Super God Academy: Kabuto

In the vast universe, Keisha and Lin Yu were speeding towards the direction of the Heavenly Court of Merlo. Suddenly, the surrounding starscape distorted and blurred violently, like the surface of water after a stone has been thrown in. The next second, the two found themselves in a completely different space.

Here, the mountains are verdant and the waters are clear, shrouded in mist, with waterfalls and springs in the distance and exotic flowers and plants nearby, brimming with peaceful and rich vitality, forming a stark contrast to the cold and lonely deep space.

Keisha frowned slightly, her sacred knowledge repository rapidly scanning the surrounding environment, but finding no matching data: "Where is this place? The spatial structure... is very peculiar, it doesn't belong to any coordinates in the known universe."

Lin Yu was also looking around, his eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry: "I don't know. The spatial displacement happened without any warning, not even Kabuto gave any advance warning."

A series of unhurried footsteps sounded from behind, breaking the tranquility of the space.

The two turned around at the same time

There stood another Lin Yu. He wore a well-tailored black trench coat, his expression languid, yet his eyes were as deep as the ancient starry sky, carrying a calm and indifference born of a lifetime of experience. Just by standing there, the invisible aura emanating from him seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

A hint of surprise flashed in Keisha's eyes. She looked at the familiar Lin Yu beside her, and then at the "Lin Yu" in front of her who had a more profound and reserved aura. Even the King of Gods was somewhat taken aback by this paradoxical scene in the timeline.

Lin Yu, dressed in black, looked directly past Keisha and landed on his younger self. His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight:

"You're still too weak," he said slowly. "With your current strength, you simply can't protect your sister."

The young Lin Yu looked at his future self, his brows furrowed, his lips slightly moving, but ultimately he said nothing. He simply clenched his fists, feeling the immense gap and pressure contained in those seemingly innocuous words.

"This is a special space, independent of the mainstream timeline and the universe." Lin Yu, dressed in black, pointed to the sky, as if recalling something. "I discovered it by chance during one of my travels. It can be completely isolated from the outside world. No matter what happens inside, it will not affect the time flow of the main universe. You will remain the same after leaving here."

His gaze sharpened again, fixing directly on Lin Yu: "And your application of Kabuto Zecter's power is still at a rather superficial stage."

Without another word, he raised his hand, and the red Kabuto insect instrument appeared from the void, landing precisely in his hand.

【Henshin! (Transformation!)】

The armor instantly covered his entire body.

【Cast Off! (Armor Burst!)】

The heavy armor burst open, revealing a sleek red knight form. Then, he raised his hand to catch the Hyper Insect Device that flew out of the void and embedded it into his belt.

[Hyper Cast Off! (Beyond Armor Burst!)]

The armor, which transcends its original form and has a more futuristic look, is fully donned, accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations.

Seeing this, Lin Yu's eyes narrowed, and he also stretched out his hand. Another HEPA insect device responded to the call and came running.

[Hyper Cast Off! (Beyond Armor Burst!)]

Two identical Beyond Form Kamen Riders confront each other in this strange world.

Keisha watched this scene with great interest from afar. She found a flat boulder, sat down elegantly, rested her chin on her hand, and looked ready to watch a good show: "Tsk tsk, interesting."

On the field, the two moved almost simultaneously!

[Hyper Clock Up!]

hum! ! !

Two red figures in transcendent forms vanished from their original positions in an instant, entering a super-high-speed domain that defied the laws of physics! Within this domain, everything outside was almost still, except for the two of them, who transformed into streaks of light tearing through space, colliding wildly in the air at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye!

Fists, feet, elbows, knees… each clash unleashed terrifying energy shockwaves, silently pulverizing the surrounding rocks and vegetation! Their fighting techniques originated from the same source, yet their styles differed due to differences in experience and understanding. The future Lin Yu's attacks were like a gazelle leaping across the sky, leaving no trace, his mastery of power exquisite; while the present Lin Yu relied more on instinct and basic skills, equally swift, but falling short in the details.

This battle, which defied time, lasted only two minutes.

In a perfectly timed attack, the future Lin Yu seized a tiny opening in his younger self and delivered a spinning kick imbued with spiraling force, slamming it hard into his breastplate!

"Bang!"

Like a kite with a broken string, Lin Yu was pulled out of the ultra-high-speed domain and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. He lay on the ground, cracks spreading across his chest armor, unable to get up for a short time.

He hovered in mid-air, then slowly landed, deactivating his transformation. Looking at himself lying on the ground, he gently shook his head, his tone unreadable—whether it was disappointment or expectation.

"Tsk, two minutes."

He walked up to Lin Yu, looking down at him: "From now on, every now and then, I'll bring you here. Until... you can satisfy me."

After speaking, his figure vanished like a phantom, along with the Hypa worm he had brought. The Hypa worm at Lin Yu's waist also seemed to have exhausted its energy, detaching itself and disappearing into the void.

The strange space began to fluctuate, and the surrounding scenery gradually blurred and disappeared like a faded oil painting. In the blink of an eye, the two were back in the cold and silent universe, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Lin Yu struggled to stand up from the void, feeling waves of pain emanating from his body. He looked in the direction where he would disappear in the future and remained silent.

Keisha flapped her wings and flew to his side. Seeing his somewhat disheveled appearance and clearly dejected expression, she couldn't help but chuckle and tease him:

"Oh, our all-powerful Lord Lin Yu, is it... that you've been beaten into a rage?"

Lin Yu glanced at her, ignoring her teasing, and simply took a deep breath to calm his surging blood and even more turbulent emotions, uttering two simple words:

"Let's go."

He continued forward towards the Heavenly Court of Merlo, but his silhouette carried a heavier weight than before, along with a ignited, indomitable flame. His future self pressed down like a mountain, yet it also pointed the way forward. The path to strength had never been so clear, nor so difficult.
