Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

After saying that, he tightly gripped the ancient divine sword in his hand, which was now emitting a faint light, and felt the power emanating from it.

Then, he took a deep breath, locked his gaze on the huge target in the sky, and began to run with all his might. His speed increased, and he shot towards the shadowy area below the steel structure like an arrow.

He roared, both to embolden himself and to announce his attack to the enemy.

"Big Steel! Behold my divine sword!"

The sudden shout and the small yet resolute charge caught the attention of the large steel in the air.

With a hint of impatience, he slightly turned his enormous eyeballs, not even bothering to adjust his posture, and casually shot out a scorching laser beam from his eyes, as if swatting a fly, attempting to completely evaporate the annoying little bug.

However, George did not back down.

He roared, gripped the divine sword tightly with both hands, aimed at the incoming beam of light, and swung it upwards with all his might!

Om-!

The collision between the blade of the divine sword and the energy beam produced an astonishing effect.

The laser beam was cleaved in two by the blade, splitting into two harmless energy streams that whistled past George's sides, blasting two craters into the ground behind him.

George broke through the smoke created by the dissipating energy, his charging speed undiminished, and continued his desperate charge towards the steel giant.

Not far away, Kevin and Xiaowen stood back to back, still fiercely battling the remaining Steel Cultists.

Kevin swung his iron fist, sending the charging believers flying with each strike.

Xiaowen manipulates the celestial energy to construct a solid barrier, creating an opportunity for Kevin while protecting the two of them.

Their battle was equally arduous, leaving them little time to care for others.

........

On the other side, cold black raindrops fell on his face, bringing a slight stinging sensation and waking Xiao Ban from his coma.

She let out a low groan, feeling as if her whole body had been run over, aching and weak.

She struggled to prop herself up with her arms, rubbing her still throbbing temples with her other hand, her vision still a little blurry.

However, her first thought was not about herself, but rather she immediately looked anxiously to the side.

Mo Bai lay not far from her, motionless, his face pale, his hair and clothes soaked by the rain, and he looked to be in bad shape.

"Mo Bai...Mo Bai..."

Her voice was hoarse and filled with worry.

She gritted her teeth, enduring her body's protests, and stood up unsteadily, each step feeling like walking on cotton.

She stumbled to Mo Bai's side, knelt down, and gently patted his cheek.

"Wake up... Mo Bai, wake up..."

Fortunately, a few seconds later, Mo Bai's eyelashes trembled a few times, followed by a violent cough, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

His eyes were somewhat unfocused and confused, but they quickly sharpened and focused on the anxious face of the little boy.

He tried to speak, but his voice was extremely weak and his breathing was unsteady.

The continuous fierce battles, mind control, and the corrosive effects of acid rain brought him extreme mental and physical exhaustion.

"Quick..." he gasped, grabbing Ben's arm with all his might, "Take me to George..."

He paused, gathering his strength, but his eyes revealed an undeniable urgency and determination.

"There's only one way left..."

Upon hearing Mo Bai's words and seeing the unusual urgency in his eyes, Xiao Ban immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

Without any hesitation, and disregarding her own exhaustion and pain, she nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

She immediately reached out and skillfully patted the watch face on her wrist.

The familiar light shone again, transforming into the ultimate super beast.

The ultimate super-powered beast she had transformed into lowered its head, looked at Mo Bai with its senses, and let out a low, suggestive whimper.

She carefully bent her forelegs to lower her body height, and then with her powerful front paws, very gently lifted Mo Bai up, helping him lie down on her broad back covered with thick fur.

"Hold on tight to me." Her deep voice came from the throat of her beast form.

Mo Bai nodded weakly, wrapped his arms around her neck as tightly as he could, and pressed his body against her warm back.

Once it was sure Mo Bai was firmly in place, Xiao Ban—now the super-powered beast—pushed off the ground with its four strong claws and shot out like an arrow.

In her beast form, she was far faster than a human, even more agile than in her giant form. She darted across the wrecked, pitted, and ruined ground, dodging obstacles and speeding toward the direction George had last been in her memory.

To be honest, the speed of four legs is truly astonishing.

