Esper X Family – Chapter 57 – I Have Ascended to Godhood!

How high is Gu Wenxin’s mental power again?

Ye Yao turned her head to glance.

【Mental Power: 2,850】

A value close to three thousand.

The last time Ye Yao used Rescue Mode was when she saved Mo Qiuli.

At that time, she obtained one-tenth of Mo Qiuli’s attribute value, and a single fission allowed her to instantly kill a B-rank Esper.

Now that Gu Wenxin was in danger.

The system activated Rescue Mode once again.

“Sigh, you’ve really put me in a tough spot…”

Ye Yao took a step forward, but Xia Lian quickly grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing, White Catty? Now’s not the time to show yourself.”

Xia Lian’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She hadn’t expected an S-rank Esper to arrive so quickly.

It seemed that Gu Wenxin’s value was far greater than imagined.

Not ranked in the top ten, yet comparable to them.

Logically, the S-rank Esper’s attention should have been drawn to Mu Luo.

But the opponent must have found Mu Luo untouchable and, upon hearing about the appearance of Sequence 011, rushed over to deal with the easier target.

Xia Lian bit her thumbnail, the anxiety in her heart growing.

It was even harder for her to intervene now.

Facing an S-rank Esper was suicide.

Even if they all fought together, Mu Luo might not be able to save Gu Wenxin in time.

Should they abandon Gu Wenxin?

“Leave it to me.”

Ye Yao pushed Xia Lian’s hand away. Thankfully the latter wasn’t using much force.

“Leave it to you? You can’t even beat me.”

Xia Lian’s expression was grave, devoid of her usual ease.

“Even if you show the same strength as that night when we fought, you’ll be useless against an S-rank Esper.”

“It’s fine. Family is the source of my strength. I won’t abandon any of you.”

Ye Yao looked calm.

Rеαⅾ οո ΚatReаⅾіnɡСаfе

She casually added one-tenth of Gu Wenxin’s attribute value to herself.

【Ability: Fission

Mental Power: 38 → 323

Strength: 5 → 63

Stamina: 5 → 24

Agility: 5 → 84

Unassigned Attribute Points: 10】

Ye Yao couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Ahahaha~”

After all, she might be diagnosed with severe depression if she couldn’t laugh now.

“Huh?”

Xia Lian was surprised to feel Ye Yao’s mental power skyrocket.

Although it hadn’t broken through to B-rank, it had reached the level of a strong C-rank.

But Ye Yao had only been a weak D-rank before. How did she suddenly achieve such a huge leap?

Xia Lian immediately thought of Ye Yao’s sudden surge in strength during their fight the night before.

But the strength she had shown then was much greater than now.

Reverse growth?

At that moment, Ye Yao’s body was enveloped by black mist from below, while her body was slowly being lifted by her mental power.

Mu Luo had returned to the group at some point, his expression serious.

“Let’s retreat. I’ll find a chance to bring Gu Wenxin back later. Now’s not the time to clash with an S-rank Esper head-on.”

He had intended to quickly evacuate everyone, but he noticed that a white-haired loli was missing.

Looking up…

He saw that she was floating in mid-air.

“What is she doing?”

Ye Yao was feeling the changes brought by the sudden increase in her base stats.

She had genuinely reached C-rank.

Not just a temporary boost from attribute fission.

But Ye Yao hadn’t felt the possibility of a second fission.

“Hmm, maybe the leap wasn’t big enough to count as growth?”

She could ask Luo Jianhua about it later.

She should focus on the task at hand.

“It’s fine even if I can’t fission again. After all, right now…”

Ye Yao paused, then activated attribute fission.

In an instant, her aura skyrocketed!

【Ability: Fission

Mental Power: 104,329

Strength: 3,969

Stamina: 576

Agility: 7,056】

“I Have Ascended to Godhood.”

At this moment, Ye Yao felt as if she could see the entirety of this world.

From the fluttering of butterflies to the first gust of wind over the ocean.

