Pandora-Kid blinks. “But I already found it. Is there just one?”

Aahh… The magician had been half-hoping this version of himself wouldn’t speak up… Does make it harder to defend his theory. But this is fine, he’ll keep building as needed.
“…No, or else the story around it wouldn’t be known in all of the universes. If were only kept in one, it’d be unfair and would give no benefit to disrupting the universe. Why have all the ones looking for it able to cross to meet other selves when what we’re looking for wouldn’t exist in other worlds? Then everyone would converge on one and royally screw up any reality that does exist as is.
And aside from that, it’s not as though you’re entirely immortal in all senses of the word. More likely the jewel containing Pandora is different for each of the universes, and possibly the effects as well, but all of them make it harder to be killed. So the more of us that find the gem in out universes, and if we chose to use it like you did, wouldn’t it be that much harder to get rid of us entirely? Basically, it adds another level of longevity to all of us as a person collectively if we find it ourselves. On our own in universes, even with parallel selves, it could be easy to kill us, but with both the interacting between universes and the possible added benefit of magical help in surviving from the gem itself, whoever searches and successfully manages to use Pandora for each of their selves really would be nigh unkillable.”
