"Heretic God Prometheus?"
Looking at Nakano Yu, Pandora raised her eyebrows. She did not expect that the God Nakano Yu killed this time would be Prometheus.
But Pandora did not consider it surprising. There are so many Gods in the world; it is possible for Nakano Yu to encounter any Heretic God. However… Pandora was truly curious about what kind of Power Nakano Yu would obtain after killing Prometheus.
Prometheus, ah, he is Epimetheus's older brother, the Titan God-div known as the "Wise Man" in ancient Greek mythology, who ruled over the power of Prophecy. What kind of power did Nakano Yu obtain after killing him?
Peerless Wisdom?
Foreknowledge of the future?
Or the wild and powerful body of a Titan God-div?
Rubbing her chin, Pandora's curiosity was completely awakened. Thinking about it, Pandora looked at Nakano Yu. After observing the young man for some time, Pandora felt that the Power the young man would obtain should be the Titan's Wisdom.
However, what kind of Power he would obtain still depended on Nakano Yu's luck.
Thinking about it, Pandora took two steps forward and reached out to hold the young man's face.
"I won't blame Yu for the incident with pandoras box. Yu probably didn't know either. Right now I have urgent matters I need to deal with, so… see you next time."
Meeting the young man's gaze, Pandora gently moved closer, her voice soft, while her faint fragrance continuously filled the young man's nostrils.
"See you next time."
Nakano Yu lightly inhaled and said.
The moment the words fell, Pandora moved closer.
After a long time, Pandora finally released her hands from the young man's cheeks and quietly watched as his figure disappeared.
After activating the Reincarnation Ritual to grant Nakano Yu the curses and blessings of the Gods and sending the young man back to the real world, Pandora deeply sighed and murmured:
"Well then… where am I supposed to go to find pandoras box?"
On Nakano Yu's side, he slowly woke up on the seashore while holding his head that still hurt. Nakano Yu looked around and discovered that it was already afternoon.
He remembered that it had been night when he killed the Inobedient God Prometheus. Now it was afternoon, which meant that Nakano Yu had been unconscious for almost an entire day, or perhaps even longer.
"I was unconscious for quite a long time. Fortunately, evening will arrive soon, so I can simply use the Power of the Moon to return… Hm? What is this…"
Supporting himself with his hand, Nakano Yu looked at the sunset hanging on the horizon. As he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill in his hand.
He turned his head and looked behind himself, seeing a transparent cone-shaped object lying beside his hand.
That cone-shaped object was none other than the stone nail of the sinner, which Nakano Yu recognized because he had previously picked it up in the Village of Vampire Ninjas.
"This thing actually remained?"
Seeing the stone nail of the sinner, Nakano Yu was obviously surprised. He thought this thing had been destroyed by him, but he did not expect it to remain completely intact. He had unbelievably good luck.
Thinking of that, Nakano Yu picked up the stone nail of the sinner.
After obtaining the stone nail of the sinner, Nakano Yu had not even had time to check what abilities it possessed before rushing to summon the Inobedient God Prometheus. Now that this thing was still here, he might as well take a look. Maybe it had some useful abilities.
Holding the stone nail of the sinner, the young man's gaze rested upon it, and then a system panel appeared:
Divine Artifact: Stone Nail of the Sinner: A diamond nail forged by King Zeus to punish Prometheus, the God who stole fire. It is unbelievably hard and can even pierce the body of a Titan God-div.
Ability: Can summon Prometheus as a subordinate God for ten minutes, but can only be used once per week!
Looking at this Divine Artifact, Nakano Yu appeared somewhat speechless.
Summon Prometheus as a subordinate God for ten minutes, and only once per week, this thing… is somewhat useless.
In battles between God Slayers and Heretic Gods, although subordinate Gods can cause certain disturbances, once a God Slayer or Heretic God becomes serious, a subordinate God would only be instantly killed, not to mention that the stone nail of the sinner can only summon for ten minutes.
Rubbing his temples, Nakano Yu felt that this thing was nowhere near as good as Excalibur. After all, Excalibur can summon twelve Knights to fight as subordinate Gods, and their battle duration is far longer than the stone nail of the sinner, without the once-per-week limitation.
Running his fingers across the smooth surface of the stone nail of the sinner, Nakano Yu pondered what actual use this Divine Artifact truly had.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration passed through the young man's mind.
Summoning Prometheus as a subordinate God for ten minutes, limited to once per week. From this, it was obvious that the usefulness of this Divine Artifact in battle was very small, almost nonexistent.
But what if the Prometheus summoned by the stone nail of the sinner possessed the ability of Prophecy?
Wouldn't that mean he had obtained the opportunity to learn the future once every week?
If that was the case, then this Divine Artifact would still be useful.
Thinking of that, Nakano Yu put away the stone nail of the sinner. Nakano Yu was not in a hurry to stand up and leave.
After all, where you fall down, you might as well lie there for a while too.
