Super God Academy: Kabuto

Just as Big Brother roared to the sky, smugly waiting for the main force of the Super Soldier Corps to appear, a figure that looked particularly "petite" compared to its massive body silently appeared on the ruins behind it.

Thorton picked at his ear with his paw, seemingly finding the other's roar a bit noisy, and then shouted rudely, "Hey! You big oaf up there!"

Hearing the voice, Big Brother turned around in confusion. Looking down, he saw a crocodile wearing strange shorts, standing upright, talking to him. It paused for a moment, then let out a mocking boom: "What are you? How dare you make a sound here? Where's the Super Soldier Company? Let them come out!"

"You're the thing!" Thornton hated being called a "thing" or a "treasure," and immediately became enraged. "Take this!"

Before he finished speaking, his arm muscles bulged, and he hurled two gleaming crescent axes at Big Ben with all his might! The axes whistled through the air as they spun toward their target.

Seeing this, Big Brother flapped his enormous wings, and his massive body soared into the air with surprising agility, easily dodging the two flying axes. Hovering in mid-air, he looked down at Soton on the ground and scoffed, "That's it? Is the Super Soldier Squad out of people? Sending a crocodile to its death?"

Thorton, however, remained calm, pointing his paw at Big Brother's back, a sly glint in his eyes: "Big dummy, look behind you!"

Big Brother instinctively turned around—only to see that the two crescent axes, which should have flown far away, were actually coming back as if they had a life of their own, drawing two strange arcs in the air! Moreover, they were faster and sharper!

It didn't even have time to react!

"Swish! Swish!"

Two cold, icy lights, like the scythes of death, crisscrossed and instantly sliced ​​across its massive body!

The mocking expression on Big Ben's face froze instantly. It looked down in disbelief and saw two clean cuts on its body. Then, its huge body shattered into pieces, crashing to the ground like disassembled building blocks, kicking up clouds of dust.

Thorton strolled over leisurely, picked up his beloved axe, wiped it on the fur, glanced at the remains of Great Beren on the ground, and curled his lip:

"That's it? Not even enough for me to warm up."

He was still thinking about that big meal.

"Never mind, let's go back and eat! Ten whole roasted lambs, hehe!"

He happily swung his thick tail, as if he had only accomplished a trivial task, and carrying his axe, he swayed away from the ruins where the battle had just ended.

Inside the command center of the Mangdang Mountain, the members of the Super Soldier Company, who had witnessed the entire process through satellite images, fell silent for a moment.

Several seconds passed before Zhao Xin murmured, "I...wow...that was fast!"

Liu Chuang scratched his head: "This idiot... he's really going all out for a living!"

Even the usually aloof Qi Lin couldn't help but smile slightly.

On the distant Demon Wings, Liang Bing, who witnessed this scene through dark energy monitoring, almost dropped the red wine she had just picked up.

She stared at the crocodile wagging its tail and leaving in the picture, her delicate face filled with astonishment and disbelief, and she couldn't help but swear:

"Holy crap! Tsk... What kind of monster is this crocodile? Is it really that powerful?!"

She tried hard to recall: "I remember... this seems to be a failed product of some 'Peak Beast Body' research that Karl, that pervert, researched in his early years, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, her brows furrowing: "How did it end up in the hands of those brats from the Super Soldier Squad? And why has it become so... ferocious?!"

The afternoon sun lazily shone on the courtyard of Beizhixing. Hexi and Keisha were playing chess under the pavilion. The crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard occasionally broke the silence.

At that moment, a gray light screen unfolded, and Tsukasa Kadoya walked out with his hands in his trench coat pockets, taking his usual steps.

Lin Yu, who was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he had expected it, and lazily asked, "Why are you here so early today?"

"There's not much to do over there, and the training is all on track, so I just came over for a stroll." Tsukasa Kadoya replied casually, his gaze sweeping over the two stunning figures under the pavilion. He then walked to the empty lounge chair next to Lin Yu, lay down without any hesitation, and let out a comfortable sigh.

The two lay side by side, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. After a while, Lin Yu, still with his eyes closed, casually spoke to the sunlight:

"Have you...done something you shouldn't have done lately?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant—had his secret use of the dimensional wall to rewind time and investigate the reason for Lin Yu's disappearance been discovered? Or had his trip to the Divine River Ruins to find Kiran been exposed? Impossible, he did it quite discreetly.

"Really?" He feigned composure, turning his head to look at Lin Yu. "You're overthinking it. What could I possibly do?"

Lin Yu finally moved. He slowly sat up, his gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable sharpness, and looked directly at Kadoya Tsukasa:

"You and my sister Qilin are getting a little too close."

So that's what it was about! Tsukasa Kadoya breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately retorted, his tone exaggeratedly feigning innocence: "No way! It was just normal instruction! I'm officially their instructor now, so isn't it normal for me to teach a bit more?"

"Is that so?" Lin Yu's tone was unreadable, but his words carried a heavy weight. "Kadoya Tsukasa, this world is just a stop along your journey, a stage for a 'story'."

His voice was deep and clear:

"Don't touch my sister. You two... are not a good match."

This was already quite blunt. Tsukasa Kadoya sat up straight, abandoning his nonchalant expression, and met Lin Yu's gaze, his eyes filled with seriousness and clarification:

"What are you thinking! How could I possibly lay a hand on your sister?" He was somewhat amused and exasperated. "In my eyes, Qi Lin is just a little sister who needs to be taken care of—simple, hardworking, and that's all. Besides," he leaned back in his recliner, looked up at the sky, and his tone regained its wandering, carefree air, "I'm going to continue my journey, traversing world after world, and I won't stay in any one place for too long."

Lin Yu stared at him for a few seconds, as if confirming the truthfulness of his words. Finally, the sharpness in his eyes slowly subsided, and he lay back down, resuming his previous languid posture, and softly uttered three words:

"I hope so."

The sunlight remained warm, the courtyard remained tranquil, and the chess game under the pavilion continued. But the lingering effects of their brief exchange, like an undercurrent, slowly spread through their hearts. Tsukasa Kadoya understood Lin Yu's inviolable bottom line, and Lin Yu, in turn, gave him his clearest warning.

Some boundaries, once crossed, offer no turning back.
