Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

"Your words scare me," Pan Duoduo said, clutching her chest, "If I'm not a human created by Olympus, who am I?... I was born under the eyes of all living beings, and I was gifted by them personally ... Even so, I also want to live, I don't want to live to bring disaster, and I don't want to die."

Her words were sincere, probably because she expressed the true feelings in her heart, and the listeners could feel the sincerity and prayer in those words.

Prometheus was silent for a while, and finally murmured as if talking to himself, "Yeah, who could you be?"

Pan Duoduo looked up at him.

"Now I'm sure...you don't look like something Olympus created...no, not at all..."

Speaking of this, he glanced over the girl's face and body, "Golden hair, clear blue eyes, perfect face, beautiful voice... These details do look like the aesthetics that Olympus would have... ..."

"However, your personality...is a bit too active...I think they would be more inclined to create a puppet-like pawn with no thought, rather than a strange pawn like you that seems to be out of control at any time. Existence beyond..."

"You really amaze me." Prometheus concluded thoughtfully, "If you are really a product of Olympus, then why can you jump out of Olympus' control; if you are not, So is Zeus really that stupid? He would ignorantly allow something of unknown origin to be mixed into his plan... I can't even believe it..."

After hearing what he said, Pan Duoduo only felt angry.

Really!One or two will talk about "things and things" in a day, without any basic respect, it's really not a thing!

"It's like a paradox. The only thing that makes sense is you... Where did you come from, and where are you sacred?"

As Prometheus said, he looked straight into the girl's eyes, as if he wanted to see a flaw in her pupils.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed.

The girl looked back at the god imprisoned under the chain indifferently, and did not respond to his doubts and guesses in any way, but said, "Your wisdom is amazing. But I am indeed made by Olympus." Yes, those beautiful or touching flashes exist only to charm your younger brother... However, no matter what, I want to show you that at this moment and even in the future, I stand on the same side as you The opposite of Olympus... As for the reason, I think it's enough that they want me to be charged and dead."

"I firmly want to reverse this situation. Although I am not familiar with you, an enemy's enemy is a friend. If you go ahead with Zeus' plan, then your cherished brother and son, as well as...human beings will all be affected , on this point, I have the same position as you."

"So, you can continue to be hostile to me, but I hope to get your help."

Prometheus smiled sarcastically after hearing the girl's words, "From the point of view of the same purpose, we may really be allies, but——you want my help?"

The son of the Titan god moved his hands and feet that were bound by chains, and the heavy chains made a dull collision sound because of his movements.

"As you can see, I can't move an inch now, and my divine power is almost exhausted... Except for wisdom, I think I have nothing to give you."

He paused slightly, his voice seemed to be a little deeper and hoarse, "...but you made me feel that what you want is not my wisdom... I don't know, what exactly do you want from me? ?”

"One answer." The girl lowered her eyelashes and closed her clear eyes.Although her tone was light, there was an indescribable solemnity.

"If you want to ask me how to get rid of my identity as a pawn and avoid the fate of death, then I don't have any good suggestions." Prometheus said bluntly, "There may be a way to prevent Zeus from bringing disasters to the world, but according to my According to his understanding, he will never let a betrayer go easily..."

"No," the girl shook her head and interrupted the god's words, "In the beginning, what I wanted to ask you was indeed this question, but then I changed my mind. Now I just want to ask—what is your reason for asking?" The purpose is to create human beings?"

The dark clouds in the sky rolled endlessly, and the crying that was immersed in mourning over there had gradually weakened.From the wilderness came the hoarse and sharp cry of the vulture eagle, and the sound scratched the eardrums, making people tremble.

The god bound by the chains was silent for a long time, and for a while, only the wind that passed by the ground cowardly and arrogantly crawled and whimpered.The beautiful girl, who was as delicate as a rose flower, just sat in the wilderness and waited quietly. The bright colors around her seemed out of place in this place where there was only death.

The son of Iapetus leaned against the rock wall and raised his head. From the girl's perspective, he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

"Why do you want to ask this question?" The hoarse and rough voice sounded low.

"Because I still don't understand why Zeus and you are always so obsessed with human affairs."

Seeing that Prometheus was still ignorant, Pan Duoduo continued, "Human beings... are just one of the creations of the gods. Compared with the gods, they are as insignificant as dust. No one cares about their feet. Gravel, unless that gravel is of great value..."

"You don't hesitate to risk yourself for the sake of mankind, you don't hesitate to sacrifice your freedom, and you don't hesitate to fight against the king of the gods... If you say that all these are only out of mercy for your own creations, out of crimes against Epimetheus Compensating for the mistake, it still seems too thin..."

