Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Pandora glanced at Ciel and said, "You can ask Doom, Melnadette, and De...Sif about this matter."

"You...? You don't need me to contact him specifically."

Almost all Pandorans are not interested in the interests and experiments of their father, the only Creator.

After all, in the beginning, when the One and Only Creator had not yet developed this bad habit, or even if he was addicted to experiments, he was not as addicted as he is now, she was very favored.

But when the sole creator became obsessed with experiments, she became like an adopted daughter.

Therefore, almost all Pandorans do not care about the experiments of the One Creator, and do not even want to care or understand them.

If it was someone important to her, like Mernade, Sif, Nia (the goddess of the sea), or Lady Doom, she would probably endure the discomfort and ask her father. But Ciel...

Although the other party maintains close contact with many of her friends, to Pandora he is just a possible partner for her friends.

And he's a potential partner who's a scumbag from beginning to end.

It is absolutely impossible to "call" your father specifically to ask for him.

After all...Although Pandora missed her father a little, she definitely didn't miss the father who always made perfunctory remarks to her.

"That's a bit too direct." Charles felt helpless about Pandora's attitude.

"Misfortune, Mernadette, they like you. But to be honest, I don't like you very much." "You should know the reason yourself." Pandora looked at Charles and said calmly.

"You're definitely different from the Pandora before..." Charles was referring to "Little Love." After learning about his relationship with Mernadette and Doom, the other person's behavior was completely different from the one before him...

Chapter 305: Shortcut, Changes in the Main World

"Xiao Ai..."

"She is only giving you convenience because of the request from the original body."

"But she and I are friends..."

Pandora's calm gaze made Ciel's body stiffen a little.

He smiled awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.

"But this kind of thing...is not something I can interfere with."

"Although we are friends, I am just an outsider compared to you."

"So all I can do is ask you to give her true happiness."

Ciel nodded seriously.

But after a moment, his expression became somewhat dejected. "I want to give her true happiness, but now I don't know where she is. Even the time and memories we spent with her are only fragments."

"I can't judge whether her actions were right or wrong, and I can't help you with that."

"However...with the power currently developing within you, it will be very easy to regain your past."

The corner of Charles' mouth twitched.

If ordinary gods and true gods intervened to rewrite the past, it would be very easy for Charles to find back the past that truly belonged to her.

But this matter... definitely shows signs of the Night Goddess's involvement.

After all, if it were any other true god, they would have noticed something was wrong the moment they ascended, and would have slowly traced the gaps and overlapping memories in their body and soul. Then everything would have quickly become clear.

And now...

He was unaware of this covered-up past when he was promoted, and he couldn't think of anyone else who could do this except the Goddess of Night.

"Don't underestimate yourself. The power in your body is very strong. I vaguely sense an aura similar to that of the Five Gods." Pandora looked at Charles.

"If you can use your own strength to make up for the missing parts of your body, perhaps you can now master the same power as they once had."

Even the knowledgeable Pandora found Ciel's current condition incredible.

After all, the power brought by the sequence has its limits.

But in Ciel's body, the limit brought by this power exceeds the energy contained in the sequence itself.

At the same time, he is different from Melnadée and the others. Because they represent the world itself, they have obtained power beyond that of ordinary Sequence 1, and therefore have an inseparable connection with the world.

But there is no such connection in Charles now.

That strange power that surpassed ordinary people seemed to be born from within him, not from anywhere else.

"Am I so strong now?" Charles was a little surprised.

After all, in his imagination, when promoted to Sequence 2, he could at most obtain power comparable to some true gods. Even being able to kill a Sequence 2 subordinate god at Sequence 3 like before would be difficult to do.

After all, the difference between a true god and a subordinate god is like heaven and earth.

Even if the power brought by one's own uniqueness is extremely mysterious and powerful, it can only be on par with the difference between heaven and earth. It is still a little short of surpassing it.

But now... Pandora's evaluation made him feel a little happy - had he become so powerful without realizing it?

"When you replenish the energy missing in your body, you will gain the power they originally possessed." Pandora looked at Charles and said calmly.

The power initially obtained refers to the power of the five gods when they just became gods.

Extraordinary people can advance by absorbing magic energy, but the speed is as slow as a snail.

But generally speaking, everyone has some simple understanding of strength - in the same sequence, those who enter first are generally stronger than those who enter later.

This strength lies in the fact that those who take the lead make skillful use of their own strength. In the process of moving forward, they constantly tap into and absorb external forces to enhance their own strength.

Simply put, the person who first enters this realm has a higher magic power limit and combat skill level than those who come later.

Of course, this law only applies to ordinary extraordinary people. Extraordinary people like geniuses are excluded.

