Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

Guided by the stone monster Ignatius and led by Avichai, the group trekked for a long time.

All around were still the monotonous, suffocating purple sky and the floating maze of giant rocks, seemingly endless.

Finally, the view opened up before us—a lake as calm as a giant mirror appeared in front of us.

The lake water had a strange pale purple hue, reflecting the eternal purple sky overhead.

Even more astonishing is that a small island, seemingly made of the purest crystal, floats in the center of the lake. Clear water flows continuously from the bottom of the island, pouring into the lake below like a miniature waterfall, making a soft and continuous "whoosh" sound, which seems especially precious in this silent world.

Xiaowen looked at the body of water, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She wasn't sure if common sense still applied in this magic quadrant.

She cautiously pointed with her index finger to the lake water rippling gently under the purple light, then turned to the silent stone figure for confirmation.

"This is water."

"right?"

Ignatius's massive rocky head nodded slowly, producing a low, grinding sound, its tone remaining completely calm:

"That's right"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xiaowen's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

She glanced at Aweisha, who was squatting obediently by the lake, dipping his hands into the water to drink—the two purple celestial energy handcuffs on his wrists, which Xiaowen had personally applied, were still flashing with the light of the restraining runes.

Only after confirming that he seemed to be doing nothing unusual did Xiaowen feel relieved and walk forward.

The long trek left her with dry lips and a parched throat, which were almost cracked.

She crouched down, carefully dipped her finger in the cool lake water, and gently applied it to her dry lips, feeling the long-lost moisture.

On the other side, Xiao Ban, Mo Bai, and Kevin did not rush to drink water. Instead, they huddled together and argued in hushed tones.

The discussion seemed to revolve around the philosophical question of whether "bad people can truly turn good," with each side holding its own opinion and neither able to convince the other.

Neither of them noticed that Awei Sha, who was squatting by the lake, had a pair of murky eyes that were flashing with resentment and cunning beneath his lowered head.

His lips moved rapidly and silently, reciting an extremely obscure incantation that was deliberately suppressed.

As the incantation continued, the seemingly indestructible purple celestial energy handcuffs on his wrists began to flicker like a faulty light bulb, their light dimming and dissipating at a visible speed! The restraints were being released.

Immediately afterwards, he plunged his hands even deeper into the lake, palms facing the small island in the center of the lake with the flowing waterfall, and burst out another rapid and powerful incantation!

"Crack-!"

A strange scene happened.

The waterfall flowing down from the island seems to have been given life.

It no longer fell vertically according to gravity, but like a giant python awakening, it began to twist, coil, and condense! The water flowed and danced in the air, rapidly growing stronger!

"What?!" Kevin was about to throw out his next argument to Ben when his voice abruptly stopped.

A massive, thick, and icy tentacle, made entirely of lake water, suddenly erupted from the lake's surface, like the tentacles of a predating octopus, and instantly wrapped around his waist.

A powerful force lifted him into the air.

Everyone looked up in horror and saw a gigantic, terrifying water monster formed from churning water.

It has no fixed shape, only several wildly dancing tentacles and a vague, vortex-like core at the center.

Just as they were stunned by the sudden attack, Ben and the Stone Monster keenly noticed a series of hurried, frantic footsteps coming from not far from the lake.

He turned his head sharply—and saw that the purple shackles on Aweisha's wrists had vanished without a trace.

He was desperately fleeing away from the lake, stumbling and staggering without looking back.

Clearly, summoning the water monster to buy time was part of his carefully planned escape strategy!

In that moment of distraction!

A dull, resounding crash, like a boulder striking the ground.

A giant water tentacle swept across like a battering ram, slamming hard into the massive body of the Ignatius Stone Golem.

The terrifying force sent the rock giant flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the hard stone wall not far behind it.

A heartbreaking sound of shattering rang out.

The stone monster's body, composed of countless jagged rocks, was actually split open at the point of impact, creating a shockingly huge crack that almost severed it in half.

