Esper X Family – Chapter 304 – Dazzling Fireworks

On the ground.

The commander inside the base stared dumbfoundedly at the figure plastered against the energy barrier.

And so did everyone else, all utterly speechless.

How could this be?

The base’s top fighter had actually been beaten to such a state?

He couldn’t even hold out for long!

Just who the hell is this intruder?!

“Continue full suppressive fire! Don’t stop! Deploy all heavy vehicles to buy time! Once the Anti-Superhuman Device is fully charged, everything will be fine!”

The people inside the base still didn’t know Yu Jin’s true capabilities.

Barton, who was defeated in such a short time, had no chance to relay the crucial intelligence.

The base’s detection systems were deceived by the black armor covering Yu Jin.

The energy fluctuations they seemingly detected were merely reactions from the black armor.

Even if the Anti-Superhuman Device activated successfully, it wouldn’t be able to stop Yu Jin’s rampage.

Unfortunately, they were unaware of that.

Just as Yu Jin was unleashing a storm of destruction on the frontal battlefield, drawing the entire base’s firepower and attention…

Two figures quietly infiltrated the interior of the Sentinel sub-base.

Mu Luo maintained his usual operational style, showing no intention of revealing himself.

Their objective was exceptionally clear.

The “secret weapon” located deep within the base’s core, three levels underground.

That complex apparatus, emitting a cold blue light like a giant neural nexus.

It could release a special force field covering the entire battlefield.

Enough to briefly paralyze all conventional Espers within its range.

It was undoubtedly one of the Sentinel Organization’s deadliest weapons against Espers.

Besides that…

Mu Luo naturally had another objective.

To rescue the people imprisoned deep within the base.

He had always disliked such confinement.

After all, he even disapproved of the restricted zone model used by the Countermeasures Bureau.

Let alone the Yunited States’ treatment that didn’t regard people as human.

Once he saw it, he had to intervene. If anyone wanted to leave, he would take them away.

During Mu Luo’s intelligence gathering, he had heard many cries for help.

The obsession that had been somewhat alleviated by Ye Yao flooded his mind once more at that moment.

He could tolerate himself remaining in the darkness, but he couldn’t tolerate others being forced to fall into it.

When infiltrating the Countermeasures Bureau before, he had merely quietly taken people away.

But now, while infiltrating this Yunited States base, he would not only take people away but also level this place to the ground!

However, before that, he had to destroy the so-called Anti-Superhuman Device.

That massive structure couldn’t be destroyed remotely.

A small force field surrounded it like a self-protection mechanism, preventing ability constructs from approaching.

Even the maintenance personnel were ordinary people without abilities.

To destroy it, one had to get close.

The underground core area was heavily guarded.

But at this moment, most guards had been dispatched to the brutal and desperate frontal battlefield on the surface.

Those remaining were mostly technical personnel adjusting data.

At this time, the Anti-Superhuman Device was charging rapidly.

The commander’s excited, urging voice came through the broadcast into everyone’s ears.

The technicians were sweating profusely in their panic.

“Almost there! Thirty seconds until fully charged!”

“Excellent! Once the force field covers the battlefield, that damned intruder will be a lamb waiting for slaughter!”

But unfortunately.

No one would give them the chance.

Gu Wenxin’s figure flitted past like a ghost, the cold gleam of his blade piercingly bright.

Even within the range of the device’s force field, the physical prowess of S-rank Espers wouldn’t vanish.

Gu Wenxin swiftly perceived the dark nature within these people’s hearts.

He showed no mercy.

The few remaining guards had no time to react. In an instant, cold light flashed, and heads rolled before they could even see their attacker.

He didn’t spare the personnel operating the equipment either.

Blood splattered.

Apart from the hum of machinery, no other sound remained on the scene.

Only one older-looking technician was left.

He stared blankly at the scene.

“God… have you finally sent someone to judge us?”

In Gu Wenxin’s eyes, this person’s aura of sin was much fainter than the others’.

Not enough to warrant forgiveness, but enough to grant him temporary survival to serve his final purpose.

Mu Luo appeared soundlessly before him, his gaze deep and filled with oppressive intensity.

“Stop this thing.”

The technician understood his meaning and nodded with a numb expression.

He had been forced to participate in these projects.

Having knowledge and no ability didn’t exempt him.

When he came to his senses, he had discovered that his research was being used by those “demons” who deserved hell to commit many sinful acts.

He had been waiting for retribution to come.

Now, it had finally arrived.

“I will destroy this thing. This country is beyond saving. I hope you can bring it a new beginning.”

The old technician operated with fierce intensity, activating a backdoor left within the device.

Vrrrrm—SCREEEEEECH!!!

Reaⅾ on КatRеаԁiոgСafе

The massive blue core suddenly erupted with a shrill, teeth-grating shriek.

The machine body trembled violently.

The energy circuits covering its surface instantly shifted from a stable dark blue to a chaotic crimson!

Countless fine electrical arcs madly jumped within.

The suppression force field emitted by the device instantly destabilized and collapsed like a punctured balloon!

The massive energy overload caused it to let out a final mournful cry like a dying behemoth.

Mu Luo’s eyes sharpened, and he swiftly pulled Gu Wenxin away.

The effect of the Anti-Superhuman Device was completely nullified.

Its function of suppressing the spread of mental power vanished along with it.

Gu Wenxin could finally clear the area on a large scale.

“Judgment!”

Mental power rapidly surged.

All lifeforms within the base were marked.

For those whose sin value judgment exceeded the execution threshold, a flash of their life’s memories appeared in their minds.

As if swinging an invisible blade, Gu Wenxin executed them all.

Those he had filtered out were all dragged into isolated Dark Erosion Spaces by the shadows Mu Luo spread out.

By now, the Anti-Superhuman Device had reached its limit.

Its core suddenly imploded inward.

Then, it erupted into a blinding sphere of energy.

BOOM!!!

A violent explosion erupted from underground, shooting skyward!

The sturdy floor was torn apart by the violent force.

A blinding blue-white energy pillar, mixed with thick smoke and debris, rose to the sky.

Forming a massive crater on the surface!

The entire base’s above-ground structures shook violently.

The Sentinel sub-base’s most crucial and most reliable defensive pillar was utterly destroyed in the earth-shattering explosion!

On the surface battlefield.

Yu Jin, who was crushing the head of a heavy mech with one hand, slightly turned his helmeted visor.

Seemingly “glancing” at the soaring energy pillar.

Beneath his impassive helmet, no one knew if a trace of indifference flickered.

Or perhaps it was a sense of cathartic pleasure.

But his movements didn’t pause in the slightest.

He merely tossed aside the wrecked mech remnant in his hand like trash.

The heavy metal smashed and collapsed another defensive position.

The base’s alarms continued their piercing wails.

But the meaning they carried had shifted from a simple intrusion alert to the hopeless wail of irrevocable collapse.

If the front was an unstoppable, violent crushing.

Then the destruction of the core was a silent, fatal strike.

Mu Luo and his group presented Ye Tong, who was watching the show, with a dazzling fireworks display.

They also thoroughly enraged most of the ruling powers in the Yunited States.

Ye Tong made a sound of relish.

“Not bad. I have to give them extra chicken legs when this is done.”

Author Note

It’s terrible! The new bed I bought for my big fat dog was mistakenly taken by someone else in the package. They opened the box and contacted me, offering to compensate me and buy me a new one. But with Chinese New Year approaching, the seller isn’t shipping it anymore. My big fat dog will have to spend the Spring Festival sleeping on this broken, worn-out bed.