"As for Zeus's actions, it confuses me even more. Why didn't he stop you from creating special creatures like humans in the first place, but then tried his best to curb the survival of humans..."

"As I said before, in the eyes of Zeus, human beings are nothing more than dust. Why should the high god king care so much about the dust? Even if one day he suddenly finds the dust unpleasant and just wipes it away, why not I think it's troublesome to create an 'I', and use such a roundabout method..."

"Unless there is some necessary reason, I really can't figure out why you would be so persistent in confronting each other over a speck of dust." Pan Duoduo said while looking at the god who was still leaning on the cliff.

She paused, thinking for a moment, and continued: "I never understood the key point...until Ametheus took me to visit the human village, no, it should be said until I integrated into the human village. and taught them how to weave rattan baskets..."

At this point, Prometheus suddenly turned his head around. His tired and vicissitudes of life suddenly became sharp as a blade, and a pair of eagle-like eyes locked on the girl who was talking.

Stared at by such sharp and unpredictable eyes, the girl still had no fear. She calmly looked back at the god who was regarded as a sage, and raised an index finger under his gaze.

The wind mixed with gravel whimpered past.After a while, a small milky white halo the size of half a fingernail condensed on the girl's pale pink fingertips.

The girl lowered her eyes to look at the small cluster of light condensed on her finger. The milky white halo it emitted seemed very weak, and even flickered a little, showing a completely unstable appearance.However, it gives people a feeling full of vitality. Just looking at it, there is an inexplicable sense of comfort.

"This is probably what makes you care about human beings, right? Perhaps, I should call it—faith?"

When Prometheus' deep emerald eyes saw the small ball of light on the girl's fingertips, countless complex colors flashed across.His face was a bit gloomy, although there was still no change in the subtleties of his expression, but Pan Duoduo was sure that his heart was definitely not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"When I noticed the existence of this thing, it was not difficult to understand why Zeus was determined to get rid of humans... In the human village, every human has an insurmountable admiration for you. In their eyes Here, Zeus is a majestic and inviolable existence, and you are the god who makes people respect, convincing and grateful..."

"They have more faith in you than Zeus." Pan Duoduo said in a calm tone.

"To be honest, I am very surprised that faith can produce power similar to divine power, but there is a sense of reason... Such an existence can indeed cause two gods to compete for it. As a human being, I don't I know where your divine power comes from, but the power brought by faith can be obtained through acquired, its importance is self-evident..."

"You are such an ambitious god, which surprises me."

The girl concluded politely and calmly, while calmly retracting the white ball of light on her fingertips.

The atmosphere was tense for a while, and the disturbing vulture was still neighing non-stop, and the bound god stared at the delicate and fragile girl in front of him with a pair of beast-like eyes, flashing his murderous intent.

However, all kinds of emotions that were churning like a boiling spring finally receded silently like a tide.

"You really surprised me." Prometheus said in a hoarse voice, "Your actions just now are tantamount to explaining to me that you are not the Pandora created by Olympus at all."

"I was indeed created by Olympus." The girl said the truth lightly, "You are still entangled in whether I am a creation of Olympus. Is there any point?"

"Who can tell? You don't look honest."

"To each other." Pan Duoduo responded to him expressionlessly.

Prometheus laughed softly, "To be honest, I'm very surprised that you can realize the power of faith so quickly. You did guess something, but it's not completely accurate."

Pan Duoduo pretended to be listening attentively.

"When I first created human beings, I didn't think so much. They were not born for a certain purpose. The first way to grant human wisdom and survival was purely because Epimetheus, that idiot, did something wrong. However, in the process of getting along with human beings, I gradually became aware of a new power... that is what you call belief..."

"I soon discovered that such strange things can only be produced in creatures full of wisdom and thinking. Therefore, human beings are indeed a very special existence."

"Every god in this world, when he was born, has been determined by fate to control the domain and the divine power he can possess... Even if the road is full of ups and downs, he will eventually return to his own position. However, faith brings The power that comes and breaks the rules...it makes a difference."

"I used to think that you were a supporter of fate, but I didn't expect you to be a fighter against fate." Pan Duoduo commented, with a bit of surprise in his tone.

Prometheus glanced at the girl, "You are wrong on this point, I have always believed in fate."

"The existence of faith is not accidental, but the necessity pointed by fate."

"After the birth of human beings, I have seen a vague prediction - in the distant future, faith will be the way of existence of gods..."

"And the divine power inherent in the gods has gradually declined..."
