Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

"Regardless of whether the Other Rider in front of us can use the power of time, he will encounter various obstacles when he tries to use it."

"Oh? So it's you. Perfect, I'll teach you a lesson." Kakogawa Hiryu looked at Geiz with disdain. He was just a lackey of Tokiwa Sougo and nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking this, Kakogawa Hiryu absorbed the Another Zi-O watch he had just obtained, and the watch transformed into an energy body that surged into the Another Zi-O watch.

But at that moment, Kakogawa Hiryu's body suddenly trembled as the memories of the previous Another Faiz, stored in the Another Faiz Watch, flooded into his mind.

It was in an open space.

"crimsonsmash!"

As the sound of this ultimate attack being unleashed rang out, Kakogawa Hiryu found that his first-person perspective had suddenly switched to Another Faiz. Another Faiz was currently in mid-air, his feet glowing with a deep red light, clearly indicating that he was about to unleash his ultimate attack.

Directly above Another Faiz, a crimson Kamen Rider is also unleashing his finishing move, but strangely, his finishing move is almost identical to Another Faiz's.

As the two Crimson Smashes collided, the Crimson Smash from Another Faiz was shattered, while the Crimson Knight's Crimson Smash struck him directly in the chest.

Kakogawa Hiryu suddenly felt a sharp pain spreading from his chest throughout his body. His vision gradually blurred, and he completely lost control of his body, collapsing to the ground. The knight's mark belonging to Faiz appeared on his body, and finally, his body exploded.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, Kakogawa Hiru used his last bit of strength to look at the knight. The knight deactivated his transformation, revealing the man Swartz had told him not to mess with until he had gathered all the powers of the Other Riders.

Chapter 372 Events that happened in that year

"Nexus!!!" With this subconscious roar, Kakogawa Hiryu snapped out of his memories of Another Faiz, clutched his chest, and almost collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

The Knight Kick from Another Faiz's memory was so realistic, it felt like it had actually hit him in the chest, and it even scared him back into human form from Another Exid form.

"Nexus?" Gates paused in his attack, a hint of doubt in his eyes, upon hearing the roar of the person before him.

Nexus shouldn't be here, so why do you look like you've been hit by Nexus's Knight Kick?

"Consider yourself lucky, Tokiwa Sougo's lackey!" Kakogawa Hiryu truly felt a dull ache in his chest at this moment, and transformed back into Another Exide, quickly leaving the area.

"Hey! Stop right there! Who are you calling Zi-O's lackey?!" Geiz roared, his eyes wide.

"Savior, please calm down. Your primary goal now is to defeat the Demon King and change history," White Woz said, seizing the opportunity to fan the flames.

Upon hearing White Woz's words, Gates stared at him silently for a few seconds. Just as he was about to speak, his Faiz X phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Gates took out his phone and glanced at it. The contact was Tsukuyomi. He answered the phone, "Hey, Tsukuyomi, what's up?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tsukuyomi on the other end of the phone combined the information that Luo Yuan had sent her not long ago with some information she had collected herself and repeated it to Gates.

As he listened to the information from Tsukuyomi, Gates's expression kept changing.

White Woz watched his savior's changing expression, not quite sure what had happened.

At this moment, Geiz couldn't hold back any longer and directly repeated Tsukuyomi's words, "What did you say?! The new Another Zi-O's transformation user is called Kakogawa Hiryu? He has Another Zi-O's transformation watch?! He has a grudge against Zi-O?! And he was in a bus accident with Zi-O when they were young? Their parents are both dead?!"

The barrage of information stunned Gates, leaving him completely overwhelmed and unable to process it in a short time.

White Woz's expression was no better after hearing what Gates had revealed. The information contained in those words was far too much. He quickly went to Gates' side and listened carefully to the rest of the information.

However, one thing is certain: it is highly unlikely that Tsukuyomi could have collected so much information in such a short time, and the source of this information is most likely Nexus.

It's terrifying. The new enemy has only been around for a short time, and Nexus already knows so much information.

“I understand. Since the information came from Nexus, it should be quite accurate. Go investigate. I and Zi-O will handle this.” Geiz frowned and took out the blank hourglass-shaped Ridewatch that had not yet been activated.

