Esper X Family – Chapter 682 – Colour Out of Space, Two Weaklings Become Dragons!

“Two giant super-powerful beings have appeared in space ¹ Apparently it’s an Ultraman reference. Seems like it’s a line from Ultraman Tiga, but I’m not that much of a fan so I didn’t dig too deep. … I’m not kidding!”

What does it mean to break through the void with pure strength?

Ye Yao finally witnessed a scene that she had only ever read about in novels.

There really are people who can shatter space with nothing but their physical bodies!

With a single punch, not only did the Vengeful Spirit turn to ashes, but it also unleashed a long-range special effect resembling countless fragmentations.

If it weren’t for the passive abilities of the two Fu Qis constantly repairing the spatial tears, Yu Jin probably wouldn’t have been able to land more than a few punches before being forced out of the team fight.

“Thank goodness I didn’t go all out in fissioning his stats… strength is far less controllable than mental power.”

Seeing the two Yu Jins become the main force pummeling the Vengeful Spirit, Ye Yao shifted her attention with relief.

And then she saw something akin to the “Colour Out of Space ² Reference to a H.P. Lovecraft book with the same title. ”.

“Wait, Old Jiang! What are you two doing?!”

The two artists were beginning to make their move!

【Creation Form】, activated!

Standard Jiang and Parallel Jiang entered their creative mode, combining their inspiration to forge a brand-new masterpiece!

The previously pitch-black star system around them suddenly seemed to be filled with the colors of countless stars.

The river of stars drew closer at a visible pace, like an endless “Star Belt”!

This time, the two Jiang Huashens didn’t dwell on known concepts.

Nor did they try to cheat again by painting an “Apotheosis” Ye Yao.

Instead, they drew vast inspiration from recent events, while possessing a profound understanding of the boundless, unknown universe.

What Jiang Huashen infused into the artwork was an immense amount of information, a deadly art form that ordinary beings could never withstand. Any Vengeful Spirit touched by that “Colour Out of Space” would transform into a new “color” and be absorbed into it.

It was growing at an alarming rate!

Without a doubt, with both Jiang Huashens unleashing their high mental power to the fullest, pushing【Creation Form】to its absolute limit, they had birthed a terrifying cosmic catastrophe!

They trusted that Ye Yao could handle any potential fallout, and they simply couldn’t bear to miss this once-in-a-lifetime burst of creative passion!

Ye Yao pressed her palm to her forehead.

“I did say you could go all out, but do you have to go this far? If you weren’t such a massive attribute point contributor, I’d definitely hold you accountable after this!”

The silver-haired girl could only spare a sliver of attention to prevent the “Colour Out of Space” from accidentally devouring her teammates.

Devouring Vengeful Spirits was fine, but her family was absolutely out of the question!

Fortunately, “Ruler Form” had already become a mass-produced form skill, and with Ye Yao’s super “Shared Hardship” skill, the team was largely safe from spiritual contamination.

The Vengeful Spirit did seem to have similar contamination methods.

But against her massively buffed family, they were completely ineffective!

The price, however, was that Ye Yao’s attribute points were decreasing at a frightening rate.

“Huff~ Even though I haven’t joined the fight yet, I’m still working hard.”

Ye Yao appeared to be slacking off, but in reality, she was the busiest of them all!

The safety of her entire family rested on her shoulders, and there was no room for carelessness.

Just then, a splash of vivid color other than the “Colour Out of Space” appeared on the battlefield.

It was a glowing blood-red!

More precisely, even the scattered mental power was tinged with the hue of blood.

Ye Yao quickly shifted her gaze.

She saw that the two Xia Lians who usually loved to hiss at each other were now floating side by side in what seemed like a truce.

“After all, this is a very important day for White Catty. It wouldn’t be right to keep slacking off.”

“Sigh, I didn’t really want to get serious, but since we have this rare opportunity, it’s the perfect chance to salvage our image in White Catty’s eyes.”

“Hmph, exactly. Otherwise, I’d never cooperate with a rival.”

Standard Xia Lian and Parallel Xia Lian completed their exchange in perfect sync.

Once similar abilities fused, they could achieve a one-plus-one-greater-than-two effect.

Now, with Ye Yao compensating for their lagging stats and bringing both Xia Lians back up to speed with the main force, the only thing left to exploit was their comprehension.

