Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

Seeing that the little boy was crying no matter what, and that he seemed to cry even more unrestrainedly and violently after waking up, Mo Bai couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but also filled with indescribable warmth and heartache.

He struggled to lift his still somewhat weak arm, gently patted her head, his eyes so tender they could melt water, and began to complain, his tone filled with the exhaustion of surviving a disaster and a hint of doting affection.

"OK OK……"

"He's not dead yet, is he?"

He paused, looking at her tear-streaked face, and asked with a mixture of amusement and heartache, "Why are you crying even harder now that you're awake?"

"You only shed a few tears just now..." he tried to ease the atmosphere with a lighthearted tone.

In fact, some people don't understand that when a person is extremely sad and fearful, they often either explode into anger or feel suffocated, unable to even shed tears, leaving only numb despair.

Once hope is seen and safety is confirmed, the taut string suddenly loosens, and all the emotions that have been forcibly suppressed surge out like a floodgate being opened, becoming completely uncontrollable.

Seeing this, Mo Bai did not hesitate at all, and directly reached out his arm to gently pull the still sobbing Xiao Ban into his arms.

His warm palms gently stroked the back of her head and her hair again and again, silently conveying comfort and strength.

He said nothing, just held her quietly, letting her cry freely in his arms, as if trying to wash away all her fear and grievances with her tears.

Xiao Ban felt a sharp stinging sensation in the tip of his nose, his eyes were hot and swollen, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably like broken pearls. His throat felt blocked, dry and painful, and each breath was accompanied by a sob and trembling.

A tight, painful feeling shot through her heart. Even though her rational mind knew that Mo Bai had woken up and was alright, the immense emotional turmoil of surviving such a disaster still prevented her from calming down immediately.

However, in this brief and precious moment of warmth, Kevin's urgent and panicked shout, like a cold alarm bell, suddenly shattered the relatively quiet atmosphere in the cave!

"Xiao Wen!"

Hearing Kevin's unusual and anxious shout, Xiao Ban, who had her face buried in Mo Bai's shoulder, sniffed hard, forced herself to stop crying, and looked up with some confusion, her eyes filled with tears as she looked behind Mo Bai.

Mo Bai immediately became alert and turned around in confusion, following the sound.

Kevin suddenly pulled up a blue sedan from somewhere, slammed on the brakes, and stopped a short distance from Xiao Ban and Mo Bai with a screeching sound.

Before the dust had even settled, Kevin had already impatiently flung open the car door, practically sticking half his body out, his face filled with unprecedented urgency and panic, and shouted at the two of them at the top of his lungs.

"Da Gang has taken control of Xiao Wen!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly striking their ears!

Before they could fully process this terrible news, the three of them simultaneously heard a slow, stiff footstep coming from the cave entrance.

Their hearts tightened simultaneously, and they all turned their heads in unison to look at the source of the sound—

They saw Xiaowen walking slowly towards them, step by step.

Her movements had lost their usual fluidity, appearing somewhat mechanical and stiff.

What's most chilling is that her eyes are now emitting a hollow and eerie green light, just like those of the Great Steel Followers!

Seeing this, Da Gang's malicious and smug voice also rumbled from the crack in the seal, as if he was admiring his masterpiece.

"My so-called vanguard refuses to use the powerful force I have bestowed upon them." He was clearly referring to Mojath's previous failure to break the seal quickly. "Fortunately, the most powerful creatures in your world are under my control." His tone was full of mocking schadenfreude.

Upon hearing Da Gang's shameless declaration, Mo Bai frowned, her face quickly replacing the weakness from just waking up with seriousness and anger.

He stared at the crack and replied coldly, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm: "So you couldn't control me, and when you failed to kill me, you got desperate and tried to control someone else?"

"Let her go!" Kevin roared furiously from the side, his fists clenched, wishing he could rush over immediately.

The younger students didn't give up either.

