Kamen Rider from the ancient times

A gigantic enemy.

It's like a giant rake.

Using the RX Ridewatch to transform into his bio-form, Kamen Rider Barlckxs grew to tens of meters tall. He completely ignored the crowd in the plaza and the other Timekeepers, and his giant blue energy foot slammed heavily onto the ground!

"Boom!"

A deafening sonic boom erupted amidst the smoke and dust, causing the earth to tremble violently!
The massive energy shockwave spread outwards from the ground, shattering and scattering the surrounding stone slabs, and even sending the people around them flying.

Kamen Rider Barlckxs continued to stride forward, raising his massive foot to stomp on the positions of the three Kamen Riders.

However, due to Earth's gravity, his enormous size made his movements extremely slow.

Just then, his raised right foot seemed to be subjected to some kind of recoil force, and his entire massive body tilted backward uncontrollably. In order to quickly regain his balance, Kamen Rider Barlckxs had to stagger and land his right foot on the side.

"Oh!"

The square was dented by the massive object.

Kawahara withdrew his outstretched left hand, glanced at the massive Barlckxs above his head with a flicker in his eyes, and then spread his arms outwards, releasing a wave of energy.

slam-la-

A storm suddenly arose, and people scattered across the square were blown away.

After the timekeepers in their grey-green robes slid haphazardly across the square for a distance against the strong wind, they turned around and found that there was no one else around.

They looked at each other, then glanced at the dark, menacing figure not far away, and vaguely understood that this plan could no longer be completed.

"Alright, let's go all out!"

Kawahara stared at Kamen Rider Barlckxs.

ZiO and Decade exchanged a glance, nodded emphatically, and then assumed their respective knight kick stances.

Final AttackRide——

'De-De-De-Decade!'

shhhhh--

The familiar wall of Kamen Rider cards extended out from in front of Kamen Rider Decade, the power of twenty Heisei generation Kamen Riders aimed at the giant Barlckxs at the end, and as Decade leaped from the ground, the starting point of the card wall of light also rose into the air.

"King Finish Time!"

Kamen Rider ZiO's figure transformed into golden light and instantly leaped into the air. A giant clock hand appeared behind him, and the emblems of twenty Heisei generation Kamen Riders circled and emerged.

"Just enjoy it!"

"Even amidst a chaotic history, the Kamen Riders of the Heisei era have their own unique brilliance, and that is—"

"The belief of all of us!"

Swah——

As Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider ZiO solemnly shouted these words, the phantoms of the other eighteen Kamen Riders seemed to appear beside them as well, and together they charged toward the giant Barlckxs!
King Time Break!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom--!"

Before the Time Manager's proud ability to nullify the Heisei generation Riders, twenty dazzling golden figures pierced through his energy-formed body, like sunlight suddenly piercing through dark clouds, tearing apart his enormous body with a sacred and great power!

The surrounding air was shaken by this power, and a series of deep rumbling sounds echoed outwards.

The massive Barlckxs's energy-form body began to fluctuate violently under this attack, writhing in agony amidst the sudden burst of light, its angry and unwilling roars echoing like thunder.

Decade and ZiO passed through him and landed on the other side. As the ground bricks and stones shattered, a cloud of dust erupted from behind them!

But as the two men who had completed the Knight's Kick slowly stood up, they suddenly realized something—

What did Kawahara go about?!
The sounds of the Timekeeper's painful struggles still echoed. The two stared at each other blankly for a moment before suddenly turning their heads to look. They saw that the sky was filled with light, and the dark colors traced streaks like shooting stars.

The jet-black Arcle Gaia Memory, Core Medal, Astronomical Switch, Knight Ring, Lockseed, Gear Shift Chariot, Eyecon, Knight Gadget, Knight Fullbottle...

They exuded an oppressive aura like an abyss, weaving back and forth across the gigantic Barlckxs's body amidst the blooming golden light, as if binding him or dismantling his power in another way.

The figure of the pitch-black Kuuga also appeared in the air, and the dark trails that were wrapped around the gigantic Barlckxs converged on his body like lines.

Kawahara materialized the Arce driving watch.

"Come over here, all your strength."

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The golden phantoms of the eighteen Heisei generation Kamen Riders reappeared, surrounding the gigantic Barlckxs. At this moment, Tokiwa Sougo discovered that a ZiO Ride Watch had also risen from his body, and then transformed into a red, normal ZiO phantom.

