Esper X Family – Chapter 509 – No Need for a Resurrection Match

Ye Yao stood quietly at the door.

She didn’t even dare to probe inside with her mental power.

She was terrified of seeing Mo Qiuli’s memorial tablet hanging prominently in the hall.

After all, given the Flame Demon’s stats, Mo Qiuli charging in would’ve been nothing more than an easy kill.

At the time, there wasn’t a single high-level Esper from the Countermeasures Bureau capable of interrupting the enemy’s action.

Without Ye Yao’s protection, Mo Qiuli would almost certainly have died.

By all logic, the magical girl Mercury of this timeline should’ve retired early.

At this moment, the original timeline’s fission body Ye Yao couldn’t help but take Mo Qiuli’s hand and whisper softly:

“I hope Little Mo didn’t die.”

“Ye Yao, what are you saying? I’m perfectly alive and well.”

Mo Qiuli looked at Ye Yao in confusion, having no idea what she meant.

It couldn’t be a curse, right?

That would be far too contrary to the magical girl worldview of unity and friendship!

Ye Yao decided not to tell these little ones about the parallel world just yet.

It’s time for riddles!

“If Little Mo died, I’ll burn incense and offer prayers at your memorial. Your parents will become my parents too.”

“Huh?” Mo Qiuli nearly short-circuited and could only respond uncertainly, “Thanks…?”

She couldn’t help but fall into thought.

To be fair, being a magical girl was indeed a high-risk occupation, and the fatality rate wasn’t zero.

Some magical girl shows were anything but family friendly.

If she suddenly died in battle one day, Ye Yao’s promise seemed to show quite a lot of friendship.

Mo Qiuli beamed with delight.

“Yes, yes, as expected of my best partner!

Don’t worry, if Ye Yao suddenly falls in battle, I’ll take care of your parents just like you would!”

Ye Yao: “?”

What’s your current level?

And what’s my current level?

If I were to die, there would be only one possibility: I live as long as Heaven and Earth, understand?

But Ye Yao couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Because the door of Mo Qiuli’s house in the parallel world had already opened.

The one opening the door was Mo Qiuli’s mother.

Even though three years had passed, the auntie’s face showed little sign of aging.

After all, three years wasn’t really that long.

She looked at the petite, adorable, silver-haired girl standing at the door with a puzzled expression, having no memory of her at all.

If she had met such a cute little girl before, she surely would have remembered her.

“Excuse me, you are…?”

“Hello, my name is Ye Yao. I’m a friend of Mo Qiuli. Is she home?”

Ye Yao gave a brief self-introduction.

Although she hadn’t met the Mo Qiuli of this world yet, calling herself a “friend” was absolutely valid across time and space!

No problem at all.

While introducing herself, Ye Yao also observed the auntie’s expression.

If the auntie looked sad when hearing the name “Mo Qiuli”, it would mean that something had happened to her.

If not, then Mo Qiuli was still safe and sound.

Fortunately, the auntie’s expression remained perfectly normal. She was surprised, but not overly suspicious.

This indicated that Mo Qiuli hadn’t had to prepare for a resurrection match yet. It seemed like nothing unexpected had happened.

Could it be that the Mo Qiuli of this timeline had made a perfect escape during the Flame Demon incident?

Ye Yao breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

At least she wasn’t dead.

She had no idea how to resurrect family members.

The system didn’t have a “watch an ad to revive family member” feature. It was truly useless.

The auntie gave a warm, friendly smile.

“So you’re Qiuli’s friend. She’s not back yet, but she should be home soon. Come inside and have a seat.”

She showed no suspicion toward Ye Yao.

After all, with such an obedient cute girl, who would believe she was lying?

This was the confidence Ye Yao’s character modeling gave her!

It never failed to win over the elders.

Xiao Jing, Cheng Muxue, and Chen Wan Ting could all attest to that!

“Thank you, Auntie~”

Of course, Ye Yao wouldn’t refuse the auntie’s invitation.

It was perfect that Mo Qiuli wasn’t home. She could take a look around and see what was going on.

Then, Ye Yao walked into the living room, sat obediently on the sofa, and let her gaze drift around, quietly observing the layout.

Great, no memorial tablet for Mo Qiuli.

She’s alive!

This made the original timeline’s Ye Yao hug the utterly bewildered Mo Qiuli.

Rеaԁ oո КatReαdinɡСаfе

“This is wonderful, Little Mo! You survived!”

“Huh? But… I’ve always been alive, though…”

Mo Qiuli looked a little wronged.

Did Ye Yao imagine some timeline where she had already died?

Namusan ¹ Short for 南无三宝namo sanbao (hail to the three treasures of Buddhism), which is a common prayer for salvation when in danger. Nowadays its kinda used for “damn”, or “seriously?”. , how merciless.

In that imagined timeline of Ye Yao’s, the Magical Girl Alliance must’ve faced a very powerful enemy, right?

Mo Qiuli’s expression turned resolute.

No matter what, the magical girl movie they were preparing had to be a happy, family-friendly one, a story where no one would die.

Ye Yao was running three simultaneous operations with masterful skill.

In the parallel timeline, she had already taken a sip of water poured by the auntie and was waiting for Mo Qiuli to come home.

As for Ye Ge’s side…

The Sentinel Organization’s main base had clearly been reduced to ashes, leaving not a single trace behind.

Satellite imagery showed that the original foundation had turned into a bottomless abyss.

Unlike a crater left by a meteor, this was nothing less than a divine mark left by someone who had stepped into the realm of gods.

Normally, if a power capable of creating such a spectacle had fully erupted, it could’ve shattered the continental plate and possibly triggered a catastrophic chain reaction across the entire planet.

Every single person watching via satellite almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Breaking out in a cold sweat or feeling faint would be considered mild.

No one who saw it could stay calm.

Fortunately, that enormous energy didn’t detonate. It had bored deep into the ground and vanished.

No one doubted that such power could reach the earth’s core.

The fact that such terrifying force could be retracted at will proved the black-haired woman’s unparalleled mastery.

Was she really an Esper?

Reaԁ оո KαtRеаdinɡСαfе

Was the Esper Class really this overpowered?

What the hell!

By now, the figure that had created such a catastrophic wonder had long disappeared, beyond even satellite tracking.

She came as she pleased, and left as she pleased.

As if she had simply brushed away some dust.

Now, many people were deeply unsettled.

Leaders of countries even smaller than the Yunited States couldn’t help but call and demand answers.

“Mr. Byron! What exactly did you do to provoke such retaliation?!

If her wrath spills over to other countries, can you take responsibility?!”

No one questioned the Dragon Country.

If the Dragon Country could control such power, it would’ve already challenged the world on its own.

Although they had someone like Lou Wei, they still didn’t seem to have that kind of confidence.

Only the mysterious woman who had just appeared was different.

She had definitely reached a realm humanity couldn’t touch!

Calling her a god among mortals wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

So, how did the Yunited States’ Sentinel Organization manage to provoke her?

The annihilation of a major country’s Esper organization in an instant, was enough to send violent shockwaves through the global Esper community!

But Byron’s mind was equally blank.

“I don’t know! How should I know?! Go ask the Dragon Country!”
