Esper X Family – Chapter 679 – Activating【Cause and Effect MAX】, the BOSS Appears!

The formation on the Countermeasures Bureau side was clearly more impressive.

As wildly popular characters, Lou Wei and Fu Qi had always been the center of attention.

Now that the concept of parallel worlds had been definitively proven, it meant that the side stories Ye Yao had served up back then were very likely actual documentaries!

In other words, there would be double the Lou Weiwei and double the Fu Qiqi!

Double the joy, how could that not send fans into a frenzy?

Although they hadn’t transformed on screen yet, some viewers had already begun frantically filling in the blanks with their imaginations. It was clear that the Mo Qiuli virus had spread.

Sen Tong’s camera slowly panned across every face, accompanied by a remarkably well-placed introduction.

【Legendary figures from both the current world and the parallel world have gathered here to protect the one most precious to them. This will be the battle that decides the fate of the world.】

“Holy crap! Double the fun!”

“I’m so hyped!”

“Let me join the fight too! I’d even call Ye Yao ‘Mom’ if I had to!”

“A battle that decides fate? Going that big? Will they win?”

“Don’t you have any faith in Great Emperor Tong Yao? I say we get ready to photoshop Vengeful Spirit’s face onto Kobe ¹ As explained a few times before, Kobe Bryant has been made into countless Chinese memes… I have no idea why or how he’s so popular there. !”

“If they can last through half the BGM of ‘Rainie Love

²

’, I’ll call them impressive, alright?”

“I’m ready!”

Far beyond the solar system.

Seeing that everything was in place, Ye Yao stopped stalling and immediately opened her system panel, navigating to the ability page.

“Hmph, bring it on! What world-ending karma, what vengeful spirits…. I, Ye Yao, will shoulder it all! Behind me are my beloved family. Come at me!”

【Would you like to consume 200 attribute points to activate ‘Cause and Effect MAX’?】

“Yes.”

【200 attribute points consumed. Successfully activated ‘Cause and Effect MAX’.】

The next moment.

As the new power surged through her, Ye Yao felt a jolt of energy. It was as if something strange and unfamiliar had suddenly appeared in her mind.

She perceived countless threads, spanning across time and space, extending from within her body and disappearing into another unknown dimension. It carried a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of An Qi’s threads of fate.

Those threads numbered in the thousands, tens of thousands.

So many they were nearly impossible to count.

Just looking at them brought an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Ye Yao quickly grasped the meaning of these threads.

At the other end of these threads were undoubtedly the Vengeful Spirits hunting for retribution!

This represented the entirety of her karmic connection with the Vengeful Spirits!

Having formed a symbiotic bond with Xing Lan, there was no escaping this calamity.

But did she even need to run?

In the early stages, before she had grown strong enough, Ye Yao had to play dumb and act cute to avoid being crushed into cat pancake by any random powerhouse that might pop up.

But now that she was fully developed, what should they be calling her instead?

Sensing the immense hatred and hostility emanating from those threads, Ye Yao showed not a trace of fear!

“Your war of vengeance, I shall accept it!”

The next moment.

Alarms blared throughout the expedition fleet.

“Reporting to the Commander! We’ve detected large-scale spatial collapse in our vicinity! Something is emerging!”

The space of the unfamiliar star system seemed to be forcibly torn apart by invisible hands!

Radar alarms from the expedition fleet screamed in succession.

On the screens, the red dots representing enemy units were multiplying at an alarming rate!

One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand…

The numbers continued to climb. Every second, new spatial fissures erupted beyond the fleet’s defensive perimeter, like festering wounds on the skin of the universe.

“There are quite a lot of them.”

Ye Yao quickly expanded her perception to gauge the overall strength of the Vengeful Spirits.

If there were any absurdly overpowered anomalies, she would have to step in personally.

For now, it seemed that there weren’t any overwhelmingly powerful bosses.

But their numbers were staggering, a testament to just how many civilizations and universes【Fission】had annihilated.

