please call me the magenta devil

"Blade On Big Bang!"

Zero Three unleashed the Zaia Slash Enhancer with his right hand, pressing his advantage and thrusting straight at Shan Yi's face.

He dodged to the side in good faith, and then they went back and forth, each slashing the other's hand and punching him, the exchange was extremely intense.

Goodwill regained its fighting rhythm. After blocking Zero's right wrist as he swung his blade with its right hand, it twisted its backhand and punched Zero with its left hand, knocking the ZAIA Slash Riser out of Zero's hand. Then, it delivered a right hook punch to Zero's face.

The punch was powerful and heavy, causing Ling San to stagger back several steps.

Zero Three launched a lightning-fast counterattack, but his two jabs were blocked by Goodwill. Goodwill then took advantage of the situation and raised his right foot to deliver a side kick, forcing Zero Three back.

"Blade On Big Bang!"

Ling San, with his back to Shan Yi, half-squatted on the ground and quickly printed out the document box for Wang Jian.

Ling San turned around and used the document box sword, which was not yet unfolded and was in the form of a document box, to block the punch that Shan Yi was about to throw. He then parried Shan Yi's punches and kicks one after another.

Seizing the opening, Ling San unleashed the sharp blade of the document box sword with his left hand and slashed across Shan Yi's chest with a powerful strike, forcing Shan Yi back.

"Blade On Big Bang!"

Zero Three needs to intensify its offensive, push Zero Three's upgrade key again, print out the program-upgraded Locust Sword, and combine it with the Document Box King Sword in its left hand.

"Docking Rise!"

Ling San gently stroked the blade with his left hand, then charged toward Shan Yi with the sword in hand.

Ling San raised his hand and delivered a smashing slash, then twisted the blade and used the other end to slash out a crescent-shaped yellow-green sword aura that almost grazed Shan Yi's cheek.

Despite dodging left and right, Goodwill still couldn't dodge Zero Three's double blades. The combined attack of the Document Box King Sword and the Prototype Ascended Locust Sword left Goodwill temporarily overwhelmed.

Helpless, Goodwill had no choice but to stop time and move to avoid Zero Three's powerful downward strike.

"How embarrassing... well, that's kind of you."

Lu Xingzhou looked at the video footage in his hand, clicked his tongue and shook his head.

He leaned against a pillar. If Lu Xingzhou were to become a paparazzi, he would definitely be the kind who gets beaten up by bodyguards every day.

"That kindness... was powerful. But even with such power, it was used for something like this by the Justice Kamen Rider. Am I really the one who will transform, Riku-kun?"

As sunlight streamed through the shop window, a figure stood there. The camel-colored trench coat, like old paper weathered by time, had crisp shoulders marred by fine wrinkles that rose and fell gently with each breath—as if concealing a stagnant period of time. The wide-brimmed camel-colored felt hat was pulled low, its brim cutting through the dim yellow light of the streetlights, burying half her face in shadow, leaving only the black hair at the nape of her neck, like a blob of unmelted ink, clinging to the edge of her collar.

The man adjusted his camel-colored wide-brimmed felt hat, revealing a face that looked exactly like Yuto Sakurai's.

He is the evil Triggazbil (crossed out) Kamen Rider Kyosuke Kiriya (crossed out) Gao Red (crossed out).

Quack! He is Yuto Sakurai, the Kamen Rider Zero!
That's right, this is also Yuto Sakurai, but the Yuto Sakurai from the future timeline in the Den-O world.

"Without a doubt."

Lu Xingzhou glanced at Sakurai Yuto, whose facial expression was gradually losing control, and uttered the sound of a cat.

"So you didn't ask me to come over just to catch up, did you?"

Sakurai Yuuto turned his head helplessly to look at Lu Xingzhou, who was still focused on recording. How did Yena end up with such a fool?
"Even though it's a different timeline of you, it's still you. Father-in-law, you won't just sit idly by, will you? It's better to correct the wrong path yourself."

Lu Xingzhou waved his hand jokingly.

"You bastard... and don't you dare call me father-in-law! It feels so weird... aren't we friends first?"

Yuto Sakurai finally understood that his old friend and son-in-law just wanted to see him fight his own ghost.
Yuuto Sakurai was aware of this guy's perverse sense of humor. He had seen many such scenes of "fighting oneself" in Lu Xingzhou's videotape, and Yuuto Sakurai suspected that this guy wanted to add himself to the scene.

Although Yuto Sakurai was happy that Yena married Lu Xingzhou, he preferred Lu Xingzhou to be his friend, and he really couldn't stand the term "father-in-law".

"I emphasized the 'father-in-law' identity to tell you, Yuuto. You can't just watch me or Yena fight against your counterpart from another timeline, can you? A son-in-law or daughter beating up his father-in-law or father, do you think that's reasonable? You don't want to put Yena and me in a difficult position, do you, father-in-law?"