She forcefully wiped away the remaining tears on her face with the back of her hand. Although her voice was hoarse and weak from crying, she still tried her best to lift her head from Mo Bai's arms and shouted loudly in the direction of the seal: "You disgusting big steel, let go of Xiao Wen...!" That threat, which was tinged with sobs and tried to sound fierce, sounded even more fragile and heartbreaking.

Hearing Xiaoban's unusually hoarse voice, Kevin subconsciously glanced at her, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask her what was wrong.

But with Xiaowen in a very urgent situation, he immediately suppressed his doubts and focused all his attention back on Xiaowen, who was being controlled.

"Release my seal! Anno alien!" Ignoring the crowd's angry shouts, Daigang gave the final command directly to Xiaowen, who was being controlled and slowly walking forward.

Upon hearing the command, Xiaowen, who was being controlled, obediently stopped in front of the giant sealing compass.

A powerful purple light erupted from her body, revealing her Anno alien form. The intense energy fluctuations caused the air to tremble. A mechanical, twisted smile appeared on her lips as she replied, her voice hollow and submissive: "Easy, Master."

Then, completely controlled, Xiaowen didn't even look, but casually waved her hand at George, who was still fighting with Mojas, and several sharp-edged, high-speed spinning purple celestial energy discs shot out, launching an indiscriminate attack!

As George was focused on dealing with Mojath, alarm bells were ringing in his mind!

With his amazing combat intuition and experience accumulated over many years of battles, he suddenly turned around, his divine sword dancing like the wind, and narrowly deflected the deadly flying discs, sending them flying into the distant rock wall and blasting several deep craters.

Even so, the immense impact of the frisbee made his arms go numb, and he staggered backward several steps before barely managing to regain his balance.

Seeing this, Mo Bai was extremely anxious!

He immediately snapped a picture of the Ultimatrix watch face on his wrist!

A flash of red light, and he instantly transformed into a muscular, four-armed overlord, immediately shielding the little boy behind him.

However, as soon as he stepped forward, trying to get closer to Xiaowen, she seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. Without turning her head, she simply waved her hand again—this time, what burst out of her palm was not a frisbee, but several purple celestial energy balls condensed with terrifying energy!

Mo Bai had no time to dodge effectively and could only take the blow with his broad back!

"boom!"

The immense force of the explosion sent him flying, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

The little boy, who was being protected behind him, was also thrown backward by the violent blast wave from the explosion and almost fell over.

On the other side, Xiaowen seemed to "show mercy" to Kevin, and did not attack him directly. Instead, she used her mind to control the blue car that Kevin had just driven over, lifted it into the air, and then smashed it down in Kevin's direction!

Kevin was forced to retreat and dodge repeatedly, looking quite disheveled.

"The seal will be shattered, the Great Steel will rule the world, and the master will return." Xiao Wen's tone was calm and even as she proclaimed this before the seal, as if chanting a sutra. At the same time, she continuously bombarded the already crumbling seal with powerful celestial energy, producing deafening "bang bang bang" sounds.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ban suddenly stood up from the ground.

Her tears had long since dried up; now, only anxiety and determination remained in her eyes.

She glanced back worriedly at Mo Bai, who had just woken up, suffered another heavy blow, and was currently unable to get up due to severe dizziness.

However, before she could go forward to check on him, Mo Bai struggled to lift his head and shouted at her with all his might, his voice broken and intermittent with pain: "Go stop Xiao Wen first...!" He gasped for breath, "I'm fine...!"

Upon hearing Mo Bai's words, a hint of struggle flashed in Xiao Ban's eyes, but seeing that Xiao Wen was about to completely break the seal, she no longer hesitated.

She suddenly reached out and slapped the watch face off her wrist!

A green light flashed!

She transformed into a powerful tyrannosaurus rex, brimming with primal energy, and with heavy steps, rushed quickly behind Xiaowen.

She looked at that familiar figure, her voice still hoarse from crying, but she tried to soften it, attempting to awaken Xiaowen's consciousness: "Xiaowen, I don't want to hurt you..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ban's words, Xiao Wen, who was being controlled, let out a low, twisted, cold laugh. The laugh eerily mixed her own voice with Da Gang's hollow laughter, making it chilling.

