I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 92
#92. Pandora’s Box (2)
Prometheus was confused.
Pandora.
What kind of being is she?
The primordial woman who was born as a human yet immortal and like the gods.
Wasn’t she an unfortunate woman who was born blessed with talent and beauty from all the gods, but caused a terrible disaster due to her murderous curiosity?
And personally, she was a woman whom Prometheus himself had a passionate crush on.
[How could you know the woman who existed in the beginning...]
Prometheus looked Damdeok up and down with eyes full of suspicion, but Damdeok did not blink.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know about Pandora’s box? “It is a story that has already spread widely in the outside world like a traditional fairy tale.”
Baekgureum, who was next to me, also yawned and agreed.
“Haam, that’s right. To be honest, it’s not that widespread, it’s a very bone broth story. “I know this because I hate studying.”
Prometheus seemed in disbelief.
[The story of Pandora is widespread...? What happened while I was tied up...]
Damdeok was truly puzzled by Prometheus’ attitude.
‘Why don’t you know? Has no one talked about Pandora’s Box for thousands of years?’
But the question was soon resolved.
When Damdeok told the story about Pandora’s box, Prometheus suddenly cursed in anger, muttering the name of his brother Epimetheus.
‘Hmm, I heard that Pandora married her younger brother Epimetheus...’
Although the story was not specifically told, I could roughly guess why it was like that.
‘Because there is love even in the world of gods.’
Although it is not known in mythology, Prometheus actually had a secret crush on Pandora.
However, his younger brother Epimetheus married her even though he knew about it, and when the tragedy known as Pandora’s box occurred, he was worried that he would be held responsible and locked her in the basement of the house. Then, she hid her story from Prometheus the whole time.
Although Damdeok did not know the details of the story, he was able to intuitively sense that love was intertwined.
‘It smells like something unpleasant... but that’s not what’s important right now.’
When Prometheus let out all his anger and calmed down a little, Damdeok asked carefully.
“Do you know any of the prophecies related to Pandora?”
At that moment, Prometheus’ expression became subtle.
An expression that knows something.
Damdeok did not miss that momentary change.
“If you know anything, please tell me.”
[...Are you also holding on because of the prophecy?]
Prometheus’ voice was devoid of any strength.
He was tied to a cliff alone for a long time and endured the extreme pain of having his liver eaten raw.
He, who had silently endured that terrible pain, was falling apart.
In the tragic story of the woman he was in love with...
Damdeok seemed to know how Prometheus felt.
That’s why I answered with sincerity.
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to hear the prophecy. “But I was sincere in wanting to be with you so you wouldn’t be cold.”
[...You speak well.]
Prometheus looked up at the sky blankly.
It was heartbreaking to imagine how many times Pandora must have been pointed at.
Snowflakes fall silently from the sky.
Prometheus’ mouth moved slowly as he looked at the falling snowflakes.
Damdeok just nodded his head quietly.

“Please sign here to receive your salary. Yes, it’s confirmed. At our post office, teleportation is not available after the part-time job ends. Everyone must go home on their own~ The exit door is over there~”
Bang bang! The staff member frantically stamped the stamp and half-heartedly pointed towards the entrance.
Damdeok, who had just finished signing autographs, was holding a heavy golden shopping bag in his hands.
‘Getting the wings was simpler than I thought.’
Although the process of delivering the mail was cumbersome and difficult, thanks to meeting Prometheus at the end, I was able to open the memories of my 1002nd past life and hear the prophecy of the world, so it was a tremendous achievement.
‘I think we need to think about the contents of the prophecy a little more, but...’
Damdeok recalled the words Prometheus said a moment ago.
“Pandora is not the ‘woman’ of mythology.”
“Pandora’s box, which will bring true disaster, has not yet been opened.”
“Find Pandora. If you find her, you will gain the strength to face the world.”
‘Pandora is not a woman of myth...’
In other words, the woman whom Prometheus loved was not the true Pandora.
‘The mythical Pandora’s box is also fake.’
Thanks to you, I know one thing for sure.
‘Pandora is absolutely necessary to kill .’
“Because the Amam executive just needs to finish his work~”
“Besides, the walls of the cave here won’t break thanks to Hermes’ blessing?”
“It’s perfect for playing around with guys like you. “Kkkkkk.”
Damdeok finally nodded, as if relieved, at the words of the guys who were snickering and warming up.
“It’s okay.”
“what?”
“No matter what I do, the executives won’t intervene and the cave walls won’t break.”
Baekseol, who was hiding behind Damdeok’s back, came out.
– will!
“Then thank you to me.”
Grumble!
The flickering black flames that instantly surrounded the pure white sword body growled menacingly as if they would engulf the surroundings at any moment.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The enormous heat emanating from the sword instantly covered the room.
Not only the executives who were stamping the seal, but also the gods who were glancing behind the scenes were looking at Damdeok with surprised eyes.
Needless to say, there were bully gods right in front of me.
“What is it?”
“Suddenly there’s a spark...!”
Baekgureum just giggled and jeered as if this situation was just fun.
Damdeok tilted his head crookedly.
“Are you really surprised by this?”
Damn it!
Pure white ice covered Damdeok’s left arm like armor.
“Should I give it a try?”
Damdeok’s appearance, with flames wrapped around his right sword like a black dragon and his entire left arm covered with ice like a heavenly shield, was definitely not at a level that ordinary low-class gods working at a post office could handle.
“Uuuh....”
“Uh....”
Damdeok slowly approached the guys who were hesitatingly backing away.
I honestly have no intention of fighting.
Bullying the weak is something only vulgar people do.
‘Let’s just scare them.’
Let it crawl on its own.
It was a once again surprising moment that I now had the power to overwhelm my opponent without having to fight directly.
Damdeok raised one corner of his mouth and exploded the black flame attribute mana surrounding the sword.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!!
The flame grew bigger and opened its mouth towards them like a dragon ascending to heaven.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The faces of the bullies turned from pale blue to completely white.
Damdeok decided to scare the trembling guys by trapping them in a pillar of fire.
If all directions were blocked by black flames, you might be so scared that you would get sick of it.
Damdeok grinned and swung his sword.
“It’s retribution.”
The executive, who had been agitated the whole time, jumped up and screams erupted from all over.
That was when Damdeok’s black black dragon advanced fiercely towards them.
Sigh!
The black flame that was burning fiercely in the pile of dirt that fell out of nowhere was extinguished.
“...What is this?”
Damdeok looked at the girl in front of him with a bewildered expression.
It was a girl with straight silver hair who looked as innocent as a noblewoman.
‘He looks younger than White Cloud....’
Why did this child suddenly throw dirt on him?
Damdeok looked at her with a very unhappy face.
“What are you?”
The girl answered with an expressionless face.
“Elia.”
“By the way, did someone ask your name? Why did you suddenly interrupt me?...”
Damdeok’s mouth froze.
‘Wait, you’re Elia?’
A part-time job window quickly popped up.
[ of Gorgon Island; Strategy party!]
Employer: Elia
....
The name of the girl in front of me was written there.
