Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

However, just as Ultimate Little Popo was about to launch a flying disc from his body, unleashing his pent-up rage on Morgas—

"Well--!"

A muffled groan of pain suddenly escaped his lips!

Without warning, an indescribable, excruciating pain, as if it were tearing my skull apart, suddenly struck!

The pain came so violently and suddenly, as if a red-hot iron rod had pierced deep into his brain!

Ultimate Little Bobo was unable to maintain its flight posture, let out a painful cry, and fell directly from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground.

The dial flickered erratically a few times before being forcibly deactivated.

He reverted to his human form, curled up, clutched his head tightly with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, and his face turned deathly pale. He felt as if the whole world was spinning wildly, and the intense pain almost made him lose consciousness.

"Mo Bai!"

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone!

The boy closest to him gasped in surprise and instinctively wanted to rush forward to check on him.

But would Mojath let this opportunity slip by?

He snorted coldly and waved his hand casually. A purple orb of light, imbued with destructive energy, shot out and struck the ground in the path of the small group with precision!

"Boom!" The explosion sent up countless rubble and dust, forcibly blocking the small group's path.

Mojath's hoarse, malicious voice then rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"I won't let you disrupt Master's plans, you surnamed Tian!"

His gaze swept over the tormented Mo Bai and the forced-back Xiao Ban, a cruel and satisfied smile spreading across his face.

Seeing this, Kevin, standing to the side, did not hesitate to raise the laser gun in his hand and fire at Mojas's hateful back!

A beam of intense energy sliced ​​through the air and struck its target with pinpoint accuracy!

However, at this moment, Mojas seemed completely absorbed in the fanatical mission of breaking the seal, and completely disregarded Kevin's attacks.

The laser beam, powerful enough to melt through steel plates, struck his pale green skin, yet it only produced a few insignificant sparks, not even enough to make him sway; it was truly "painless and unresponsive."

So Mojas completely ignored the harassment behind him and continued to pour all his attention and the terrifying energy given to him by the Great Steel into the ancient seal that had already developed cracks!

He swung his arms repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of purple orbs, each brimming with destructive power, that slammed into the massive compass seal like a machine gun, creating blinding ripples of energy as he attempted to shatter this final barrier.

Xiaowen anxiously observed the battle situation.

She noticed that despite Mojas's fierce attacks, the sealed compass was exceptionally resilient, seemingly lacking only the final crucial force to be completely broken.

At the same time, she also keenly noticed that Mojas's behavior was extremely abnormal at the moment, more like a puppet receiving and executing absolute orders, undoubtedly directly inheriting the will of Big Steel.

A thought flashed through her mind.

She immediately said urgently to Kevin beside her, "Let's go home and get the spellbook! See if there's a spell that can restore the seal!" This seemed to be the only hope that could turn the tide.

Fortunately, whether it was because Mojas hadn't fully used his power or because the seal itself was extremely sturdy, after all that effort, the seal only maintained the crack and didn't completely collapse.

Upon seeing this, Kevin immediately understood Xiaowen's intention.

The two exchanged a glance, and without further hesitation, taking advantage of the moment when Mojas was focused on breaking the seal and George was busy entangled with them, they immediately turned around and rushed out of the cave at top speed, speeding towards home to buy that precious time.

On the other hand, George knew he absolutely could not let Mojath succeed.

He raised his divine sword high and charged forward once again without hesitation, trying to stop Mojath's frenzied destruction of the seal.

As for Ben, she did not choose to help George fight against the powerful enemy.

When she saw Mo Bai suddenly collapse in pain, her heart clenched instantly.

She quickly deactivated her transformation, reverting to her human form. She rushed to Mo Bai's side, knelt on one knee, and anxiously leaned down, calling his name repeatedly in his ear.

"Mo Bai! Mo Bai! How are you? Can you hear me?"

Her voice was clearly panicked and tearful as she gently shook his shoulder.