Then, without even turning around completely, Xiaowen simply stretched out a hand casually towards the direction of the small class—

An invisible yet immense pressure, as heavy as a mountain, descended instantly!

Ben, in his Tyrannosaurus Rex form, felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his back. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, completely powerless to resist!

No matter how much she roared or struggled, she couldn't stand up under this terrifying mental oppression!

"Hurt me?" Xiaowen slowly turned around, looked down at Xiaoban kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but let out a cold, contemptuous snort.

Soon, under that immense pressure, even maintaining the transformation became extremely difficult for Ben.

She was forced to revert to her human form, reverting to her human appearance, and collapsed weakly to her knees, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Xiaowen (Dagang) seemed to think that she no longer posed a threat, so she simply ignored her, turned around, and continued to concentrate on breaking the seal.

Under her relentless attacks, the seal emitted increasingly dense sounds, and the cracks became more and more obvious.

Mojath, on the other hand, stood by with his arms crossed, observing coldly. He even spoke sarcastically, his tone carrying the dissatisfaction of being reprimanded by Big Steel earlier: "You're breaking so slowly." He was clearly still resentful and didn't think this controlled Earth hybrid could do any better than him.

However, just as the seal was about to completely collapse and was on the verge of breaking down!

Kevin seized an opening and suddenly rushed up from the side and behind, reaching out and grabbing Xiaowen's shoulder tightly!

The next second, Kevin focused all his attention and activated his special ability to absorb materials!

The metallic material covering his body, which he had absorbed from the Eternal Warrior Armor, began to flow rapidly as if it had come alive, spreading quickly from his arms to cover Xiaowen's entire body!

In the blink of an eye, Xiaowen was encased in a thick layer of metal armor, turning into an immobile "iron man"!

But that's not all! Kevin precisely controls the flow and shape of the metal!

A few seconds later, the metal covering her entire body quickly retracted and deformed, eventually coalescing into a small, exquisitely structured steel helmet that only covered her head!

The small steel helmet perfectly exposed her mouth, nose, and most of her cheeks, while tightly protecting the most important area—the brain—that might be invaded by the energy of the large steel helmet!

as predicted!

When Xiaowen raised her head again, the unsettling eerie green light in her eyes receded as quickly as the tide, restoring her clear, bright eyes.

The emptiness and fanaticism in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a brief moment of confusion, which quickly turned into shock and lingering fear upon regaining his senses.

Looking at Kevin, who was so close to her, his face full of anxiety and concern, she instantly understood what had happened. With a complicated tone, she said softly, "Kevin... I didn't expect you to do this..." She paused, her voice tinged with lingering fear, "You left yourself completely unguarded, and I might have hurt you..." Recalling the state she had been in while being controlled, she still felt lingering fear.

Upon hearing Xiaowen's words, Kevin's tense face finally broke into a relieved smile.

He smiled slightly, looking at her with a firm yet gentle gaze, and replied in a tone full of unquestionable trust: "You would never hurt me."

Their eyes met, and a silent exchange flowed between them, filled with the relief of surviving the ordeal and the deep trust between them.

They smiled at each other, and a warm and tacit atmosphere filled the air.

However, the beautiful atmosphere that had been so carefully created was abruptly interrupted by a loud "peng!" that came from the seal, as if glass had shattered completely!

The seal was eventually broken!

The furious and terrifying roar of the steel gushed forth from the crack as if it came from the deepest hell.

"You will soon face my wrath!"

Upon hearing Da Gang's threatening announcement, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They disregarded everything else and hurried forward to check the seal's condition.

At this moment, apart from Mojas, who was still standing by with his arms crossed, seemingly lost in thought, everyone else gathered in front of the broken seal, their expressions extremely solemn.

Kevin didn't forget to use his ability, quickly conjuring up another small steel helmet, which he casually placed on the head of the little boy next to him, providing complete protection.

“And you too.” Kevin turned to Mo Bai, who was a little further away and had just gotten up from the ground, and said, indicating that he wanted to make one for him as well.
