My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

At this moment, Vera's eyes gleamed with an almost fanatical excitement as she jogged along, shouting rapidly:

"Actually, I've always wanted to make Yu Tu the female lead in my next book!"

"I heard that those rain-wielding people don't fight back when ordinary humans throw eggs and vegetable baskets at them~~"

"So, they won't resist being forced to lift their skirts or do anything even worse like 'uh-huh,' don't you guys think this setting is lewd!?"

"oops--!!"

However, just a second after Vera finished speaking excitedly...

Because she was rushing too fast, she stumbled and fell forward.

With a "bang".

It fell right in front of Weiss, without missing a beat.

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence instantly fell over the living room.

Aunt Bai silently gestured a few times with her paws.

"Why don't you go and merge similar items with Weiss?"

"Weiss throws eggs, you go and do the 'uh-huh'."

Weiss looked down at the pink-haired, curly-haired girl lying at his feet and felt a long-lost sense of agreement.

Although he doesn't care now.

But if it were ordinary, unarmed passersby facing such an unreasonable natural disaster warning, they would probably only be able to vent their anger by impersonating villagers from Konoha.

After all, the disaster had nothing to do with the rain-soaked people themselves.

But their tendency to run to wherever trouble is brewing always carries a hint of schadenfreude...

Weiss instinctively reached out to help Vera, who had fallen to the ground, up.

Vera didn't think much of it and absentmindedly handed over her hand.

however.

After being pulled up.

Vera's expression suddenly stiffened, and she instantly entered a state of absentmindedness, freezing in place without moving.

Upon seeing this, Weiss's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly let go and preemptively clarified:

"A handshake doesn't count as being cuckolded."

"Don't even mention that you're still a virgin. Even the heroine of a pure love story will occasionally shake hands with men after becoming a wife."

This is a valuable lesson that Weiss learned from his observations over this period of time.

Vera is now so obsessed with Diana that she's become obsessed with pure love stories and is getting stuck in a rut.

If she develops any misunderstandings or misconceptions, that would be a huge problem.

However, to Weiss's surprise...

This time, Vera didn't argue back as usual, nor did she get into a heated argument with him. She just stood there blankly, her eyes wandering, lost in thought.

Mona and Aunt Bai looked at each other, both feeling somewhat shocked. It was the first time they had ever seen Vera so quiet.

It was just that Weiss pulled his hand.

Surely you don't have to be that disgusted...

A while later.

Vera seemed to snap out of her daze and nodded absentmindedly.

Then, she neither pressed Yu Tu for details nor insisted on going to Nifiel's house to see what was going on. Instead, she turned and went upstairs somewhat absentmindedly, her movements slow and limp.

He looked preoccupied.

"Who upset her again?" Mona tilted her head, looking confused.

"I don't know..." Aunt Bai said helplessly.

Meanwhile, Weiss touched his nose somewhat guiltily.

He wondered if his explanation had backfired.

never mind......

do not care.

Surely you don't feel like your innocence is completely ruined just because someone touched your hand?

Then just accept it.

...

After dinner.

Weiss first took Elune for a stroll in the garden to enjoy the breeze before leisurely returning to the bedroom.

Now is the perfect time to test out the new forbidden abilities.

He took the gold pocket watch out of the book of the world.

Taboo item: People going against the flow (No. 599)

Ability Details: When activated, it will freeze the flow of all nearby natural phenomena, such as raindrops, streams, and gentle breezes. The longer it is activated, the greater the mental energy consumption.

The pocket watch is made entirely of a metal with an antique luster, and the dial is engraved with intricate patterns, but it has no hands.

Weiss held it in his palm and examined it carefully for a moment.

To be honest, ever since he found this thing at the crime scene, he's always felt that it's all show and no substance.

after all.

When it first appeared at the Eighth Quarter, it used this pocket watch to freeze the raging storm in the entire town for five minutes.

Although the scene was indeed impressive and grand, it didn't seem to be much different from the glass slipper incident in essence.

They are all used to intimidate enemies and enhance one's own special effects.

