I'm in a crossover anime world, and I've been transported to Hogwarts twice.

Robbers who broke into a private residence?

No, compared to Pandora, he wasn't even a bandit; at best, he was a bug that had wandered into the realm of the gods and wasn't even worthy of three or four hearts!

pressure!

Unprecedented pressure to die!

It's a thousand times more terrifying than the spatial turbulence experienced during illegal immigration!

Genichi Hanyu's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, his will to survive overriding everything.

In a flash, he forced himself to calm down, ignoring the oppressive force that was almost crushing his soul. Facing Pandora's seemingly innocent but actually indifferent gaze, which regarded him as an ant, he used all his strength to make his voice sound as steady and clear as possible: "Crushing me is as easy as turning your hand."

"But perhaps..."

Genichi Hanyu took a deep breath, looked directly into those purple eyes that seemed to hold the universe within them, and offered his only, and greatest, bargaining chip: "Can we cooperate?"

240 Pandora: Are you going to be a traitor, honey?

Pandora's eyes, as deep as amethyst and containing the birth and death of the universe, narrowed slightly with an almost imperceptible curve the moment she heard Genichi Hanyu's words about cooperation.

The pure playfulness and cold killing intent that was originally like a child toying with ants seemed to have been infused with a touch of genuine curiosity.

"Oh?"

Her small nostrils twitched slightly, as if she were trying to sniff out the true intentions hidden in Genichi Hanyu's words, and the rhythm of her bare feet swinging in the air also quietly stopped.

The fingers that were lazily resting on her chin gently tapped her cheek.

"interesting!"

Pandora's voice was still clear and melodious, but beneath that innocence lay a hint of scrutiny and playfulness from an ancient being.

For the first time, her gaze, which had been fixed on Genichi Hanyu as if he were an ant, lingered longer on him, carrying a sense of reassessment.

“A stowaway who can barely protect himself and can’t even withstand a single finger of mine dares to talk to me about cooperation? Little guy, your courage is far greater than your strength.”

The invisible pressure still weighed on Genichi Hanyu like a million mountains, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

But he forced himself to stay calm. Under the gaze of those piercing purple eyes, he knew that any lie would lead to his own destruction.

Only absolute honesty offers a glimmer of hope. 09 "Yes, cooperation."

Genichi Hanyu's voice was slightly hoarse, yet exceptionally clear.

"But this cooperation is not based on my current strength, but on the possibility of my existence and the threat we face together!"

He took a deep breath, as if trying to draw upon the thin air of this divine realm to sustain his will.

Faced with an existence like Pandora, there was no point in hiding it, so he chose to tell her everything!

"In my home world, I reached a deep pact with Gaia, the primordial consciousness of that world. We are two sides of the same coin, sharing both prosperity and adversity. Our goal is to invade, conquer, and devour other worlds, plunder their resources, analyze their rules, and absorb their source of power in order to continuously strengthen our own existence and pursue higher status and power!"

He made no embellishments, revealing the naked truth of Chaldea—a predator that feeds on the world!

Pandora's smile remained unchanged, but deep within her purple eyes, it seemed as if a cold nebula was silently swirling and colliding.

She asked with great interest, "So, you little bug, representing your Gaia, have come to my territory and are planning to invade my world?"

"No, I am standing here not to invade on behalf of Gaia, but to have forcibly and illegally crossed the border!"

He paused, his voice heavy with an almost desperate tone: "Because I have encountered an end that I absolutely cannot cross by simply devouring things step by step and becoming stronger step by step!"

Without further hesitation, Genichi Hanyu described to Pandora his soul-wrenching premonition dream—a vision of absolute destruction where the heavens shattered, stars were extinguished, his lover perished, he himself disintegrated, and even Gaia was not spared—in the clearest and most shocking way.

He depicted that pure, all-encompassing nothingness, the horror of which even existence itself was utterly ended.

Every detail bears the mark of the despair he personally experienced.

As he spoke, the seemingly unchanging, slightly mocking, lazy smile on Pandora's face finally faded away.

For the first time, those violet eyes, which seemed to contain the universe, focused truly and solemnly on Genichi Hanyu.

She stopped swaying her bare feet, her petite body leaning slightly forward, as if trying to take in every fluctuation of fear deep within Genichi Hanyu's soul.

The omnipresent, terrifying pressure seemed to have become more somber, no longer merely murderous intent, but also imbued with an indescribable sense of contemplation.

The heavens shattered.

This word was by no means a distant concept for Pandora.

As a symbol of the will of this world, she has a far greater understanding of the fragility of the multiverse than ordinary people.

The scene in Genichi Hanyu's dream does not depict the end of a particular world, but rather the complete collapse of the foundation that forms the entire multiverse!

