Esper X Family – Chapter 663 – I’m Gonna Roll Call!

Translator Note

Sorry for the late post!

( ܸ >_< .)՞՞

I’ve been living with my parents this past month and it’s awkward to start translating around them…

Anyway, I’ll be free in around 3-5 days, so I should be able to go back to regular posting soon.

All counterattack systems of the expeditionary fleet had completely ceased functioning.

Xing Lan had shattered the fleet’s highest-level protective layer using a single slap, with power rivaling a supernova explosion. Any attempt to resist further would only be repeating the same futile outcome.

The clever officers all understood that the tide had turned and that cutting their losses promptly was the best choice.

Otherwise, the Watcher Civilization they were protecting would only face destruction ahead of schedule.

Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi watched Xing Lan’s back as she prepared to enter the flagship’s interior. They exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Since the battle was decided and the expeditionary fleet appeared to be surrendering, there was no longer any need for them to remain as spectators.

Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi genuinely wanted to meet the true decision-makers of the expeditionary fleet.

It would be fine if this was just a misunderstanding. There would at least be a possibility of friendly coexistence.

But if there had been ill intentions from the start, then a thorough settling of accounts would be absolutely necessary.

Regardless of the circumstances, Ye Yao was the reverse scale of the entire Countermeasures Bureau and even human civilization itself. Anyone who dared lay a finger on her wouldn’t be let off lightly.

Of course, the final outcome might still depend on that girl’s intentions.

Who knew if a few little whims might suddenly pop up?

Sen Tong’s livestream continued.

From a one-sided interstellar war to total stillness, the rapidly shifting battlefield hadn’t even given viewers time to react.

The audience had only seen six expeditionary fleets of identical scale appear around Xing Lan. After a brief encirclement, the original expeditionary fleet that had been poised for battle simply went silent.

The reason for this defeat was easy to understand.

As the saying goes, a person’s greatest enemy is themselves.

But if six identical copies of oneself showed up ready to gang up and deliver a beating, even a saint might be angered to the point of laughter.

As one could see, even the invincible Sun Star God Apollo had been forcibly taken offline by a replicated version of himself ¹ Apparently the series is called Galaxia Bots in English. Anyway, this guy lost to his own copy in battle. . With a few more copies, he would’ve probably been diced into mincemeat.

One could say that this expeditionary fleet’s decision to cease resistance was not shameful.

Anyone would be scared to tears in their position.

What was truly baffling, however, was where Xing Lan had pulled these six fleets from.

That the kid had tremendous strength was understandable. Her identity as the “incarnation of world-destroying ability” was rock-solid. However, no one said that the kid could also command warships!

Seeing that the situation had finally stabilized, the crowd on Bluestar could finally breathe easy.

“Kids, I’ll never dare slander Lord Xing Lan as a little chubby bird again.”

“Shh! Do you have a death wish? You actually dared to say it out loud!”

“How is this world-destroying ability destroying any worlds? The Watcher Civilization people are really spouting nonsense! This is clearly human civilization’s Demon King escort!”

“But that’s exactly how the All-Seeing Demon Eye introduced it just now…”

“Speechless. Orcas are mistakenly called killer whales ² By the way, orcas don’t attack humans. too. This is definitely an error. All I see is Lord Xing Lan protecting us!”

Xing Lan’s debut battle had successfully vindicated her reputation and smoothly removed any hidden dangers that might have disrupted the family atmosphere.

The power she displayed was indeed formidable, indeed heaven-defying.

However, just as the people of Dragon Country had never feared their own nation’s nuclear weapons, only feeling immense pride.

The same logic applied here.

Xing Lan often pretended to be silly in the Magical Girl Shows to amuse the audience. No matter how one looked at it, she was undeniably one of their own.

Add in the even more people-friendly Great Emperor Tong Yao, with two great Demon King escorts guarding human civilization, how could anyone not feel at ease?

