Esper X Family – Chapter 465 – Fierce Battle

Fu Qi held himself to a high standard.

He couldn’t just casually whip up a high-consumption enhanced state and claim that it was an exclusive form skill.

Against a true expert, he only had one chance to make a mistake.

If he wasted his mental power on a hastily constructed skill, it would likely limit his potential.

Perhaps he could recklessly force out a personal form skill even more powerful than “Celestial Form” as a temporary measure.

But that probably wouldn’t reverse the final outcome of the battle.

He wanted to fight from start to finish, not defeat one strong enemy, collapse from exhaustion, and leave the stage with regret, forcing Lou Wei to face the most dangerous foe alone.

Could it be that he truly couldn’t match Lou Wei?

In normal times, joking that the Strongest in History couldn’t compare to the Strongest of the Current Era was fine, something to laugh off.

But at a critical moment like this, how could Fu Qi willingly accept being beneath someone else?

If Lou Wei could shoulder the responsibility, why couldn’t he?

Therefore, after Lou Wei developed the “Solar Corona Form”, Fu Qi swore he would develop an exclusive form skill to match it.

Even if it was just a one-time firework, at least it would make a sound. It was better than watching helplessly in despair.

There was no reason for the Countermeasures Bureau Director to be completely outclassed by an employee under his command.

Strictly speaking, Lou Wei still took orders from him!

And the matter was far from over. After finishing off this Ruler of Rifts, there was definitely an even more significant existence waiting.

Fu Qi would speedrun the Ruler of Rifts while conserving his strength, then directly confront the final enemy!

At the very beginning, he had absolutely no confidence in pulling this off.

But the Ruler of Rifts was remarkably generous. Not only did it refrain from using killing blows, it practically taught him everything it knew.

Fu Qi had learned a great deal from it.

One could only say that the Ruler of Rifts truly lived up to a species born in the universe with the power of space itself.

Surviving in spatial rifts, its mastery over spatial forces was masterful, several levels above Fu Qi’s own.

If he could learn, he absolutely would!

Fu Qi felt no shame in this. What was wrong with learning from the enemy?

The ultimate goal was to defeat the enemy. In a life-or-death crisis, one must use any means necessary.

In the end, Fu Qi finally relied on his personal talent to comprehend his own path.

Just as the Ruler of Rifts sensed the aura of danger, Fu Qi had completed his metamorphosis.

“You… are you truly not the strongest of this planet?”

“Perhaps after this battle, I might be. But even so, I will kill you first.”

Fu Qi’s tone turned ice-cold.

The Ruler of Rifts felt the intense killing intent radiating from him, mirroring its own earlier.

It didn’t reply, instead showing its resolve through action.

Since words had been spoken, only slaughter remained.

The cold vacuum of space should’ve been silent.

But now, it was torn apart by invisible spatial might, creating a deafening “silent roar”!

The diligent All-Knowing Demon Eye couldn’t capture their figures at all. It could only detect residual traces of mental power and frantically chase after them.

Seeing the All-Knowing Demon Eye unable to film it, the bloodthirsty audience on Bluestar grew furious.

Useless Demon Eye! Can’t even handle this small task!

And this thing dares to call itself a global live broadcast!?

But their insults were futile.

The All-Knowing Demon Eye’s split bodies were sliced in half by stray spatial cuts the moment they approached the battlefield.

Within the solar system.

Fu Qi and the Ruler of Rifts, one human and one alien lifeform, became two streaks of light flickering and leaping among the sea of stars.

Their battlefield spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, fighting from Bluestar’s orbit all the way to the gravitational edge of the planet.

Each collision wasn’t a clash of fists and feet, but a direct confrontation of space itself!

“You improve quickly. In my race, you would be among the elite.”

The Ruler of Rifts made a feint with its claws, and a spatial rift instantly spread like the Reaper’s scythe slashing toward Fu Qi.

Wherever the rift passed, massive space rocks were silently severed in two, the cut surfaces smooth as mirrors.

“But it is not enough. I am the strongest of my race. My power far exceeds your imagination.”

Using his precognitive combat instincts, Fu Qi warped the direction of the spatial tear, completely evading the brutal strike.

“If you were truly the strongest, you would have torn me to shreds by next second.”

The pressure it gave off didn’t even compare to Lou Wei’s.

Their battle trajectory was bizarre and unpredictable.

One second they were weaving through the asteroid belt, the next they might appear above the rings of a gas giant.

Left in their wake was a network of spatial rifts like scars upon the cosmos.

As well as countless massive meteor fragments, sliced with surgical precision.

Raging spatial turbulence swept through the battlefield wreckage like an invisible tsunami.

Bluestar.

Before the All-Knowing Demon Eye’s live broadcast screen, countless people held their breath, yet could only see a heart-stopping scene of chaos.

After the battles on Bluestar concluded, the All-Knowing Demon Eye concentrated all its power into space.

Only the duel between Fu Qi and the Ruler of Rifts remained undecided.

And facts had proven that this battle in space was indeed a high-stakes match far exceeding the combat level on Bluestar!

Even the All-Knowing Demon Eye at full power couldn’t lock onto the two spatial powerhouses.

The screen flickered and shook violently, leaving mostly darkness.

Occasionally, it would capture fleeting afterimages.

Or the terrifying sight of a distant planet having a corner sliced off by an invisible force.

Large numbers of All-Knowing Demon Eye split bodies were deployed to various regions to form multi-angle perspectives.

But most were mercilessly torn apart by the rampant spatial forces.

This was no longer an ordinary battlefield anyone could intervene in!

The All-Knowing Demon Eye seemed to have exhausted all its strength and options.

It could only film the devastated outer space landscape from as far away as possible.

Using those shocking “scars” to indirectly confirm the terrifying level of this battle.

Every sliced meteor remnant, every jagged spatial rift made the scalps of the Bluestar audience tingle, deeply realizing that this was a battlefield far beyond human reach.

Inside the dormitory, Ye Yao pursed her lips, using her small hands to give the little lolis comforting pats in turn.

“It looks flashy, but it doesn’t feel as thrilling as a fist-to-fist fight.”

But it probably wouldn’t last much longer.

Both sides were fighting at full strength, a desperate slaughter unlike the passionate instructional combat earlier.

In such a duel, victory and defeat would be decided in an instant.

In the end, Fu Qi would inevitably win.

This wasn’t Ye Yao knowing the script’s ending from Tu Sheng.

This was her deciding the script’s direction.

As for the possibility of Fu Qi losing?

Absolutely impossible.

Even if her uncle was unreliable, it didn’t mean his niece was.

At worst, she would have Fu Qi sit at the same tier as Xia Lian, using a single “Encouragement” to escort him to victory.

With her around, no alien being could hope to kill any one of her family members.

Professional demon king bodyguard! A single death counts as a failed job!

What concerned Ye Yao more now was the cosmic overlord inside the bioship.

And the mysterious newspaper-reading man who was quietly sharpening his blade at Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

If you guys don’t make a move, how can Ye Ge make hers?
