[Comprehensive British and American] The richest man in the super British world

The wind blows the window open, the wood rattles, and Pandora wakes up.Her room was filled with a gust of wind that swirled through her hair, lifting the blonde hair and blinding her eyes.She pinned her hair behind her ears, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, ready to close the window, the curtains were gently swinging under the caress of the wind, casting shadows.She held her breath, walked carefully to the window, opened the curtains, there was nothing, she was relieved.

At this time, a voice came from behind her: "Are you looking for me?"

She screamed, turned her head, and Wade stepped out of the shadows.

"Epimetheus!" She backed away in panic, almost stepping on herself.

"It's no use calling him," Wade said. "He's hurt, tired, and temporarily asleep."

"You killed him?" Pandora's eyes were about to roll down with tears.

Wade was helpless: "No. I said, he just fell asleep."

It is the handwriting of Sleeping God.Even though this guy was quite annoying before, but at the same time he was also very competent. Everything that Pluto ordered was done quickly and perfectly.

Pandora wiped away her tears and sat on the edge of the bed.

"What do you want to tell me?" She asked warily, "If you are trying to persuade me to betray Epimetheus, it is impossible. I would rather die than deceive him."

"Then I just want to ask you, you have been punished in Hades for thousands of years, have you figured out anything?" Wade took a step back and leaned on the window with his hands on it. It wraps in it, "Don't forget that you released the magic box of disasters, which caused human beings to suffer from disasters. This is your mistake, and you know it better than me."

The increased distance made her less tense.Pandora lowered her head, knowing that what he said was right.In the past, she caused so much pain to mankind because of her temporary curiosity.

"Why do you bring this up? I already paid for what I did." All she could say was, "Thousands of years, isn't that enough?"

"I didn't come here for this, you can ask what Epimetheus did." Wade smiled at her, "You probably don't know at all."

After Epimetheus took her away from the underworld, he didn't mention to her what he did to shake off the god of the underworld.

"I know you feel guilty about humanity," he said.

Pandora bit her lower lip: "Time will cancel everything."

But he knew that Pandora liked humans.Because when she married Epimetheus, she lived on earth for a while.Those who worshiped the gods were kind to her, and would wear her with beautiful, artfully woven garlands dotted with red berries, which Pandora loved.The maid will fetch dewdrops for her in the morning and play with her. When she was in the human world, humans helped her a lot. Although they are fragile, they are full of wisdom and have their own feelings. Except for the gap in strength, they are no worse than gods.

Wade turned around and opened the curtains, letting the wind rush into the room.He stood by the window to blow the wind for a while, let Pandora think wildly behind him, and said lightly: "There is going to be a storm, you should set sail for Trench Country tomorrow."

Pandora stood up.

"Take it easy, girl," Wade said, raising his hand to signal her not to come. "I know you're not like Epimetheus at the root. You're soft-hearted and kind. He's different."

"We are the same. I love him." There were tears in her eyes.

"It's up to you." Wade nodded, "Dick!"

"Got it, sweetheart." Wade turned sideways, Dick climbed up from under the window, and fell into the room with a front flip on his hands, "Is the matter resolved?"

He looked down at Pandora, and the girl stared at the stranger who suddenly appeared defensively.

"Oh, you broke into girls' rooms in the middle of the night," said Dick. "You didn't tell me that."

Wade shook his head helplessly, and took the tracker from him. The existence of gods can be perceived by each other.If Wade had been using his strength to track him down, he would have known Wade's location in turn.So Dick's Gadget came in handy.In front of Pandora, he pushed open her door and came to the living room.Epimetheus was lying on the table, asleep.Pandora rushed over, tested his breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Trust me, he doesn't have to die, I'm not lying." Wade said, took the knife Dick handed him, put the tracker into Epimetheus's arm, and then his fingertips Putting it in place of the wound, it gradually healed, "This is a choice, Pandora, you can tell him that I am looking for him."

Pandora just stared at him without saying a word, her blue eyes flashing with unknown emotions.

"Magic box, the power of the pearl is beyond his control. He could have used these two things to restore you in time before I found him, but he didn't? Do you know where he used them? ? You won't stop watching the news, will you?"

"He just made a deal with the Empress." She whispered, "to take me away."

