Shinji's distant gaze gradually grew more serious.
The Bewitching Overlord, which had suffered a heavy loss last time, clearly didn't intend to let things go. But it also knew that the spatial barrier stood in its way. If it sent only a small amount of power through, it wouldn't be a match for Shinji. So this time, it was not only actively infiltrating the world with its power, but also gathering strength and holding back, waiting for the right moment to strike.

He summoned the technology orb, Little Round, and asked, "How much time does this world have left?"
Little Round immediately replied, "At the current rate, World 3 has 23 days, 13 hours, and 26 minutes left."
With more and more data models to draw on, Little Round's predictions of the world's destruction had become increasingly precise.
