Esper X Family – Chapter 125 – Sigh, Can We Reconcile?

“Is this your decision? Fine, I respect it.”

Lou Wei showed a flicker of emotion at the sudden surge in Sequence 008’s mental power but quickly regained his composure.

Ye Yao suddenly felt that something was off.

Lou Wei is actually so calm?

Although this cheap old man of hers had always kept his emotions hidden…

When facing an enemy of equal strength, shouldn’t he at least feel a bit of pressure?

But it didn’t matter.

Ye Yao had never expected to completely crush the Dayun Truck anyway.

She was well aware of the gap between a rookie with pure numbers and a seasoned veteran with battle-hardened stats.

Just being able to hold her own was good enough.

In Ye Yao’s expectations, she needed to at least hold on for a decent amount of time!

Otherwise, this surge of over ten thousand in stats would have been for nothing.

“Make your move.”

Ye Yao was ready.

Formidable mental power enveloped her body, making her as solid as a fortress.

With such powerful stats, even Lou Wei would find it difficult to break through her defenses.

Right now, Lou Wei was alone.

There was no Xiao Jing, the “stat amplifier”.

And there was no Cheng Muxue’s attribute centralization.

It wasn’t a mixed doubles ¹ One male one female team in sports. match against both parents.

The advantage was with Ye Yao!

“This place isn’t suitable as a battlefield.”

Lou Wei spoke calmly.

Even an altitude of ten thousand meters wasn’t enough to serve as a battlefield for two top-tier S-rank Espers.

“You pick the location. I’m in a hurry.”

Ye Yao could only maintain her fission state for a maximum of ten minutes.

She couldn’t afford to drag this out.

She was ready to go all out.

After all, it was just a fission body.

Since it wasn’t her main body, it was meant for desperate struggles and pushing beyond limits.

Lou Wei nodded.

A gust of wind carried his message to those on the ground.

The next moment, a fierce wind swept the two of them away, hurtling them through the sky at a speed surpassing that of a meteor.

On the ground, Fang Ze received Lou Wei’s message.

“There will be some commotion over the ocean later. Inform the higher-ups at the Countermeasures Bureau to not act rashly.”

Fang Ze fell into deep thought.

While pondering, he relayed Lou Wei’s message to the higher-ups.

“Lou Wei, what are you planning?

Does dealing with Sequence 008 require this much trouble?”

Choosing such a vast location as the ocean meant that Lou Wei was preparing to enter his combat form.

Once he became serious.

Even the residual effects of his power could bring catastrophic damage to the nation.

He could only wait for Lou Wei to return before asking for the details.

When Ye Yao regained her senses, she found herself surrounded by the ocean.

There was no trace of land as far as the eye could see.

“This place is indeed suitable.”

Ye Yao voiced her satisfaction, her gaze fixed on Lou Wei.

“Come on, let me see how strong the strongest of the current era really is.

The gap between us isn’t that wide anymore. Before, it was your era.

But now… I have a slight doubt about whether you’re still stronger than me.

Don’t disappoint me.”

Right now, Ye Yao was brimming with confidence.

It was the first time she had such high stats, and it wasn’t in an unstable form like the “Family Hero” mode.

How could she not be a little arrogant?

Right now, even if a dog passed by, Ye Yao might feel like kicking it.

Her harsh words weren’t insincere in the slightest.

They were all genuine!

Today, she was determined to vent all the frustration she had endured at the Dayun Truck’s hands!

Lou Wei walked on the empty air.

The waves below churned violently.

The ocean was often the best place to brew a storm.

Many storms that had caused massive damage to human civilization were born on the sea.

Lou Wei didn’t speak further.

For him, taking this seriously was a sign of respect for Sequence 008, and also a recognition of Sequence 001’s importance.

“Thundercloud Tempest ² 云yun (cloud) 闪shan (lightning/flash/dodge) 风暴 (windstorm/tempest) It took me a good while to come up with a decent name. .”

The sky darkened at a visible rate.

