A seventeen-year-old girl: “Welcome, new member! If you have any questions, please check the group announcement.”
God of Tongue: “Coffee jelly? It seems like the new member is also from a modern setting.”
Love Coffee Jelly the Most: “…”
Stinky Bean Sprout: “Kimi no Nasa?”
Love Coffee Jelly the Most: “Yes, you even know me, Group Leader?”
Ainz Ooal Gown: “Ah, so calm, just like Mr. Aizen. The new member isn't an ordinary person, is he?”
Love Coffee Jelly the Most: “I’m an esper.”
At his own desk, Kii no Nasa, for once, revealed a slightly perturbed expression.
He was a ridiculously powerful esper.
Upon being inexplicably invited to this chat group, he immediately implemented comprehensive checks and exclusion methods, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and even time rewinding.
However, none of these methods worked, leaving him with no choice but to patiently read through the so-called group announcement.
The more he read, the more surprised he became…
After learning about the information concerning this chat group, Kii no Nasa finally understood why his powers weren't working. At the same time, he felt slightly relieved.
Ding.
【Group Leader Stinky Bean Sprout uploaded the document “The Disasters of Kii no Nasa”】
Including Kii no Nasa himself, almost all members of the group immediately accessed this document.
What followed was a few seconds of silence.
Sōsuke Aizen: “I’m not sure how to describe it… The new member's powers are incredibly powerful on one hand, but the lack of control and uncontrollable aspects are somewhat comical on the other.”
Ainz Ooal Gown: “But he’s truly powerful, to directly change the world’s settings with a thought. Isn’t that practically a god?”
Hestia: “…Ahem, gods can’t actually do that, you know.”
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “That’s right. Real gods are always up early and working hard selling fried potato balls, how could they have the energy to change the world?”
Stinky Bean Sprout: “I want to eat fried potato balls.”
Hestia: “Ah, you guys—!”
Stinky Bean Sprout: “I really want to eat them.”
God of Tongue: “Then, Eri-chan, you go make some for him now, little Mirror.”
Stinky Bean Sprout: “Okay, thanks, Eri-chan!”
Love Coffee Jelly the Most: “…I just checked, this group points can actually fix my control over my abilities.”
Sōsuke Aizen: “Group points indeed have many uses. At least for now, it seems like they can do anything.”
Stinky Bean Sprout: “How many points are needed?”
Love Coffee Jelly the Most: “Hmm, complete control requires 150,000.”
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “New member’s got a long way to go. Even me and the little Group Leader have only accumulated about 20,000 points after half a year of daily sign-ins.”
Long way to go?
Kii no Nasa didn't feel disappointed; in fact, he was already satisfied.
After all, this was a glimmer of hope…
His powers were very strong, but they were also very difficult to control.
For example, basic x-ray vision. When a normal person thinks of x-ray vision, they probably associate it with suggestive content, right?
However, Kii no Nasa's x-ray vision not only saw through clothing, but also flesh and blood… in other words, when he looked casually down the street, all he saw was a pile of organs and skeletons. The most important thing was that this ability was passive!
Then there was telepathic divination. When Kii no Nasa touched an object, he would uncontrollably begin to read the object's past memories, forcing him to wear a transparent glove in his daily life.
In short, Kii no Nasa's powers basically all had flaws, just that they were problems of varying severity.

(Note: After opening a permanent passageway, you will no longer need to use points for travel.)】
The sudden announcement from the chat group stunned everyone.
Hestia: “The chat group can actually upgrade?!”
Ainz Ooal Gown: “Hmm, the points obtained from sign-ins have increased, that’s nice.”
Sōsuke Aizen: “The most important thing is that the exchange function has been updated.”
Love Coffee Jelly the Most: “Complete control over abilities still requires 150,000 points, but now you can separate them and control one ability for a small amount of points.”
Sword God Sodros: “!”
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “Oh, even Sodros has been alerted. It’s been a long time since you’ve appeared.”
Sword God Sodros: “… I’ve indeed been busy with my training recently. However, there’s a new member, I apologize for not welcoming him immediately.”
Stinky Bean Sprout: “I actually suspect that Sodros has been lurking around, after all, his group sign-in records haven’t been interrupted.”
God of Tongue: “It seems like that’s the case.”
World’s Greatest Swordsman: “@Sword God Sodros, Mr. Sodros, are you interested in trying out the Group Arena function?”
Sword God Sodros: “Of course.”
World’s Greatest Swordsman: “Then… shall we begin?”
Ding.
【World’s Greatest Swordsman has challenged Sword God Sodros to a Group Arena duel. Do you wish to watch the duel?】
…
I apologize for the past two days…
Starting tomorrow, I will resume regular updates. I’m truly sorry, everyone.