That was the end result of countless worlds, countless dimensions, and even the very foundation of her own existence being uprooted and completely annihilated!

In a world of god-slayers, how can one remain unscathed?

Pandora remained silent.

She wasn't questioning the veracity of Genichi Hanyu's words; at her level, lies were as transparent as glass.

She could clearly sense the primal fear and despair emanating from the depths of Genichi Hanyu's soul as he described the dream; it was something that could not be faked, and he was not lying.

It was this authenticity that made her feel so heavy-hearted.

After a long while, the ethereal and majestic voice rang out again, less playful and more scrutinizing and inquisitive: "An interesting dream, or rather, a terrible revelation."

She looked at Genichi Hanyu, her purple eyes gleaming: "So, you escaped the methodical process of being devoured, and like a fugitive, you broke into my world, seeking to fight against the power of the end?"

"Yes."

Genichi Hanyu answered without hesitation.

"Cooperation is not out of the question."

Pandora nodded slightly, a slight smile returning to her lips, but this smile was no longer innocent; instead, it carried a chilling, calculating quality that seemed to see through everything.

“A variable that can foresee the end and dares to take risks for it is indeed worth my slight interest.”

Her tone shifted abruptly, her voice becoming like a sharp, icy blade, piercing straight to Genichi Hanyu's core: "But, little one, how can I trust you? How can I trust that your vow to seek power to fight the end is not another carefully woven lie? How can I trust that once you gain power, you won't turn your guns on me, like you described devouring other worlds, and include my world in your and your Gaia's recipe?"

Pandora leaned forward slightly, and the suffocating pressure intensified once more, as if the power of the entire divine realm was focused on Genichi Hanyu.

"Trust requires a pledge of loyalty."

Genichi Hanyu's heart sank; he knew the most crucial test had arrived. Meeting Pandora's all-seeing gaze, he asked in a low, firm voice, "What do you want?"

Pandora smiled.

That smile was like a blooming poppy, beautiful yet deadly. She stretched out her slender, jade-like fingers and gently touched the spot on Genichi Hanyu's heart, as if she could control it from across the void.

"It's very simple."

"Kick away your original world."

"Sever all ties and contracts between you and Gaia." 590 "Transfer the anchor of your existence from her to me!"

Pandora's voice carried an undeniable allure and cruelty: "Become my true representative in this world!"

"Use your power, your ambition, and your unpredictable nature to stir up the winds of this world, to hunt down those disobedient gods, to seize their power, and to use their divine essence as the foundation for your ascent of the ladder of power. And I will provide you with protection, guidance, and even the opportunity to become a godslayer!"

"As for Gaia."

Pandora's smile turned cold and cruel, a hint of ruthlessness belonging to an ancient god flashing in her purple eyes: "She will become a thing of the past. Between you and her, only one can exist. Either you completely abandon her and become my person, or you turn to dust now, along with your pathetic prophecy of the end, and vanish into my divine realm."

She tilted her head, and with the most innocent expression, presented the most fatal choice: "So, little one? Will you trade the death of your former master for the chance to survive and become powerful under the new master?"

The air within the divine realm seemed to have solidified into eternal ice.

Pandora's gaze hung like a sword of judgment over Genichi Hanyu's head.

Betray Gaia, sever the only path home and the symbiotic contract, and become Pandora's puppet?

Or will utter destruction come immediately?

Genichi Hanyu stood there, like a lone boat in the eye of a storm, his face as pale as paper, but deep within his dark eyes burned a more frenzied and resolute flame.

241 Where did you get that white beard? And you even took me in as your son?

Pandora's words, sharp as ice blades, carrying the pressure of a god and a merciless choice, almost froze Genichi Hanyu's soul.

Betray Gaia, sever the only symbiotic contract, become Pandora's puppet, or turn into a speck of dust in the divine realm right now?

The air seemed to solidify, becoming so heavy it was suffocating.

Genichi Hanyu stood there, his face deathly pale, with beads of cold sweat trickling down his forehead as his body instinctively resisted the oppressive force that was enough to crush his soul.

However, just when Pandora thought he would collapse or succumb to this desperate choice, Genichi Hanyu's tightly pursed lips slowly and abruptly curved upwards into an arc.

That was neither a smile of submission nor a desperate, bitter laugh, but an arc of cold mockery, even a hint of insane provocation!

"Ha ha ha ha."

The low laughter, initially suppressed, gradually became clearer, and finally echoed throughout the desolate divine realm, carrying a strange penetrating power that broke the suffocating silence.

For the first time, Pandora's purple eyes, which held the very essence of the universe's birth and death, revealed a genuine hint of surprise.

