Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

Sougo raised the Zi-O II watch in his hand, and in an instant, the surroundings went dark. In the next second, time rewound to the moment when Geiz released the Rider Kick.

Gates leaped high, about to kick out, but the next second, his body seemed to rewind, returning to the state before he unleashed the Knight Kick.

"What just happened?" Gates looked around in confusion and examined his own body.

"This is truly amazing, Your Majesty! This is the power of Oma Zi-O!" Black Woz walked out from the side, his face full of excitement.

"So it was you who did this, Black Woz!" White Woz grabbed Black Woz's collar in frustration, but Zi-O still managed to gain his second-stage power at this point in time!

"No, it was my own choice!" Sougo stepped out from behind a stone pillar not far from Tsukuyomi, taking out the Zi-O 2nd generation watch in his hand.

“That’s…!” Black Woz exclaimed excitedly.

"Finally, we succeeded!" Gates breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zi-OⅡ!" (Zi-O II)

With the activation sound, Sougo disassembled the watch into two pieces, placing each piece on one side of the driver.

As Zhuang Wu moved, two illusory silver clocks, like mirror images, appeared behind him.

"Transform!" Sougo said firmly.

"Rider Time!"

"Kamen Rider! Rider!"

"Zi-O·Zi-O·Zi-OⅡ!" (Zi-O~Zi-O~Zi-O II!)

Zi-O II was born from this.

"Rejoice! He is the king of time, who surpasses all other riders, transcends time and space, and knows the past and future. At this moment, he transforms into Kamen Rider Zi-O II, and a new history has begun!" Black Woz shouted excitedly.

"Oh!!! It feels like it's been ages since I've heard that." Sougo whispered to Black Woz.

"Then, Your Majesty the Demon King, fight to your heart's content!" With that, Black Woz stepped aside.

"Hmm," Zhuang Wu nodded and walked towards the alien dragon tooth.

At this moment, Sougo's aura far surpassed that of Another Ryuga. Another Ryuga's every move couldn't even ignite a spark on Zi-O, and he was instead knocked back by Zi-O's punch.

Under the relentless attacks, Another Dragon Fang had no chance to retaliate. Even with its mirror reflection ability, it was unable to withstand the power of Zi-O II, and the mirror was shattered.

"King! Giri Giri Slash!" (King's Ultimate Slash)

Sougo combined the Time Sword Spear with the strongest limit sword, unleashing his ultimate attack. He raised the blade high, and light extended from the blade to form a sword of light, which he slashed down in the despairing gaze of the alien Ryuga.

boom!

In the flames of the explosion, the Alien Dragon Fang Watch shattered, leaving only a mirror image of Shinji Kido.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the mirror, and a golden and silver figure emerged from it, holding a watch that was predominantly black with some red stripes.

"Senior?" Sougo looked at the figure that walked out of the mirror in surprise. This form was... the form that the senior used when he fought against Oma Zi-O?

"Nexus!" White Woz's expression changed upon seeing the person emerge from the mirror, and he quickly left the area.

"Hmm...it seems your matter has been resolved." Luo Yuan glanced wearily at the surrounding situation. After seeing that Zhuang Wu had transformed into Zi-O II, he knew that Another Dragon Fang had probably been defeated.

“Senior, what’s wrong with you…” Even through the mask, Zhuang Wu could sense Luo Yuan’s exhaustion.

"...Like you, I encountered my own mirror image in the Mirror World, but that guy wasn't as friendly as yours. We only just finished fighting. Now I just want to rest for a while." Luo Yuan shook his head, and the remaining light in his hand gathered together, transforming into an energy blasting gun, which he fired into the air.

boom!

With this shot, a two-meter-tall, strangely shaped stone coffin flew from the horizon and landed above Luo Yuan's head.

"See you later," Luo Yuan said as a final word, before transforming into a beam of light and rushing into the Stone Wings, guided by them.

After Luo Yuan entered, Stone Wing flew directly into the sky, its destination unknown.

Chapter 356 The Abnormal Machines That Will Soon Appear with the Zi-O Watch

Midnight.

The Stone Wing flew out of the Meta Domain and landed above Luo Yuan's villa. Then, a beam of light shot out from the Stone Wing, piercing through the house and shining into the interior of the villa.

In the living room, the light entering the villa transformed into Luo Yuan's image. At this moment, his face still showed signs of fatigue, but he had recovered considerably compared to before.

Stone Wings can only heal physical injuries, but mental injuries can only be healed through sleep and other methods.

"Uh... Phew, I'm back..." Luo Yuan shook his head to clear his mind, then went up the stairs to the second floor and entered his usual room.

He placed the black watch with some red stripes that he was still clutching on the bedside table, and then collapsed onto the bed. He desperately needed a good night's sleep, and at this point, he didn't care about the system notification sound that had been playing earlier.

"…………" A few minutes later, Luo Yuan fell asleep to the soothing songs that seemed to comfort his soul.

On the windowsill, Meloeta sat there, humming a soothing lullaby.

The night passed quietly like that.

…………

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Luo Yuan then slowly woke up. Through sleep and Meloetta's singing, his spirit had recovered to its peak.

"Ah... phew..." Luo Yuan yawned, got out of bed, saw Meloetta sleeping on the pillow next to him, smiled, covered it with the blanket, picked up the watch from the bedside table, left the room, went back to the first floor, took the elevator to the underground laboratory, and sat down at the experimental table.

I began to examine the black watch.

This item was obtained after he defeated his mirror image in his golden youth form; it is the watch of Nexus Ascended Youth.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yuan took out the Nexus Watch he used for transformation and placed the watch from his ascended youth form on the watch from his childhood form.

