Super God Academy: Kabuto

Inside the Mangdang Mountain, as Lena placed her palms on the core energy interface of the Mangdang Mountain, the surging "Sunlight" gene ability within her body was fully activated, transforming into an incomparably pure and thick energy beam that roared out from the warship's specific launch port and shot straight into the sky!

This beam of light did not illuminate the world; instead, it acted like a cosmic "straw," creating an unimaginable siphon effect. To everyone on Earth, the sky suddenly darkened the instant the beam rose, as if the midday sun had been swallowed whole by an invisible behemoth, plunging the entire globe into an ominous darkness.

Inside the Mangdangshan, Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and others stared in shock through the huge observation window at the sky outside, which was rapidly "extinguishing."

"Holy crap! What's going on? Is it a solar eclipse or something?" Liu Chuang's eyes widened.

A uniformed technician quickly approached them, saluted, and explained, "Excuse me, comrades of the Super Soldier Company. Please don't panic. This is the first recharge activation procedure being performed by the Mangdang Mountain. In order to obtain enough initial energy to break through Earth's gravity and enter space orbit, the warship will temporarily absorb and convert some of the solar energy arriving on Earth over the next hour. This process has been precisely calculated and will not have any lasting impact on Earth's ecological environment. Please rest assured."

At the same time, the main fleet of Taotie, which was anchored near Earth's orbit, also observed this illogical celestial phenomenon.

Inside the command center, a Taotie scout was frantically reporting to the new fleet commander: "Reporting, Commander! Earth... Earth's solar energy is rapidly declining! We cannot explain this phenomenon with our current technology!"

The newly appointed commander of the Taotie Clan stared intently at the graph on the screen, representing the frantic draining of energy. His eyes, hidden beneath his metal visor, were filled with grave worry. Beside him, the leader of the Giant Wolf Star spoke with a barely perceptible tremor, voicing their shared fear:

"Unless... it's some kind of supernatural power like that of Lieyang Technology... I have a bad feeling that we... might be in deep trouble."

Earth and near-Earth orbit

After absorbing the immense energy of global solar power, the giant ship Mangdangshan, carrying the hopes of China and even the entire planet, finally broke free from the gravitational pull of the planet. Its massive, mountain-like hull smoothly sailed into the dark universe and successfully entered its predetermined orbit.

"Commander Lingfeng, I have arrived at the designated airspace for reconnaissance. Everything is safe here, and no Taotie patrol squads have been detected yet." Ge Xiaolun's voice came back to the bridge through encrypted communication. As a vanguard with flight capabilities, he was the first to enter space, clearing a safe airspace for the mothership.

"Received. Please return to the Mangdang Mountain immediately."

Ge Xiaolun turned around, his black wings tracing a smooth path in the vacuum as he flew back into the giant ship that was slowly adjusting its posture.

"The Mangdangshan has arrived at its designated location!"

"Defense system fully activated!"

"Shut down the main propulsion engines and maintain orbital stability!"

"The solar energy extraction panels have fully deployed and are now providing continuous power!"

"Attention all departments, conduct a final check and eliminate all potential threats!"

A series of clear and calm reports echoed in the bridge, and the massive war machine was methodically entering its optimal combat readiness.

At this moment, Commander Ling Feng slowly stood up from the central command seat. She turned around and glanced at all the members of the Super Soldier Company gathered in the command room—these young warriors who had been tempered by blood and fire countless times.

Her gaze was firm and calm, and her voice carried clearly throughout the command center via the loudspeaker system:

"Fellow soldiers, we have endured a long and brutal 18 months. We have lost our homes and our comrades, but we have never lost our will to fight."

She paused slightly, letting the weight of her words settle.

"However, I must tell you that the road ahead may still be 18 years, or even 80 years. Unfortunately, our Earth, our civilization, has been forced into a vast and brutal cosmic war."

"On this arduous path, we may sometimes feel lost and question our own strength. But please remember what General Dukao always told us—" Lingfeng's voice grew even stronger at this moment, as if carrying the late general's conviction, "Whether it's a life of ten thousand years or a life of one hundred years, its value and dignity are equally precious!"

"We fight for survival, for the future of this blue planet beneath our feet, and for everything we cherish! Today, the successful launch of the Mangdangshan marks that we finally have the right to confront our enemies head-on in the vast universe!"

"Super Soldier Company!"

"Here!" The responses from everyone converged into a resolute torrent.

"For the Earth, onward!"