"Does murder count? Does resurrecting corpses count?" Wade sneered, "Okay, I have no objection."

"That's not in his nature."

"Have you ever thought about it? Pandora, after you married Epimetheus, the box blessed by the gods was mixed with the treasures sent to the world. Prometheus kept persuading Epimetheus Si doesn’t want to marry you, he firmly believes that God has bad intentions. Then didn’t he check these things one by one? But why didn’t he check out the problem?”

Pandora was speechless.

"Obviously, only you can open the box and release the power." Wade said, "Epimetheus has never been kind to humans. When he created humans with Prometheus, he divided all his abilities into If you give it to animals, humans will get nothing. Think about it, Pandora. By the way, I can indeed grant your wish, and the Wishing Fountain is not fake."

If they were willing to hold back, Wade would take both of them back to the underworld for punishment without killing them.

He put away his things, gave Dick a hand, they opened the door, and went out through the front door in a fair manner, and then closed the door with Pandora, who was holding Epimetheus's hand, standing by the table and lost in thought. On the other hand, completely, the room was plunged into darkness again.

"What are you planning?" Dick asked as they came down the stairs. "Testing people?"

"One choice." Wade said, sighing, "Go to Trench Country tomorrow, have you heard of it?"

Dick frantically searched for memories related to this place in his mind, and he quickly remembered that it had something to do with Neptune.

"The magic box is there, and Epimetheus will take it away. It is a good hiding place for a treasure, and it is the only place in Sicily that can prevent my visits." Wade pointed at Sicily's On the sea line, there was a wave rushing up, smoothing the traces on the gravel. He knew that in a distant place, things under the water were not as calm as before.The Kingdom of Atlantis sank into the water, and some people degenerated into monsters who only knew how to tear living creatures and thirst for blood. The place where these evil creatures lived was collectively called the Trench Country.

"I don't know the location of Trench Country. I don't know where he is hiding, so I need to follow him." Wade patted Dick on the shoulder, "Your 'little eyes' are very useful, thank you."

Dick winked at him, took Wade's hand and put it on his chest: "You're welcome."

Wade withdrew his hand amusedly.

"Are you really exuding your goddamn charm all the time?"

"Oh," Dick laughed, "you think I've always been attractive."

"Good understanding, boyfriend." Wade concluded, and then suddenly asked, "What's going on with Artemis?"

"Oh, you're jealous."

"I do not have."

"You have."

Wade stomped on his foot hard.

"——I surrender!" Dick immediately withdrew his poor right foot. "Recently, what did she and Jason form... New Law. I also met her by chance. She came to follow the clues of Pearl. It was them. The treasure of the clan, I bumped into her."

"Since they form a team, why doesn't Jason come?"

"Jason always has his reasons. You can't just guess what he thinks." Dick spread his hands. "Maybe the most important thing he thinks right now is to take a vacation."

"Artemis has no part in this," he said.

"Okay, you're the boss." Dick touched his face, "but you know she's hard to convince."

Wade smiled: "Who said I'm going to convince her?"

After a pause, Dick asked, "Where's Poseidon?"

Wade turned to look at him.

"what?"

"Uh, it's your younger brother, Poseidon in Greek mythology." Dick was a little embarrassed, trying to organize his words, "I thought he was in charge of the ocean, just like Aquaman in the Justice League, heck, to be honest, I'm very I'm curious, why they didn't have a showdown, because they are all ocean lords... In short, will Poseidon participate in this trip to Trench Country?"

"He's gone," Wade said.

Dick was taken aback.

……

Epimetheus is tying the sails, he stole a fishing boat, this place is kind of broken, it's dangerous where they're going.Wade disrupted his plan, so he had to rush out in the early morning of the second day.He didn't feel that Hades was spying on him, which made his nerves even more tense.In order to avoid Wade, he can only go to the trench country in a human way.

Dark clouds had already swept in, unscrupulously covering the sky, making it difficult for people to see the scene more than ten meters away.It was morning, but darker than night, and the wind blew the hair of both of them, against the course, like a bad omen.A few birds chirped, and seabirds fluttered over their heads. Epimetheus narrowed his eyes. He looked to the other end of the horizon, knowing that was where he was going.

"What's wrong with you?" He turned around, only to see Pandora looking at him worriedly, with hesitant blue eyes.

