Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

This strange thought came to mind.

…………

The top of Pandora's Tower.

Luo Yuan remained in the form of Ultraman Tiga Dark, his eyes peering through the hole that pierced the entire Pandora Tower at the remaining black ash. He stared for a long time before withdrawing his gaze, muttering to himself, "So that bug actually managed to escape? Its vitality is quite tenacious."

"...Alright, let him live this time. If this continues, the little guy's body won't be able to take it."

"Let's wait until this little guy's body becomes stronger before transferring his consciousness over. By then, the power that can be transferred should be much greater."

"Speaking of which, why do I sense Noah's presence on this little guy? Is it just my imagination?"

Luo Yuan muttered to himself as he pulled out the light and darkness trigger on the driver. The black color on Tiga's body gradually disappeared, replaced by red and purple, and he returned to his composite form.

"Hmm... where am I?"

Luo Yuan, who was gradually waking up from his slumber, looked around at his surroundings and was a little confused. Wasn't he just planning to transform into Tiga Dark Type and let Ebert have a good experience?

Why did he come here?

Where did Ebert go?

Who created this hole that runs through the entire Tower of Pandora?

Why do I feel like my body is in a bad mood?

With these questions in mind, Luo Yuan shook his head. There was no point in thinking about it now. He should hurry back and check his physical condition, and then check the surveillance video to see what exactly happened not long ago.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest to gather power, then spread them to his sides. White light surged from Luo Yuan's body and enveloped him, then disappeared the next second.

Nasita Coffee Shop, a hub for creative cycling.

Katsuragi Takumi and the others felt much the same way as Ebert, with a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

However, unlike Ebert, their feelings for Luo Yuan stemmed from their yearning for the strong and their fighting spirit.

"It's a real pity that Zhan Tu isn't here right now, otherwise he could definitely have developed that kind of powerful enhancement device."

"I regretfully said, 'Wan Zhanglong.'"

Saruwatari and the others nodded, their gazes subtly drifting towards Katsuragi Takumi, who was diligently working not far away.

The disdain was palpable on his face.

Although that rabbit is narcissistic, it's still easier to get along with than this devilish scientist, right?

"Hey, why are you all staring at me like that? My research skills aren't bad at all!"

Katsuragi Takumi felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that by Manjou Ryuga and the others.

What are these people trying to do?

Why do I, the most brilliant physicist in Dongdu, feel looked down upon here?

Doesn't the title of "evil scientist" have any dignity?

"Hmph, once I've perfected this ultimate transformation item, you'll see how powerful I am!"

"What? It's all thanks to the research data left behind by Zhan Tu!"

"That's right!"

"that is!"

"+1"×n

Being treated so sarcastically made Katsuragi Takumi feel extremely frustrated.

In reality, aren't Kiryu Sento and him the same person?

Isn't the other research material I left behind mine?

Should we treat them differently like this?

"Just you wait! I will personally crush Ebert!"

Katsuragi Takumi said unwillingly, and plunged headfirst into the research progress of the Genius Energy Bottle.

"Defeat Eberlt... Do we need you to go? With Luo Yuan here, Eberlt shouldn't dare to show his face again, right?"

"I heard Katsuragi Takumi's words and muttered to myself, 'Manjō Ryū.'"

Saruwatari Kazumi and the others nodded in agreement.

Although Eberlite, who has recovered to his complete form, is very strong, Luo Yuan is clearly stronger!

If they still dare to show their faces, aren't they being a bit too ambitious?

Chapter 198 Luo Yuan's Speculation and Katsuragi Takumi's Thoughts

Underground laboratory.

Luo Yuan sat in front of the lab bench, looking at the video recordings on the computer.

He watched the entire process of him kicking Ebert into outer space, transforming into Tiga Dark Type, and then transforming back into Tiga Composite Type dozens of times.

Throughout the process, Luo Yuan's facial expression remained unchanged, but various thoughts were surging in his mind, and he began to record those thoughts.

First of all, using the Light/Dark Trigger to transform into Tiga Dark Type actually puts the user into a deep sleep and allows another consciousness to fight in their place!

Furthermore, the consciousness seen in the video is very familiar with Ultraman Tiga Dark Type, as if it were wielding its own hands and feet with practiced ease.

