Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

He was referring to Joan of Arc.

Just then, Nao Hayasaka, who had overheard their conversation, came over: "Jeanne Darke refers to Joan of Arc."

"Hey?"

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment: "After Huo Tian descended from heaven to become human, he turned into Joan of Arc?"

Indeed, Joan of Arc was burned to death.

"its not right."

Gu Yun said, "Isn't Joan of Arc a positive character? I remember she was called a saint, right?"

Why would a girl known as a saint let a demon from hell escape?

This is unreasonable.

“Joan of Arc is her identity after she descended from heaven to become human,” Hayasaka Nao said, looking at Asakura Yoh. “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Asakura is referring to her identity when she was still a god.”

"Yes, Ms. Hayasaka is right."

Yoh Asakura smiled and nodded: "She transformed into Joan of Arc and used this identity to save a country. Finally, before being consumed by flames, she broke through the spiritual constraints and became one of the Twelve Heavens."

"And before that, she was the embodiment of calamity."

“The sinner who releases filth and misfortune,” Yoh Asakura said in a deep voice, “Pandora.”

Chapter 211 The Vessels of the Gods

"and many more!"

Gu Yun asked in surprise, "Is Pandora a god too?"

Pandora comes from Greek mythology and belongs to the Greek pantheon.

According to Greek mythology, Pandora was not a goddess, but a human being, the first woman created by the Greek gods.

Prometheus stole fire, which angered Zeus.

To counteract the immense benefits that fire brought to humankind, Zeus decided to bring disaster upon humanity as well.

He commanded Hephaestus, the god of fire and blacksmithing, to mix water and earth to create a lovely woman in the image of a goddess, and then commanded Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, to sprinkle her with a fragrance that would drive men mad.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom and crafts, dressed her up, adorned her with a headband and a pearl necklace, making her as beautiful as a bride.

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the gift of language.

Each of the Greek gods gave Pandora a gift, including Zeus, who gave her curiosity and a sealed box filled with all the misfortunes of the world, such as evil, disaster, and plague.

Finally, Pandora's curiosity led her to open Pandora's Box, unleashing the calamities within and bringing boundless disaster to humanity.

"She may not be a god, but she is the most unique being in the Greek pantheon."

Yoh Asakura said, "She absorbed the power of the Greek gods before she was even born. Do you know what that means, young man?"

"She was born with the ability to merge the divine power of the Greek gods; she was the perfect vessel."

Gu Yun instantly realized Pandora's special nature: "You mean, she can acquire the divine status of the Greek gods after their fall!"

The Greek pantheon was quite powerful, but Hiruko-gami specifically targeted these powerful pantheons.

This is why Greece experienced Ragnarok early on, and now only a few cats and dogs remain.

"Pandora can contain the power of the Greek gods. Whenever a god falls, his divine essence is absorbed by Pandora."

Pandora may have been weak at first, but with the fall of the Greek pantheon, she was joined by countless powerful deities, including even powerful ones like Gaia and Zeus.

Before she even descended to earth as a human, she already possessed a spiritual level of over 80, making her a true creator god-level being.

"Unfortunately, even with such power, Pandora still cannot change her true nature."

Pandora is the source of calamity, and her power means that the power of calamity is amplified infinitely.

However, Pandora herself was just an innocent victim of the gods' schemes; even if she became a god, she was not an evil god.

"Pandora was imprisoned by the Greek pantheon until the Mongol Empire launched a war, breaking the order of the old gods, and she regained her freedom."

Pandora had little ambition; she didn't even want to take revenge on the gods.

She felt guilty for opening the Pandora's Box out of curiosity, even though it was a conspiracy by the gods against humanity.

"Her descent from heaven to become human was the most dangerous of the twelve heavens."

Pandora did not descend from the heavens for one person, but for a group of people.

Using the number of divine attributes she possessed as a unit, she split her own soul, and over nearly a hundred years, she was reincarnated as many European girls.

"Not just Joan of Arc?"

"Joan of Arc is her core, occupying most of Pandora's self-awareness."

Yoh Asakura explained, "As for the other individuals, they experienced a nightmarish era."

"The Dark Ages?"

Gu Yun immediately realized: "Her reincarnation was a witch? And the manner of death was fire?"

