Super God Academy: Kabuto

"Manipulating light particles, altering the local flow of time..." He Xi gazed at the battlefield, muttering thoughtfully, "The power to temporarily freeze time is truly astonishing."

Beside her, Lin Yu, who had transformed into Kabuto, nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging her analysis.

Just as the two were talking, the main cannon of the Taotie Cross in the sky once again lit up with an ominous red light, the energy gathering at a level far greater than before! Inside the bridge, the commander was furious because the wind and thunder had been destroyed:

"Target, that blue-armored man! Ferocious Tide, maximum power! Fire!"

"Do you need my help?" He Xi turned to look at Lin Yu. Lin Yu shook his head and looked in Qi Lin's direction.

A destructive energy torrent, several times thicker than before, like a roaring crimson dragon, tore through the sky and hurtled straight toward Qi Lin, who had just deactivated her transformation and was exhausted!

"Oh no!" Reina's pupils constricted, and she cried out over the communication channel, "Sun Wukong, can you stop him?!"

"I'm rushing! I can stop it, but there's not enough time!" Sun Wukong's voice was filled with anxiety, and his golden figure flashed rapidly in the air, but he was clearly unable to catch up with the speed of the destructive light.

Qi Lin stared at the rapidly enlarging beam of death in her field of vision, feeling the suffocating pressure of its energy. The image of Lin Yu flashed through her mind, and with a hint of resentment and regret, she closed her eyes.

"Brother...I'm sorry."

At the critical moment!

Hyper Clock Up!

An electronic sound effect that transcends the boundaries of ordinary understanding seemed to resound from the ends of time and space!

In an instant, everything froze! The flying dust, the explosions, the fleeing figures, and even the destructive beam of light... all seemed to be paused, frozen in a magnificent yet eerie scene.

In this absolutely still, gray world, the only color and movement is the newly appeared red figure.

He resembled Lin Yu's Kabuto, yet was entirely different. His armor lines were sharper and more fluid; the armor on his shoulders, chest, back, and calves unfolded layer by layer, revealing a sophisticated internal structure. Most breathtakingly, a pair of wings made of pure energy unfurled from his back, as thin as cicada wings yet shimmering with iridescent light, making him appear like a supreme being from mythology—Hyper Kabuto!

He calmly raised his hand and clenched it in the air.

A strangely shaped longsword, seemingly composed of countless insect core components, pierced through the air and landed in his hand.

【All zecters combined! (Hundred Insect Swords Assembled!)】

The sword instantly burst forth with a seven-colored light that pierced through the heavens and earth!

【MAXIMUM HYPER TYPHOON!】

He drew his sword.

The movements were simple and elegant, as if he were just casually tearing a piece of thin paper.

A seven-colored sword light, refined to its extreme and containing power beyond the rules of the mortal world, surged forward silently.

【Clock Over!】

The deafening sound of time resuming its flow exploded in everyone's minds!

All the onlookers saw was that the raging torrent, powerful enough to destroy the entire Tianhe City, was neatly split in two like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the tiny seven-colored sword light, and then collapsed with a roar! The seven-colored sword light did not lose any momentum, and like a hot knife cutting through butter, it easily penetrated the Taotie Cross Ship's light energy barrier, which was said to be "impenetrable even by nuclear bombs," and silently entered the core of the ship.

The next second, a deafening rumble!

A light more dazzling than the sun burst forth from inside the cross-shaped ship. The massive hull seemed to be torn apart from within by an invisible force, and amidst a series of earth-shattering explosions, it transformed into an ever-expanding fireball and a rain of fragments, slowly falling from the sky.

Everyone who had just recovered from the time freeze stared in disbelief at the dramatic scene unfolding in the sky, their minds blank.

"It's...it's over?" Zhao Xin stammered, his mouth agape.

"Brother!" Qi Lin, having survived the ordeal, looked at the red figure floating in the air and shouted excitedly, instinctively reaching out her hand.

Hyperion tilted his head slightly, his ice-blue compound eyes meeting Lin Yu's gaze across the vast distance. Their eyes seemed to convey countless unspoken messages in that instant.

Immediately, he stopped and with a gentle flap of his seven-colored energy wings, his figure vanished like a phantom amidst the ripples of space, as if he had never existed.
