Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

Chapter 162 Critical Strike: Time Shattered and Damaged Time Demon Machine

"Hmm... Oh!" Tokiwa Sougo looked at Hosho Emu's movements with some confusion until he heard the words "ultimate move" and then he understood.

Press the button on the Zi-O and Exide watches to turn the drive.

"Critical! Time Break!" (Critical hit, time shattered)

"Huh? Huh!" The "Gashacon Destroyer" on Zi-O's wrists gathered visible power, and text bullets like those that appear when releasing a special move in a game appeared around him. After a few seconds of confusion, he reacted and flung the text bullets directly into the sky.

Another Ex got up from the ground and angrily charged at Zi-O. Zi-O slammed both hands into the ground at the same time, and the materialized energy wave sent Another Ex flying into the air.

"This is the last one!" Zi-O leaped up, first using the game block that resembled a dividing line to knock Another Ex down, while the scattered words in the air formed a passage in front of Zi-O, directly targeting Another Ex.

"It seems... a little... not quite right, right?" Hojo Emu's smile froze. This was not similar to when he used his special move; it was completely unrelated.

"Ah!!!" Zi-O charged straight towards Another Ex along the passage, shouting excitedly as he unleashed a barrage of punches at Another Ex.

boom!

Amidst the flames of the explosion, a middle-aged man lay unconscious on the ground, while the Alien Exide Watch automatically exited his body, shattering as if it had reached its limit.

Just like when Rider was created, the altered history and Rider power stored in the watch were restored to their original state and returned to this era.

Perhaps another opportunity will come in some critical moment in the future...

“A human?” Jing Feicai walked over directly, checked his condition briefly, and concluded, “He just fainted.”

"Huh...? Who are you?" The middle-aged man had just woken up and became alert when he saw a group of strangers staring at him.

With the disappearance of the Another Exide watch, the middle-aged man's memories of being Another Exide also vanished.

Luo Yuan deactivated his transformation, looked down at the middle-aged man sitting on the ground, and said, "If you want to treat your son's heart disease, then transfer your son to the hospital where the man in front of you works. His name is Jing Feicai."

“Yes, that’s right… Hmm! Hmm?” Zhuang Wu nodded in agreement, but suddenly realized something was wrong and looked at Luo Yuan incredulously. “Senior, do you know what I’m going to do?”

Luo Yuan returned the greeting with a polite smile.

Sougo's expression immediately turned sour, but he still added, "Dr. Emu, I'll leave this to you. That's what you'll want in the future too."

"Well, I see."

“I will treat his son.”

The two doctors were well aware of the severity of this sudden dilated cardiomyopathy. This condition requires immediate surgery, as it is generally hopeless once it reaches an advanced stage.

"Really...really? You can save my son?!"

Keisuke's father was stunned, but when he heard that Kagami Hiiro could save his son, he couldn't care less and excitedly tried to grab Kagami Hiiro's hand. However, as if she had expected it, Kagami Hiiro grabbed Hojo Emu and shielded him in front of her.

Her eyes were shining with excitement, which made Hosho Emu a little scared. Was she getting a little too excited? She glanced at Kagami Hisai with a deep look in her eyes and leaned back unconsciously.

They're a little too close.

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

"He'll be in your care for now, you'll be the intern."

“Nexus, that’s what you call him, right? We…” Jing Feicai started to say something, but suddenly stopped. He felt his memories changing, most obviously his memories of his lover. “…Thank you. I was worried I would forget this.”

"You don't need to worry too much about this. As long as what I or Zhuang Wu say has nothing to do with the Knights, history won't change." Luo Yuan explained, "Alright, we should go back now."

Tsukuyomi nodded and summoned the Time Machine through the tablet. After landing, Luo Yuan and Tsukuyomi went inside and then flew into the time tunnel that opened in the air.

"What are you looking at? Let's go!" Gates also summoned his Time Machine, and the two approached before leaving.

Looking at the disappearing void in the sky, Hojo Emu silently thanked her, then looked at Kagami Hiiro with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to make that kind of expression, Hiiro."

"Enough talk, prepare to receive the patient and begin surgery."

