However, with just a little thought, one can realize that this situation has no good outcome whatsoever.

Even if the collective human consciousness doesn't react, those who successfully perform forbidden techniques and take advantage of the situation will still cause big trouble.

The Earth Federation's leadership clearly understood this as well, but they were confident that they could suppress everything.

Shuya had doubts about this inexplicable confidence.

Take himself as an example. If he wanted to get involved, the Japan government wouldn't be able to withstand his meddling.

He was very confident about this because he knew the ins and outs of the Japan Administrative District better than anyone else.

He didn't hold the Alliance Leader for so many years for nothing...

Shuya sat in his room, lost in thought about these complicated matters.

It was already dark, but he didn't turn on the light; he just kept thinking silently.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

The ticking of the clock seemed to strike his heart.

Shuya slowly got up and walked to the bookshelf, taking out the book hidden in the deepest part.

On the Feasibility of Human Transmutation

True Resurrection of the Dead

These are books he used to read so many times they were worn out; he even took notes on them.

He had no intention of putting his research into these books into practice; he was just indulging in wishful thinking to keep himself occupied.

Shuya, burdened by Curse, understood the consequences of breaking taboos better than anyone else.

However.

However...

If there really is a chance...

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to give it a try?

After all, he doesn't need to be the one to lead the charge; being able to use forbidden techniques without any consequences is a huge win, isn't it?

The temptation was too great, so great that Shuya felt uneasy.

He knew that such an opportunity would be of little use to ordinary superhumans. Not to mention that they didn't understand any profound forbidden techniques, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to use them with their strength.

Low-level forbidden arts mostly involve human sacrifices and the like. These days, people who do these things don't even need Curse or backlashes; the police will just come knocking and kill those idiots.

On the contrary, it is strong individuals like Shuya who need this opportunity.

This is precisely the most dangerous part.

If people like him were to gather together, could the Earth Federation really withstand it?

Even if we can hold out, how many people will die?

It's one thing for a master to die for their own ambition. But to make innocent ordinary people die for someone else's ambition is just too unreasonable.

Thinking about all this, Shuya was really pessimistic about the situation two years from now. Or did the Federation's higher-ups really have a good plan?

He had far too many questions in his mind.

But even if you think about it a lot, what good will it do to Shuya?

He's even hesitating about joining in; worrying about it here seems rather hypocritical...

Shuya sat in his room the whole time, day after day, from Monday to Wednesday night.

I struggled with this decision for two whole days.

"Phew, I still can't reach a conclusion."

He shook his head, deciding to put this troublesome matter aside for the time being.

"Since we still have time, let's take another look."

Shuya ultimately decided to observe a little longer.

Anyway, there are still two years left.

He believed he wouldn't be the only one remaining inactive.

Those who are actually involved now are far from all of them.

Shuya perked up and casually stuffed the book containing forbidden knowledge back onto the bookshelf.

The doomsday prophecy is still some time away; he should be more concerned about something else.

The collective consciousness of humanity opened a door in Japan because of his actions back then, causing the emergence of Puberty Syndrome.

This is not a good sign.

This means that performing forbidden techniques in Japan would be relatively easier...

Good heavens, no wonder Japan has suffered so many disasters.

Shuya stated that he did not do it on purpose, and that it was all an accident.

He murmured, "Luckily, not many people know about this..."

He only seemed to tell that to the Heavenly God... right? Did Yukino and the others know that?

"Hmm, that's not important."

Anyway, they won't say anything out of line...

Perhaps.

Chapter 646: Little Senior Sister 602's Abilities

Shuya woke up from his reverie and, ignoring everything else, first took a nice bath.

Then he picked up his phone.

Sure enough, a lot of people were looking for him after he disappeared for two days.

Twitter, Line, and text messages are overflowing with messages.

Fortunately, he's been free these past two days and hasn't had any work, so he won't be causing any trouble or bothering anyone.

The biggest problem was that he missed school, Shizuka Hiratsuka complained to Hanazawa Sakura about it.

He looked at the Line messages from Hanazawa Sakura, and the endless whimpering was really annoying.

He casually replied that he'd been busy these past few days.

