Background / History
Pandora is a Shilin Apostle: a magic-technology-based, semi-energy construct organism rather than a robot. In non-combat conditions, her body can resemble an ordinary carbon-based human and replenish energy through eating. 5
After the Shilin Empire’s long dormancy, its remaining external information system detected thought fluctuations matching an Emperor’s Soul imprint. Pandora was dispatched to assist the newly recognized Emperor, Chen Jun. 5
She is a veteran General-class Apostle and commander of the Pandora Heavy Armored Legion. Her direct force includes 300 commanders, while its lower-ranking non-sentient units can be stored in subspace. 11 12
Millions of years earlier, Pandora was selected for the experimental Undying Project because of her talent and achievements. The project created thousands of soulless backup bodies that could receive her uploaded soul, memories, and personality if her active body died. The project was later abandoned in favor of Soul Crystal preservation, but her unused bodies remained in indefinite standby. 232
A later system error awakened Pandora’s backup bodies simultaneously during a catastrophic Abyss event, causing widespread clone-on-clone slaughter. One backup body developed independent intelligence, escaped, and eventually became Viska. Pandora considers the clones her own bodies and bears guilt over their fate. 232 233
Appearance
Pandora normally appears as a small, doll-like girl with an unfocused, pupil-less gaze and an expressionless demeanor. She is commonly described as being approximately 1.2 meters tall. 228 402
- Her usual eyes are gray and unfocused. 228
- Her eyes become violet-red in combat mode, greatly improving observation and attack accuracy. 228
- Her hair and eyes turn ice-blue during high-speed computation; this mode is accompanied by audible “beep” sounds. 228 1076
- Combat mode covers her in close-fitting silver-white alloy armor and a translucent light-green lower-face mask. 28 1616
- While serving as a Void Beacon, she becomes a luminous blue figure capable of illuminating the surrounding area. 12
Personality
Pandora initially speaks in an emotionless, mechanical manner and gives only necessary information. She is taciturn even among allies, often issuing orders through mental communication rather than speech; when alone without Chen Jun, she may sit silently for an entire day. 5 192
Her reserved exterior contrasts sharply with her attitude toward battle. Pandora becomes fervent, aggressive, and visibly excited when confronting enemies, favoring overwhelming firepower and direct solutions. Her military focus is so absolute that she is described as treating routine world discovery as an opportunity to establish outposts and military factories. 8 955
Time spent with Chen Jun gradually gives her more recognizable childlike habits. She keeps lollipops in her room, enjoys physical affection from him, occasionally quarrels with Pao Pao, and once stole Little Pao Pao’s lollipop. 192 232 243 244
Abilities & Skills
Shilin Apostle Physiology
Pandora can alter her material form through Shilin construct technology and shift between a human-like non-combat body and a heavily armed combat configuration. 5 57
- Uses a psionic reactor and an alternate-dimensional Void Energy generator as her energy source. 75
- Can replenish energy by eating in non-combat form. 5
- Her compact body is vulnerable to overheating during sustained high-output combat; her cooling system can reach its limit. 75
- Possesses extremely high resilience and combat capability as a General-class Apostle. 469
False Stasis
Pandora can create a localized phenomenon similar to time stop by halting information interaction in an area. 8 1617
- Frozen targets cannot be harmed by outside attacks, allowing her to protect civilians during combat. 8
- She can exempt selected threats from the effect. 8
- Without support from a Shilin Outpost Base, False Stasis lasts only fifteen minutes. 8
- Uses the opening created by stasis to disarm or neutralize threats, including memory erasure. 8
Psionic Arsenal
Pandora deploys heavy Shilin weaponry directly from spatial apertures and combat transformations. Her combat style emphasizes saturation fire, high precision, and overwhelming destructive output. 57 101
- 1000mm Anti-Ship Psionic Cannon — a massive anti-ship weapon used against armed attackers. 8
- Triple-barreled six-barreled Gatling/Machine Cannons — heavy rotary weapons used in close and medium-range combat. 8 101
- Anti-Proton Floating Cannon Matrix — car-sized Funnels deployed through spatial vortices for dispersed fire. 28
- Missile launchers — Pandora can deploy more than a hundred launchers behind her during saturation bombardment. 101
- Helium Flash — an attack powerful enough to annihilate a large portion of a demonic-beast horde and collapse a valley; its third-order charged version destroys a mountain. 30 96
- Ship-Slaying Blades — electrified melee weapons used when she must avoid conspicuous gunfire. 380
Spatial Operations and Force Deployment
As a Shilin General, Pandora can perform or coordinate long-range spatial operations for Imperial forces. 11 12
- Acts as a Void Beacon to guide 300 Empire commanders through their final warp positioning. 12
- Maintains a mental link with Chen Jun and can correct or relay distant Shilin communications. 8 10
- Identifies and understands Shilin spatial equipment such as the Null Beacon, an emergency evacuation and short-range spatial-navigation device. 24
- Can establish outposts, garrison Combat Golems, and construct military factories on newly discovered worlds as routine military work. 955
Analysis and Detection
Pandora has advanced scanning and calculation capabilities despite her preference for direct combat. 353 859
- Performs environmental recalibration, full-spectrum scans, and energy analysis after interworld travel. 1636
- Analyzes biological samples and determined that unknown corpses aboard an Eternal-class wreck were not native to the local Universe and had died in a Psionic Energy burst. 859
- Accesses major data networks, including Academy City’s Library, to collect operational intelligence. 353
- Detects abnormal energy fields and high-energy reactions. 329 356
Pandora–Viska Fusion
Pandora can merge with Viska into a stronger combined form. 469
- The fusion grants increased height and combat power. 469
- The form initially lasts five minutes. 469
- Differing personalities prevent stable unified judgment, causing the fusion to split apart when the sisters disagree. 743
- The fused form is known as Pandozilla. 666
