Kamen Rider from the ancient times

『KamenRide——』

Decade!

A silver-white striped curtain appeared behind Tsukasa Kadoya, then flew over him and covered his body with a black and white armor.

Finally, magenta light effects stained the armor in a mosaic, the not-so-rounded emerald green compound eyes, resembling insects, lit up, and the crystal in the center of the knight's forehead also shimmered with a dazzling purple light.

Kamen Rider Decade, having completed his transformation, slowly raised his head and looked at the Shocker monster army opposite him.

Narutaki, who was looking at him, felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He had a strange feeling that the Decade in front of him was different from the Decades he had encountered in other worlds.

But this fear was only momentary.

Decade—he's been defeated many times!

Narutaki gave a disdainful sneer, turned around and retreated, his figure being swallowed up by the densely packed Shocker monsters.

There are very few worlds without Kamen Riders, especially since Shocker attempts to dominate the entire timeline of history that spans the "past" and the "future." So, almost every time they arrive in a new world, Shocker's army will skillfully first engage in a wave of Kamen Riders.

Not to mention Kamen Rider Decade, who also possesses the ability to travel between worlds!
Dr. Death, who was walking in front, spread his arms and laughed. His body trembled and transformed into a squid demon with many tentacles. Beside him, Ambassador of Hell also transformed into a hideous rattlesnake monster!

Kadoya Tsukasa looked at the group of familiar enemies, sighed, and then drew the Knight Card Box Sword from his waist.

With a flick of his left hand across the sword, Kamen Rider Decade charged straight toward the enemy army of monsters. His unhurried pace quickened until he transformed into a streak of magenta light and suddenly rushed forward!
AttackRide——

Slash!

"boom--!"

The endless monster army blasted out a zigzag trajectory, and both Shocker combatants and monster executives were blasted into the air by the violent impact!

Then, in the next instant, Kamen Rider Decade appeared above Squid Demon and Rattlesnake Monster.

AttackRide——

"Clock Up!"

Time seemed to stand still in the surrounding space, with only a magenta streak of light traversing hundreds of times in an instant. The Shocker monster, frozen in mid-air, also twisted and turned with the opponent's attack movements.

Swah——

The next moment, Kamen Rider Decade reappeared in the center of the scattered monster army, and a pair of sound batons slowly condensed in his hands.

AttackRide——

"Ongekibou Rekka!" 』

The moment he landed, Kamen Rider Decade crossed his Sound Sticks with both hands and slammed them down onto the ground!

"Boom!"

Flames erupted all around, and the Shocker combatants and monsters who had not yet landed were tumbled into the air again amidst screams, finally crashing to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.

From a human perspective, everything that happened after Decade charged into the monster army happened in a split second.

A moment later, in the center of the plaza where a group of monsters had fallen, only a crimson figure stood motionless, still holding the Knight Card Box Sword in his hand.

……

Xia Hai and Shi had somehow arrived at a street corner outside the square.

After staring at the familiar and powerful magenta knight for a long time, Xia Hai seemed to realize something, and then looked somewhat blankly at the back of the taxi in front of him.

She couldn't see the taxi driver's expression as he turned away from her, but she could see his clenched fists hanging by his sides.

"scholar……"

"Natsumikan!"

The man interrupted her as if to avoid hearing something.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "It's just like what you see. That Decade should be me from another world. The one who truly possesses great power is someone else, while I am this world's version of myself..."

He paused here, then turned to look at Xia Hai.

"I am not a savior at all..."

"..."

"Not powerful at all."

"He's just an ordinary person in this world, with no ambition, no idea what to do, and no dreams of his own."

"It also cannot become Decade."

"This is the real me."

"..."

The man's expression gradually turned sorrowful and bewildered.

But at this moment, Xia Hai seemed to have touched something and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"how come!"

Xia Hai said with a very serious look in his eyes, "No matter how many Shi there are, the Shi before me is the most real Shi! Since becoming Decade, Shi has used this power to save many worlds, and this is an unshakable fact! Shi has become the savior of all of us!"

The man stared blankly at her: "But, I..."

He had no intention of saving those worlds at all.

He simply enjoyed the thrill of having that powerful force to do anything, and he also liked the satisfaction of being the center of the world and surrounded by others, because it gave him a sense of truly living in the world.

Before that—

He might secretly wish for the world to end.

So even though monsters have invaded this world, he still has a sense of unreality. The people who are fleeing in terror seem to have become a string of meaningless symbols, and the road ahead is like a foggy, indistinct silver curtain of water.

This is the world that Shi has always perceived.