Ye Yao grabbed the little fat bird perched on her head and jabbed her finger into its fluffy little belly.

“Damn you, you bastard cup Xing Lan! Look at the mess you’ve left me. Just how many civilizations did you destroy, anyway?”

“Coo? Do you remember how many breads you’ve eaten in your life ³ From JOJO part 1. ?”

Rеad оո KatRеαⅾіոɡСafе

Xing Lan’s tone was somewhat innocent.

She had only just awakened to consciousness for the first time. Making a newly born being bear the blame for what her unconscious former self had done seemed rather unfair.

Strictly speaking, her essence was no different from natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, or tsunamis.

If it hadn’t been for Ye Yao’s antics, she might still be nothing at all.

“Ah, whatever. Who else is going to take responsibility if not me, your mother? Cleaning up after my kid is my duty too.”

Ye Yao released Xing Lan, letting her flap her wings and resettle atop her head.

Although she appeared utterly nonchalant, as if unaffected by the scene before her.

No one but Xing Lan knew what she was truly feeling right now.

Having traversed time and space, the Vengeful Spirits had already locked onto their ultimate target.

Through the pull of karmic forces, they could precisely pinpoint Ye Yao, whose presence blazed like a sun… or rather, they could pinpoint Xing Lan, who was inextricably linked to Ye Yao.

Unfathomable hatred, the final lament of civilizations on the brink of extinction, and the obsessions crystallized from the despair of billions of souls.

These lingering vestiges of consciousness had drifted through the river of time, searching only for the one who had destroyed them.

And now, they had found her.

“”VENGEANCE!!!””

A torrent of wills surged along the threads of karma.

What Ye Yao felt was the fixation of countless Vengeful Spirits, a murderous intent so fierce it was even more suffocating than the pressure she had felt back when she was constantly being run over by the Dayun Truck!

“Argh! Why are you screaming so loud?! Just you wait! I’m sending a whole van full of bread people ⁴ From a League of Legends tournament where a typo on a trashtalk went from “send a truckload (面包车) of people (人)” to “send a car (车) of bread people (面包人)”. 面包车 mianbaoche is a type of van used to transport people. Anyway, the typo was memed to hell. (text in Traditional Chinese so it’s a bit different) to put you all out of your misery!”

The silver-haired girl gritted her teeth in frustration, covering her ears and hissing in annoyance.

If there had been any hope of saving these things, Ye Yao might have lent a hand.

But these were nothing more than mindless remnants, useless entities that did nothing but relentlessly hunt down the world-destroying ability, accelerating the universe’s destruction.

Rеаԁ οո КаtRеαdiոɡСаfе

At any rate, she had already turned the world-destroying ability into a cup.

Consider that as her having already fulfilled the vengeance of those destroyed civilizations!

“So you things, return to dust and earth where you belong, and stop yapping in my head!”

Ye Yao let out the most satisfying hiss in the entire observable universe, projecting her unwavering resolve to the Vengeful Spirits hunting her down.

And in response to their “enemy’s” active provocation, the negative emotions within the Vengeful Spirits grew even more turbulent!

In just a few short seconds.

The once-empty depths of space had become a scene from a nightmare.

Space was riddled with cracks like a shattered mirror, and time seemed to warp bizarrely around the fissures.

From these zones of temporal-spatial anomaly, those “things” continued to pour forth without end.

The defenders standing ready on the starship’s deck could see it all clearly.

They were no strangers to Vengeful Spirits.

Especially those from the current world. They remembered the Vengeful Spirit that had ravaged the capital’s skies, leaving a deep impression, vaguely recalling it as a giant figure.

But the Vengeful Spirits emerging now were all irregular monstrosities, entities that could scarcely be defined as “creatures”.

With such a massive swarm of Vengeful Spirits appearing, they were even more diverse in concept than the “Anomalies”!

“So these things aren’t like those clone yakuzas ⁵ Seemingly infinite identical henchmen from Ninja Slayer. , huh?”