Kadoya Tsukasa, standing nearby, watched this scene in surprise, then suddenly realized something and looked down at himself.

But he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Tsukasa Kadoya: "..."

Tsukasa Kadoya: "???"

How can they still be discriminating at a time like this?

He's really about to explode!

But seemingly sensing his emotions, Kawahara, who was in mid-air, chuckled and raised his hand.

"Here it is."

The shattered white Decade Driver emerged from the light, and then slowly coalesced into a translucent phantom of Kamen Rider Decade centered on the belt.

"It was that time..."

Tsukasa Kadoya touched his waist.

That was the belt he got damaged during his battle with Kamen Rider 3 in Shocker City, but he later got the magenta Decade Driver, so he stopped worrying about the old one.

The guy gave him a plastic toy but kept the belt.

After gaining the power of all the Kamen Riders of the Heisei era, a golden clock without huge hands appeared above Kuuga and the giant Barlckxs, then drifted upwards and overlapped and merged with the "History Reset Device" in the air.

Immediately afterwards, black and gold gears extended from around the circular device, and white and magenta lines were embedded in the metallic plates, completely transforming this history reset device assembled by the Time Manager into its own shape.

wow——

A black vortex appeared at the center of the ring, like a deep and mysterious universe, and then the illusion of twenty Earths appeared in the vortex.

But that's not all. Twenty inner rings of Earth, which are surrounded by each other, replicate an even smaller ring of Earth. This pattern continues to advance, with hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and countless phantom Earths extending one after another, until the central point resembles an endless black singularity.

The black vortex filled with Earth's illusions was like opening a door to a new world.

Perhaps this is a path to an endless time, to countless worlds, and to countless possibilities for the future.

"what are you up to?"

With a slight glint in his emerald green compound eyes, Tsukasa Kadoya stared in astonishment at the dark figure in the air.

Kawahara glanced at him with his head down, said nothing, and then looked away at another part of the square.

The time managers who were shocked and terrified by this scene not far away seemed to sense some kind of crisis and immediately turned around and ran away!
They wanted to escape this world, this history, but their power was suddenly taken away in the next moment.

"what--"

This is the power that governs the time and history of the "Kamen Riders of the Heisei era".

No one knows where the Time Managers came from. Perhaps they were born from the emotions of countless people who loathed the history of Kamen Rider, or perhaps they were simply born with this great power.

The gigantic Barlckxs, bound by the black lines and unable to break free, roared at this moment.

"I see! You also yearn to dominate the history of Kamen Rider, right!" "Being able to manipulate time at will and create the history you want according to your own ideas, no one can resist this power!"

"So you'll eventually become like me, and once you have this power, you can't help but try to dominate the world!"

"What future? What freedom!"

"You so-called Kamen Riders—"

"That's all there is to it!!"

A thunderous roar resounded across the sky as the gigantic Barlckxs, as if using the last of his strength, threw a punch at the dark void above. But just as his fist was about to make contact, his energy form completely dissipated.

The power that governs history transformed into a golden ray of light that surged into the now unrecognizable circular device in the sky.

The timekeepers in their gray-green robes collapsed to the ground, exhausted. A flash of light emanated from their bodies, and they transformed into ordinary people.

"How could this happen? Our strength..."

"Who exactly is this guy? What does he want to do?!"

"Kamen Rider Arcle... This guy should have disappeared long ago in the history of Kamen Rider, so why is he still active now?!"

"........."

Those who govern time cannot understand it, and it is even more difficult for them to comprehend it after losing the power to influence history.

At this moment, the circular device, which had gained the power of history, was finally completed. It was a gigantic Arce watch head, with its layers of gears emitting a metallic clang as they rotated.

It's as if time has begun to move, as if the wheels of history are turning.

Click! Click! Click!
Suddenly, two pointers, one long and one short, one black and one gold, condensed from the singularity, and time stopped at exactly 0 o'clock.

Kawahara looked up at the Wheel of Time.

"What are you going to do?"

ZiO's voice came at that moment.

"This power should be enough to protect the history of Kamen Rider!"

"Do not……"

Kawahara, still gazing upwards, said calmly, "It's not enough, it will never be enough, because the future is endless."