…………

2018, the era of Zi-O.

Outside the 9-to-5 hall, in a secluded place.

Gates was looking at the somewhat damaged Time Machine with a pained expression. It had already suffered considerable damage due to the Time Jackers, and when it came out of the time tunnel, it was suddenly thrown, turning the minor injury into a serious one. It was beyond repair. Tsukuyomi checked the damage through a video on her tablet and advised Gates to give up.

But Gates refused to give up. He picked up his repair tools and planned to fix the exterior of the Time Machine first. However, after only a few touches, he discovered that some circuit was faulty, causing a lot of sparks to fly. He had to back away, afraid that he might accidentally blow it up.

"Damn it, this can't be repaired!" Gates looked at the damaged Time Demon Machine in front of him and felt a headache coming on. He knew that the best solution was to send it back to 2068 to find a professional repairman, but Gates didn't dare to do that. Who knew if that old demon king in 2068 was squatting there, waiting for him to return!

If that Oma Zi-O were to hit him, he'd be crippled even if he didn't die!

“Gates, you can share one with me.” Tokiwa Sougo kindly said to Gates. Not long ago, he glanced at the watch case that he used when he transformed. In addition to one that could summon a motorcycle, there was also one that could summon the Time Demon Machine.

"No need, who wants to use the Demon King's Time-Space Demon God Machine!" Geiz refused without even thinking, but he regretted it a little as soon as he refused. Tsukuyomi's machine was occupied by that scumbag senior. If he didn't share one with the Demon King, wouldn't he be stuck in the present era and watch the Demon King travel through different eras?

No, absolutely not!

He needed to see the Demon King with his own eyes to feel at ease!

"Then... how about asking a senior? I heard from Woz that you were a very capable scientist back in the Rider Build era, so you should be able to fix it, right?"

"Find... Nexus? Will that method even work? That's technology from 2068." Gates hesitated, wondering if this method could really cover such a long time span.

"Hmm, let's give it a try!" Tokiwa Sougo took out his phone, opened the chat app, and clicked on the friend of the senior he had recently managed to add with great difficulty.

"Senior, please help! Gates' Time Machine is severely damaged and can't be repaired!"

Then, two more pictures of the Time Machine were posted.

Geiz looked at Tokiwa Sougo with a puzzled expression. Could this really be a message that Zi-O could send out?

About a minute later, the two looked at the reply.

"Give that thing to Tsukuyomi, I'll fix it for you when I have time."

Tokiwa Sougo was delighted to see Gates's work, while Gates was still a little incredulous. If he could even repair technology from such a distant future, how strong must his research talent be?

…………

Luo Yuan's villa.

"Are you really capable of fixing this?" Tsukuyomi asked Luo Yuan, puzzled.

"Ah, don't worry. Repairing a large mech like the Time Demon Machine, which has blueprints, is always simpler than manufacturing a new driver," Luo Yuan replied with a faint smile.

At some point in the future, Geiz and Zi-O's Time Machine also broke down. It was a certain narcissistic genius physicist who helped repair it. As a scientist who is even more powerful than Sento, there is no reason why he couldn't fix a Time Machine that was only damaged.

The two were sitting in the courtyard of the villa. Tsukuyomi was receiving the damaged Time Demon Machine, while Luo Yuan was still perfecting the functions of the Sun and Moon Driver.

On the street outside the villa, a father and son happened to walk by.

This father and son are the Another Exid hybrid and the hybrid's son from the Another Exid incident. Now the child's complexion has become as rosy as a normal child's, so he must be recovering well.

How's school?

"You startled me."

"As soon as I opened the door, someone said, 'Welcome back!'"

"This makes me a little embarrassed."

"Hahaha……"

The father and son chatted and laughed as they walked away into the distance.

"Hmm, it seems this tragic history has been successfully changed." Looking up at the father and son chatting and laughing as they walked away, Luo Yuan continued working on the improvements, saying this as he did so.

“That’s right, we also need to work hard, just like you said before, to keep Zi-O away from the path of becoming a demon king, and guide him towards the path of a benevolent and virtuous king.” Tsukuyomi smiled and her eyes were full of light, this was the greatest hope for the future.