After this battle, the title of Xing Lan’s “world-destroying ability” would only be deconstructed into a harmless proper noun. As for the Watcher Civilization’s “Evolutionary Divine Machine’s” deductions…

That was nothing more than the superstitious technology of alien country bumpkins!

In the livestream footage.

Xing Lan flickered into the battleship’s interior with a flash-step.

The camera followed.

The petite, white-feathered girl eventually arrived at the command center where the fleet’s officers were gathered.

Xing Lan’s sudden visit made everyone present hold their breath.

At that moment, they finally realized with clarity that this small girl could have ended the war from the very beginning. She had merely been playing all along.

And now, she was done playing.

Xing Lan swept her gaze across the room and fixed her eyes on two individuals.

One was Gray Marsh, the other was White Comet.

Xing Lan was always glued to Ye Yao, so she naturally knew who was just random passerby and who was important.

The girl lifted her proud head, saying nothing, simply radiating pressure ceaselessly.

This oppressive atmosphere was unbearable even for battle-hardened officers.

It was as if the white-feathered girl might kill everyone present at any second.

And that wasn’t even the worst part.

What was even more terrifying to contemplate was that the failure of this expedition might bring premature catastrophe upon the Watcher Civilization itself.

For those who had set out to defend their homeland, this was absolutely unacceptable.

They were about to explode!

Fortunately, the intrusion of two petite figures broke the deadlock.

Fu Qiqi had successfully breached the spaceship’s defenses, which had abandoned all resistance, and brought Lou Weiwei with her, teleporting into the room via spatial movement.

When Fu Qiqi sensed the extraordinarily heavy atmosphere at the scene, she immediately realized something was wrong and nearly wanted to flee with Lou Weiwei on the spot.

Why did it feel like Xing Lan is deliberately pressuring these people?

This approach, which was identical to Ye Tong’s early behavior, was truly cut from the same cloth!

Fu Qiqi and Lou Weiwei’s intrusion undoubtedly shattered the rigid atmosphere.

White Comet took a deep breath, stepped forward, and issued a statement in Dragon Country Language.

“I am White Comet, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary fleet. I hereby declare the full surrender of the Watcher Civilization’s expeditionary fleet. Regarding post-war matters, I hope we can sit down and have a proper discussion.”

White Comet’s face showed no reluctance, only calmness and relief.

In fact, she had long been prepared for this outcome.

The other officers raised no objections, clearly accepting this humiliating result.

In such a total defeat, avoiding complete annihilation was already the best possible outcome. The worst-case scenario would have been getting blown up along with their entire home.

Xing Lan shot a somewhat displeased glare at Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi.

She had wanted to play the cold, silent world-destroying demon king!

After observing Ye Yao’s “glorious deeds”, Xing Lan had also wanted to try something similar.

Now, it had all been ruined by those detestable Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi.

How was she supposed to keep up the act now?

Xing Lan could only give a light snort and shift her gaze to the mastermind behind the scenes: that mysterious, ambitious schemer whose eyes still held lingering resentment.

He still hadn’t accepted his defeat, and a strong oppressive aura could be felt emanating from him.

If one were to describe him in a single word, it would probably be “war criminal”.

And Xing Lan had come precisely to thoroughly settle accounts with this person who had set his sights on her.

Aside from Ye Yao, no one else was worthy of wielding her power.

Yet, this man had even dared to covet Ye Yao herself, even harboring thoughts of control. The sheer audacity was outrageous!

Xing Lan had decided that she would slaughter this arrogant fool who didn’t know the height of heaven or the depth of earth, then go back, lock her “Mom” in the basement for protection, and finally make her experience the taste of laying eggs!

The corner of the girl’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat dangerous smile.

Bolstered by her immense mental power and extensive ability permissions, she was a little inflated and had lost sight of the immensity of heaven and earth.

After gaining life and consciousness, even the incarnation of a world-destroying ability couldn’t escape the influence of this underlying logic.

“I’m gonna do a roll call.”
