Super God Academy: Kabuto

Just a few days after Qi Lin left and life returned to normal, the afternoon sun shone brightly, lazily filling the courtyard. Lin Yu, He Xi, and Keisha were enjoying a rare moment of leisure, sitting around the pavilion, the steam rising from their teacups, with distant mountains appearing like dark eyebrows.

However, this tranquility was suddenly shattered.

Without warning, the space in the center of the courtyard twisted, and a light curtain shimmering with strange colors unfolded out of thin air, as if splashing a piece of oil paint that did not belong to this universe onto the canvas of reality.

A figure stepped out from within the light screen.

The newcomer was dressed in a well-tailored black suit and shirt, with a conspicuous magenta camera hanging around his neck. He was composed, as if he were simply walking from one room to another, his face bearing a cynical scrutiny.

This iconic outfit instantly struck a chord deep within Lin Yu's memory, and a name almost slipped out—Tsukasa Kadoya! The enigmatic Kamen Rider who called himself "a passing Kamen Rider"!

In the instant Lin Yu was stunned, He Xi and Keisha beside him had already stood up. The two Angel Kings reacted with lightning speed, their eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp, their powerful auras subtly locking onto this uninvited guest. Although they did not draw their silver blades, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Tsukasa Kadoya clearly sensed the tense atmosphere as well. His gaze quickly swept over the wary Tsuruhi and Keisha, and finally, his all-seeing eyes fixed firmly on Lin Yu.

He seemed to understand something, a meaningful smile, almost like "I knew it," appeared on his lips, then he shrugged as if somewhat regretful.

"Oh dear..." he said in his signature, slightly languid tone, "Looks like I'm a little early."

Having said that, without waiting for anyone's response, the mysterious visitor bowed slightly with impeccable manners. Then, without hesitation, he turned around, his steps still composed, and stepped back into the light barrier.

The light curtain closed and disappeared silently, just as it had appeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only the three people left in the courtyard staring at each other in bewilderment, and the huge mystery in the air about why "Kadoya Tsukasa" came and why he said it was "too early" still lingered.

The light curtain dissipated, and the courtyard seemed as if nothing had happened, leaving only a stagnant silence.

He Xi and Keisha turned their gazes to Lin Yu almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with scrutiny and questions. He Xi spoke first, breaking the silence: "Who is he? Judging from that look in his eyes at the end, it seems like he knows you?"

Lin Yu scratched his head, organized his thoughts, and explained, "Tsukasa Kadoya, you can also call him Brother Xiaoming. A... really, really strong guy." He paused, seemingly searching for the right adjective, "You've seen my 'Aurora Veil,' it should be similar to his kind of light screen. However, his can travel through different worlds and times, while mine can't yet."

"This guy," Lin Yu said with a mix of helplessness and familiarity, "is a typical 'wanderer,' always wandering around different worlds, and he even gave himself a scary-sounding title—'World Destroyer.'"

"The Destroyer of Worlds?" Keisha frowned slightly. As the Queen of the Gods, she was naturally wary of such a title. She pondered for a moment, assessing the unfathomable depth she had sensed during their brief encounter: "He is indeed very strong, with a very unique and profound aura. However," her tone regained its usual composure and confidence, "he may not be able to suppress me and He Xi."

"These are turbulent times," He Xi sighed softly, astutely grasping the key point. "A man like him wouldn't appear without reason. He must have come specifically to find you, Lin Yu."

Lin Yu nodded, his expression becoming more serious: "Yes, I can sense it. But the person he's looking for might not be the 'current' version of me."

At this point, Lin Yu's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle, carrying an indescribable certainty. He slowly raised his right hand, pointing his index finger straight to the sky.

Upon seeing this familiar starting stance, He Xi immediately sighed and muttered under her breath, "Here we go again..."

Lin Yu spoke clearly in a tone that was a mixture of seriousness and youthful exuberance, "Grandma said, 'If I want to, I can be stronger than anyone else.'"

Keisha, standing to the side, was completely stunned by this sudden and bizarre scene. She had witnessed countless gods and oaths from various civilizations, but such a... peculiar declaration and gesture was a first for her. After a long while, she commented with slight bewilderment, "Quite... peculiar."

The serious atmosphere in the air was somewhat diluted by the phrase "Grandma said," but the mystery brought by Tsukasa Kadoya, and the potential in Lin Yu that even he himself seemed not to have fully grasped, once again shrouded this ordinary afternoon in a mysterious and intriguing light.