Weiss didn't expect it to be of any real use.

However, now that containment is complete and the abilities have been fully unlocked, it is still necessary to conduct a formal test.

"Those going against the flow, open the way!!!"

After putting the pocket watch around his neck, Weiss slowly murmured to himself.

In an instant, a ring of ancient and profound golden light suddenly lit up on the dial of the pocket watch.

hum-

An extremely strange force field instantly enveloped the entire room.

In Weiss's view, the curve of the curtains, which had been swaying gently in the night breeze, froze completely at that moment.

Outside the window, the leaves that should have been rustling stopped swaying.

Even the tiny dust particles suspended in the air seemed to be stuck in place by invisible glue, frozen in mid-air without moving.

The image freezes, and everything stands still.

The entire spacetime seemed to have been forcibly paused.

however.

At that moment, Weiss's pupils contracted sharply.

Wait, something's not right...

It's not just about the external environment and wind direction.

Even his own protective wind field was frozen in place on the spot!!

He suddenly realized that, under the influence of the person going against the flow, his perception of the wind field had become sluggish and stagnant, as if it had been forcibly locked by an invisible hand.

The wind field that had been surrounding him and could manipulate airflow at will suddenly went out completely at this moment.

Weiss froze on the spot.

He made an incredible attempt to fully mobilize the extraordinary power within his body.

It was still to no avail.

It won't start at all.

It's like being frozen in ice; even the medium is interrupted, making smooth flow impossible.

Only after he completely shut down the effect of the Reverse Person did everything around him finally return to normal.

Then, Weiss held the gold pocket watch, stunned for a full half minute.

Before I knew it, a fine layer of cold sweat had slowly seeped out from my back.

It seems I've misunderstood something...

This thing is not some flashy but impractical toy at all!!

"It's not just the external natural phenomena that are still..."

"Even my abilities as a natural system superhuman can be frozen?"

Weiss was horrified when he thought about it, and almost cried.

Unlike the self-generated magic of the extravagant system, the extraordinary power of the natural system is essentially achieved by drawing upon and resonating with heaven and earth.

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fog, fire...

These are all natural phenomena.

Those who go against the flow are precisely the ones who can bring all natural phenomena to a standstill.

That is to say-

This thing is practically a natural counter to those with extraordinary abilities within the natural system!

Any natural-type superhuman who is enveloped by the domain of the one who reverses the flow will suffer extremely serious negative effects.

This person who goes against the grain is the complete nemesis of the natural world!!!

After Weiss realized this, he was completely distraught.

An utterly absurd thought was slowly emerging in his mind.

If the person in reverse had activated time stop at the eighth moment, his climate domain would have been paralyzed instantly. Not only would the lightning strike have been dispelled, but even the raging storm would have been forcibly dispersed.

Then myself...

How exactly did TM defeat the Eighth Hour back then?

Weiss was forced to recall the battle that had taken place a few days earlier.

That's right, the Eighth Quartet has been initiating the Reverse Movement ever since it appeared.

Simply to create a melodramatic performance effect of time standing still and everything stopping, they directly applied a five-minute hard control to the city's raging storm.

In the end, this not only put those who went against the tide into a temporary cooling-off period.

It also consumed a large portion of his mental and physical energy.

Thinking this, Weiss's expression gradually froze, and he muttered incredulously, "So, from beginning to end, my win rate was 0%?"

"Who would have thought that he would be carrying such an outrageous forbidden item, and then constantly wasting mana on empty ultimate skills, all for the sake of a visual effect in his entrance animation???"

"Are there no normal humans left in this world...?"

It's important to know that there are countless cases of people making big mistakes and missing opportunities.

But this is the first time I've ever seen someone defy the heavens by emptying their ultimate skill into a bloody mist.

The one that can annihilate the air is here...

Only then did Weiss belatedly realize that the strength and scale of this forbidden object, number 599, had completely exceeded his comprehension.

Neither Wind's Clothes nor Wei Xiao are qualified to carry the shoes of those who go against the tide.
