Esper X Family – Chapter 453 – Memory Spirit, Chronicles of the Universe

Unfortunately, Xia Lian’s record was 0-0-0 ¹ K/D ratio, so 0 kill, 0 death, and 0 assist, which is a number you often see with AFK or throwing players. , firmly establishing her as a pure weakling.

Even now, she still hadn’t taken down a single enemy.

“Weakling, are you even capable of anything?”

“Just wait for me a little longer, White Catty. I’m on the verge of a breakthrough in battle. Once I reach S-rank, I’ll definitely bring back glory for you!”

The remaining enemies were all tough nuts to crack.

And Xia Lian was purely a combatant. Unlike Wu Mi, she couldn’t step onto the battlefield with unparalleled support capabilities.

If even her mental power hadn’t reached S-rank, then entering the fray would be nothing short of suicide.

Thus, Xia Lian could only attempt a breakthrough in battle, at the very least securing a ticket to contend with the enemy.

As for how she would defeat powerful foes with the strength of a weak S-rank, that would depend entirely on her own skill.

Ye Yao certainly wouldn’t step in so easily.

“That cat-abusing weakling settles down even slower than Old Yu. What a weakling.”

Given Xia Lian’s potential, she was fully capable of advancing to S-rank months ago.

Unfortunately, she immersed herself in petting cats, oblivious to the passage of time, and wasted many days.

Now that the critical moment had arrived, she could only cram at the last minute.

A disgrace to her status as a top ten of the Sequence list.

Wait, it seemed like she had already dropped out of the top ten.

Never mind then.

With things as they stood, it was better to check on Old Jiang, who also hadn’t advanced to S-rank.

At this moment, he had already sought out a powerful alien enemy, and was even facing it alone.

Tu Sheng followed Ye Yao’s gaze.

“Species: Memory Spirit, Innate Talent: Memory Projection, Mental Power: Fifty thousand…”

Simultaneously.

The All-Knowing Demon Eye also started doxxing.

【Intruder: Jiang Huashen

Species: Human

Identity: Member of Sequence Zero

Although his strength is far from sufficient to participate in the conscription ceremony, he exudes an inexplicable confidence. Possesses the power of “Painting the Common People”. Preliminary assessment: the pride and arrogance of an “artist”.】

Across Jiang Huashen was an alien creature waiting silently for its new challenger.

It floated in the sky, its form resembling a flowing, semi-solid nebula, with its body nearly transparent. This was the Memory Spirit.

It wasn’t a physical body, but a living archive.

The light and shadow of countless epochs surged endlessly within it, as dazzling and deadly as a supernova explosion.

To gaze upon it was to face the universe’s very chronicles.

Wreckages of starships, collapsing stars, the first cries and final breaths of civilizations…

Billions of images flashed, superimposed, and vanished within its transparent “form” at speeds surpassing thought.

It was, in itself, an unending epic of the cosmos.

From the information Tu Sheng revealed, Ye Yao understood the implications.

Rеαd oո КаtRеαdіոgСаfe

Every frame that flickered past was a “memory” it had personally inscribed or absorbed.

The volume of information was as immense as a galaxy pouring down from the heavens.

Not everyone could look directly at the Memory Spirit.

If a mortal’s gaze lingered even slightly, they would be battered by this torrent of endless information.

For instance, the spectators watching through the light screens felt their brains hammered the moment they looked.

Intense vertigo surged alongside a searing pain in their nerve endings.

It felt as if their souls were being torn apart and assimilated by this living vortex of history.

Therefore, no one dared to look directly anymore. They could only observe its movements from the corners of their eyes.

“This thing is way too bizarre. Just staring at it feels like my mind is being polluted.”

“Is this some kind of eldritch god?”

“Damn, a buddy of mine here didn’t believe it, stared wide-eyed, and passed out.

He’s still mumbling, ‘So thrilling, so thrilling! Seeing such spectacular scenes makes even death worth it!’

Is this guy even human?”

“Everyone, stop staring at it! Be careful, or you’ll fry your brains!”

