Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

Divine power is gradually declining...

After hearing Prometheus say such words in a heavy tone, Pan Duoduo couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this person's "foresight" is indeed amazing.

Although she still hasn't figured out the relationship between this mythical world and her original world, referring to the development process of human beings in the original world, as time goes by, human productivity gradually develops, and the existence of gods It's really fading...

But she still didn't understand what the ultimate goal of Prometheus was—according to her previous understanding, she thought that he wanted to strengthen himself with the power of faith, and then compete with Zeus?However, after listening to his statement now, she felt that such an idea seemed too superficial.

Zeus understands very well, he can't let Prometheus use his faith to grow, and eventually become a threat to his status...

So what is it...

"From the time I got that prophecy, I knew that human beings are a new kind of creature favored by this world. Maybe human beings are still very small now—as you said, they are like dust...but in the future, they will develop Grow, and even... replace God, become the main existence of this world..."

"So, I obeyed the guidance of fate, tried to gain faith from human beings, and slowly transformed into another way of existence of God..."

"If you do this, Zeus will probably think that you want to compete with him for the right to rule?" Pan Duoduo asked with some incomprehension, "Why didn't you tell him this prophecy?"

Prometheus glanced up at her, "I must correct you, I think Zeus doesn't know the existence of faith yet."

"What?" Pan Duoduo was startled, she was full of question marks at this moment, "He doesn't even know why he is so determined to destroy human beings?"

"Who knows what he's thinking," Prometheus snorted softly, "probably because of his poor self-esteem, he felt that human beings didn't show him the surrender and fear he wanted, which offended his so-called divine power. Feeling pissed off."

Pan Duoduo looked at the god in front of her without a word, and suddenly felt that this god really lacked some necessary self-awareness.

——If Zeus still doesn’t know the changes that faith will bring, then the only thing that makes mankind angry with him...probably only Prometheus taught mankind to deceive the gods and steal fire in sacrifices... …

She flattened the corner of her mouth and looked at the ignorant god in front of her, and suddenly saw a little naivety hidden under the halo of wisdom, which was exactly the same as her family's two idiots... This recognition made her shiver involuntarily.

"You didn't say anything nonsense in front of Zeus, did you?" she asked suddenly.

Prometheus was puzzled, "What?"

"It's the saying that humans will eventually replace gods."

"No, how can you say such things." Prometheus shook his head, and Pan Duoduo was relieved when he heard the words, when he heard him continue, "I only warned him in front of him that the rule of Olympus It won't go on forever..."

Pan Duoduo couldn't catch her breath, she clutched her chest, feeling that she was in urgent need of a quick-acting heart-relief pill.

Tell me, why are you trying to mess with him?It's not hard to imagine that with Zeus' narrow-minded temper, he must be very concerned about such words... The thought of destroying people will turn into an inexhaustible hatred...

He couldn't beat them again and again, and he still insisted on talking nonsense, which showed a high-spirited demeanor, but the chance of wretched development was also completely gone.

Is this not what?

"What's the matter with you?" Prometheus looked puzzled, and the girl's expression had become abnormal... distorted since just now, and the appearance of crying, laughing and heartbroken was very strange.

Could it be that Olympus is not as good at finding people as he is... so there is a problem?

Pan Duoduo took a deep breath, and then exhaled deeply, back and forth several times, and finally calmed down the fishy sweetness in her throat.When she turned her eyes back to the god with the title of Light of Wisdom, she felt that all his high god auras were broken in her eyes.

She was about to speak, but the god over there continued the topic on his own.

"If Zeus knew the existence of faith, you would not have been born smoothly." Prometheus glanced at Pan Duoduo, and continued, "He will immediately crush human beings without hesitation, at all costs... this is also The reason why I cannot tell him the prophecies of faith."

"After Zeus received such a prophecy, he would never obey the prophecy's instructions. God was born to stand at the pinnacle of this world... Such a lofty existence was suddenly told one day that the strength of future power will be determined by a group of ants-like creatures , do you think Zeus, who is the king of the gods and stands at the pinnacle of power, will accept it?"

Without Pan Duoduo's response, Prometheus sneered and asked himself, "Zeus will never accept it. In his eyes, this would be a great insult. God should be above everything and not be Anything to restrain it... In order to maintain this status quo, after Zeus knows the existence and function of faith, he will immediately wipe out all human beings, and forever stabilize the rule dominated by God."

Pan Duoduo didn't understand his thoughts, "Isn't it good in your eyes that God will always dominate the world? You are obviously a member of God, why don't you stand by God's side to suppress human beings?"

"I am a staunch supporter of destiny. Since the prophecy has given me instructions, I will obey it. The identity of a prophet is probably like a morning star. I have obtained a vision of the future by virtue of this ability, and I am obliged to use it My own power guides the living beings to move in the right direction." Prometheus's voice softened a little, and his deep emerald eyes were full of firm self-will.

