Chapter 1746 The ultimate boss with unparalleled talent, Kinomoto Sakura

A genius among loners: "One of the most fundamental sources of security for human beings is the privacy and inviolability of their inner thoughts; mind reading has completely shattered this barrier."

A genius among loners: "No matter how shameful, evil, vulnerable, crazy, or private the thought, it will be exposed."

A genius among loners: "In our lives, maintaining connections between family, friendship, love, and work largely depends on 'white lies'."

A genius among loners: "Mind reading will reveal unspoken criticisms, fleeting negative thoughts, or true inner feelings."

A genius among loners: "The jealousy or contempt deep in the hearts of friends, the occasional boredom or fantasies of your partner about others, the hidden disappointment or resentment of family members, and the true negative evaluations of you by colleagues and superiors."

A genius among loners: "Knowing all the unfiltered, unadulterated thoughts in other people's hearts makes it impossible for them to trust others or build genuine intimate relationships."

A genius among loners: "You will be constantly hurt by thoughts that you 'shouldn't know'."

A genius among loners: "Once others know that you can read minds, even if they only suspect it, they will be extremely afraid, instinctively reject you, isolate you, and may even want to hurt you to protect their own privacy."

A genius among loners: "You will become the ultimate 'other'."

Imagine you're in a noisy room, and you can hear everyone's inner monologues.

Chaotic, trivial, contradictory, full of desire and fear.

This constant noise bombardment can drive people to a mental breakdown.

You will be forced to confront the ugliest parts of human nature: prejudice, malice, violent fantasies, distorted desires, and deep-seated traumas.

Prolonged exposure to this negative energy can have a devastating impact on your mental health, potentially leading to depression, suicidal thoughts, or even schizophrenia.

Constantly experiencing the thoughts and emotions of others may blur the boundaries between "self" and "others," leading to identity confusion and an inability to distinguish which ideas are one's own and which are learned from others.

Of course, these are just the negative effects; now let's talk about the benefits.

Because they know what others are thinking, they can easily predict behavior, discover weaknesses, exploit secrets, and manipulate emotions and decisions.

This ability is a huge temptation for anyone who possesses it, as it allows them to easily exploit the hearts and secrets of others to achieve their own desires.

But can someone with such powerful abilities really use them for good as they keep using them?

Even if the initial intention was good, how can one guarantee that they will not use such great power for personal gain, even for a small benefit or for "self-righteous justice"?

This ability itself erodes the user's sense of morality.

While you may understand everyone, no one can truly understand the burdens you carry and the darkness you see; you can never confide in others what you have “read,” thus making yourself even more alone.

When you know everything about the other person's thoughts and feelings in advance, all conversations and interactions become performances or manipulations, losing initiative and sincerity.

The surprises, trust, and emotions that language brings become impossible.

It deprives people of their most fundamental privacy and sense of security, and it destroys relationships and trust between oneself and others.

It imposes an unbearable mental burden and pollution on users; the power it grants is enormous and dangerous, easily leading to corruption and being hunted.

It threatens freedom of thought and the very foundations of social functioning.

Ultimately, it will push users into an inescapable abyss of profound loneliness.

Rather than calling it a "superpower," it's more accurate to describe it as an ultimate curse.

It breaks the psychological boundaries necessary for the normal functioning of human society and individual mental health, causing far more pain and chaos than any possible benefits.

An ordinary group admin: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

The ordinary group owner said, "While it does seem to make sense, if it were you, Hachiman Hikigaya, even mind-reading wouldn't be a problem."

An ordinary group owner said, "You will definitely master its power."

Su Yunqing couldn't help but gasp when she saw what Hachiman Hikigaya said.

Although she knew how powerful "mind reading" was, she really hadn't expected it to be as comprehensive and serious as Hachiman Hikigaya described.

However, she really doesn't want others to read her mind.

From this perspective, it is indeed a rather terrifying ability.

But if it's Hachiman Hikigaya who has this ability, then it's really not a big deal, is it?
A great teacher who can see into people's hearts will definitely be able to fully master this ability.

A genius among loners: "There's no need to praise me like that."

A genius among loners: "I have no confidence in this area."

Hachiman Hikigaya thought the group owner was deliberately praising him.

The ordinary group owner: "No, no, no, I didn't mean to flatter you."

An ordinary group owner: "It's my complete trust in you, Hachiman Hikigaya."

An ordinary group admin: "Because it's you, there will definitely be no problem."

Su Yunqing shook her head. She didn't mean to praise Hachiman Hikigaya on purpose; she genuinely believed that Hachiman Hikigaya was capable of doing it.

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "I agree with the group admin on this point."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Because Hachiman has a very strong attention span, right? He can accurately infer other people's true intentions through micro-expressions, language loopholes, and observation of groups."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "This is very similar to mind reading."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "And she fully understands the deception in interpersonal interactions, often using 'self-destruction' as a way to solve problems."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Isolated during middle school, emails read but not replied to, and I could space out for up to 8 hours straight."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Being able to see through people's hearts, yet always refusing to use their weaknesses to control others—this ability perfectly matches Hikigaya's pursuit of genuine things, doesn't it?"

Umaru said this from the bottom of her heart.

Having seen Hachiman Hikigaya's memory copy, Umaru knew very well what kind of person Hachiman Hikigaya was, so she completely agreed with the group leader's words and believed that Hachiman Hikigaya must be able to master the ability of "mind reading".

Erina Nakiri: "Yes, what Hachiman says is indeed true."

Kasumi Shiko: "On this point alone, there is no way to refute it."

Coffee Jelly: "Yeah, Hachiman would definitely be a good fit."

