People are in the moon, The Sims - #138 - Chapter 138

At this time, I suddenly felt envious. Before I came to this valley, I had already quit or died due to various hardships. The former was still alive, while the latter at least still had his soul.

Not only did this extremely active body not bring safety to this warrior, but the vitality and vitality in his body attracted the attention of all the souls exuding black energy around him. One after another, dull eyes began to fill with blood. It was like a beast that had been hungry for a long time and finally saw its prey.

One after another, evil spirit-like beings rushed towards the bodies of the warriors. Fangs began to appear in the mouths, and even the hands became like claws. The black claws seemed to be able to easily tear open the skin and the internal organs. And bones don’t seem to be difficult to forcibly remove from the body.

Those smaller, child-like shadows seemed to understand that it was difficult to snatch so-called food from other people’s mouths, so they rushed towards the adventurers who had not yet recovered their ability to move or were dead.

At this moment, the screams continued to echo in the nightmare-like village, and the smell of hot blood began to fill the air. The crows around them began to sing loudly, as if praising that they were about to harvest a delicious dinner, presumably after Even the bones will be completely absorbed into their stomachs by these crows.

In the end, there may be only the inconspicuous blood left on the earth telling everyone that some hurtful things have happened here. However, what exactly happened here, I am afraid only those who have experienced it can truly understand this. Carve everything into your heart.

It’s really a bit miserable.

Ion walked out of the darkness, but these souls that seemed to have turned into evil ghosts did not attack Ion. Some souls seemed to be eating these new flesh and blood, tearing apart the souls of these warriors and absorbing them into their bodies. After the birth, I sobered up a lot, so when I looked at Yiweng, there was a bit of sadness and a bit of shame in his eyes.

It seems that they don’t want to do this, but they can’t control it.

And the souls of those children brought these pieces of meat to Ion. For a moment, Ion didn’t know whether he should laugh or be angry.

And he raised his right hand high, and an hourglass appeared in his hand. The silver sand that was slowly flowing stopped at this moment, and the silver power began to spread outward. , and then time in the entire village seemed to have stopped.

All the souls stopped their movements at this moment, and Ion glanced at the corridor still stained with blood. The reason for the emergence of this village should be in this temple.

Some are people I once knew, some are people who have been wandering in this world for hundreds of years. It’s time to end it all, and all grudges should be completely let go at this moment.

Ion was ready to meet the person behind the scenes.

Chapter 486: Pandora

After the blood remaining on the ground gradually dried up, it began to smell a little bit, and even had an unimaginable viscosity.

Looking at the ground like this, Ion did not hesitate and directly spread his ice breath outward, and then covered the dirty ground with a layer of frost, and even this layer of frost began to turn the entire temple into a Snow-white color, although after mastering the power of the four seasons, he can summon other plants, but his best among the four seasons is indeed winter.

At the same time, as the ice spreads, flowers that bloom only in four seasons also appeared in the ice. With the appearance of these flowers, the environment of this white temple that began to be transformed by the ice was somewhat different. There is also a bit of vitality, although this vitality is also false, everything is short-lived in the ice.

Walking deeper into this area, there are still some traces of murals on the mottled walls. The murals depict the stories of people in the Bronze Age, from the deception of the gods to the one who The wise men stole the fire, and the gods sent a woman to come to mankind.

The disaster released by the box in the hand of the beautiful woman, everything submerged by the flood, and the soul in the flood lingered on the ground, unwilling to disperse for a long time.

Finally, this dreamy village appeared, and what maintained this village was an existence hidden under a cloak. So the existence in this temple now, even if it is not the existence wearing a cloak, must be the same as the existence in the cloak. That existence is relevant.

Ion was a little curious, who knew everything about the Bronze Age? Even Deucalion has died. Although the story of this hero is still circulating in people’s mouths, it is still a mystery as to what this hero experienced before he created mankind. Those who were killed by gods in the flood The fans were interested in the people they secretly rescued, and they were ordered not to tell anyone about the past.

It actually goes against the current Olympus gods. He is really a special person who maintains this illusion of existence.

If you think about it carefully, the stories here spread and attract demigod heroes with the blood of gods to come here. Isn’t this revenge on those gods?

Look, the existence that you once abandoned and forgotten is sucking your blood. You want to gain faith, and we will completely destroy the seeds that spread faith.

Let the blood with mysterious power be sprinkled on the earth, and then slowly rot, stink, dry up and return to soil, as if you are despising the gods.