"It's not that we don't stand on the side of the gods, but that we must lead more gods to a new path of destiny. Gaining faith in the gods will continue to exist in a new way, which is to adapt to the future."

After a lot of magic-like remarks, Pan Duoduo thought in amazement, she didn't know how to evaluate his thoughts and logic.

"However, what surprises me is that faith can still work on a human being." Prometheus glanced at Pan Duoduo, and said unabashedly, "In the process of helping human beings, for example, Athena and I Everyone has noticed that human belief can bring strength enhancement, but there are also gods who don't notice it at all."

After all, he glanced pointedly at Epimetheus who was still crying in hallucinations.

Pan Duoduo didn't think it was strange, it was good for Hanhan to be responsible for her happiness, so she wouldn't care about it like some thoughtful gods.

"Before today, I really didn't know that human beings could also be the object of belief. As a human being, you can clearly perceive such subtle changes, and even condense the power of faith. This has to surprise me."

"After I noticed the change, it took me a while to guess that all this was caused by 'faith'. I couldn't use its power until I knew its true nature...

"And you," Prometheus said with complicated eyes, "you guessed everything just because you taught humans to weave frames, and you can condense them skillfully... To be honest, let you go on like this... Makes me feel jealous."

The jealous Pan Duoduo: "..."

When he mentions her, he always contemptuously mentions her as a "mere human being". Will he be afraid of the crispy human beings that she can easily crush with one and a half fingers?

Whoever believes this kind of words is stupid. From her point of view, at most, she is not pleasing to the eye, and she wants to find excuses to kill her.

"You can get rid of your thoughts of getting rid of me," Pan Duoduo persuaded earnestly, "Now you and I are on the opposite side of Zeus, if you get rid of me, Zeus will come out next time Do you still have a way to resist the trick?"

"Although you are imprisoned here, and you don't know how much your divine power has been reduced, human beings still believe in you devoutly and respect you... The beliefs they have generated will probably provide you with continuous power-this is why you have the confidence to cast illusions Deceive Zeus's support?"

"However," she turned her words carelessly, "if Zeus attacks humans, the source of all these powers will be over, and you will lose completely."

"Although I am a weak human being, and I am restricted by the status of a pawn, I am more free than you now. If I am alive, I can play the role of temporarily stabilizing Zeus, and with a person who knows everything like me, I can Protect the human race better for you."

"Know everything?" Prometheus sneered mockingly, "I don't know where you got the confidence to say that?"

"You chose to say those words to me, which means you have given me your trust. Oh, or you have no choice but to trust me." Pan Duoduo shrugged indifferently, "Perhaps other gods have more Great power, but you seem to be unable to find a companion that you can trust and use in a short time."

After all, she looked around the lifeless barren land pretending to be helpless. In this kind of place, it is completely reasonable to say that every day should not work, and that the land will not work.

Prometheus stared at her with squinted eyes in silence for a moment, then opened his mouth to comment, "Your personality really annoys the gods. I really don't know why that kid Epimetheus is fascinated by you."

"To each other, I don't know how such a beautiful god as Sister Pronoya would fall in love with you." Pan Duoduo politely replied, while shaking her head regretfully.

Prometheus choked visibly.

However, when this name was mentioned, a gentle look finally appeared in the eyes of this god who had always had a cold attitude.

Pan Duoduo was amazed, and then regretted it.

Went to his!If she had known that Tie Hen's tenderness was effective, why would she still be arguing with him here? It didn't work even though she was slobbering. She should have played the card of friendship from the very beginning!

"No wonder you arrived here so quickly, it turned out that you got her help." Prometheus muttered to himself, and suddenly looked at Pan Duoduo carefully, "It must be your bad idea."

"It's ugly to say that," Pan Duoduo blinked innocently, "It's obviously that Sister Pronoya loves us for our hard work and wants us to see you soon, so she kindly helped us."

"Then why didn't she come with you?"

Pan Duoduo swore that although the god in front of her spoke a very normal tone, she was still keenly aware of a grievance, and it was a bit like an aggrieved dog whimpering and acting like a baby...

It turns out that being cute like a dog hook is really inherited from the ancestors?

She put her hand to her lips and coughed slightly, "Sister Pronoya misses you very much, but she really can't bear to see you suffering like this... She said that it will make you feel ashamed..."

"Oh..." The god in front of him let out a long voice, and lowered his head somewhat disappointed.

Pan Duoduo didn't know what to say.The main reason is that she has no confidence in front of a Titan god, otherwise she would really want to go up and point at his nose and reprimand him - you didn't do it yourself, why are you pretending to be pitiful here now? !

"Don't get lost," Pan Duoduo endured and endured, and finally enlightened him mercifully, "Beautiful lady... Sister Pronoya said that she will always watch you. She also asked Diudiu to say hello to you on her behalf. Come on... But it seems that now I can only do this work on my behalf... Although I know that you probably don't want to receive my greetings."

"Oh." The other party replied in a low voice, still without emotion.

