Whenever I try to update my system using yay or sudo pacman -Syu, it fails because it says that updating will breaking lib32-expat, which I forget why I installed. Here is a screenshot.
Please post terminal output as text and not screenshot.
Simply copy, paste and press Ctrle-E to fornat.
Also posting the whole output from the beginning might reveal some useful info.
In this case for example if multilib repo is enabled in /etc/pacman.conf or not.
Please check!

<pre># If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.
#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[multilib]

</pre>
does this mean it is enabled?
You should remove # from the beginning of these lines.
Also remove the duplicates.
After editing and saving the file, run your update command.
Also, if you are using EnOS, you seem to lack EnOS repo in your pacman.conf
Put this
[endeavouros]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist
above all the other repos in your pacman.conf
Run: sudo pacman -Syu after you have made these changes.

Alternatively for the expat problem, if you don’t need lib32-expat, you can try uninstalling it, but check also if that uninstalls something you need.
Something like:
sudo pacman -R lib32-expat