Seeing Asakura Yoh nod, Gu Yun could only say that Pandora was not destined to die, as she had actually encountered such a thing.

Of course, this is a bit too much of a coincidence.

All the reincarnated fragments were burned to death as witches, and with the addition of Joan of Arc, a heroine of considerable stature, Pandora's consciousness was finally awakened, thus creating the Twelve Heavens.

However, there are other ways for a witch to die, such as by fire. The fire form is the result of being judged and identified as a witch.

But in the process of determining whether the woman was a witch, countless people died by drowning and other means.

Gu Yun didn't believe that all of Pandora's reincarnations died from fire, and that no one was manipulating things behind the scenes.

"Because Joan of Arc has the largest proportion, the current Fire Sky is more like Joan of Arc with Pandora's power than Pandora."

Joan of Arc, though known as a saint in Western legends, was essentially a village girl.

In this respect, Joan of Arc and Pandora are not much different.

Pandora lived in an ancient era when humans communicated with the gods. Civilization was primitive at that time, so it's easy to imagine how much knowledge she could have.

Afterwards, Pandora was imprisoned by the gods for thousands of years. As soon as she gained her freedom, she began her journey to descend to earth as a human.

In the dark Middle Ages, there was another group of pitiful girls who were labeled as witches.

What they all had in common was that they hadn't read many books, and they all seemed rather dim-witted.

Joan of Arc was intelligent, but she was also not well-educated.

It is well-known that Joan of Arc was illiterate.

In conclusion, the current Fire Goddess inherits Joan of Arc's personality, so in terms of allegiance, she is not an evil god, but a benevolent one.

However, at the same time, all the reincarnated beings, including the gods who were the origin, were a group of uneducated village girls.

This resulted in Huo Tian having certain deficiencies in his knowledge and cognitive abilities, in addition to his impeccable combat prowess.

"so…"

Based on Asakura Yoh's description, Gu Yun sketched out the specific image and temperament of this Twelve Days in his mind: "She's a silly girl who isn't very smart, but has a strong sense of sacrifice?"

"..."

Yoh Asakura dared not speak ill of Twelve Heavens behind his back, but he couldn't help but nod: "I can actually understand why Katen released the sinners in the Avici Hell."

In order to fight against Hiruko-gami, all available power must be fully utilized.

To put it bluntly, even if the future world is a wasteland, it's still better than the destruction of the whole world, right?

If villains like Muzan Kibutsuji were to rule, the future might be bleak, but demons are also part of the world.

Pandora opened the box; she is the mother of all misfortune in the world.

"She opened Pandora's box in the past, and now she has opened the Abyss."

Kibutsuji Muzan was a disaster, but he was also a spur, allowing Gu Yun and others to be tempered.

"You really can't blame her."

Yoh Asakura said, "The past and present lives of Kaga are three cycles: Pandora, the witch, and Joan of Arc."

In his first life, he was plotted against by the gods; in his second life, he was tormented by the world; and in his third life, he was betrayed by his own country and compatriots.

If we're talking about the most tragic event of the twelve days, Huo Tian would be second to none.

Even Gu Yun couldn't help but complain, "It's already quite remarkable that she can restrain herself from taking revenge on the world."

If it were Gu Yun, he would have turned this shitty world upside down long ago.

Leave Chapter 212 to us.

"Huo Tian probably did this because of me."

Gu Yun secretly guessed that Huo Tian's behavior was largely due to the appearance of a person with perfect spiritual qualities.

And since she chose to be the villain, she was naturally prepared to atone with her death.

Pandora, the witches, Joan of Arc—none of these people were afraid of death.

Fire is not afraid of death, nor does it care about suffering; this is almost a standard feature of every twelve-day period.

These martial gods have their own beliefs.

Just like a seeker of the Way, if one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening.

For the Twelve Heavenly Kings, as long as their long-cherished wish can be fulfilled, good and evil, life and death, are not important.

So, Gu Yun had no good way to deal with such a stubborn person.

She might very well wish to eliminate Huo Tian.

For witches like Pandora, death was a kind of liberation.

"I need to tell Suzuka-neechan."

Gu Yun didn't need to get involved in the trouble Huo Tian caused, but the release of a group of death row inmates would inevitably bring great trouble to the world sooner or later.

How could human strength withstand their calamities?