Strong winds howled.

And terrifying mental power enveloped the area like a torrential downpour.

At the same time, at the meteorological bureau.

The satellite map displayed the typhoon’s massive eye ³ Hurricane Matthew (2016). I picked this one because it’s famous for looking like a skull. .

It looked like the eye of a demon on Earth.

The staff nearly popped their eyes out.

“This can’t be right! What’s going on!? This doesn’t align with meteorology! Professor! Professor! Come quick! Something terrible is happening!!!”

Meanwhile, residents of coastal cities looked up at the sky in confusion.

“What’s going on? There’s not a single cloud. It’s a rare clear sky~”

“Today’s weather is perfect. I should hurry and take out the blankets to sun them.”

At this moment, no one realized the severity of the situation.

After all, there were no alerts.

If a natural disaster was approaching, there would usually be an advance notice.

Rеаԁ οո ΚαtRеαԁіոɡСаfе

At the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

Several technical staff members were using satellite surveillance to monitor the situation at sea.

On the meteorological map, all small typhoons that were brewing or had already formed were being devoured.

Only a massive eye remained on the ocean.

If this were a naturally occurring typhoon on Earth, it would undoubtedly be recorded as the greatest typhoon in history!

Once it made landfall ⁴ Term for a storm reaching land from water. , it would bring apocalyptic destruction.

“The wind speed has far exceeded Category 17 ⁵ Normal scales maxed out at 5. , and the energy is still rising.”

Emergency calls were coming in from all directions.

It was clear that this sudden anomaly had alarmed many.

Lou Wei’s decision had been too swift.

The speed of information dissemination couldn’t keep up with his actions.

Currently, a bunch of staff were scrambling to answer calls and explain the situation.

“Is Lou Wei really making such a big deal out of this?

Does he even know how much manpower and resources it takes to reassure other countries?”

“As long as there’s a legitimate reason, it’s fine. He’s not the type to act recklessly. He must have his own considerations.”

The decision-makers at headquarters were paying close attention to the situation at sea.

This was Lou Wei’s rare combat form.

Ever since he reached his peak, he had never once been serious.

Right now, this display of terrifying power didn’t frighten them. On the contrary, it brought them reassurance.

Look.

This kind of power is in the hands of civilization.

In the hands of the righteous.

As long as it’s not a disaster beyond comprehension…

Human civilization shall endure forever.

By now, the sea surface was pitch black.

The terrifying storm made the ocean tremble like a frightened child.

The churning waves seemed like the ocean’s response to the storm.

All marine life had dove deep.

Fish that couldn’t dive in time were swept into the air by the storm.

Rain and lightning coexisted.

A bolt of lightning struck the sea.

The burst of light made the figure cloaked in black mist appear insignificant.

Can’t see.

Can’t see anything at all.

The mental power storm had completely cut off all extrasensory perception.

The typhoon had swept all the clouds over.

Even with the naked eye, it was hard to see anything.

Ye Yao felt like prey that had fallen into a trap.

Her stats, which had soared to ten thousand, seemed like a mere decoration.

Looking at the figure standing still at the center of the storm…

His aura is still rising!

【Ability: Wind Rising and Clouds Gathering

Mental Power: 10,125…… 12,799…… 25,325…… 32,500……】

【Lou Wei used the domain “Thundercloud Tempest” to surpass his own limits.

By harnessing the planet’s energy, he entered the “Celestial Form”.】

【Lou Wei deemed that your threat level is too high. Other Countermeasures Bureau Espers likely couldn’t threaten you anymore.

To temper your arrogance and prevent your overwhelming power from leading you astray, he decided to erase your overconfidence.

And make you realize that there is always someone stronger, always a higher sky above.】

Sigh, can we reconcile?

Ye Yao glanced at her stats.

Then, she turned to look at Lou Wei, who had transformed from a Dayun Truck into a Cybertronian.

It’s over!

Those are fraudulent stats!!!

Kids, I’ve been scammed!