Pan Duoduo really wanted to say that she knew this before, so why did she do it in the first place?But she also felt that she was still not qualified to stand in front of other gods and criticize his choices.

After holding back for a long time, she finally said, "Amy, Diudiu, Sister Pronoia...even human beings, each of them misses you very much. Maybe you obey the revelation in your prophecy, maybe you have your The beliefs in your heart, but sometimes, you can also consider taking into account the gods around you..."

Prometheus fell silent amidst the girl's words.He glanced at his son and younger brother who were still in hallucinations, saw the heartbroken expressions on their faces, and felt stuffy and stagnant in his chest.

Did he make the wrong choice?Maybe from their point of view, it is wrong... But from his own point of view, there are too many last resorts.

"Foresight" has brought him various world-renowned titles, but it is also a responsibility he must shoulder.Fate has chosen him, and he must lead the way to the correct future, even at the expense of necessary sacrifices.

However, after all, I am sorry for the family members he loves.

At this moment, Prometheus really let go of his desire to kill the girl in front of him.

"You... are fine." His voice was a little hoarse than before, but he was a little more relieved, "Maybe the choice made by the idiots is the right one."

"Things have come to this, I have to believe that you are indeed worthy of their true tears for you. Since you are the one chosen by my beloved wife, son and bad brother, then I can only recognize you."

"Although your background is not simple, I have decided not to pursue this matter for the time being."

"I really feel guilty towards them, but I have the mission and meaning of my existence, for which I even have to give all I have. I don't need anyone to help me accomplish what I should accomplish, but now I I need you to replace me and take care of humans and those two idiots."

Pan Duoduo was speechless because of this kind of pleading tone, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "You are really not being honest, you have to express it so awkwardly when you say cooperation, just say that you agree to join forces with me. Let me do it Does taking care of them allow you to let go of your responsibilities to them? Do you want to love a god and invite yourself to enjoy it? No one can replace it.”

The true feelings brewing in Prometheus' eyes were cut off.

"I really don't like you." He emphasized sneeringly, as if condescending to be reluctant to cooperate with her.

"Coincidentally, so do I." Pan Duoduo didn't lose her momentum at all.

One person and one god looked at each other with disgust for a long while, and finally held their noses and started an unprecedented human-god cooperation meeting.

After all, they have been talking nonsense for a long time in order to achieve a joint situation, and now they have to seize the time to discuss how to plan and deal with it in the future.

……

"Where's the box?"

"I brought it, I don't feel at ease wherever I put it..."

"Is that so..."

……

"Speaking of which, does Zeus really believe in your prophecy..."

"He says he doesn't believe it, but he really cares about it secretly..."

……

"Can you make those two over there quiet down? It's really noisy."

"...They are probably caught in the stage of arguing and arguing with me now, and it will be true if they are louder."

"OK then……"

……

On the barren cliff, the blond girl chatted with the god bound by chains in a low voice. Each of them looked serious, nodding or shaking their heads from time to time, seriously planning the future layout.

Next to them are the centaurs, but they are relentlessly holding one big and one small, preventing them from jumping up like dogs to quarrel with the non-existent "bad father" and "bad brother".The scene was so weird no matter how you looked at it.

Due to time constraints, the discussion between Pan Duoduo and Prometheus did not waste time doing Tai Chi as in the beginning, but was straightforward and efficient.After a long time, they made a decision and set a general direction. As for the details, they had to go down and make arrangements.

Pan Duoduo glanced at the two who were still "making trouble for no reason", then glanced at Prometheus, gloating, "If they know that you are lying to them, maybe you really want to become a 'bad boy'." Dad', 'bad brother'."

"Don't forget that you are also a participant." Prometheus glanced back coolly.

"Obviously the mastermind is you." The girl spread her hands.

"Remember to do what I tell you when you go back."

"Don't act like I'm your subordinate, obviously I think I have more ideas." Pan Duoduo was not convinced, "You are, so don't make any mistakes in the future."

"Just take care of yourself and the two idiots." Prometheus said blankly.

At this time, there was a cry of eagles in the sky.Pan Duoduo raised her head following the sound, and saw two fierce birds circling above their heads, as if they were about to pounce down at any moment to peck at the locked prey.

Pan Duoduo gave Prometheus a sympathetic look, but the other party was indifferent, and told her other things, "The illusion over there is about to end, they will think that you are still saved, and will leave in a hurry, according to' I've got to give you a way to take you to find medicine. But you have to remember, do all the tricks."

"You don't need to explain." Pan Duoduo looked up at the eagle eagle above her head, touched the bow and arrow on her back unconsciously, and suddenly said to the god beside him, "I just remembered, Olympian Si gave me the ability to hunt wild animals..."

"That's not an ordinary vulture. With your strength, even if you hit it, you won't die." Prometheus calmly pierced the girl's fantasy.

"That... I still remember," the girl continued weakly, "Aris gave me 'a little strength'."

She turned her head to look at Prometheus, staring at each other, and fell into a long silence.