The message from Nexus that came from Tsukuyomi's side included this: Another Zi-O's power can rival that of Zi-O II without being at a disadvantage.

This also shows that the key to this battle against Another Zi-O is the power of Geiz, who has not yet been activated.

White Woz's expression turned somewhat grim, and he couldn't help but remind him, "Savior, perhaps the Demon King's past is tragic, but please don't forget your responsibility as the savior. How can you face your future teammates who will be killed by Oma Zi-O in this state?"

"What do you mean, White Woz?!" Gates's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Please remember, Savior, your primary goal now is to activate the power of the resurrected Gates. Don't forget, you can't do anything right now; you are the weakest knight in the current situation." With that, White Woz left looking dejected.

Sigh, trying to steer the current savior onto the path he desires is incredibly difficult...

“The weakest knight…” These words struck a heavy blow to Gates’s pride, and he gripped the blank control watch tightly with his five fingers.

However, the blank driving indicator still shows no signs of activation.

…………

In an underground tunnel, Kakogawa Hiryu leaned against a wall, panting. His breathing gradually calmed down, and the pain gradually disappeared.

"Could it be that the memories of Faiz being defeated by Nexus in the past have been incorporated into this power...?" Kakogawa Hiryu stood up and punched the wall behind him, his face very gloomy.

"Why! Why are you always targeting me, Nexus?!"

Amidst his furious roar, Hiryu Kakogawa, relying on the power of the Another Zi-O Watch, sensed a contractor nearby who had once been an Another Rider. A sinister smile appeared on Hiryu Kakogawa's face as he walked toward the direction he sensed.

"I need power! I need immense power! How could a mere Nexus possibly stop me?! I am the king of the new world!"

"What a terrifying desire! It can activate the power of the Another Watch so continuously. Perhaps I can make use of this power after I obtain the power of the Decade." Swartz emerged from the shadows after Kakogawa Hiryu left, his expression quite calm.

In his vision, the Another Zi-O Watch was constantly releasing its power, but unlike the Another Wizard Watch potential that he had forcibly released with the life force of the contractor, this power was constantly raising Kakogawa Hiryu's power to a new peak.

"However... why is the power of Another Rider mixed with memories of being defeated by Nexus? And why is it directly reflected in Kakogawa Hiryu?"

Swartz pondered, but ultimately couldn't figure it out. However, he noticed the commotion outside the tunnel.

Swartz strode out of the tunnel, and there he saw a silver-white Time Machine flying into the time tunnel from the sky.

…………

2009 years.

A tour bus was parked at the station, and many parents with their children boarded the bus next to the strawberry picking notice board.

Eight-year-old Sougo ran anxiously toward the bus.

Behind Sougo, Sougo's father said with a smile, "Sougo, slow down, be careful not to fall."

"But if we don't hurry, we'll miss the bus!" Little Zhuangwu pointed at the bus, a look of anxiety on his face.

"Sougo, you're such an impatient person." Sougo's mother and father stood side by side, exchanged a glance, and teased each other.

"No way, let's go eat strawberries!" Xiao Zhuangwu shyly grabbed his parents' hands and pulled them towards the bus.

Chapter 373 The Candidates for King

Not long after Sougo's family boarded the bus, a silver-white Time Machine descended from the horizon.

A few minutes later, Tsukuyomi hurriedly boarded the bus, and as soon as she got on, she heard Sougo's impatient voice, "Dad, why isn't the bus leaving yet?"

"Right away, right away."

"Please be quiet and sit down to eat, okay?" Zhuang Wu's mother said with a smile.

"Daddy, I want to eat lots and lots of strawberries!"

Not far from Sougo's family, a young Kakogawa Hiryu excitedly held up a promotional poster and spoke to his parents.

"Hiryu, don't overeat." Hiryu's mother gently pinched Hiryu's cheek.

After glancing around, Tsukuyomi sat down, completely unaware of the driver next to her with a magenta camera hanging around his neck.

The driver tilted his head, blocking Tsukuyomi's view. After Tsukuyomi sat down, the driver straightened his hat and said, "Passengers, we are departing."