The next second, a magical scene occurred: the Rising Youth watch turned into a black and red light and merged into the Childhood watch. This also meant that Luo Yuan could directly transform into the Rising Youth using the Childhood Rider Watch.

After putting the watch away, Luo Yuan picked up a black and white watch from the lab table next to him. The image on it was none other than Kamen Rider Zi-O's. That's right, it was Kamen Rider Zi-O's watch.

After Zi-O transformed into Zi-O II, at the point in time when Luo Yuan returned to the real world through the golden youth, the system had already completed the sign-in, and the reward was this Zi-O initial form watch.

"Is the reward for the creation of Zi-O II the Zi-O watch...? If that's the case, then the way to obtain the Geiz watch must be similar." Luo Yuan pondered.

Now that Zi-O II has been born and Another Ryuga has been defeated, it should be time for the third rider to appear, forming the resurrected Geiz.

…………

A few days later, it was another early morning.

Luo Yuan strolled leisurely by a lake, with Dream and Meloetta following him in stealth mode. One perched on Luo Yuan's head, emitting mischievous grins, while the other sat on Luo Yuan's shoulder, humming a newly composed tune.

As they walked to a bench, Luo Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Is there something you need from me, Miss Timebreaker?"

“Swartz said he has a trump card, which he described as a power that even Zi-O II and the yet-to-be-born Resurrected Geiz could not withstand.” A figure dressed in silver emerged from nowhere; it was Aura.

"So what? If that's all there is to it, I would have known long ago." The so-called trump card is either the Another Zi-O watch, which is relatively recent, or Another Decade, which will not be born for some time.

Speaking of Kamen Rider Decade, Luo Yuan suddenly remembered something. Didn't Tsukasa Kadoya say that the Man of Beginning was looking for him? So much time has passed, and the Man of Beginning hasn't come looking for him. Could it be that Tsukasa Kadoya was just fooling him?

After observing Luo Yuan's thoughtful expression for a while, Aura realized that what he said might actually be true!

Doesn't that mean my plan to pique Nexus's interest and make him my king has fallen through again?!

Aura's expression changed several times, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Then, she used her power to drive time to quickly leave the area.

"Hmm, she's already gone?" Luo Yuan raised an eyebrow. He sensed that Aura had quickly left, so he decided to ignore her and continue strolling along the lake to relax.

As they strolled around, around nine o'clock, Luo Yuan arrived at the 9-to-5 Hall.

At this moment, Tokiwa Junichiro, with a square scarf tied around his head, was cleaning. Upon seeing the newcomer, he greeted him warmly, "It's Luo Yuan! Why don't you come in and have a seat?"

“Mr. Junichiro, I’m here to see Sougo.” Luo Yuan politely declined and then explained his purpose.

"Looking for Sougo? He's not here right now; he went to take a makeup exam today," Tokiwa Junichiro said.

Luo Yuan nodded, walked into the living room, and after looking around, he saw a worn-out little robot toy on a cabinet against the wall not far away. Luo Yuan walked over, picked it up, and turned it over. He saw that there was a line of words written on the back of the little robot with a thick marker.

WILL BE THE KING

Now that this robot has appeared here, it seems that the appearance of alien machines is not far off.

As for now... we'll have to wait until Sougo finishes his make-up exam.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sougo sat confidently in the exam room, but after seeing the exam paper, his confident smile vanished. Why? He couldn't predict the questions or the answers!

The result of this make-up exam is self-evident...

…………

In the afternoon, Zhuang Wu, with a headscarf tied around his head bearing the words "Victory is certain," sat at the dining table, looking distressed as he worked on a test and memorized the answers. On the table was another test paper with a score of 14.

"It's good that you have a second chance to retake the exam. You should focus on studying hard, since you're almost not going to graduate anyway." Tokiwa Junichiro placed a cup of coffee next to Sougo's right hand and encouraged him.

Luo Yuan was sitting on the sofa, looking at Zhuang Wu's current rote memorization, and shook his head and smiled.

How could anyone possibly memorize it if they did it this way?

As expected, about five minutes later, Sougo collapsed into the exam paper, and you could vaguely hear him snoring.

Chapter 357 Nishinki Narento

Luo Yuan approached Zhuang Wu's side, and looking at the sleeping Zhuang Wu, an idea popped into Luo Yuan's mind: "Let's give it a try!"

With that thought, Luo Yuan transformed his body into light particles, which surged into Zhuang Wu's body and flowed all the way to his mind.

But the next moment, a mist appeared in Luo Yuan's vision, but the mist disappeared in the next second.

What came into view was a wide asphalt road and a few old houses. At first glance, there was no sense of modernity, and it even felt like the houses were more than ten years older.

"It looks...it seems to have succeeded..." Luo Yuan muttered to himself as he looked around at his surroundings. Not far from him, Zhuang Wu, who had been studying hard, got up from the ground and looked around with a puzzled expression.

Behind Sougo is a small shop not far away, with some childhood snacks and toys displayed at the entrance.

This is the year 2121 in the original history.

"Hey, senior, you're here too. Do you know where this place is?" Sougo was still a little confused. Not long ago, he was studying hard at home.

Luo Yuan just smiled and didn't answer. He walked to the small shop, picked up a colorful stick from a small wooden jar, and judging from the feel of it, it should be real.

"Hey, I feel like I've seen these somewhere before when I was a kid?" Sougo's attention also shifted. After browsing the wooden table for a while, he picked up a small red stick and asked the person next to him, "Hello, I'd like to buy this."

"Okay." An elderly woman in a down jacket walked out of the house with a smile on her face, but after observing Zhuang Wu for a moment, she asked a question that left Zhuang Wu completely baffled: "Young man, are you a robot or a human?!"