She tilted her head slightly, her hair falling over her shoulder, and looked at the little bug in front of her who could still laugh even under her pressure. The playfulness and inquiry in her eyes became even stronger.

"Oh? You can still laugh even when you're about to die? It seems I underestimated your courage, little fellow."

Pandora's voice remained ethereal, but the chilling killing intent seemed to have been slightly diluted by the sudden laughter.

As Genichi Hanyu's laughter subsided, he raised his eyes. In the depths of his dark eyes, what burned now was no longer simple fear or the will to survive, but a sharp light that was almost scorching and insightful.

He looked directly into Pandora's eyes, which seemed to see into her soul, and said with an unusual calmness in his voice: "Pandora, if I really agree to your conditions, sever all ties with Gaia, and become your agent..."

He paused, the mocking curve of his lips becoming even more pronounced.

"So, do you really trust me? Or can we really build the kind of wholehearted cooperative relationship you expect?"

Before Pandora could answer, Genichi Hanyu's voice suddenly rose, carrying a penetrating force that was almost accusatory: "Stop saying nice things, you and I both know the truth!"

He took a small step forward, and even the invisible shackles of the laws seemed to tremble slightly under the will he unleashed at that moment.

"A variable that, in pursuit of power and to fight against unknown threats, will not hesitate to abandon its original symbiotic allies and even push them into the abyss of death."

Genichi Hanyu's gaze was like a poisoned ice spike, fixed intently on Pandora.

"Would you dare to grant such a being power? Would you dare to make him your agent in this world, wielding authority powerful enough to kill gods?"

"Aren't you afraid that if I can kick Gaia away today, I can kick you away just as easily tomorrow when a stronger temptation or threat appears?"

"..."

Pandora fell silent. The innocent smile on her face vanished completely, replaced by a deep, cosmic tranquility.

She looked at Genichi Hanyu, her purple eyes showing no anger at being offended, only a cold scrutiny, as if she were reassessing a dangerous tool.

Genichi Hanyu's words were like a precise scalpel, dissecting the most fundamental and fragile logical paradox beneath her seemingly generous yet cold-blooded cooperation proposal—trust.

Yes, she cannot trust a traitor.

As Genichi Hanyu said, if someone can betray Gaia, what difficulty is there in betraying Pandora?

What she needs is a knife, a knife that can stir up the winds and clouds, hunt down gods, and serve her purposes, not a knife that might turn against her at any time, or even become another, greater threat.

A double-edged sword!

Could it even be the fuse that destroys itself?

Genichi Hanyu keenly noticed Pandora's momentary silence and the change in her eyes.

He knew that he made the right bet!

He struck a nerve with Pandora, touching a nerve that called fear!

He is not without value; the variable qualities he exhibits and his fear of the end are real. However, the danger that comes with this power is something Pandora cannot ignore!

He pressed his advantage, softening his tone but conveying an undeniable firmness: "Therefore, Lady Pandora, the cooperation I'm talking about has never been based on kicking out one party. That would only trap us in a quagmire of suspicion and defensiveness, making it impossible to form a true united front to deal with the potential threat!"

Genichi Hanyu's gaze was frank and sharp: "What I need is cooperation based on joint efforts. It is for both of us to temporarily put aside our suspicions based on our shared potential crisis, share resources and information, and leverage each other's strengths. You provide me with the opportunity to become stronger in this world and the necessary protection, while I serve as your pioneer and test subject in exploring unknown threats and stirring up the world!"

"We each get what we need, and we share the same goal: to become as powerful as possible, so as to add even the slightest, insignificant variable to the potential shattering of the heavens!"

He took a deep breath and made his biggest concession: "As for the pledge of loyalty you need, I understand your concerns and I can give it to you, but on the condition that this pledge of loyalty cannot be a betrayal of Gaia. That would be tantamount to destroying one's own foundation and would also go against my original intention of seeking power to protect everything!"

Genichi Hanyu straightened his spine, as if trying to push back the invisible pressure: "I don't know exactly what kind of guarantee you want, but you can make a request. As long as it's not like the one just now that cuts off my escape route and makes us destined to be unable to trust each other, I can basically agree to anything within my capabilities and that doesn't violate my core principles!"

Silence fell once again within the divine realm, but the atmosphere was completely different from the previous somber and desolate one.

Pandora lightly touched the air with her bare feet, and her small body slowly floated up from the throne. She circled around the imprisoned Yuzuru Genichi, her purple eyes like the most precise scanner, examining him from head to toe, from body to soul, again and again.

Clearly, Genichi Hanyu's counterattack and clear logic disrupted Pandora's initial plans.

The request for her to kick out Gaia was a probing, demanding condition imbued with an absolute desire for control, and she didn't expect Genichi Hanyu to agree to it easily.