With that, the bus started, and soon it left the station and drove onto a bridge spanning the river.

"What exactly is going to happen?" Tsukuyomi peeked out, looking at the excited children behind her. According to the information Nexus had given her, the bus would be involved in an accident in a few minutes.

The bus was driving smoothly, but just as it was about to cross the river bridge, a man dressed in black and wearing a black hat suddenly walked out in front of the bus and blocked its path.

As the distance drew closer, Tsukasa Kadoya hurriedly honked the horn and slammed on the brakes.

Everyone on the train, including Tsukuyomi, was suddenly thrown forward.

But at that moment, an invisible wave swept by, freezing everyone on the vehicle in place.

The man in black glanced at the front of the car, then casually adjusted his hat brim, revealing his face – it was Swartz from 2009.

"You've all accepted my invitation and come." Swartz looked at the bus in front of him and smiled with satisfaction. The future King of Time would be born in this bus. He opened the door and stepped inside.

"Candidates for the King." Swartz ignored the adults after getting on the bus and instead looked at the children.

"Swartz? Why?" Tsukuyomi's face was full of confusion as she looked at Swartz, who was ignoring her.

"The king who transcends time and space, who knows the past and the future, the one who is qualified to be king, is among you children born in 2000." With that, Swartz stretched out his hand toward the driver's seat, releasing an invisible energy that instantly dispelled the time force that had kept the bus stationary, but then added another force.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Tsukasa Kadoya rested his chin on his hand, listening to Swartz's words with boredom. But then he noticed that the scenery around him was constantly receding. After observing for a moment, he gripped the steering wheel and tried to step on the brake, but the brake had already stopped working.

Meanwhile, Swartz, the instigator, leisurely walked to the middle seat in the last row, crossed his arms, and put his legs up, saying, "You shall accept the trial of life and death!"

The bus, out of control, veered wildly down the road. Tsukasa Kadoya tried to control it, but it was no use. The brakes, steering wheel, and accelerator were all malfunctioning, and the bus continued to hurtle forward.

But as this scene unfolded, Zhuang Wu and Fei Liu's father were far from calm. Their children and wives were all in the car, and the two of them walked up to Swartz and shouted, "Who are you!"

What are you going to do to my child?!

"I won't allow you to have any objections." Swartz said calmly, and with a gentle push of his left hand, a purple light shone from his left hand, and the two of them flew out, but the next second they were frozen in mid-air by the power of time.

It wasn't just the fathers of Sougo and Hiryu who were affected by time stop; the parents of other children were also affected.

"Dad! Mom!" Sougo shouted anxiously when he saw his parents standing still. The other children did the same. Sougo rushed out of his seat.

He rushed up to Swartz and shouted, "What do you want?!"

"..." Swartz remained silent, looking at the brat in front of him, and grabbed Sougo by the collar, lifting him up to observe him.

"Let go!" Tsukuyomi couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up, took out her Faiz X phone, switched from phone mode to gun mode, and fired a shot at Swartz.

"Sougo!"

The crimson beam flew toward Swartz, but was blocked by Swartz's hat the next second, hitting the side of Kakogawa Hiryu's position. Kakogawa Hiryu thought he had been hit and was so frightened that he fainted.

"What exactly are you trying to do in this era?" Tsukuyomi asked, pointing her Faiz phone at Swartz.

"You're the one who traveled through time to cause trouble, aren't you? But don't even think about stopping me." Swartz's expression suddenly turned ferocious. He threw away the hat in his right hand and slapped Tsukuyomi. A purple shockwave surged out from it, knocking Tsukuyomi to the ground.

After defeating Tsukuyomi, Swartz took all the children on the bus and transformed into a purple ball of light, flying out from the back of the bus and into a time tunnel.

The bus, which was completely out of control and had flames coming from its rear, crashed into a tunnel in the distance.

"Danger!" Tsukuyomi shouted anxiously.

However, Tsukasa Kadoya, still sitting in the driver's seat, remained calm. Just as the flames of the explosion were about to reach the two of them, an aurora curtain appeared in time and engulfed them.
