The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss

Chapter 481: Pandora Yandere and Her Secret Plans

”...Ugh...” I wake up looking around and immediately realize Iʼm inside the Sea of Consciousness—the black sludge here is unmistakable, after all—though I feel humiliated for losing so easily.

I try to move, but as usual, Iʼm stuck to the ground, though this time I seem to be fixed even more firmly to the floor, which just adds to the humiliation of losing so easily to an opponent over ten times more powerful than me.

”Pandora Yandere?” I see her staring at me. She has a strange look in her eyes while Iʼm furious with this useless woman who didnʼt help me stabilize my magic during the fight!

If she had stabilized my magic, which was leaking from the wound on my arm, I could have blown up the cavern area and escaped through the shadows, but she didnʼt do her part.

”I know what youʼre thinking, Pandora, but I couldnʼt help. I was quite busy...” she says, and I notice the other two arenʼt here. Again... For some reason, ever since Pandora Yandere appeared, sheʼs been keeping the other two away from me.

”Whereʼs Pandora Monster? And Tiny Pandora? Normally, Pandora Monster would be here being sarcastic and aggressive while insulting me for losing, and Tiny Pandora would be worried,” I ask, wanting to see them.

”Besides, wasnʼt it Pandora Monster who was supposed to handle my True Form and Partial Form? If during the fight she had turned my shoulder into black sludge, it would have stopped the mana loss. And why the hell didnʼt the black sludge clothes open their eyes?!” I say, frustrated.

”Sheʼs busy right now...” She gives this lousy excuse that doesnʼt fly. What else could they possibly be busy with in here? They donʼt need to train, do activities, eat, or even have anyone to talk to besides themselves, so thereʼs no such thing as being ʼbusy.ʼ

”Busy, busy! What is more important than my life?! Right now, my body is poisoned, unconscious, and immobile out there! And I could be turned into a meal!” I say furiously.

”Actually, no. At least not at the moment. That spider girl isnʼt trying to eat you yet... She seems more interested in something else. And I didnʼt want you to come in here either. I was busy...”

ʼSuspicious...ʼ I never fully trust Pandora Yandere. Sheʼs not trustworthy. Sheʼs someone who does very suspicious things here inside my head.

Besides the strange personal autonomy she has, the fact that she has so much control in here makes her almost as free as I am. She dominates almost everything in here while I dominate almost everything on the outside. So, to a certain extent, the two of us are balanced.

”You...”

(P-Pandora!! H-Help!!) I see Tiny Pandora emerging from the ground and running toward me, her voice anxious, scared, and hurried as she interrupts me. Sheʼs crying, but before she reaches me, Pandora Yandere grabs her by the neck, physically preventing her from coming to me.

Tiny Pandora struggles rapidly, looking at me with a disturbing fear in her eyes, as if she knows something terrible she has to tell me—to the point where sheʼs defying Pandora Yandereʼs authority. For Tiny Pandora, whoʼs a coward, to decide to do this means the matter is serious.

(Q-Quick! P-Pandora, you need to know!!! Sh-Sheʼs trying to..) Before she can say anything, Pandora Yandere crushes her head, exploding it violently. Black liquid splatters on the ground as she releases the body, which falls into the liquid and disappears.

”!!?”

”Sheʼs fine, Pandora. That doesnʼt kill her; it just disables her for a few hours before she comes back. In here, itʼs our consciousness. You canʼt really be killed just because of that,” she says, but I sense something is wrong.

”Why didnʼt you let her speak? What are you hiding from me? She seemed worried. If something is happening in here, I need to know!” I fire questions at her, looking at her severely.

”...I was just punishing her for interrupting! Nothing is happening in here!! Hahaha, you know how I am, right? Sheʼs part of my harem, and Iʼll just... educate her later...”

”Liar.” Sheʼs lying. Besides, if Tiny Pandora, who was sexually trained by Pandora Yandere, tried to warn me about something, it means that something is bad and affects the entire Sea of Consciousness.

”Pandora Yandere, why are you trying to have so much autonomy? You... youʼre not trying to steal my place, are you?” I say seriously, forcing myself to stand up. My defeat against the spider girl was very suspicious.

I lost all the useful functions they were supposed to take care of. I was left on my own, which resulted in me becoming weaker than I should have been.

