Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

"The three of them are studying upstairs," Luo Yuan said.

“Then I’ll go call them. Sougo will definitely be interested in this.” Tokiwa Junichiro ran upstairs and called Sougo and the other two down.

Sougo and Gates both wore relieved smiles. Heaven knows why their senior's questions were so difficult!

Could it be that the timeline for Another Oz has already arrived? Luo Yuan finished the last bit of food in his bowl, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the television.

"This is an unprecedented event. The Danshi Group, a leading Japanese conglomerate, has just announced its intention to secede from Japan. The following is footage from the press conference."

As the reporter spoke, the camera shifted to an antique-style high-rise building. A person wearing a black hat and gold-patterned clothing stood on the top floor and slowly said, "I am Dan Lidou, the president of the Dan Group, and now I am Dan Lidou-wang!!!"

In front of the television, all four people except Luo Yuan gathered together.

"Danli Douwang, so amazing! He's a king, and this person will become a king too." Tokiwa Sougo smiled, surprised that someone else shared the same goal as him.

"Looks like your companions have appeared," Gates said jokingly, arms crossed.

Luo Yuan walked behind the four of them and looked at the content on the TV. Just by hearing the voice, he could imagine the exaggerated expression on Huanmeng's face. "This guy actually doesn't call himself a god anymore?"

"God? Nexus, do you know something?" Tsukuyomi had a strange premonition that Luo Yuan might know some information.

"Remember Kamen Rider Ex? The guy on the TV screen who calls himself a king back in Ex's time called himself a god and was the Kamen Rider Genmu's healer."

Luo Yuan watched the scene on TV and casually offered a few explanations.

"Illusion? He's a Kamen Rider?" Geiz couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The history of Kamen Rider Exid has been erased, and neither the main rider nor the secondary rider can transform.

How dare this person say such things? They're either still half asleep or have intellectual disabilities.

On television, Dan Kuroto continued to announce, "I hereby declare my company independent from Japan, and I will not accept any rebuttal. The place where my company is located is my territory, and all Japanese laws are invalid here!"

Now, not only those watching on TV, but even people at the scene are getting restless: "Do you think people will accept your absurd behavior?"

"Oh? Do you intend to defy the King's will?" Dan Kuroto said calmly, taking out a strangely shaped coin and inserting it directly into the body of the person who had defied him.

"Ah!!!" the man screamed as bandage-like strips of cloth and black mist appeared, transforming him into a monstrous creature with a hollow face, which began attacking the reporters around him.

"See? He has become my loyal servant! All those who dare to defy me end up like this! Hahahaha!" Dan Kuroto said excitedly, his face displaying an exaggerated facial expression.

"The scene was extremely chaotic. In addition, it seems that Dan Kuroto has also kidnapped a member of parliament as a hostage!" After saying this, the reporter fled.

Meanwhile, in the high-rise building where Dan Kuroto was, a man in a suit was idly locked in a room, with a red feather pinned to his chest.

"Another Time Jacker..." Gates's lips twitched.

"Looks like we need to be more careful. I didn't expect the Time Jackers to target a former Kamen Rider as an Another Rider. This is going to be troublesome." Tsukuyomi had a headache and looked hopefully at Luo Yuan, who was slacking off.

No matter how troublesome the enemy, you can't go wrong with him!

"Hoo... Let's go, Zhuangwu. Let's go check on that guy first. By the way, let you figure out what kind of person will become a Demon King. Experience it firsthand. Maybe it will be more rewarding for you..." Luo Yuan played with a green and yellow knight watch in his hand.

“Nexus is right. Let’s see what kind of person becomes a Demon Lord and use them as a negative example.” After thinking about it for a moment, I felt this plan was feasible. “If you show even the slightest sign of developing into a Demon Lord, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Luo Yuan raised an eyebrow. Had Gates really changed that much?

"Really? Then I'll go!" Sougo smiled happily and ran out, with Gates quickly following after him.

"Alright, let's go." Luo Yuan put away his knight watch and walked in the direction that Gates and the other person had left. Tsukuyomi quickly followed.

"Am I getting old? Why do I feel like I can't understand anything they're saying?" Tokiwa Junichiro scratched his head in confusion, thinking about what they had just said several times, but he still couldn't understand.

"Forget it, let the young people handle their own affairs. It's great that Sougo has made a few new friends now..."