Lu Xingzhou shrugged helplessly.

It's not difficult to do; I've done it before.

Yuto Sakurai's eye twitched. Why did that last sentence sound so strange? It felt like he'd heard it somewhere before.
"you win."

Yuto Sakurai rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

Just as Lu Xingzhou and Future Sakurai Yuto were talking, the battle between Goodwill and Zero-Three had reached its climax.

After repeatedly using time stop to dodge Zero-Three's key attacks, Goodwill decided to retaliate.

With good intentions, he pulled out the Perfect Insect Instrument (Hundred Insect Sword).

"All Zecter Combine!"

"Hyper Clock Up!"

Goodwill enters into Super-Time, then activates the Perfect Insect Device to unleash a Maximum Hyper Cyclone. In the instant before Zero-Three can react, a terrifying red tornado-shaped super energy wave blasts Zero-Three away. Zero-Three accelerates like a cannonball fired from a battleship, instantly piercing through several buildings, and the hole created by Zero-Three's body is quickly expanded by the red tornado.

Beneath the path of goodwill lies a terrifying ravine that stretches all the way to the distant park before gradually disappearing, followed by a gaping hole in the trees and buildings that rises and vanishes completely.

It must be said that Goodwill is quite clever, living up to its title of super artificial intelligence.

It clearly understood that with Zero Three's astonishing computing power and the pre-cast animation when using the Perfect Insect Instrument (Hundred Insect Sword), Zero Three could easily evade countermeasures.

Using this move with the "Beyond Time-of-Flight" technique is equivalent to a frame-drop attack. Even if Zero-Three can react with zero frames, it will be useless, meaning it's guaranteed to hit.

After being hit by a Limit Break Tornado, Zero-Three crashed miserably to the ground.

Although he was injured, he was not seriously hurt, and no sparks came out of his body.

The Third Technological Singularity is indeed a qualitative change. If it were a Kamen Rider Zero-Two or Ark-Rider from the same series, they would not have been able to withstand this attack so easily. At the very least, they would have had to immediately cancel their transformation and close their eyes.

Goodwill stopped and hurried to Zero Three. He grabbed Zero Three by the neck with his left hand and slowly lifted him up.

"Justice Punishment!"

With a gentle push of his benevolent right hand, he raised his fist, and a surge of blue energy gathered on it.

But just as Goodwill was about to take action, it keenly sensed something pressing against its drive.

"Blade On Big Bang!"

Looking down, he discovered that the thousand hijackers that Zero Three had just printed were pinned to his drive, and a large amount of data and energy were being sucked into them.

"Jack Rise!"

After absorbing a large amount of data and energy, the surging blue energy on the fist of goodwill collapsed and dissipated, causing it to stagger painfully as it released Zero Three and retreated.

"Jacking Break!"

Zero Three waved his hand, wielding a thousand hostages to thwart any goodwill.

"What will defeat you is not good or evil, but us who have reached the third technological singularity—Kamen Rider Zero-Three!"

"Jack Rise!"

Zero Three pressed the button on the Thousand Hijackers again, and three streams of energy—the black and red malicious text energy of Ark, the blue and white data energy of Zea, and the white and gold energy of goodwill—saturated the blades of the Thousand Hijackers.

"Jacking Break!"

Zero Three wielded a thousand hijackers, drawing a magnificent crescent moon. The crescent's sharp edge fell upon the heart of the benevolent one, so stunning that it seemed to obscure time and space.

"boom!"

The benevolent body exploded with a deafening roar, and brilliant fireworks expanded and spread.

Sakurai Yuuto, whose transformation had been undone by the attack, knelt on the ground, his eyes red as he stared intently at Zero-Three.

"Goodwill, the conclusion about you is that you have utterly failed."

Zero Three intends to step forward and retrieve the benevolent driver.

"Who is the true savior of the world? The truth will be revealed one day!"

He said this with goodwill but reluctance.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and landed between Zero Three and Goodwill.

“It seems that this planet has changed a lot while I was away.”

"who is it?"

Ling San looked at the figure that was faintly visible in the dust and asked a question.

The newcomer turned around, and it was none other than Kamen Rider Evol, who had transformed into Evol after changing into a new suit.

"That's why I say Earth is a very interesting planet."

Ebert did not answer Zero Three's question. Instead, he raised his hand and opened a miniature black hole, sucking himself and Goodwill into it before leaving the scene.

"Oh? Mr. E? He doesn't seem that strong..."

Having witnessed the whole thing, Lu Xingzhou had some impression of Ebert, who was wearing a new leather suit. His strength was a bit weaker than that of the Emotional Black Hole, and he seemed more like a copy.

"Let's go, didn't you say Ye Nai would cook today?"

Yuto Sakurai pulled down the brim of his camel-colored wide-brimmed felt hat and grabbed Lu Xingzhou with one hand as they left.