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "Do you really believe that?"

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "However, it seems that it is indeed possible."

Kaito Kuroba was somewhat surprised to see everyone trusting Hachiman Hikigaya so much, but thinking about Hachiman Hikigaya's performance in the memory instance, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

A genius among loners: "."

The sudden surge of people believing in him must have weighed heavily on his shoulders.

He's not that noble.

Even he, when faced with an ability like "mind reading," would inevitably have the thought of trying it out.

Knowing the limitations of "mind reading" is what allows him to suppress the urge to use it, even to the point of forgetting that he possesses this superpower.

But even if it's others, why does Kusuo Saiki trust him so much?

Did this guy also see a copy of his memories?
Damn it, so shameful. I know that everyone can see copies of each other's memories, and also copies of my own, but I still feel so ashamed.

Especially the scenes of "self-destruction" in the memory copy, and the inner thoughts at the time.

Ugh, why did this suddenly remind him of this?!
Death Agent: "So, why would Saiki Kusuo be giving out such a huge red envelope at this particular time?"

Death Agent: "Has something happened?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked with some curiosity.

While these superpowers might not mean much to Kusuo Saiki—he could easily regain them even if sent to others—it's unlikely that nothing happened when so many superpowers were inexplicably put into a red envelope.

Even Saiki Kusuo wouldn't have done this unless something really happened.

Coffee Jelly: "Yeah, my abilities have become much stronger, and I've gained a lot more power."

Coffee Jelly: "Too many repetitive superpowers."

Coffee Jelly: "Just sending a portion to the chat group."

Saiki Kusuo said calmly.

To be honest, there wasn't really a reason. After joining the chat group, he continuously reclaimed his superpowers and realized his potential, allowing him to quickly grow to the point where he could control his own superpowers.

They also gradually stopped limiting their own potential.

This led to his superpowers growing and being acquired at an increasingly rapid pace. Eventually, because he possessed almost every superpower he could think of, the superpowers he acquired began to "repeate."

Although fusion will increase the strength of the corresponding superpower, his superpower strength will grow over time, so he doesn't need to fuse in extra superpowers.

Controlling the automatic growth of superpowers every day is troublesome enough; having repeated superpowers bring even greater improvements is even more troublesome.

So he suddenly thought of sending it as a red envelope to the chat group to solve his problem.

After understanding the reason given by Saiki Kusuo, the others were at a loss for words.

Happy troubles?

Xia Shizi: "I've really said the word 'envy' enough."

Kasumi Shiko: "It really is a completely unfair world."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

Compared to someone like Kusuo Saiki, everyone else on Earth is just a backdrop on his path to growth.

Simply outrageous.

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "."

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "With such talent, apart from Bai Xuan, Huo Linfei, and Saitama-sensei, no one in the entire chat group can compare, right?"

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "I feel that even Superman can't keep up with their growth rate."

Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but say something.

Is this level of talent truly something that humans can possess?

Even in different worlds, humans are still just humans. It's a bit of an exaggeration for mere humans to possess such talent.

An ordinary group owner: "No? Then you're underestimating chat groups."

An ordinary group owner said: "There is also a big boss in the chat group whose talent is unparalleled."

An ordinary group admin: "@Cardcaptor Sakura, let the newbies know what talent is!"

Upon seeing Kaito Kuroba's comment, Su Yunqing immediately tagged Sakura Kinomoto.

In terms of talent, Bai Xuan, Saitama, Kusuo Saiki, and Huo Linfei are indeed terrifying.

This terror doesn't refer to the upper limit of what they can achieve, but rather the speed at which their strength increases.

Although they grew very quickly, there were still people in the chat group who could keep up with them.

Sakura Kinomoto is the person Kaito Kuroba overlooked.

Cardcaptor Sakura: "Eh? Me?"

Sakura pointed to herself in disbelief. Could her talent compare to that of Bai Xuan, Huo Linfei, Saitama, and Saiki Kusuo?

That probably won't work.

She didn't feel that her strength had improved that quickly at all.

Although the group leader said she would become a powerful being at the multiverse level in the future, that would be a long time from now, right?

If their world's upper limit is also at the multiverse level, then their growth rate should be faster than hers.

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "Cardcaptor Sakura Kinomoto?"

The Magician Under the Moonlight: "I've seen Kinomoto Sakura's memory copy; she's just a normal magical girl."

The magician under the moonlight: "I don't see anything special about it."

Kaito Kuroba asked, puzzled.

He had also read Sakura Kinomoto's Memory Copy; it was a very normal magical girl story.

However, it seems to contain some rather "special" emotions.

In terms of talent, while Kinomoto Sakura is talented, there's nothing particularly special about her.

The ordinary group owner: "NO, NO, NO, I think you don't understand at all."

An ordinary group owner said: "Sakura's story seems to be just about a normal magical girl, and in fact she is just a magical girl, but in terms of talent, Sakura's talent is second to none."

The ordinary group owner said, "Let's put it this way: even without joining the chat group, with Sakura's talent, she will be able to reach the multiverse level before she comes of age."

An ordinary group owner said: "Even when he was in high school, he might have possessed strength surpassing Bai Xuan's current level."

An ordinary group admin: "Do you understand?"

An ordinary group owner: "Without cultivation, simply by using the Clow Cards, one can achieve an explosive increase in one's magical power. In just ten years, one can possess power that reaches or even surpasses the level of the multiverse."

An ordinary group owner said, "Such talent belongs to the most terrifying level in the entire universe."

An ordinary group owner said: "After all, the multiverse and the hypermultiverse are already the end of the path. The higher levels are just a process of constantly stacking boxes and transcending boxes."