Who is it that has this kind of hatred for the gods?

It must be an existence that does not have such strong power to resist the gods. If it is an existence like Gaia who wants to take away power and has a certain amount of power, but cannot resist Zeus now, it will not adopt such an approach. Silently accumulating his own strength, waiting for one day to pull down the being who is currently sitting on the throne.

So is there a surviving bronze human in this temple?

Deep in the temple, the fire lit up the entire interior of the temple. A person wearing a black robe was sitting in the center of the temple. The surroundings were full of blood, rotten flesh and some bones, and this person wearing a black robe sat in the center of the temple. The robe existed, and in his arms he held a decayed figure wearing somewhat familiar clothing.

That suit of clothes belonged to the brother of Prometheus and the husband of the woman known as the disaster of mankind.

“Lord Ionlus…it is indeed you. I already knew that you are not an ordinary person from the appearance that has not changed for decades, but I didn’t expect that you and those Olympus Gods are different, which is why you are welcome here so far. As the owner of this village, please allow me to say to you – welcome home.”

An old voice came out of the mouth of the cloaked man. It was the voice of an old woman. She put the remains in her arms aside very respectfully. The cloaked man slowly stood up from the center of the temple. .

Under the reflection of the flame, he raised his head, revealing a face that even though he was old, he could still see the face of his youth, and at the same time, it also had a bit of bewitching power. Soon, this face The face slowly overlapped with a face in his memory.

It turns out that this person has her own resentment towards the gods, maybe even more resentment towards herself, that’s why she stays here! That’s why I created the illusion of another world where no tragedy has ever happened.

From the moment she saw the night, Ion was already certain that this night was the real world. In order to maintain the existence of those souls and to defy the gods, the information about her choice of this village was quietly revealed, thus more People come here and become the nourishment for these souls to exist.

“I didn’t expect you were still alive and could do this…Pandora.”

Yes, the old woman in front of me is the former Pandora. I really didn’t expect this existence. She didn’t die in the great flood. She even found the original place of bronze human beings, the place where she once deceived the people. Such a beautiful fantasy world.

“Are you resenting your former self? Are you resenting yourself for being used as a tool and puppet by those beings in Olympus?”

Ion did not feel any tenderness that once belonged to humans from the Pandora in front of him, nor did he feel her innocence. Although the former Pandora had unimaginable curiosity, she was indeed a virtuous wife, but Now it’s just a demon looking for revenge.

“What do you think? The purpose of creating me is to make me lose everything. My life and death are nothing to them. How can I not have resentment in my heart?”

With a weird smile on her face, Pandora turned her head slightly and clasped her hands on her chest. Her expression was like that of a madman, and there was a bit of strange tenderness in her tone. “I guess these souls think so too, but no.” Relationship… Dear everyone, you will live happily here forever.

I will keep looking at those gods, and I will keep absorbing their blood…until those aloft beings fall from the throne in the sky! ! At that time, I will definitely lead everyone to sing loudly! ! “

Chapter 487: Be my dog

After Pandora turned around, her eyes focused on her husband’s body. The black cloak and black skirt danced with it, like a blooming black flower, “Hahahaha – my dear, you are Isn’t that what I think… No… I must be thinking that way, I will bring everyone here to laugh at those abominable gods forever!!”

The tone ranged from gentle to crazy, rising and falling, as if there was no pattern.

Ion understands the resentment in Pandora’s heart, but one thing is that she is going too far now. If those souls are willing to stay with her on this land and continue to rely on the blood of the gods to survive, they will laugh together. , to resent those gods, then Ion respects the choice of these souls.

They are the ones who are resentful, and they are the ones who cannot let go. As a god who respects human choices, he will naturally not forcefully change the minds of these souls according to his own wishes.

But the Pandora in front of them didn’t give these souls a choice.

“What about those souls? Are you going to let everyone wander around here with you? Pandora…replace everyone’s thoughts with your own thoughts. What’s the difference between you and the god you laugh at? ?”

For such a woman who was born as a tool to take revenge on mankind, Ion had some sympathy for her. Her character when she was born was not cultivated by herself at all. Naturally, Pandora had the qualifications and reasons to resent her.

Pandora suddenly tilted her head and widened her eyes. Her face looked extremely terrifying at this moment, “What are you talking about? How could they not have resentment in their hearts? How could they not have resentment against those gods in their hearts? They You must be like me, wanting to laugh at those gods here forever!

