Chapter 493: 0,4%
"P-Please!! P-Please don’t devour Monster Pandora!!" Tiny Pandora cries out, throwing herself in front of me and clinging to my leg as she breaks down in tears. I see Monster Pandora in the only 0.5% of free space left.
She’s curled up, her movements erratic. She hasn’t recovered from what I did to her all those years ago. Unfortunately, I only recently managed to get this close to her. The last corners of the Sea of Consciousness were strangely difficult to conquer.
"Let go, you stupid brat." I shake my leg, flinging Tiny Pandora far away. I’ve already conquered 99.5% of the Sea of Consciousness. So now I’ve found Yandere Pandora. Although she’s recovered quite a bit since our last encounter, her wounds are still visible.
[Y-You damned...] she says, glaring at me. The hole in her chest is still there, dripping that black fluid. The wound I gave her before she was saved by Tiny Pandora and by Pandora—who, because she entered here, I had to stop what I was doing to... welcome.
"You look pathetic like this," I say, approaching the only area free of my influence in the Sea of Consciousness—a white space that clashes with the entire environment I’ve shrouded in darkness.
"You think hiding in this little corner will save you? Pandora can’t enter here unless I allow it. She won’t come to save you like Tiny Pandora hopes will happen. And this time, nothing will stop me from devouring her."
[The only pathetic one here is you, you coward. You only hurt me because you attacked me like a coward.] Her body contorts violently into that black slime that forms her body whenever her expression turns enraged.
"Hahaha, coward? We’re monsters. You should know I don’t play fair, you pathetic little bitch. Now, why don’t you come over here so we can finish this? Staying in this tiny patch of empty space won’t save you for more than a few days. So how about you just surrender to me? I promise to devour you in a delightfully gentle way." I approach the edge, pushing my finger inside.
’Yes, I grow weaker and lose all control inside that area... It doesn’t matter. Soon, even this last bit of free space will be mine, and I’ll have 100% of the Sea of Consciousness in my hands.’
[You parasite! You’re just a shitty mental parasite trying to bite off more than you can chew! This mind belongs to Pandora, not to you!] When she says that, I snarl in rage.
"This mind belongs to me too! I was here before her! I am the being created by the Goddess of the Abyss, and both you and she know that!! Pandora is just the soul that keeps us alive and gives us intellect superior to mere animals."
"I don’t deny her importance, but I am not a parasite, you fucking bitch. I am the body. And both you and that useless little bitch, Tiny Pandora, shouldn’t even have existed."
"If Pandora weren’t so pathetic and didn’t have so many emotional problems, you two would never have been born, and it would have remained just the two of us forever. Don’t forget who came first."
"I was here before you. You pathetic whore are the parasite here. You stole one of my functions. You think you’re special because you control the monster form of the body? But that was MINE! YOU STOLE IT FROM ME!" This bitch stole what was my function.
Before them, I had much more control. The body and our true form were my functions, while Pandora represented only the mind. But then this slimy little slut appeared and stole part of what I originally represented.
[...]
"I’m just reclaiming the part that was taken from me. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re special. You’re just a failed fragment of Pandora who needed to steal part of me to exist. And now I’m just taking back what is and always was mine."
[Taking what’s yours?! Pandora’s mind was never yours, you fucking disgrace!! You’re the one overstepping your bounds! I hope you die when Pandora finds out what you’re doing here...!!!] Her space shrinks, making her body writhe and cower in fear as the border closes in.
"0.4% remaining. No matter what you say, soon you’ll disappear from here. I can see your fear. Pretend to be as brave as you want. You’re afraid of me, and soon you’ll have even more reasons for that fear." I move closer to her, the darkness slowly devouring her tiny safe area.
"Tick tock, bitch. Trying to shrink and curl up in there won’t work. You have little time left." I smile at her—a wide, victorious smile. Pandora won’t be able to save her from me.
(P-Please stop!!) Tiny Pandora jumps onto my back, trying to do something, but I just peel her off with my hand, holding her in front of me.
"You pathetic little slut, trying to rebel against me?" I slam her to the ground hard. The entire Sea of Consciousness trembles with the power I’ve gained since I began expanding my domain.
She tries to crawl away, but I stomp hard on her belly, making her cry out in pain as I grind my foot down forcefully.
"Don’t forget, bitch. The only reason you’re not devoured is because I can’t yet. But that doesn’t mean I can’t hurt you. So you’d better behave. After all, I have thousands of sexual tortures I can use to torment you."
(P-Pandora w-won’t l-like it... p-please, th-think of Pandora!!)
"Pandora doesn’t matter. Did you forget that Pandora surrendered to me? Voluntarily, in exchange for greater control over the body, she let me have control over her in here." That’s the real reason Pandora can’t force her way in here.
Because she gave me control over her. It wasn’t just sexual control. Unintentionally, she gave me control over whether she can enter the Sea of Consciousness when she decided to join my "harem" in here.
"Your precious protector is just another whore who must obey me in here. She’s the one who wanted this—this deal in exchange for more power. Besides, she’ll also reap the benefits."
"Once I devour Monster Pandora, I’ll regain the original control I had. And with that, Pandora will have much more precise and efficient manipulation of our partial and complete forms."
"Most of our instability is your fault. With Pandora’s talent and my control, we should have already achieved perfect mastery of our true form. But because of you, our true form is just a giant, clumsy slime covered in magical power."
"Four of us here is already more than necessary. We don’t need so many divisions. Pandora for the outside, me for the inside, and you for emotion and survival instinct. Doesn’t that sound perfect? Why do we need that?" I say, pointing at Monster Pandora, who cowers in the safe space, fear in her eyes.
(B-But sh-she’s Pandora too! P-Please don’t devour her! Sh-She’s my friend! A-) Before she finishes, I stomp on her face.
"Shhh. I don’t need to hear that nonsense. Friend? Are you kidding me? There’s no such shit as friendship in here. There are only functions to be performed, understand, stupid brat?"
"And soon, that bitch’s functions over there are going to be ’switched off.’ Hahahahaha!" I laugh, already imagining that sweet future where I’ll be whole again, with even more control over Pandora.
"And you, brat, won’t be able to tell Pandora about my plans. Remember this well—I’m always watching." Everything in the Sea of Consciousness within my domain doesn’t escape my field of vision.
"Besides, the more you resist, the worse it gets. Ever since we started this little game of cat and mouse, Pandora has lost our help. Without us, she can’t get mana control support or control over our true form."
"Do you really want to keep fighting me? The longer we take here, the longer Pandora will go without anyone performing those functions, and soon she’ll be in real danger." When I say this, Tiny Pandora trembles in fear.
"Ah, you realize the danger now? Maybe she’ll even die. And if she dies, we all die too. All because you two are delaying me as much as you can. If it weren’t for you, brat, Pandora might not have had to let herself become an incubator for spider eggs." I grab her by the neck.
"If you hadn’t moved the wounded Monster Pandora to the safe area, I would have devoured her already, and Pandora wouldn’t be without our help. Do you like that? Are you happy? You’re the reason Pandora is having difficulties." When she hears this, she panics and cowers.
I drop her to the ground, and immediately she sinks into it, disappearing like she always does when things get too tough. After all, it’s in her nature to look for a "box" to hide in when things get a little tight.
"Run all you want. It’s not like I don’t know where you’re hiding." I turn back to the safe area, seeing Monster Pandora staring at me, baring her teeth.
"0.4%. Very little, huh? I’m patient. Let’s see how long this tiny percentage can protect you." I won’t enter that area without my power. I’ll be patient and wait as long as it takes, even if it’s the hardest area for me to dominate.
