Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

Hearing Kevin's words, Mo Bai turned her head, subconsciously waved her hand, and refused, her tone still carrying the confidence she had gained from resisting control just now: "No need, he couldn't control me just now..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a familiar gaze, filled with intense "concern," fixed firmly on him.

He quickly lowered his head slightly and, sure enough, saw that Xiao Ban was staring at him without moving...

“(Staring…)” That gaze was silent, yet filled with undeniable persistence and worry.

Seeing this, Mo Bai had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

He sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he obediently reached out and took the other freshly made little helmet from Kevin, and put it on his head obediently.

George, standing to the side, said that such protection was completely unnecessary. He confidently gripped the sword Azmith in his hand, believing that the divine light emanating from the sword itself was the best protection.

“When the Great Steel arrives, you will be the first to perish!” Mojath coldly poured cold water on the situation from the side, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

Upon hearing Mojath's words, everyone turned around in unison, their gazes sharp as they looked at him.

Now, he is the only "enemy" who might know the inside story.

Xiao Ban spoke first, his tone resolute: "Then you tell us how to stop all of that from happening and turn everyone back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kevin immediately stepped forward and added menacingly, trying to put pressure on her: "Say it now! Don't force me to call you my Anno alien girlfriend and I'll beat you up!" As he spoke, he turned to the side and gestured to Xiaowen beside him.

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Xiaowen readily raised both hands, and the dazzling purple celestial energy once again condensed in her palms, emitting a dangerous buzzing sound.

She stared at Mojath and repeated in an icy tone, "Speak."

Seeing this, Mojas showed no sign of panic.

Far from backing down under the pressure from the crowd, he suddenly raised his head and, facing the seemingly omnipresent massive steel behind the sealed crack, shouted at the top of his lungs in an almost pleading tone:

"Master, grant me even greater power!"

The sound echoed in the empty cave, carrying a hint of urgency and longing.

However, time passed second by second... The only things left in the air were the embers of the battle and the tense breathing of everyone.

Silence followed the crack; the steel offered no response, as if it had completely ignored his humble request.

The scene fell into an extremely awkward silence.

Even the little boy blinked, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Hey, looks like you'll have to rely on yourself!"

As soon as she finished speaking——

Boom, boom! ! !

A deep and powerful engine roar came from above without warning, growing louder as it approached!

The sound grew louder and louder, as if some enormous creature was forcibly breaking through the rock strata!

Mojath seemed to have anticipated this, a slight, barely suppressed smirk playing on his lips as he replied in a low voice, his tone brimming with a hint of shrewdness: "Not necessarily..."

Soon, to everyone's astonishment, a roughly designed spaceship, clearly intended for transportation, crashed through the rock strata at the top of the cave!

Countless pebbles fell like raindrops, and amidst the billowing dust, the spaceship landed aggressively on an open ground not far from the group, the blast from its engines making it almost impossible for anyone to stand.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Mojath's eyes!

Without hesitation, taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the spaceship, he raised his hand and hurled several purple orbs of light, each brimming with terrifying energy, toward the direction where Xiao Ban and the others were!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosions of the orbs were not intended to cause much damage, but rather to create a large amount of dense smoke and dust, instantly obscuring the vision of both sides!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mojath suddenly exerted force with his legs, making an extremely long leap, and landed as accurately as a cannonball in front of the transport ship that had just come to a stop.

Almost simultaneously, the cargo ship's hatch slid open with a hiss, and Mojath's loyal henchman, Severn, strode out and stood respectfully beside Mojath.

“You’re really good at stalling, Psiphon.” Mojath’s tone was cold, with obvious dissatisfaction.

Hearing Mojas's rebuke, Psiphon quickly raised his head and cautiously replied, trying to explain, "Everything you requested took longer than expected..." He paused, seemingly wanting to take credit or apologize, "Master, I..."

Before Psiphon could finish speaking, Mojas impatiently interrupted him, only concerned with the outcome: "Stop rambling! Where's my stuff?" His gaze was intense and urgent.

Upon hearing this, Psiphon was about to turn around and go back to the transport ship to retrieve the important item—

"Wait a minute," Mojath suddenly called out to him again.

His sharp gaze pierced through the dissipating smoke and dust, looking ahead.

From the smoke and dust, five figures emerged clearly, standing side by side, forming a solid barrier!

Mo Bai, Xiao Ban, Xiao Wen, Kevin, and George—the five of them had just gone through a fierce battle, and some of them were even injured, but at this moment their eyes were incredibly firm, and their momentum was so strong that it gave off a chilling sense of oppression!

Immortals gather together

However, at this tense moment when the two sides were locked in a standoff and on the verge of conflict—

Rumble...! ! !

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently without warning!

It felt as if a giant heart was beating deep underground!

At the same time, the golden light emanating from the crack in the seal became brighter than ever before!

The light was so intense that it seemed to melt the entire cave and even the entire sky!

"Finally..." Da Gang's voice came from the seal again, but this time, his voice was no longer hollow and distant, but became incredibly clear and loud, full of a substantial sense of oppression!

Clearly, the moment for him to break through the seal has arrived!

Hearing Big Steel's words, which sounded like a declaration of victory, George showed no fear.

He raised an arm, barely shielding himself from the blinding golden light, and shouted back with all his might towards the crack, his voice strong and clear, announcing the end of a thousand-year wait.

"Indeed! A massive steel structure!"

"The time for battle has come!" He raised his divine sword high, the blade humming as if responding to its master's fighting spirit.

"The Eternal Warriors have waited a full millennium for this moment!"

