Chapter 4: Issuma’s Fall
The knights returned to the kingdom of Issuma, dragging an old carriage, inside which was Pandora with two children hiding. Reading through the memories of the knights, the kingdom of Issuna was very prosperous and famous for its devotion to the gods, but Pandora felt something was wrong.
Because there are a few people here who are treated like trash, the nobles are free to do anything, to the slaves they are no different from pets. Pandora watched her arms grow and expand, she had to take deep breaths to stay as calm as possible. Baal and Agares were curious to look outside when she covered their eyes.
"You guys are young, don't look at those things" - Pandora
"Father, where are we going? Why are we entering the kingdom?" - Baal
"First we will infiltrate the kingdom, at night I will control these knights to disperse the pathogens, and you will free the people who are enslaved."- Pandora
"But Mother, will you destroy the bad guys by yourself? Or let us follow you?" - Agares
"Baal, Agares, listen carefully. You're too young to do these things, you're going to have childhood obsessions and that's not what I want to happen. Listen to me, please." - Pandora
"Yes, we get it, Mother/Father." - Baal and Agares
Pandora holds two children in her arms, these children are very innocent, she does not want them to go through pain and obsession because she herself in her previous life had to go through so much bitterness in her life.
As night fell, Pandora carried the two children out of the car and then held out her hand towards them.
"I give you the skills
The two children nodded and proceeded with the plan to rescue the slaves, while she went to disperse the pathogen throughout the kingdom.

"Go my servant. Spread the disease!" - Pandora
Following their master's words, the knights began to move out. Their bodies suddenly fell to their knees in front of the square, and one person approached to examine.
"Sir, are you ok?"
As soon as the person turned his body over, it floated up tiny eggs and then popped, the person jumped back in horror but his hands also floated those eggs. Then gradually spread throughout the body, the people standing around ran away in panic, some people also appeared with small eggs on their bodies, they were infected.
The city that had been normal in the morning was filled with laughter, but now it was filled with screams of despair. They trample each other to survive, they are ready to throw others to live.
The soldiers in the palace began to move at the signal, Pandora hid in the dark and walked calmly down the royal hall. This palace is everywhere inlaid with gold and silver, she wondered if the morning sun shines on, would she be blind because of the glare?
Walking around the palace, she found nothing but gold and silver treasures everywhere.

[Detected a large magic artifact nearby!]

Suddenly the message appeared in her head, Pandora's vision became night vision, she could see the magical power of the people present. Looking around, she saw something radiating terrible magical power in a room.
Pandora went to find that room, opened it was a library with a lot of books, she found the antique was placed behind a portrait of the king of this country. Her face was serious and she was dressed very royally, she pushed the photo, and behind it was a safe with random numbers.
'A childish puzzle, just rearrange. From 1 to 8, this is too easy.' - Pandora
As soon as the last number was placed, the safe opened, inside was a cube with a letter. She took out the cube and read the letter.
'The heart of the palace in the country of Narian, only worthy strength can see the palace'
As soon as she finished reading it, she put this in her pocket and continued to look for that king. She overheard dark and erotic sounds coming from a room not far away. Pandora glanced over and saw a man enjoying himself with beautiful young girls around, just seeing that scene was enough to understand that he was the king.
'It's disgusting, people like this make me throw up. Use power to oppress others. Always think of yourself as superior. I have to kill him...'
The notice board suddenly appeared causing Pandora to stop what she was about to do.

[Baal has acquired the skill
[Agares has acquired the skill
_
Pandora was surprised that the two children were able to create their own skills, in addition to the two skills she bestowed upon them which made her proud. But also somewhat worried for them, she looked at the target and left. For her, the children were the most important, like this she let out a puff of red smoke and it flew into the room inside. Just as Pandora left, a scream rang out in the room, a pool of blood gushing out from it.
As she ran and hid in the dark to outsmart the knights, her two children were in the basement of the palace where it might have been a prison for slaves. When she got there, she found the stone floor very slippery and viscous, a bloody smell permeated the basement and corpses were lying there. Going deeper, she saw two children holding knives in their hands, they turned their heads when they saw Pandora's presence. Their eyes were different from before, like those of a demon, but with fear in them.
"We're sorry…we're sorry" - Agares
"We didn't listen…we're sorry…" - Baal
At this moment, she realized that the corpses that had been killed earlier were caused by her two children. She rushed to hug the two children, they hugged her back and began to cry and beg.
"We're sorry...please don't leave us..." - Agares
"Shh… It's not your fault, you're just defending yourself. It's okay, I'm not angry." - Pandora
She was not angry with her two children, but she was angry with herself. She was very naive to think that everything would go well but she was wrong, it was she who created the obsession for the children.
