Super God Academy: Kabuto

In the tranquil afternoon of the Winter Cherry Blossom World, soft light and shadow filled the lakeside cabin. Lin Yu, Keisha, and He Xi sat around a light table covered with design drawings and data streams, engaging in an in-depth discussion about a wide-area purification device that combined the principles of angelic fiery judgment and spacetime anchoring.

Just as He Xi traced a complex energy circuit model with her fingertips, Keisha proposed corrective parameters for the "rejection reaction" between the divine code and void energy.

The space outside the cabin suddenly and violently distorted without warning!

It wasn't the malicious tearing sensation of an enemy attack; it was more like something "squeezing" in in an extremely brutal and unreasonable way.

Lin Yu was the first to sense it, his brow furrowing as he instantly appeared at the doorway. Keisha and He Xi followed closely behind, their eyes filled with wariness and doubt.

In the courtyard, Tsukasa Kadoya stood with a helpless expression that said, "Here we go again." Behind him followed a creature whose style was clearly out of place with the surrounding landscape. It was about the height of a person, with a bright dark red body covered in rough carapace. The most striking feature of its head was two giant, forward-curving, bull-like crimson horns. Its golden eyes were looking around curiously and impatiently, and it exuded an aura of "I'm very restless."

"What...what kind of creature is this?" He Xi blinked her azure eyes, scanning the red creature with the meticulous gaze of a researcher, trying to find a corresponding entry in the known encyclopedia of life in the universe. Although Keisha did not speak, her slightly furrowed brows and scrutinizing gaze also expressed her question.

Upon hearing this, the red creature immediately jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on, hands on its hips, its large horns swaying, its voice booming with a wild pride:

"Hey! You two pretty little girls, what are you saying?! I'm not some kind of 'creature'!" It deliberately lowered its voice, striking a pose it thought was extremely ferocious and terrifying, but was actually somewhat comical. "Listen up! I am the time-traveling, fearsome Otherworldly being—Lord Momotaros!"

Before it finished speaking, its figure suddenly blurred, and in the next instant, it appeared between Keisha and He Xi with a speed beyond normal vision, accompanied by a gust of hot wind. Its large face was almost in front of them, and it grinned with a "fierce" smile, trying to show its "terrifying" nature.

However, the expected gasps or retreats did not occur.

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

Keisha merely tilted her head back slightly, her silver eyes calmly fixed on the large red face so close to hers, as if assessing an unusual exhibit. He Xi raised an eyebrow, even reaching out a finger as if to poke the seemingly high-quality red carapace, but was stopped by a glance from Lin Yu.

Tsukasa Kadoya covered his face, unable to bear watching, his shoulders trembling slightly.

"Ahem." Lin Yu coughed lightly, breaking the eerie silence. He looked at the red demon god, his tone carrying a hint of confirmation, "You are... Momotaros?"

Momotaros immediately turned its head, its attention diverted, and raised its big horn smugly: "Oh? You know my great name?" It then struck what it thought was a very cool pose, arms crossed and one leg shaking.

Lin Yu didn't answer him. Instead, he turned to He Xi and Keisha, who were leaning close to him with curiosity in their eyes, and quickly explained in a low voice, "The legendary 'Heisei cancer'... cough, one of the 'Train Four Idiots,' I've heard of their reputation. They come from the Timeline Train, and their fighting power... well, it's pretty strong, but their personality is a bit... too 'enthusiastic.' You two, stay a little further away from him." As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to Momotaros, who was winking at Kadoya Tsukasa (although Kadoya Tsukasa looked disgusted).

"Hey, Tsukasa Kadoya," Lin Yu raised his voice, looking at his companion who looked utterly dejected, "Why did you bring him along? Shouldn't he be with Ryotaro?"

Tsukasa Kadoya finally managed to shake off Momotaros's attempt to put her arm around his shoulder and walked over to Lin Yu, sighing, "Don't even mention it. Ryotaro had a little trouble and asked for my help, so I went on the Time Train. After I finished, that idiot said something like 'This looks more fun,' and just followed me through the Aurora Curtain! I couldn't shake him off!"

"What are you saying, you stinky Decade!" Momotaros had sharp ears and immediately yelled in dissatisfaction upon hearing this, then her body suddenly turned into a streak of red light!

"I, come on!"

The red light didn't attack anyone; instead, it went straight into Tsukasa Kadoya's body!

The next second, Tsukasa Kadoya's body stiffened abruptly, his hair standing on end as if he had been electrocuted, with a strange, striking red highlight appearing in the middle. His gaze instantly changed, his pupils contracted, and the whites of his eyes were tinged with Momotaros's signature red. His entire demeanor shifted from Tsukasa Kadoya's nonchalant and unfathomable nature to Momotaros's savagery, excitement, and restlessness.

"(Tsukasa Kadoya's voice)" His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but what came out was Momotaros's signature loud voice: "We're practically family, just borrowing my body for a bit of fun! I'm so bored, I came over to have some fun! I'll go back when I'm done!"

The scene before them stunned Lin Yu, Keisha, and He Xi.

"..." He Xi silently withdrew her original idea of ​​studying the energy structure of the Otherworldly Demon God, turned to look at Lin Yu, and said with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, "Husband... I think I understand now why you told us to stay away from him just now."

Keisha nodded almost imperceptibly, gracefully taking half a step back to maintain a safe and appropriate distance from the "hybrid" that was making various exaggerated movements with Tsukasa Kadoya's body.

Lin Yu looked at "Tsukasa Kadoya" who was talking to himself (Tsukasa Kadoya himself was protesting in his consciousness, while Momotaros was controlling the body and causing trouble outside), and made a decisive decision.

"You two 'chat' first. We still have some 'weapon design' details that we need to discuss 'quietly' on that mountain peak over there." He pulled He Xi with one hand and gestured to Keisha with the other, his tone perfectly natural.

After saying that, before the "hybrid" could react, the three of them flashed and appeared on the top of a quiet mountain in the distance. Only the red figure with Tsukasa Kadoya's handsome face, but doing Momotaros's signature pose, and arguing with himself (?) in the courtyard, and the cheerful (and ridiculous) atmosphere that filled the air.

A gentle breeze caressed their faces atop the mountain. Lin Yu and the two queens exchanged silent glances, eventually shaking their heads and chuckling. It seemed that on the path to combating the void, besides the heavy responsibilities and lurking dangers, they would occasionally encounter some...unexpected aid with a peculiar style. It was just that the way this aid appeared was truly a headache.