"Can you tell me what you did with them?" After a while, Pandora was still about to ask.

"what?"

"What you took away." She bit her lower lip.

"Get on the boat." He hugged her on the boat, pulled the sail, and the boat left the shore quickly. The wind was blowing it to speed it up. Gradually, the original coast could not be seen, and he turned to look at Pandora again. , asked, "Why do you ask this question?"

His eyes were full of scrutiny, which made Pandora flinch.

"I just want to know." She paused, "I once brought disasters that shouldn't have happened to human beings, so..."

Epimetheus gently put his hand on her cheek: "How come, you did a good job."

Pandora froze in place.

"My brother is such an idiot. He would steal fire for mankind, so that he would be trapped in Hades." Epimetheus shook his head regretfully. "He always can't tell the difference between creation and plaything."

"I...but..."

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"

"No, no more." She murmured.

Pandora was gently helped back into the boat by him, she wrapped herself in a blanket, curled herself into a ball, almost fidgeting.Epimetheus stood at the bow of the ship, and the wind blew up the sails, making their speed unbelievably fast. Before long, they would reach the water surface of Trench Country. While paying attention to the direction of travel, he glanced at the pandora.She was so obvious that something was clearly causing her other emotions about their plans.

He walked up to Pandora, knelt down and looked at this girl-like lover: "What's the matter?"

Pandora avoided his gaze, and Epimetheus held her arm and asked forcefully, "You need to tell me."

"Hades found us yesterday." She said uneasily.

Epimetheus patted her head: "But he couldn't hurt us."

"No, I'm not talking about the afternoon, but the evening." Pandora raised her head and stared into his eyes, "He put you to sleep, and then said something to me."

"So you have doubts about me," Epimetheus stood up, took a step back, and Pandora came to take his hand, but it was empty, "I have done so much for you, take you out of the underworld, and find a way to make a living in the human world." Physical experiment, in order to keep you alive, but you doubt me?"

"You experimented on humans?" She couldn't believe it. "You told me you had a way to keep me alive."

"Aren't you alive now?"

Pandora stood up and held Epimetheus's hand: "What did you do? Do you know that what you did was against the law? What did humans do wrong?"

"Their fault is a group of superficial and weak creatures, but they are recognized by the law." Epimetheus shook off her hand and turned his back to Pandora, "We are the gods on the Alps, why should we give way to them? Dao? Zeus is trapped in the sky, Pluto cannot go out of the ground, and the gods on the ground are expelled. Atlantis is even more exaggerated. It is too ridiculous for a human to take control of it. They are me and Prome The creation of Hughes is overwhelming."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I keep you alive, baby," he turned and grabbed Pandora's shoulders like iron clamps, almost making her scream out loud, "I love you so much, you should have the same thoughts as me. Go to Trench Country , let’s use pearls to go to the magic box, open the box, and release the plague of Hades, we will be able to achieve this goal, don’t you want to go back to the era of Alpine gods?”

"Are you saying that because of the fall of the sea?" Pandora said reluctantly, "Poseidon has disappeared. So has your mother, the goddess of the sea, Clymene."

"Shut up!" His hand moved up suddenly, strangled Pandora's neck, and tightened, "You must live, I need you to open Pandora's box, you must not die."

Pandora beat his arm with her hands, and he finally let go of her a second before he was suffocated.Pandora fell to the ground.

Epimetheus half-kneeled in front of her, gently stroked her cheek with the back of his hand, and helped her wipe away tears: "I love you very much, really, so don't hinder me."

A huge shadow fell like a boulder to crush the boat, a magnetic field of overwhelming force that warned of anything to come.Epimetheus knew that they were coming to the Trench Country, and this was the end of the journey, where he was going.He walked past Pandora, which fell to the side, and looked at the distant sea level. There was a clear line between the blue water and the dark black sea. Seabirds hovered over the line, and were forced to fly back by the threatening breath .

A seabird flew into the line following the school of jumping fish.Its figure distorted and disappeared into the clear sky.Half a minute later, a pool of blood appeared out of thin air. It was like a wriggling monster, flowing slowly, and came to the side of the boat, dyed red and blue.The seabird never came back.The wind blew Epimetheus' shirt, and he smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, Epimetheus turned his head sensitively, and after he saw it clearly, he took a step back in disbelief.

