Esper X Family – Chapter 658 – Spamming Trash Moves Is Just Overwhelming

The expedition fleet’s offensive measures might not have been particularly sci-fi, and they were nothing as imaginative as a “two-dimensional foil ¹ The dimension reduction strike that’s been mentioned a lot. The weapon basically compresses targets to two dimension. ”.

But they were devastating enough. Just the visual spectacle alone was “deafening”!

“Void Heaven!”

For two magical girls who had stepped into the domain of gods, ordinary attacks were no longer a threat.

But this was a saturation strike from the expeditionary fleet. It contained not just mental power energy attacks, but also many incomprehensible fusion elements.

The very moment it fired, it extinguished half of the “artificial suns” Lou Weiwei had ignited!

Fu Qiqi tried to interfere with its trajectory, only to find that it also contained terrifying spatial power.

Coupled with energy values far exceeding ten million, even Fu Qiqi, with her spatial ability, could barely make a dent.

At best, at the critical moment, she managed to split the saturation strike into dozens of beams to disperse its power.

If she were stronger, she might have been able to refract it right back and let the fleet taste its own firepower.

But unfortunately, the enemy’s numbers were higher!

After that saturation strike, the battlefield was completely transformed.

The space debris that had been floating everywhere vanished without a trace. Even the lifeless celestial bodies Fu Qiqi had drawn in were mostly obliterated.

Only a few burning planets remained to serve as fuel for Lou Weiwei.

Inside the flagship.

Gray Marsh stared at the two surviving targets on the detection screen and let out a cold snort.

“Hmph. Not bad.”

It had been meant as a simple show of force.

Gray Marsh hadn’t expected such crude attacks to finish them off.

That barrage had been more of a means to clear the field.

And now, the battlefield looked much cleaner.

To deal with powerful individuals, one had to use countermeasures.

“Report! Main cannons are on cooldown! Shall we continue with heavy siege fire?”

Gray Marsh quickly gave orders.

“Deploy multi-purpose secondary cannons for harassment! Activate the silence field! Weaken their mental power and crush them in one blow!

Since they’ve dared to challenge our authority, they must pay a heavy price.”

White Comet had long since handed command over to Gray Marsh and was even willing to follow his orders.

But Gray Marsh didn’t want to borrow White Comet’s power. It wasn’t time yet.

He wanted to show this woman who was better suited to be commander!

As the expeditionary fleet entered its second phase, everyone finally caught a glimpse of just how terrifying the Watcher Civilization’s methods could be.

Black Haze quietly stuck close to Ye Yao and explained in a soft voice.

“Watcher Civilization technology incorporates many traits from cosmic lifeforms, essentially considered biotechnology. By now, our civilization can use mental power as a carrier to compile specialized effects.

For example, many secondary cannons come with a host of targeted effects, including ‘ignore mental defense’, ‘matter-altering residual emissions’, ‘energy dispersion’, and my ‘Hypothetical Black Hole’ which absorbs, compresses, and then detonates mental power…”

As Black Haze explained, the battlefield shifted with every passing second.

At this level of warfare, even Sen Tong could barely keep up.

If not for Ye Yao’s enhancement, she would’ve melted like butter in the terrifying aftershocks by now.

This wasn’t an anime, and there were no close-up shots for people to linger over.

Sen Tong could only broadcast the highlights and try to optimize the stream’s quality as best she could.

For example, the fleet deployed swarms of drone devices that could block mental perception and perform spatial teleportation, appearing right in front of the two magical girls in an instant.

In a flash, they worked in tandem with other devices to seal them in.

Although the mental cages created by the drone swarms were quickly broken, they were followed by a deluge of secondary cannon fire.

Their firing trajectories had already formed a dense web of residual matter that continuously eroded Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi’s mental power.

Of course, the two magical girls seized many opportunities to strike back at the expedition fleet.

Fu Qiqi seemingly unleashed a domain expansion, sending countless slashes concentrated at a single point, almost like a death by a thousand cuts grinding against the fleet’s spatial defenses.

Lou Weiwei took advantage of that to attack the weakened spots before they could be repaired, using an artificial sun as her weapon.

Stars shattered!

Flames burst forth!

In just one minute, all the celestial bodies Fu Qiqi had pulled in had been shattered, including the planets Lou Weiwei had ignited.

Besides the fleet itself and the two magical girls, nothing remained in this space.

Even the ring space itself was teetering on the brink of collapse under the relentless spatial attacks.

The audience was stunned, watching this level of battle for the first time.

“Heavens, if this war were in the solar system, we’d be wiped out long ago…”

“Are planets just obstacles and consumables in this war?”

“That firepower is terrifying… is this the Watcher Civilization?”

“How come the new form gets beaten down the moment it appears? Are we Void Heaven fans really just underdogs?”

Rеаԁ οո KαtRеadіոɡСаfе

“Oh no, it’s looking like we’re heading toward a defeat CG!”

“Where’s Great Emperor Tong Yao? Great Emperor Tong Yao, save us!”

Inside the ring space.

Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi felt their mental power rapidly draining away, the divine light fading from their eyes.

The radiance around them dimmed considerably.

Especially Lou Weiwei. The halo above her head was nearly extinguished.

Unless she could will an “inner sun” into existence through sheer conviction, she truly couldn’t maintain her enhanced form any longer.

Fu Qiqi was in a similar state. After the fierce battle, the entire space was collapsing, equivalent to the death of the small galaxy.

The expedition fleet was a unified offense-defense system, with sky-high stats and an overwhelming number of mechanics.

After one saturation strike came another.

Spamming trash moves was just too overwhelming.

Originally, Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi had hoped to use Xing Lan’s power to fight a war of attrition against the fleet.

But now, it seemed that they were the ones more likely to be worn down.

“Xing Lan!”

Under the influence of the immense mental power, both of them got carried away, clearly signaling their intention to keep borrowing from the world-destroying ability.

“Coo?”

Xing Lan had been perched atop Lou Weiwei’s head the whole time, acting as a spectator in the front-row. She was calm and quiet, as if the fierce battle hadn’t affected her at all.

“You’ve reached your limit, you know. If you keep this up, you’ll lose your minds.”

Rеaԁ on КаtReаⅾiոɡСαfе

Xing Lan figured that it was time.

The next moment.

The remaining mental power of Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi vanished instantly.

The ring space shattered, and the two of them, along with the fleet, returned to the original solar system.

The residual battle aftershocks disappeared with the collapse of the space, never making it back to the solar system.

Otherwise, they would have caused catastrophic devastation.

Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi dropped out of their advanced forms, with only one step left before they fully reverted and rolled on the ground in defeat ² Detransformation. .

Upon returning to the solar system, the distant fleet re-entered its silent state, clearly unwilling to accidentally destroy Blue Star and lose their mission target.

Returned to their base stats, Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi fell silent.

They had given it everything and still couldn’t win. The Watcher Civilization’s tech tree, which was perfectly integrated with mental power, had produced an unreasonable monster.

And this was an entire fleet, with endurance, damage, and defense all maxed out.

They gave their everything and still couldn’t win!

Then, Xing Lan’s voice echoed in their minds.

“Hehe~ It’s my turn now! Don’t worry, watch me crush them!”

With a burst of white light from the mysterious little fat bird, a petite girl with small wings growing from her head made a dazzling appearance!

This was the first time Xing Lan had revealed her human form to the world!

It seems like there’s something wrong with the new mouse I bought. It stopped working after only two days of use. I’ll try charging it fully. I think I’ll have to buy a wired mouse.
