Chapter 20: Pandora's Box

There is a story that is widely circulated in the world and can be described as a household name.

In ancient times, after Prometheus stole the god fire, Zeus ordered Hephaestus, the god of fire and casting, to cast a doll of clay with all the characteristics of a woman called "Pandora". Zeus gave her life, and the twelve main gods blessed her, giving her infinite charm to the country and the city.

Subsequently, Pandora came to the world at the behest of the Lord God and soon used her peerless charm to make men in the world crazy about her. In order to fight for the ownership of Pandora, for a while, the war in the human world quietly burned, and the smoke was everywhere.

When Pandora was in the Netherworld, he also carried a small box, which was called "Pandora's Box" by the world.

It was also an artifact forged by Hephaestus, and the gods put evil forces such as "disease", "war", "malice", "porcelain", "greed * corruption" and "soap" into it, so that Pandora would open it as soon as the time came, so that the human world would never be at peace, and eventually lead to self-destruction.

Pandora opened the box as instructed, and the forces of "disease" and "war" immediately flew out of the box, spreading throughout the land and poisoning the world.

However, none of the gods expected that under the evolution of various desperate forces, the power of "hope" would automatically form in the box.

So, when all the despair spread across the earth, the light of hope finally came, and the human world once again returned to prosperity and harmony.

……

That's probably the story.

"You've all been deceived." Knoros said.

What came out of his mouth was another story, which still made Zhang Shen feel a little unbelievable until now.

Pandora's Box is real, but it's not its real name (it's called Pandora's Box for convenience); The puppet girl "Pandora" is also real, and was completed by Hephaestus and the main gods, but its purpose is not to punish humans for "blaspheming the gods and gods", but to hide people's eyes.

Zeus and other gods made a very high-level beep doll, named her Pandora, and asked her to carry a tall box to the world, and use her terrible charm blessed by the Lord God to cause human war.

Pandora succeeded, but was later slaughtered by a stunned green demigod with a somewhat deviated ♂ aesthetic, ending the war. Pandora's Box was destroyed by war, and the minstrel of mankind, guided by some unknown force, spread the story and became a household name.

This is very troublesome to hear, and in fact it is indeed very troublesome, all in order to cover up the real Pandora's box!

The real Pandora's Box has existed for a long, long time, and in the terminology of the fairy side, it belongs to the "innate thing".

It is very likely that its birth is even older than the oldest god Kaos!

After being born from the chaos, Kaos was given a stone with wonderful powers one day and carved it into a box-like cube, which became known as Pandora's Box.

Kaos cherished it and never let anyone touch it, even Gaia, the god of the earth who was closest to him.

There are no impermeable walls in the world, and the existence of Pandora's Box gradually spreads, but it is only a "treasured treasure of Kaos", and no one knows what it does.

It wasn't until Kaos's words before his death that Pandora's Box was pushed to the forefront.

"Want to be the Lord of the World? Want to have the most power? Go ahead and grab Pandora's Box! I keep all my secrets inside! Just get it and you'll have it all! ”

This sentence opened the pirate ...... Ahem, no, it opened the era of chaos of the gods, and also planted the seeds for the fall of the Titan God Age.

As the second king of the gods, Knoros naturally had Pandora's Box and had it for quite some time.

"That's a good thing that can drive people crazy and be willing to give everything for it!" Knoros' expression when he said this will never be forgotten.

"The specific ability of Pandora's box, I think it can be described in three words the most vivid."

"Wish-Opportunity."

…………

"Pay a certain price, and obtain the corresponding power with a certain probability...... The wishing machine is indeed quite vivid. Zhang Shen recalled the correct way to open Pandora's box described by Knoros, and while complaining about "how such an unscientific thing was formed", he couldn't help but have a longing in his heart.

This kind of good thing, no wonder Zeus and those people are doing everything possible to confuse their sight and cover up their existence.

However, the funny thing is that at this moment, Pandora's box is most likely not in the hands of any god such as Zeus!

"If I'm right, Pandora's Box is not in the hands of Zeus." When asked by Sensan Zhang who was in the hands of Pandora's Box at the moment, Knoros gave such a surprising answer.

As for the reason......

Everything was done by Knoros himself.

After Knoros got Pandora's Box and benefited from it, in order to prevent Kaos's tragedy from happening to him, he did not carry it with him (Zhang maliciously guessed that he was not strong enough and was worried about being hacked) but hid it somewhere.

"It's the safest place in the world, because no one would have thought of it!" Knoros triumphant.