Charles couldn't calculate how long it had been since the five gods became gods.

However, tens of thousands of years, or even more than a hundred thousand years is possible.

During this period of time, their power is definitely not comparable to when they just became gods a long time ago.

However, even when they just became true gods, their strength was still very powerful compared to ordinary true gods.

The fact that he, a Sequence 2, could obtain such power far exceeded Ciel's own psychological expectations.

However, when he thought about his previous actions in the City of Gluttony, which only made up for the Sequence 3 and the "deficit" in his body before, he had already consumed the accumulation of Pandora for tens of thousands of years.

To replenish the energy I need now... this is an astronomical figure...

"Is there a shortcut like the one before?" Charles looked at Pandora with an expectant look.

Pandora's mouth twitched, and then she said calmly, "None of my other powers can really help you."

“You always want to take shortcuts, but you can see the end of the road ahead.”

"So don't try to cut corners."

Charles nodded. He was just asking... As for whether to choose the "shortcut", it depends on how the "shortcut" itself moves forward.

"But... there is indeed a shortcut to this matter." After admonishing Charles, Pandora said in a subtle tone.

"What?" Charles looked at Pandora with a strange expression.

I just told myself not to take shortcuts, but now I'm...

"It's not really a shortcut, it's just that authority increases the speed of gaining power."

Pandora ignored Ciel's doubts and spoke directly.

"For example, the reason Xiao Ai allowed you to take everything from her was, in a way, part of her plan."

"But in her plan, she intended to let you experience it first, and then give you everything she has."

Simply put, at the beginning, the Pandora plan representing love was simple and crude.

When Charles, Perozzi and Theresa arrive at her territory, she will use the power of love to awaken their feelings for each other.

Then use the power of lust to make them do...something.

Finally, lend your power to Charles.

However, Charles' sudden promotion forced her to change her plans.

Eventually, it evolved into what it is now - although from a certain perspective, the current situation of Ciel and them is not much different from Pandora's plan.

"You should be able to sense her authority."

"Although I don't know the principle, or even how she found this strange direction."

“But she succeeded.”

“She found the power of love.”

"This power can help you quickly make up for your shortcomings."

"In terms of speed, it is many times faster than your own accumulation."

"The deeper the relationship between you and them, the more you like them, and the more they like you, the faster this will happen."

Charles's expression was a little subtle.

This description always makes me feel like it's a bit like double...what's that?

Why do I feel like it's a bit vulgar to do this?

But soon, Charles put aside other thoughts in his mind and thought of something.

There was a smile on his face.

Pandora looked at him with some helplessness.

really...

Bad luck, the guy you chose really doesn't deserve this.

Man...

"This is the safest and most harmless shortcut we can think of."

"In exchange, you must give us the greed in your body."

Pandora suddenly said this.

"Greed? You mean the curse?" asked Charles.

The other party nodded and said, "Generally speaking, we are the ones who absorb similar curses that fall."

"Little Greed will absorb the curse within your body to increase its own strength. When that strength becomes too great, the Five Gods will transform it into new extraordinary qualities to enhance the foundation of this world."

"But Greedy hasn't woken up yet, so some things can't be done."

"And the power in you may be able to help her revive."

Charles nodded, then stretched out his hand, and a light yellow aura slowly condensed in his hand.

At Sequence 3, facing this curse, he tried his best but still couldn't completely eliminate the impact of the curse. Even the people around him did some other things because of this curse.

But after the sequence was promoted, the curse that was originally like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins now became as obedient as a doll and could only allow him to rub it.

"Originally, I wanted to transform this power into extraordinary characteristics, but since you need it, I'll leave it to you."

Pandora nodded, then took the Greed Curse handed to her by Ciel.

"Originally, your itinerary was supposed to include the Land of Greed. When you reach that point, the curse in your body will attract Greed to revive."

"But given your personalities, something bad might happen, so I've canceled this itinerary."

Ciel scratched his head. "Actually, as long as I don't target the people around me, my personality is pretty good."

He thought that Pandora in front of him was talking about his previous battle with Xiao Ai.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Xiao Tan."

"She is a child even more willful than Xiao Ai."

"Perhaps it's a side effect of her power. She wants to possess everything she thinks she needs."

"Perhaps there she will have another conflict with you because of her willfulness."

"It wouldn't be a big deal if I had one or two more people to accompany me in the Valley of Existence, but it's different with you."

Pandora looked at Ciel, "The power over love and lust can be given to you, but not greed."

"After all, compared to Xiao Ai, greed is more destructive and can also have an irreversible impact on a person's character, especially for someone like you who is inherently greedy."