…………

Tan's Group.

Somewhere, Woz was flipping through the Omaguchi Calendar with a frustrated expression. How long had it been since he had shown himself before His Majesty the Demon King? Most of the historical details recorded in this book were wrong, but thankfully, the general course of history had not gone astray.

When His Majesty the Demon King inherited the power of the Wizard Knights last time, he never expected that he wouldn't be able to celebrate in time. Woz almost had an epileptic fit, actually missing an opportunity to celebrate His Majesty the Demon King...

"This time, I must show off my skills in front of His Majesty the Demon King." Woz took a deep breath. He had already heard footsteps and excitedly stepped out to stop the newcomer. According to this book, the first person to pass through here would be his Demon King.

"Why you? Nexus?" Woz felt a dull ache in his heart. Where was his Demon King?

"Huh? Woz? What are you doing here?" Sougo arrived a few steps later than Luo Yuan. "I still have to observe another king. See you later."

Now, Sougo is completely focused on this matter and has no time to pay attention to Woz.

This attitude caused Wozniak even more pain.

Gates, who arrived behind Sougo, completely ignored Woz; he didn't care what kind of person would betray his comrades.

The only consolation for Woz was that his Demon King was finally continuing his journey to become king.

Chapter 283 Oz the Outcast

"Hey, you've had it pretty tough, Woz." Luo Yuan glanced at Woz with pity.

"Nexus, those Time Jackers have their eyes on you. You'd better be careful." Woz was still very wary of Luo Yuan. After all, in his opinion, everything that was happening now was not going according to the book because of this guy in front of him.

"You don't need to worry about that. A tiger that hasn't even shown its claws, let alone its fangs, is no match for an elephant," Luo Yuan said casually, walking towards the high-rise building. Yue Du, the last one to run out of the 9-to-5 hall, hurriedly followed.

Even from this distance, I could hear Dan Kuroto's almost insane voice; they must have already started fighting.

"A tiger that hasn't even shown its teeth or claws?" Woz muttered to himself, frowning.

Although Nexus is annoying, he probably doesn't talk nonsense. So, does this mean Swartz has some deeper conspiracy?

“Nexus…” Woz hesitated, considering whether to bring Nexus into the world of Oma Zi-O in 2068.

If it were the future Demon King, perhaps he would know what Nexus's true purpose was.

"Sigh... let's observe for a while longer."

…………

When Luo Yuan arrived at the battle site, the battle between Zi-O Geiz and Another OZ had already ended. Only Geiz remained on the scene, holding a black and purple watch in his hand, the Dream Rider Watch.

"Gates, where's Sougo? What happened?" Tsukuyomi noticed the watch on Gates's wrist that was very similar to Exyde's Knight Watch. Apart from the color, the other details were almost identical, and the time was also 2016.

“Zi-O has already gone to observe Another Oars’s style of acting as a king.” Geiz handed the Kamen Rider Genmu Watch to Luo Yuan. “This watch should be the one you mentioned before, the Kamen Rider Genmu Watch belonging to Dan Kuroto. I also just saw the number 2016 on the tag on the back of Another Rider. The Rider Watch corresponding to Another Oars, Nexus, do you have any clues?”

"Well, we can only wait for OZ's user to appear. As for us, let's go to 2016 and see. We need to give Sougo some time to observe that so-called king." Luo Yuan knew that Geiz was seeing things. The plate behind Another OZ had worn down a bit after two years. The zero in 2010, the year OZ was born, looked a bit like a six after it was worn down.

“You’re right, Zi-O probably won’t be able to observe anything in a short time.” Geiz’s furrowed brows relaxed. In any case, as long as Another Rider can be dealt with, most of the negative effects caused by Another Rider will disappear.

If it can make Zi-O realize the difference between a Demon King and a King, then this price is acceptable.

"Well then, Miss Driver, let's go." Luo Yuan looked at Yue Du.

"Then we'll go to 2016 to investigate Dan Kuroto. Gates, remember to be careful, you and Sougo are enemies now." Tsukuyomi reminded Gates again, after all, Sougo has now directly infiltrated the enemy's ranks and is pretending to be the enemy, if a conflict arises, a fight is definitely going to happen.

"I'll try to hold back and not hurt him." Geiz nodded. How could Zi-O possibly hurt him?

