Super God Academy: Kabuto

The tranquility of the Winter Cherry Blossom World was broken by an unusual fluctuation from the outside world. Lin Yu frowned slightly, and in a flash, he appeared in the North Star Courtyard.

The air inside the courtyard distorted slightly, and several figures, unlike any known creatures, slowly coalesced. They were streamlined, gleaming with a deep-sea blue luster, with peculiar head structures, as if evolved from some highly intelligent marine mammal. They emanated powerful biomagnetic fields and mental fluctuations—they were individuals from the mysterious and aggressive Triangular Civilization in the known universe.

"Lin Yu, God," the leading triangular entity transmitted a somewhat awkward and obscure mental message directly to consciousness, its tone flat and monotonous, "Cooperation. A terrifying creature is approaching. It's invading, and we can't fight it alone. We are willing to fight it together with you."

Lin Yu leisurely examined them, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Cooperation? Fighting together?" He took a small step forward, an invisible pressure subtly spreading. "I remember, not long ago, one of your branches seemed to have shown considerable 'interest' in this planet called Earth, even attempting to 'occupy' it?"

A subtle disturbance appeared in the Triangular Body's mental fluctuations, followed by a clearer message: "Higher-ups, reassess. You are not the primary target. The terrifying creatures are the common threat. Cooperation increases our chances of survival. We are willing to relinquish our claim to the 'ownership' of this star system."

"Give up?" Lin Yu chuckled lightly, but there was little warmth in his laughter. "It sounds like charity, or... cheap appeasement after shifting the blame."

He said no more, not even giving the triangular entity a chance to continue transmitting its thoughts. He simply raised his hand seemingly casually, and gently clenched it in the air.

There was no earth-shattering energy eruption, no dazzling light and shadow effects. The space where those triangular figures were located seemed to have been instantly crushed by an invisible giant hand, collapsing and twisting inward abruptly! They didn't even have time to let out any mental screams. Their powerful bio-fields and sturdy bodies were crushed by incomprehensible spatial rules, like punctured bubbles, silently annihilating and dissipating, leaving not even the slightest trace of energy behind, as if they had never existed.

"Tell those high-ups who make decisions hidden in the deep sea or the void," Lin Yu said calmly to the now-calm air, his voice seemingly able to penetrate dimensions, "When it comes to cooperation, let those who can make the decisions come over here themselves. Sending a few mouthpieces with a condescending 'concession' attitude... is not enough."

After he finished speaking, his figure blurred again, returning to the lakeside cottage in the Winter Cherry Blossom World.

"What's wrong? There seemed to be some strange fluctuations outside just now." He Xi looked up from her research and asked sharply. Keisha also put down her book and turned her gaze to Lin Yu.

"A few triangular 'messengers,'" Lin Yu walked up to them, his tone as casual as if he were talking about something trivial, "said they were an evolved branch of marine mammals, coming to deliver a message, wanting to 'cooperate' against some 'terrifying creature,' and even generously offering to 'give' Earth to us." He shook his head, "I crushed them."

"The Triangles are actively seeking cooperation?" A sharp light flashed in Keisha's silver eyes. "Even this traditionally independent, even rather arrogant, civilization feels threatened, even willing to abandon the struggle for habitable planets..." She and He Xi exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes. "What could make them so wary... is Karl's 'Void' really about to open?"

"Most likely." Lin Yu walked to the window, gazing at the starry "sky" outside the small world, a symbol of the known universe. "Karl should be almost ready. What he needs is perhaps just the most suitable 'opportunity,' a 'cutting point' that can cause the greatest chaos, weaken resistance, or achieve some deeper purpose of his, and then... open that door and let the 'thing' behind it truly descend."

He Xi leaned closer, gently resting her head on Lin Yu's arm, her deep blue eyes filled with thought: "Husband, do you think... how did the Triangular Spheres detect it in advance? Their way of sensing is completely different from the Divine River Spheres. Could it be that in some star fields or dimensions where they are active, traces of void creatures have already appeared? Or... do they have some kind of connection or resonance with void energy that we don't know about?"

"Possibly." Lin Yu gently stroked He Xi's soft silver hair, his eyes deep. "The erosion of the void is not uniform. Perhaps at certain weak points in space or in areas with specific frequencies, the signs of leakage are detected earlier. It seems necessary to 'take a look' at the wider edge of the universe or certain special regions."

"Are you going alone?" Keisha stood up, walked to his other side, her tone calm but her eyes filled with concern. "Do you want me to come with you?"

"It's alright. This time, the main purpose is reconnaissance and confirmation. Having too many people will only attract the attention of certain entities." Lin Yu held Keisha's hand and squeezed it gently. "Besides, I plan to drag along that guy who's been wandering around and might have already sensed something. With him around, it'll be easier to escape and take a beating."

Keisha immediately understood who he was referring to, a knowing glint in her eyes. She nodded, "Okay. Be careful. We're here...."

He Xi straightened up and looked at him seriously: "Come back soon. Don't be reckless. If things get bad, use the Aurora Veil to run away. It's not shameful."

Lin Yu smiled and placed a light kiss on each of their foreheads: "Don't worry, I'm going to be a father, so I value my life very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure rippled and disappeared like a reflection in water, having already left the Winter Cherry Blossom World.