"Shi, you came looking for me again just now." Xia Hai's last words pierced through the water curtain and reached him.

Even though he wanted to escape to another world, with the camera already within reach, Shiya still went to find Natsumi, who was stuck in this world, first.

Something seemed to slowly break through Shi's heart, making his perception of the world exceptionally clear at that moment.

Looking at the other Kamen Rider Decade, who was fighting with ease, he seemed to see himself traveling through the eight worlds before him.

"but……"

The man involuntarily took a step forward.

"How can I gain power in this world?"

If he doesn't escape to other worlds, how can he save this world and fight like the other Decade at this moment?

Shi still doesn't know how he acquired Decade's power; it's as if he was suddenly chosen by fate—at the moment when he needed the power the most.

So now...

The scholar stared blankly at the Decade in the distance.

But at that moment, Xia Hai's panicked cry came from behind. Shi turned around abruptly, his body moving faster than his brain, grabbing her arm and dragging her behind him, then kicking her!
"Oh!"

The Gurongi monster that pounced out from the corner was kicked away, but their crisis was not over yet.

As more and more monsters emerged from the darkness and onto the streets, the two who had remained there were soon surrounded by the swarming monsters.

Shi quickly looked around and noticed that the area facing the square was not blocked, so he pulled Xia Hai and rushed out.

The two nimbly dodged the flower racks and telephone poles along the street, but just as they were about to pass through the alley next to the shop, a gaze suddenly locked onto them from afar!

"……what?"

……

……

AttackRide——

Slash!

The Shocker's army surged in once again.

Kamen Rider Decade's figure had already become a blurry afterimage on the battlefield. The crimson sword light drew a sharp arc, and wherever it passed, the explosions and flames formed a scorching wave.

"Boom--!"

The impact of the flames swept up smoke and dust that filled the battlefield, and suddenly several shells came from the smoke screen.

Decade didn't even turn around. Holding the Knight Card Box Sword, he suddenly spun around and slashed. In an instant, the sparks from the explosion sparked a dazzling stream of light on the magenta armor!
He glanced at the strange executives mixed in with the Shocker combatants, and the driver at his waist flashed with card light.

AttackRide——

"Illusion!"

Dozens of magenta Decade phantoms appeared on the battlefield, each leaping into the air in the same manner, magenta energy condensing beneath their feet before falling like a meteor shower.

"boom--!!!"

The devastating shockwave instantly swept across the entire battlefield. The Shocker monsters didn't even have time to distinguish between the real and fake Decade clones before they were blasted apart in the dense explosion.

As the smoke cleared, all of Decade's figures disappeared until only one remained.

With the power of a single Kamen Rider, he fought against the massive Shocker Legion that had invaded countless worlds, yet the battle was almost entirely one-sided.

Seeing the overwhelming battle from beginning to end, Narutaki finally realized something was wrong.

This Decade... something's not right!
In at least the several worlds he had conquered, he had never encountered such a powerful and domineering Kamen Rider Decade.

Given the terrifying combat power and almost ruthless control over the battlefield that the opponent is displaying at this moment, the Decade of this world may have already reached the level of a "demon"!

The demons that hinder Shocker's great journey!

Narutaki's face darkened.

……

After clearing another wave of the battlefield, Tsukasa Kadoya stood in the center of the smoke-filled battlefield, calmly surveying the Shocker monsters that were slowly surging up again around him, waiting for Narutaki's next move.

He knew that the Shocker organization had an even more powerful backup plan.

At that time, he will be able to take action.

finally--

Narutaki's voice could be heard not far away.

"Decade!!"

Standing atop the plaza steps, Narutaki spread his arms wide, laughing arrogantly without a trace of fear: "As my opponent, I admit you have considerable strength! But look behind you!"

Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at him, then turned around and saw a pale-faced Natsumi and another Tsukasa being held captive and pushed towards him by the Bee Woman and the Bat Monster.

In the instant their eyes met, both men's gazes held a certain unreadable meaning.

Decade, with his crimson figure, remained unmoved, his emerald green compound eyes fixed on the two without any fluctuation. No one could discern his emotions at that moment, and the entire battlefield inexplicably became somewhat oppressive.

Until Narutaki's sharp, gritting voice came again.

"What a surprising surprise! You... aren't Decade from this world after all!"

"..."

Tsukasa Kadoya remained silent, only his grip on the Rider Card Box Sword tightened slightly. In that instant, countless plans flashed through his mind, the fundamental one being that Narutaki must not know—that he came from that unalterable sacred timeline!

That annoying guy is incredibly cunning.
