Chapter 256: The Magic Box
Since the emergence of mysterious forces, everyone has completely thrown atheism into the dustbin of history, replaced by the fear of mysterious powers, especially after those evil gods appeared again and again, causing great harm to the regions where they appeared, many people have equated mysterious forces with flood beasts.
Therefore, after a large number of demons described in myths and legends appeared in Greece, the inhabitants of Greece would obediently leave Greece and seek refuge in other countries.
Those who remained in the temple at this time were either those who stayed in Athens for various reasons and came to the temple to seek the protection of the gods, or they were devout believers.
So when a priest was petrified, the temple people made two different choices.
Some of the people screamed and ran to the door, there were crowds of people everywhere, the scene was very chaotic, these people came to the temple to seek refuge, where did they think that before the chaos outside, there was a terrible thing in the temple first.
"Run. ”
"The devil has invaded. ”
"What's going on?"
"Get out of the way. ”
“......”
Screams and invectives followed, and many people who didn't understand what was going on were drawn into the chaos and immediately became part of the panic fleeing.
The other part froze in place, reciting the clergy's translations of ancient psalms and adapted hymns to Athena.
"I just heard her holy horse neigh!"
“......。 ”
"The goddess is coming back......"
The panicked prayers gradually converged, and the hymn of Athena spread throughout the temple, calming the panic caused by the petrification of the priest a little.
At the same time, small brown snakes emerged from Croft, who was about to lie under the idol under some unknown weight.
These dense and slender small snakes flexibly wrapped around the strange idol they carried, converging into a green figure.
The figure was dark green, with brown hair, small snakes writhing and twisting above her head, and its scarlet gaze was released from the small snake's open pupils, staring at everyone present.
Medusa!
"Ahh......h Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, Athena's followers are still religious....... A sharp, sneering voice came from the mouth of Medusa, whose eyes were closed, "but your goddess does not care about you because of your piety. ”
"Get out of here, demon. ”
A young priest had the courage to lash out at Medusa, "This is the temple of the goddess, and it is forbidden for filthy demons to set foot on it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Medusa in front of him suddenly disappeared.
It's like Medusa, who was originally standing in front of the idol, left with an ability such as spatial teleportation.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt something greasy and tender on his body.
The priest lowered his head, only to realize that at some point, small brown snakes were wrapped around his body.
She's behind me!
The sudden realization made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, and the freezing from the outside to the inside made him shiver, and he turned around without thinking about it, but for some reason, he couldn't even do such a simple action.
The body does not listen to him at all.
"Filthy demon, your ancestors were just a bunch of sperm when I served Athena, so what qualifications do you have to say that I am a filthy demon?"
Brown snakes wriggled and crawled upwards on the priest's body, and soon crawled up to his face, and soon the places where the snakes had squirmed grew pustules of almost the same size as snakes, and these pustules broke one by one after they appeared, and soon came out with foul-smelling pus.
His eyes widened, and his gaze was filled with horror.
"Fear, fear?" Medusa's high-pitched voice came out of her throat, "but when Athena cursed me to become a monster, I experienced a hundred times more pain than you experience now. ”
The priest opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say, 'You brought it on yourself.'
As the person who sacrificed Athena, she was supposed to remain the purest of young women, but Medusa was in fornication, whether she was willing or forced, and she should not remain in the temple as a priest serving the gods.
Perhaps from the moral point of view of modern people, Medusa is a victim and should not be blamed, but from the law at that time, as a priest of the gods, she should leave her post or commit suicide to go to the underworld after being defiled, instead of continuing to live as a priest serving the gods, which is a blasphemy to the gods.
But he couldn't say a word.
His mouth, at this time, is as if it does not belong to him at all, and he has no right to manipulate it.
"I've been looking for a chance to get revenge on Athena for so many years, but I've finally found my chance. ”
One by one, the poisonous snakes crawled back, and Medusa, who was holding the priest behind her, walked into the temple with small steps.
"The exotic gods have unleashed the demons imprisoned by the gods, and those demons who are full of resentment against the gods are planning to attack the Mount of the Gods of Olympus to vent the pain of their suppression, but I am different, I only want to destroy you who believe in Athena. ”
No, you'd better attack the Mount of the Gods of Olympus.
The people who were still in the temple heard Medusa's words, and a thought instinctively flashed through their hearts.
These demons may be irresistible to humans, but for the gods, it is just a matter of waste of hands and feet to kill them.
After all, in mythology, those demons were slain by gods through the hands of human heroes under the guidance of gods.
Although I don't know why the legendary slain demons reappeared, whether the legend went wrong or whether these demons were immortal like Typhon, and even if they were killed, they would be quickly resurrected and could only be sealed, but no matter which possibility it was, it proved that the so-called demons were in front of the gods
Medusa took out a silver-white square box from the temple, and the front of the box was dotted with purple stars, each star was full of the smell of calamity, as if if one glance at it, it would be entangled by natural and man-made disasters.
Her hands gently caressed the surface of the box, revealing a strange expression,
"Prometheus stole the heavenly fire from the mountain of the gods of Olympus, giving fire to you Greeks, and this provoked the wrath of the gods, who created a woman and a box to punish mankind. ”
"That's Pandora and her box......"
“...... Humans are not supposed to believe in the Olympian gods, but you do...... In that case, I give you the gifts of the gods. ”
After speaking, Medusa opened the magic box without hesitation.
