Chapter 284 Pandora and Pandora's Box!
Chapter 284 Pandora and Pandora's Box!
At this time.
Zeus thought of something and said gloomily, "Prometheus used a trick to get the fire, but this cannot cover up the fact that he disobeyed my orders. This matter cannot be let go!"
"Fire belongs to our God. It's no big deal for humans to use it without permission. They must be punished!"
As he spoke, he looked towards Hephaestus who was sitting on the throne of the Lord. "Hephaestus, use your talent to create a human woman who is loved by everyone and has unparalleled beauty."
"I want this woman to bring disaster to mankind!"
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, as if he was preparing to do something.
When Hephaestus heard what Zeus said, he quickly stood up and nodded in agreement.
Under the curious gazes of Apollo, the god of light, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Hephaestus hurriedly walked out of the Twelve Main Temples to create the so-called human woman.
Because they were quite curious about this matter, and Zeus suddenly ordered them to prepare their talents to bestow upon this human woman.
So, they stayed in Mount Olympus temporarily, waiting for the human woman to be created, and then went out to explore the mysterious demigod and the son of God.
The next morning, just after dawn, the gods gathered in a square.
"Look everyone, this is the human woman that Hephaestus created from mud and water!"
He wears a hat with wings on it, winged boots on his feet, and holds a golden snake-shaped short staff in his hand.
A young boy with a handsome face, full of wisdom, bright and alert eyes, was standing in front of a human-shaped object covered with a golden cloth, introducing it to Zeus and other gods.
One of the twelve main gods, the messenger of God Hermes, possesses one of the fastest speeds among the main gods, and delivers divine orders and messages to the gods.
As he spoke, Hermes pulled away the golden covering, revealing the human woman underneath.
This human woman was still in the form of clay, and apart from her slender figure and face, she looked lifeless.
The goddess of wisdom Athena and other gods were not surprised by this, because it was their turn to take the stage next.
Under the gaze of Zeus and other gods, Hermes cleared his throat a few times and said in a young man's voice, "Ahem, I'll go first!"
"As a woman sent to humans, she must have good eloquence, so that she can be loved by everyone."
"In this way, I will give her my excellent eloquence and social skills..."
As he spoke, Hermes blew towards the clay figure, and divine power surged towards the clay figure woman.
The surface of the clay woman suddenly glowed white, and she gained the talents of eloquence and treachery.
At this time.
She was wearing a pink gown, adorned with earrings and a brooch, with flowers around her neck, and her cheeks exuding extraordinary beauty, looking extremely beautiful.
The goddess of beauty Aphrodite, whose every move exudes stunning temptation and beauty beyond that of mortals, stood up.
He smiled gently and said, "As a woman, besides beauty, the most important thing is to be attractive enough."
"I will grant him all the charm and beauty possible."
A shower of colorful and gorgeous petals formed by divine power flew towards the clay woman, surrounded the clay woman, and bestowed her with talent.
In an instant, she was still a solidified clay figure, but both Hermes and other gods saw temptation and beauty in this clay woman.
At this time, the god of light Apollo stood up, holding a golden lyre, and slowly played, "Beautiful women must understand music. I will grant you the gift of music and the talent of art."
The musical notes formed by divine power floated towards the clay figure.
The goddess of wisdom Athena stepped forward, put beautiful white clothes on the clay figure, put a beautiful wreath on its head, tied a golden headband on it, and then said, "I will give you the skill of weaving..." The light on the clay figure flashed again.
But He did not give wisdom to the clay figure.
At this time.
Zeus glanced at Hera, the Queen of Heaven, who stepped forward and said, "I grant you self-respect and curiosity about everything."
It was the turn of the hunting goddess Artemis. She smiled and said, "I will give you a flexible and strong body..."
Soon, with the blessings of the gods, Pandora gained more talents, as if she possessed all the good things in the world.
Finally, it was the turn of Zeus, the king of gods. He came out and said, "I will give you a name, um..."
After pondering for a while, He said, "I'll just call you Pandora."
It means a woman who is endowed with all gifts.
As soon as the words fell, a burst of light enveloped Pandora.
In the light, Pandora gradually came back to life from the state of a clay figure and became no different from a real person, except that her beautiful eyes were filled with innocence and curiosity.
Soon, many gods left one by one, and finally only Zeus was left.
Zeus handed her a golden box and said carefully, "Pandora, this is my last gift to you, but you must not open it."
After saying this, Pandora's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment, "Since it's a gift, why can't I open it?"
Zeus smiled and said, "The true value of this box can only be realized when it is sealed."
Pandora heard this and said quickly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Zeus."
Of course, although she said so, her eyes were full of curiosity when she looked at the golden box in her hand.
After giving Pandora instructions, Zeus called Hermes and said, "Hermes, Pandora will be in your hands to deliver to Epimetheus."
"Yes, great Zeus!" Hermes bowed.
When Zeus' figure was far away, Hermes looked at Pandora and said with a smile, "Let's go."
As he said this, he was about to pull up Pandora and fly towards the foot of Mount Olympus.
But at this moment, Apollo, the god of light, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, came over.
"It just so happens that we have to go down there too, so let's go together."
Apollo shrugged.
As for the Sun Chariot, just let it fly on its own for a while. It’s not the first time He has done this anyway.
Hermes nodded. He knew that Apollo and Athena were ordered by Zeus to investigate the matter of the son of god and demigod.
At the same time, Zeus also ordered them to trap Prometheus in one place and prevent him from coming out to disrupt the situation during this period.
The figures of the three gods and one man headed down towards the foot of Mount Olympus.
Soon, they took advantage of Prometheus's temporary absence and came to Epimetheus, who was slow to realize the situation.
Seeing the appearance of Hermes, Apollo, and Athena, Epimetheus' face immediately showed a vigilant look, "Hermes? And Athena, Apollo, what are you doing here?"
