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

to be honest--

This is fucking cheating!!!

Wei Xiao: This isn't funny at all...

at the same time.

Elune, who was reading minds, also saw clearly Weiss's testing process and mental journey.

Weiss has so many taboos...

They've already collected four.

However, since it's number 599, it's impossible for it to be weak. This level of forbidden item would be strictly monitored even by the Night Patrol Headquarters.

Thinking of this, Elune felt slightly dazed.

It should be noted that the Selenes family has been collecting forbidden items for so many years, and it took several generations of effort to barely manage to collect about ten of them, and even the highest-ranking item among them is only comparable to the Wind Robe.

Clearly, this person who went against the tide, number 599, is no longer just a pretty face.

It can be called a truly forbidden treasure.

It has to be said, Weiss really got a super lucky break this time, disappearing without a trace and making a million-dollar exit—

......

Family members, please vote for me!

Chapter 58: The End of the Path, 5th Order Void!!

After a brief moment of astonishment, Weiss roughly understood the true power of the high-numbered taboo objects.

Clearly, those who went against the tide were far more complex than they had initially imagined.

It doesn't even have any negative effects.

Simply keeping it on will continuously drain your mental and physical energy.

Weiss gently stroked the cool case of the pocket watch with his fingertips, trying to find new uses for it besides showing off.

He first tried to manipulate the range of this time-stopping realm with his mind.

According to Weiss's plan, if this area could be slightly shifted, suppressing the entire map environment while cleverly avoiding himself, the practical value of this forbidden item would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Especially when fighting against other natural superhumans, they are basically invincible.

However, Weiss collapsed to his knees a short while later.

"This is too difficult...!!"

He tried for half an hour, and each time he failed.

With his current micro-manipulation skills regarding wind power, he simply cannot precisely separate the domain from himself.

Each time someone is urged to go against the flow, the still area always envelops them as well, like a piece of chewing gum, locking them in along with the air.

The scaling range can be controlled freely, but this area is released from itself as the origin. Even if it is scaled to the minimum, only itself will be affected.

"Moreover, it's not a problem that can be solved simply by handling the mistake. It's like asking someone who has never touched a computer to play Warcraft or Red Alert directly. I simply can't do that now."

"To put it bluntly, even Star Bell at the eighth moment, a 7th-tier cultivator, couldn't pull off this kind of maneuver..."

"It seems we'll have to wait until the sequence advances further before we can even try."

Weiss sighed helplessly and temporarily put aside the idea.

However, although he was temporarily unable to control the orbit and movement of the time-stopping field, he did not give up, but continued to ponder and explore.

Although the person going against the flow will stop the flow of all natural elements, including the breeze they release, their physical body will not be suppressed.

So--

What if you take the initiative, use the wind to tightly wrap yourself up, and then start the person going against the flow?

The thought had been on his mind, and Weiss immediately began to try it.

An invisible wind swirled and gathered around him, wrapping around his limbs and torso, quickly transforming into a layer of ever-flowing air armor.

The wind's armor is more brittle than paper.

At most, it will only make others feel a slight amount of wind resistance.

But then, he held his breath and activated the pocket watch in his hand.

People going against the tide

"despair--"

A very soft click, as if a gear had gotten stuck in a groove.

The wind that had been swirling around him suddenly froze completely, like a frozen pixel forcibly stopped moving, clinging firmly to his body surface, motionless.

Weiss tentatively raised his hand to touch the frozen wind.

It's neither hard nor stinging.

but......

its stuck.

The moment the palm made contact with the wind armor, it didn't produce the dull thud of hitting a hard object, but rather a feeling that was hard to describe.

Right, it's like that feeling of being stuck in an invisible wall while playing a game.

I can't feel anything, yet I can't pass through it.

"sure......"

A hint of amazement flashed in Weiss's eyes.

This means that as long as one remains still and holds their breath, the person moving against the flow can freeze and fix the wind force, thus providing an absolute defense for oneself.

Furthermore, if the area of ​​the domain is minimized to only cover the area around oneself, the consumption of physical strength can be reduced.

