The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss
Chapter 657: Epilogue
"So, Pandora, what do you think of your current state?" The primordial goddess asks me with a smile as I gaze at my "body" — a complex set of rules and limitations that omnipotence has given me. My body is no longer fragile like flesh; it has become part of everything that exists and does not exist at the same time.
"Status." I open my status. Even though I already know what’s in it, I want to see it displayed in a readable format.

"Oriane, I can say that being omnipotent is... nothing. My definition of it is simply choosing nothing as the representation of what it means to be absolute." I look at Oriane, who gives me an empty smile.
An omnipotent being has no feelings, because we feel everything while feeling nothing at the same time, so we can only simulate emotions we’ve already understood down to their deepest core.
"I understand your definition, and yes, Pandora, omnipotence is something quite simple. I’d like to say I didn’t imagine you would achieve omnipotence in such a short time, but that would be a lie, and you know it."
"Yes, I also know everything about you now." Omniscience is truly convenient. I know the deepest parts of Oriane’s existence, and now I can also solve the paradox of a fight between two omnipotent beings.
There’s that saying about how if two omnipotent beings fought and one lost, they weren’t truly omnipotent, and if neither could eliminate the other, then both also wouldn’t be omnipotent.
The reality is different now. Oriane and I are both omnipotent, and because of that, it is IMPOSSIBLE for us to fight one another. Not because it would never end or because one would lose.
But because there isn’t a single state of existence that requires conflict. The concept of conflict is something irrelevant before two omnipotent beings, so two omnipotent beings would never fight. That is the answer to the question.
There is no missing information, so there is no misunderstanding; there is no unattainable desire, so there is no dispute; there is no scarcity, so there is no competition; there is no threat, so there is no defense.
It’s not that we couldn’t fight; it’s that there is nothing that would make Oriane and me fight. It would be like an unstoppable object trying to collide with an immovable wall — the reality is that both would simply veer away from each other before the collision occurred, preserving their ontological state.
"I think it’s an interesting choice, the fact that you, Pandora, chose to simulate these emotions," Oriane says, regarding my choice of emotions.
"Lust, destruction, and chaos have always walked side by side with me, so now that I’m omnipotent, I believe it’s a good option to maintain those traits, even though I can no longer truly feel them." Normally, I would feel a void, but I’m not even capable of feeling emptiness anymore.
Emotions are like data — I can read them and replicate them, but I won’t truly feel them. My current choice of emotions is just something similar to my past emotions.
"Pandora, I would love to ask if you feel happy now that you’re omnipotent, but obviously that’s another question that makes no sense, so I’ll ask a different one. Is omnipotence what you expected?" She asks, floating in this black void where we are.
We are currently in the [Limbo], outside of existence itself, the place where not even [Nothingness] exists.
"No, it wasn’t what I expected in the past. Now that I’ve achieved omnipotence, it’s quite different from what I could have imagined." Feeling everything, seeing everything, knowing everything, being able to do anything — these are things one can’t imagine until one can actually do them.
Even my body now — it may appear to be something physical, but my current body is just a cluster of data and existential laws that compose an "observable" form, because in reality, my body is not something visible and comprehensible to the concept of [Mind], just like Oriane’s.
"Especially our conversation — we’ve already had this conversation infinite times in my perception. So ’experiencing’ a conversation we’ve already had infinite times based on what time represents is just something that lacks real meaning."
"I understand you, Pandora, but I believe you’re ’enjoying’ it, aren’t you? After all, truly experiencing something is very different from just feeling, knowing, and seeing it through the perception of omnipotence, right?"
"It’s true that the physical act of a conversation has its ’charm.’ But since that’s the case, I could propose having sex with you, couldn’t I? I’m sure that’s something my old self would propose." I suggest with a smile on my face.
"Yes, I imagine that’s something you would have asked for before, and naturally, sex is something I’ve never physically experienced, so I’m open to this experience. But obviously, our existences aren’t something capable of ’colliding’ physically in that way."
"Exactly. Sex becomes impossible being just this cluster of data, so how about we materialize bodies for ourselves to experience it?"
"Hahaha, Pandora, one of your first physical acts after gaining omnipotence being sex is totally something the you of the past would do. I like how you keep your past essence almost unchanged." Her body simply becomes physical.
There is no effect, no glow, no distortion — this is omnipotence. Whatever she wants happens, and it needs no logic, explanation, or phenomenon. It’s the same with me. My body simply becomes physical, corresponding to what I want from my current ontological state.
"Oriane, I would love to say that the incestuous depravity of fucking my grandmother is something that excites me, but it’s a shame that even though you’re ’beautiful’ by physical standards, I don’t really have emotions to enjoy it." I say with ’regret’ in my voice, even though it truly matters very little.
"Oriane, before that—"
"Yes, Pandora, I will fulfill that ’small wish’ of yours and feel the emotions that are appropriate to it."
"...Perfect. Then I prefer a shy grandmother. After all, you’re a ’virgin’ in a way, so I prefer to maintain that same logic. It would be more exciting to deflower a shy grandmother than a mature woman who understands sex."
"Pandora, it’s almost surprising you didn’t try to have sex with your mother. Your respect for her was truly something admirable. You should respect me more, as the mother of your mother."
"I respect you. I respect you as much as ’respect’ means between us."
"That suffices, Pandora... please be gentle with an old woman like me." The Limbo around us becomes an elegant wooden room, with a large white bed for our experience. It will be the first time since I became omnipotent that I’ll have something sexual.
And it’s been several million years since I’ve had sex, although my avatars are thoroughly enjoying sex with my wives.
"You’ve aged like the finest wine in existence, Oriane. Not that you age, but you understand my flirting, don’t you?"
"Th-Thank you." She blushes, displaying the emotions most suitable for our situation, as I observe her body — those beautiful large breasts, the mix of her white and red hair, and her eyes, the black sclera framing her golden eyes, are truly lovely.
"Your gaze full of desire is so lewd, Pandora..." She murmurs as I throw her onto the bed with some force, yet still being gentle with her.
In any case, there isn’t much to do when you’re omnipotent, so I suppose exploring physical interactions with Oriane will be the new standard of my life for the rest of eternity.
"P-Pandora, what wicked thoughts are you having?" She speaks, embarrassed, knowing exactly what I’m going to do.
"Don’t worry, they won’t even notice, and it’ll be hilarious." I will make sex toys to use with Oriane, but what’s the fun in making just any toy? I’ll make entire universes in the shape of the toys and use them.
It’s far more interesting. For example, imagining anal beads where each sphere is a universe is quite exciting indeed.
"Besides, if you’re the most benevolent omnipotent of all, I’m the most malevolent omnipotent." There is no good and evil among omnipotent beings, only a choice of what personality we want to have. Oriane chose a gentler and more loving personality, and I chose to "act out" my former personality.
That’s why it can be simplified as the most wicked being in existence with the most benevolent being in existence. It makes things more entertaining and makes me want to see how far I can push things, even knowing the answer.
