As soon as Tatsuki arrived in this world, he immediately sensed massive amounts of energy. These demonic beasts and members of the Witch Cult were being controlled, all emanating from a singular source he was rapidly approaching.
"Hello there."
A voice interrupted Tatsuki mid-flight, forcing him to halt abruptly. A barefooted girl appeared, radiating a faint white glow. Clad in a loose white robe, her fair skin was delicate and luminous beneath the fabric. Her silver-white hair cascaded gracefully, adorned with blue ribbons matching the bow on her shoulder. Her sapphire eyes shimmered with lazy curiosity.
"Your power is very interesting," she noted softly, her voice pure yet curious.
"Pandora, Witch of Vainglory?" Tatsuki quickly identified.
"Oh? You actually know my name," Pandora tilted her head adorably, her charming demeanor masking her true nature.
Tatsuki wasn't deceived. This seemingly pure girl was a banished Witch, mastermind behind the Witch Cult and possibly all the chaos plaguing this world. He knew clearly: she was an enemy he must eliminate.
Pandora studied him, eyes twinkling with amusement. "Are you seeking Subaru Natsuki? He's quite terrifying right now."
Tatsuki frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
Pandora giggled softly. "For some reason, Subaru Natsuki managed to deceive and take the powers of both the Witch of Envy and Satella."
"Huh?" Tatsuki was genuinely surprised. Subaru took Satella's power? What was going on?
Pandora continued cheerfully, enjoying herself immensely, "Do you know what love is? Isn't love painful? I watched both Satella and the Witch of Envy weep in agony. It was absolutely delightful! Marvelous, marvelous!"
Pandora kept emphasizing the difference between Satella and the Witch of Envy, two personalities within one entity. Tatsuki, however, wasn't concerned with such details.
Pandora suddenly smiled brilliantly, her eyes locking onto his, "Do you remember?"
"Remember what?" Tatsuki asked warily.
"You love me most of all, Pandora, enough to devote everything," she declared whimsically.
A surge of power attempted to invade Tatsuki's consciousness, aiming to rewrite his mind. Momentarily dazed, he quickly recovered, staring at Pandora with exaggerated passion. "Ah, Pandora, my beloved Pandora! I love you passionately and will give you everything!"
Pandora clapped happily. "Then go kill Subaru Natsuki for me. Even if you die, it's fine because you love me."
"Certainly!" Tatsuki vowed without hesitation, adding, "But before that, fulfill my final wish."
"What wish?" Pandora blinked innocently.
Tatsuki abruptly smiled cunningly, swiftly closing the distance to passionately kiss her lips, stunning her momentarily. Pandora trembled as he pulled away, staring into his golden eyes filled with dominance.
"Pandora, shouldn't you return my love? Isn't this what you forced upon me?"
Though Pandora desperately resisted mentally, her voice betrayed her. "Ah, Tatsuki, I love you!"
She shuddered violently, warm drops of rain imbued with magical energy began to fall. Flowers blossomed beneath them as Tatsuki mischievously smiled, placing his finger into her mouth, teasing, "Pandora, you love me so much that you wear nothing beneath to seduce me?"
"...Yes," she whispered helplessly.
Pandora demanded shakily, "What did you do to me?"
"I simply returned the favor," Tatsuki mocked coldly, dropping his act. "You tried rewriting my reality, so I rewrote yours."
Pandora was stunned. Someone had rewritten her consciousness? "Impossible!"
Tatsuki laughed lightly, "Perhaps because I'm not from your world. Congratulations, you kicked iron."
He lifted Pandora's chin gently, inspecting her face like a prized possession. "From now on, you're my slave."
Pandora felt despair—she now belonged entirely to him, unable to resist, forever controlled. Tatsuki dressed her with a snap, mocking playfully, enjoying his dominance.
Meanwhile, deep in a cave, Subaru laughed maniacally. "The world will end! Such incredible power from this transformed body, seizing the ultimate strength of this world!"
Subaru, a Converter, wielded the Witch of Envy's powers, manipulating beasts and cultists alike to end the world. This was his purpose, embedded from birth—destroying worlds as their own native beings.
"As expected, the source of magic is here," Tatsuki announced, entering the cave.
"Who?!" Subaru shouted, shadows erupting aggressively towards Tatsuki.
"Interesting magic," Tatsuki mused calmly, casually erasing the shadows with a flick of his finger. Beside him, Pandora realized she had no chance; Tatsuki's power was beyond her comprehension.
"Pandora?" Subaru eyed greedily, ignoring Tatsuki. "Give me your power!"
Thousands of shadowy hands surged from Subaru, consuming the mountain and sky, plunging the area into darkness as they lunged toward Pandora with devastating force.
Tatsuki smirked, completely unfazed, his eyes shimmering with deadly intent. The battle against Subaru Natsuki, wielding the Witch of Envy's immense power, had begun.
