Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

He wore a slightly worn dark robe and exuded an aura of violence that lingered around him. Every move he made carried a chilling sense of oppression.

As soon as Sirius appeared, he keenly sensed the strong witch factor aura emanating from Grimm.

In particular, the powerful force that could distort space and manipulate reality made her subconsciously take a few steps back.

But the love for laziness in his heart completely overwhelmed his instinctive fear of illusory power.

She trembled all over, her shrill scream shattering the tranquility of the flower field, her body beneath the bandages convulsing violently with rage.

"It's you...it's you! It's you! You locked my lover inside that cold mirror! Ah! I'll kill you! Kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, Sirius unleashed a powerful surge of furious energy.

She shot towards Green like an arrow released from a bow, her murderous intent reckless, her fury causing chaos in the air around her.

Suddenly, Betty immediately protected Emilia and retreated. Garfield instantly assumed a fighting stance, and Father Simon and Otto's expressions changed drastically as they were about to intervene.

But Green moved even faster, his eyes were cold, and his body remained motionless.

Just as Sirius rushed forward, his right hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her neck with precision and ruthlessness.

With a slight effort, Green pressed her down to the spot, preventing her from taking another step forward no matter how much she struggled.

Sirius was being choked, his face flushed red, yet he continued to twist his body wildly, his roars becoming hoarse, and the hatred in his eyes undiminished.

Green lowered his eyes, looking calmly at the struggling, angry bishop before him, his gaze unwavering.

He then turned his head to the side and gently kicked Pandora, who was slumped not far away, already powerless and dazed.

"Hey, little white-haired guy, stop spacing out."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of command.

"Take off the glass slipper and put it on her."

Pandora slowly raised her head. Her face, which usually carried a calm smile and seemed to control everything, was now pale and weak.

Her once bright eyes were now blank; having lost all her illusory powers, she no longer had the confidence to resist.

She stared blankly at Green, then at Sirius, who was struggling frantically as he gripped her neck.

After a moment of silence, she finally obediently lifted her foot, her slender fingers trembling slightly, and gently removed the crystal shoe from her foot.

Pandora supported herself on the ground, slowly got up, and walked step by step to Sirius. With slow but obedient movements, she bent down and placed the crystal shoe in her hand on Sirius's foot.

A strange scene unfolded once again, this crystal shoe possessing the power to imprison and extract.

The moment it touched Sirius's foot, it emitted a faint, ethereal light again, automatically conforming to the shape of her foot and shrinking to completely envelop her foot.

The next second, a piercing energy hum suddenly rang out, and pale golden decorative patterns spread along the crystal shoe, instantly enveloping Sirius's entire leg.

Sirius, who had been struggling and screaming wildly, suddenly froze, his eyes filled with a powerful sense of detachment.

She could clearly feel the angry witch factor that had been dormant within her for many years was now running wildly and uncontrollably, being forcibly pulled away and peeled off by the powerful force emanating from the crystal shoe.

Dark red energy of anger transformed into fine streams of light, flowing continuously from the point of contact between her soles and the crystal shoes.

Following the invisible energy link between the crystal shoe and Green, it rapidly traveled into Green's body.

Green lowered his eyes slightly, feeling the violent, pure witch factor filled with endless rage surge into his body, merging with the previously absorbed illusory power, making his aura even more magnificent and profound.

His expression was calm, and a faint golden-red halo emanated from his body, easily suppressing and assimilating the violent anger, bringing it all under his control.

Sirius's power was rapidly dissipating at a visible rate, his violent aura was quickly dissipating, and his struggling movements gradually weakened.

Her once scarlet eyes lost their luster, and she collapsed as if all her strength had left her, but the power of the crystal shoe held her firmly in place.

Pandora stood aside, watching this scene quietly, her pale face expressionless.

Having lost her powers, she couldn't even express a trace of emotion at this moment, and could only stand obediently in place, letting everything happen as it would.

Sirius collapsed to the ground, all her strength gone, leaving only the illusory light of the crystal shoe shimmering on her ankle, like the heaviest shackles.

In the sea of ​​flowers, only the gentle breeze and swaying petals remain.

After a long while, Pandora, who had been standing silently, pale and lost in thought, finally slowly raised her eyelids.

Her gaze passed over Sirius and landed on Green, her eyes, devoid of any pretense of light, revealing a hint of inquiry and indifference.

"Mr. Green," she spoke softly, her voice piercing the tranquility of the flower field, "what exactly is your purpose?"

She leaned forward slightly, her figure appearing exceptionally slender beneath the bandages, and her tone carried a subtle, almost imperceptible chill:

"Could it be... to carve out a habitat for those strange creatures from before?"

"Those guys will not be recognized by the will of the world." Pandora's voice was low and indifferent, as if stating an inevitable ending.

"If we force them in..."

"Sooner or later, it will cause the world to collapse."

Her words revealed both her adherence to the laws of the world and her bewilderment at Green's behavior.

Upon hearing this, Green turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Pandora's pale face.

He paused for a moment, then replied in an annoyed tone:

"What are you talking about? If someone overhears you, they'll think I'm the villain."

Upon hearing this, Green turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Pandora's pale face.

He paused for a moment, then replied in an annoyed tone:

"What are you talking about? If someone overhears you, they'll think I'm the villain."

"For a handsome, dashing, mysterious, and powerful man like me, creating a new world would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

Pandora stared at him intently, her voice still carrying a hint of stubbornness, even after losing all her powers, and spoke softly but firmly:

"Your actions will indeed disrupt the balance of the world and cause irreparable damage to it; this is an undeniable fact."

These words thoroughly provoked Green's displeasure. His aura darkened slightly, and he stared sharply at Pandora.

He recounted her sins in a stern voice, word by word, his tone full of undisguised rebuke.

"Harm the world? You're the only bad guy here, aren't you?"

"How many people died because you instigated the demi-human war? How many died because you guided the Witch Cult to do evil?"

"You also caused irreparable damage to Leah's childhood. It's already a miracle that she hasn't killed you yet."
