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 I'm 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, I'm 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 I'm furious with this useless woman who didn't 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 didn't do her part.

"I know what you're thinking, Pandora, but I couldn't help. I was quite busy..." she says, and I notice the other two aren't here. Again... For some reason, ever since Pandora Yandere appeared, she's been keeping the other two away from me.

"Where's 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, wasn't 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 didn't the black sludge clothes open their eyes?!" I say, frustrated.

"She's busy right now..." She gives this lousy excuse that doesn't fly. What else could they possibly be busy with in here? They don't need to train, do activities, eat, or even have anyone to talk to besides themselves, so there's no such thing as being 'busy.'

"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 isn't trying to eat you yet... She seems more interested in something else. And I didn't want you to come in here either. I was busy..."

'Suspicious...' I never fully trust Pandora Yandere. She's not trustworthy. She's 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. She's 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 she's defying Pandora Yandere's authority. For Tiny Pandora, who's a coward, to decide to do this means the matter is serious.

(Q-Quick! P-Pandora, you need to know!!! Sh-She's 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.

"!!?"

"She's fine, Pandora. That doesn't kill her; it just disables her for a few hours before she comes back. In here, it's our consciousness. You can't really be killed just because of that," she says, but I sense something is wrong.

"Why didn't 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? She's part of my harem, and I'll just... educate her later..."

"Liar." She's 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... you're 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 don't 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 I'm 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 wouldn't even need to be free; just existing in here would be enough.

"Hmmm, of course not. I don't want to take your place... Look, it seems it's time to wake up? It's been a few hours since you passed out from the spider girl's venom. Now go! You need to survive, don't you? Don't waste time here talking!" She starts trying to force me out, and I feel my mind wavering here inside.

"Hey!! Don't kick me out of here! This conversation isn't over! HEY, BITCH, I SAID..." Before I can finish, I'm expelled from MY OWN Sea of Consciousness, showing just how little control I have over what's in my mind.

...

...

...

(A-Ah...) Tiny Pandora lets out a pained sound as I throw her against the wall of her "room." She's 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-You're trying to devour P-Pandora Monster... y-you can't... 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 Pandora's suspicion of me.

"You bitch, so you've 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?" I'm genuinely irritated.

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

(P-Pandora... s-saved me... s-she could have killed me... b-but she wanted to k-keep me... I-I can't let y-you deceive her) she says in that tearful tone.

"Tsk, if you weren't such a cowardly, idiotic rat who just hides, I would have devoured you already." I can't go after her. I can't 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 didn't care because she didn't understand the intent.

But now this bitch is reacting because she judges what I'm 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, it's not like you can stop me. The only one who can is Pandora, and look—she can barely stay in here if I don't allow it."

"95% of her mind already belongs to me, and when I complete it, she won't 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 couldn't let Pandora wandering in the Sea of Consciousness, or she might see things she shouldn't. 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 don't have access to.

"Just because I can't enter that 5% doesn't mean she's safe. Someday I will reach 100%, and there will be no safe place for her anymore. You've only delayed the inevitable." If that damn Pandora hadn't come in here, I would have managed to consume Pandora Monster.

"Now, you little slut, get ready. I'm going to take out all my anger and frustration on you. Since Pandora Monster isn't here to help you, while she remains hidden, I'm going to torture you painfully. I have many toys to test. Let's see how much you can take!!" I smile maliciously. I'll be patient and wait for the right moment.