However, no matter how she called out, Mo Bai kept her eyes tightly closed, her hands tightly covering her head, her teeth clenched, and her whole body curled up in a ball, as if she was enduring some kind of extreme pain from the depths of her soul, and she did not respond to the calls from the outside world.

In fact, deep within Mo Bai's consciousness at this moment, he couldn't hear Xiao Ban's anxious calls at all.

His entire world was filled with a low, malicious laugh—a laugh that seemed to echo directly in his brain, cold, evil, and with an arrogant sense of control, much like… Big Steel!

On the other side, it seemed as if to confirm Mo Bai's feelings.

From behind the crack in the seal came the ethereal yet oppressive voice of the Great Steel, directly addressing Mojas, who was still futilely attacking the seal. His tone was full of undisguised scolding and impatience.

"Useless trash!" The voice was like a cold whip lashing at the soul.

"The power I have given you is more than enough!" The implication was that the failure to break the seal quickly was entirely due to Mojas's incompetence.

Upon hearing Big Steel's rebuke, the once arrogant and domineering Mojas lowered his head like the most humble servant, his tone filled with fear and pleading: "Great master, this useless believer begs your forgiveness!"

Upon hearing Mojath's groveling pleas for mercy, the Great Steel behind the crack seemed to chuckle twice, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

He didn't pursue the matter further, instead saying in a tone of complete control, "It's alright, controlling him is only a matter of time." This "him" clearly refers to Mo Bai, who was in great pain.

Finally, he announced, his voice filled with unwavering certainty: "Victory will soon be mine!"

"No! Victory will only belong to the Eternal Warriors!" Just then, George suddenly stood up from a pile of rubble.

Although he looked disheveled, his eyes remained firm. He gripped the divine sword again, its tip pointing directly at Mojas standing before the seal, and made his declaration.

Seeing this, Mojas was finally drawn to the scene.

He slowly turned around, facing George's challenge, and replied disdainfully, "Don't fool yourself, old man!" With that, he casually threw another purple energy ball at George.

George did not back down. He swung his divine sword and accurately blocked the energy ball. The ball was sent flying and crashed into the rock wall next to him, exploding into a pile of rubble.

However, the high and mighty Steel seemed to pay no attention to George's little incident.

He was clearly more interested in Mo Bai, who was still kneeling on the ground, engaged in a struggle with him on a conscious level.

He was like a cold-blooded experimenter, "observing" with great interest, wanting to see how long this tiny resister could withstand the crushing force of his will.

"Mo Bai! Mo Bai!" Xiao Ban's voice was already tinged with tears as she tried in vain to wake him. "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me..." Her hand helplessly stroked his back, feeling his body trembling uncontrollably from the pain.

Perhaps her calls did have some effect, or perhaps it was a brief struggle of Mo Bai's own will—Mo Bai's eyes slowly opened a tiny crack.

But what shone in those pupils was not the usual clarity, but an ominous, eerie green light!

He used all his strength to squeeze out broken, almost illegible words from between his teeth: "Dagang...is controlling me..." Every word seemed to be stained with immense pain.

He took a deep breath and, with his last remaining consciousness, warned, "Quick... get away from me...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faint green light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

As if his last bit of strength had been drained, his body went limp, his consciousness sank completely into the boundless darkness, and he fainted in the outstretched arms of Xiao Ban.

In the last instant before his consciousness completely faded, his hazy perception seemed to capture Xiao Ban's tearful, desperate cries, still calling his name over and over.

He desperately wanted to respond, to tell her not to be afraid, but the endless darkness had already swallowed him up, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

.........

"Where is this..."

I don't know how much time passed; it felt like just a moment, yet also like eternity.

Mo Bai's consciousness slowly rose from the chaos, like a drowning person finally struggling to the surface.

He struggled to open his eyes.

What came into view was not the darkness and fighting in the cave that I had expected, but an unusually clear and blue sky.

