— "Future Sight".

The ability to foresee future developments within an uncertain timeframe, regardless of the opponent's offensive strategy.

That's Pandora's power.

This is what is known as predicting the future.

So, what is humanity's most distant future?

----"die".

The inevitable future from which there is no escape.

In terms of ability, Pandora is indeed at a foul level.

However, the price of using this Pure Star Imperial Armament is experiencing one's own death in a dream.

Died of illness.

Die of old age.

starve.

freeze to death.

Burned to death.

He was killed.

These deaths will all be perfectly recreated in the dream through Pandora's abilities and bestowed upon the user.

Therefore, those who use Pandora will have to experience their own death in their dreams every day.

Such an outcome has no other meaning than bringing unimaginable horror and suffering.

At this very moment, Fang Li found himself trapped in this meaningless death.

Whether it was because Pandora was really fond of Fang Li, the moment she fell into Fang Li's palm, this extremely vile Pure Star Imperial Armament forcibly dragged Fang Li into a dream and kept showing Fang Li all sorts of deaths.

Aside from being killed by Sylvia Lyyneheym at the beginning, Fang Li later experienced various ways of dying, including being killed by Fan Xinglu, Zhao Hufeng, Cecily, the Li Siblings, and even being surrounded and killed by the students of Jielong.

Then, Pandora began to indirectly cause the deaths of the rest of the Fang Li.

He was accidentally killed by his opponent during the Star Wars Festival.

He was caught in a storm at sea, fell into the water, and drowned.

They were caught in the explosion and burned alive.

He was left to starve to death on the streets of the Battle City.

Even more surprisingly, one might die suddenly without any apparent reason during the course of cultivation.

One death after another befell Fang Li, tormenting his body and mind.

However, Fang Li remained calm and composed as an observer amidst all of this, silently experiencing it all.

As the experience progressed, Fang Li's reflections began to emerge.

"Too insignificant..."

Yes.

Too insignificant.

Died of illness?

"It's just death..."

Die of old age?

"It's just death..."

starve?

"It's just death..."

freeze to death?

"It's just death..."

Murdered?

In the end, it was just my death...

Is this what "death" is like?

"That can't be right, can it?"

At least, in the world that Fang Li has watched countless times, filled with crack-like lines, human death is merely the most insignificant part.

"As for me, I've witnessed a far more intense and expansive 'death'..."

The death of a person.

The death of things.

Death from illness.

The death of a superpowered person.

Fang Li had witnessed and even understood the death of all things.

Compared to all of this, what does the death of one person matter?

Therefore, Fang Li is qualified to say that.

"Too insignificant..."

In the boundless darkness, in his own dream, Fang Li slowly raised his head.

Ice-Blue Demon Eyes appeared in its eyes.

He gripped the sharp dagger in his hand.

"True 'death' should be like this..."

The crack-like Death Lines appeared before Fang Li, like a fissure.

That is the "death" in dreams.

"This is what 'death' truly means..."

The moment the words left his mouth, Fang Li slowly sliced along the crack-like Death Lines with his Fang Li.

"Bang----!"

With a sound like shattering glass, the pitch-black dream was resolutely shattered.

It was killed.

"————!"

Outside the dream, in front of the school gate, a silent scream, like an ultrasonic wave, suddenly rang out.

The pair of blades that Fang Li held tightly in his hands, which had been radiating a dazzling red light just a moment ago, now had their Omni-element Crystal, resembling a pair of eerie eyeballs, flickering incessantly as if they had been stimulated.

"Oh?"

"What's wrong?"

Both Fan Xinglu and Claudia were astonished to witness this scene.

At that moment, although no tangible sound was heard, both Fan Xinglu and Claudia heard a mournful cry.

That was the lament of Pandora.

That mournful cry was filled with terror.

That mournful cry was filled with terror.

As if she had seen something extremely terrifying, Pandora let out a silent scream, and then suddenly trembled violently.

Even Fan Xinglu and Claudia could see that.

Pan-Dora tried to open Fang Li's hand.

As if trying to break free from the clutches of a terrifying monster, they were filled with terror.

As the actual owner of these two Pure Star Imperial Armament, Claudia immediately understood Pan-Dora's behavior.

"Is it afraid?"

Claudia was shocked.

Are you scared?

Pandora is actually afraid?

Pandora, who revels in the deaths of her owners and constantly gives them all sorts of death experiences, is actually afraid?

"How could this be..."

As Claudia murmured, Fang Li, Fang Li was holding eerie twin blades in his hand, twitched his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

"Buzz buzz buzz————!"

The eerie twin blades trembled even more violently.

Feeling the recoil from his hands, Fang Li lowered his Fang Li, looked at Pandora, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said this.

"That's all there is to it."

After saying that, Fang Li tossed the twin blades in his hand back to Claudia.

Claudia was taken aback and instinctively took Pan-Dora into her hands.

"Zheng—!"

The eerie twin blades immediately seemed to be freed, emitting a burst of red light before disintegrating into their Activation Body form and falling into Claudia's palm.

The light that illuminated the surroundings dimmed until it disappeared completely.

As if nothing had happened, everything returned to normal.

"Looks like it's over." Fan Xinglu said to Fang Li with an enigmatic smile, "How does it feel?"

"Not so great." Fang Li shrugged and replied honestly, "It's always just me dying alone, it's kind of boring."

"Really?" Fan Xinglu laughed happily. "Compared to your understanding of 'death,' the 'death' Pandora gives us is indeed far too insignificant. This time, it's truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple."

It seems that Fan Xinglu is quite enjoying this development.

Only Claudia, holding Pandora's Activation Body, turned her gaze to Fang Li, her expression extremely complicated.

"A trivial 'death'?"

This is truly the biggest irony for Claudia.

After all, Claudia had been enduring this kind of "death" all along.

It took several years.
