Their commission was suspicious.

In the worldview of the Moon World, this thing is the Holy Grail that surpasses the Holy Grail, and can be said to be one of the original wish-granting devices created by various gods of the Age of Gods.

However... in the parallel world, Pandora did not open the box, so once the box is opened, what will emerge first is endless calamity and despair.

Even in the age of gods, it was an existence that could be called despair. After thousands of years of accumulation, its terror was enough to overturn the world!

The Moon World is like this: despite their generally weak combat power, they are masters at manipulating concepts. In this world, there are only ultra-high-end combat forces and mid-to-low-end combat forces.

We didn't see many good things, but we did research a lot of things that could destroy the world.

Pandora's box can only be opened by Pandora as the key, but over thousands of years, the mechanism by which Pandora is the key has been destroyed.

Ainsworth's original idea was to open Pandora's Box with a Holy Grail, then use the hope inside to make a wish to save the world, and then close the box with another Holy Grail.

Coincidentally, besides the Holy Grail in Miyu's parallel world, there is also the Holy Grail in Illya's other world.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Although the outpouring of despair may lead to the widespread destruction of humanity, as long as a small portion of humanity survives, civilization will not be over.

From a magician's perspective, this is the right choice.

"Chew, and you know what, chew, this red bean paste (black mud) tastes pretty good, chew, it's quite potent!" Chen Luo said, holding the box and using a spoon made from raw stone to savor the despair and calamity inside.

So when Pandora saw Abby return to the parallel world and mingle with the group that came to thank Chen Luo for his help, and Pandora, who was there to settle scores with Chen Luo, was terrified when she saw Chen Luo's behavior.

"Oh, you've arrived."

"What...what are you holding in your arms?"

"Your box? You don't recognize it anymore?" Chen Luo looked at Pandora with a puzzled expression.

"Then, what are you doing?"

"To dispel despair. Isn't that my job as someone who responds to prayers?" Chen Luo was even more puzzled.

Isn't this common sense?

"What kind of common sense is this? In the Age of Gods, this would be called despair, and it's a calamity that has been brewing in Pandora's box for over 6000 years. You just eat it like that? You have pretty good teeth." Even Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, who were relatively familiar with Chen Luo, looked rather uncomfortable.

Although the two of them knew that Chen Luo was even colluding with Genyuan, the impact of this scene was still too great.

“You don’t understand, do you? Hope is always born from despair. Just as there is no concept of darkness without light, how can there be a concept of hope without despair?” Chen Luo shook his finger.

Hope is also a wish.

Or, to put it another way, anything related to obsession or ideas falls into the category of desires.

Hope is always good, but wishes are neither good nor bad.

Even the wishes of wicked people are still wishes.

Since hope is a good wish, then despair and calamity are bad wishes!

You can eat it if you wish!

Could this calamity and despair be harder than a rough stone?

"So you eat calamity and despair as your food?"

"It's because I painstakingly prepared a huge feast for lunch, but before I could even take a couple of bites, my mom kicked me into the void to grant wishes to everyone in the endless planes. By the time I finished fulfilling my wishes, lunch was long over," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"What kind of good person would fill their stomach with calamity and despair when they are hungry?"

"Me? Am I not a good person?" Chen Luo pointed to himself.

"This... is undeniable." After exchanging glances, the group couldn't help but nod.

How can you say a professional savior isn't a good person?

"So how does it taste?" Ilya asked curiously.

"Would you like to try some? Don't worry, no one will get hurt in a bar. It might just be a little bit of a shock to your taste buds," Chen Luo said.

"No, no need." Ilya quickly shook her head.

That sounds pretty scary.

"Little Black, do you want some? Just one bite and you'll never have to worry about replenishing your mana again," Chen Luo asked Chloe.

Chen Luo had met Xiao Hei a while ago. At that time, Xiao Hei was very disobedient, but after being ridiculed by Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, and with the loving education from Mrs. Irisviel, he became much more obedient.

In truth, Chen Luo gradually came to understand why some cultivators believed that the older the cultivation method, the better...