In addition, there was the data he obtained after examining his own body upon his return.

The results showed that the injuries to his body caused by this transformation were being continuously repaired by a power that was both light and dark.

This power doesn't seem to be the energy that comes with the Light Evolution; rather, it's more like that consciousness repairing his body through Ultraman Tiga Dark Type.

Moreover, after his body was repaired, those light particles that revealed both light and darkness did not dissipate, but remained in his body and became part of him.

And these clues, when summarized, make it quite clear that the owner of that consciousness is very likely to be...

Although Luo Yuan was very surprised when he learned this information, after all, although his power came from the combination of various energy sources to reproduce the power of the Ultra Warrior he transformed into, in essence, what was attached to his body after the transformation was just a layer of armor.

But now something unexpected has happened. This time, when transforming into Tiga Dark Type, he actually managed to take over the consciousness of the original form and fight for him.

But how exactly was it summoned? It can't be because Tiga Dark Type is one of Tiga's final forms that the consciousness of the original Tiga was summoned, right?

However, this assumption is also invalid, since he once transformed into Gaia's final form: Gaia Supreme, and at that time he did not feel anything strange.

So now there's only one clue left, because of the Light and Dark Trigger, or more accurately, the power of light and darkness obtained from signing in inside the Light and Dark Trigger.

The most likely explanation is that during the initial transformation into Ultraman Tiga Dark, when activating the light and dark triggers, only one power should have been activated to complete the transformation. However, for unknown reasons, both light and dark powers were activated simultaneously.

However, because the forces of light and darkness cannot be used simultaneously, the collision of these forces unexpectedly summoned the consciousness of the original being. This is the most likely answer at this stage.

At this point, Luo Yuan also stopped writing. Various possible guesses had appeared in his notebook, but most of them had been crossed out, leaving only a small number marked as important.

"Hmm... Whew!"

Luo Yuan stretched, closed his laptop and placed it on the document shelf beside him. He then picked up the Light Evolution Energy Bottle that was placed next to him, took the elevator, and returned to the villa above the laboratory.

The remaining clues have yielded no useful information. It's best to get some sleep to clear your mind so you can better integrate the information later.

With this thought in mind, Luo Yuan lay on the bed with an energy bottle in one hand and his eyes closed. After a few minutes, there was no sound at all.

…………

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

After a brief period of peace, Dongdu was once again ravaged by war.

"This is the government residence. The army from Xidu has breached it. Please come to our aid immediately!!"

…………

"what?"

"That bastard Ebert, it's only been a few days, and he's already back again?"

Wan Zhanglong and the others were somewhat surprised to receive news that Xidu had launched another attack.

It's only been a few days since things calmed down, and his injuries have already healed?

They're really risking their lives.

"Now issue the final ultimatum to the Eastern Capital: hand over Pandora's Box!"

"Otherwise, the army of the Western Capital will raze the Eastern Capital to the ground!"

The unilateral declaration of war from the Prime Minister of the Western Capital, "Mado Masakuni," has once again triggered panic among the citizens of the Eastern Capital.

Of course, this so-called prime minister was nothing more than a role played by Ebert himself.

Mido Masakuni, Namba Juzaburo.

The two most powerful figures in Xidu died at his hands one after another.

Soon, a large number of mechanical defense troops poured into the territory of Dongdu, and the war broke out once again.

Meanwhile, Ryuga Banjo and Kazumi Saruwatari, who were already sparring outside, immediately transformed into Croz the Great Dragon and Gris Robot, respectively, and joined the battle after receiving the news.

at the same time.

Nasita Coffee Shop, the underground base of Chuangqi.

The energy bottle's conversion device made a loud bang.

"what happened?"

Misora ​​Ishido, who was lying in bed catching up on sleep and snoring, was suddenly awakened.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see countless papers fluttering in the air. Katsuragi Takumi's hair stood on end as he excitedly looked at the brand-new prop in his hand.

"Completed! The ultimate power enhancement device, infused with all the components of the energy bottle!"

"Genius Energy Bottle!"

"Impressive, right? Awesome, right? I'm a genius!"

Looking at Katsuragi Takumi's incredibly narcissistic appearance, Ishidou Misora ​​inexplicably had the illusion that Kiryu Sento had returned.

So this line came from Katsuragi Takumi?