After killing the Inobedient God Prometheus, Nakano Yu, as usual, received five draw opportunities. In addition, he also received the Power obtained from killing the Inobedient God Prometheus.
Nakano Yu thought for a moment and opened the system panel.
On the personal panel, Nakano Yu quickly found his newly acquired Power.
As expected, Nakano Yu did not obtain Prometheus's Power of Prophecy, but instead a very strange Power — Lightning Fire Born from Water.
"This Power is that Lightning and Fire that almost seriously injured me, right?"
Looking at the name of the Power, what appeared in Nakano Yu's mind was the scene when Prometheus rushed out from the sea and transformed into dark clouds.
He remembered that the power of that Lightning and Fire was quite strong. Although it could not reach the terrifying destructive power of the Eastern God of War when transformed into the White Horse, its attack speed was high and it could attack multiple times.
Rubbing his forehead, Nakano Yu began reading the system's detailed description of the Power Lightning Fire Born from Water:
Power: Lightning Fire Born from Water: From — Inobedient God Prometheus.
Lightning Fire Born from Water: A Power usurped after defeating the Inobedient God Prometheus. By using this Power, the user can transform into a dark cloud immune to physical attacks and release powerful Lightning and Fire while consuming a small amount of magical energy, but while this Power is active, other Powers cannot be used.
The Power's description was very simple, but one thing caught Nakano Yu's attention.
It was not the powerful Lightning and Fire released by Lightning Fire Born from Water, but the sentence before that: the user can transform into a dark cloud immune to physical attacks.
"Immunity to physical attacks, huh? It might have miraculous effects against certain Heretic Gods."
Nakano Yu murmured. Complete immunity to physical attacks. If he faced a Heretic God who relied on brutal physical strength, like Heracles, the physical immunity of Lightning Fire Born from Water might give Nakano Yu the advantage from the very beginning of the clash.
However, the regrettable thing was that other Powers could not be used while this Power was active, just like the relationship between the ten transformations of the Eastern God of War; the effects of the transformations could not coexist.
If other Powers could be used while Lightning Fire Born from Water was active, Nakano Yu would truly love it. After all, immunity to physical attacks is an amazing thing, but unfortunately, there is no "if."
Otherwise, unless he encountered a Heretic God specializing in brute force and physical combat, Nakano Yu estimated that he would very rarely use the Power Lightning Fire Born from Water.
After understanding his newly acquired Power, Nakano Yu was already about to close the system panel when he suddenly noticed that his number of draws had reached nine.
Speaking of which, the last ten consecutive draw had been two days ago; at that time he only had thirteen draws, and after using one tenfold draw, he had three remaining. Then he completed the daily mission, adding another one, making four draws.
As for yesterday… difficult to say. Nakano Yu did not do it, because he had been unconscious the entire day and had already missed the mission.
However, that was not very important. After killing the Inobedient God Prometheus, the system still rewarded him with five draw opportunities, only one short of a tenfold draw… but!
On the other hand, Nakano Yu felt that there was no longer any need to save up for tenfold draws.
Who was he?! He was the only Campione in this world! And now he possessed the "Grace of the Holy Lucky One" and the emblem of the lucky snake. Nakano Yu felt capable.
One draw for gold! Tonight!
Thinking of that, Nakano Yu spoke in his mind without hesitation:
"System, one draw, one attempt, miracle!"
"Ding! Please have the host spin the wheel."
The moment Nakano Yu's thought fell, the familiar lottery wheel appeared before him.
"Just one draw. If I don't get anything good, I'll give up."
Placing his hand on the wheel, Nakano Yu took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself.
Although what Nakano Yu obtained from the previous tenfold draw was not bad, Nakano Yu always felt that the damned system was not exactly that generous.
In any case, for something dependent on luck, Nakano Yu still had to think carefully.
Thinking of that, Nakano Yu forcefully swung his hand, and the wheel began spinning rapidly.
Since it was only one draw, Nakano Yu did not immediately hear the system notification in his ear, but instead waited for the wheel to slowly stop.
Soon the wheel stopped. Under Nakano Yu's excited yet nervous gaze, the red pointer on the wheel slowly stopped at "Random Divine Artifact."
When the wheel completely stopped, Nakano Yu's ear also heard the system notification:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine artifact: pandoras box!"
"???"
After hearing the system notification, Nakano Yu's mind was filled with questions.
Damned system, what did you just say I drew?
pandoras box? Is that the one Pandora just lost?
Thinking of that, Nakano Yu's expression gradually became strange.
Although Nakano Yu did not know whether the pandoras box he drew was the same as the "magic box" stolen from Pandora, what was certain now was that one "magic box" was indeed in his possession.
Wait, could it be that the one who stole pandoras box was actually the damned system?
If that's the case… could it be that those Powers were obtained because the damned system was killing Heretic Gods one by one?
With an expression as though suffering from constipation, Nakano Yu silently closed the system panel.
It was over, now he would no longer be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