You can tell by looking at the Masters' aptitudes in the 4th and 5th Holy Grail Wars.

Any Master you randomly picked from the Fourth Holy Grail War could easily dominate the Fifth Holy Grail War... except for Ryunosuke, that serial killer.

But Ryunosuke's record shouldn't be bad either.

Of course, the actual force that determines all of this is not high; the main factor is mindset.

There were too many underhanded tactics used in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"No need. I replenish mana for survival and for fun. This looks like if I eat one bite, I'll probably have to say goodbye to Ilya forever." Little Black shook his head frantically.

Don't think that just because I'm being blunt or have darker skin, I'm some kind of corrupted Illya.

Besides, at most I'll just become a bit eccentric. Even if a Heroic Spirit ate this, it would have to return to the Hall of Heroes on the spot, right?

Well, it could also be a complete reversal.

“No wonder you’re unwilling to use soul materialization…” Chen Luo glanced at Xiao Hei.

So it turns out that replenishing mana isn't just a part of life, it's also a hobby.

Tsk tsk.

You said, but I won't say who it is?

"Manager, you'd better not eat this." Miyu hesitated for a moment before asking with concern.

"Don't worry, this thing is, in a sense, one of my signature weapons. If I were heartless, I could easily spread these calamities and despairs somewhere, and when everyone is yearning to be saved, I could just pop up and reap a huge harvest of Primogems... Of course, I won't do that. But sometimes you have to fight evil with evil, and that's when my signature weapon will come in handy," Chen Luo said.

The world of Black Bullet is actually quite child's play. The empire in the world of Akame ga Kill! is barely passable. For a world with truly overwhelming evil attributes, Pandora's Box is just the right choice.

“That’s my box,” Pandora… Erica Ainsworth said.

“It’s mine now. Didn’t you give it to me voluntarily to thank me for helping you fulfill your wish?” Chen Luo said, holding the box.

"But you didn't say you would end my life and then resurrect me!"

"So, do you want to die now? Do you need me to help you one more time?" Chen Luo retorted.

“…Tch.” Erika turned her face away unhappily.

Thanks to Chen Luo's granting of her the wish, Erika no longer wants to die.

However, Chen Luo did add legs after drawing the snake, which went against his original intention.

You can't win an argument with them, and you can't win a fight with them.

I'm even more annoyed now.

"Hmm, her personality has become much more lively too." Chen Luo looked at Erika with surprise.

In a sense, Erika's personality before regaining her memories is what Pandora should have been like under normal circumstances: afraid of loneliness, longing for friends, and saying one thing but meaning another...

After regaining her memories, Pandora was left with only indifference and a misanthropic mood stemming from living too long.

It's much better now; at least they know they're unhappy with certain people.

Although this person was Chen Luo, Chen Luo was very disappointed.

My dear child, didn't I grant you a wish once?

For Chen Luo to be unhappy with the clay doll Erika despite having so many buffs against dolls, it actually requires a certain level of skill.

"I want you to take care of it?"

"What you're saying... I'm a puppeteer, isn't it normal for me to care about the mental health of every puppet?"

"???"

"And once I've enhanced this item, I can't give it back to you," Chen Luo said, holding Pandora's Box.

Oh no, it can no longer be called Pandora's Box.

It should be called the Despair Box.

Chen Luo completed Pandora's request, and Pandora gave Chen Luo a Pandora's Box. The request reward also included a Magic Box. The two were combined to create the Magic Box we know today.

It can infinitely produce the types of despair recorded in the magic box, turning them into curses that erode the world!

Greed, hypocrisy, slander, pain, jealousy... all the evils of the world are contained within it.

Moreover, Chen Luo unexpectedly discovered that even the two abstract disasters of collapse and reproduction could be recorded in it.

The former is what causes the collapse phenomenon; the stronger the civilization, the more severe the collapse becomes, making it a true artifact against civilization.

The latter pollutes all concepts, turning all life and even machines that are born into swarms of insects!