When Zhang Shen learned from Knoros about the location where Pandora's Box was hidden, he was shocked, and couldn't help but praise him: "Hiding in that kind of place, the brain hole is really big enough...... No wonder it is said that Zeus has not yet succeeded in nine times out of ten......"

Zhang Shen didn't ask why he told himself such a confidential message. This is a transaction, and obtaining Pandora's Box is both a naked temptation for profit and a temptation to verify your true strength!

Entering Tartarus to unlock Kotos' seal can only tentatively indicate that Zhang Shen has the qualifications to trade with him, the "former" Lord of the Gods, but if he wants to obtain Pandora's Box, that strength is far from enough.

…………

…………

Room.

It's been almost half a month since I left hell.

During this time, except for a glance at the Zhengtai version of Kratos by the way, Zhang Shen was in no hurry to collect information about the Golden Fleece Gauntlet.

Collecting the Golden Fleece Gauntlets is naturally to get rid of that troublesome Medusa as quickly as possible.

That's right, Zhang Shen wants to go to Destiny Island again, and the three goddesses of fate will be in a while!

As for the reason......

Pandora's Box is hidden in the Mirror of Destiny!

No, it would be more accurate to say that it is hidden in the gap between the ethereal river of fate and the real world, and can only be opened and taken out through the mirror of fate.

Pandora's Box was hidden by Knoros, and what's even more amazing is that even the three goddesses of fate didn't know about it!

After learning the news, Zhang Shen was dumbfounded for a long time, and he couldn't understand how he hid Pandora's Box in the mirror of fate from the three strange old women.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the former lord of the gods......

After confirming the approximate location of the "Battle Sacred Forest" where the Golden Fleece Gauntlet was located, Zhang Shen set off.

Although the sacred forest has the name of the god of war, it is actually located in the human world, and it is a place used to worship the god of war in a country that believes in the god of war, and it can be regarded as a luxurious version of the land temple......

The Golden Fleece Armour was placed on top as the highest level of sacrifice, but there were no strict anti-theft measures - in this world controlled by the gods, no thief dared to move his thoughts to the sacrifice of the gods, and even the thieves themselves had gods to worship, and the relationship between the gods was complicated, and they did not dare to mess around so as not to anger the gods they worshipped.

Zhang Shen successfully got the Golden Fleece Gauntlet, came to steal the beam and change the pillar, and casually refined a also golden A goods and put it in place.

As the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, and not long after Zhang Shen walked on his front foot, the figure of Ares, the god of war, appeared in the Holy Forest.

He happened to be bored, so he randomly picked a place in the Nether to have some "fun".

This is a clone of his divine powers, and it can only appear in an altar like an altar where there is a statue of his god, so he descends directly here.

"Hey, there's something wrong with this Golden Fleece gauntlet!" Ares looked around, and suddenly his eyes froze and landed on the gauntlets. Because the gauntlet woven from the golden fleece was shining, it was very in line with the style and routine of the god of war, so he had played with it for a while and was quite familiar with this sacrifice, so he could see that something was wrong at a glance.

He took the gauntlet into his hand, rubbed it gently, and suddenly raised his thick eyebrows: "It's so bold, I dare to touch my things, I really don't know whether to live or die!" ”

Ares became interested in the guy who had put his hand on his head, and with nothing to do, he decided to get the man out. As for whether it will be fried or steamed afterwards, it depends on your mood, and then we will talk about it.

On the other side, Zhang Shen didn't know at all that he had inadvertently touched the tiger's buttocks, offending the ruthless character among the main gods, Ares, who was second only to Hera the queen of heaven in terms of caution.

After getting the Golden Fleece Gauntlet, Zhang Shen didn't delay any longer and headed towards Destiny Island at full speed.

Once born and twice cooked, Zhang Shen remembered the road he had walked through very clearly, and soon arrived at the "foothold" of Destiny Island in the world.

The last time he and Kratos entered on the Time War Horse, this time Zhang Shen didn't plan to snatch the Time War Horse again. He knew that he was a person from another world, and if his luck could be quantified, he would definitely be zero. Last time, I borrowed the light of Kratos, the protagonist of the plane, to go all the way, and if I act alone, there is a chance that something will be involved.

More is better than less, and Zhang Shen probably understood the method of the time war horse crossing the invisible barrier to enter the Destiny Island, and he tossed it a few times, successfully crossed the barrier, and came to the Destiny Island again.

Before his feet landed, Zhang Shen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Lying in a groove, don't you want to be so cheating, just come in and be discovered by the three goddesses of fate and focus on it!
