Esper X Family – Chapter 339 – What a Huge Loss!

No extra attribute points gained, and on top of that, a loss of 5 points?

Ye Yao was anxious.

Panic, panic, panic!

She was the king of panic ¹ It said 急急国王jijiguowang here, which is a reference to Tiki (吉吉jiji), a character from the children’s cartoon Boonie Bears. Tiki is often called 急急国王 (king of anxiety/panic) because of how he often acts, as well as 急急jiji sounding the same as his name. The ’King’ there is because the character is a self-proclaimed ruler. !

She had spent 15 attribute points to tear through the void and arrest that villainous “reserve family member” Byron, only to gain a mere 10 attribute points in return.

She had originally thought that after taking down the Sanctuary, the system would at least give some paltry reward as a consolation.

But in the end, there was nothing!?

Damn system!

Did you embezzle my attribute points?

Spit them out!

Ye Yao was absolutely furious.

But before that, she still had to report her safety to her companions back in the Yunited States.

She had thought that she could return home through proper procedures, but it turned out to be an “express train”.

The Sanctuary Leader was just too ruthless.

He actually dared to cut half of that massive space and use it as a bomb to kill her.

Although its power might not compare to a 400,000-point mental power nuke, it still nearly blew her circuits.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, the fission body born from Attribute Fission only had a mental power value of 40,000.

Creating a nuke with Myriad Things Fission was about as good as it got.

Her defense was still somewhat lacking.

Of course, it was also partly because Ye Yao had become a bit arrogant.

Who asked that to be just a fission body?

It didn’t matter if it died. It was fine as long as the main body lived.

“Wu Mi, send a message to Xia Lian and the others, tell them I’ve come back early, so there’s no need to worry.”

Ye Yao mentioned this to the girl with long beige hair.

Wu Mi naturally understood the implication immediately.

Rеad οn ΚаtReаⅾіոgСаfе

Since Ye Yao had asked her to send a message, it definitely meant contacting Xia Lian and the others as the “Ye Tong” identity.

“Mm.”

Wu Mi concisely conveyed Ye Yao’s meaning to Xia Lian.

“Sister Ye Tong is back, don’t worry.”

Ye Yao mentioned another thing.

“Oh right, tell Xia Lian to bring An Qi back. As for the remaining plans, let Mu Luo and the others decide for themselves.”

That weakling Xia Lian definitely wouldn’t want to act together with Mu Luo and the others.

She had already turned into a silly dog who only wanted to pet cats.

Following Mu Luo and the others in a killing spree would probably be more uncomfortable than death itself for her.

Wu Mi nodded and dutifully typed.

“Sister Ye Tong wants you to bring An Qi back early… anything else?”

The girl was waiting for Ye Yao’s further instructions.

But the silver-haired loli seemed a bit hesitant, unclear if she could actually make a decision.

“Umm, just say that the despicable biggest capitalist of the Yunited States has been executed.”

Byron was definitely dead beyond dead.

It was certified by the System, and the attribute points had dropped.

There was no chance of resurrection, not even Edo Tensei ² Also known as Reanimation Jutsu. As the name suggests, it can revive people. was possible.

“Mm-hmm.”

Wu Mi dutifully conveyed this.

The girls in the room were all staring at Ye Yao, who was currently deep in thought.

They could all tell that something very important had happened.

No one disturbed Ye Yao’s contemplation.

Even the usually restless Fang Tang just stared intently.

As soon as Ye Yao showed any sign of wanting to relax and laze around, she would definitely pounce first.

Ye Yao was indeed thinking about a very serious matter.

Was the Sanctuary dealt with or not?

Rеаd оո ΚαtReаԁіոɡСafe

A nuclear blast with a 400,000-point value couldn’t have failed to destroy that shabby space, right?

It was enough to destroy a planet.

A number like that was absolutely unprecedented and would never be seen again.

A mere Sanctuary Leader wasn’t worthy of tanking that without injury.

However, why was the system not reacting at all?

Did it require some special interaction?

Ye Yao once again suspected that the useless system was skimming off the top.

Perhaps it wanted to curb the powercreep, so it swallowed the attribute points she should’ve gained.

You should’ve been contained, useless system!

