Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

Mo Bai dragged her tired body home, and the clock had already passed midnight.

But he didn't fall asleep as usual.

Only a dim bedside lamp was lit in the room, outlining his silhouette as he leaned against the headboard.

He pulled his phone out of his coat pocket, the cold light from the screen illuminating his worried eyes.

With a swipe of my finger, I opened the pinned chat box – Xiaoban.

The cursor in the input box blinked, just like his chaotic thoughts at that moment.

He tapped rapidly on the screen, trying to warn Ben about the potential dangers of the ultimate form, his words filled with urgency.

However, just as the sentence "It's best not to undergo the ultimate transformation" was about to take shape, his finger hovered over the send button.

The image of Xiaoban's face, perhaps already fast asleep, came to mind.

"It's probably best not to disturb her rest..." he muttered to himself, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

My fingertip swiped across the screen, deleting all the unsent messages. The screen went blank again, leaving only that familiar profile picture.

He gently placed his phone on the bedside table, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Forget it, let's talk about it properly in person tomorrow.

He pulled the blanket up, completely enveloping himself in the soft darkness, forcing his tense nerves to relax and sinking into the deep sea of ​​sleep.

As dawn broke outside the window, the faint morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a hazy band of light on the floor.

On the treetops, early birds are singing their morning songs with great enthusiasm, their crisp chirping echoing in the quiet room.

But to Mo Bai, all of this seemed like looking through a thick layer of frosted glass.

He was deep in a quagmire of deep sleep, his breathing even and long, as if nothing could wake him.

After all, he was the kind of person who could still fall soundly asleep amidst a noisy pool party and surrounded by countless beautiful women in swimsuits.

However, this tranquility was abruptly shattered by a piercing, urgent ringing.

"Jinglingling~jinglingling~"

The phone on the bedside table vibrated wildly, emitting a sharp noise.

Mo Bai's beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes remained closed, and her face was filled with displeasure at being forcibly dragged away from her sweet dream.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed the source of the disturbance, answering the call without even looking at it. He held the phone to his ear, his voice heavy with sleepiness and annoyance at being disturbed.

"Hello...?" he mumbled. "Who is it...?"

The voice from the other end of the phone instantly dispelled all his sleepiness.

Xiaowen's voice lost its usual calmness, sounding like a taut string, filled with unprecedented anxiety.

"Still sleeping! Little Ban is almost possessed by Abedo!"

"What?!" Mo Bai was jolted up from the bed as if struck by a high-voltage current.

He rubbed his dry, stinging eyes hard, his heart pounding in his chest. His voice was distorted with shock and just waking up. "What happened?! What's wrong with her?" Every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

"She just transformed... I don't know what happened, she suddenly lost control," Xiaowen spoke rapidly, with seemingly chaotic sounds in the background.

"Kevin finally managed to subdue her temporarily, hurry up! I'll send you the address!"

"Okay! I'm coming right now! Immediately!" Mo Bai's voice was firm and decisive, with no trace of sleepiness left.

He sprang from the bed like a cannonball.

He threw on his coat haphazardly, without even bothering to button it up.

He rushed to the window and yanked it open with a loud "whoosh".

The cool morning air, mixed with dust, rushed towards me.

Without hesitation, he raised his left hand, slapped the watch face, and transformed into a ray.

Without pausing for a moment, his massive wing membrane suddenly flapped, creating a powerful airflow. Like a red arrow released from a bow, he instantly broke through the window frame, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the city's gray-blue sky, speeding towards the location sent by Xiaowen.

The destination was a remote, unfinished construction site.

The steel frame was exposed to the sky, and scattered building materials and yellow construction machinery cast long shadows in the morning light.

Mo Bai's sharp gaze instantly locked onto the chilling scene in the center of the construction site—a massive yellow excavator, on which a colossal Ultimate Power Tyrannosaurus Rex was tightly bound by several thick chains gleaming with metallic luster.

