Chapter 52: True Identity
After a while, when Erica set up the unconscious Kusanagi Godo a little, put him in a safer and open place, and then hurriedly used magic to catch up.
"-Chen Xiaoyao!"
The ground was full of potholes due to the battle between the gods, and the surrounding buildings, forests, and ruins disappeared without a trace, and it was Chen Xiaoyao who stood on the dirt of various colors.
"Oh, Erica, are you and Kusanagi Godo alright?" Chen Xiaoyao turned to look at Erica.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoyao was safe and sound, Erica breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I'm fine, but Kusanagi Godo has been injured a little bit, and I've been treated urgently, so I can rest a little." Erica's voice paused, and then muttered in a somewhat trembling voice, "Kill the gods, Chen Xiaoyao······ The seventh Campione was born. ”
Erica looked at the god-killer in front of her, who was completely worthy of the title of the world's first beauty, and she knew that it would not be long before Chen Xiaoyao would be worshiped as the magician's [king], holding the destiny of the world in her hands.
"Of course, there is no opponent in front of me!"
"Yes."
Erica responded to Chen Xiaoyao's words with a smile on her face.
"Oh, is it already here, Pandora····· Erica, you wait here for a while, I'm going to meet some gods. ”
Chen Xiaoyao didn't wait for Erica to reply, and her body disappeared in front of Erica's eyes, if Erica hadn't listened to Chen Xiaoyao's words just now, she almost thought that Chen Xiaoyao would have left like this.
"Of course, I, Erica, swear by Brontree, that I await your return, King." Erica looked at the place where Chen Xiaoyao disappeared with tenderness.
"Hahaha, it's really useless, Melka, as the God King of Disobedience, you were defeated so easily."
"Shut up, Veleslana. It's not all your golden sword that can kill gods, otherwise how could the old man fail, and after saying that you are known as the undefeated god of war, losing is a greater shame. ”
As soon as Chen Xiaoyao entered, he heard the sound of a child and an adult arguing and laughing.
"Okay, okay, both of you, please be quiet, the guests are here, and it's a shame to make a loud noise in front of the winner~~" The voice that spoke was a sweet and greasy little girl, a mature tone like a young woman, and a slightly demon-like voice.
Because the surroundings were all pure white, and there were only three gods standing alone, Chen Xiaoyao saw them at once, a beautiful young man about fifteen years old, a wild middle-aged man with a height of more than two meters, and a beautiful girl about twelve or thirteen years old.
"Wow~~~~"
The beautiful girl showed an extremely excited look when Chen Xiaoyao walked in, and her two bright eyes turned into star eyes.
"Sure enough! Really! Really! At the time of the Guò ceremony just now, I knew that my child you are definitely more beautiful than all people and goddesses, and now when you look closely, you are still as beautiful as just now, come and hug Mommy! ”
As she spoke, Pandora spread her arms and rushed towards Chen Xiaoyao, then jumped high.
However, just when Pandora was about to hug Chen Xiaoyao, Chen Xiaoyao turned around and shifted, and avoided Pandora's flying hug in a beautiful and chic posture.
"Huh? Huh?······ Wow, woo, it hurts~~~"
Pandora naturally didn't hug Chen Xiaoyao because of Chen Xiaoyao's evasion, and her body continued to fly before, so Pandora wondered why she didn't touch her body? But just when Pandora was wondering, the great theorem of physics opened its fangs, and when Pandora's inertia was almost gone, it fell to the ground of this white space at once, and fell a dog eating.
"Woo, why! Why~~~ Mother, do I just want to hug it, why do you dodge it, it hurts so much, woo woo woo you bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy! Pandora just lay on the ground and said pitifully, and then when she talked about the bad boys, she kept rolling on the ground like a cute.
"Poofha~~" X2 Vereslana and Melka obviously hadn't seen this scene, and they both laughed out loud.
"Ah, I'm so sorry!"
