Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

Katsuragi Takumi murmured to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

If we're talking about who's the most surprised right now, it's definitely not Wan Zhanglong and his group, but him.

What is going on?

Luo Yuan?

Who is he?

Isn't this power a bit too terrifying?

Think about how much preparation he made to deal with Ebert.

How much effort did it take to create the Knight System?

As it turned out, Ebert's strength far exceeded his expectations.

As for what happens next... those who know, know.

As a result, he was completely dominated and beaten by a powerful figure who appeared out of nowhere from beginning to end, and the way he did it was as easy as a father beating his son.

"Wan Zhang... Long Wo, what exactly is the background of that Luo Yuan?"

Finally, Katsuragi Takumi couldn't help but ask Banjou Ryuga.

Although he really didn't want to talk to this guy who had Eberst genes in his body and who he wasn't even sure could be considered human.

Without even thinking, Wan Zhanglong blurted out, "Huh? Luo Yuan's background? Who knows?"

"But I didn't expect him to actually take down that terrifyingly strong Ebert. He's incredibly strong!"

"Wan Zhanglong said excitedly, his eyes filled with longing for power."

Katsuragi Takumi was stunned after hearing this answer.

What...what the hell?

I don't know its origin?

You don't even know who that person is, yet you're so excited?

Aren't you afraid that this is another villain with ulterior motives, just like Ebert?

Katsuragi Takumi's gaze then shifted to Saruwatari Kazumi and Himuro Gentoku.

Whether I know them or not, at least I can confirm that they are friends, not enemies. In any case, they are more pleasing to the eye than Wan Zhanglong, who is not even sure if he is human.

But seeing that they all reacted the same way as Banjo Ryuga, Katsuragi Takumi's doubts deepened, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.

This……

Why do you all seem to trust this mysterious person of unknown origin so much?

What is happening to this world?

Why do I feel like I don't belong in this world?

Chapter 185 Katsuragi Shinobu's Frustration: Nanba Shigesaburo (Danger!!!)

Inside the Faust base in the Western Capital.

Katsuragi Shinobu stared wide-eyed at the scene on the big screen in disbelief.

"Ebert... was actually wiped out?"

They were not in the same place, but at the same time.

Both Katsuragi and his son began to question the meaning of life.

"Impossible, how could the Knight System possess such power?"

"They managed to destroy Ebert without even using the white Pandora panel!"

Katsuragi Shinobu muttered to himself.

Next, who can be considered the strongest Kamen Rider in all three cities, has been keeping an eye on him.

He felt he already valued the knight enough, and even considered including him in his plans.

However, what actually happened shattered his worldview.

The layout is small!

Even through the screen, he could feel how powerful Nexter was in his current form, Croz Eberl.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that it directly defeated Ebert in his black hole form is enough to demonstrate the prestige of this form.

Before this, Shinobu Katsuragi did not believe that these Riders could defeat the fully-formed Ebert head-on, so he once placed the key to defeating it on the Evolution Trigger mounted on its Driver.

But now, Shinobu Katsuragi's perception has been shattered. He never expected that a Kamen Rider even more powerful than Evol Black Hole would appear.

Next, that mysterious Kamen Rider!

"If we had known he possessed such power earlier, the plan should have been moved up!"

Katsuragi said regretfully.

Given the power that Kroz Eberl has demonstrated, it is clear that he is capable of completely annihilating Eberl, leaving him no chance of rebirth.

However, that is only if the attack hits the target completely.

Others might not know, but Shinobu Katsuragi knew very well just how cunning Ebert was.

Faced with this absolutely deadly situation, he must have isolated the genetic cells in advance, so they were never truly destroyed.

Katsuragi Shinobu felt extremely regretful and disappointed that he had missed such a golden opportunity to completely eliminate him.

He immediately turned off the screen that was playing the video.

Out of sight out of mind!

But the next moment, he suddenly noticed the movement behind him, his body stiffened for a moment, and his pupils shrank slightly.

It then returned to normal.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!... That devil Nexter almost got caught by that guy."

A complaining voice mixed with coughing came from behind. Katsuragi Shinobu turned around as usual, and what came into view was "Ishidou Sōichi".

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that Ebert, who had mimicked Soichi Isurugi, has now fully recovered and no longer needs to possess someone else's body.

He was visibly weak at that moment, his steps unsteady, and he swayed as he lay on a chair to the side.

Katsuragi Shinobu frowned at first, then deliberately asked, "What happened? You seem to be seriously injured?"

"It's nothing, I just ran into a troublesome guy who's stronger than I ever imagined."

Ebert spoke as calmly as possible, but his brows still twitched uncontrollably.

Although he tried his best to remain calm, it was still clear that the anger in his heart was hard to quell.

Defeated!

Even in his complete form, he was defeated once again!

If Nexter were to use his power called "Blue Youth," that would be one thing, since he's lost to Nexter in that form more than once or twice.

But he happened to use Kroz Eberl, who, like him, possessed the power of a black hole.

After finally recovering to its full form, it was brutally beaten by its own power and almost lost its life. Who could withstand that?

My initially joyful mood plummeted from its peak to its lowest point in an instant.

His anger even led him to consider swallowing the Earth right now.

Of course, having just been reduced to a wisp of cells by Nexter, he wouldn't be so reckless as to actually risk his life by going straight for the kill; otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to the Faust base.

Ebert took out the Evolution Driver and Evolution Trigger, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said "calmly" that "the Evolution Trigger was successfully activated, but it suffered some wear and tear, as did the Evolution Driver."

"Mr. Katsuragi, I'll have to trouble you with the debugging again."

"In addition, the research progress on the Lost Energy Bottle should be accelerated."

As he continued speaking, Ebert's tone involuntarily turned incredibly cold.

We can't let this go like this!

He needs to gain greater power, and the black Pandora panel activated by the Lost Energy Bottle will be the key to turning the tide.

Recalling the immense power of Evol·Monster Mode, Eberlt couldn't help but smile with excitement.

Next, who will have the last laugh?

…………

The Prime Minister's Residence in Xidu.

"Has Ebert been wiped out?"

Upon receiving the news, Nanba Juzaburo muttered to himself, then a smug smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Hahahaha! It's not a bad thing. I was just wondering how to deal with this dishonest guy, but someone has already taken care of him for me."

"Dare to play tricks in front of me, Nanba Juzaburo? Humph, utterly laughable."

Nanba Juzaburo wasn't entirely without suspicion of Ebert, but rather he still felt that Ebert had some value to him.

However, as Ebert repeatedly disobeyed orders on his own initiative, he felt the pressure growing increasingly immense.

In addition, the recent major changes in Dongdu have permeated the entire Sandu with a dark atmosphere, as well as news related to Eberlt.

The ominous feeling in my heart grew stronger.

Now that he has received news that Eberlt has been destroyed, Nanba Juzaburo not only does not feel regret for losing a powerful weapon, but is actually relieved.

The weight that had been hanging over my heart finally settled down.

"Hahaha! Good riddance! Good riddance!"

"What's so special about today? Why is Chairman Nanba so happy?"

"Of course it is... cough cough cough! E... Ebert, what are you doing here?"

Naniwa Juzaburo was smiling happily when a familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway, almost making his heart stop.

The Gear Brothers, along with Nariaki Utsumi and the others who were standing beside Shigebe Namba, all looked over in disbelief.