In fact, because the pixels of this invisible wind were so tiny and minute that they were invisible to the naked eye, only Weiss himself, as a climate engineer, could feel them.

This means that most outsiders cannot actually see the shape and situation of the wind around him, and it is difficult to detect the source of his ability in the heat of battle.

"I am invincible."

"It feels like there's no better path in the world for those who go against the grain than the natural system."

"I just don't know if this layer of protection can withstand a throwing attack of Mona's intensity..."

While deep in thought, Weiss recalled and removed the person who had gone against the flow.

He then lay back down on the big bed.

He really wanted to find a place to test his current strength; to put it bluntly, he was itching to do it.

"It's a pity that this world doesn't have the setting of dungeons and monsters, so there are no living things for me to practice on."

"If you really want to speed up your reincarnation, you'll probably have to go to the underworld..."

That's fine.

The casualty rate in the Black Realm is frighteningly high even for Rank 7.

I would never do anything so reckless in my life.

Weiss was lost in thought, and even forgot that Elune was lying right next to him.

He casually turned over and adjusted his sitting posture, accidentally putting one leg on the vegetative woman. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he immediately lifted it up.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice."

"..."

"..."

Weiss, what are you doing...?

I'm already asleep.

Elune's slightly weary voice was filled with resentment and grievance.

She stopped reading minds a long time ago.

I never expected that I would be woken up by Weiss after sleeping for half a day.

Nothing more was said that night.

..

The next day.

Weiss opened his eyes almost as soon as it was light.

To be honest, he has been waking up at this time for several days in a row, and he always looks refreshed and energetic, without the slightest bit of sleepiness or fatigue.

"No wonder Adele gets up at five or six every morning and leaves the house."

"If it weren't for their human instincts, superhumans probably wouldn't feel sleepy even if they didn't sleep for two or three days."

Weiss walked into the restaurant muttering to himself, then stopped, looking puzzled.

Vera, with dark circles under her eyes, was seen rummaging through the restaurant looking for something.

They rummaged through everything, even lifting the tablecloth.

What are you doing?

Without giving it much thought, Weiss walked straight past her, intending to sit down at the other end of the table.

However, at the very moment the two brushed past each other—

Vera suddenly reached out and deliberately grabbed Weiss's sleeve, pretending to look at it a few times.

Even more outrageous, she took the opportunity to repeatedly rub Weiss's palm with her fingertips.

Weiss: ?

After withdrawing his hand, he looked at the deranged Vera with a bewildered expression.

"What did you lose that you have to go through my sleeve?"

"I didn't steal anything from you."

"So, whether it was your underwear or your bra that went missing, the reason they suspect me?"

Logically speaking, if Weiss had dared to make such a sarcastic and provocative remark in the past, Vera would have jumped up and started fighting with him long ago.

However, Vera's behavior today was just as inexplicable as yesterday.

She neither retorted nor got angry; she simply lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural redness.

After standing there stunned for about ten seconds, he turned around and left without a word, returning to the sofa where he curled up with his legs in a daze.

He looked lost and absent-minded.

Seeing this, Weiss was a little dumbfounded.

Just then, a lazy voice suddenly came from beside the dining table:

"Vera has been acting increasingly strange lately."

"Could they be dating?"

Weiss turned around at the sound and found that Mona had already sat steadily at the dining table.

He was somewhat surprised: "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Don't night patrol members have to patrol?"

After putting down her fork, Mona answered confidently, "I was planning to go on patrol, but I took a short nap after dinner yesterday. Who knew I would accidentally fall asleep right now and have a blackout? After all, I haven't slept for 20 hours in several days because of the Diana incident."

She paused, then added very seriously, "Oh, by the way, don't be fooled by my relaxed lunch. I just woke up, and my bottom is a little numb from sitting so long that I can't stand up yet, which is why I'm talking to you here. I was holding this fork with dinner last night."

Weiss: "......"

Okay, I just said that superhumans don't need to sleep, and here comes the boomerang.

The pure god of sleep descends.

So, none of the maids were able to move her to the guest room last night?

Oh right, I almost forgot.
