Esper X Family – Chapter 335 – Four Hundred Thousand Point Nuke

Night.

In an empty stretch of wasteland on the outskirts, the night wind stirred up scattered dust.

A silver-haired girl, Ye Tong, stood in the center, the moonlight tracing a cold, sharp luster along the ends of her hair.

Mu Luo and the other members of Sequence Zero watched her from a spot not too far away.

They had no intention of getting closer.

To use Ye Tong’s own words.

They just needed to quietly watch her performance.

“Huu—” Ye Tong exhaled lightly, her gaze suddenly sharpening.

“Fission!”

The world’s most overpowered ability activated in an instant!

Whoosh!

An invisible storm erupted outward with her at its center.

The air twisted, and the gravel beneath her feet silently disintegrated into dust.

Ye Tong made no effort to conceal her surging power.

Her mental power value skyrocketed like a runaway horse.

Locking directly onto a terrifying peak that made space itself tremble: forty thousand!

A colossal force far exceeding that of an ordinary S-rank surged through her body, as if she could tear the heaven and earth apart with a mere gesture.

A confident smile spread across Ye Tong’s face.

Who in this world could still challenge her?

Perhaps only Lou Wei could, after his wind up.

But even then, only Lou Wei stood a chance.

A mere Sanctuary probably wasn’t qualified to make her use Apotheosis Mode.

Right now, Ye Tong had no intention of holding back.

She would keep the hundred unallocated attribute points in reserve, just in case of unexpected needs.

As long as there wasn’t anyone in the Sanctuary comparable to Lou Wei, there was no need to activate her backup hidden power.

If there really was someone in Sanctuary who could match Lou Wei, would they still be acting like rats?

It couldn’t be that they had an intelligence officer similar to Tu Sheng inside, right?

If someone in Sanctuary knew that there was a true, ridiculously overpowered individual wandering around outside, they might actually lie low for a while.

But it didn’t matter now.

Ye Tong was about to launch a fierce attack on Byron’s hiding place!

If he was really in the Sanctuary’s safe house, she would take them all out together!

It just so happened that the Ouroboros cycle inside her had completely shattered. After dealing with those guys, she could head back early.

“Hehe~ Watch me give you a big one!”

A mocking curve lifted the corner of Ye Tong’s mouth as she slowly raised her palm upward.

The surrounding light began to crazily converge toward her palm.

Forming a scorching white dot, initially only the size of a ping-pong ball, yet causing the surrounding space to groan under the unbearable strain.

“You like playing hide-and-seek with me? Fine, I’ll give you a ‘grand opening gift’ that leaves you nowhere to hide!”

A single light sphere with a value of four thousand condensed in her hand.

The next moment, nine spheres of the same level rapidly formed above her head.

Ten mental power spheres, each at the four thousand level, were the limit Ye Tong could condense in such a short time.

Perfectly adding up to forty thousand.

Although she could wait for her mental power to recover and squeeze out a few more, this should be more than enough.

Quantity: ten.

Myriad Things Fission!

The light spheres above her head seemingly multiplied.

Ten instantly multiplied into a hundred, completely violating the law of energy conservation.

The next second, Ye Tong willed them to merge into one.

The point of light expanded rapidly before visibly collapsing inward.

Each pulsation radiated devastating energy fluctuations.

The radiance grew brighter and brighter, almost like a sun rising into the night sky!

“Four hundred thousand… Mm, that’s about enough.”

Ye Tong looked at the now-stabilized light sphere in her palm with satisfaction.

Like a miniature star, it exuded a terrifying pressure.

The destructive force contained within was enough to completely vaporize the land beneath her feet, along with the concept of the nation it bore, from the geographical map.

Ye Tong was even confident enough to think that its power could rival the cataclysmic meteor that caused the dinosaurs’ extinction in ancient times.

She even began to feel that this might be overkill.

Dealing with the Sanctuary probably didn’t require something this exaggerated.

Who knew if that unknown independent space could withstand the explosion?

It might shatter instantly, leaking the remaining destructive power.

A little leakage might be manageable, but if it leaked completely, the planet would likely suffer an unwarranted catastrophe.

Ye Tong didn’t want to accidentally destroy the world.

It might be better to control the blast radius, to try and keep the power within an area.

If this thing targeted a planet, it could probably turn a vibrant, life-bearing planet into a massive fireball.

Ye Tong really started to doubt the truth of what Tu Sheng had implied.

Could it not be slander after all?

With such a huge “firecracker”, could she really accidentally destroy the world someday?

No.

She needed to get back and ask clearly. But first, she had to get rid of that despicable Sanctuary!

Even if she was going to destroy the world, she would destroy them first!

“Hmph! You ants, this is the real ‘Beacon’—a lighthouse illuminating your way to hell!”

The sphere in her hand illuminated the earth.

Like a blazing sun rising from the ground.

Even Sequence Zero and the others watching from a distance felt an instinctive fear of that power.

Yu Jin was utterly speechless.

The last time he was rescued, he wasn’t exactly conscious.

He hadn’t really grasped Ye Tong’s true caliber.

But seeing this scene while fully conscious now, he finally understood what “ridiculously overpowered” meant.

His own proud physique could definitely not withstand that!

He would be instantly vaporized upon contact!

Having such a “leader”… was truly awe-inspiring.

With her leading them, perhaps they really could go all the way in this line of work.

Ye Tong cast aside other thoughts, her eyes focused solely on the joy of crushing weaklings.

She loved overwhelming opponents with sheer numbers!

If they had the ability, they could try overwhelming her back. Let’s see whose numbers are higher!

The Sanctuary?

Just a bunch of insects hiding in the shadows, playing their little schemes.

In the face of absolute power, any scheming was just a joke.

Ye Tong couldn’t even be bothered to think about what tricks they might have. She would just crush her way through!

“System, consume 5 attribute points, tear open the void! Target: Byron’s current location!”

The command was given without hesitation.

【Attribute points deducted successfully. Remaining unallocated attribute points: 95】

【Anchoring space… Tearing through the void…】

An indescribably mighty force descended.

The space before Ye Tong silently shattered like fragile glass.

Revealing behind it a deep passage through the void, churning with chaotic energy.

At the end of the passageway.

Rеaԁ oո ΚаtReadіոɡСafе

A pitch-black space illuminated by eerie purple flames was visible.

Purple flames? Source Fire!

That old bastard Byron was really hiding with the Sanctuary!

Acting as a guide, huh?

Ye Tong almost wanted to laugh.

“Game over, small fries!”

Ye Tong’s smile widened, looking fierce and aggressive.

The pressure of her forty thousand mental power erupted without reservation!

She took a step forward, her figure instantly vanishing into the spatial rift.

That four hundred thousand mental power sphere, capable of erasing a planet, followed closely behind.

Like a sun of destruction held in her hand!

Inside the Sanctuary’s safe house.

Purple flames still danced eerily in the center.

The empty chairs stood like cold tombstones.

The Sanctuary Leader sat enthroned upon the shadowy throne, savoring the imminent fulfillment of their plan.

Byron, his will simmered by the Source Fire within, remained in a daze.

Suddenly—

Crack!!!
