Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 663 Two Sides
Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, and another brother of the Titan Atlas.

Although compared to his two relatives, this god of hindsight has never had much of a presence in the world.

Even more so than his wife Pandora, Hercules was certainly aware of her.

But as Ender said, Epimetheus was not his brother, and the great hero had never had any dealings with him.

The two are not entirely unrelated, but they have virtually no connection.

So Heracles nodded slightly and slowly retreated, preparing to bypass the area where the opponent's aura was located.

The power Hera exerted through the [Invisibility Helmet] had not yet dissipated, and the Queen of Heaven would not be stingy with such a small matter in order to ensure his smooth entry into the Abyss.

Just moments later, as the great hero was about to leave the hillside, Ander's voice suddenly rang out again.

"Wait... let's stop first."

"how?"

"Because it's unnecessary..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should have already discovered your existence..."

The sound went straight into his brain, and the puppet's mouth opened and closed silently.

Hercules could not detect any emotional fluctuation in the other person's words.

But after traveling together for a long time, the great hero still sensed Ander's doubt and seriousness at this moment.

Logically speaking, with the power of the [Invisibility Helmet], ordinary people shouldn't have noticed his whereabouts.

But the fact is, they did indeed do it.

"Get ready, they're up to no good..."

With a heightened sense of vigilance, Ander's expression became solemn.

He didn't know what the latecomer was there for, but at this moment, he had already prepared for the worst.

……

"Tell me... what exactly is he here for?"

"How should I know? I've never cared about these things."

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do... Isn't that enough?"

"..."

At the same time, around the same time that Andre discovered Epimetheus.

The valley, filled with rubble and potholes, is dotted with dilapidated and broken walls and ruins.

His face was expressionless, and his expression was blank.

Beneath her long, red and purple dress, Pandora felt the rough texture of her feet.

Beneath the earth, a deep wound lingers, a scar that has yet to heal.

Looking around, like other sites from the Golden Age, there is no trace of anyone ever living here.

Obviously, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, even buildings made of stone will inevitably weather.

Moreover, in the natural disaster of the collapse of the sacred mountain, there was no place that could be safely preserved.

“Epimetheus…do you know him?”

"It's said that this place wasn't always like this."

"It was once a place of birdsong and fragrant flowers, full of life, the midpoint of this world, a paradise at the foot of the sacred mountain."

"As for why it has become like this, it is simply because of a battle between the God King and the Earth Mother... and this time, she is still the complete loser."

"Compared to her imposing presence in front of me, she was much more pathetic than I had imagined."

The sound was slow, but Pandora's steps did not stop.

Walking on this desolate land, she felt the pain of this land.

In a daze, she seemed to transform into the earth that had collapsed and caved in during the clash of great divine forces millions of years ago, feeling the sensation of being crushed by human beings and unable to find relief.

However, Pandora did not react to this; in fact, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Compared to the constant mental torment, external pain could bring her some comfort.

Over time, Pandora couldn't help but grow to like this feeling.

Bringing disaster and bearing disaster are both things she wants to do... only the former comes from Perseus's 'corpse,' while the latter comes from the soul she assimilated with.

“Pandora, I should have told you before, you don’t need to express your dissatisfaction in these pointless places… even if she’s not here.”

"Moreover, although I am a witness to that era, I cannot see the hidden pain in this land, nor do I know her true state at that time."

“But even if what you see is real, you cannot resist her power.” Following behind Pandora, his eyes twitched slightly.

Epimetheus repeated his warning once again, but he could tell that the woman did not take it to heart.

She's becoming increasingly disobedient... After all, their current statuses are essentially the same.

Without changing his expression, the person who realized what was happening brought the topic back to itself.

"Speaking of which, Pandora... did you sense any other auras on that human chosen one?"

"He seems a bit strange right now... Aren't you curious about that?"

"of course not."

Pandora answered calmly, speaking softly.

"As for other auras... who knows?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no, but that has nothing to do with me."

"If you want to know, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Pandora's breath hitched, and behind her, Epimetheus was helpless.

Not long ago, the two, who were still on their ocean journey, came to this place at Gaia's request.

Through the latter's aura, Pandora was able to sense and absorb the scars that this land had suffered.

Those who realized this later wondered if the Earth Mother's high regard for them stemmed from this very reason.

She was undergoing a different kind of healing, trying to remove the price paid during the change of eras... But after thinking about it carefully, he quickly rejected the idea.

After all, Pandora's mission has never been limited to the earth, and with her current abilities, she cannot bear all the power lying dormant beneath the remains of the sacred mountain.

In his view, what the other party was doing at that moment was more symbolic than practical.

In any case, Gaia's request interrupted his long-cherished thoughts—he had considered contacting Hercules and his party as early as when he saw them on the sea, especially the guy named Dionysus.

There is no time or leisure, nor is it as teeming with life as the sea, and it is far from the domain of the Earth Mother's authority.

When Epimetheus returned to Earth, he knew that his plans could come to an end.

To his surprise, fate had other plans, and he encountered that mortal burdened with destiny again here.

"Fine... if you don't want to get involved, then let's not get involved."

"Follow the Earth Mother's command, and prioritize your needs in everything."

"Apart from that, everything else is trivial."

With a smile on his face and no sign of anger, Epimetheus quickly caught up with Pandora ahead.

Trying to pique someone's interest with words and then achieve your own goals... that kind of thing is becoming less and less effective.

Going there personally and leaving Pandora here temporarily... it's obvious that that's absolutely not an option.

Although Gaia is not here for the time being, the latecomers cannot be sure that she did not leave any means to restrict their movements. Perhaps the fact that the two cannot go too far is one of them.

The other party clearly did not want to reveal her recent whereabouts, so their control over her was inevitable.

Pandora might not care, but he would.

"Not only the true body, but also the clones cannot leave... If it were other gods, there might really be no way."

“Fortunately, I am different. I am not only the god of hindsight, but also the son of Iapetus and the brother of Prometheus.”

"We have created many lives together... and humankind is just the most famous of them all."

“In the past, I never thought I would need them one day.”

"But just because I don't want to doesn't mean I can't."

He remained motionless, still following Pandora's side.

Epimetheus felt a slight stirring in his heart, and following some special connection, he sensed some faint specks of light.

Those were some animals near the sacred mountain ruins that were related to him... After sensing for a moment, he finally chose one of them.

"This is it, a big tortoise that has lived for a very long time."

"And right in front of that human was a great river..."

With a flicker of his eyes, Epimetheus made a silent decision and no longer hesitated.

Although he is still unsure of what Gaia is planning to do.

But no matter how you look at it, he couldn't find a reason to stay here obediently and work hard for the other party.
