Esper X Family – Chapter 572 – Extremely Domineering

Ye Yao flew through the air.

She didn’t immediately check on parallel Fu Qi’s condition.

After all, she had personally elbowed him.

To forcibly interrupt parallel Fu Qi’s Void Form, a ruthless elbow strike was necessary. He would be bouncing back after some rest.

Parallel Lou Wei, on the other hand, looked far worse.

He had gone from a Solar Corona Form firecracker to a super-sized one.

Ye Ge had almost performed an emergency dismantling and reassembly on the spot.

By now, parallel Lou Wei was likely hanging on by a thread.

Given his constitution, he would probably need ten days to half a month to recover.

Honestly, it was pretty extreme. He was barely human at all.

Ye Yao descended to the edge of the crater where parallel Lou Wei lay and spotted the shirtless man still smoking profusely, looking utterly disheveled.

She cast “transformation magic”, pulling clothes from a painting scroll and using her mental power to dress him, preserving the old man’s last shred of dignity.

After all, there were children watching on screen, so inappropriate scenes were not allowed.

Ye Yao cautiously floated to the center of the crater and lightly poked parallel Lou Wei’s body with the tip of her wand.

“Oi… are you okay? Squeak if you’re not dead.”

But parallel Lou Wei didn’t move. Only his still-beating heart proved that he was alive.

Meanwhile, within his hazy consciousness, parallel Lou Wei was reviewing the battle deep in his soul.

Given his state, a full recovery was impossible.

Even now, his thoughts were still fixated on how to defeat Ye Ge.

The lingering remnant of the Vengeful Spirit continued to echo.

At this point, parallel Lou Wei…

Realized that he had lost.

Completely and utterly lost.

Even after allying with Ye Ge’s natural enemy, the Vengeful Spirit, he couldn’t defeat her.

Just as she had said, she was invincible.

Fighting her had been a flawed approach from the start.

The possibility of “defeating Ye Ge” simply didn’t exist in this world.

At the same time, Ye Ge had implied that the true target was someone else.

What was she hinting at?

No one answered parallel Lou Wei’s doubts.

Only the incessant howl of the Vengeful Spirit’s remnant clouded his mind.

【Beside you! Beside you! The enemy is right beside you! Destroy it! DESTROY IT! NOW!!!】

“Oiiii, Fathe— Mr. Lou Wei, don’t die!”

The white-haired girl’s voice reached parallel Lou Wei’s consciousness.

In reality.

Parallel Lou Wei’s fingers twitched slightly, then he curled up and stood back up.

His consciousness was already fragmented, driven only by instinct and his final will.

Pushed along by the Vengeful Spirit.

A few fragmented thoughts flashed through his blank mind.

He seemed to have overlooked something.

Ye Ge and Lullaby were allies from the start.

Based on Ye Ge’s hints, it seemed that Lullaby was easier to eliminate.

If he eliminated Lullaby, that would be equivalent to defeating Ye Ge.

The Vengeful Spirit’s instinctive reaction undoubtedly confirmed this.

What a… long detour.

Power surged again within parallel Lou Wei. The Vengeful Spirit even sacrificed everything for a single, lethal strike!

“That’s great! Mr. Lou Wei, you’re finally awake! Huh? Why are you making that expression?”

Ye Yao stepped back half a pace, looking a bit wronged and innocent, as if she was frightened.

Lou Wei’s face showed no trace of human warmth.

Cold killing intent filled his eyes, his expression utterly ruthless and indifferent.

This next strike didn’t even need to secure the kill.

He only needed to strike. He only needed to launch the final attack.

Rеaԁ on ΚаtReαdіոgСаfе

That was typical of the Vengeful Spirit’s mindset.

At the same time.

Parallel Fu Qi had finished processing the mysterious small images that had appeared in his mind.

After digesting that information, he felt like the sky had fallen.

What did it mean that the other parallel world had already cleared the game, and as long as Ye Yao was fine, everything was fine?