After experiencing the events of Another Rider Build and Another Exid, Tsukuyomi realized that even if they stopped Zi-O, they couldn't stop the Time Jackers from seizing the Riders' powers to create Another Riders and establish a new king. In the subsequent battle, it was destined that Zi-O would obtain the remaining Riders' watches.

Luo Yuan nodded, and from Tsukuyomi's perspective, he took out the Exide watch from his pocket. At this moment, the watch was no longer pink and green, but had turned orange and gold, evolving from its initial form to its ultimate form: Exide Invincible Player Watch.

"Is it the same as the one from Rider Build? Did it absorb the remaining history of the knights from that era, and thus undergo evolution?" Luo Yuan muttered to himself.

boom!

The sound of a large object hitting the ground echoed in the courtyard. Luo Yuan looked up and saw the damaged Time Demon Machine.

"Let's start by dealing with this mech." Putting down his Chuangqi phone, Luo Yuan picked up his toolbox and walked into the nearly scrapped Time Demon Mech. Grabbing a wrench, drill, screwdriver, and other tools, Luo Yuan began repairing the thing.

On the Chuangqi phone he had placed on the table, a message popped up: "Senior, are you free tonight? My uncle is in a good mood for some reason and invited you to dinner."

…………

The sun gradually sets.

Luo Yuan and Yue Du arrived outside the Nine-to-Five Hall. Behind Luo Yuan followed a huge mechanical lion, carrying a massive red mecha on its back. This was the Time Demon Machine that Luo Yuan had spent several hours repairing.

At the entrance of the 9-to-5 Hall, Gates stared blankly at the Time Demon Machine on the back of the Miracle Blaze.

Tsukuyomi took out her tablet and showed Gates various data about the Time Machine. According to the data, the Time Machine was functioning normally.

"I can't believe it actually got fixed!" Gates exclaimed.

“Indeed.” Tsukuyomi deeply understood, having watched Luo Yuan painstakingly repair the Time Demon Machine back to its original state using those outdated repair tools.

Sougo was wiping the clock he had taken down from the wall inside the 9 to 5 Hall. Looking through the window, he saw that everyone had arrived outside. He put down the clock and ran out of the 9 to 5 Hall. "Everyone, please wait a moment before going in. I have something I want to say to you all."

"Zi-O, what are you trying to say?" Geiz asked, looking puzzled.

"My dream is to become a king, as you all know. I want to walk the path of utmost benevolence and goodness, so I would like to ask you all to supervise me. If I go astray, and you, Geiz, believe that I will become the future Oma Zi-O, then if that day really comes, I hope that you, Geiz and my seniors, can stop me."

Tokiwa Sougo's tone was very sincere. Neither Geiz nor Tsukuyomi expected this, and their expressions changed. Geiz's fixed impression of Oma Zi-O began to crumble, and Tsukuyomi became even more determined to guide Tokiwa Sougo toward the path of ultimate benevolence and goodness.

"Should we stop it?" Luo Yuan switched Miracle Blaze back from Lion Mode to Motorcycle Mode and stopped it outside the 9 to 5 Hall. "Although it's a little troublesome, as long as it doesn't escalate to the level of Oma Zi-O, everything is still under control."

“…I understand.” After exchanging glances for a few seconds, Gates nodded seriously.

At that moment, the aroma of food wafted out from the Nine-to-Five Hall, and Gates' stomach rumbled incessantly. Gates coughed awkwardly, put away the Time Machine, and went straight inside.

"What a feast, Mr. Junichiro." Tsukuyomi discreetly touched her face and the flesh on her arms. Eating this once... she shouldn't gain much weight, right?

"It's a rare get-together, and it's also to celebrate that Sougo has made a new friend. How can we not celebrate properly?" Tokiwa Junichiro said with a smile. "There's one more dish. Please wait a moment while I finish making it, and then we can start eating."

"Speaking of which, where's Woz? I was thinking of inviting him to come along..." Tokiwa Sougo was the last to enter the room, muttering to himself with some regret.