“!?”

The S-rank Esper floating in the air immediately sensed this terrifying aura.

He wanted to turn around and observe, but he found his body completely immobilized.

Not just him.

The entire city fell into an eerie stillness.

Ye Yao’s immense mental power spread everywhere.

The burning flames on the surrounding cars froze in place, suspended in the air like a still image.

The previously roaring river also fell into dead silence.

Time continued to flow.

But every molecule had stopped moving.

Ye Yao’s mental power was now precise enough to affect molecular motion.

She could even forcibly halt it.

The white-haired girl floating in the air was no longer shrouded in black mist.

But no one could clearly see her appearance.

She was like a glowing sun.

Shining equally upon everyone.

Rеаd οո КαtRеαԁingCаfе

Only Mu Luo and the others remained unaffected.

Jiang Huashen stared up at Ye Yao, dumbfounded.

“Supreme beauty…”

【Jiang Huashen has gained a surge of inspiration. Reward: 10 attribute points.】

Xia Lian tilted her head as she suddenly had a blasphemous thought.

“God is a catty?”

Mu Luo finally realized something.

The Sequence Esper he had brought out from that residential complex was no ordinary one.

This terrifying power…

Even Lou Wei couldn’t match it!

What’s her Sequence number?

Only the foremost Sequence could be worthy of this level of power!

Ye Yao snapped out of her daze and looked around at the affected environment.

She didn’t expand the influence further, maintaining it within a small area instead.

Pretending to have reached her limit.

“Is this what being invincible feels like?”

Ye Yao clenched her fist, feeling as if she could obliterate an entire city with a wave of her hand.

Fortunately, there were no signs of her power going out of control.

The immense mental power from fission was still under her command.

Otherwise, she might have accidentally destroyed the world.

Ye Yao slowly descended to Xia Lian and the others, her body still radiating a sacred glow.

It was the materialization of her vast mental power.

Xia Lian wasn’t frightened by Ye Yao’s outburst of power. Instead, she curiously approached the white-haired girl and began observing her.

“White Catty is this powerful? Did you hold back during our fight last night?”

“What can you do now?”

“Can you pull the moon down from the sky?”

“By the way, we should hurry and rescue your true body. Even Lou Wei won’t stand a chance against you now!”

Xia Lian chattered excitedly, spouting a stream of whimsical ideas.

There was not a trace of reverence for the powerful!

Rеаԁ оո КatRеαԁіnɡСafе

Ye Yao was certain now.

No matter how powerful she became, Xia Lian would always treat her like a cat.

Completely unfazed by the fact that someone of her caliber could obliterate everyone with a single ‘hiss’.

Mu Luo finally spoke up, “What do you plan to do next?”

Ye Yao’s power had surpassed his.

Only she could decide the next course of action.

Ye Yao blinked, “This state won’t last long. I’ll soon return to normal.”

After all, it was Rescue Mode.

It would deactivate once Gu Wenxin was out of danger.

“Is that so? Then let’s take Gu Wenxin and leave. There’s no need to entangle ourselves with the Countermeasures Bureau.”

Mu Luo ultimately held his bottom line.

He had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to wipe out the Countermeasures Bureau.

He simply wanted to find the hidden Sequence Espers.

It was a pity that Ye Yao’s current state couldn’t be maintained for long.

There might even be severe side effects.

He couldn’t ask her to help at the cost of harming herself.

Mu Luo acted quickly.

Soon, he brought back Gu Wenxin, who was covered in wounds.

“ Huff… huff. ..”

Gu Wenxin was gasping for breath.

Clearly, he had been under immense pressure from the S-rank Esper.

“Thank you…”

Ye Yao smiled lightly, hands on her hips, “Hehe~ No need to thank me~”

The white-haired girl glanced at the frozen area.

Rescue Mode was about to deactivate.

The power ten times greater than the Dayun Truck’s strength would soon fade.

“So~ What mischief should I do before leaving?”