The behemoth-like body struggled and writhed in vain within its restraints, emitting a sickening metallic scraping sound and a low roar.

Mo Bai's heart sank suddenly.

He quickly descended and landed not far from Xiaowen and Kevin.

A flash of red light, and he transformed back into his human form. He ran quickly toward the two of them, his gaze fixed on the struggling Ultimate Divine Power Tyrannosaurus, his voice tense.

"What's the situation now?"

“I used the Fall Asleep Spell to temporarily knock her out,” Xiaowen replied.

She pointed to the Ultimate Divine Tyrannosaurus, which had temporarily quieted down, "but I don't know how long it can last; she might wake up soon."

Kevin, standing next to Xiaowen, wiped the dust off his face, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

"So what should we do now? Find her a psychologist?"

Mo Bai walked to the excavator, looked up at the massive body that had fallen into a deep sleep, frowned, and slowly shook his head.

"It's not a psychological problem." His gaze fell on the enormous, now particularly glaring, Ultimatrix on the chest of the ultimate divine power Tyrannosaurus Rex, his voice low and resolute, "It's a problem with the Ultimatrix."

As if to prove his words—

A deafening roar, filled with pain and rage, suddenly exploded.

The Ultimate Divine Power Tyrannosaurus suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, and its pupils were no longer the familiar green, but filled with chaotic and violent blood red.

Its muscles were bulging, and the metal chains binding it groaned under the strain.

The tough metal chains snapped like fragile hemp ropes, and the ultimate divine power Tyrannosaurus broke free of its restraints, its massive body standing up with a roar.

It roared even more shrilly and painfully to the sky, making the surrounding scaffolding vibrate.

Mo Bai, Xiao Wen, and Kevin were forced to retreat repeatedly by this violent aura.

The ultimate divine power Tyrannosaurus pressed its two enormous hands firmly against its massive head, as if trying to dig something out of it.

It roared in agony, its voice like that of a wounded prehistoric beast, filled with indescribable torment.

"My head! It hurts so much! It hurts so much—!!!"

"Why won't you go out! Why won't you leave me alone—!!!" The target of this roar seemed not to be the outside world, but something within its own body!

With this desperate roar, the massive body of the Ultimate God Power Tyrannosaurus suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, its entire body erupted with a blindingly intense light! The light, like the core of a runaway star, instantly engulfed its enormous form.

The three of them instinctively raised their arms to shield their eyes!

The intense light lasted for several seconds before receding abruptly like a tide.

The massive body of the Ultimate Divine Power Tyrannosaurus disappeared on the spot.

Only a solitary Ultimatrix, devoid of all its luster and resembling ordinary scrap metal, fell with a clatter onto the cold, hard sheet metal, rolled a few times, and came to rest at Mo Bai's feet.

Dead silence.

The wind at the construction site whipped up dust, making a mournful sound.

Mo Bai's heart skipped a beat.

He almost stumbled forward, bent down tremblingly, and carefully picked up the cold Ultimatrix from the ground.

Xiaowen and Kevin immediately surrounded her, their three eyes fixed on the dull Ultimatrix in Mo Bai's hand.

Kevin swallowed hard, his voice dry and filled with disbelief.

"She...she's already dead?" The thought sent a chill down his spine.

Mo Bai and Xiao Wen glared at him almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with warning and anxiety.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mo Bai's voice was filled with suppressed anger and fear. He clutched the cold Ultimatrix tightly, as if it were the only clue.

He turned sharply to Xiaowen, his voice urgent and full of hope.

"Xiaowen, quickly sense where she is! We must find her!"

Xiaowen immediately closed her eyes, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and purple celestial energy rippled from her body like water, carrying a powerful spiritual perception, attempting to penetrate the barrier of the material world and trace the life energy of Xiaoban.

A few seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes, her green pupils filled with shock and disbelief.

“She…she’s inside, and…” Xiaowen pointed to the Ultimatrix in Mo Bai’s hand.

