Esper X Family – Chapter 296 – Turns Out I Am Killer Queen

Unfortunately, Xia Lian was completely fixed in place beside Ye Yao.

It was easy to build a family, but it seems difficult to tear one apart.

At the very least, Ye Yao didn’t have anyone she wanted to part from right now.

They were all precious sources of attribute points!

“Sigh, it looks like there’s no fun left.”

Ye Yao felt a bit downcast.

According to An Qi, those who formed a family with her had effectively paid their protection fees.

Even the fate line of someone as weak as Fang Tang might not be able to be interfered with.

That meant any pranks aimed at family members like Fu Qi and Fang Ze could only be achieved through primitive methods.

Methods like interfering with fate could only be applied to those who were not family.

Ye Yao turned to look at An Qi.

“An Qi, can you still observe those chaotic fate lines?”

“Of course…”

An Qi closed her eyes, letting her consciousness dive into deep meditation.

She could only observe a large number of fate lines in this state.

The scene in her mind was quite similar to those in her previous dreams.

Chaotic, tangled threads were everywhere.

But An Qi’s situation was completely different now.

Originally, she too was trapped in the torrent of fate. But now, someone had provided her with protection.

No matter what, she would no longer be ensnared.

The next moment.

Ye Yao’s projection appeared in An Qi’s mind.

The Familial Love Value function still retained her special interaction button with An Qi.

As long as she used【Spiritual Synchronization】, she could enjoy part of An Qi’s ability.

For instance, the ability to observe fate lines.

“Sure enough, looking at this scene for the second time still gives me a headache.”

Ye Yao covered her head, feeling much like seeing several wired earphones tangled together.

Rеad on KαtReаdіոɡСаfe

A real headache.

If she had to untangle them, she would probably snap and cut them all.

In games, Ye Yao could only manage simple combos.

Asking her to deal with such complex matters would be worse than killing her.

“An Qi, can you still find those fate lines that are emitting black aura?”

“…I’m looking.”

An Qi made a sound of effort.

To help Ye Yao, and to repay the debt of saving her life, she forced herself to adapt quickly to this scene.

In the past, she wouldn’t have been able to adapt so quickly.

This was also a drawback brought by the explosive growth of her mental power.

There was no buffer time for such a sudden increase.

Searching through so many fate lines to find a few unusual ones was still time-consuming.

Each scan of mental power cost her quite a bit of time to filter through.

A while later.

“I found one.”

An Qi’s tone was full of confidence, no longer intending to simply avoid it.

Now that someone was backing her, there was nothing to fear.

At this moment, the fate line emitting black aura was hiding among a large number of threads.

At first glance, it didn’t stand out.

Only the occasional abnormal black aura it emitted raised alarms.

If not observed closely, it was easy to overlook.

An Qi could feel the strength of the owner of this fate line.

Interfering with this person’s fate would definitely not be simple.

“Let me take a look.”

Ye Yao leaned in curiously, also seeing that somewhat special fate line.

It did look like it was full of villainous elements.

The black aura it emitted resembled a Ten Thousand Soul Banner ¹ Standard weapon of evil cultivators in the early stages of Xianxia novels. As the name suggested, they’re made of 10,000 souls. Basically screams “Look, this guy is super evil he killed 10k people!”. .

One look and you could tell it wasn’t a good thing.

“An Qi, can you tell what its nature is? How much mental power will it take to interfere?”

“Uh, it seems to involve many things. Even if my mental power is increased, I might only be able to add a few twists and turns…”

Simply put, it couldn’t be cut off.

At least, that was the feedback from her observation.

If it could be cut off, An Qi would definitely have sensed it.

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.

“Then it seems like this is the fate line of a Sanctuary member. As expected, they’re hiding significant secrets.”

She had initially thought about using “Encouragement” to boost An Qi’s confidence and make a big move against the Sanctuary behind the scenes.

But now, it seemed that it might not be that simple.

The other party seemed to have made some preparations in this regard.

Ye Yao narrowed her eyes at the line that was continuously harming others’ fates.

Could it really not be interfered with?

Not necessarily.

Just because An Qi couldn’t interfere didn’t mean she couldn’t.

After all, she was the future strongest!

How could a mere Sanctuary compare to the weight of her fate?

Let’s give it a try and see if I can snap it.

In the state of Spiritual Synchronization, since she could observe, perhaps she could interfere with it too.

She’s a family with a hundred points of Familial Love Value.

What harm could using her ability do?

Having thought this, Ye Yao floated over and reached out her little hand, trying to touch it.

At the same time.

In reality.

A Sanctuary member who was quietly spreading a disease suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He was struck by a sudden premonition of doom!

For a powerful Esper, a bad premonition was no empty fear.

Something was definitely wrong!

Someone was targeting him!

“Not good! The plan has changed! Retreat!”

The Sanctuary member decisively halted his actions.

The next moment, purple flames engulfed him, instantly burning him into ashes.

In reality, he had actually used Spatial Escape to transfer to a safe location.

However, after leaving that original spot, he didn’t feel sufficiently secure.

The racing sensation in his heart didn’t dissipate.

The ominous premonition still persisted.

This heightened his terror to its peak.

How is this possible!?

What kind of ability is this!?

Even spatial abilities can’t escape the lock!?

Just who is targeting me!?

At this moment.

Ye Yao’s small hand had already touched that black fate line.

An unexpected event occurred.

At the moment her fingertip made contact with the fate line.

It erupted with intense light.

Logically, fate lines could only be interfered with through special means.

They shouldn’t be viewed like physical threads in reality.

But Ye Yao’s touch this time was like delivering a physical blow.

With a “bang” .

The other party’s fate line instantly snapped.

It was like a dimensional reduction attack.

Like a toy under a hydraulic press.

Meanwhile, in reality.

The Sanctuary member whose fate line was destroyed didn’t suffer any convoluted setbacks.

The gnawing sensation in his heart not only didn’t vanish but instead surged to its peak!

His pupils constricted suddenly as he wanted to activate his ability again to escape, instinctively letting out a cry.

But it was all too late.

His body suddenly stiffened, seemingly gripped by an invisible giant hand.

Then, his body swelled up like a rapidly inflating balloon!

As if struck by an indescribable force!

“Uh… gh…”

The Sanctuary member could only emit choked sounds from his throat.

Terror solidified on his distorted face.

The next second.

BOOM—!!!

A deep, resounding explosion sounded.

Purple flames burst forth, like a blooming flower of flames.

No trace of any human remains was left at the scene.

Only the lingering purple embers in the air testified that there had once been something here.

An S-rank Esper was thus erased from the world.

Within the fate space.

Ye Yao blinked, looking at the collapsing fate line in front of her, lost in thought.

“Turns out I am Killer Queen ² A stand in Jojo Part 4 with the ability to turn anything it touches into a bomb. The Chinese translation of it is 杀手皇后, which translates to “Assassin Empress”. The few mentions of “empress” in the previous and current chapter is probably to set this up, but it’s sadly lost in translation. .”
