Esper X Family – Chapter 678 – What a Magnificent Lineup!

On the Countermeasures Bureau’s side.

Lou Wei, Fu Qi, and the others exchanged glances with their counterparts from the other world.

“I have a feeling that this is the final moment that will decide the fate of the world.” Standard Fu Qi spoke first.

“It all depends on whether Little Yao can change the future after advancing to S-rank,” Parallel Fu Qi added.

“Let’s trust her. All we can do is cooperate as best we can and clear every obstacle for her.”

Standard Lou Wei’s fatherly remark essentially treated Ye Yao as an independent, self-sufficient child.

Parallel Lou Wei nodded, sharing the exact same thought as his counterpart.

Although Fu Qi, Fang Ze, Cheng Muxue, Chen Wan Ting, and Xiao Jing were meeting their parallel timeline counterparts for the first time, none of them felt particularly awkward or distant.

After all, there was only a three-year gap between the two groups. Apart from matters involving Ye Yao, most of their experiences were nearly identical, and they might as well have been blood siblings.

And on top of that, there was the close bond formed through Ye Yao.

They usually didn’t interfere with each other’s worlds, but this rare meeting gave them plenty of common ground.

For instance, both Fang Zes wanted to compare workloads to see which side had it easier.

However, after comparing notes, they discovered that their counterparts were equally overworked, and they had to lament their shared fate as perpetual workhorses.

More importantly, there was the matter of successors.

If one side found a promising prospect, they could inform the other to start nurturing them early.

For example, Parallel Fang Ze’s timeline was three years ahead, giving him a head start in identifying promising talents.

Standard Fang Ze could copy the homework with precision, expanding his team by directly recruiting those people early to “pull the millstone ¹ Livestock are often used to pull millstone in old times. To grind grain. “.

The two workhorses felt like they had met their soulmates.

Over on the side of Ye Yao’s mothers, aunts, and uncles, the atmosphere was even warmer.

Their conversation revolved entirely around “Ye Yao”, a classic gathering of “Ye Yao-obsessed” elders.

Meanwhile, Standard Fu Qi glanced at the two long-haired, pointy-eared girls roaming aimlessly in the distance.

Sen Tong, also known as the All-Knowing Demon Eye, the very culprit behind their public humiliation!

Without a doubt, the upcoming battle would probably be livestreamed globally as well.

So, one question arose.

Standard Fu Qi couldn’t help but voice a concern.

“Next, will we fight in our original forms or in our ’Magical Girl’ forms?”

At that, the men present fell into complete silence.

This question was a bit fatal.

Parallel Fu Qi sighed softly: “Our dignity has already been shattered long ago. Does it even matter which form we use?”

The answer was, either worked.

After all, this kind of thing had only two states: never or infinitely repeated. Not to mention Fang Ze, who had less screen time, but “Lou Weiwei” and “Fu Qiqi” had already become super-popular characters in both timelines.

No matter which timeline, Lou Wei and Fu Qi couldn’t shake off the image. They were utterly helpless.

Only Fang Ze was different.

He still had a chance to keep himself off the “pillar of shame”. Having fewer appearances wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, was it?

He could only hope that Ye Yao would have some sympathy for her poor, toiling uncle, and that preserving a shred of his reputation would already count as a victory.

Just as the two groups were having their pre-battle exchanges, Ye Yao was observing everyone’s condition from the shadows.

“Everyone seems to be in good spirits. This time, I’ll let them do their own thing.”

The petite silver-haired girl sat in the main seat of the flagship command center, gazing out at the starry sky through the window. She felt relatively relaxed, not too nervous.

Ye Tong and Ye Ge stood by her side like “left and right guardians.”

Behind them were White Comet, Silver Frost, and Black Haze.

White Comet spoke up: “The fleet is already in war mode, ready to engage at any time.”

“No rush. Let them catch up. There’s no need to take this final battle too seriously.”

Ye Yao fiddled idly with the system panel in front of her, feeling that the time was about right.

Then, she called over the two Sen Tongs, preparing to begin the long-distance livestream.

With Ye Yao’s support, even across vast distances, the feed could be transmitted with zero latency.

The next moment.

Familiar light screens appeared above Bluestar, the precursor to a global livestream!

Media drones, already prepped, relayed the footage via screen recording, making the broadcast even more accessible.

“Here it comes! My absolute favorite kind of grand spectacle!”

“Yesss! I’m so hyped I wanna raise a flag!”

“Word has it that our Great Emperor Tong Yao is about to prove the Dao. To be able to witness this historic moment, I’m truly blessed!”

“Argh! I wish I could be there on-site!”

As the image cleared, the first thing everyone saw was the familiar expedition fleet.

Then, Sen Tong pulled the camera back, revealing an unfamiliar star system, clearly signaling that this would be the battleground.

Apart from those in critical posts, nearly everyone set down their work and focused intently on the screen.

Seeing that everything was ready, Ye Yao quickly notified her family members, who had finished adjusting their states.

“Let’s go, family!”

Ye Yao’s voice reached each of them clearly and firmly.

The crowd in the lounge quickly fell silent, exchanged glances, and finally nodded gravely.

“Let’s move. As she said, this is a war fought to protect her.”

The deck quickly filled with figures from both timelines.

They gazed out through the transparent protective material.

The deep space beyond now seemed both vast and fraught with danger, like a silent stage waiting for the curtains to rise.

The coldness of the cosmos was shut out by high-tech materials, but inside, fierce battle intent and warm camaraderie intertwined.

They adjusted their breathing, exchanging knowing glances with their counterparts.

Sen Tong silently hovered above the deck, her elf ears twitching slightly. Her floor-length hair flowing like a river of silver stars.

The eye pattern on her forehead glowed faintly, as if a third eye had opened, seeing through everything. She steadily aimed her “lens” at the crowd below.

Through Ye Yao’s cross-temporal link, the feed was transmitted back to Bluestar without delay.

Instantly, the light screens across the globe displayed this awe-inspiring scene:

Parallel individuals from two worlds stood side by side. Their outfits might have slight differences, but their expressions were equally resolute.

On the Sequence Zero side.

Standard Jiang Huashen stood shoulder to shoulder with Parallel Jiang Huashen, both wearing similarly proud smirks, as if ready to unleash artistic destruction in their “Creation Form” at any moment.

Standard Mu Luo and the mysterious writhing entity that was Parallel Mu Luo lurked at the boundary of light and shadow, their forms as blurred as the abyss itself, coiled and ready to strike!

Gu Wenxin and his counterpart silently caressed their swords, the blades gleaming with cold light.

The Yu Jin group had already started stretching in the corner, their warm-up movements sending faint ripples through the air.

The teenage girls and lolis were no less impressive.

The two Wu Mis were whispering amongst themselves, discussing the application of the Ouroboros Cycle.

The An Qis calmly observed the invisible threads of fate.

Although the two Mo Qiulis felt slightly uneasy being far from Mercury, they were gently encouraged by the Luo Jianhuas.

Standard Xia Lian and Parallel Xia Lian were still glaring at each other, but they too stood within the formation, unwilling to fall behind.

Although the Bluestar audiences had witnessed many grand spectacles before, the assembly of popular characters from both timelines alongside their counterparts still left them stunned and exhilarated!

“Yesss! What a magnificent lineup!!!”
