Super God Academy: Kabuto

In the southwestern mountainous region, the night was as dark as ink, and the lights of the Liangshan military base appeared particularly small amidst the surrounding mountains.

Several armed helicopters roared down onto the base's helipad, and the fully armed members of the Super Soldier Company jumped out of the helicopters one by one. Without much rest, they quickly split into two groups and boarded two military pickup trucks that were already waiting. The engines roared, and the vehicles sped along the rugged and steep mountain road into the depths of the dense forest.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was heavy. The officer in charge of the rendezvous briefed everyone on the situation amidst the jolting, his voice mingling with the engine noise:

"The target... has been confirmed as Sun Wukong. His mobility is too great; he jumped across several provinces in succession, making it impossible for us to lock onto him. He... launched an attack on us, but we did not mount a substantial counterattack."

The soldier driving the car couldn't help but interject, his tone filled with confusion and a hint of barely perceptible fear: "First the mysterious robot, then the silver-armored angel, and now Sun Wukong... and now you guys too. Is this... still the world I know?" His question expressed the feelings of all ordinary soldiers facing events that shatter their understanding.

Outside the window, military helicopter formations still roared past in the night sky, their searchlight beams like sharp swords, trying to pierce the darkness of the deep mountains.

"Alright," the officer steadied himself and said through the communicator, "You're that... special forces unit?"

"The Super Soldier Corps," Rose calmly corrected, her gaze still sharply sweeping across the dark mountains and forests outside the window.

"He's on the top of the tower on that mountain ahead, and he just arrived recently. We dare not alert him, so we can only keep an eye on him from a distance."

The pickup truck came to an abrupt stop at a hastily opened intersection, kicking up clouds of dust.

"We're here! This is the most we can take you!" the officer said in a low voice. "Any further and we'll be easily spotted. The rest is up to you!"

"Understood," Rose jumped out of the car first and whispered, "Everyone, stay alert, remain where you are, and await further instructions."

The night wind in the deep mountains caressed the group of young super soldiers, and the outline of the solitary tower on the distant mountain peak was faintly visible under the moonlight. An invisible pressure enveloped everyone's heart.

Deep in the dense forest, the members of the Super Soldier Company, utilizing the concealment properties of their dark alloy armor, slowly advanced in tactical formation. The tall trees stood like silent giants in the night, the pale moonlight filtering through their branches barely illuminating their path.

"Everyone, maintain formation!" Rose whispered, her instructions clear over the communication channel. "The target is still at the top of the tower, showing no signs of movement."

Qi Lin, as the sniper, was positioned relatively far back in the team. She held her God-Slaying Sniper Rifle steady, locking her gaze through the high-powered scope onto the silhouette of the solitary tower atop the distant mountain peak. The cold barrel of the rifle gleamed eerily in the night.

"Um... Won't Monkey King find out about us?" Zhao Xin crouched down and couldn't help but ask in a low voice over the channel, his voice filled with obvious unease.

"We're wearing dark alloy armor," Rose replied calmly, her sharp gaze scanning the surroundings. "Sun Wukong won't be able to detect us approaching."

"But...doesn't Sun Wukong have fiery eyes?" Qi Lin's voice came from behind, carrying the caution unique to a sniper.

"The so-called 'eagle eyes,' in modern terms, is basically a dark energy analyzer," Rose continued, her tone leaving no room for doubt. "Our dark alloy armor can effectively shield against this kind of detection; he can't see through it."

"Then... what are the 72 Transformations?" Ge Xiaolun asked, panting, as he carried the greatsword, voicing another huge question that had been nagging at him.

"Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, is a figure from mythology, but in essence, he is also a super warrior of the Divine River gene," Rose replied, based on the information she had gathered before setting off. "The data provided by Lena indicates that he does not possess the true ability to create something from nothing."

"Lena's information...Lena's information..." Liu Chuang muttered to himself, his tone tinged with complaint and confusion, "She knows everything, so why doesn't she come herself?"

These words seemed to express the sentiments of some team members, and a brief silence fell over the channel. Clearly, this "goddess," who was absent from the battlefield but seemed to know everything, stirred complex emotions in the team members who were undertaking such a dangerous mission for the first time.

"Enough talk, stay focused!" Rose commanded in a low voice, interrupting the subtle tension that was building. "We've entered the area the target might be able to sense, so everyone be alert!"

Everyone tensed up, instinctively lowering their stance and watching with even greater vigilance the solitary tower ahead that seemed to devour all light, and the silent yet oppressively imposing figure atop it.