"How did you find me?" he cried. "Hades, I don't feel your power!"

"Ancient Greeks like you won't understand modern technology." Dick said, shaking the small black box in his hand triumphantly, "Please, it's the 21st century, don't keep thinking that human beings are so useless." Can you use it? Tracker, very useful."

Epimetheus ignored him, and immediately looked at Pandora, and aggressively advanced a few steps, forcing Pandora to retreat, and finally fell to the ground again: "You know! You always knew!"

It could only be the tracker that Wade put in after putting him to sleep at night.

"I never thought of betraying you, Epimetheus," Pandora said hoarsely, covering her throat, "it's just that you really did something wrong this time."

"I didn't!" He turned around and looked at Pandora viciously, "You don't understand at all!"

Pandora backed away because of his gaze.

"You have become a beast swallowed by hatred." She said in pain, she could hardly believe her eyes, "Why didn't I see clearly earlier? You said you love me, is that true?"

Epimetheus grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up, and said fiercely, "Shut up, you liar! You are the one who attracted them!"

A bat dart suddenly tore through the air and stabbed Epimetheus on the back of his hand. He withdrew his hand in pain. It fell to the ground and failed to harm him, but it still achieved its goal. He let go of Pandora.Wade raised his hand and pressed him to the ground. Dick stepped forward to help Pandora, protecting her behind him, and said with a grim expression, "Don't bully girls."

He turned around and kicked Epimetheus hard on the ground.

"I can't imagine how a man like him can have a girlfriend," said Dick. "Is that what love is?"

As soon as his words fell, the shadow finally enveloped them completely.

Trench country has arrived.

The torrential rain was different from the outside world, and the cold raindrops fell heavily on the four people present.Dick glanced at Pandora who was shivering from the cold, picked up the blanket on the ground, and wrapped her up.The boat under their feet shook violently, and the sound of scratching came from the bottom of the boat, as if something was about to move under the water.There were a few weird screams, and a hand protruded from the tumbling black water. At the moment of lightning, it opened its hand, with scaly claws, screaming and grabbing the ship's wall, leaving Deep paw prints, jumped up.Immediately, Dick took out his pistol and fired several shots in succession, but the monster that suddenly appeared remained motionless and snarled at him, baring its barbed and sharp teeth.

"It's a bit embarrassing." Dick said, his hand naturally let go, the pistol fell to the ground, and was kicked away by him.

He took out Nightwing's double sticks from his waist and whistled provocatively at the monster.Several other monsters jumped onto the sails, looked down at the human, and opened their mouths wide open at him, screaming like babies almost piercing the eardrums.

"Come on, babies, don't be too enthusiastic." He glanced back at Wade, who was entangled with Epimetheus, and turned back with a contemptuous smile, "Sorry, I'm in charge."

……

Epimetheus was washed by the rain and almost slipped off the boat plank. His clothes were soaked and stuck to his body. His hair covered his facial features so badly that Wade couldn't see his expression clearly. He growled at him: "You are Hades, shouldn't you understand me? Why should humans occupy our territory? Shouldn't they be punished?—"

The dark clouds made the surrounding light disappear, and the heavy light reflected from the drenched black coat became the only bright color in the gloomy rainy night.The rain slid down Epimetheus' cheeks, and the lightning flashed, revealing his resentful and angry eyes.

"You were deceived by Persephone, no matter what she promises you, you can't be trusted." Wade said, the rainwater slid down his clothes, making them wet and greasy on his body, He took a few steps towards Epimetheus, his water-soaked boots creaking on the board, he half-kneeled down, and looked at the deity he had messed up, "You still have a lot of choices, Epimetheus, let me take you back to the Underworld."

"I won't accept the punishment! Because I did nothing wrong in the first place." He looked up at Wade, "You ask me what promise the Queen of the Underworld gave me? Nothing, she let me take Pandora away .I want human beings to suffer from the plague and die. She wants Hades to be stronger. This is a fair deal from the beginning. I will not stop and I will not repent for it. I have let you down, Wei De Black, the incompetent Pluto."

"Oh, what do you think is competent? Kill all humans?" he asked back.