And what did it mean that “Ye Yao” might be a little angel just passing through on a visit?

While Ye Ge might simply want an excuse to beat up the arrogant Lou Wei and himself from the parallel world?

In other words, Ye Ge just wanted to fight hard and didn’t know how to hold back when communicating.

Ye Yao, on the other hand, couldn’t control Ye Ge.

The latter likely inherited the former’s core programming. She wouldn’t really destroy the world over a disagreement.

It was all a misunderstanding.

Then, what was all the stress he had been under recently?

Was it his to bear?

Sensing the familiar aura flaring up again nearby…

Parallel Fu Qi panicked!

If it were the Ye Ge and Ye Tong from his memories, they at least gave off a sense of adulthood. Even if they made mistakes, it wouldn’t weigh too heavily on one’s conscience.

But the one here was very likely the real Ye Yao herself!

The light of the Countermeasures Bureau, the hope of the world, his dear niece…

If she suffered psychological trauma, whether from Lou Wei’s image in this timeline or the other, everything would be ruined!

“Wait! Lou Wei! Don’t strike! That’s your daughter!!”

It wasn’t just parallel Fu Qi.

The original Lou Wei and Fu Qi could no longer deceive themselves.

Reαԁ оո КαtRеadіnɡСаfe

That was Ye Yao!

It didn’t look like acting at all!

Ye Ge had unreasonably abducted Ye Yao and dumped her in a parallel world, leaving only the little devil Ye Tong at the headquarters to fool everyone.

How utterly heinous!

Even more critically, Ye Yao was about to face parallel Lou Wei, who was radiating cold-blooded killing intent toward her!

Even though she had experienced it indirectly through sharing Ye Tong’s memories, facing it directly was different!

This could no longer be treated as a separate matter.

As long as the counterpart wore that face and held that identity, Lou Wei couldn’t pretend that nothing was happening!

Bang!

Lou Wei slammed his hand on the table, his mood intensely agitated.

“Fu Qi, take me there now!”

“I can’t travel through worlds!”

Fu Qi was already straining himself, trying to comprehend the ability to travel through worlds, but of course, it was impossible.

There was no need for Xiao Jing or the others to pressure them.

Both of them were itching to reach through the screen and slap that delusional Lou Wei counterpart twice.

Parallel Fu Qi was shouting with all his might.

But he was far from recovered enough to move.

Parallel Lou Wei’s decision-making had already been replaced by the Vengeful Spirit’s core programming.

He couldn’t listen to anything now.

Ye Yao looked like she was witnessing a scene she didn’t want to see, her attitude apologetic and cautious.

“I-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lied… Could you please not make such a fierce face?”

At this moment, her previously unstoppable magical girl style faded.

Perhaps, having made a close family member truly angry, she was trying to correct her “mistake”.

Continuing to stir trouble in her magical girl persona wouldn’t suit Ye Yao’s character.

Rеαԁ оո KаtRеαdіnɡСαfе

But parallel Lou Wei still didn’t react.

He suddenly attacked, unleashing an overwhelmingly fierce killing intent!

The white-haired girl, as if adhering to the principle that “wrongdoing must be punished,” closed her eyes nervously and finally called out that title with a trembling voice.

“Father!”

Boom!!!

At that single call.

【Consumed 5 attribute points. Summon successful.】

Out of nowhere, a tall figure shielded Ye Yao behind him.

Lou Wei clamped down on parallel Lou Wei’s wrist with one hand, his immense mental power crushing down on the other party.

He didn’t turn to face Ye Yao behind him, only speaking in an apologetic voice.

“…Sorry. What comes next is a matter for us adults.

Don’t worry. I’ll resolve all this.”

Ye Yao blinked.

The old man is here!

Having the original Lou Wei clean up the mess would save a lot of trouble.

“Father, I…”

“You don’t need to explain. Whatever you do is right.”

Is… is that so?

It’s settled then!

Ye Yao puffed out her chest.

In other words, she won!
