Esper X Family – Chapter 479 – Ye Tong: My Power Was Taken Away by Ye Ge

The All-Knowing Demon Eye’s global broadcast screen vanished.

Ye Ge casually destroyed one of the split bodies as a warning.

After beating Lou Wei to a pulp, there was no need to keep recording.

As the saying goes, don’t air your family’s dirty laundry in public.

Ye Ge might not care about her image, but Ye Yao still needed to maintain some family harmony!

The bloodthirsty audience was left wanting more.

“What a shame we didn’t get to see the end.”

“Hiss— the Strongest of the Current Era, the one who could stand up to the interstellar overlord, was beaten so badly he couldn’t even fight back.”

“What’s so surprising about that? Even the interstellar overlord was kicked to death like a stray dog by Lord Ye Ge. Lou Wei is nothing compared to that.”

“What exactly did Mr. Lou Wei do to deserve such a beating?”

The public’s gossipy curiosity wasn’t about to die down just yet.

They recalled the intel the All-Knowing Demon Eye had revealed earlier.

Ye Ge was born from Ye Yao’s wish.

That meant Ye Yao was the one who was Lou Wei’s “daughter”.

In other words, Ye Ge was avenging Ye Yao.

Their surnames were different, and they didn’t look alike either. The only possibility was that they weren’t biologically related.

And since they weren’t blood-related, things started to make sense.

Going by typical movie plots, it was non-biological families that had all sorts of bizarre conflicts.

Such a scene of “father-daughter harmony” might not be entirely out of the question.

Of course, what drew even more attention was the intel the All-Knowing Demon Eye had revealed about the girl named “Ye Yao”.

What exactly was her identity?

The Magical Girl Lullaby, the partner of Magical Girl Mercury!

Since Magical Girl Mercury herself could project a celestial body, people were even more convinced that “Tong Yao”, the one who ushered in a new era, was indeed a magical girl.

It sounded wilder than fiction, but what was truly disheartening was that it seemed to be true.

Then, there was ‘Leader of Sequence Zero’.

That was another heavyweight!

Who would’ve thought that all those shady ¹ As mentioned before, “shady” is also slang for using cheats in video games. Espers had been personally raised by “Tong Yao”?

No wonder. No wonder at all.

No wonder that person called Jiang Huashen had been able to create “Tong Yao’s” painting.

It was because she had allowed it.

If anyone in Sequence Zero had been incompetent, that would’ve been truly embarrassing.

And finally, there was Countermeasures Bureau Sequence 001.

This was the real case of trespassing into a celestial house.

Who could’ve imagined that she had so many identities?

“Guys, I have a bold guess! Could it be that streamer Yao Catty, who’s always playing games on the livestream, is actually ‘Tong Yao’ herself?”

“Whoa! Now I’m genuinely scared to tears. I’ve roasted her for being bad at games before!”

“Gwah! Am I going to get turned into a bloody mist?”

“Sharing joy with the people? That’s great. I will follow this streamer to the death!”

“Long-time fan here, I was one of the first to follow. Newcomers, kneel before me!”

Soon enough, someone spotted a blind spot.

“Wait a minute. Do you think ‘Tong Yao’ is a loli? Even though the image shown by the All-Knowing Demon Eye was a beautiful young girl, Yao Catty’s voice sounds really young.”

“Could be, brother! Even Jiang Huashen, who saw ‘Tong Yao’ with his own eyes, painted her as small and delicate. Is there any more authoritative proof than that?”

“Now I like her even more!”

“Straight to electrocution!”

Even though the All-Knowing Demon Eye’s live broadcast had ended, the public’s enthusiasm for discussion showed no sign of cooling down.

Their homes might have been destroyed, but at least they had won this war against alien enemies.

With the countries’ current capabilities, rebuilding their homes would be quick.

Rather than wallow in past sorrow, it was better to look forward.

After all, they had truly watched the entire battle and weren’t lost in confusion.

With so many juicy topics to divert their attention, who cared about anything else?

Whatever remained, the newly expanded Civil Engineering Esper organization could handle the heavy labor.

It wouldn’t be long before the vast ruins were completely renewed.

Unlike the onlookers who thrived on eating melon.

The Countermeasures Bureau was genuinely terrified.

The Bureau’s rescue team had already approached the edge of the area where Lou Wei and Ye Ge were, but they didn’t dare to get any closer.

Hearing the thunderous crashes one after another, anyone could imagine how badly Ye Ge was beating Lou Wei.

So, all they could do was secretly transport the unconscious Fu Qi away for treatment, not daring to step in and mediate.

Faced with that kind of scene, who would dare to?

Even the Interstellar Overlord, a being capable of destroying star systems, had been kicked to death.

Anyone trying to mediate better have a body tougher than the Interstellar Overlord’s.

Otherwise, they would just be waiting to get punched into a bloody mist by the shady Ye Ge.

“Hiss… is Lou Wei really going to get beaten to death?”

“Hard to say…”

Ye Ge’s actions further proved that she had no regard for family ties. Probably nothing could restrain her, not even morality.

Could Xiao Jing do it?

That seemed doubtful.

Since even Lou Wei and Fu Qi had been beaten, the rest of her family probably wouldn’t be treated any better.

By then, Fang Ze had also arrived nearby and was agonizing over whether to go over and share some of Lou Wei’s burden.

Was there really any way to make Ye Ge stop outright?

Don’t be ridiculous.

If someone with world-destroying power held in all that bad feelings without an outlet, every single person who knew about it wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

In any case, letting Ye Ge vent by beating someone black and blue was the option with the least consequences.

“Sigh, Lou Wei, just endure it.”

Fang Ze could only silently pray for Lou Wei.

Then, he heard a few startled exclamations.

“Why are they here!?”

Fang Ze looked over and saw two familiar figures.

A silver-haired young girl and a silver-haired loli, Ye Tong and Ye Yao.

It seemed like Ye Tong had flown over while carrying Ye Yao.

“It’s been a while, Uncle~”

Ye Tong greeted Fang Ze with a slightly mischievous tone.

Combined with a certain loli’s somewhat resentful gaze, Fang Ze felt extremely awkward.

Unfortunately for him.

He was among the first group of people to deceive Ye Yao. The title “Uncle” wasn’t easy to bear.

At least he didn’t attract as much hatred, given how busy he was that he had barely seen Ye Yao at all.

“Cough, cough… sorry for hiding so many things from you.”

This was, of course, directed at Ye Yao.

“It’s okay… Uncle must’ve had his reasons.”

Ye Tong and Ye Yao were still acting relatively normal.

To make the divinity appear, one would need matching power. Otherwise, it would just be an odd perception, not enough to affect one’s personality.

Currently, Ye Tong and Ye Yao weren’t using Attribute Fission. With their attention split three ways, only Ye Ge, who represented one third, was more heavily affected.

After all, Ye Ge was still using Attribute Fission’s power.

“You two…”

Fang Ze was about to ask if their meeting might cause some reaction.

But Ye Tong seemed to have anticipated his question.

“Don’t worry. My power was all taken by Ye Ge. There’s no problem with meeting Ye Yao now.”

“That…”

Fang Ze looked like life had lost its meaning.

How could there be such bad news?

Ye Tong was still relatively controllable. There wasn’t much worry about her wielding the power.

But Ye Ge, who had no regard for family ties, was a real problem!

Author Note

I’ve also prepared for the million-word book test. I wonder how long can I keep writing?