The standard dead fish eyes, plain and with a strong perfunctory tone, while assuming a standing posture of Chen Xiaoyao.
"Woo ······woo woo Pandora crouched to the side and drew circles, and the background was very dark.
"You've been talking about your mother or something, so you're Pandora." Chen Xiaoyao said knowingly, as if we had just met.
"Yes, yes, I am really a witch who will give all calamities and a glimmer of hope - Pandora, your mother~~" Pandora turned around, and made a chic gesture of greeting a Western aristocratic woman, and her voice was more mature and stable than before, and her voice was full of compassion.
"Then please give blessings and hatred to this child! The only seven god killers in the world, the child with the fate of the youngest demon king, please dedicate the divine spirit to him! ”
"Shut up, witch! The old man knows how to do it, and he doesn't need you to rush! Melka said angrily, but there was no anger in her voice, only a slight impatience (tsundere).
"Hehehe, naturally, otherwise we wouldn't be here, wouldn't we, then Chen Xiaoyao, I will bless you who are born as the king of godslayers! You are the first to usurp me, the power of the God of Victory! Stronger than anyone else! Until the day you fight me again! Only I can defeat you! ”
"Cut, Weleslana really likes to talk big, he is a king with the power of decay, and he is also an old princess, how can he be defeated by you, a hairy boy, I will bless ·····" Merka also said that he was similar to Welleslana, but he still remembered Chen Xiaoyao in it, saying that you will definitely be my princess and so on, and then because of the ceremony just now, all their power has been sent into Chen Xiaoyao's body, and they have lost the power to maintain their bodies, so they will naturally disappear, and they will only appear after their next divine power is enough to condense their bodies, but this time I don't know if it will be years, decades, or hundreds of years.
"It's just the two of us here." Chen Xiaoyao said declaratively.
"Of course, my kid, is there anything you'd like to ask Mommy? Or are you going to be coquettish in Mommy's arms? Mommy is looking forward to it~~" Pandora put one hand on her waist, and then bent forward slightly, looking as playful and cute as a little girl.
"Alas, don't say that I have a mother, I am not your righteous son, you know, I am not a god killer with your Pandora's box ritual, I really took their godhead and power, and even the godhood, now it is okay to say that I am a god! Pandora, well, or Epimetheus, or Prometheus, to be precise, I'm right! Chen Xiaoyao stood in front of Pandora, looking down at her condescendingly.
"Alas~~~ It's so pitiful, my child, the fight just now made your head stupid, come and hug Mommy!" As she spoke, Pandora stretched out her arms, as if she wanted to wrap her arms around Chen Xiaoyao's head, with an expression that was about to come to my arms.
"Smack."
Chen Xiaoyao slapped Pandora's arm off without hesitation, and didn't care that Pandora looked like you were bullying me, and I was going to cry to show you.
"The most famous image of Pandora was originally the image in ancient Greek mythology, and then the mythology before and after has not been distorted or changed. Because Prometheus stole fire from the humans on earth and played with Zeus, Zeus made you, Pandora, in order to punish Prometheus and the humans on earth! Chen Xiaoyao spoke directly.
"Zeus commanded Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, to make a lovely female clay figure in the image of a beautiful goddess in the sky, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the gift of language and the skill of dealing with people; Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, bestowed upon her beauty and made her superior to all the women of the earth; Apollo blessed her with the talent to play music that appealed to all······; In this way, most of the gods gave you their beautiful talents and talents, until in the end only Zeus and Athena remained, and finally Athena gave her a talent for talent, and then Zeus gave you a strong curiosity, and so Pandora became a human being. ”
"Eun, yes yes, and then what?" Pandora asked with a smile, looking heartless, as if Chen Xiaoyao was not talking about her.
