Chapter 756: Other Futures!
[Warning!! This Chapter is told from the perspective of a Pandora from another timeline!! Its purpose is to show some of the "bad futures" Pandora could have ended up with!! Throughout the story, Pandora came dangerously close to dying or made terrible decisions more than once!! This shows just how much even the smallest of those choices can change everything in the story!]
"Wait, wait, wait — who the hell are you?" Yandere Pandora, Tiny Pandora, and Monster Pandora are all gathered together, confused as they stare at me.
"Hellooo!! I’m Pandora!!"
"No! No! No! You are not Pandora!!" Yandere Pandora says as she steps closer to me.
"I remember very clearly that Pandora devoured me, and you’re physically different — look at those huge tits!! That massive ass, your size!! You’re bigger than me!!! Your whole physique looks like some lascivious bitch who oozes sexuality from every inch of her body." Yandere Pandora speaks to me in a very cold, even offensive tone.
"Ahhh!! That hurts my feelings. Well, well, well, I guess I should introduce myself!! I’m the strongest Death Reaper of them all!! The Death Goddess Pandora!! From another timeline! Your Pandora kind of messed with my work a little, so I’m resorting to a new form of entertainment."
"W-What do you mean?" Tiny Pandora shrank behind Monster Pandora, scared of me.
"Omnipotent Pandora erased my universe, but she left me alive, so now I wander to other universes to meet other versions of myself!! I never imagined that the main branch of my existence became omnipotent!! Who would’ve thought, right?"
"By the way, I’m the Pandora born from the timeline where Pandora killed Delphina!! That timeline came from the decision not to play with Delphina in the bathtub!! I kind of killed her. I never really liked her, so... yeah..."
"Who would’ve thought — the first sexual interaction we had with Delphina, the one that made her fall in love with us, was a relevant event for our lives. We ended up not having any agreements, and I got so pissed off at Delphina’s shitty attitude that as soon as I had the strength, I killed her in my timeline! I can hardly believe there are timelines where we married that stupid fish. Wow! I must have really terrible taste," I say mockingly to the three of them.
"Speaking of which, since you’re aspects of the Original Pandora — the one from the main timeline — I wanted to ask you a few things! Oh, right, you’re dead. You’re just projections! This is one of my powers!!" When I say that, they seem shaken.
"...Why do you think we’ll tell you anything you want to know?" Yandere Pandora speaks defiantly while Monster Pandora moves as if she wants to protect Tiny Pandora.
"Out of the kindness of your hearts? Of course, I could also just torture you for my entertainment!! Hehehe."
"You really are Pandora? You act so bizarrely," Monster Pandora says while I smile at her.
"Without the romance with Delphina, I went through terrible things in the abyss. I ended up going a little insane, since the Pandoras who have Delphina use her help for all kinds of things involving magic."
"I spent... A BILLION YEARS BEING A FUCKING SEX SLAVE!!" I scream furiously just remembering that I spent so long trapped with that tentacle-covered whore in the abyss. Apparently, Omnipotent Pandora only went through a few millennia as a sex slave because she managed to create an element from scratch — a really powerful one — with what she knew.
"Hahahaha!! It’s insane, I was way too unlucky!! So I suggest you don’t irritate me. I’m not remotely stable and super volatile. By the way, I have a dream!!" I flash them a big smile.
"I want to become absolute death!!!"
"Omnipotent Pandora said I have that potential! She’s incredible, isn’t she?"
"I think I fell in love with her," I say dreamily while the three of them stay quiet.
"...You’re really crazy."
"I said that myself!! Monster Pandora, you don’t need to tell me I’m crazy! I am, and I totally agree!" I agree with her — my mind is not in the best state.
"Now let’s get to what matters! First question!!! Yandere Pandora!! Why did you try to steal Pandora’s place? She was so good at what she did. What were your motivations for your machiavellian plans?"
"...You’re more annoying than the original Pandora... whatever, I’m already dead anyway... I just thought I could be the Pandora she never was... Pandora seemed... stupid to me, too... focused on trivial things..."
"Oh!! I see, I see — romance, family, and then there was all that trouble in the abyss!! Though you would’ve been a terrible replacement!! Your motivations are almost shallow, but considering you were forced to live inside that sea of consciousness, it kind of makes sense. Everyone wants freedom."
"Hey Tiny Pandora, you were Pandora’s most human side. Why weren’t you born first? Why was Monster Pandora born first, in a way?"
"..." Tiny Pandora looks at Monster Pandora, and then I understand, seeing the attitude between the two of them.
"Ohh!! I get it!! Oh, me!! How did we never realize this before!! Tiny Pandora is a counterpart to Monster Pandora!! That’s why the two of them are always so close!! They represent the same thing, just separated by purpose!!" Monster Pandora slaps her hand against her forehead.
"Yeah... Pandora didn’t know that. It wasn’t necessary. What do you want with this?" Monster Pandora steps forward, speaking just as coldly to me.
’So the reason Yandere Pandora’s plans failed was because Yandere Pandora ended up losing Tiny Pandora. If Yandere Pandora had first covered Tiny Pandora and then Monster Pandora, the Pandora from the original timeline would have lost to Yandere Pandora...’ That’s fascinating.
"Nothing, just fun!! You know, I dream of becoming absolute death, as I mentioned before! As the Death Goddess, I want the power to kill everything!! Death always stands above all else!!! The Pandora from the original time branch is the Goddess of the Apocalypse — we’re quite different but connected!"
"She’s destined to bring the end of everything and the beginning of something new!! As for me, I’m destined to bring the end of all life. Even the way we kill goddesses is different!! I devoured Elysia’s entrails while she was still alive. I trapped her in a torture machine and used her as food for a long time before finally killing her!!"
"So seeing the history of other timelines is entertaining to me. Plus, I’m learning new things!! Omnipotent Pandora unified all her versions as divergent points!! Do you know what that means?"
"All Pandoras that exist are connected and are, in an ontological sense, the same being! Knowing that, I decided to enjoy life in the most entertaining way possible — visit other versions of myself and see what they made of their lives!!"
"Now let’s talk more!!! I have so many questions!! By the way... thank you all!! You helped Omnipotent Pandora grow. You were burdens, but you also gave her the openings she needed!! I would love to have you. In my timeline, you disappeared because my brain was completely destroyed for a very long time before I adapted and started remembering everything."
"Besides, it’s good for you to learn something!! Mnemosyne destroyed the future of many different Pandoras. That woman was one of the events that wrecked our futures the most!!" I say to them, and they’re surprised, since they still existed back in that time.
"..."
"Silence? Then I’ll keep talking!!"
"The abyss killed us many times, made us its plaything many times, and shattered the dreams of so many of our versions!! It even makes me a little depressed knowing I’m just a variant of the Original Pandora! Like, Pandora Prime over here!! And she became omnipotent — she reached an enviable peak!! What a powerhouse!!" I decide to go back to my questions. I’m straying from what matters.
"I have hundreds of questions for you! I hope for lots of peaceful cooperation! Wait... oh no!! I monopolized the conversation!! Sorry, I talk too much — it’s a bad habit!!! Go ahead! I’ll stay quiet and listen!!"
