Esper X Family – Chapter 251 – I’ll Confiscate It

Ye Yao turned her gaze to the group of people floating in the air.

There was no need for her to take action personally.

With just a thought, she could erase these evildoers from existence.

Not even a trace would remain.

But Ye Yao had a different idea.

She locked onto those who were confirmed to be Yunited States Espers.

Those without morals didn’t deserve such lofty power.

With her mental power exceeding 200,000, her perception transcended even dimensions, allowing her to see the essence of their abilities.

There were many Espers within the Yunited States base.

They might have gathered from across the nation, or perhaps they were forcibly created through technological means.

After all, anyone with a mental power exceeding 10 could awaken their ability.

In that brief moment of perception, Ye Yao discovered a wealth of research data from the Yunited States.

Among them, the “Holy Blood” filled her with both physical and psychological disgust.

It was enough to prove the Yunited States’ peak mastery of both technology and ruthless methods.

They had already mastered the means to mass-produce Espers.

Even the mental power of their ordinary soldiers exceeded single digits.

Once a regular person became an Esper, it would be a leap to another level entirely.

The gap between them was far greater than that between ancient nobility and commoners.

Enhanced memory would allow them to grasp more knowledge.

Superior physical strength and metabolism would render them tireless.

Needless to say, the high-ranking officials and capitalists of the Yunited States would become even more decadent after becoming Espers.

Now, Ye Yao was going to strip them of their hope.

After ascending to godhood, she could perceive the power of abilities fused within the human body.

To be precise, it was a mental power cluster that existed beyond the physical realm.

Ye Yao had an intuition.

Rеаⅾ оո КаtRеаԁіոɡCаfе

She could easily strip them of all this power.

“You don’t deserve this power. I’ll confiscate it.”

The divinity in Ye Yao’s eyes gradually returned.

She clenched her fist.

The mental power of countless Espers were stripped away.

Whether they were A-rank, B-rank, C-rank, or D-rank Espers, she treated them all equally.

Even the three S-rank Espers who were like stray dogs on the roadside fell within the scope of her confiscation.

If normal person’s mental power was 5.

And exceeding 10 would turn them into an Esper.

Ye Yao stripped away all those excess mental power.

Leaving only the bare minimum required for humans to survive, while ensuring that they wouldn’t drop to zero and die instantly.

In Apotheosis Mode, she could do whatever she wanted!

As for why she didn’t directly take their lives…

Old Gu needed to change maps.

Ye Yao was responsible for destroying their spirits.

Old Gu would naturally take care of destroying their bodies.

Ye Yao would never monopolize the gold coins for herself.

This glory would be shared by all!

In an instant.

Ye Yao destroyed the foundation of these Yunited States Espers.

Their abilities were completely disabled.

Their mental power dropped to 2 or 3 points, even weaker than ordinary people.

Even if they went to great lengths to take drugs, it was unlikely that they would ever become Espers again.

As for the Espers scattered across the other regions of the Yunited States…

She would leave them for Old Gu to level up.

Every single one of the elites in this country had a touch of evil on them.

Rеαԁ оn КatReαdiոɡCafе

This statement might be too absolute.

But there wouldn’t be many innocent people among them.

Ye Yao didn’t believe in the superheroes from Yunited States movies.

Whether they were good or evil, she would leave that for the professional to judge.

Ye Yao’s only concern was sticking close to her beloved family members and slacking off on the side.

“It’s over.”

After finishing her task, Ye Yao re-embedded the “island” that had risen from the ground back into the earth.

The intricate steel fortress had already been dismantled.

The moment she finished dismantling it, the system’s voice echoed in her mind.

【Mission Complete: Private Xia Lian successfully rescued. Reward: 10 attribute points.】

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 30】

The end of the mission also signaled the impending deactivation of Family Hero Mode.

Ye Yao could feel it, her thoughts quickly becoming active again.

In that brief moment of bullet time, she pondered many things.

“Old Jiang’s painting was destroyed, Wu Mi’s ouroboros cycle exploded, and I might have even exposed a bit of my true self beneath the alt account. All in all, it feels like a net loss.”

Ye Yao was thinking of ways to make up for it.

If she returned to normal while still maintaining her black mist form, it would only raise more suspicions and potentially accelerate the collapse of her daily life.

She needed to find a way to bury her head in the sand.

Her current omnipotent form was the result of a combination of the system and her ability.

She couldn’t use it normally.

In this state, she could definitely do more.

How could she only be capable of destruction?

Ye Yao surveyed the battlefield.

She took out a painting that was only left with its lower half. The upper half seemed to have been erased, leaving no trace behind.

This painting still retained a bit of Jiang Huashen’s ability power.

Reаd оո КatRеadiոɡСаfе

Perhaps it could be salvaged.

With the boundless power of Apotheosis Mode, anything was worth a try!

Ye Yao made her decision in an instant.

Since the fissioned mental power would disappear after the fission was undone.

She could only resynthesize the free energy in the air into a usable form.

Then, she poured it all into the painting.

It was like drawing a tiger based on a cat, trying to fill in the missing lines and colors.

She could at least manage a simple imitation.

“Hmm, I can’t draw the details, and I don’t know how to apply the colors. Let’s just create a vague ‘big shot’ image first, then add some white light to cover up the flaws. As long as I don’t revert to a loli, it’s a success.”

As for Wu Mi’s ouroboros cycle.

Ye Yao had sensed its shattering when she ascended to godhood.

Fortunately, Wu Mi’s cycle was hidden deeper, so it wasn’t immediately dissolved.

During her ascension, Ye Yao had temporarily stabilized the broken cycle with her over 200,000 mental power.

With such a high value, she could obviously do more.

Not only could she confiscate abilities like a god.

She could also brute-force a repair on a half-destroyed ability construct.

It might not be a perfect fix, but it should work in an emergency.

Ye Yao’s approach was like taping something broken together.

As long as it worked, it was fine.

Ye Yao deactivated Attribute Fission.

The ouroboros cycle was barely held together with “tape” as it continued to function within her.

Although it was unclear how long it would last.

As for Old Jiang’s painting, it reverted back to Ye Yao.

Her black mist form was simultaneously deactivated.

But her appearance underwent a drastic change.

Her silver hair now floated around her like glowing ribbons.

Reαⅾ оn ΚаtReаⅾіngСαfе

Streams of light replaced her hair strands, giving her an ethereal appearance.

Her face was obscured by a blur of light, revealing only a pair of emotionless purple eyes.

Her entire body was enveloped in light.

No details were discernible.

She would undoubtedly become the center of attention when placed anywhere.

Her body size remained unchanged.

She still appeared to be in the form of a young girl.

But in this state, she resembled a mythical god in the eyes of Westerners.

In Ye Yao’s perception, some time had passed.

But in reality, only a brief moment had elapsed.

In the footage captured by the satellite cameras.

Fu Qi and Lou Wei had just seen the base firing at full capacity, only for it to become a pitiful ruin the next second.

It was as if someone had cut out the crucial frames of a video.

Not even Zangief edits ¹ Apparently it was a thing for a while. I can’t find explanations of it on forums, but I did watch a vid and can confirm that there are indeed a lot of cuts. Btw Zangief is from Street Fighter, and the videos are just matches with lots of cuts. could be that exaggerated!

“What happened?”

Fu Qi sucked in a sharp breath.

“I don’t know.”

Lou Wei wasn’t on the scene, so he couldn’t analyze the cause of this phenomenon.

The only thing he knew was that the matter had come to a definitive end.
