Super God Academy: Kabuto

The hands of time seemed to be suddenly sped up by an invisible hand. Just a few days later, the early warning system on the outer edge of the solar system lit up with a blinding scarlet light.

Hua Ye's main fleet of Taotie, like a swarm of hungry locusts, approached the blue planet in a dark, overwhelming manner. Nuoning stood beside Hua Ye, her gaze sweeping across the distance: "Hua Ye, should we send the Taotie's cannon fodder to test the waters first? We'll provide support from the rear." She emphasized the word "support" with great meaning.

Hua Ye grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Just what I wanted. Let these tin cans go and wear me down."

Upon receiving the order, the Taotie fleet, like a swarm of disturbed bees, poured out and charged toward Earth's defenses.

Earth, near-Earth orbit defense line, Mangdangshan and its escort formation.

Alarms blared, lights blared. The entire Super Soldier Company was in position, their black armor reflecting a dark luster in the cold light of the corridor. Wei Laoqi's elite squad had also donned the G3-X reinforced exoskeletons modified by He Xi. The silver-gray armor lines were sharp and cold, the energy core humming steadily in their chests, exuding a technological feel that was distinctly different from the black armor series but equally reassuring.

"Enemy ship has entered firing range!"

"Fire!"

The light from the energy cannons instantly tore through the darkness of the universe, silently weaving a web of destruction in the vacuum. The massive hull of the Mangdang Mountain served as a mobile fortress, its main guns roaring, each salvo tearing a burning wound in the Taotie fleet.

"Angel Squad, follow me!" Angel Leng took the lead, drawing her flaming sword and stirring up a scorching storm. Behind her, the high-ranking angels transformed into streaks of silver meteors, cutting into the enemy ship formation with dazzling maneuverability, weaving between the massive hulls and precisely destroying engines, turrets, and command nodes.

On the ground, Sun Wukong plucked a hair from his body, blew on it, and countless clones wielding the Golden Cudgel soared into the air, meeting the dense swarm of small flying vehicles and landing pods that attacked like flies. The cudgels flashed, leaving bursts of fire in their wake. Soton, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. With a roar, he hurled his axe, which transformed into a crimson swirling storm, carving a vacuum of flesh and metal through the swarm of Taotie. The axe flew back, he caught it, licked his lips, and threw it again.

Inside the flagship of the Taotie, the Taotie King watched as the warship indicators and soldier life signals rapidly decreased on the screen, cold sweat soaking his combat suit. He forced a connection and answered the communicator with Hua Ye: "King Hua Ye! The Super Soldier Company and the Angels' counterattack is too fierce! And those newly appeared silver armors—their defense and firepower far surpass our individual soldier equipment! At this rate… we might not be able to hold out for long!"

"Hmm?" Hua Ye stroked his chin, a hint of impatience and ruthlessness flashing in his single eye. "Useless." He waved his hand and said to Nuoning beside him, "You go and deal with that annoying monkey and that stupid crocodile. As for the Super Soldier Squad and those few angel girls... I'll personally go and 'take care' of them."

"Okay." Noning accepted the order, and her figure vanished as a shadow.

Hua Ye's gaze fell on the Mangdang Mountain, which stood like a pillar of strength in the center of the battlefield, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips: "Warm-up over, time for the main course."

The next second, the void wings on his back suddenly flapped, and his figure disappeared from the original spot. When he reappeared, he had already landed on the main deck of the Mangdang Mountain!

The immense dark energy belonging to the fourth-generation divine body was released without reservation, crashing down like an invisible mountain! The heavy alloy-cast deck groaned under the weight, and began to twist and collapse visibly from the center of his feet.

"Tsk, quite interesting." Hua Ye hovered in mid-air, toying with a black void energy ball that was constantly annihilating the surrounding light, looking down with great interest.

On the deck, the Super Soldier Corps soldiers seemed rooted to the spot. Ge Xiaolun roared, trying to spread his wings; Liu Chuang gripped the God-Slaying Axe tightly; and Lena conjured miniature flares in her hands, but their movements were incredibly sluggish, as if struggling in sticky glue. Only Wei Laoqi, transformed into Steel Fighter, and Qi Lin, in Kamen Rider Thunder, could still move with difficulty. The angels tried to rush forward, but were firmly bound by the omnipresent dark energy field, and even the light on their Flaming Swords dimmed slightly.

Hua Ye watched all this with satisfaction. The light of the Void Annihilation Bullet at his fingertips grew brighter and brighter. He prepared to casually throw it down and wipe away this symbol of resistance along with the warrior on it.

At this critical moment—

A series of clear, steady footsteps, even carrying a strange rhythm, abruptly broke the deathly silence.

Click, tap, click, tap.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, yet they seemed to be on the beat of some kind of heartbeat, piercing through the roar of dark energy and the groans of metal.