Large and small stones tumbled down from the cracks.

Mo Bai caught a glimpse of the stone monster's miserable state out of the corner of her eye.

But the moment his gaze swept over it, the shadow beneath his feet instantly expanded.

A water tentacle, like a giant whip, was lashing down on his head with a whooshing sound!

In the face of life and death, Mo Bai's instincts, honed through long years of combat, came into play.

He suddenly exerted force with both legs, and his body lunged forward and to the side like an arrow released from a bow.

A clumsy yet extremely effective tactical roll narrowly avoided the water tentacles carrying immense force.

Water splashed everywhere, wetting his back.

He knelt on one knee to steady himself, and his right hand swiftly pressed onto the Ultimatrix watch face on his wrist.

Mo Bai's figure was instantly swallowed by the light, and in its place was a brand new alien hero - the Food King!

Without pausing, the gluttonous man plunged his enormous, hydraulically shovel-like jaws into the rocky ground beneath his feet.

The hard rock was easily scooped up like tofu, and the glutton opened his strangely structured mouth full of serrated mandibles and stuffed the huge rock in without hesitation.

"Crunch! Crunch!" The teeth-grinding sound of chewing rocks rang out! The hard rocks were easily crushed and swallowed in his mouth like biscuits!

The next second, the crimson energy horn on the top of the Food King's head suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.

A massive, crimson energy beam, brimming with destructive power, shot out like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth.

The beam of light tore through the air, carrying an aura of annihilation, and struck the floating island in the middle of the lake with perfect precision, which was constantly being fed water.

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and the beautiful island instantly disintegrated under the violent energy impact, turning into countless crystalline fragments that fell into the lake like purple hailstones.

The water source was completely cut off.

Deprived of its core energy supply, the enormous water monster let out a silent wail. The water that made up its body instantly lost its cohesion and collapsed like a torrent, disappearing back into the lake without a trace.

Xiaowen and Kevin, who were being held in mid-air by the tentacles, fell into the cold lake water with two "plop" sounds as the water monster disappeared, splashing up huge sprays of water.

Fortunately, the lake was not deep, and the two surfaced unharmed, except for being soaked.

Crisis resolved.

The Food King looked down at his hands, which were covered in black armor, then patted the dial on his chest. A flash of light appeared, and he reverted to his human form.

"Hmm... let's call him Foodie King." Xiao Ban watched Mo Bai return to normal, stroking his chin as if making a final confirmation for the name of the new alien hero.

Mo Bai, who had just reverted to her transformed state and was still a little dizzy, turned her head instinctively upon hearing the name, her face showing a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

"what?"

“Foodie (sb)?” he repeated, clearly taken aback by the subtly homophonous abbreviation.

Before the two could discuss the name in depth, Xiaowen's anxious shouts came from the lake.

"Ignatius!"

Only then did everyone remember the stone monster's injuries, and they quickly ran towards the stone wall.

The massive body of Ignatius leaned against the rock wall, the huge crack that almost split him in two shocking to behold. The rocks at the edge of the crack were irregularly jagged, and large and small stones were scattered all over the ground, resembling a collapsed mountain.

Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, the stone monster's sound, made of rocks rubbing together, slowly rose up, carrying a heartbreaking calm and lingering quality.

"Don't worry, I am an ancient species."

"The wound will heal in a few hours."

“We can’t wait a few hours,” Kevin interrupted urgently, wiping the lake water from his face.

Time was of the essence, and Awish could escape at any moment or cause even greater trouble.

“Kevin!” Xiaowen glared at him reproachfully; saying such a thing at this moment seemed too cold.

However, Ignatius slowly and laboriously turned its head, and the two faint points of white light looked at the group.

No, he's right.

"Go after Aweisha quickly!"

"Defeat him, defeat the usurper!"

"Save this world, and eliminate this threat forever!"

He spoke the last four words with unusual slowness and heaviness, each syllable like a boulder crashing down, filled with a resolute determination to entrust everything.

