Super God Academy: Kabuto

Hua Ye's hand hovered above Zhi Xin's pale cheek, the destructive energy swirling around his fingertips making the air groan. He savored his prey's final trembling, a wicked grin spreading across his lips.

"Short skirt, don't be afraid, it'll be over soon..."

Before the words were finished—

【Clock Up!】

A cold, electronic sound effect, like a sharp blade, severed the frozen time.

In an instant, time seemed to stretch out and slow down infinitely in the perception of Hua Ye and everyone present! A red figure cut into the battlefield at a speed beyond visual perception and appeared beside Hua Ye.

"Let me play with you." Lin Yu's calm voice rang out.

Before Hua Ye could react at all, a heavy knight's kick containing terrifying kinetic energy struck his cheek with perfect accuracy!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Hua Ye was kicked away as if hit by the main cannon of a starship. He crashed into the alloy wall of the conference room like a broken sack, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Cough..." Hua Ye struggled to his feet from the cratered ruins of the wall, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. For the first time, his face showed a mixture of shock and rage. "You...you dare to injure my body?!"

Lin Yu's figure solidified not far away, as if he had never moved. He commented calmly, "Your speed is too slow."

"Speed?" Hua Ye laughed angrily, void energy surging around him. "You think you can challenge a true god with such petty tricks? Let me show you the true power of the void!"

He spread his arms, and the surrounding space began to twist and solidify violently. The spacetime prison based on the Void Engine instantly unfolded. He wanted to lock this space completely, making any ability that relied on speed meaningless!

Sensing the immense pressure and sealing force emanating from the surrounding space, Lin Yu understood that Kabuto Zecter's conventional time-shifting was no longer sufficient to completely break free. His internal power was still growing, but dealing with this level of confinement required further liberation.

It seems we need to be a little more serious.

Before he finished speaking, the Hyper Zecter on his chest flew over automatically and embedded itself in his belt. Its magnificent wings of light suddenly unfolded, radiating a dazzling light that transcended time and common sense!

[Hyper Cast Off! (Beyond Armor Burst!)]

Kamen Rider Kabuto evolves once again—Hyper Form! A more streamlined, futuristic armor covers his entire body.

Hyper Clock Up!

In Hua Ye's perception, Lin Yu's presence vanished once again. But this time, it was completely different! The spacetime cage he had meticulously laid out, powerful enough to imprison a god-level being, was now emitting violent fluctuations as if it had been forcibly torn apart and wantonly pierced! The other party was no longer moving within space, but rather strolling along the timeline itself!

"This is impossible!!" Hua Ye's arrogance was finally shattered by a trace of shock. His Void Engine was running at overload, calculating frantically, trying to redefine the rules and capture the ghost that was freely traveling through the timeline.

However, the attack from Hyper Kabuto has leaped from three-dimensional space to the time dimension, attacking from all directions, and even from the spacetime of "past" and "future" at the same time!

Hua Ye had just condensed an energy ball in his hand that was powerful enough to annihilate stars, but the energy ball inexplicably exploded several seconds prematurely in his hand!

He wanted to activate a micro wormhole to relocate, but the wormhole was precisely interfered with by an aftershock of an attack energy "seconds later" just before it was formed, causing it to completely collapse!

Lin Yu's punches and kicks were like an omnipresent rain of time, each strike landing precisely on his weakest point, leaving him no chance to avoid it!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom—!"

In Hua Ye's own perception of time, it seemed as if he had been continuously beaten for an extended period of time. His proud divine body was being battered and pounded like a punching bag in the conference room, utterly powerless to retaliate. The so-called majesty and elegance of the "Heavenly Palace King" were completely shattered, leaving only extreme humiliation and impotent rage.

Just as Lin Yu was gathering energy, preparing to unleash his final blow, a projection exuding an aura of illusion and tranquility silently entered the battlefield. The newcomer was none other than Death God Karl.

He bowed slightly, his posture as elegant and serene as ever, his voice seeming to emanate from a distant void:

"Lord Lin Yu, please calm down. King Hua Ye may have only gone too far in his jokes and had no real intention of fighting to the death. Could you please set aside this matter for now, for my sake?"

Lin Yu deactivated his Hyper-Time Transformation, his figure solidifying, his sharp gaze piercing through Karl's projection: "Karl, do you believe I cannot eliminate this illusory form as well?"

"Absolutely not," Karl smiled calmly, his eyes deep. "I know you possess the power to touch the root. I certainly believe you have the strength to deal with me." "However, if I am determined to leave, you... probably cannot stop me." His words carried a hint of confident indifference.

Lin Yu stared at him for a moment, then waved his hand lazily: "Take this piece of trash and get lost."

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Karl bowed again, and his projection, along with Hua Ye, who was struggling to get up and looked disheveled, turned into specks of pale blue starlight, disappearing into the conference room of Skyblade No. 7 as if they had never existed.

In the Styx Galaxy, the space around Deathsong Academy distorted, and Karl and a slightly disheveled Hua Ye appeared in the dark and knowledge-filled hall of Deathsong Academy.

Hua Ye's face still showed shock, anger, and disbelief. He irritably tugged at his slightly disheveled royal robes and growled at Karl, "Karl! What kind of monster is that guy?! Why can't my black hole engine even seal him off?!"

Karl didn't answer immediately. He slowly walked to the huge window, his gaze fixed on the eternally desolate Styx sky outside, as if contemplating the truth of the universe. His voice was as calm as ever, without the slightest ripple:

"His mastery of time and space is unparalleled to the best of my knowledge. Even Liang Bing, who specializes in this field, is far inferior now." He paused, then gave a conclusion that made Hua Ye's heart sink, "You are no match for him."

Hua Ye's pupils contracted: "What do you mean?"

Karl slowly turned around, his eyes, which seemed to see through the void, looking at Hua Ye: "I have used the Great Clock to conduct countless calculations and simulations of his abilities. The results show... he can not only travel back in time, but also has the ability to interfere with and even change established history."

"Holy crap!!!" Hua Ye was so shocked he almost jumped up, his face showing genuine fear for the first time. "What the hell is this monster?! That means... he could go back in time and kill me when I was still a baby, and without causing any time paradoxes?!"

"Judging from his abilities in Luoyang and what he's demonstrated this time," Karl analyzed slowly, his tone almost cruelly calm, "theoretically, yes. It's just that it's still unclear what the limits of time and space he can rewind are."

Hua Ye completely panicked. His so-called arrogance as the "Heavenly Palace King" crumbled before this overwhelming power. He urgently asked, "Then... is there any way to deal with that guy? I can't keep hiding from him like a mouse forever, can I?!"

Karl's gaze returned to the window, his voice ethereal and profound:

"Let's avoid his sharp edge for now. I'll take care of the rest." He didn't offer a specific plan, but it was a promise.

Hua Ye looked at Karl's ever-confident demeanor, but felt increasingly uncertain. He grumbled and complained, "That unlucky kid Karl is so damn unreliable," as he opened the wormhole and left dejectedly.

Snow, who had been standing by like a shadow, finally stepped forward and whispered, "My God..."

Karl waved his hand gently, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more. His gaze remained fixed on the distance, as if piercing through endless space, landing on a figure he cared about. In a voice only he could hear, he whispered something with a complex and unfathomable emotion:

"Teacher... it seems that your theory of spacetime genes has reached the other side of success."

"And the void will ultimately prove that the path I chose... is the future."