"The gods gave Pandora a beautiful one, but did not give her wisdom, so Pandora without wisdom is stupid and 'perfect' person, so the original form of Epimetheus in mythology was born and he became your husband, and Pandora, who has no wisdom, naturally cannot see through Zeus's conspiracy, and puts Zeus's gift in a magic box 'disaster' and Athena in the magic box' Hope was brought to the people of the world, and Pandora, who had no wisdom as a limit, opened the magic box with strong curiosity, so the beautiful girl Pandora became a witch who bestowed all calamities and a glimmer of hope. ”
"Well, yes, it's me, witch!" The smile on Pandora's face disappeared, and she didn't know when it started, Pandora's appearance changed, she squatted on the ground in the white space, her arms hugged her knees, her face was facing the sky, her slender willow eyebrows twitched slightly, and a sad look flashed on her face from time to time.
"And Pandora, who is stupid and 'perfect', is born, and the intelligence that coexists with it naturally has a corresponding prototype, that is to say, the brother of Epimetheus was born, and he is Prometheus, who represents wisdom."
Pandora didn't say a word, but sat quietly, as if she was alone looking at the world from afar, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
"The real birth of myths and stories is actually the [fire] at the beginning! The invention and use of fire, the cornerstone of human culture, reveals the way in which humans grasp the world. The wise people of ancient times have been pondering three basic questions: (1) Who created the world and how did it create? (2) Who created humanity and how? (3) Who created the culture in what way? ”
"For these reasons, people began to make up myths, and they put this qiē on the gods, so that the gods are omnipotent, and among them, fire, finally freed mankind from the primitive state of drinking blood; The invention and use of fire is the first step for human beings to truly move towards "culture", and answering the question "who created fire in what way" is the key to answering "who created culture in what way". So the myth of fire is crucial because it plays a key role in connecting the past and the next in the whole mythological system. ”
Of course, on the question of how fire came to human beings, nature was put into endless praise to praise, through guò's symbolic interpretation of "fire into the category of human cognition and utilization", answering "how human beings can overcome barbarism and enter the first step of the journey of civilization", which is the embodiment of fire is the embodiment of wisdom, and it is also the myth of Prometheus stealing fire, and people's hardships in this step are naturally reflected on him, people rebel against nature = Prometheus rebels against Zeus, Therefore, Prometheus is the embodiment of wisdom in the hearts of men, and at the same time the perfect man, and at the same time the creator of zào, the god of mankind and all things. ”
"So don't they still have a discrepancy, so how can they be the same person?" Pandora said in an inexplicable tone, not a rebuttal, but an expectation, she was expecting.
Prometheus brought the fire to the world, so that human beings were spared the pain of drinking blood, and led human beings to take the first step of civilization, which is the embodiment of social progress, but at the same time, because of the increase of wisdom, people began to breed ambition, power, **, greed, and so on, which is the mythical Pandora opened the magic box, releasing the disaster, labor, disease, hatred, aging and finally the "hope" of death!
"Prometheus was nailed to the cliffs of the Caucasus, his hands and feet were chained by the gods of violence and power, and his liver was pecked by eagles day and night, which is a gesture of rebellion in the age of kingship - a gesture of rebellion against absurdity, rebellion against established reality and authoritative values, and maximizing one's life energy within the scope of destiny, so that the final noble, decisive, tragic, and rebellious posture - Prometheus's posture is condensed."
"I know that the consequence of resistance is death, but I still persevere, and even though it is a dead end, I use countless lives to open up, 'prescient' = 'stupid extreme' Prometheus = Epimetheus = Pandora! This is what you really look like as a myth! It's also the origin of the original godkillers, isn't it? As an ordinary person, he rebelled against a powerful god, and he knew he couldn't do it, and now he wants me to continue? If that's not enough, I can continue. “
Chen Xiaoyao said this cruel reality, and the last paragraph was obviously saying to Pandora, 'You better admit it yourself, otherwise I can give more examples below'.
"Well, you've said a wonderful thing, I have to say, what you said······ Completely. ”
Pandora's cherry mouth opened and slowly spouted.
