Esper X Family – Chapter 305 – This Is My Final Mercy

Ye Tong let out a disdainful sound.

“The Yunited States is truly a small fry. I thought people from the Sanctuary would show up. I didn’t expect we could take out a sub-base so easily. Pathetic.”

Fang Ze desperately wanted to correct her perception on this.

The combat power of a single S-rank Esper was already enough to take out a small country without an S-rank stationed in defense.

This time, Sequence Zero had dispatched three S-rank combatants.

What was strange about taking out a base guarded by only one S-rank?

In his view, Sequence Zero was making a mountain out of a molehill.

There was no need to deploy that much force at all.

Even Mu Luo alone could probably take this place out just by slowly inching his way through it.

The overall level of Espers in the Yunited States wasn’t particularly high.

They seemed to have put their everything into weird anti-Esper technology.

Perhaps they had been suffocated and intimidated by the top-tier Espers of Dragon Country.

That was why they chose this unorthodox path, developing this technology more suited for internal strife.

The Yunited States were the most advanced in things like special pharmaceuticals.

So much so that even Dragon Country couldn’t hold a candle to them.

As for how these research results came about… better not to ask.

Just ask if the potency is fierce or not.

They could even mass-produce S-rank Espers, albeit by relying on luck.

As for the actual strength of these Espers, it was rather inflated.

After all, most of them were boosted high by drugs.

It was considered a success if they didn’t ascend to Planet Steroid.

Ye Tong also understood this logic.

Perhaps it wasn’t that the Yunited States was too weak, but that Sequence Zero was a bit too overpowered.

Even without counting her, the cheat code.

Mu Luo and the others were also far beyond conventional Espers.

They were all from the higher Sequences, their Esper abilities innately noble by birth.

Ye Tong shifted her gaze to the ground.

Yu Jin had already been swallowed by the shadows at his feet.

Mu Luo had taken everyone away.

There were likely no survivors left in the Sentinel sub-base either.

With Gu Wenxin around, there was no worry about anyone who deserved to die slipping through the net.

And with Mu Luo also present, there was equally no worry about anyone who needed rescuing being left behind.

Now, it was her turn to make an appearance.

“This crappy base looks like it could still be rebuilt. Let me just level it to the ground.”

Ye Tong spoke lightly, as casually as if she was kicking a pebble off the roadside.

Fang Ze couldn’t help but twitch an eyebrow.

“What are you going to do?”

“Nothing much. Just cleaning up the scene.”

As soon as the words fell.

Ye Tong raised one small hand.

There was no need to use Attribute Fission at all.

Let’s just do twenty times twenty times one hundred ¹ 20 × 20 × 100 = 40,000 .

Ye Tong casually condensed twenty light spheres, each with a mental power allocation of one hundred.

As for why it wasn’t the current maximum of two hundred?

Her main body’s current mental power was exactly two hundred.

Fang Ze was still watching from the side. She didn’t want him to start guessing.

“This is…?”

Fang Ze had indeed been watching closely.

He looked puzzled as he glanced at the twenty light spheres Ye Tong had condensed.

What could such weak mental power fluctuations possibly do?

Forget about destroying much of the area.

Can they even kill anyone?

Fang Ze estimated that he could probably shrug them off without feeling a thing.

But the next second.

The number of these mental power spheres instantly increased exponentially.

In the blink of an eye, they became a full four hundred spheres!

Immediately after, these spheres coalesced into a single point, transforming into a mental power nuke with a total value of forty thousand!

Fang Ze watched the terrifying energy fluctuations with an unchanged expression, but his mind was already churning with shock.

He took back that thought he just had.

He wouldn’t be able to withstand it. It would kill people.

What kind of divine technique is this?

Could any S-rank Esper condense that many mental power spheres in such a short time?

Wait, Lou Wei might be able to.

But for a conventional S-rank Esper, this was the least cost-effective method of attack.

After all, exhausting yourself in one go would only result in a number of spheres equivalent to one’s own mental power limit.

In other words, those with five thousand mental power could only condense an attack of five thousand.

The drain on yourself was enormous.

To condense a stronger force, one could only wait for mental power to recover naturally.

But usually, the rate of mental power recovery couldn’t keep up with the speed of power condensation.

Condensing mental power spheres totaling tens of thousands in a short time was simply not something a conventional S-rank Esper could do.

Rather than slowly charging up for one nuclear attack, it was far more cost-effective to just use your Esper ability directly.

By the time you finished charging, the enemy would have already finished you off.

Yet, Ye Tong’s operation directly changed Fang Ze’s perspective.

Rеaԁ оո KаtRеaԁіոɡСafе

Regardless of cost-effectiveness.

If the numbers could simply crush through, then it was a valid method of attack.

Ye Tong’s strength was enough for her to ignore the conventional combat experience of S-rank Espers.

The massive light sphere in her hand represented a lifetime’s worth of power for most S-rank Espers!

“Hmm~ Although the power could be even greater, this should be enough.”

This relaxed tone reached Fang Ze’s ears, sending a chill down his spine.

That wasn’t even her limit!?

Could she destroy the world right now?

Ye Tong had no time to bother with the other party’s wild speculations.

What she needed to do was destroy the very foundations of the Yunited States.

There were too many sinful things within the Sentinel base.

They couldn’t be allowed to be recovered and reused by the Yunited States.

Ye Tong compressed the huge light sphere above her head to the size of an orange, letting it hover just above her palm, its brightness terrifyingly high.

Such a luminous object was exceptionally conspicuous in the night sky.

Especially while hovering at a high altitude.

Any Esper with decent eyesight could quickly spot this anomalous light source.

No one would ever imagine that this small, delicate thing contained enough energy to destroy everything.

Fang Ze’s eyelid twitched again.

What’s with this astonishing energy control technique?

Is she even human?

If anyone else tried to compress to this degree, they would only end up blowing themselves to bits.

Ignoring Fang Ze, Ye Tong flew directly to a point right above the Sentinel sub-base.

Below was a half-destroyed ruin.

It seemed that the power supply for the base’s barrier was right next to that Anti-Superhuman Device.

After the power supply device exploded, almost the entire base was paralyzed.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

No one needed those facilities anymore.

Ye Tong could vaguely make out many lifeless corpses inside the base.

Their deaths were clean and efficient, with no unnecessary wounds on their bodies.

Even if Ye Tong did nothing, someone would probably come to collect their bodies.

What they would do with the corpses was anyone’s guess.

The upper echelons of the Yunited States had never had much of a moral bottom line.

Things that shattered the lower limits of human understanding could be found here.

It was definitely not a good thing for ordinary people to live in this country.

The same went for corpses.

Not only were the living exploited for value.

Even the dead would have their last drop of value squeezed out.

Rather than having their corpses taken for all sorts of experiments.

It was better to just cleanly vanish into dust.

At least that was more dignified.

Ye Tong held the light sphere, her gaze detached and utterly unconcerned.

Then, with a flip of her hand, she let the sphere fall, dragged down by gravity.

Its free-fall motion in the dark night was like the fall of a star.

Beautiful and dreamlike.

“Take it. This is my final mercy.”