Hanazawa Sakura knew his identity, Shuya shifted the blame to the Monster, since subordinates were just there to take the fall anyway.

Nothing happened in the LINE group. Shuya an extraordinary person, so it's normal for him to disappear for a few days, which people would assume is due to seclusion or something.

Shuya; they were all chatting about everyday things and didn't mention him at all.

But when he scrolled up the chat history, they still mentioned him.

They all assumed he was practicing cultivation and didn't care much about him.

After all, his strength is undeniable; they simply didn't think anything would happen to him.

Shuya felt that this saved him a lot of trouble and was quite satisfied.

In the chat log, Shizuka Hiratsuka harshly criticized him for not going to school and not informing her, but that was fine. Let her complain if she wanted; she could just stay away from Hanazawa Sakura.

... As long as his mother can't find him, he won't get called a doge.

After looking at the things, Shuya decided to go eat in order to stop himself from thinking about anything else.

But just then, someone called.

He answered the phone immediately as soon as he saw who it was, "Hello, Little Senior Sister?"

Goodnight, Shuya- kun.

The Little Senior Sister's gentle voice reached my ears, and that alone had a healing effect.

"What do you need me for?"

"Um... Shuya- kun hasn't come to my house for dinner in a long time, are you coming over today?"

"Coming right away."

Shuya answered instantly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you then. See you later."

"Mmm, bye-bye."

Shuya put away his phone and exclaimed, "Ha... what a coincidence! I just finished being in a daze and called when I was about to eat. Yeah, my Little Senior Sister and I are really on the same wavelength, hahaha!"

He didn't think much of it and went straight back to his room to change his clothes.

Meanwhile, after putting down her phone, the Little Senior Sister said to Shoko beside her, "Shuya- kun agreed and will be here soon."

"Haha! As expected, Shuya- kun always comes whenever Seisen -neechan invites him."

Shoko clenched his fist and shook it, making a gesture of encouragement:

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going for a walk."

"OK."

The Little Senior Sister nodded and went to the kitchen to cook.

She knew that when Shoko said she was going for a walk, it wasn't because she was afraid of disturbing her and Shuya's time alone, but because Shoko couldn't appear in front of Shuya yet.

Shoko is not from this world, and meeting with Shuya is tantamount to interfering with the world's progress, which will lead to her being greatly rejected.

Her initial aversion had barely subsided, and she didn't want to experience it again.

Besides, she had been sleeping for so many days and couldn't take it anymore.

Shoko quickly slipped out.

She borrowed Mai's invisibility power, so she wouldn't be discovered by the Monster outside.

She walked along the bustling street in a good mood. "Hehe, it's so relaxing with Sister Seisen around!"

No matter how withdrawn Shuya, his Little Senior Sister can always handle it.

Speaking of this, Shuya and the others have always felt that their Little Senior Sister has a special power, otherwise it's hard to explain how she can always be immune to the effects of Puberty Syndrome.

In this timeline, Shoko is the only one who knows about his Little Senior Sister's abilities.

The power possessed by the Little Senior Sister was referred to as Attunement by Shoko and the others.

Her every move, her voice, and her singing can harmonize human emotions, relax the body, and have a very good healing effect.

The reason why the Little Senior Sister is not affected by Puberty Syndrome is because her constitution Attunement the power of the collective human consciousness.

Furthermore, ordinary Strange Arts are ineffective against Little Senior Sister; the spells are neutralized and then eliminated before they can take effect.

In addition, when the Little Senior Sister plays an instrument, the power of Attunement is fully unleashed. If she adds singing, the power is amplified even further.

This is why Shoko values Little Senior Sister so much; as long as she's there, Shuya won't degenerate.

On the contrary, if she weren't there...

Shoko remained silent.

Putting Shoko aside, Shuya quickly arrived at his Little Senior Sister's house.

He could smell the aroma of the food even through the door.

He knocked on the door. "Little Senior Sister, I've arrived."

The Little Senior Sister in the kitchen replied, "Oh, sorry! I can't leave here. Please come in by yourself."

OK.

The door was locked, but that shouldn't be difficult to Shuya.
