Esper X Family – Chapter 482 – Curious, Very Curious

Ye Yao gasped.

She had never considered that the last member of Sequence Zero might be in a parallel world.

Bro, WTF! How did you even get there?

Even getting lost shouldn’t be that extreme!

How did parallel worlds get involved?

For a moment, she felt like she had wandered onto the wrong setting.

Once again, Ye Yao realized just how deep this world’s setting went. All she could say was that it was utterly ridiculous.

“Parallel world? Interesting. This last companion really knows how to stir things up.”

After a moment’s thought, Ye Yao figured that it must be due to their ability. One careless slip, and they had tumbled into a parallel world.

But if their ability was truly tied to parallel universes, they would definitely rank among the top ten Sequence Espers.

Then again, maybe they weren’t powerful enough to freely traverse across dimensions.

With that, Ye Yao finally felt relieved.

The last companion wasn’t in any real danger, just a little far away, separated by an entire time and space.

No wonder Tu Sheng said it would be hard to bring them back.

After all, the ability【Fission】clearly didn’t have the power to travel through time and space, let alone reach parallel worlds.

An ordinary person might have given up at the thought.

But was Ye Yao ordinary?

Just because【Fission】couldn’t freely cross dimensions didn’t mean the system was completely helpless.

Spending just 100 attribute points to enter a brand-new world was an incredible deal!

Ye Yao had initially thought that the system was being greedy, but it turned out to be a bargain!

What were 100 attribute points?

Even if it was two or three hundred, Ye Yao would still be willing to spend them!

After all, once her strength reached a certain level, she didn’t need that many attribute points anymore.

Unless an even stronger enemy appeared, the over 100 million mental power from Attribute Fission was more than enough.

“System, I admit you’ve transformed into a dragon. Keep up the good work!”

Then, Ye Yao continued asking the system for answers.

It was clear that after the upgrade, the system had become much more intelligent.

“System, what do you mean by ‘a timeline where I don’t exist’?”

【The ability “Fission” is unique, so there will never be a second one. This ability is bound to the host, and thus, the host is also unique.】

“I see.”

Ye Yao understood.

Uniqueness was an easy concept to grasp.

It was a common idea in various films and stories.

As long as she existed in this time and space, there would be no version of her in another.

Ye Yao didn’t have to worry about another her suddenly appearing to fight for her identity.

Not that she was concerned anyway.

She knew herself well.

That said, the parallel world where the last Sequence Zero member resided contained a startling variable.

If that world had no world-destroying ability, what would it have become?

If such an ability suddenly descended upon that world, what changes would it bring?

What had become of the Sequence Zero that had never encountered her?

What about the Dayun Truck and the Countermeasures Bureau?

She was curious.

Very curious.

Ye Yao desperately wanted to see for herself.

But now wasn’t the time. The alien invasion had just ended, and there were still many loose ends to tie up.

She would need some time to prepare before embarking on a journey.

Also, she couldn’t just vanish completely.

She could send a fission body out, or let it impersonate the original, to see what it felt like to exist in two realities at once.

It might be a fascinating experience.

For now, she would just lie low for a while!

There would be plenty to do in the meantime.

The day after the interstellar stray dog was kicked to death.

Reconstruction efforts were in full swing.

The aliens had caused extensive damage, with the Capital being hit the hardest. Aside from the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, almost no buildings remained intact.

The frequent, violent tremors alone had been enough to crack houses and structures.

Other places weren’t much better off either.

After the arrival of the interstellar overlord and the all-out efforts of Lou Wei and Fu Qi, the residual waves had triggered various natural disasters, resulting in significant losses.

Superstorms, earthquakes, tsunamis, all were major catastrophes.

Many areas needed to be rebuilt from scratch.

Fortunately, this planet had been transformed into Super Bluestar, and humans were now superhumans. With the help of all kinds of abilities, reconstruction wasn’t entirely hopeless.

The civil engineering brothers had returned to the fray, launching large-scale renovations.

One could only say that they were having the time of their lives pouring concrete.

At this moment, civil engineering Espers are Tier 0 Espers!

Of course, others who couldn’t directly participate in reconstruction also had their own tasks.

Right after the Bluestar defense battle ended, many still felt dazed and lost, but by the next day, they had largely relaxed.

This was undoubtedly a great victory for human civilization. How could some alien bumpkins ever defeat the invincible guardians of Bluestar?

Not to mention the Great Emperor Tong Yao and the unbeatable Great Emperor Ye Ge.

With two supremes in one house guarding Bluestar, even interstellar overlords would have to take a detour.

As network signals were rapidly restored, the internet instantly exploded with activity.

Countless videos appeared on streaming platforms, all footage of the battles recorded by bystanders.

Of course, they had all filmed the images shown on the All-Knowing Demon Eye’s light screens, so they were just screen-recording enthusiasts.

Given their frail bodies, they probably would’ve been killed by the shockwaves before even getting close to the battlefield.

“Holy crap! Watching these amazing fights, I’m never watching any movie or anime unless it has scenes this epic.”

“Turns out Dragon Country had so many hidden experts. Even though many couldn’t beat the alien monsters, the fact that they could fight those things with human bodies is incredible!”

“I remember there was an S-rank bigshot named Li Tang in the Countermeasures Bureau. All his animal friends are dead. I wonder if he’s devastated.”

“Was any of them his wife? No big deal, he can just find new animal friends to bond with.”

Netizens were wildly discussing everything that had happened the day before.

The sheer volume of information from just one day was terrifying.

It would probably take a long time to fully process.

Just the battle footage alone could fuel endless discussion.

For example, which Sequence Zero member fought whom, or which Countermeasures Bureau agent fought whom.

The internet was as lively as the New Year— no, even livelier, completely washing away the unease and fear brought by the alien enemies.

Meanwhile, Ye Yao was also browsing the web.

The Countermeasures Bureau didn’t seem to be summoning her for a talk yet. They were probably still in meetings.

After all, Ye Yao now knew the whole truth, including the things the Bureau had concealed.

Although they knew from Fang Ze that Ye Yao wasn’t extremely upset, they still needed to tread carefully.

And then there was the heavyweight “Ye Ge”.

She could burst into the Countermeasures Bureau and wreak havoc at any moment.

Thus, the Bureau’s higher-ups continued to tread on thin ice, never quite making it to solid ground.

Ye Yao wasn’t worried at all.

The Bureau was the one in a hurry. She could just wait for their notice.

With “Ye Ge” drawing all the attention, there was no way she would remain under constant surveillance.

Time to slack off and enjoy herself!
