Esper X Family – Chapter 221 – Clearing Out the Bystanders

Fang Ze immediately revoked the “Ability Nullification” Law.

Since the enemy could freely use their abilities despite the Law, there was no need for this restriction to remain.

However, “Spatial Solidification” could still be retained.

The fundamental logic of spatial abilities lies in manipulating the surrounding space to utilize power.

No matter what, one cannot generate spatial power on their own.

The effect of Spatial Solidification was almost identical to Fu Qi’s spatial disruption.

Its purpose was to restrict spatial Espers.

So what if they could use their abilities?

If they couldn’t escape, they would still die here!

In Fang Ze’s perception, his two S-rank colleagues were already entangled by opponents of the same level.

They were likely formal members of the Sanctuary.

Fang Ze was surprised that they had chosen to appear on such a large scale.

It seemed that they had gathered sufficient intelligence before making their move.

The consequence of the enemy obtaining intelligence was that he was now being targeted.

The two colleagues he had brought were also being restrained.

Local Espers might not be able to suppress the high-risk Sequence Espers after they went berserk.

If there were no other arrangements, the outcome would likely be catastrophic.

Fang Ze could spare some focus during the battle and use Law Space to support his allies.

Law Space could impose negative effects on enemies, so it could also apply positive effects to allies.

Either way, he would try to minimize the casualties as much as possible.

But that was in the most extreme scenario.

Fang Ze had just sensed the fluctuations of Sequence 014 taking action.

In the past, he might have thought that Sequence 014 was here to add fuel to the fire.

But after the cooperation agreement, he could reluctantly consider their group as trustworthy allies.

Thus, he immediately lifted the ability restrictions of Law Space.

The high-risk Sequence Espers, whose injuries were healing rapidly, were now furious.

They were always the ones launching surprise attacks.

This time, they had suffered a significant loss.

They couldn’t tolerate it!

The next moment, bursts of mental power erupted.

In the area visible to Fang Ze, dark green poison mist began to spread, and fierce flames rapidly extended.

“Law Space, prohibit the spread of poison gas and the expansion of flames!”

With two Laws enacted, the poison mist and flames were instantly confined to a single area, unable to advance even a millimeter further.

“Daring to divide your attention while fighting me? You’re too arrogant, Fang Ze. Fine then, it’ll make it easier for me to take your head.”

A sinister wave of mental power shot through the air.

Fang Ze intended to block it but found that his defenses had become incredibly fragile in a short span of time.

Upon collision, his mental power seemed to corrode instantly.

If he didn’t focus, he might suffer a loss!

He had no choice but to leave the rest of the battlefield to his local colleagues and Sequence Zero!

Ye Tong had already noticed the intense battle from above.

The sound of air tearing accompanied by terrifying sonic booms echoed above the city.

An orderly city descending into chaos within mere seconds.

The scene resembled Superman battling other Kryptonians ¹ Probably a reference to Man of Steel. , capable of casually dismantling the city in the process.

Ordinary people could only watch helplessly, at risk of dying from the aftermath at any moment.

“Mu Luo!” Ye Tong shouted.

“Here.”

“Clear out all the bystanders!”

“Yes.”

Mu Luo, who was wearing a faceguard, crouched down and placed his hands on the ground.

An invisible darkness spread out.

Those in the danger zone quickly felt something unusual beneath their feet.

People fleeing for their lives found themselves being swallowed by the pitch-black “earth”!

“Save me! Save me!”

“I don’t want to be eaten!”

“No! I want to keep watching this earth-shattering battle!”

“Let me watch! Even if I die, it’s worth it!”

Mu Luo paid no attention to their resistance or opinions.

Ye Tong had said to clear out the bystanders, which meant that she didn’t want to see anyone die in the chaos.

In just a few seconds, the figures scrambling like ants on a hot pan had all vanished from the danger zones, swallowed by the earth.

Mu Luo overloaded his Dark Erosion ability, bypassing Spatial Solidification by exploiting a loophole.

This wasn’t a method of manipulating space but rather storing people in a pre-existing “bag.”

Right now, the area where the high-risk Sequence Espers appeared was completely empty.

“Where are the people!? How am I supposed to kill!?”

Ye Tong nodded in satisfaction.

“Gu Wenxin, Xia Lian, handle those guys. Be careful of them going berserk and counterattacking.”

“Mm.”

“Roger that~”

Gu Wenxin leaped into the battlefield, and the great super effective warrior began harvesting heads.

With a smile, Xia Lian transformed into a streak of blood light to search for her target.

“Come out!”

Cremation, who had planned to burn the entire city to ashes, was now in a fit of helpless rage.

With everyone gone, what difference was there between his actions and those of a demolition crew?

“A bunch of ants! Come out and die obediently!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cremation felt the presence of death approaching.

He rolled away with all his might but was still a step too late.

A smooth cut appeared from his shoulder, almost reaching his abdomen.

For a regular Esper, this would undoubtedly be a fatal injury!

Fortunately, purple flames quickly ignited on Cremation’s flesh, healing him at an astonishing rate.

He was furious.

He glared at his attacker.

It was a cold-faced man.

The blade in his hand emitted a bone-chilling light.

As if the next attack would leave him with no place to bury his corpse.

“Don’t underestimate me!”

In his extreme anger, Cremation activated his trump card, “Death Rampage!”

Using a desperate move at full health!

Flames shot into the sky.

The enemy’s mental power surged at a terrifying rate, faintly crossing the treshold and surpassing his limits.

Gu Wenxin lightly tapped his blade on the ground.

As the enemy’s aura grew stronger.

The light emitted by the blade grew brighter.

As Ye Yao put it, Gu Wenxin’s basic attack multiplier increased with the enemy’s stats, with no damage reduction!

The stronger the enemy, the more malevolent the aura!

The more evil the person, the more powerful he became when their strength increased!

Gu Wenxin shot into the towering pillar of flames like a cannonball, no longer concerned about the injuries he might sustain.

Ye Tong glanced back at Mu Luo.

“You focus on clearing out the bystanders. I’m going to start my performance.”

“Got it.”

The black earth continued to devour people.

It was nighttime, and Mu Luo was in peak condition.

He was even in a breakthrough state, making it easier to push past his limits.

Ye Tong nodded in trust before slowly ascending into the air.

She was about to start her show!

The girl silently reached the clouds layer.

A ball of light formed in her palm.

Ye Tong nearly drained her mental power reserve, expending an immense amount.

But the moment her mental power hit rock bottom, it was instantly refilled.

The ouroboros cycle began to exert its power!

Under the cycle imposed by Wu Mi, Ye Tong had an infinite supply in her normal state!

One after another, balls of light appeared out of thin air.

The speed of their formation increased rapidly.

Until thirty spheres of light surrounded Ye Tong.

Each was an unfissioned creation with 150 units of mental power.

Ye Tong could have summoned more, but it was unnecessary.

She didn’t want to flatten the entire city.

“Myriad Things Fission.”

The thirty spheres of light rapidly fissioned and squared.

Nine hundred spheres of light floated around Ye Tong!
