Chapter 7: Behind the Myth

Legend has it that Prometheus, the son of the god Titan, stole fire from the sky and gave it to mankind, and when humans learned to use fire, Zeus, the supreme god, was very annoyed and decided to let disaster befall mankind in order to counteract the great benefits of fire to mankind.

Zeus first ordered Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, to use water and earth synthesis to mix and make a lovely woman in the image of the goddess; and then command Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, to drench in the scent that drives men mad; Athena, the goddess of wisdom and craftsmanship, dressed her and wore a headband (this headband was the work of Hephaestus, the god of fire), a necklace with beads, and was as delicate as a bride; Hermes, the messenger of God, imparted her gift for language; So Zeus poured vicious evil water into this beautiful image.

Hames came up with the idea and said, "Call this woman Pandora, it's a gift from the gods to all mankind." The gods agreed with his advice. In ancient Greek, Pan meant everything, and Dora meant a gift. "Pandora" means "a woman with all talents".

So Zeus ordered Hermes to bring her to Prometheus' younger brother Epimetheus the "Awakener" to become his wife. Epimetheus was completely different from Prometheus and had a simple heart, and Prometheus advised him: "If Zeus gives you anything, it must not be accepted." But Epimetheus forgot his warning, and Pandora's temptation, and immediately became enamored with beauty, forgetting Prometheus' reminders.

Zeus gave Pandora a sealed box filled with scourges, calamities, and pestilences, etc., for her to give to the man who married her. Prometheus was convinced that Zeus had bad intentions towards mankind and warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus. But he did not listen to the advice and married the beautiful Pandora. Driven by curiosity, Pandora opened the box, and at once all the calamities, pestilences, and scourges inside flew out.

Mankind has since been afflicted with calamities, pestilences, and scourges. And before the beautiful thing "Hope", which Athena, the goddess of wisdom, quietly placed at the bottom of the box in order to save the fate of mankind, flew out of the box, the panicked Pandora closed the box.

"But this is a false lie, Pandora was not created by the gods, she was born far older than the gods, and Pandora wanted to use the power of the gods to stop the seven original sins, but unfortunately, they failed. Mount Olympus was covered with the blood of the gods, and the Greek gods had to withdraw from the stage of history. Doctor Strange explained.

"Did Pandora tell you anything?" Doctor Strange felt a sense of impending crisis, and this time it was different from the Black Light Rebellion. Although the night of the darkest is said to be based on the earth, in fact, the Seven Lights Legion from the Earth are all elites, and most of the real Seven Lights Legion are in the universe.

The same is true for the black light, the Black Death Emperor didn't put the earth in his eyes at all, otherwise he would be directly staked by the army as soon as he was born, and the earth would suffer great damage if it didn't hit the streets.

"She said that hope is still in the box, and only the purest of hearts or the darkest can open it." Suddenly, the American team realized something.

"It's only Superman and Red Skull, and Pandora will definitely go to one of them." Doctor Strange didn't have time to think and flew directly to Superman, but what Doctor Strange didn't know was that Pandora was not looking for Superman, but Red Skull, although Red Skull's hiding place was unusually tight for everyone else.

But this other people do not include Pandora.

"The darkest mind?" Pandora thought about Red Skull's life and realized that Red Skull was the only one she was looking for.

Red Skull can be said to be the most high-level villain in Marvel, and since he has had a reputation, he has done all kinds of evil.

John Schmidt's upbringing can be described as full of disasters, which is the main reason for his vain attempt to destroy the world and his extreme hatred of mankind. Born in a small village in Germany, he suffered from poverty, his father died in childbirth, and even tried to drown his son.

Schmidt was sent to an orphanage, where he fled at the age of 7 and began to live by begging and stealing. After spending more than a decade with prison, crime, and violence, Schmidt ushered in a turning point in his life, he found a job as a hotel runner, and was appreciated and valued by Hitler himself in the process of serving him, and Hitler even trained Schmidt himself, giving him a special uniform and a red skull mask - so the "Red Skull" was born.

As the mastermind behind the Nazi terrorist attacks, Schmidt set off countless bloody storms on the European battlefield in the early days of World War II, and under the pressure of the war, the US government had to restart the "rebirth plan" and create super soldiers to fight against the fascist enemy army and reverse the defeat.

So, Steve Rogers passed this experiment to become "Captain America". The battle between the captain and the Red Skull continued throughout World War II, with the Red Skull eventually defeated. During the war, the Red Skull was also completely exposed to an experimental gas, causing the mask to stick to its face forever and never to be removed.

But Pandora miscalculated, that is, the darkest is not the most evil, and does the Red Skull really not have a glimmer of humanity?

As it turns out, Red Skull isn't the person Pandora was looking for, either.

In the underground of Yellowstone, the Red Skull lies alone on the ground.

"Do you still remember that? I thought I'd forget! Hi! Hitler! A tear was left in the corner of the red skull's eye, as Star-Lord said, no matter how bad a person is, there will be a trace of kindness in his heart that maybe even they themselves are not aware of.

The red skull stood up from the ground, then stroked the swastika on his arm, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"Steve, I don't care about you anymore." As if with a more ambitious goal, Red Skull has forgotten about his entanglement with Captain America.

"Let Zemo in, doesn't he want to destroy the Avengers? Then let him do it, but since he wants to destroy the Avengers with his own hands, then he can only rely on himself and organize the command to provide him with information. "The spirit of the Red Skull has finally reverted back to the terrifying presence of World War II.

The sense of humility at Thanos' feet disappeared in an instant, and the Red Skull was now aiming for a new target.

"Paradise Island, Wonder Woman; Asgard, Thor, and Atlantis, mystery is always fascinating, wait, I'll be sure to master the world, Führer! "What the Red Skull is begging for is supreme power, and destroying the world has never been his cup of tea, and only cultists who have been fooled by Dormammu will do it.