"What else?" Kevin pressed, noticing a deeper worry in Xiaowen's expression.

Xiaowen's expression grew even more serious. Her senses penetrated deeper into that cold electronic space, capturing even more unsettling information.

"Something... is following her inside! Not just one! Many..."

Meanwhile, in that cold, eerie virtual space composed of pure data streams.

Xiao Ban suddenly opened his eyes.

She found herself lying on a smooth, eerie green "ground".

Above them was an equally boundless and oppressive green "sky".

All around, countless enormous square "pillars" made of flowing green data code rose from the ground and pierced the "clouds," forming a huge and empty maze.

"This dream... is so bizarre..." Xiao Ban muttered under his breath, rubbing his throbbing temples, as he struggled to get up from the ground.

She looked around and saw nothing but flowing green light and data columns; the silence was terrifying.

A strong sense of unreality enveloped her.

She instinctively reached out and pinched her arm hard.

"Hiss—!" A sharp pain jolted her awake instantly! "It's not a dream..." Her heart sank, and a chill crept up her spine.

"Mo Bai—! Xiao Wen—! Kevin—?!" She shouted with all her might at the empty surroundings, her voice echoing in the eerie data space, carrying a distinct resonance, "Hello—?! Is anyone there—?!"

The only response she received was deathly silence and a flowing green halo.

Fear, like cold vines, began to coil around her heart.

We can't sit still and wait for death!

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, chose a direction, and carefully took her first steps.

Exploring the unknown is always better than being swallowed by fear while standing still.

Meanwhile, on the construction site in the real world, Mo Bai sat on the cold tracks of an excavator, his hands tightly gripping the dull Ultimatrix, his knuckles white from the force.

His gaze was fixed on it, filled with anxiety and worry.

Just then, deep within that green data space.

The little boy was moving forward cautiously.

Suddenly, she noticed a huge, gaping hole in the ground not far ahead, like a wound.

An ominous, dark red light, like congealed blood, flickered at the edge of the cave entrance, and a chilling malice and a cold suction force emanated from it.

"If I die now..." Little Ban instinctively felt an extreme sense of danger, her scalp tingling. "Then I'd better not go near there..." she muttered to herself, immediately turning around, wanting to get away from that eerie red hole.

However, the instant she turned around—

The entire green "ground" began to shake violently without warning! It was as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.

Caught off guard, the little boy screamed as his body was thrown up and then crashed heavily onto the smooth "floor"!

"Oh! Ugh!" she grimaced in pain, unable to hold back her complaints, "Even this godforsaken place can have a major earthquake?!"

Before the words were even finished, something even more terrifying happened!

Suddenly, a teeth-grinding cracking sound came from the "ground" not far behind her!

Immediately afterwards, the ultimate little Bobo, like a mechanical behemoth bursting from the ground, slowly rose from the crack!

But this is just the beginning!

It's like opening Pandora's box!

Under the terrified gaze of the little girl, one terrifying crack after another was forcibly torn open on the green "ground" around her.

Cold, powerful figures exuding an aura of destruction emerged one after another.

Ultimate Ice Ghost, Ultimate Swamp Fire, Ultimate Four-Armed Overlord, Ultimate Spider Monkey, and Ultimate Thunderclap emerged one after another from the floor.

And the ultimate divine power Tyrannosaurus Rex...

These ultimate forms, which she once controlled and represented immense power, now surrounded her like avengers crawling out of hell.

Their cold, inorganic gazes all focused on her tiny body, filled with chilling killing intent.

The ultimate power Tyrannosaurus Rex strode heavily to the spot closest to Ben, its massive head lowered, and its scarlet electronic eyes looked down at Ben, who lay on the ground, his face pale.

Its emotionless sound, produced by the friction of synthetic metals, echoed like a death knell in the deathly green space.

"You're not dead yet."

"Not yet!" The last two words struck Xiao Ban's heart like a heavy hammer, announcing the start of the hunt.
