Esper X Family – Chapter 452 – Checking Weakling Xia Lian’s Battle Record (22/40)

“That’s great! Fang Ze and Cheng Muxue’s combat plan was a huge success! The number of powerful enemies in the capital has been halved! Victory is within our grasp!”

A cheer erupted within the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

The pressure on the Countermeasures Bureau warriors had plummeted, which was undoubtedly excellent news.

The cost, however, was that nearly all of the Bureau’s A-rank Espers had lost their combat capability.

They couldn’t engage the enemy directly on the battlefield. Otherwise, they would simply be killed effortlessly by foes far exceeding S-rank.

Therefore, these combatants below S-rank could only participate in the combat plan centered around Fang Ze and Cheng Muxue.

This way, they could still contribute their strength and give the other S-rank Espers a moment to breathe.

Facts had proven that this was the correct choice, wasting no combat resources.

If these A-rank Espers were sent to the front lines, they would undoubtedly be swatted aside by the enemy at will.

As for Espers below A-rank, they could only handle rescue operations.

Even now, there seemed to be a shortage of manpower, requiring reinforcements from other areas.

One could only be thankful that most of the powerful alien invaders had descended upon the capital rather than dispersing elsewhere.

Otherwise, the situation would be even more dire.

“We can’t let our guard down yet! The remaining enemies can ignore the rules of the【Law Space】, which means they are even stronger. The Director is still locked in a bitter struggle in space, and this is only the first wave of attacks!”

A wave of pressure washed over everyone in the command room.

The enemy was simply too strong.

Fortunately, the quality of Bluestar’s powerhouses was not lacking, and the powerhouses of Sequence Zero helped bridge some of the gap.

Moreover, the Countermeasures Bureau still had its final trump card yet to be played.

Everyone looked toward the man staring at the screen, hailed as “Strongest of the Current Era”.

He was waiting for the right moment to act.

The enemies currently revealed were clearly not the greatest threat yet.

Lou Wei’s intuition told him that an even stronger enemy lurked within the stationary bioship in space.

That was likely the true formidable foe.

As the saying goes, “King against King, General against General”. Lou Wei planned to launch a surprise attack once the mastermind revealed themselves.

He absolutely couldn’t give “Ye Tong” an opportunity to make a move.

By this time, Wu Mi had returned to the dormitory.

Compared to Mo Qiuli, who was so exhausted she was snoring loudly, Wu Mi showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

After all, she had merely applied a Cycle state to Yu Jin at the very beginning and spent the rest of the time as a pure spectator, no different from the other onlookers.

“Ye Yao, is this really okay? Compared to Little Mo, I feel like I’m just a worm wriggling on the ground…”

Ye Yao immediately launched a combo of head pats.

“Why are you comparing yourself to others now? Does Wu Mi like being in the spotlight?”

“Uuu, no… I just wasn’t sure if you were satisfied with me.”

In truth, Wu Mi didn’t have a strong desire for recognition. She simply wanted Ye Yao’s praise.

She knew her own abilities couldn’t possibly make her shine brighter than Mo Qiuli. She would rather help Yu Jin defeat a strong enemy and then come back to cuddle with Ye Yao.

Now that Mo Qiuli was fast asleep and the others hadn’t returned yet…

Ye Yao was all hers, Wu Mi’s alone!

As for Tu Sheng… she would just pretend she didn’t exist.

An older sister like her surely wouldn’t vie for favor with a little sister, right?

“Satisfied? I’m extremely satisfied! Although Wu Mi’s impact wasn’t as flashy as Old Yu’s, he couldn’t have beaten the enemy without you. Your support capabilities are just too heaven-defying.”

Of course, the main contribution was the 10 attribute points. Looking at it from that angle alone, Wu Mi wasn’t far behind Mo Qiuli.

“Don’t worry, one day when I start a livestream, I’ll do a recap and explain your importance to everyone.

I want everyone to know the principle: ‘DPS comes and goes, supports are eternal’.

Old Yu’s ability to deal top-tier damage is purely because he’s cashing in on the version advantages!”

In any case, Ye Yao’s mind was already filled with amusing ideas.