Chen Luo suspected that anything that could cause disaster, such as destruction, abundance, or gluttony, could be recorded in it.

Chen Luo needs to give it a try later.

[Pandora's Box of Despair and Calamity]: Sow despair, reap hope.

These simple eight words set the basic functional tone for this box.

Once despair and calamity are unleashed upon the earth, the different kinds of calamity and despair will adapt to the characteristics of the world and then spread at the fastest speed!

However, to record such a calamity into the Despair Box, either a large enough sample or a sufficiently precious sample is required.

The Honkai uses a large number of Honkai Beasts, plus some cloned Herrscher cores... If it develops like this, it's hard to say what kind of Herrscher variants will be created if the Honkai energy is spread to other civilizations in the future.

Breeding, however, is of even greater importance.

Chen Luo threw the Propagation Star God directly in. The Propagation Star God wasn't completely swallowed, but it was weakened before being released.

If Chen Luo hadn't released it, it wouldn't have been able to escape on its own, which shows that the potential of this Despair Box, combined with the commission reward, is extremely high.

"We came here specifically to thank you... What are you doing?" After everyone finished catching up, Shirou Emiya, who was visiting the bar for the first time, slowly spoke, but he only managed to say half a sentence before he saw a strange scene.

In the bar, Chen Luo actually used a black gold coin to summon a monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. Then, he grabbed the monster by the neck and stuffed it into a Despair Box, which was only the size of a normal gift box, in his arms.

“Oh, I’m adding more calamity elements to this Chen Luo’s magic box. It’s a calamity from another world called the Antimatter Legion,” Chen Luo said.

The Calamity Box, the size of a normal gift, easily absorbed the monster, which was about two people tall, without even reaching saturation.

"You've even changed your name now?" Erika was speechless.

"Are you planning to add even more seasonings to your already ridiculously extensive recipe?" Rin Tohsaka asked.

“No, what I’m eating is calamity and despair in a conceptual sense. Calamities like these materialized beings are stored in another space… Of course, I really don’t intend to continue eating them,” Chen Luo said.

"Modify calamity?"

“That’s right. Now that it’s in my hands and has been modified, Chen Luo’s Magic Box can collect, cultivate, and manipulate calamities. Moreover, it can make the calamities that fall to the earth adapt to the characteristics of the world and develop even more terrifying power,” Chen Luo said.

"..." Shirou Emiya glanced at his sister with some concern.

Emiya Shirou was indeed very happy that Chen Luo was able to rescue him, and he learned from his sister and her friend that Chen Luo was actually a good person. However, Chen Luo's current remarks were indeed worrying.

"It doesn't sound like a proper statement," said Ilya, who was quite familiar with Chen Luo.

“This is indeed an unorthodox method.” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

“Theoretically, I could create calamities to get people to ask for help, and then reap their rewards, but that doesn’t suit my personality. I create these calamities only for unforeseen circumstances. After all, as a performance artist once said, to punish a treacherous official, you have to be more treacherous than the official! So to deal with an evil person, you have to be more evil than the evil person,” Chen Luo continued.

"That sounds reasonable... but not much. In short, it's best to be cautious about using things that are too terrifying," Ilya said.

"A scary thing? This thing is too scary, but can it be as scary as me?" Chen Luo curled his lip.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing was useful, Chen Luo would have demonstrated how to eat the magic box right there and then!

"Hmm... As expected, one antimatter legion isn't enough, and the higher the quality of the materials sacrificed, the higher the initial level of the curse and calamity will be when they are unleashed upon the earth..." Chen Luo frowned as he stared at the magic box.

After hesitating for two seconds, Chen Luo inserted a heart.

“What…is that?” Pandora’s teeth were chattering.

When that heart appears in the bar, even with the safety mode activated, it still makes your heart race, your breathing quicken, and your body stiffen.

It seems that a great terror is contained within his heart.

“Oh, the heart of Nanuk, the god of destruction. A loot I just acquired today,” Chen Luo explained.

After killing the Destruction Star God, Chen Luo obtained a lot of raw stones and some loot.