How could they be freed without seeing those gods fall? ! “

The sharp voice was like the howl of a banshee. There was no way to calm down the guy in front of him with such persuasion. He could only use his fist to punch his ice power into the guy’s head. See if you can calm down that overly irritable brain!

It’s more or less an acquaintance. I want to give these still wandering souls a chance to choose.

With a slight snap of his fingers, Pandora, who had a crazy expression on her face, immediately put her seal on the spot. Ion moved his body slightly, and then calculated the strength of his fist. After all, there was such a thing. A being who hates the Olympus gods is here, and maybe he can give those Olympus gods a bite in the future.

The cold magic power condensed on his fist, and then he punched Pandora on the head.

Ice flowers bloomed and fell into fragments on the head of what I can also call a witch. It seemed as if they were helping her get rid of the resentment in her head.

However, the expression of the scene in front of Ion is a little numb. The scene in front of him is seriously different from what he imagined. Is there something wrong with this fairy tale-like painting style?

Why is there something like Marshal C’s normal sense of déjà vu after being poked in the eyes? Could it be that Pandora’s brain suffered from water damage during the flood that year, so it malfunctioned? This is not impossible. After all, to a certain extent, the gods who created Pandora had just used their faith to shape the body and had not had a long time. Therefore, a lot of technology should have been used when creating this artificial human.

Because it was soaked in seawater for a long time and no maintenance was carried out for such a long time, certain problems occurred.

…

It should be… normal… right?

There is everything in the world. In this era, such a special existence appears. As long as you open your mind, you won’t find it strange.

Ion took a deep breath, it was just that he had not met such a person in a long time.

Snapping her fingers again, time began to flow normally. Pandora, who had her head tilted to one side, gradually came back to her senses, and her crazy eyes seemed to wake up. She sighed heavily, and her old face also He is quickly regaining his youth and beauty. After all, he is a life form created by gods, and he also has a lot of power from gods in his body.

To a certain extent, Pandora is more suitable for learning all kinds of magic than current humans.

Pandora, who had already had white hair, sighed. She did calm down a lot after the magic of ice entered her brain, but the resentment and madness would not disappear without a trace just because her brain regained its composure. On the contrary. , it is precisely because of such calmness that she becomes even more resentful. If Pandora was a mad dog in the past, then she is a lurking poisonous snake now.

As time goes by, this venom-like resentment will become more sinister.

“I’m sorry, Lord Ionlus, for letting you see such a rude side.”

Pandora bowed slightly, and finally a faint smile appeared on her face. She looked like a gentle and quiet woman. At this moment, whether it was the curiosity that was given to her heart, or later in their married life. The gentleness he had cultivated turned into a calmness like lake water at this moment.

After going through so much, there is nothing that can make this woman feel any inner turmoil anymore, except for the day when she can get her revenge.

“I will let go of everyone’s souls and let them choose for themselves. If you are willing to put down everything and go to the Elysee, then I will let go of the restraints and be willing to wait with me here for the day when the gods fall from the heights. Then we’ll hang out here together.”

Ion looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly thought of something interesting, so he took a few steps forward, pinched Pandora’s lowered face gently, “Be my dog, Pandora, I I will lend you my frozen godhead, and then you can take away all the powers from the Furies and the others. You should be able to do it with such resentment in your heart.”

At that time, the woman in front of her had the capital to arm-wrestle with Zeus and the others. Otherwise, even if it is a poisonous snake, what kind of attack can it make if it cannot bite the opponent’s skin? The venom of that resentment is nothing more than an itchy joke.

Pandora, who had calmed down, also understood what Ion meant. She who was crazy before took it for granted. Without strength, any revenge is just a sinking that is destined to fail.

“Then please let Pandora be the most loyal wild dog around you. This wild dog with fangs will definitely satisfy you.”

Chapter 488: Hope and Athena

“Speaking of which, I have something I want to give you.”

Looking at the box in his hand, Ion raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that he could see this box again after so many years. It was not lost in the flood or recovered by the gods, but it has always been there. In the hands of this woman, perhaps Pandora wanted to hold this box as a thought, and as a presence to inspire herself.

But there is one last thing in this box.

With this sealed thing, I may be able to have a brand new priesthood, which will definitely come after all the disasters are over – hope!

Use your own divine power to wrap the entire box tightly, and then stretch out your hand to push the box in front of you. A bright golden light slowly rises from the box, which has been sealed for a long time. , the existence that should have appeared on this earth a long time ago, is the last existence whose final whereabouts are unknown, and was even sealed by the gods in legends.