As if in response to his battle cry, the massive sealing compass let out a final, groan of unbearable strain—

The next second, to everyone's astonishment, the enormous seal that carried ancient power and imprisoned the Great Steel for countless years completely collapsed!

It didn't explode; instead, like a sandcastle weathered over millions of years, it silently turned into dust and scattered into the air.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on the place where the seal had been.

However... there was nothing there.

Apart from scattered powder and residual traces of energy, there was nothing.

There was no terrifying behemoth breaking free of its seal as imagined, nor any earth-shattering energy eruption.

"There's nothing inside?" Mojas was the first to voice his doubt, as this was completely different from what he had expected.

Upon hearing Mojath's words, Ben couldn't help but look around and instinctively asked, his voice filled with confusion, "Where is he?"

However, the next second——

"Hahaha--!"

A deep and majestic laugh, seemingly coming from the heavens yet also close at hand, suddenly exploded above everyone's heads!

That laughter contained supreme authority and a cold indifference to everything!

"Where am I?"

Upon hearing this sound so close yet elusive, both Mojas and Sylph felt a profound sense of foreboding.

They could no longer care about Tian Xiaoban and the others in front of them, and immediately turned around and ran out of the cave as fast as they could!

They rushed out of the cave and eagerly looked up—

The sight that came into view caused even a well-traveled cosmic overlord like Mojas to have his pupils dilate instantly, his face filled with disbelief and horror!

Above the Earth, there floated a colossal entity that defied description!

Its size... was as large as a small planet! Its shape was vaguely discernible as an enormous, eerie green octopus-like creature!

Countless massive tentacles, like star rings, slowly wriggled and coiled in near-Earth orbit.

What's most unsettling is that enormous eye, like two burning blood-red stars, is staring intently and indifferently at Mojath and Sylph below, who are like dust to him!

"I am omnipresent." Da Gang's voice boomed like the laws of the universe, proclaiming his existence.

At this moment, Mo Bai, Xiao Ban, Xiao Wen, Kevin, and George also rushed out of the cave.

When they looked up and saw the terrifying presence that covered half the sky, cast shadows that even enveloped half the earth, everyone's face showed an expression of extreme shock!

Even Mo Bai, despite having fragmented and vague memories from another version of herself, was strongly shocked by what she saw.

In his hazy fragments of memory, the Steel Giant seemed to be only slightly larger than the dragons of Western legends...

"It seems his size... can be as big as he wants..." Mo Bai muttered to herself, quickly accepting this fact.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that for an entity of the caliber of Dagang, controlling the size of its own form is a natural ability.

"I am the Great Steel, submit to my divine might!" The planet-sized behemoth issued its final declaration, its voice booming like a bell, shaking people's hearts and minds.

Upon hearing Big Steel's contemptuous command, George was the first to react.

Without any fear, he strode forward, sword in hand, and stood resolutely at the very front of the group!

He raised the divine sword high above his head, its tip pointing directly at the enormous shadow in the sky, and roared a challenge with all his might.

"bring it on!"

With that, he swung his arm violently! The divine sword drew three mysterious and sharp trajectories in the air!

With his movement, three incredibly refined and dazzling pure white sword energies, like streaks of light tearing through the sky, instantly detached from the sword and soared into the sky at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, precisely striking the massive body of the steel giant!

"laugh--!"

As the sword energy swept across, it actually left three extremely conspicuous, huge white scars, several kilometers long, on the surface of the giant steel's planet-sized body!

Big Steel seemed to be in pain, letting out two muffled roars that swept over like an interstellar storm.

He slowly lowered his head, his blood-moon-like giant eyes focusing on George, who was as small as an ant on the ground yet dared to hurt him, and spoke his assessment, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Unimportant waste."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a devastating scene unfolded—the three enormous, seemingly severe scars faded and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original state in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed!

"Mojath," the mighty voice of the Great Steel rang out again, issuing the order as if it were merely instructing a servant to swat a fly, "Destroy him now!"

However, several seconds passed...and the scene remained silent. Mojath made no move.

Da Gang seemed somewhat surprised and spoke again, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of doubt: "Mojath?"

Seeing that Mojath seemed to have already sensed the danger and had taken advantage of the chaos to make a quick getaway, George seized the opportunity and looked up at Big Steel with a mocking tone, his voice carrying far through the power of the divine sword.

"As always, your vanguard was the first to predict the outcome of the great battle!" His words were sharp as knives.

"You! Have been defeated!"

He has decided to abandon you!

Hearing George's sarcasm, Big Steel did not get angry. Instead, he let out a low laugh, as if mocking their naivety.

“Foolish,” his voice boomed, “my victory is not limited to Mojath.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!

The air around George distorted, and a large number of Steel Cultists emerged instantly!

They seemed to emerge from the ground, surrounding George in a dense, overwhelming manner!

Even more terrifying, several believers teleported directly to his arm, their hands gripping his arm and the blade of the divine sword like iron clamps, frantically trying to snatch it away!

Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone this kind of sudden attack and bizarre teleportation ability!

George was tightly entangled for a moment, struggling with great strength and fighting skills, but he could not break free immediately!

Seeing this critical situation, Kevin's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned to Xiaowen beside him and said urgently, "Where is my New Heavenly Guild's big gun?" He needed stronger firepower support.

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Xiaowen immediately understood.

She concentrated, and with a flash of purple energy in her hands, as if by magic, she produced a large laser gun with a futuristic design and formidable power from seemingly nowhere. She handed it to Kevin, while habitually muttering, "I swear, one day you'll lose your head too." She was always worried about his forgetfulness.
