Esper X Family – Chapter 459 – Xia Lian: Wait Until I Start Up! (25/40)

Xiao Jing was a very special Esper, known as the “Stat Amplifier ¹ This title hasn’t been mentioned since chapter 1… “.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s original intention was for Xiao Jing to cooperate with Lou Wei in preventing the world-destroying crisis that could arrive at any moment.

Xiao Jing’s maternal nature was merely incidental.

If Xiao Jing were to use【Devotion】at maximum efficiency, she could even grant a single person a terrifying enhancement at the cost of her own life.

Unlike Cheng Muxue, she didn’t need time to prepare, nor did she require the coordination of a large number of personnel.

The power amplification Xiao Jing provided was a simple, crude emergency measure.

Its purpose was to prevent a scenario where the world-destroying crisis arrived too suddenly and Lou Wei’s strength proved insufficient.

Thus, Xiao Jing’s support was essential, acting as a layer of insurance.

At the very beginning, Xiao Jing was naturally prepared to sacrifice herself to unleash Lou Wei’s maximum power for a showdown with the prophesied world destroyer.

However, that opportunity never arose.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s higher-ups had initially been overly pessimistic, which led to all these schemes.

As Ye Yao’s situation gradually stabilized, they naturally no longer dared to put Xiao Jing in harm’s way.

Let alone have her use an ability that was written as “Devotion” but read as “Sacrifice”.

And after Lou Wei developed the Solar Corona Form, he didn’t need others’ sacrifices to bolster his strength.

He would rather die himself than let Xiao Jing die.

Otherwise, even if Ye Yao didn’t turn evil because of her mother’s death, Lou Wei wouldn’t know how to face her without one.

Thinking of the suffocating pressure that coiled around like a python, Lou Wei concluded that if someone truly had to die, he would rather be the first to go.

Xiao Jing glanced at Lou Wei, who seemed as composed as ever.

“You’re thinking about how to avoid this, aren’t you?”

“I wasn’t thinking that…”

“You really are… Never mind, I won’t pressure you. Just figure it out for yourself.”

Xiao Jing didn’t plan to go see Ye Yao right now.

If she went over, Ye Yao might feel somewhat constrained.

Therefore, it was better to wait for Ye Yao to come find her.

If the initiative came from her daughter, it meant she wasn’t busy with anything, allowing for either affection or casual matters freely.

What qualified mother would let her child feel constrained?

Xiao Jing could wait until after the major event concluded to contact Ye Yao.

As battle reports streamed into the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

One shocking piece of information made everyone at the headquarters draw a sharp breath.

Sequence Zero’s Gu Wenxin had slain three enemy generals in succession!

Moreover, he remained in peak condition and was en route to support others.

The fewer the words, the greater the matter.

At a time when others lost their combat ability after killing a single formidable foe, Gu Wenxin had erupted with astonishing power, slaying three mighty enemies consecutively.

One had to remember that the remaining alien beings were all tough survivors of Fang Ze’s Law Space.

That Gu Wenxin could kill three in a row plunged everyone into profound shock.

“Gu Wenxin, huh?”

A faint glimmer flashed in Lou Wei’s eyes.

That taciturn man was indeed the one who grew the fastest.

During the time Lou Wei had operated with Sequence Zero, he had witnessed Gu Wenxin’s growth rate firsthand.

Simply killing and killing was enough to increase his mental power.

Just like the main character of games who levels up by defeating monsters.

His mental power had long been raised to the critical point of S-rank, just one step away from crossing the boundary that represented humanity’s limit.

Lou Wei briefly reviewed Gu Wenxin’s combat record.

Actually, before Fang Ze had cleared the field using【Law Space】, Gu Wenxin had already proactively sought out a powerful enemy to engage.

That particular enemy wasn’t as formidable as the Memory Spirit. Had he held on a bit longer, Fang Ze might’ve swept it away as well.

But Gu Wenxin had slain it in advance.

Using a combination of several universal form skills, coupled with the unique nature of his ability, he had achieved an unexpected one-hit-kill!

And after that, Gu Wenxin broke through the boundary of S-rank, successfully crossing the threshold to become a Super S-rank Esper.

His base mental power exceeded ten thousand!

The remaining two super-strong foes, those who survived the screening of【Law Space】, then faced a Gu Wenxin whose power had undergone a qualitative change.

In the subsequent two battles, Gu Wenxin reportedly awakened his exclusive form skill, allowing him to dispatch the enemies with minimal expenditure.

Just as the battle reports came in one after another.

Cheers erupted from a certain dorm room.

“Too awesome! Old Gu, I hereby declare you the current version’s darling!”

Ye Yao was naturally overjoyed by Old Gu’s astonishing combat achievements.

There might be no one whose momentum was as smooth as Gu Wenxin’s.

Before the battle began, he had pushed his mental power to the critical point of S-rank through Sequence Zero’s activities.

After the battle began, he quickly engaged a heavily sinful strong foe, gaining experience from the initial kill to push his mental power past the ten thousand mark.

After advancing to Super S-rank, he successively sought out two more alien powerhouses, smoothly awakening his exclusive form skill, the “Judgment Form”.

In this form, Gu Wenxin defined the standard of good and evil.

The output multiplier of the【Slaying Evil】ability received a massive boost.

The greater the enemy’s sin, the greater the enhancement Gu Wenxin received.

Even after completing an execution, the Judgment Form would be further strengthened. It was essentially a different kind of “killing book ² Mejai’s Soulstealer. A League of Legends item with a passive that gives 4 stacks for every champion kill and 2 stacks for every assist. Each stack gives 5 ability power. ”.

Until all beings within range bearing the aura of sin were slain, Gu Wenxin would likely not stop.

This near-heroic record of a battle-hardened king brought Ye Yao a substantial amount of mental power.

10 attribute points for Gu Wenxin’s advancement to Super S-rank.

5 attribute points for awakening his exclusive form skill.

Plus 15 attribute points gained from consecutive battles against three mighty foes.

A full 30 attribute points brought her unallocated attribute points total to a whopping 230!

Ye Yao was ready to declare Old Gu the strongest model worker!

And he hadn’t stopped yet. Gu Wenxin still continued his hunt!

As the saying goes, “Countering is supreme, special attacks are godly ³ Explained in chapter 55. Basically a saying about picking a character that counters the enemy character. .”

The Judgment Form defines good and evil. Alien creatures might have standards detached from those of Bluestar, and some neutral entities like the Memory Spirit existed, but Gu Wenxin’s ability to define good and evil changed everything.

No matter what you came here for, if I say you are evil, then you are evil!

If you are evil, then you shall be slain!

It was truly invincible.

The onlookers were once again left gasping at Gu Wenxin’s terrifying battle prowess.

No one had expected such a ferocious individual within Sequence Zero.

Ye Yao, of course, was delighted to see this.

The more renowned the better! That might bring fame to the whole family, and wouldn’t attribute points just flow into her pocket?

Now, the number of aliens descending from the sky was dwindling.

Soon enough, the real show would likely begin.

How much longer could the big boss watching the spectacle from space hold back?

Ye Yao was just waiting for the big boss and Lou Wei to make their appearance.

Before that, she decided to check on Xia Lian’s battle record.

She took a look.

As expected, the record was still 0-0-0.

What’s going on?

If you don’t step up soon, all the monsters will be wiped out by Old Gu!

“Weakling Xia Lian, are you trying to end up at the same tier as Fang Tang?”

“Soon, soon! Just wait until I hit S-rank!”