And Xia Lian had once been a top-ten of the Sequence ranking, a super genius before she started slacking off.

Although they had fully become weaklings under Ye Yao’s lenient care, that didn’t mean they were hopeless failures!

Now, the two Xia Lians were about to reclaim their former glory!

“Come on, just this once.”

“I know what you mean.”

In the next moment, the two turned into clouds of blood mist and began to subvert the very concept of their ability.

At first glance, Xia Lian’s ability appeared to be control over “blood” as a substance, but that wasn’t the whole truth.

Blood is a vital component of animals; without it, they cannot survive.

Yet, not everything depends on blood for its existence.

It could be “mental power” or something else entirely.

The Vengeful Spirits were peculiar. They were neither composed purely of mental power nor were they living beings.

But as long as something sustained their existence, Xia Lian could replace “blood” with that very substance, assimilating it as their source of being.

After a brief period of analysis, Xia Lian had successfully deciphered it.

Now, all that remained was to “transfuse” the blood infused with a “virus” to completely dismantle them from the inside.

““Bad Blood Form!””

The two Xia Lians’ blood mist acted like a hyper-infectious super-virus. Within a short time, even the Vengeful Spirits who had no inherent weaknesses began to exhibit symptoms akin to those of humans.

Weakness, sluggishness, confusion…

Reаd оո KаtRеαⅾіnɡCаfе

The Vengeful Spirits, already severely weakened by the two Fang Zes, grew even frailer!

Their high mental-power immunity was also slashed due to the weakened state brought on by the “bad blood”.

And this was only the condition of the strongest among them. The weaker ones had already exploded long ago.

The Vengeful Spirit army, which had never held an advantage, now seemed to be facing a devastating snowball effect!

With the two Xia Lians’ efforts, the Vengeful Spirits visibly dwindled by the moment.

Ye Yao was utterly astounded. This was completely unexpected.

“Whoa! Two weaklings become dragons!”

She had thought that the two Xia Lians would just go through the motions and slack off as usual, but never did she imagine that they would actually get serious!

And they delivered astonishing results, not just a flashy explosion with no substance.

“Is this really the Weakling Xia Lian I know?”

Ye Yao drew in a sharp breath, genuinely changing her view of the two Xia Lians.

Of course, that depended on them not shamelessly begging for praise afterward.

“Everyone is shining.”

Even Xiao Jing, Cheng Muxue, and Chen Wan Ting, who weren’t combat specialists, were doing their utmost.

The two Mama Xiao Jings no longer had to worry about【Devotion】shortening their lifespans; instead, they elevated Lou Wei’s stats to a whole new level.

Although their buffing capability wasn’t as authoritative as Ye Yao’s, they still played a part in helping Lou Wei successfully activate Musou.

Before Ye Yao appeared, Xiao Jing had been an irreplaceable super-support, even capable of teaming up with Lou Wei to fight in the battle to save the world.

But no matter how strong a support was, how could it compare to Ye Yao’s brute-force【Assist】?

“Mama Xiao Jing, it’s not this era that did you wrong. It’s me~”

But that’s okay. Mothers are meant to be cherished, not used as tools. It’s perfectly fine for them to enjoy a peaceful life in the rear.

Meanwhile, Cheng Muxue used the Heart Network to connect everyone, preventing any friendly fire.

The battlefield might have looked chaotic, but there was order beneath the disorder.

As for Aunt Chen Wan Ting… well, she was trying her best too!

No need to pressure non-combat personnel.

Only White Comet’s side had yet to take action. Silver Frost and Black Haze stayed close to her, clearly not intending to join the front lines themselves.

They had already headed to the combat command center, perhaps making related preparations.

Ye Yao sensed it briefly.

Then, through the Heart Network, she alerted everyone to clear the area around the battlefield’s center.

“Too slow, fire the cannon!”

Boom!

A beam of destruction crossed over half the battlefield, shattering and vaporizing stars, which quickly reformed under the power of Cycle.

But only the Vengeful Spirits were not favored by the two Wu Mis.

Full map clear!

With layers of weakening effects in place, even a single main cannon shot from the expedition fleet could deal devastating, fatal damage to the Vengeful Spirit army!

And this earth-shattering main-gun blast pushed the war to its final stage.

Author Note

Alright, that’s enough about the family’s scenes. It’s time for the weakest Esper in history, Little Sister Yao, to show off!