Tokiwa Sougo couldn't help but step forward: "Right now, all we need to do is try our best to protect the present! Let the future us protect it, and also the future Kamen Riders..."

"It's precisely because there are future Kamen Riders."

"..."

Tokiwa Sougo was speechless for a moment.

Tsukasa Kadoya's eyes flickered slightly: "That guy has always had the same characteristics as Ultimate Darkness."

The power to control the time and history of the entire world is so tempting. Will the Time Manager's last words come true, and will Kawahara, who has obtained this power, become as arrogant as he is?
Tsukasa Kadoya's opinion on this is—

The timekeeper is too conservative; this guy has been like this from beginning to end!
Their desire to control certain things is outrageously strong!

"I can hear it."

Then, Kūga's sinister, dark red gaze fell upon him.

"Oh, I meant to tell you!"

Instead, Tsukasa Kadoya arrogantly shouted, "Kamen Riders are born from a chaotic history. It is precisely because the world is too chaotic that more and more Kamen Riders appear!"
"This was true in the past, and it will be true in the future. All the Kamen Riders that will be born in the future will be like this!"

"As you just said, the future is endless, and you can't guarantee that the future of every world won't be a mess!"
"—So that's enough!"

In certain specific situations, Tsukasa Kadoya's ability to give a heartfelt speech is truly outstanding.

Kawahara, who was being bombarded with this message, changed his usual resistant attitude and listened quietly without any reaction until the very end when he finally paid attention to it.

"Who told you I want to control the future?"

"……Clam??"

Tsukasa Kadoya's passionate outburst instantly crumbled.

He paused for two seconds, then silently turned to stare at Kamen Rider ZiO beside him.

Tokiwa Sougo, who had steered the conversation off-topic, took small, quick steps away.

Kawahara chuckled and looked at them: "I won't become like the Dark Force. Although I don't really like things that are completely beyond my control, the future needs infinite possibilities, and such possibilities need to be fought for by humanity itself."

Although he had indeed considered tightly binding the possibilities of the future, it was only a fleeting thought.

It wasn't because I was afraid of being kicked by twenty knights.

Kawahara himself understood that a future bound by constraints was neither what anyone wanted nor what would make anyone happy.

So what he really needs to do is—

It's about being "trapped" in the past!
Kawahara stretched out his left hand toward the Wheel of Time above his head. As the dark golden Agul Seal lit up, the starting point of the two pointers slowly outlined a huge knight's emblem.

The black hour hand remained fixed in place, while the gold minute hand began to move backward.

"Click——"

The movement of the Wheel of Time caused Tsukasa Kadoya and Sougo Tokiwa to look up immediately. After the golden pointer moved, a knight's emblem appeared on the ring.

Kamen Rider – ZiO, Build, Ex-Aid, Ghost, Drive, Gaim, Wizard, Fourze, OOO, W, Decade, Kiva, Den-O, Kabuto, Hibiki, Blade, Faiz, Ryuki, Agito, Kuuga!
Finally, the golden pointer returned to its original position, and the emblem that appeared was—a void of black!

Because that is the future that has not yet happened.

"Kakaka-"

The entire Wheel of Time began to operate, with countless layers of gears turning, intersecting to the left and right, forward and backward, moving through the past and connecting to the future.

The dark form of Kuuga faded from Kawahara's body, and a white cloak billowed out, his divine form once again taking his place.

Then a golden vortex opened up in front of him.

Kawahara looked around, then stepped inside.

"and many more--"

A loud shout suddenly came from below.

Kawahara paused, turning back to look at the magenta Kamen Rider behind him.

Tsukasa Kadoya held out his hand to him: "My card!"

The twenty golden phantoms of Kamen Riders were still connected to the Wheel of Time. Kawahara glanced at the real belt on Decade's body, then smiled at Tsukasa Kadoya below.

"No."

"...? You're not keeping your word!"

Tsukasa Kadoya's eyes widened as he shouted angrily.

Kawahara offered no response and stepped directly into the vortex.

In an instant, like a gentle ripple on a calm lake, both the massive Time Wheel that was suppressed in the air and the power of the surrounding Kamen Riders vanished without a trace.

wow——

A gentle breeze swept by, and the battlefield of the world fell silent.
