Esper X Family – Chapter 675 – Sending Out Teamfight Invitations

Over the past few days, Ye Yao had been sending out “teamfight” invitations to the rest of her family, one by one.

Sequence Zero was ready to deploy at any moment, with full freedom of action and no need to go through any procedures.

The Magical Girl Alliance was essentially under Ye Yao’s control.

As one of its original founders, Ye Yao could change the alliance’s direction of activities at will, and Mo Qiuli would fully support her decisions without question.

Clearly, this teamfight could also become another Magical Girl side story!

Upon learning of this, Mo Qiuli had already roused herself to full alertness, determined to give an excellent performance!

Only the Countermeasures Bureau required a bit of time to explain the situation, but even that was handled quite efficiently.

After all, this wasn’t a full mobilization, and only a few people named by Ye Yao needed to join the fight.

Everyone else just needed to be aware of the matter and handle the necessary order-maintenance duties on their end.

As soon as Ye Yao gave the order, Lou Wei and the others could deploy immediately.

However, Ye Yao hadn’t set a specific time yet, so everyone could only wait patiently.

For now, Ye Yao was in space, discussing something with White Comet.

“White Comet, have you heard of Vengeful Spirits?”

White Comet fell into thought.

Through the Countermeasures Bureau’s records, she naturally knew what had happened on Bluestar.

The Vengeful Spirit was connected to the original Sanctuary, which represented humanity’s dark side.

It was said that the Sanctuary’s leader had decided to build an impenetrable “safe haven” in order to escape a future catastrophe.

But the methods used were too extreme and inhumane, which was why Ye Yao had elbowed him flying.

After that, a Vengeful Spirit emerged.

Its appearance also marked the beginning of the “Tong Yao” era, which opened up a new age.

White Comet had watched the footage and read the after-action reports from Lou Wei and Fu Qi. She could only say that such a creature’s traits were extremely rare even in the universe.

If an individual was powerful enough, even the Watcher Civilization might find it troublesome to deal with.

It was said to be the bane of mental power, capable of resisting its effects to the greatest extent.

And coincidentally, the Watcher Civilization’s entire technological tree was largely built upon mental power.

Unless one used overwhelming brute force, it was very difficult to inflict harm.

Then, Ye Yao continued, “During your conquests, White Comet, have you ever encountered anything like this?”

White Comet shook her head. “No. Although there are some special species in the universe that can resist a portion of the effects of mental power, none of them come close to the Vengeful Spirit’s level. In the Watcher Civilization’s database, the highest recorded resistance is only fifty percent.”

The Watcher Civilization’s archives contained records of many races.

Their emphasis on documenting and valuing biodiversity was quite similar to that of humanity.

Yet there was no mention of the Vengeful Spirit.

If it weren’t for the expedition fleet arriving in the Solar System, they might have never learned of the existence of such a near-universal natural enemy.

If this file were transmitted back to the Watcher Civilization, it would definitely attract considerable attention.

“I see. The Vengeful Spirit should only be targeting me, so it probably won’t appear in random places”, Ye Yao said thoughtfully, nodding.

And yet, after all this time, only a few Vengeful Spirits had actually come.

In total, there had been just two.

One was the roadside stray inside the Sanctuary Leader’s body, and the other was the roadside stray that had merged with parallel Lou Wei.

If Xing Lan had really spawned that many Vengeful Spirits, the number that had come seeking revenge was far too small.

Or perhaps the frequency was just too low.

So much time had passed, and still only two had shown up.

Could it be that the other Vengeful Spirits were hopelessly lost?

But according to White Comet, no traces of Vengeful Spirits had appeared anywhere else in the universe.

They had only appeared on Bluestar.

This proved that the Vengeful Spirit’s nose was extremely sharp, able to almost precisely locate the “world-destroying ability”.

However, the journey might have had its obstacles, and only a select few had managed to break through spacetime.

And that was even with the influence of【Cause and Effect】.

If【Cause and Effect】were maxed out, it would probably be like a massive cosmic beacon, essentially broadcasting the coordinates to everyone indiscriminately.

And as products of destruction, the Vengeful Spirits’ causal connection to the world-destroying ability was immensely strong, so they would be affected even more severely.

Under the pull of causal fate, it made perfect sense that the Vengeful Spirit legion could find a precise path.

But it didn’t matter.

Ye Yao now had the ability to handle anything. No matter how many Vengeful Spirits came, they would only be throwing their lives away.

No matter how much damage they could reduce, even percentage-based mitigation was meaningless.

Ye Yao didn’t even need to activate Family Hero mode to slap them aside by the dozen.

She had simply grown too fast.

There had only been a brief window of vulnerability.

Actually, no. With the System around, there hadn’t even been a window at all.

When in doubt, just “sacrifice” one family member to forcefully ascend to godhood, and after ascending, you could even bring them back. It was a completely lossless ascension.

But that was a feature of the System.

If it were a world-destroying ability user without the System, they really might have been spawncamped by the Vengeful Spirits.

“As expected, I’m the most skilled.”

Ye Yao glanced at White Comet.

“White Comet, in a little while, you’ll be joining us to elbow the Vengeful Spirits. Are you ready?”

Come to think of it, White Comet, Silver Frost, and Black Haze had only recently become family members.

Ye Yao hadn’t categorized them at first.

Later on, she found time to sort them out.

She simply opened a new page, the “Interstellar Tour Group”, and earned 20 attribute points.

From now on, the three of them would be regulars on the spaceship, spending most of their time on the familiar vessel.

According to Ye Yao’s future plans, she would definitely embark on a grand interstellar journey, and these three would be her permanent companions.

That didn’t sound bad at all.

As newly joined family members, Silver Frost, Black Haze, and White Comet would also make a dazzling debut in the upcoming battle.

No one could be absent from this team battle.

White Comet’s expression showed a hint of hesitation.

“My combat power probably won’t be very useful on the front lines.”

“I’ll allow you to use the warship’s firepower.”

“I’m ready.”

White Comet’s expression immediately turned resolute, carrying the confident air of someone playing their favorite character.

For White Comet, piloting a warship was indeed the best way to showcase her abilities.

“Good! That’s the spirit! I look forward to you earning great merits on the battlefield! From now on, you’re my number one general!”

“I will not disappoint your expectations.”

Ye Yao wanted to pat White Comet on the shoulder to encourage her.

But she quickly realized that she wasn’t tall enough. Jumping up or floating would seem too deliberate, so she settled for patting White Comet’s abdomen instead.

Yet, this gesture made White Comet think of something else.

Silver Frost had told her that Ye Yao really liked it when others apologized by exposing their bellies, and she also loved rubbing girls’ tummies.

Silver Frost believed that was how she had been forgiven by Ye Yao.

White Comet couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.

Is Ye Yao’s gesture hinting at something?

“Do you want me to lie down and expose my belly for you to rub?”

White Comet went straight for an efficiency-first statement.

“Huh?”

Ye Yao’s mind briefly short-circuited, but she quickly recovered.

“Hiss— Actually, that’s not a bad idea.”
