party's charm is great, well, her charm is indeed great, after all, it is a figurine carefully fabricated by the god of fire, Hephaestus.

Back then when Nuwa couldn't pinch it, she just took willow branches stained with mud and sprinkled them all over the air.

The degree of intention of the two is obviously different, so some people are ugly, while others are beautiful.

In short, it was an extremely beautiful woman, and Epimetheus fell in love at first sight, and the deer ran wild.

The fragrance bestowed by the God of Love is like a drug, which fascinates the God of After-Awareness.

Athena took advantage of the situation and said: "Epimetheus, the king of the gods has clear rewards and punishments. Although your brother made a big mistake, you have perfectly fulfilled the order of the king of gods. You have shaped human beings and distributed talents. You His achievements cannot be erased.”

As she spoke, she pushed Pandora closer and said, "This is a gift from the gods. If you like, you can make her your wife."

Hearing her words, before the god of afterthought said anything, Pandora stepped forward step by step, and hugged Epimetheus's arm silently. , can't believe it.

"Really? But my brother said"

"Your brother is your brother, and you are you!" Before he finished speaking, Athena interrupted, saying: "Zeus has clear rewards and punishments, and never involves the innocent. He said he would reward you, and he will reward you." you."

"Then can I just want women and not that box?"

Pointing to the black box that Pandora was holding, he said hesitantly.

Prometheus had told him not to accept gifts from the gods, especially the black box. Although he liked the woman in front of him, he had to listen to what the elder brother said.

Athena shook her head when she heard the words, "The box is the dowry given to Pandora by the gods, and it must be given together. If you really don't want it, then don't open it."

The god of hindsight thought about it, yes, as long as I don't open it, it shouldn't be considered a violation of my brother's words.

So, he accepted the gift.

Prometheus' explanation was directly forgotten by him, and he was already impressed by Pandora's exquisite appearance and superb skills.

The two lived together shamelessly, and soon gave birth to a daughter named "Pyla".

Pyla was weak from the urine, but fortunately she was protected by another person, the son of Prometheus.

You may find it strange that this kid is so quiet, how come he has another son?
In fact, this was the daughter of Prometheus and Oceanus, the god of the ocean, before he was captured.

There are many daughters of the Ocean God, each with a variety of styles, and many of them don't like to wear clothes. Even the God of Foresight will inevitably do some things he likes to do.

In short, he and the ocean goddess Pronoa gave birth to a boy, named: "Deucalion".

The two are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and grew up together since childhood, and their lives are boundless.

On this day, Epimetheus was called for help by human beings, asking him to deal with the disputes between the two tribes, but he realized later and always forgot important things.

That is Pandora's curiosity. This woman is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but she has an unparalleled curiosity.

"Why is the sky blue? Why is the sea salty?
Why is the earth so vast?Why do trees grow upwards? "

When she sees every minute and every inch of the world, she will keep asking questions curiously. Rao Epimetheus, who is very erudite and very knowledgeable, is also dizzy when asked.

Maybe he wanted to escape and gain a moment of peace, but he didn't take Pandora away.

However, this stay can leave things behind.

"Mom, my shoes are missing."

The well-behaved daughter Pyla rummaged through boxes and boxes, and was going to go on an outing with Deucalion's brother today. She had prepared everything, but she was missing her favorite pair of shoes.

After turning over and over again, she found a black box. Just when she was about to open it, Pandora came over to stop her in time.

"Don't move, there are no shoes for you in that box."

"What the hell is in there?" Pyra asked naively.

How did Pandora know, she could only shake her head, "I don't know, but this is a gift from the gods, and your father doesn't want to open it."

"Then why don't we open it and have a look? A gift from the gods, how precious is that?"

In a word, it can be said that it touched Pandora's heart. She wanted to open this box for a long time, but Epimetheus guarded it like a family heirloom and refused to touch it.

Don't you know, how many times has she played with the heirloom of the god of hindsight, and now a box is as precious as anything.

Facing her daughter's proposal, Pandora wavered: "Then take a look?"

"Yeah." Pila Chick nodded as if pecking at rice.

"Don't let your father know yet."

"Well, I promise to keep it secret."

The two prodigal girls immediately tried to open a gap in the lid of the box.

In the next second, the whole box suddenly trembled, and there were countless shouts of scrambling: "Open, open, open the box, run!!"

The evil gods huddled in this small space every day, and they were so bored that they almost went crazy. When they saw a little gap, they couldn't wait to swarm open the lid of the box.

All of a sudden, the wind was surging, the black mist filled the air, and endless diseases, famine, pain, and lies swarmed out, laughing and breaking open the box cover, breaking through the doors and windows, and rushing in all directions.

The evil gods grinned ferociously, and Pandora's mother and daughter were trembling with terrifying faces, saying, "Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong."

Seeing her daughter Pila crying in fright, Pandora did not know where her courage came from, forced herself to calm down, rushed forward like crazy, and slammed the box again.

Coincidentally, Elpis, who represented hope, was squeezed to the last one because he couldn't compete with the evil god.

Just when she was about to fly out of the lid of the box and bring hope to the world, there was a bang, such a big lid suddenly covered her head, and the girl who hit her was covered with big bags, and fell hard on the box with a bang. bottom of.

Since then, all kinds of disasters have filled the earth, sky and sea.Diseases spread among men day and night, raging, and silently, because Zeus did not let them make a sound.All kinds of fevers are rampant on the earth, and the god of death is running wildly in the world, harvesting souls.

Pandora got into a catastrophe and trembled with fear, but Elpis, who represented hope, still kept in mind Pluto's order, and quickly shouted loudly, begging for the other party to open the lid of the box.

"I hope, I am a god who brings the beauty of the earth, open the lid quickly, otherwise human beings will perish."

She cried and begged loudly, but Pandora had already become a frightened bird. How could she believe it?

The gods gave such a vicious gift, she took it for granted that the god inside was an evil god, and the other party was just lying.

And precisely because of her actions today, the world at this moment has lost hope, laying the seeds of disaster for the subsequent extinction.