“I really want to watch! But it might burn out my brain!

Who could resist watching a completely unknown cosmic chronicle?

Maybe we could even see traces of other civilizations’ development!”

The Memory Spirit remained silent and voiceless, but through this suffocating sea of memories, it conveyed a weight and wisdom that transcended time and space.

Many onlookers couldn’t help but show expressions of awe.

Although it had defeated several S-rank Espers from the Countermeasures Bureau who came to subdue it, its unique physical form instinctively lowered hostility toward it.

The reason for the Countermeasures Bureau S-rank Espers’ defeats was simple.

Either they were flooded with an overload of information, or various unidentified creatures emerged from the Memory Spirit’s body to gang up on them. It was the epitome of bizarreness.

“Isn’t this like Unlimited Void ² Gojo’s Domain Expansion. Basically creates a metaphysical space and overloads the target with endless information. ? I should’ve asked Uncle ³ Long story short, Gojo (Strongest of Today) was beaten by Sukuna (Strongest in History). to come deal with it.”

Ye Yao couldn’t help but mutter a complaint, secretly lamenting the missed opportunity.

Now, one question remained.

Could Jiang Huashen elbow his way past it?

Ye Yao vaguely recalled that his combat ability wasn’t particularly strong. Most of the time, he used his ability’s mechanics to bring convenience to everyone’s daily lives.

Just recently, Ye Yao had cracked the whip and made him mass-produce transformation props.

At other times, she even had him paint landscapes and such, giving them to Mama Xiao Jing as gifts under Ye Tong’s name.

In short, Old Jiang’s combat prowess was somewhat lacking, and he was possibly even more of a weakling than Xia Lian.

Ye Yao had assumed that he would team up with someone like Gu Wenxin, but to her surprise, he had come to challenge the enemy alone.

Can he win?

The spectators who saw Jiang Huashen step forward alone also felt a wave of skepticism.

“Although I’ve always trusted the quality of Sequence Zero’s powerhouses, this young man Jiang Huashen hasn’t reached S-rank yet, has he?”

What kind of heavy hitters had Sequence Zero fielded previously?

One was the mysterious wriggly man whom the Countermeasures Bureau constantly kept an eye on.

Another was a powerhouse who proved the Dao through strength, with all information unknown, who literally elbowed his enemy to the moon. Anyone who saw it would be scared to tears.

As for the remaining one, the little loli Wu Mi, she looked like a pure support powerhouse, suspected to be the final piece of the puzzle that allowed the mysterious muscular man to defeat the enemy.

Reαⅾ оո КαtRеαԁіnɡСafе

Wu Mi looked cute and adorable, so no one would compare her.

But Jiang Huashen, being an adult male, couldn’t escape the scrutiny.

“Could he be the art student Streamer Yao Catty always talks about, the one who’s always traveling around?”

“Then it’s over. Even if he were the art student who started World War II, he couldn’t elbow past this enemy.”

“Where’s Lady Mercury? Come out and project a planet to smash it!”

Although Wu Mi went into battle without being S-rank, she was at least in a pure support role.

But Jiang Huashen, who was below S-rank, facing a powerful alien enemy alone… Wasn’t his chances of winning abysmal?

“Could it be… that he’ll break through to S-rank on the verge of battle like a novel protagonist and defeat his opponent with a cheat?”

“Take another look at how many S-rank Espers the Memory Spirit defeated just now.”

Facts had proven that even veteran S-rank Espers could only cosplay as speed bumps in front of the Memory Spirit.

So what use was a newly promoted S-rank Esper?

Jiang Huashen didn’t care about others’ doubts, or rather, he was completely unaware that he was being discussed.

His attention was fixed on one thing only: he wanted to properly observe this Memory Spirit that could bring him boundless inspiration.

“Hey, I heard your body records many spectacular scenes from across the universe. Can you let me see them?”

While countless others kept their distance, Jiang Huashen actively requested this.

“In exchange, I can let you die in an artistic fashion.”