Looking at this golden light, Ion took a deep breath. Maybe this light is not as bright as he imagined, maybe this power is not so powerful.

But [Hope] is the most special no matter where it is or at any time. It does not need to be so powerful. As long as it exists there and this light never goes out, it will one day turn into starlight all over the sky.

It is a flame, a sign of life, a road sign that guides people with lofty ideals to move forward, a star that keeps twinkling in the storm and darkness.

It looks fragile, but is extremely strong. It is an existence that is absolutely indispensable in this world.

It’s just… The gods of Olympus cannot be unaware of the importance of [Hope]. According to legend, [Hope] was put into this box by Athena herself, but since hope is at the bottom of the box, Maybe it means that all this is not as easy as imagined, maybe the existence itself is secretly placed in the box.

If this is really the case, then…what is Athena’s purpose?

Is this ray of light in front of me a trap? Or is it Athena’s unknown plan? Because this history is different from what I know, the gods are gods of machines, so the legends about the birth of the gods can only be used as a reference for the original relationship between the fleets, and cannot be completely believed in the relationship between Athena and Zeus. The relationship between… Ion cannot know exactly.

Then Athena would not put this hope in the box for the prophecy of her friend Prometheus.

But I have to say that the significance of the power in front of you is really important. It is like someone telling you that the elixir of life is in the box in front of you, and if you put your hand into the box, you may get hurt and You will not die, but you may also get the elixir directly. What would you choose?

What’s more, how can the value of [hope] be measured by the elixir of life?

No need to say anything, just grab this golden light in your hands!

Doesn’t this power mean that one can escape the shackles of fate? When you have already mastered the time, even if you really want to plot against yourself, how can you succeed easily? If you really want to talk about calculations, then it would be too early to bury them.

As a man-made non-existent person, before the three goddesses of destiny were born, how could someone peek into my future and plant the seeds of this trap early?

What surprised Ion even more was that this golden ray of light, after being taken into his hands, directly penetrated into the core of the machine god that he had never completely integrated. With the integration of this ray of light, there was no The core of the machine god that can be completely absorbed by itself also begins to show signs of defusion, and even seems to be activated.

This core that she has never been able to integrate actually has a certain similarity with the power of hope. No…or maybe the two should cooperate with each other, so Athena released hope just to find this unmanufactured machine. The core of God?

Before the core’s activated magic power erupted, Ion immediately blocked the core to prevent the core’s power from leaking out. It really seemed like he had fused with something troublesome.

Even though Ion had blocked his power immediately, on Mount Olympus, the goddess wearing bronze armor suddenly raised her head, her eyes seemed to have traveled through time and space, and the power on her body There were even some fluctuations.

If he were not in his own palace, I am afraid that this fluctuation would attract the attention of the gods.

After such a long time, Athena originally had no hope, but she didn’t expect that the power she released actually activated that existence. No matter how the core exists now, at least it is not dead. It looks like a thing.

For Athena, this was the greatest comfort. Athena stood up and left directly from her temple, heading from Mount Olympus to the human world.

At the same time, after leaving the valley of Ion, in addition to temporarily losing the divinity of freezing to death and hunger, he also gained the power of hope. At the same time, it seemed that he began to activate the core that had been sleeping. It must belong to some god, but to whom?

Gods related to Athena…

The sea nymph Parnassus? No, that’s not right… That sea fairy can’t possibly have such power. Not to mention, will a fairy born as an elf have a core? Just being a sea elf shouldn’t give you hope.

“Found…the God of Ice and Snow?”

A heroic and cold voice sounded from behind, and the goddess who looked like a female warrior wearing armor stood not far from Ion, with a bit of thinking on her face and a bit of seriousness in her eyes.

Ion looked at the existence behind him that was obviously more powerful than the elves. It should be the existence of the goddess, and the expression on his face began to become serious. Is it the god on Mount Olympus? He actually came up to him directly, so he should have hidden his whereabouts.

Is there really something wrong with that [hope]? If you can sense the position of hope, then the goddess in front of you should be——

“Athena?”

“give me back!”

Looking at the question from the goddess in front of him, Ion did not answer. To be honest, although he had some guesses, the clues in his head were still a mess.

Athena stretched out her right hand, and the golden spear quickly condensed in her right hand. A huge shield half a person’s height appeared in her hand, and her body moved forward slightly in preparation for battle.

“God of Ice and Snow—Ionlus! Give Boros back to me!”
