"Quick, give it to me!"
Looking at Nakano Yu, Pandora placed one hand on her waist while extending the other toward Nakano Yu, demanding something from the young man.
However, Nakano Yu, who stood before Pandora, looked surprised, completely unaware of what Pandora was asking for.
"Pandora, what are you talking about? I really don't understand."
Asking in confusion, Nakano Yu was no longer sure what Pandora was trying to do.
At first, when Nakano Yu saw Pandora attacking him, he thought it was because he had killed the Inobedient God Prometheus, so Pandora was angry, and he found Pandora strange.
After all, both the reincarnation ritual and the Campione were masterpieces of Pandora and Epimetheus, and Prometheus had not truly died, so why would Pandora be so upset?
At first, Nakano Yu thought that way, but now it seemed that the reason for Pandora's anger probably had little to do with killing the Inobedient God Prometheus, but rather… that he had taken something from Pandora?
No! He absolutely had not taken anything!!!
Not only does Nakano Yu currently lack the ability to actively search for Pandora, but even if he found her, what could Pandora possibly have that would be worth stealing?
Would it be Pandora's childish panties?
But then again, if he actively met her, he would probably only see Pandora in her mature form, right?
That is the true Witch, something this little girl before him could not compare to.
"You're still pretending to be innocent! Yu, quickly give Pandora's Box back to me!"
Seeing Nakano Yu deny it, Pandora reached out and struck Nakano Yu.
The thing Nakano Yu had taken was no joke! It was her divine item, Pandora's Box!
Pandora's Box contains all the disasters, sins, evil, and plagues of the human world! Moreover, Pandora's Box constantly tempts its holder to open it, and once opened, it turns the human world into hell!
"A box? Are you saying that pandoras box was stolen?"
Nakano Yu, holding Pandora's hand, frowned after hearing her worried words.
How could Nakano Yu not know about the divine artifact, pandoras box?
As for pandoras box, this matter actually has a significant connection to Prometheus.
Pandoras box, from Ancient Greek Mythology, was the punishment of the gods of Mount Olympus against humanity.
Rather than saying it was punishment for humanity, it would be more accurate to say it was punishment from the gods of Olympus directed specifically at Prometheus; humanity was merely collateral damage.
After Prometheus stole fire, the gods of Olympus decided to punish humanity, and their conclusion was to give them the source of disaster.
But how would humanity receive that source of disaster? The gods thought of one god, who was Prometheus's younger brother, Epimetheus!
Thus the gods created Pandora and bestowed gifts upon her.
Hephaestus, the god of fire, gave her a golden dress; Aphrodite, the goddess of love, granted her charm and the power to seduce men; Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her how to speak; all the gods gave her gifts, and because of that Pandora became the most attractive woman.
After Pandora's birth, Zeus also gave Pandora unlimited curiosity and handed her a Box filled with misfortune, disaster, and plague, with the strict warning never to open it.
After receiving the Box, the gods sent this perfect human woman to Epimetheus, Prometheus's younger brother.
As for this, how could Prometheus, the Titan God of Prophecy, not foresee it? Before the gods took him away and imprisoned him on the Caucasus Mountains to suffer punishment, Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from the gods.
Epimetheus firmly believed this, until the first time he saw Pandora; at that moment, he threw all of Prometheus's words out of his mind and surrendered himself to Pandora's beauty and love.
And that sowed the seed of disaster for humanity; Pandora, holding the Box and constantly driven by curiosity, although she listened to Zeus's warning and tried not to open it, the curiosity Zeus had given her eventually became stronger.
In the end, one day Pandora could no longer suppress her curiosity; she quietly opened a small crack in the Box, wanting to see what was inside.
The moment the crack opened, disease, disaster, misfortune, and sin flew out from the Box.
This sight frightened Pandora, so she quickly closed the Box, but she also sealed away the hope at the very bottom of the Box.
After that, humanity was tormented by the negative disasters that had been released, and Pandora was given the title "Witch" by humanity, while the Box received the name — Pandoras box!
As for the Box's final fate, it was returned to the gods of Mount Olympus and completely sealed away.
Although the myth of pandoras box ends with humanity's victory, that does not mean modern humans can easily deal with it; without a doubt, pandoras box is a divine artifact with the ability to destroy the world.
Only… Nakano Yu did not understand why pandoras box would be stolen, and… Pandora said that he was the one who stole it.
That confused Nakano Yu.
He does not want to destroy the world, so why would he steal pandoras box?
Only the trace of hope at the very bottom of pandoras box might interest him; everything else… disaster, misfortune, and the like, do not sound like anything good.
"You're asking me?! Return the Box immediately! That is not a toy!"
Hearing Nakano Yu actually ask him back, Pandora became nervous; after opening the Box once, she clearly knew how terrifying pandoras box was; it was not something that could be treated like a toy!
"I did not take pandoras box. I can say with certainty that this is the first time I've met you today."
Returning to his senses, Nakano Yu spoke seriously, his expression convincing, completely like someone who was not lying.
"…Really, you didn't take it?"
Seeing Nakano Yu so serious, Pandora gradually calmed down, but she still looked at him suspiciously.
"Of course I didn't! Every time I want to see Pandora, I have to kill a Heretic God to be summoned. To actively search for Pandora and steal pandoras box, that's impossible."
Nakano Yu said with certainty. Although he now possessed Eyes of Peeking Fate, without the asgard key he could not freely travel between worlds. Besides, he had been busy summoning and killing the Inobedient God Prometheus. When would he have had the time to steal pandoras box?
"Are you sure you weren't the one who stole it?"
Pandora still had doubts in her heart. She had not clearly seen who stole pandoras box, that figure had been completely black, even she could not see through it. But she had clearly sensed Nakano Yu's aura on that shadow.
There could be no mistake!
At that time Pandora had already guessed that it was Nakano Yu who stole pandoras box, and although she respected him, at the same time she also held a certain degree of caution toward him.
After all, every time Nakano Yu appeared after killing a Heretic God, Pandora could sense an Authority inexplicably appearing on him. That Authority did not come from the reincarnation ritual, it was rootless, as though it had appeared out of nowhere.
Pandora had been curious about it since their first meeting, but she still had not received an answer.
Also, the speed at which Nakano Yu kills Heretic Gods was far too abnormal.
It had not even been half a year, right? Nakano Yu had already killed a total of five Heretic Gods, right? And with today's, it was already six!
On average, one every ten days!
That was far too abnormal. The appearance of Heretic Gods in this world is extremely rare, yet even so, Nakano Yu had killed six within half a year!
Although Pandora knew that humans had rituals for summoning Heretic Gods, did that really require no preparation at all?
Summoning a Heretic God should be something extremely difficult, yet he does it every ten days…
Pandora grabbed her head, and no matter how much she thought about it, she could not understand, so she decided to believe Nakano Yu.
What Pandora did not know was that Nakano Yu possessed two incredible powers: Moon Authority and Glimpse of Fate.
Moon Authority can create Moon God Envoys with the strength of a great knight, and under moonlight allows instantaneous travel across the world.
And Glimpse of Fate gives answers to every doubt.
In other words, Nakano Yu knows how to summon Heretic Gods, where the artifacts are located, and can send Moon God Envoys to retrieve them. With those combinations, killing a Heretic God every ten days is actually even slow.
"Forget it, I'll deal with the matter of the Box later. Yu, which Heretic God did you kill this time?"
Pandora sighed. The matter of pandoras box was important, but since Nakano Yu was not connected to it, there was no point continuing to insist.
Nakano Yu then smiled and said:
"The Heretic God I killed this time… was your older brother, Pandora."
"Ha?!"
