Chapter 20 00020
20 Chapter - I Think I Can Do It!
Mo Qiuli burned out, turning into snow-white ash.
For a Magical Girl who couldn't use idealistic power, facing an enemy capable of destroying a street was too much to handle.
Although she successfully prevented the Flame Demon from harming more people, she was captured and taken hostage.
At this moment, the Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau were in a bind.
Even with the ability to decapitate the enemy, they could only stand still.
Mo Qiuli couldn't help but fall into thought.
Was there still something she could do?
The option of 'sacrifice' was too cruel for a little girl.
Moreover, she had just made close friends and found another home.
She was extremely unwilling.
And just then...
A voice suddenly rang out in Mo Qiuli's mind.
"Lend me your power."
This voice was Ye Yao!
Mo Qiuli was incredibly excited.
But the ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ next second, she fell into a state of worry.
What did Ye Yao want to do?
But since 'Tong Yao' had made a request, Mercury, as a Magical Girl Alliance member, naturally had to respond.
"Okay."
Mo Qiuli lowered her head and softly hummed.
The Flame Demon closest to her glanced at her suspiciously.
He almost wondered if he had heard wrong.
At this moment, Ye Yao's data panel, hidden behind the building's wreckage, showed a visible increase.
【Ability: Fission
Mental Power: 17 — 29
Strength: 5 — 7
Stamina: 5 — 7
Agility: 5 — 7】
For most Espers, this was only a small improvement.
But for Ye Yao, even the slightest improvement could lead to a qualitative change in her strength.
"This is still not enough; I must learn new attack methods."
At such a critical moment, she could no longer afford to be dazed.
Only by thinking could she save the defeated Magical Girl.
Ye Yao recalled what Mo Qiuli had said earlier.
Mental power was a versatile energy, not just for using abilities.
A few people could freely manipulate mental power for pure attacks.
Ye Yao wanted to achieve this, to maximize the use of her pure stats.
"If Mercury Loli can do it with the plasticity of her ability, there's no reason why I, who will be able to destroy the world in the future, can't."
She had to push herself.
Just like when she wrote a novel, updating twenty thousand words on a deadline!
As long as she gave up the idea of slacking off, everything would get better.
Ye Yao's eyes seemed to burn with the flame of putting in her full effort.
Like entering that state of facing death as if returning home, when a writer is on a deadline countdown.
Abandoning everything, emptying her mind, forcing her thoughts to be active, and squeezing out all her potential.
The next second...
The world seemed to fall silent.
Ye Yao could no longer hear other sounds, only her own heartbeat thumping.
The feeling came.
I think it will work!
A black mist, concealing her identity, rose from below.
The moment it completely covered her head, Ye Yao softly chanted those four words.
"Data Fission."
【Ability: Fission
Mental Power: 841
Strength: 49
Stamina: 49
Agility: 49】
Ye Yao's mental power stepped into B-class, even approaching A-class!
A terrifying aura quietly appeared.
The Flame Demon had just noticed this.
A beam of light ambushed him from a tricky angle.
Before he could react, his body was as if restrained by a pair of large hands, unable to move even an inch!
The mental beam shattered half of the Flame Demon's chest, and blood immediately blossomed.
"Wah—"
The Flame Demon flew backward, sliding a distance on the ground, leaving a trail of fresh red.
Everyone present was shocked by this sudden anomaly.
"Who is it!"
Only to see a figure shrouded in black mist standing on the broken high wall.
Although their face and eyes couldn't be seen, the Espers all felt a gaze sweep over them.
This was a master!
And perhaps not even affiliated with the Abnormal Disaster Countermeasure Bureau.
The out-of-danger Mo Qiuli stared blankly at the figure, somewhat disbelieving.
Knowing a little inside information, she had already guessed the identity of the newcomer.
Could this be 'Tong Yao'?
At this moment, Ye Yao was also a little dazed.
She had done it.
Controlling the Flame Demon with 'telekinesis' and then launching a surprise attack with a beam.
If she hadn't experienced Lou Wei's mental pressure, Ye Yao might not have comprehended this move so easily.
As long as one's mental power was higher than the target, one could achieve all-round suppression.
The Flame Demon had been domineering in the fire field earlier.
But after the fire field was extinguished by the Countermeasure Bureau's Espers, his aura greatly diminished.
It was clear how low his true mental power level was.
At most, he was barely B-class, able to approach A-class with the boost from the fire field.
Now Ye Yao's mental power was 841, a truly strong B-class.
Suppressing a weak B-class with mental power was simply too easy.
"Cough cough..."
The Flame Demon had not died yet.
His powerful vitality still kept him barely alive.
He glared angrily at the black figure, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"...Who are you, sir? Why do you obstruct me! Hiding your head and showing your tail like this, you can't possibly be one of them, what good does this do you!"
Not only him, but the Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau also had this thought.
People who hid their heads and showed their tails were generally unstable factors.
Especially someone so unfathomable.
They had already recognized the mysterious person's attack method.
It was the pure application of mental power.
This was an advanced technique that only A-class Espers could barely get started with.
To master it required at least extensive combat experience.
Those who could do this were all pillars of the Countermeasure Bureau.
The strongest modern Esper, Lou Wei, was a representative figure among them.
"..."
Ye Yao did not answer the Flame Demon.
She was using her super brain to think.
The clone's duration after using Data Fission was limited.
She had to use this limited time to perfectly resolve the problem.
At least she had to come up with a reason for her intervention.
She absolutely could not let herself be implicated with Mo Qiuli.
The Flame Demon was driven almost to madness by Ye Yao's cold violence.
Success was within reach, yet a stranger jumped out and ruined it.
How could such a strong contrast allow him to calm down?
"I have no grievance with you! Why do you obstruct me! As long as I become a Sequence Esper, I can officially join that organization, if you kill me, you will definitely not escape their pursuit!"
If it weren't for the mental pressure still on him, the Flame Demon would probably have disregarded his severe injuries and launched a final burst.
Ye Yao finally reacted.
A detached voice reached everyone's ears.
"Sequence Esper? What class are you? Do you even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as me?"
This sentence undoubtedly revealed a lot of information.
The Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau were on high alert.
To say such a thing, this mysterious person was very likely a registered Sequence Esper.
Every Sequence Esper was extremely dangerous.
Not to mention those who were still within controllable range.
The active Sequence Espers outside were all troublesome individuals that gave the Countermeasure Bureau headaches.
This suddenly appearing mysterious person might be one of them.
"The thought of being mentioned in the same breath as trash of your class makes me unhappy."
"Useless people like you should just die."
The clone's duration was about to end.
To prevent Mo Qiuli from being in danger again, Ye Yao launched her last attack before leaving.
"Stop!"
The Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau tried to intervene.
But the mentally captivating mental beam had already pierced the Flame Demon's head.
Killing him instantly.
The Countermeasure Bureau Espers, unable to stop it, looked regretful.
He was clearly in a state where he could have been captured.
It wouldn't have been too late to take him back, interrogate him to extract his remaining value, and then execute him.
So now, the person to confront had changed to another heavyweight:
A Sequence Esper of unknown identity.
