Esper X Family – Chapter 662 – Xing Lan’s Swelling Ego

Gray Marsh’s reliance was undoubtedly the firepower of the entire expeditionary fleet.

As long as he could fully grasp this military force, as long as he was free from White Comet’s interference, Gray Marsh believed that he could accomplish anything, including resolving the source of the cosmic crisis deduced by the Evolutionary Divine Machine.

But what was happening now seemed to have completely shattered his backbone.

The entire Watcher Civilization had poured its heart and soul into building the largest-scale expeditionary fleet…

And now six other fleets had appeared!?

Was that even reasonable?

Was the world-destroying ability really this overbearing?

Now, targeted by the firepower of six major fleets, even the officers who had originally supported Gray Marsh gave up resisting.

What did it mean to have overwhelming firepower?

This was true overwhelming firepower!

Even Gray Marsh’s most trusted confidants could only shake their heads and sigh.

“Deputy Commander Gray Marsh, we’ve lost.”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It’s an illusion! Those are just false phantoms!”

Faced with this sudden reversal of fortune, even the usually composed Gray Marsh couldn’t help losing his composure.

He had thought that it would be a battle of equals at most.

But who could have expected the other side to pull out a cheat code?

They weren’t even pretending anymore!

Even the most even-tempered person would crack under these circumstances.

There was no room for any strategic maneuvering!

Gray Marsh would rather believe that he was hallucinating.

Yet, the staff analyzing the data gave a response that left everyone speechless.

“Based on the energy fluctuations we’ve detected, these fleets are real, and their overall structure is identical to ours.”

But these fleets that had appeared out of nowhere were not on their side. They had their weapons trained on them.

There was no playing this game.

No wonder the future held a catastrophic disaster for the Watcher Civilization.

That made sense. That made sense now…

White Comet didn’t continue looking at the dazed Gray Marsh. Instead, her gaze fixed on that small, delicate figure.

That power… is it really something an individual could wield?

Outside.

Xing Lan effortlessly used Myriad Things Fission to conjure six fleet groups out of thin air, silently securing the victory like a divine move on a chessboard.

Against an expeditionary fleet that couldn’t play fairly, there was no need for her to engage in a beam struggle.

This had been a smurfing operation ¹ 炸鱼zha yu is slang for high level players bullying low level ones in a game. from the start.

She had already done them a favor by playing along for so long.

If they still wanted to continue fighting, she would be a failure if she couldn’t wipe them all out in under a second.

If they had any sense, they would send a surrender signal next.

“So this is what smurfing feels like? Truly intoxicating…”

No wonder Ye Yao always smiled so happily.

If Xing Lan could use this power at will, she too would flash a brilliant smile every day.

But that hateful Mama Ye Yao was like a parent confiscating a dangerous toy. She had never let her play with this power.

This power was rightfully hers, yet it was restricted so tightly.

It was only today that she could truly touch the power that belonged to her.

If I could use this power freely all the time, could I make ‘Mom’ lay eggs for me too?

A dangerous thought flickered through Xing Lan’s mind, who was completely unaware that her first taste of such power was already making her a little strange.

Yet, her silence and contemplation appeared to everyone else as mercy, giving the enemy a chance to surrender.

Behind her, Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi felt completely relieved.

If Xing Lan had simply shattered the fleet’s defenses with overwhelming stats, they would have only felt that it was expected.

But the appearance of six fleets caught them completely off guard.

They had sparred with the fleets before and knew exactly how formidable they were. They could viscerally feel just how overpowering the expeditionary fleet was.

And now, six of these monstrous opponents appeared at once. Even the legendary god of i-frame rolls ² Some games give the player character i-frames, or invincibility frames, when the player character rolls. would be doomed.

They laughed in disbelief!

Fu Qiqi sighed in amazement: “Crimson Wheel, thank goodness she was subdued by Ye Yao. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how we’d fight her.”

Lou Weiwei silently nodded: “Mm. Even as the embodiment of an ability, she feels more human than I once was.”

They could sense it clearly from behind.

From the very beginning, Xing Lan had acted with restraint, showing no trace of inhumanity, as if she fully aligned herself with humanity.

Even though she was fundamentally a world-destroying ability given sentience, she was protecting humans.

When the expeditionary fleet had released its invisible force field earlier, Xing Lan had shielded Bluestar. That alone showed where her heart lay.

Without her protection, all of Bluestar’s technological infrastructure would have been destroyed.

The aftermath would have been even more devastating than when Lou Wei first activated his Solar Corona Form during the Bluestar defense battle.

Such good upbringing was reassuring, further easing the two girls’ lingering concerns.

Could it be that Ye Yao was actually a good mother?

Under this globally broadcast livestream, everyone realized that the battle was decided.

Total annihilation wasn’t the only way to claim absolute victory.

Destroying an alien civilization’s entire fleet might look brutal and thrilling.

But it was never the best outcome.

Just then, Xing Lan snapped out of her thoughts. In the next instant, she flashed directly in front of the expeditionary fleet.

The fleet’s defenses were impenetrable. Without sufficiently overwhelming force, one would be blocked by that barrier.

But Xing Lan silently activated Attribute Fission, converging massive amounts of numbers into the palm of her hand.

With a gentle wave, the barrier, which was so tough that even the direct impact of a planet couldn’t ripple it, shattered instantly!

No one could hear any sound, yet seeing that awe-inspiring scene, their minds filled in the deafening crash that must have echoed across the universe!

Myriad Things Fission showed off her mechanics!

Attribute Fission showed off her stats!

This move was clearly telling everyone that even without the other six fleets, she could still crush the expeditionary fleet head-on.

Once the “turtle shell” was broken, the expeditionary fleet’s fate was sealed!

Inside the flagship, every higher-ups of the expeditionary fleet lost all will to resist.

In the face of absolute force, all tactics were futile.

Parallel world.

Ye Yao, who had thoroughly enjoyed the show, patted the heads of the two girls beside her.

“That’s about enough. Xing Lan has shattered the radicals’ last shred of hope. Time to settle the score.”

Silver Frost snapped out of her stunned daze. She was genuinely shaken by Xing Lan’s performance.

She hadn’t expected the silly little fat bird to be so formidable.

The contrast was truly unforgettable.

From now on, Silver Frost could never view Xing Lan the same way again.

“Ye Yao, how are you going to deal with Commander White Comet?”

Ye Yao smiled faintly. “By making her my captive, of course!”

Hearing this, Silver Frost suddenly saw the light, as if she had understood everything.

“I see, so you’ve already made Commander White Comet apologize by exposing her belly?”

Black Haze shot her a subtle glance.

Ye Yao showed no embarrassment. She playfully squeezed Silver Frost’s cheeks, then took Black Haze’s hand.

“Let’s go, Black Haze. I’ll take you to ‘repay the favor’, and while I’m at it, discipline that slightly swollen-headed ‘unfilial daughter’ of mine.”

Sigh, I’m so unenthusiastic about gaming these past few days without a mouse. I’ve returned the cheap mouse, and it’s time to go back to my old wired mouse that I haven’t used in ages!