The warm, yet not scorching sunlight gently fell on his cheeks, bringing a long-lost, almost unreal sense of peace.

This overly beautiful scene, however, set off alarm bells in Mo Bai's mind!

Startled, he sat bolt upright, and the first thing he blurted out was, "Little Class!"

However, when he eagerly looked around and saw the scenery around him, he was completely stunned.

There was no war, no Morgas, and no desperate companions around.

He was sitting on a soft, green grass, a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and unnamed wildflowers.

Not far away stood a towering tree, its branches and leaves lush and familiar to him—a tree where he had spent many peaceful moments.

The overwhelming sense of disorientation left him feeling disoriented.

"Am I... teleported to another quadrant by Mo Li?" This was the first thought that flashed through his mind as he tried to find a reasonable explanation for this bizarre scene.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously checked his body. Strangely, the excruciating pain that had almost torn his head apart, the exhaustion after the battle, and all the discomfort had completely disappeared!

His body felt so light it was almost weightless, and his condition was unbelievably good.

“Strange…” he muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, unable to comprehend what was happening before him.

Just as he was lost in deep confusion, a clear, familiar, yet absolutely impossible voice suddenly came from behind him, striking his mind like a bolt of lightning and instantly interrupting all his thoughts!

"Hey! What are you standing there for?!"

Upon hearing that incredibly familiar voice, Mo Bai's eyes widened in surprise, as if her heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

He turned around almost mechanically and slowly—

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dancing on that dazzling blond hair.

The girl stood there, hands on her hips, her face bearing the most lively expression he could remember, tilting her head slightly as she looked at him.

“Su… Zixuan…?” Mo Bai’s voice was dry and trembling, almost unable to believe her eyes.

This name, this figure, had long been buried deep in the most painful corner of his heart.

Hearing his incredulous call, the blonde girl, Su Zixuan, stepped forward. Seeing his dazed, ghost-like expression, she couldn't help but smile. Her smile still carried a hint of smugness and mischief as she spoke.

"What's wrong? Surprised, aren't you?" She even joked, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. "You didn't expect me to be able to use Edo Tensei, did you?"

Mo Bai simply watched her quietly, gazing at that once incredibly familiar smile that now only existed in her dreams.

A sudden, uncontrollable stinging sensation rose in my nose, my vision blurred rapidly, and my voice choked with emotion. With the last vestige of reason, I asked in a low voice.

"This is a dream...right..." He wished it were real, but he knew better than anyone that it was impossible.

Upon hearing Mo Bai's words, Su Zixuan's lively and expressive face instantly froze.

The sunlight seemed to have dimmed somewhat.

She paused for a long while before raising the corners of her mouth again, but the smile was filled with an indescribable bitterness and tenderness, and she replied softly, "I guess so."

Hearing this almost confirmed answer, Mo Bai looked at her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Longing, guilt, sadness, and a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

He remained silent for a long time, experiencing a fierce internal struggle.

Ultimately, concern for his real-world companions outweighed his desire to indulge in the illusion.

He opened his mouth slightly and asked with great difficulty.

“How… can I wake up…” His voice was hoarse. “They might be in danger now, I have to go back…” A sense of responsibility compelled him to leave, even though the people in front of him were the ones he wanted to see.

Hearing Mo Bai's words, Su Zixuan didn't seem very surprised, as if he had already expected him to make such a choice.

She didn't answer directly. Instead, she turned around, her back to him, and gazed into the distance. She replied calmly, but with a hint of barely perceptible disappointment, "Since you already know it's a dream, why did you ask me?"

"..." Mo Bai was speechless for a moment, unable to respond.

Yes, since it's a dream, whether he wakes up or not should be up to him.

Seeing that Mo Bai remained silent, Su Zixuan raised her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the sky of this dream, looking towards a distant place, and continued speaking, her voice so soft it was as if she were talking to herself.

"Actually, deep down you...really can't bear to part with it, right?"