"Lucifer is not qualified to be the king of hell." Epimetheus sneered, "You gods who are capable of doing it are unwilling to do so. You are simply selfish and alone."

——He was completely lost in hatred.

"You appeared here, I knew the plan had failed, Hades," he said, and glanced at Pandora resentfully, who took a step back injured, "Your strength is stronger than mine, there is no doubt about it."

Suddenly, he smiled gently at Pandora: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Pandora immediately ran to his side, leaned on him, and sobbed softly, "...Stop it, Epimetheus. There is still room for redemption, and Hades will not kill you."

Wade watched all this silently.

Epimetheus leaned close to her ear and said softly, "You are the worst link in my plan, and it's all your fault." He grabbed Pandora violently, and Pandora let out a scream, and her bones made a brittle sound. While still holding her tightly in his arms, he raised his head and showed a cruel smile to Wade: "But it's really worth it if I can drag you to die together."

Before Wade could react, Epimetheus crushed the pearl, then hugged Pandora, turned over and rolled into the black water.Almost immediately, several abyssal monsters jumped into the roaring sea water, blood staining that area of ​​water.The moment he crushed the pearl, Wade fell to his knees, covering his head.Dick immediately fell to his side: "What's the matter?"

"Pearl, barrier." He said concisely, "This is a 'land not blessed by God', without the existence of pearls, God will lose its power."

In other words, Epimetheus and Pandora had no chance of surviving. They were torn apart by the abyss monster like ordinary people and buried here.And Wade couldn't crush the suppression with the power of God.

Wade began to pick up the broken pearls on the ground. They were scattered on the board of the boat and were scattered by the rain. His hair was soaked by the rain, covering his sight. Wade put his hand into his hair and stroked it, waiting for the sight When it was clear, there was an abyss monster standing in front of it. Its scales covered its whole body, opening and closing ugly, and its vertical pupils were reddish brown. This time, it was annoyed by the food's behavior, roared, and attacked him again, and Wade couldn't avoid the second time.But the next moment, Dick kicked it away, wiped his face, and said to Wade, "Go on!"

Wade immediately lowered his head to find the fragment of the pearl.

The monsters jumped out of the water continuously, and there was almost no end in sight. Dick gradually became exhausted, his clothes were cut by sharp claws, and he groaned in pain.

At the same time, Wade finally picked up all the debris, stood up, and looked into the cabin, where a coal lamp was on.

"Come here, Dick!" He rushed into the cabin and pulled down the coal lamp. Dick rushed in following his steps, followed by monsters from the abyss, and Wade raised the lamp to force them back.He took a step back, threw the pearl shards on the ground, and landed in front of Dick: "Can you play Rubik's Cube?"

"Uh, huh? What Rubik's Cube? Is it the Rubik's Cube I thought?"

"Yes!" The window of the cabin was smashed, and a sharp claw eagerly poked in. Wade raised the miner's lamp, and it backed away screaming, "Put it together, Dick."

Dick took a deep breath: "Just fight like this?"

"Yes." Wade said, looking vigilantly at the monsters surrounding them, "Try to hurry up and let me recover my divine power, please. The coal lamp won't last long."

Dick pulled some cold light sticks from his utility belt and threw them at Wade.

"How many minutes do we have now?"

"They're not afraid of light, Dick, they're just afraid of the unknown. Because there's no light here." Wade picked up the cold light stick, "I don't know when they will pounce, I'll leave it to you, Dick."

"Okay." Dick looked at the debris on the ground, comforted himself, and took a deep breath, "This shouldn't be difficult, I can do it."

He picked up a shard of pearl, but the boat kept shaking, his arm was scratched before, and he couldn't control his balance. With a shake of his hand, it fell back to the ground.Dick's hand couldn't be stabilized because of his body's loss of strength. He picked up a piece and fell back to the ground.Only then did he realize that this task had become so difficult for him at this moment.

"I love you, Dick." Wade said suddenly, the light from the coal lamp flickered on and off, causing his facial features to alternate between light and shadow. "The last thing I regret is being with you."

"Me too," Dick said after a pause, "but it's not the end, trust me okay?"

The boat shook again, making a scream of being overwhelmed.The roar of the sea tide almost drowned their voices, and the monster approached them screaming.

"It's far from over between us," he said.
