Esper X Family – Chapter 471 – Lou Wei: This Isn’t Right!

It was too sudden, far too sudden.

So sudden that the Countermeasures Bureau hadn’t even had time to prepare accordingly.

It would be one thing if Ye Yao only knew about the identity Lou Wei had been hiding.

But what did she mean by “knows everything”?

Was there truly no room for maneuver?

Countless conjectures flashed through the minds of the Countermeasures Bureau’s higher-ups.

They were doing their utmost to decipher Ye Yao’s intentions.

They had known about the things Lou Wei and Fu Qi were hiding long before the Bluestar defense battle began.

After all, the two had long since prepared themselves for sacrifice and needed to settle their final affairs.

Among those affairs were the deeper secrets concerning Ye Yao and Ye Tong.

So, here was the question.

Why did Ye Yao go out disguised as “Ye Tong”?

Ah, they understood. Although the child knew everything, her personality hadn’t changed. It made perfect sense that she wouldn’t want to reveal her true face, and naturally, it was even more reasonable for her to borrow Ye Tong’s appearance.

Then, why would she go out?

The Countermeasures Bureau’s higher-ups could only guess one possibility.

That is, after learning from Ye Tong that she possessed unparalleled power, she tried to tap into her potential to rescue Lou Wei and Fu Qi, who were in critical danger!

Realizing this, they felt chills run down their limbs.

Ye Yao using the power of a world-destroying ability… wouldn’t that effectively mean fully utilizing “Ye Tong”?

What difference would that be from the Vengeful Spirit incident when the two became one?

That was the true Sequence 001!

“Quick! Find a way to contact Lou Wei! Forget about that damned interstellar overlord for now! Stop Ye Yao from awakening the power inside her first!”

Damn it!

That interstellar overlord was nothing. Could it even compare to the crisis brought by a world-destroying ability?

Lou Wei and Fu Qi, those two heavyweight fireworks, might be able to blast it crippled or dead. But when facing ‘Tong Yao’, they could only make a popping sound!

“No good! We can’t reach them! All communication lines have been cut!”

“Then contact Ye Yao!”

“…No good either! She didn’t bring any communication devices!”

Despair settled on their faces.

Meanwhile.

High above.

Conqueror Starscourge naturally noticed the desperate resolve of the two.

It also noticed the key point that caused their transformation.

Starscourge shifted its gaze slightly and saw an ordinary-looking human.

The power inside her was even more insignificant than an ant’s, no different from a newborn infant.

Starscourge quickly understood.

It had witnessed this familiar scene many times while destroying countless civilizations.

Adult members of weak races, in order to protect the young of their race, always burst forth with unexpected potential.

They were unafraid of death, only wanting to buy time for the weaker members to escape, or trying to sacrifice themselves to eliminate the greatest threat.

That was exactly like this moment.

Those two human warriors were probably going all out to protect that ant, right?

To be honest, Starscourge was quite pleased to see this.

Only warriors who rose to the occasion in such circumstances were truly satisfying.

And at that moment.

The All-Knowing Demon Eye also seemed to notice this insignificant human.

Although it had always disdained looking at creatures whose mental power hadn’t even reached a thousand.

But since the strongest human warrior and the interstellar overlord were both voluntarily casting their gaze upon her, she was at least worthy of a glance.

But the Eye didn’t know what it was in for. The faint fluctuations of mental power the All-Knowing Demon Eye captured made its main body shudder violently!

The information contained within that mental power…

The large eyeball of the All-Knowing Demon Eye instantly became bloodshot.

【???：Ye Yao

Species: Human

Identity: Magical Girl Lullaby, Leader of Sequence Zero, Sequence 001 of the Countermeasures Bureau…】

The All-Knowing Demon Eye instinctively revealed this information it had barely managed to identify with all its effort.

But soon, it identified even more shocking information.

【Sigh… can we make peace?】

Many bloodthirsty spectators who hadn’t suffered from spiritual contamination saw the public information from the All-Knowing Demon Eye.

“Who’s this new expert?”

“Wait? ‘Magical Girl Lullaby’?! Is that the Tong Yao I’m thinking of?”

“What does ‘Leader of Sequence Zero’ mean? Is that for real?”

“Holy crap! Sequence 001 of the Countermeasures Bureau! I recall sequence numbers represent threat levels. What level does Sequence 001 mean?”

“What’s wrong with the All-Knowing Demon Eye? Isn’t it an alien? Why is it begging for mercy from a human?”

Reaⅾ οո КatRеaⅾіոgСаfe

“Yeah, yeah, it wasn’t even that dramatic with the Strongest of the Current Era!”

Without a doubt.

The information disclosed by the All-Knowing Demon Eye this time managed to dispel much of the panic.

Everyone was curious about who this “Ye Yao” was.

Judging by the identities revealed by the All-Knowing Demon Eye, she was definitely anything but ordinary!

Just the name “Tong Yao” alone made their brains tremble.

They had almost forgotten one thing: even if Lou Wei and Fu Qi couldn’t defeat the powerful alien enemy, there was still the Great Emperor Tong Yao to fall back on!

They were just too panicked and nearly forgot!

“Someone tell me! Is she really the goddess who ushered in a new era?”

“I don’t know! when Jiang Huashen’s painting appeared earlier, Tong Yao’s figure was clearly smaller!”

“B-But… their hair color seems to be the same silver. Is she the same person or not?”

Everyone buzzed with discussion, their curiosity stronger than ever before.

But many had a vague answer in their hearts.

If she wasn’t the goddess who ushered in a new era, why would the All-Knowing Demon Eye beg for mercy?

It had clearly read some heavyweight information!

It didn’t even dare to dox more information, afraid of being held accountable later!

That’s right!

She’s definitely ‘Her’!

At the same time.

The three parties high above also noticed the All-Knowing Demon Eye’s little move.

Seeing the disclosed information, Lou Wei almost lost his composure.

Rеαd оո КаtRеаԁіոɡСαfe

Fu Qi was the same. The fighting spirit he had just built up nearly dissolved.

Bro, WTF!? Why “Ye Yao”?

But Lou Wei quickly steadied himself.

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t that strange.

Ye Tong originally came from within Ye Yao, she was essentially the manifestation of Ye Yao’s ability. Even the name “Ye Tong” might be meaningless.

Besides, apart from her core, she was almost identical to Ye Yao.

So, it wasn’t strange for the All-Knowing Demon Eye to see “Ye Tong” as “Ye Yao”.

As for the identity “Leader of Sequence Zero”…

Lou Wei didn’t know how the All-Knowing Demon Eye gathered information.

The only possibility was that the experiences of Ye Tong and Ye Yao had mixed together, thus fusing their information and producing this inaccurate result.

Judging by the All-Knowing Demon Eye’s reaction, it must’ve also learned of the existence of the “world-destroying ability”.

It clearly knew that it meant something far beyond the interstellar overlord it currently served.

So, there was no need to worry for now. Ye Yao should be safe and sound inside the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

There was no way she could suddenly appear outside.

That’s what Lou Wei thought, but he kept paying attention to the silver-haired figure below.

His mental power was enough for him to monitor the entire situation.

And just then, a worried whisper reached his ears.

“Father…”

Lou Wei: “…”

This isn’t right!!!