……

After bidding farewell to the heavily injured stone giant, the four of them followed Xiaowen's keen celestial senses and sped through the floating giant stone maze.

The purple celestial energy, like invisible threads, guided them to trace the energy trail left behind by Avichai's escape.

Soon, they arrived behind a relatively low, rocky mountain.

Xiaowen stopped, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed for a moment. When she opened them again, purple light swirled in her eyes.

"Aweiksha should be on the other side of this mountain."

"The celestial energy there is explosive, the energy is extremely strong!" Her tone was solemn, clearly sensing the extraordinary convergence of power.

The four of them crouched low silently, like leopards hunting, and carefully climbed to the top of the small hill, peering down.

The sight before them made them gasp.

Below was a vast, open plain.

In the center of the flat ground stood a bizarrely shaped, imposing giant mechanical device.

It resembles a twisted steel lighthouse, its entire body radiating an ominous dark purple metallic luster.

At the top of the device, a thick, towering purple beam of energy was shooting relentlessly and violently toward the unchanging purple sky, as if it were about to tear the sky apart.

The space around the beam of light was slightly distorted by the powerful energy.

And not far from this terrifying machine, Avichai's figure appeared.

Instead of fleeing in a disheveled manner, he straightened his back, faced the machine, and roared angrily with all his might.

"The usurper of my throne!"

"Mana Thief!"

"If you have the guts, come out and fight the great Avichai!"

His voice echoed across the empty plain, filled with resentment and defiance.

As if in response to his roar, a colossal creature slowly emerged from the shadow of the massive machine.

However, what made the four people's pupils shrink even more was that a figure stood proudly on top of that enormous thing.

She wore her signature dark magical attire, and her white hair moved without wind in the powerful energy field, like burning silver flames.

She lowered her head slightly, looking down at Avicha, who looked like an ant below, her beautiful face filled with cold impatience—this was the evil witch they were looking for!

"Who let the braggart go?" Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the roar of the energy beams, carrying a chilling edge.

Seeing the evil witch appear in this way, Avichai was even more enraged. He pointed at the figure high above and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Ignorant fools, now taste the power of me, Awei Sha!"

After shouting, he immediately put his hands together in front of his chest and began to chant a long and obscure incantation. Thick purple smoke began to emanate from his body, and powerful magical energy surged forth once again!

However, he couldn't even finish a third of the incantation.

The evil witch simply raised her slender finger indifferently and pointed it in the air towards Avichai!

Avicha's voice abruptly stopped.

He was suddenly lifted into the air as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed his throat!

The condensed purple smoke instantly dissipated, and the incantation was forcibly interrupted.

The evil witch looked down at Avichai, who was struggling in vain in the air, her eyes devoid of any emotion, only filled with a cold, predatory desire.

"I originally intended to slowly absorb your magical power over time."

Looks like I'll have to suck it all out now.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly clenched her fist in the air.

Avicha let out a shrill, distorted scream.

His whole body convulsed violently, and a visible, almost tangible torrent of purple energy, like a soul forcibly ripped out, surged wildly from his seven orifices and all parts of his body.

These life energies, containing Aweisha's lifelong cultivation, were forcibly guided and continuously poured into the energy beam at the top of the huge "magic energy absorber" below, like rivers flowing into the sea.

In just a few seconds, Avichai's screams completely disappeared.

He was like a rag doll drained of all life, his limbs limp and his head tilted to one side. He was carelessly tossed to the ground by the evil witch, motionless, his fate unknown.

After doing all this, the Witch of Curses acted as if she had merely disposed of a trivial piece of trash.

She slowly turned her head, her cold eyes, which seemed to pierce through the void, precisely locking onto the four people lurking on the distant hilltop.

Her voice rang out again, carrying absolute control and a hint of mockery.

"You guys had better come out here quickly so I can see you."

"Even the four of you can't stop me from absorbing the life energy of every living being in this quadrant!"

You'll never guess how this episode ends!
