417: Sealed evil thoughts

“pandora's box?”

The Great Xia Gods were unfamiliar with this name, but it didn't affect their judgment.

Although the stone box hadn't been opened, the evil and ominous aura contained within it made all the Deities feel danger.

The pandora's box, even in Olympus, was a forbidden existence.

All the Deities were unwilling to mention its existence, because this Divine Artifact carried all the dark sides of Olympus.

As a vast Divine Kingdom, the Olympus mythological system had distinct characteristics.

Unlike the Great Xia Gods, the Deities of Olympus were more “humanized,” but this humanization was not a positive term.

Almost all Olympian Gods possessed the dark emotions of humans.

Bloodlust, jealousy, hatred, malice, lust…

Many myths passed down in the Divine Kingdom had the power to redefine human values.

In the Early Stage of the Divine Kingdom's establishment, Deities having such distinct personalities did not cause any impact.

However, as the Divine Kingdom gradually expanded and the number of Deities increased, these negative emotions eventually exposed their drawbacks.

Under the influence of these dark desires, Olympus had experienced several riots in its history.

Deities from different factions began to slaughter each other; some Deities were killed, some were expelled, and some chose to flee.

For example, the Time God Kronos chose to wander the world, far from conflict.

For example, the Goddess of Night Nix, after being defeated in the war, was severely wounded, but by chance, she was taken in by the Mental Hospital of Gods and saved her life.

After experiencing many wars, Zeus also noticed this problem.

The drawbacks of allowing these Deities to have personalities were too obvious; if no measures were taken, the Divine Kingdom would fall into chaos again sooner or later.

So Zeus commanded Hephaestus, the God of Fire, to forge a Magic Box that could absorb and carry the negative emotions of the Deities.

Zeus named it pandora's box.

From the day pandora's box was forged, this stone box absorbed the evil thoughts of the Olympian Gods day and night without stopping.

Indeed, under the effect of pandora's box, Olympus gradually began to restore order.

But while making a contribution, pandora's box also became a ticking time bomb for Olympus.

According to Hephaestus, the God of Fire, the capacity of pandora's box was limited; if Zeus had not used his thunder Divine Power to suppress it, pandora's box would likely have exploded long ago.

And once pandora's box, which carried the evil thoughts of the Deities and the resentment of the rebellious Deities who died in battle, was opened, the Curse and malice nurtured within it would plunge Olympus into an abyss of eternal damnation.

But now, Zeus found a solution: since pandora's box would be opened sooner or later, as long as it was opened in another Divine Kingdom, wouldn't Olympus be fine?

Having other Divine Kingdoms bear the Curse from the Magic Box for Olympus was the best solution.

The moment Zeus saw the Biyou Palace and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation appear, he thought of this method.

“Not good, stop him quickly!”

In an instant, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation opened again, and the vast Sword Qi, like a long river, rushed towards Zeus!

Zeus directly tore open the Seal on pandora's box, then waved his large hand and threw pandora's box into the air.

Boom!

pandora's box directly crashed into the river of Sword Qi, and the ancient stone box shattered with a roar, releasing the Curse and evil thoughts contained within it.

Streams of black Qi detached from pandora's box.

After being imprisoned for countless years, these evil thoughts finally regained their freedom.

The thick, ink-like evil thoughts, after being shattered by the Sword Qi, reassembled again.

Those drops of black evil thoughts fell onto the ground and gradually expanded; they writhed like giant dewdrops.

Soon, one by one, the evil thought orbs began to grow limbs and heads.

They transformed into the likeness of Deities; soon, like Clones, a group of black Deities identical to those of Olympus appeared on the battlefield.

“Hehehe! We are finally out.”

“Huh?” A black giant identical to Ares looked at the heavily wounded Ares with a look of disdain.

“Big dummy, I told you long ago that war is dirty; if you don't learn schemes and tricks, how can you kill your opponent?”

That Ares's Evil Thought Clone had inherited the cunning and calculation within him.

The Olympian Gods watched their Evil Thought Clones descend upon the battlefield, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

If they had a choice, they would definitely want to completely destroy these evil thoughts.

However, now was a special time; since God King Zeus had already made his decision, they couldn't say anything more.

Among the many evil thought Deities, a huge black ball was still continuously expanding.

Facing the encirclement of the Great Xia Gods, these evil thought Deities unusually protected that huge black ball.

Zeus looked at the black ball, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.

Soon, the surface of the black ball began to gradually peel off, and a muscular figure emerged from within.

His left hand held a black scepter, and his face was identical to Zeus's.

He was Zeus's Evil Thought Clone.

The two looked at each other from afar, their eyes complex.

They both wanted to eliminate each other, but for now, they had a common enemy.

“Hmph! After we deal with these Great Xia Gods, I will settle this score with you properly!”

Evil Thought Zeus snorted coldly and shouted loudly, “My servants, follow me to judge these heretics before us!”

Grandmaster of Heaven pulled out the Qingping Sword in his hand and, without a word, charged directly into the battlefield.

Having activated the Zhu Xian Sword Formation twice in a row, the Biyou Palace now needed time to recover and recharge.

The Great Xia Gods each took out their Magic Treasure and, following the steps of the Grandmaster of Heaven, rushed into the battlefield.

This newly formed barren continent had now become the battlefield of the two Divine Kingdoms.

For a time, Magic Treasures soared, and Divine Power surged.

This sandy land was torn apart, and seawater began to pour in through the cracks, presenting a scene of doomsday catastrophe.

…

In the Yaochi Wonderland, Lin Qi Ye, Galan, and Cao Yuan passed through a series of palaces and arrived before an ancient, simple hall.

On the plaque of that hall were written two characters: “Dan Hall!”

Galan looked at the hall, her eyes suddenly turning red, and a tear dripped down her cheek onto the ground.

“Lady Queen Mother, I'm back!”

Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan had already learned about Galan's background on the way; they hadn't expected that this girl who emerged from an ancient coffin actually came from the Yaochi Wonderland.

As if sensing Galan's arrival, that long-sealed Dan Hall creaked and its doors automatically opened.