Like creating a tier list during her livestream, defining who was medium cup, who was large cup, and who was ultra large cup all by herself!

Now that the public had formed a preliminary impression of the various warriors after this battle…

Ye Yao thought ushering in the Era of Great Debate would be quite entertaining.

“Ehehe, thank you, Ye Yao~”

Wu Mi happily threw herself into Ye Yao’s arms.

To be honest, she didn’t particularly care about fame or public approval.

What mattered most to her was that Ye Yao showed her sufficient attention and care.

Happy, happy, happy~

Ye Yao stroked the hair of the coquettish Wu Mi and turned her gaze back to the numerous screens.

Yu Jin had returned from the moon.

Just moments ago, he looked ready to elbow the bioship. It was like watching a certain basketball legend try to elbow a helicopter, the only possible outcome was a crash ¹ Another Kobe Bryant reference. .

Even Fu Qi was still struggling to elbow a mini-boss.

Yet, Yu Jin stubbornly insisted on going straight for the final boss.

If Fu Qi hadn’t intervened just now, Ye Yao might’ve been forced to have her fission body activate a Strength-Type Apotheosis Mode.

Perhaps she could’ve cosplayed as Pangu splitting the heavens and earth.

Without mental power, possessing only Strength, Endurance, and Agility… surely she wouldn’t risk losing her humanity, right?

After all, Yu Jin had displayed such high stats without showing the slightest change.

Ye Yao was a little curious to try it herself.

Unfortunately, she never got the chance.

At this moment, most of the powerful enemies near the capital had been jointly eliminated by Fang Ze, Cheng Muxue, and a large number of elite A-rank operatives.

Only a few particularly troublesome opponents remained.

From this perspective, Bluestar’s powerhouses weren’t struggling quite as much as it seemed.

Only those who had just recently been promoted to S-rank and were thrown straight into high-stakes battles were taking a beating.

Like Li Tang earlier. His animal companions were all dead, and he barely managed to save his own skin. Who knows how long it will take him to recover from the trauma.

“Little Luo and Fang Tang haven’t returned yet.”

Ye Yao shook her head.

It would be difficult for those two little lolis to prove themselves here.

Little Luo’s ability was utterly useless against these high-stat alien monsters.

Although her ability had the potential to unleash “Infinite Tsukuyomi” or “Mirror Flower, Water Moon”, the prerequisite was having sufficient stats to back it up.

Now,【Eyes Obscured by a Single Leaf】has become a relic of a bygone meta.

The once prodigy had fallen to become one of the forgotten benchwarmers, everyone had tears streaming down their faces.

But at least the future still holds promise.

As for a certain cubic sugar…

Her mental power was barely over a thousand. What more could anyone ask of her?

Just knowing which road leads home is already a success for her.

Afterward, Ye Yao urgently checked the status of the other Sequence Zero members.

Mu Luo was “digesting” the Light Chaser’s energy and would likely reap significant rewards.

Yu Jin had just come ashore from the sea. He was currently in a temporarily exhausted state and needed some time to recover his strength. Given his physique, it shouldn’t take long.

After all, the War-Ending Form’s effects and limits weren’t as monstrous as the Solar Corona Form.

It required Wu Mi’s buff to barely cosplay as Mahoraga ² Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga. Its ability is to tank hits and adapt to everything. . It needed a certain startup time, and the cost wasn’t prohibitively high either.

The only ones left with the ability to continue fighting were Jiang Huashen, Gu Wenxin, and Xia Lian.

Of course, Fang Tang and An Qi didn’t count.

For Fang Tang, making it back home was a victory in itself.

As for An Qi, she just needed to find a safe hiding spot so Ye Yao could use spiritual synchronization with her and unleash fate explosions on enemies at will.

“What about weakling Xia Lian? Let’s check weakling Xia Lian’s battle record.”

Author Note

I can only manage three updates today, damn it! After posting the chapter yesterday, I didn’t even know the book had been taken down. Then I checked Fanqie and found everyone was in an uproar. I frantically searched for the reason, which caused my writing rhythm to completely collapse. Anyway, I’ll resume four updates tomorrow. Today I’ll just be a temporary weakling!