Unfortunately, Byron was already dead, and there was no way to tear open the void to find that space again.

Otherwise, she might have been able to go back and loot the corpse or something.

Provided that there was even a corpse left.

Of course, the most important thing was that the 100 unallocated attribute points she had before were now only 95!

What a huge loss!

She had thought about going alone to monopolize the gains, but in the end, she didn’t earn many attribute points, and even lost 5.

How much pressure would she have to put on her stern father, maternal uncle, and uncle to make up for that?

Ye Yao temporarily set aside the thoughts of persecuting her family.

Originally, she also wanted to go to Lou Wei and Fu Qi, flaunting the fact that she had single-handedly destroyed the Sanctuary organization as Ye Tong.

But since the system had no reaction, she couldn’t jump to conclusions easily.

If the Sanctuary popped up again later, she would probably get a harsh slap in the face.

Ye Yao wouldn’t do things she wasn’t confident about.

At this point, she could only wait and see for a while.

Even if the Sanctuary wasn’t completely destroyed, it should be half-dead at least.

If their lair could survive such a huge nuclear blast and still be kicking, then Ye Yao would have no choice but to crown them the King of Bomb Resistance ³ To explain this meme, let’s go back to the origins. This rc helicopter is called 耐nai (resist/endure) 摔shuai (fall) 王wang (king), so, King of Fall Resistance. Anyway, it blew up after Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash, even spawning other ‘King of X Resistance’ memes. But seriously though, how come like 10-20% of CN memes can be traced back to this one guy… .

She would just wait for Xia Lian and the others to come back first.

Meanwhile.

Inside the void space.

The boundaries of the independent space had long been shattered by the colossal mental power.

The world jointly constructed by twisted people met its silent end.

There were no extra spectators.

It was built in silence, destroyed in silence.

An end witnessed by none was a sorrowful one.

The terrifying “sun” had long been extinguished.

After all, the 400,000 value was a product of fission.

In essence, it was only 40,000.

Once the fission state disappeared, the extra mental power would also rapidly vanish.

However, the destructive force it caused didn’t disappear.

The enormous “sun” lasted only for a moment, not spilling outwards.

Not only because of the master’s deliberate design but also because this space was deep within the remote void.

Even if Fu Qi came in person, he would probably have a hard time finding the coordinates.

The Countermeasures Bureau would have never imagined that the mysterious and unpredictable Sanctuary would meet such a catastrophic end like this.

Their operational style had always been timid, never even showing their face.

They simply stayed obediently inside their safe house, only to have their door kicked in without warning by an unreasonable girl.

She had also tossed in a highly potent “bomb”.

Such a dramatic development was probably too abrupt for anyone to accept.

In that massive explosion.

All members within the Sanctuary space died completely.

Perhaps a few scattered members outside narrowly escaped the disaster.

But they would probably quickly realize they could no longer return to that silent safe house.

After all, the stable space had long been destroyed by the massive energy.

The original coordinates now held only a void.

Yet no one noticed, no one saw.

A figure drifted in the void space, its form remaining intact despite that terrifying explosion.

Upon closer look, its surface had long lost all features of a human.

It was as if a magical eraser had wiped away all details.

Its whole body was shrouded in white light, like the remnants left by a mental energy attack.

This was undoubtedly the body of the Sanctuary Leader.

He hadn’t been annihilated.

The next second.

His body rapidly swelled, as if some unknown entity was about to emerge from within.

“Familiar pain…”

An unknown voice echoed in the void.

According to the law of biological evolution.

That is, survival of the fittest.

Species that have survived a great catastrophe always gain experience or resistance to that disaster.

Like insects surviving exposure to insecticide, gaining resistance and becoming incredibly tenacious.

The thing that crawled out from within the Sanctuary Leader possessed an unparalleled ability to resist mental power attacks.

Such a terrifying torrent of mental power not only failed to destroy it but instead made it even more active.

The next second.

A frenzied voice rang out in the void.

“…This time, I shall destroy you first!”

Author Note

The sky has fallen. When I got back to my rented room, I found that the cutting board hanging on the wall had smashed the faucet switch. I don’t know how long the water had been running, but when I opened the door, the water was still gushing out. It had been almost a month. I don’t even want to think about when it started!
