Super God Academy: Kabuto

Lin Yu stood by the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds and atmosphere, reaching the approaching shadow. He felt subtle vibrations emanating from the depths of space—the low rumble of the fleet's engines.

"Are we almost there?" he murmured to himself, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the windowsill. "Kabuto, do you think we should go over and see what's going on?"

The red insect instrument hovering on his shoulder emitted a soft hum, its compound eyes flashing.

Based on current data stream analysis, the probability of a collision has reached 97.3%. It is recommended to maintain a safe distance for observation.

At that moment, He Xi appeared silently in the living room, her silver hair shimmering in the setting sun. She leaned against the doorframe, her tone carrying a hint of probing:

"Kid, the Taotie's advance fleet has already entered Mars orbit. Are you really not going to go and help those little guys? In their current state, they'll probably have to pay a heavy price."

Lin Yu did not turn around, still gazing at the horizon:

"Informing them of the attack in advance is the greatest act of goodwill I can offer."

He finally turned around, his gaze calmly meeting He Xi's.

"If Earth is to truly step into interstellar civilization, this harsh beating is an inevitable step. A race capable of traversing the stars cannot grow in a greenhouse."

He Xi raised an eyebrow: "A cold-blooded judgment."

"That's reality." Lin Yu's fingertips brushed across Kabuto's carapace. "Besides... someone will make a move."

He looked up again at the darkening sky, the first stars reflected in his pupils. Behind one of those stars, a torrent of steel was closing in. And closer still, a group of young super soldiers were completing their final assembly.

Kabuto landed gently on his shoulder, its mechanical voice carrying an unusual solemnity:

The crossroads of fate are about to appear.

Lin Yu nodded slightly, picked up the slightly cool tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Let's see just how resilient this planet really is."

In the distance, the alarms on the Juxia were tearing through the night.

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned to look at He Xi beside him.

What do you want to eat tonight?

He Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment, her silver hair gleaming softly in the afterglow of the setting sun: "Sweet and sour pork ribs, I guess."

"Okay, wait a moment." Lin Yu turned and went into the kitchen. Not long after, several dishes were served one after another. The last dish he brought out was a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, which looked tempting with its color, aroma, and glossy red sauce.

Lin Yu washed his hands, wiped them on his apron, and said to He Xi, "We can eat now."

Halfway through the meal, He Xi looked up and gazed at Lin Yu, who was quietly eating across from her.

"You really aren't going to help those kids? Little Qilin is there too."

Lin Yu slowly cleared away the dishes, his eyes deep and thoughtful: "I'm verifying a guess. Besides, 'he' will make a move."

"'Him'?" He Xi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her icy blue eyes filled with curiosity. "Who exactly is this 'him' you mentioned? Is he a god hidden on Earth? Or... an existence we don't even know about?"

Lin Yu shook his head, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his lips. "Uncertainty, just a feeling, a... trajectory of fate. Earth needs to endure this ordeal to grow, but I won't stand idly by and watch certain beings truly destroy this beautiful planet. Balance is crucial."

Even your compatriots...

"I just want Qilin to be safe." Lin Yu interrupted her. "No matter how chaotic the world is, I can still protect my family and keep them safe in a corner of the world." "When are you leaving?" Lin Yu asked softly. "Being with me is just a waste of time."

"Tsk, how indifferent," He Xi chuckled. "We were neighbors for a few weeks, after all."

He looked up at her, a barely perceptible hint of interest flashing in his eyes:

"Since you're not leaving, let's go see a play together."