Since arriving in this era, Zi-O has always been like a mouse facing a cat, never winning a single time.

Luo Yuan saw that Gates's mind was already inflated, and silently shook his head, hoping that Zhuang Wu would go easy on him later.

As Tsukuyomi operated the tablet, a silver-white Time Machine flew in from nowhere. The two boarded the Time Machine and flew into the time tunnel that had opened in the sky.

…………

2016, the Exide era.

Above the sky, a hexagonal time portal opened, and a silver-white Time Demon Machine flew out from it and stopped outside the Tan Group.

After making a few adjustments on the Time Demon Machine's control panel, Tsukuyomi brought up images and screens showing the interior of the Tan Group.

At this moment, Dan Kuroto had already been inserted into the Another OZ Watch and transformed into Another OZ. In the office, he grabbed his father by the neck and lifted him high, looking at Dan Masamune, whose face was gradually turning red due to lack of oxygen, and laughed wantonly.

A few seconds later, Dan Masamune stopped struggling and lost his life. Dan Kuroto released his grip and let him fall to the ground. "Hahahaha, now you know how powerful I am! From today onwards, this company is mine! The bright future of becoming a king is about to begin."

Watching Dan Kuroto on the screen already envisioning his bright future, Luo Yuan silently shook his head. He'd only just arrived and already witnessed a scene of "filial piety and parental love"—it was truly...

"Alright, Tsukuyomi, go back."

"Huh?" Tsukuyomi was completely dumbfounded by this question. She was going to go back after just one glance?

“I have the information I need. Take a look.” With that, Luo Yuan adjusted the angle of the screen, pointing it at the back of Another Oz and pointing to the silver plaque. “Back in 2018, this plaque was missing a piece. I guess Gates was busy fighting at the time and only glanced at it briefly, his eyes were blurry.”

"I see. That means this Another Rider wasn't born in 2016, but in 2010." Tsukuyomi immediately understood.

Suddenly, Oz, the alien on the screen, looked out the window. A strangely shaped machine was standing there. "What the hell is that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Oz bent his legs slightly, then leaped up and smashed through the glass, heading straight for the Time Demon Machine.

"Tsk, troublesome!" Luo Yuan took over control of the Time Demon Machine directly, pulled the control stick sharply, and the position of the Time Demon Machine rose.

"Damn it, I order you to stop right now!" Tan Lidou immediately became anxious; the temperature had risen so much in just a few seconds.

He struggled to swing his arms, trying to hook the Time Demon Machine with the tiger claws on his arms, but the ascent was too fast, rising dozens of meters in just a few seconds.

Another OZ has a strong jumping ability, but that's only when there's a point of leverage. In mid-air without a point of leverage, Another OZ flailed a few times before giving up and staring unwillingly at the machine that was shrinking in his field of vision.

"I am a god! I am the king! I am immortal!!!"

boom!

"Is that guy an idiot?" Tsukuyomi heard the loud roar but didn't look up. It was a building tens of meters high!

Even an Outcast Knight would be crippled if he fell like that without any warning.

"Don't worry about him, let's go back first. As long as he doesn't have the corresponding Rider Watch, just some external force, that guy will be fine. Even if he dies, he can revive quickly." He said this, but Luo Yuan's eye still twitched involuntarily. This... truly lives up to its reputation as a dream...

Chapter 284 Creating the Devouring Monster

The Time Machine departed, and a few minutes later, on the rooftop of the building, in the chairman's office.

Ul sat on the broken glass by the alien Oz, his legs dangling outside the window, lying on the floor with a look of utter despair on his face.

Why did the Another Rider chosen this time become increasingly mentally unstable after gaining the power of Another Rider?

I've never heard Swartz mention any side effects from properly activating the Another Rider Watch.

boom!

The office door was kicked open violently, and Another Oz stormed back in, yelling angrily, "Where's that damn robot?!"

"I advise you not to provoke the person sitting in that machine. That person is very strong, strong enough to easily defeat you. Fortunately, he has no interest in becoming a king or anything like that, so you can just continue to develop peacefully like this." Ur stood up, gave this friendly reminder, and then turned and quickly left using his time-stopping ability.

"Enemies? Hahahaha!!! They don't exist! I am the king! Everything in the future should be ruled by me! You think you can defeat me so easily? As the king, you should eliminate this threat as quickly as possible!"