And the only way for that to happen would be in two cases: either all three of them purposely stopped helping, leaving me to deal with all the magic-related functions alone... or the three were unable to help me because they were doing something that required their total focus.

”What? Of course not! Where did you get such a crazy idea? I need you, Pandora. I would never replace you...”

”No. You just need me to exist, but you donʼt need me to be active,” I interrupt her. If I become unconscious, one of the Pandoras can take over the body. That happened when Grimm knocked me out, and Pandora Monster took over, making it clear that Iʼm not really required to be out there in control.

If I get trapped inside the Sea of Consciousness, Pandora Yandere could take over the body. And I wouldnʼt even need to be free; just existing in here would be enough.

”Hmmm, of course not. I donʼt want to take your place... Look, it seems itʼs time to wake up? Itʼs been a few hours since you passed out from the spider girlʼs venom. Now go! You need to survive, donʼt you? Donʼt waste time here talking!” She starts trying to force me out, and I feel my mind wavering here inside.

”Hey!! Donʼt kick me out of here! This conversation isnʼt over! HEY, BITCH, I SAID...” Before I can finish, Iʼm expelled from MY OWN Sea of Consciousness, showing just how little control I have over whatʼs in my mind.

...

...

...

(A-Ah...) Tiny Pandora lets out a pained sound as I throw her against the wall of her ”room.” Sheʼs crying.

”Hey, slut, who said you could show up and talk shit to Pandora? I told you to stay quiet in your place... SAY SOMETHING, BITCH!” I kick her hard, making her spit out a black goo. She looks at me with tears.

(Y-Youʼre trying to devour P-Pandora Monster... y-you canʼt... P-Pandora w-would never accept that) she says through her tears, displaying an annoying courage.

(Gyaaah) She screams as I start kicking her violently, stomping on her brutally while I think about how to torture this little slut who talked too much and increased Pandoraʼs suspicion of me.

”You bitch, so youʼve finally decided to have some courage? What makes you think you can challenge me, you little slut? Huh? Do you think telling the truth to Pandora is more rewarding than obeying me?” Iʼm genuinely irritated.

Because of her, Iʼve delayed everything, and now Pandora is even more suspicious of me. She never trusted me much, but she accepted what I said because Iʼm useful. But with this little bitch talking too much, Pandoraʼs suspicion grows.

(P-Pandora... s-saved me... s-she could have killed me... b-but she wanted to k-keep me... I-I canʼt let y-you deceive her) she says in that tearful tone.

”Tsk, if you werenʼt such a cowardly, idiotic rat who just hides, I would have devoured you already.” I canʼt go after her. I canʼt consume Tiny Pandora. The reason is that Tiny Pandora has a stronger mental connection with Pandora, while Pandora Monster has a stronger mental connection with me.

So instead of consuming her, I started breaking her with extreme sexual torture, leaving her trapped on sex toys for days and days. When Pandora saw this, she didnʼt care because she didnʼt understand the intent.

But now this bitch is reacting because she judges what Iʼm doing is negative for Pandora. The only thing stopping her from telling Pandora the truth is her own cowardice.

”Never speak to Pandora about this again, and stop interrupting me... Besides, itʼs not like you can stop me. The only one who can is Pandora, and look—she can barely stay in here if I donʼt allow it.”

”95% of her mind already belongs to me, and when I complete it, she wonʼt have any control over the inside anymore... Besides, I saw what you did. Do you think hiding Pandora Monster inside the remaining 5% will save her?” When Pandora passed out from the monster girl, I had to stop everything to come check on Pandora.

I couldnʼt let Pandora wandering in the Sea of Consciousness, or she might see things she shouldnʼt. So when I came to see her quickly, I ended up leaving Pandora Monster unprotected, and this little bitch, Tiny Pandora, took Pandora Monster and hid her in the area I donʼt have access to.

”Just because I canʼt enter that 5% doesnʼt mean sheʼs safe. Someday I will reach 100%, and there will be no safe place for her anymore. Youʼve only delayed the inevitable.” If that damn Pandora hadnʼt come in here, I would have managed to consume Pandora Monster.

”Now, you little slut, get ready. Iʼm going to take out all my anger and frustration on you. Since Pandora Monster isnʼt here to help you, while she remains hidden, Iʼm going to torture you painfully. I have many toys to test. Letʼs see how much you can take!!” I smile maliciously. Iʼll be patient and wait for the right moment.
