Super God Academy: Kabuto

On the observation deck of Demon One, a golden icon representing the Angel Fleet was flashing violently on several floating screens in front of Liang Bing. It then dimmed considerably, and rapid damage reports and data streams flooded the screens. Rose stood beside her, her fingers clenching silently.

"Tsk, already suffering a loss so quickly?" Liang Bing raised an eyebrow, her tone unreadable, whether it was sarcasm or something else. "Keisha just 'came back to life' and ran into the Triangles' main force, her luck is really 'good'." She glanced sideways at Rose's tense profile. "Worried about your former comrades?"

Rose paused for a moment, then shook her head, her gaze fixed on the unusually orderly attack route of the triangular prism on the star map: "Not entirely. The triangular prism's tactics... have become very methodical, unlike their usual selves. Moreover, the angel's retreat... is unnaturally fast. It's as if they were specifically targeted."

In an unknown star system, at Hua Ye's hidden royal court, "Hahaha—!!" Unrestrained, maniacal laughter echoed through the dimly lit hall. Hua Ye nearly collapsed from his animal-skin-covered throne, spilling drops of crimson wine from his cup. "Keisha! That woman Keisha is really alive and kicking again?! She even fought those brainless triangles to a bloody pulp?!"

The fallen angel officer, kneeling on one knee below, bowed his head and respectfully reported, "It is absolutely true, my king. Our concealed detectors have detected the aftershocks of the battlefield's energy. The angelic legion has suffered considerable losses. The Triangles seem to have employed some kind of... resonance tactic, which has greatly interfered with the angels' dark communications and joint calculations."

Hua Ye's laughter subsided, but a more intense flame, a mixture of savagery and amusement, ignited in his eyes. "Interesting… very interesting!" He licked the wine stains from his lips. "An old adversary who died and came back to life, a bunch of crazed seafood… this universe is finally lively again. Noning," he looked at the silent angel beside him, "tell me, should we send Keisha a 'gift of condolence,' or… go and add fuel to the fire for those triangulation beings?"

Nonin remained expressionless, but a cold, calculating glint flashed in her eyes: "My King, whichever side we choose, it's an opportunity for us to weaken the others. Perhaps we can wait until they've exhausted themselves further."

At Deathsong Academy, on the observatory, Karl's gaze seemed not to be focused on the enormous star map before him, which showed the Emerald Star passage slowly taking shape, but rather pierced through the roof, staring into a void dimension incomprehensible to ordinary people. The whispers there were clearer, carrying a rhythmic tidal wave.

Snow appeared silently behind him like a ghost, his voice as flat and even as ever: "My God, the angels have just been defeated, and the Triangles are riding high. Hua Ye... seems to have already received the news. Knowing his personality, he will never let this opportunity slip by."

Karl finally moved slightly, a faint smile seemingly appearing in the shadows beneath his hood. "Let Hua Ye join in the fun, Snow. Anonymously send him the coordinates near the Emerald Star passage, and... a portion of the shallow frequency of the energy resonance between the Triangle and the Void Sea Clan."

His voice was gentle, yet it carried an air of indifference that suggested he controlled everything: "The conflict between light and shadow is certainly pure, but only when the water is thoroughly stirred can we see... what lies hidden beneath the abyss. Hua Ye's ambition and chaos, the Triangle's instincts and corruption, the angels' order and resilience... these are all excellent catalysts that help... accelerate the stability of the channel and filter out valuable 'observation samples' for us."

Snow bowed: "Yes. I will make sure Hua Ye 'just happens' to discover this 'intelligence'."

Karl turned his gaze back to the Emerald Star, which was gradually tearing apart the real universe, and said in a low, chanting voice, "The stage for sacrifice needs more characters and more intense conflicts. Only in the midst of extreme destruction and chaos... will the gate to the ultimate void be fully opened."

The star map behind him, with its gray dots representing Hua Ye's forces, began to quietly move towards the star field where the Triangles were fighting the Angels and towards Emerald Star.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court of Merlo, Keisha watched the projection, her expression calm and undisturbed, only her eyes burning with a cold, golden flame. She received battle reports from various locations, her finger lightly tapping the armrest of her throne.

"Adjust formation, activate the 'Sacred Bulwark' protocol. This time, the Triangle... has something directing it from behind. Contact Liang Bing," she paused, then added, "in my name. Tell her that if she still wants to protect the universe where Rose resides, some things are getting interesting, and she'd better not just watch."

On the chessboard of the entire universe, more pieces are being pushed by an invisible hand, converging towards the center of the vortex. The ancient echoes of the void abyss seem to have become clearer.