In just a minute or two, she saw the familiar purple protective shield formed by the celestial energy ahead.

Inside the protective shield were Xiaowen and Kevin, who were struggling to hold on.

Seeing Xiao Ban carrying Mo Bai at high speed, Xiao Wen and Kevin finally felt much relieved.

Ever since they saw the two giants fall, they had been worried about their safety, fearing that something might have happened to them.

By this time, Kevin and Wen had almost wiped out the remaining Steel Cultists around them, leaving only a few scattered around George, who slashed them to the ground with his sword.

Xiao Ban rushed straight to the protective shield, carefully crouched down, and asked Kevin and Xiao Wen to help him get Mo Bai off his back.

Then, a flash of light appeared around her, and she returned to her human form. Her face was still pale, and her steps were a little unsteady, but she immediately forced herself to walk to Mo Bai's side.

Mo Bai, who had been resting on her back for a while, seemed to have improved a little; at least her breathing was no longer so rapid.

With the help of the younger boy, he managed to stand up.

Seeing the mixed expressions of concern and inquiry in Xiaowen and Kevin's gazes, Mo Bai shook her head slightly. Although her voice was still weak, it carried an undeniable determination.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm fine." He took a deep breath, his eyes darting anxiously around. "Where's George?"

Kevin raised his hand and pointed behind Mo Bai, his tone sounding somewhat casual.

"They're fighting to the death with Da Gang over there."

Upon hearing this, Mo Bai immediately turned around and looked in the direction Kevin was pointing.

Not far away, George stood alone on the empty battlefield, directly beneath the enormous, sky-obscuring steel structure.

He gripped the faintly glowing divine sword tightly with both hands, his body leaning slightly forward as he breathed heavily.

Clearly, the long hours of fighting alone, dodging attacks, and repeatedly trying to charge at that behemoth had left him nearly exhausted.

But he did not retreat. He stubbornly raised his head, staring at the enemy in the sky, searching for the next opportunity.

Just as George paused to catch his breath due to exhaustion, his old strength depleted and new strength yet to arise, Big Steel seized upon this fleeting opening.

His enormous eyeballs shifted slightly, and a deadly crimson laser beam condensed, shooting mercilessly toward George on the ground!

At the critical moment, the Ultimatrix watch on Mo Bai's wrist was slammed down!

With a flash of light, his form instantly changed, transforming him into Crystal Warrior.

Without the slightest hesitation, he moved with lightning speed, flying directly above George and using himself as a shield to take the brunt of the devastating laser beam!

The energy surged into his crystal body, but instead of causing damage, it was absorbed and transformed rapidly.

It was as if a rainbow was flowing inside his body, bursting out with incomparably dazzling seven-colored light, making him look like a crystal gem.

Without pausing for a moment, and without even glancing at George at his feet, Mo Bai unleashed the immense energy he had absorbed from his palm, unleashing a powerful rainbow cannon that combined his own and the opponent's energy to strike Da Gang!

"boom--!"

The massive steel body was struck hard, and thick black smoke mixed with sparks of dissipating energy exploded, clearly indicating that the blow caused him real pain.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was slowed down by the pain, Mo Bai quickly turned around and said urgently to George below.

"Is there any divine sword power left? If so, keep wielding it!"

George snapped out of his daze, suppressed his shock, gripped the divine sword again, and roared as he charged forward.

He swung his sword with all his might, and streaks of pure white, sharp sword energy shot out and struck Da Gang's wounded body one after another.

This attack, imbued with divine power, was far more effective than ordinary energy attacks; each strike caused the steel giant to let out a muffled roar of pain.

However, after enduring more than a dozen sword energies, the enraged Da Gang suddenly swung his thick and terrifying tentacles, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and fiercely whipped the floating Mo Bai away!

Mo Bai's crystal form dissipated in mid-air, transforming back into an Earthling, and crashed heavily onto the ground in front of Xiao Ban, Xiao Wen, and Kevin.

"Mo Bai!" Xiao Ban exclaimed, rushing forward to help Mo Bai, who was covered in dust and unable to move, to her feet.

Meanwhile, George continued to slash tirelessly, his sword flashing across the battlefield.

