Esper X Family – Chapter 503 – Parallel World! The Journey Begins!

Ye Yao could hardly wait.

For now, she didn’t plan to tell the other family members about this.

The parallel world was full of unknowns. Although there probably wouldn’t be any danger, unpleasant things might still happen.

Ye Yao felt that it was better to explore it alone first before she considered telling the others.

Besides, even if she told them, it probably wouldn’t help.

They likely couldn’t go to the parallel world either.

The system’s void-breaking mechanism seemed to only support the host’s travel.

It was a pity that they couldn’t form a party.

But the system probably had other functions that could be exploited. She could look into that later.

“So, here’s the question: should I go in person or send a fission body?”

Ye Yao rubbed her chin seriously.

Logically, she definitely couldn’t send herself and all fission bodies out at once. She had to leave at least one at the headquarters.

Otherwise, her family members might panic if they couldn’t find her.

Especially those clingy little ones by her side.

A short time apart was fine. Ye Yao believed that with her upbringing, they wouldn’t be unable to live without her.

But if she stayed away too long, not just Luo Jianhua and the other girls, but even the adults might become lost and dejected.

She was, after all, an individual who possessed a world-destroying ability.

Ye Yao quickly made a decision.

“I’ll leave one fission body in this world.”

Ye Yao planned to go in person and bring one fission body along to avoid inconvenience.

Rеаⅾ οո КаtRеαdіngCаfе

Leaving just one “Ye Yao” should be enough.

There was no need to worry about Sequence Zero. Mu Luo and the others had their own lives.

An Qi and Xia Lian could freely come and go from the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, so there was no need to fear that they would feel lonely.

Her only worry was that one Ye Yao might not be enough to go around.

But it should be fine for a short while.

Everyone had things to do during this time anyway.

For instance, Mo Qiuli was preparing a magical girl movie. Wu Mi and the others would definitely appear in it, and they would inevitably be pestered by Mo Qiuli.

As for Xia Lian, that addict hooked on “White Catty”, she didn’t matter as much.

She could find her own substitute. Missing a few “doses” wouldn’t be a big problem.

As for why not send a fission body…

The duration was still a bit of a flaw.

Although after Ye Yao’s mental power reached B-rank, the fission body’s duration greatly increased, and it could last a long time even without Cycle.

But who knew how long she would stay in the parallel world?

Ye Yao would definitely use her ability frequently and display great power, and Wu Mi’s Cycle state would easily shatter.

Wu Mi’s mental power was still too low.

It could only assist Ye Yao in her normal state, at most allowing her to use unlimited Myriad Things Fission, Meter Reversal.

But the energy produced by that fission had little function beyond offense.

It wasn’t as versatile as the mental power displayed on the panel.

The system’s “Encouragement” function might allow Wu Mi to apply a high-value Cycle state.

But the conditions for using that skill were somewhat harsh.

It would require Wu Mi to experience a strong upheaval of her mind or will.

How could Ye Yao bear to do that?

Then, she thought of the【Assist】entry on the system.

“Ah, I was too hasty. I should’ve picked【Assist】first. Wu Mi with stats is practically a god!”

Unfortunately, the attribute points had already been spent.

Even if she could still activate it with the remaining unallocated attribute points, she wouldn’t have any left for traveling to the parallel world.

【Assist】could be considered an upgraded version of “Encouragement.”

“Encouragement’s” only remaining advantage might be its disregard for distance.

The basic level of【Assist】still required physical contact to power up family members.

Once【Assist】reached MAX, “Encouragement” could basically be thrown into the warehouse to gather dust with the “Black Mist”.

But she didn’t have enough attribute points.

She could only hope that the parallel world would drop lots of coins.

Then, Ye Yao took a deep breath, withdrew “Ye Ge”, and left only “Ye Tong” outside.

From now on, “Ye Tong” would act as the real Ye Yao, serving as a mascot at the Countermeasures Bureau and doing livestreams.

Those old-timers probably wouldn’t notice.

Perhaps they would notice that the frequency of Ye Tong and Ye Ge’s appearances had greatly decreased, but as long as Ye Yao was still there, it was fine.

With that, everything was ready!

“Wait, I should send one fission body over first, just in case the connection between the main body and the fission body is severed and causes the fission body to disappear. I’m super cautious!”

Fortunately, Ye Yao stopped in time and didn’t directly have her main body breach through spacetime.

Sending a fission body to scout first, then having the main body set out. That was the safest plan!

“Ye Ge! I choose you!”

With Ye Yao’s declaration, a black-haired woman appeared in front of her and issued a command for the system’s family location.

【Successfully deducted 100 attribute points. Traveling to the locked target’s space-time… Wishing the Host a pleasant journey.】

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 50】

The next second.

Ye Ge vanished into thin air, leaving Ye Yao behind to experience a strange feeling.

The sky was clear and sunny.

This was a planet that had never been ravaged by terrifying forces.

No massive storms had ever appeared, no large-scale tsunamis, and no traces of alien invasion.

Everything seemed ordinary and common.

This was an era that had never been blessed by any “divine miracle”.

On the entire blue planet, ordinary people without abilities still made up the majority, with only Espers forming niche groups of ability-users.

To ordinary people, supernatural powers like abilities were just a legend.

There had been no “Massive Sea Storm Incident”, no “Vengeful Spirit Attack Incident”, and of course, no subsequent “Bluestar Defense Battle Incident”.

In a world without Ye Yao, the difference was earth-shattering.

This was still an era where S-rank Espers could be considered supreme grandmasters.

To Ye Yao, it was simply too backward.

A black-haired woman floated high in the sky in a reclining posture, seemingly enjoying this relaxed feeling with contentment.

“So this is what it feels like to have one consciousness in two space-times? It’s no different from usual.”

Ye Ge murmured to herself.

She had successfully breached the world barrier and arrived in a brand new, unknown world.

However, one thing surprised Ye Ge.

She hadn’t appeared near the “family member”. Instead, she had appeared directly in this patch of sky.

It seemed like the large span had prevented the system from precisely locating her.

But that didn’t matter.

As long as she had reached this space-time, Ye Ge could rely on her own power to find the person, as long as they were in the same space.

“Family Location Sharing.”

A light screen appeared before Ye Ge, and the light dot representing the last Sequence Zero companion blinked on the flat surface.

Without a doubt, this was the space-time where that little buddy was!

Ye Yao checked the connection between the main body and the fission body.

“The time flow seems the same. No signal lag. Looks like the fission body won’t disconnect because of this.”

The white-haired girl in the original space-time tentatively checked the situation.

“System, take me to the other me.”

【Would you like to consume 5 attribute points?】

Eh? Is the cost decreased after breaching the barrier?

That makes things easier!

I need help. I haven’t eaten a single meal since May, and my situation is getting worse and worse. I haven’t slept a single night since May. I really don’t understand why society puts people under so much pressure. I don’t know how I’m going to survive…