The giant steel seemed to be stung by the relentless attacks, its massive body rising a short distance, its voice filled with annoyance.

"No, we can't go on like this!"

Before the words were finished, thick, ominous dark red clouds appeared out of nowhere, centered on the large steel structure, and quickly spread out.

Within the clouds, crimson lightning darted about like a captive dragon, each flash casting an eerie crimson glow upon the heavens and earth.

"What kind of witchcraft is this? The clouds can't help you avoid my attacks!" George shouted, sword in hand, head held high, showing no sign of backing down.

Da Gang looked down at him, his voice booming, carrying a cold, declarative tone.

"Fear the lightning."

The next second, an incredibly thick and ferocious bolt of lightning, like a giant red dragon, tore through the sky and struck down with destructive force, hitting George on the ground with pinpoint accuracy!

The blinding red light instantly engulfed his figure.

The four people in the distance paled instantly, their hearts nearly stopping.

Mo Bai felt a chill run down his spine. He clearly sensed that the lightning was not natural and contained extremely evil and destructive energy.

Just then, a purer, more dazzling white light, seemingly capable of purifying all evil, suddenly burst forth from George, who was enveloped in red lightning. Like a shooting star moving against the current, it broke through the red lightning's restraints and soared into the sky!

The light was so intense that the four people couldn't look directly at it, and they instinctively closed their eyes or shielded their eyes with their hands.

The bright light gradually faded... They eagerly looked towards where George was.

George's medieval armor had vanished, and he had reverted to his aged appearance.

He stood stiffly in place, still holding his sword with both hands, his eyes closed, his chest still, like a frozen statue.

Immediately afterwards, the sword Azmith slipped from his limp fingers and pierced straight into the scorched earth with a clang.

Then, George's body slowly and heavily knelt down, his head, which had always been held high, finally drooped limply.

Finally, under the gaze of four pairs of incredulous and sorrowful eyes, his body began to dissipate from the edge, turning into countless shimmering dust particles that drifted with the wind, swept across the battlefield, floated towards the distant horizon, and scattered throughout the world he had protected for a thousand years.

silence.

Deathly silence.

After several seconds, Xiaowen slowly spoke.

"George... has died a heroic death..."

Xiao Ban bit his lip tightly, his voice low but firm, as he spoke a very solemn truth.

"We're on our own."

Mo Bai's gaze shifted from the spot where George had vanished. Before he could dwell on his grief, his eyes were fixed on the sword Azmith, still stuck in the ground, as if waiting for the next wielder.

In the air, Big Steel looked down at the spot where George had turned to ashes and let out a triumphant and cruel laugh: "This is what happens when you dare to defy Big Steel!"

However, before his laughter could subside, a chilling voice abruptly interrupted: "That's not necessarily true."

Mojas slowly emerged from nowhere, accompanied by a strangely shaped machine radiating ominous energy.

He looked up at the massive steel structure in the sky and declared ambitiously, "Once I destroy you, I will rule your universe!"

"Just like ruling this place!"

Big Steel seemed unsurprised by Morgas's appearance, his tone still carrying a condescending contempt: "I will destroy your weapons and then let you die in agony!"

Mojath crossed his arms over his chest, and the machine beside him hummed as the cannon slowly rose, aiming at the massive steel object in the air.

He responded with a cold laugh: "Come on if you dare."

Da Gang said no more, his eyes flashed red, and two thick laser beams shot straight at the machine!

“Foolish,” Mojath scoffed.

What happened next surprised everyone.

The laser beam hit the machine, but instead of exploding, it was greedily absorbed by the machine like water flowing into a sponge!

The energy of the large steel structure poured out uncontrollably and was frantically extracted by the machine!

"I can't stop!?" Da Gang's voice carried obvious surprise and panic for the first time.

Mojath had anticipated this outcome, and a sly grin spread across his face: "Of course."

"This machine isn't a weapon; it's an endless energy absorber."

"And you are an energy body."

As soon as he finished speaking, the massive body of the steel giant completely lost its physical form, transforming into a surging, blinding red energy stream, like a burst dam, howling as it was sucked into that terrifying machine!
