Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

"Hold on tight, don't drop it. Right now you're giving off the vibe of a weakling. Don't go out and say you're Another Zi-O's user. Even Zi-O can't afford to lose face like that."

Hearing Luo Yuan's words, Kakogawa Hiryu simply lowered his head in silence, looking at the watch on his hand, without saying anything.

"Gates, what happened while I was away? Describe it in detail." Luo Yuan observed Zhuang Wu's condition again; his wounds had basically healed.

"Nexus! Let me finish him off! Zi-O... This guy killed Zi-O! I'm going to avenge that idiot!" He raised the Time Folding Claw in his hand again and walked step by step toward Kakogawa Hiryu.

"This guy killed... Time King?" Luo Yuan frowned slightly, expanded his senses, and then looked in a certain direction, where he saw a white figure running away.

“White Woz…Is that so…” Luo Yuan watched White Woz run away and already had a guess.

At this moment, Kakogawa Hiryu also recovered from his fear, staring at the resurrected Gates with a ferocious expression, the watch on his hand emitting light once more, "You think you can kill me!"

Seeing that these two fools, who were being used, were about to start fighting again, Luo Yuan shook his head, then took out his watch and activated it.

"Nexus the Red Youth!"

Amidst the crimson and silver light, Luo Yuan transformed directly into Nexus Red Youth, without relying on the Time Driver to activate his power.

After completing the transformation, Luo Yuan immediately released his aura illusion, immobilizing the two of them in place.

Chapter 378 The Unabsorbable Alien Knight Watch

"Gates, go check on Sougo. I've already healed his injuries," Luo Yuan said to Gates, who was in his resurrected form, Gale.

Gates, who was frozen in place by the aura illusion, was stunned when he heard these words.

No...nothing's wrong?!

Nexus wouldn't lie to him about something like this, so... Sougo is still alive! The aura that had been threatening to grind Another Zi-O to dust vanished instantly. He couldn't wait to check on that idiot's condition, but he was currently restrained by Nexus's power and couldn't move.

Luo Yuan reached out and dispelled the illusion of the aura that had been placed on Gates.

As soon as the restriction was lifted, Gates arrived at Sougo's side at his fastest speed except for the extended time in Gale Form. He carefully checked Sougo's condition and, just as Luo Yuan had said, Sougo seemed to have simply fallen asleep. There were no wounds on his body. He excitedly hugged the unconscious Sougo and murmured, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

"Their relationship is getting better and better..." Luo Yuan looked at the scene, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Turning his gaze to the other side, he saw Another Zi-O, who was also frozen in place by the illusion of the aura.

"His strength is impressive, already enough to overpower Sougo's Zi-O II, but unfortunately, his intelligence is lacking. He's been manipulated without even realizing it?" Luo Yuan shook his head at the fool in front of him who was being used without realizing it. "Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. So, choose: stay or go?"

As he spoke, Luo Yuan also dispelled the aura illusion he had placed on Another Time-O.

"Go, I'm leaving right now!" Even in fear, Another Zi-O did not hesitate to choose the first option. As for the second one... only a fool would choose it. Stay here and prepare to be subjected to a mixed doubles attack from Geiz and Nexus?

He decisively turned around and fled the place as quickly as possible.

…………

In the distance, Swartz narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly appeared beside Another Zi-O, who was fleeing. He placed a hand on Another Zi-O's shoulder and then disappeared with Another Zi-O.

…………

After escaping the scene, Ur quickly returned to the base where the Time Jackers were temporarily located.

"Ur, what happened? Why are you so flustered?" Aura sat on the sofa, holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice. After taking a sip, she looked at the flustered Ur with a hint of disdain.

"Aura, do you know that Swartz found out the contractor of Another Zi-O?! And that guy even killed Zi-O!" Ul said in a panic.

"Cough cough cough!" Aura had just taken a sip of juice and hadn't even had a chance to swallow it when she almost spat it out. After coughing a few times, she stood up in shock. "Zi-O is dead? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! He died right before my eyes!" Ul crouched down worriedly, scratching his head in frustration. "What exactly is Swartz trying to do? If that Another Zi-O becomes Ohma Zi-O, then everything we've done will have been for nothing!"

All of Zi-O's powers possess the potential to evolve into Oma Zi-O.

In essence, Another Zi-O and Zi-O are actually the same power, therefore Another Zi-O also has the potential to evolve into Oma Zi-O.

"Really dead?!" Aura's wine glass fell to the ground in shock at the news, spilling juice everywhere.

"Right before my eyes, he was shot through the chest by Another Lion King!" Ur described how Zi-O died.

Aura sat down on the sofa, lowered her head, and seemed lost in thought.

But then, Swartz grabbed a young man by the shoulder and returned to the spot.

Both of them widened their eyes when they noticed Swartz and the young man.

"What's wrong with you two?" Swartz frowned slightly, noticing the puddle of water on the floor and the two people with strange expressions.

"Swartz, Zi-O is dead. What are you planning to do today?"

"You instructed Another Zi-O to kill Zi-O?"

Ur and Aura asked at the same time.

Kakogawa Hiryu, who had been brought back by Swartz and whose transformation had been deactivated, stood silently beside Swartz, as if he had lost his own consciousness.

Swartz maintained his usual cold expression, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"What's going on? Could it be that Zi-O wasn't killed by Another Zi-O? Did Ul see wrong?" Aura keenly sensed something was amiss and looked at Ul with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Ul noticed Aura's gaze and looked a little uneasy. "Swartz?!"

"There's a visual error at the angle you're looking at. That fatal blow from Another Zi-O didn't hit Zi-O. But that doesn't matter anymore," Swartz said, taking the Another Zi-O watch from Kakogawa Hiryu's hand and activating it.

The next moment, eight purplish-black rays of light surged out from the Another Zi-O Watch, and then transformed back into the eight Another Rider Watches that had been absorbed by Kakogawa Hiryu earlier.

“The most important thing now is that an unexpected situation occurred when Another Zi-O absorbed the Another Rider Watches. For some reason, the Faiz and Wizard Rider watches have memories of being defeated by Nexus. These two Rider Watches may become ineffective when used to fight Nexus.” As he spoke, Swartz took the Another Faiz and Another Wizard Rider watches out of the eight watches.

The remaining six watches transformed into purplish-black energy and flowed back into the Another Zi-O Watch. Swartz then stuffed the Another Zi-O Watch back into Kakogawa Hiryu.

As if he had lost consciousness and stood there blankly, Kakogawa Hiryu suddenly came to his senses as if waking from a dream.

"So it really is these two watches that's affecting you. You can't absorb their power with just these two, or you'll develop a fatal weakness," Swartz said expressionlessly.

"Swartz, how can I gain even greater power?! I want revenge! I want to become stronger than everyone else!" Kakogawa Hiryu clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with extreme resentment as he recalled the events of not long ago.

“Now is not the time to talk about these things. You, Zi-O, Geiz, and Nexus, the battle to settle your scores should be on the day of Oma Zi-O. Before that day arrives, you need to continue to activate the power within the Another Zi-O Watch.” Swartz glanced at Kakogawa Hiryu and sat down on the sofa.

Kakogawa Hiryu wanted to say something, but seeing Swartz's cold gaze, he swallowed his words and turned to leave.

“Ur…” After watching this scene, Aura looked at Ur with hostility.

Uldon immediately shuddered and quickly left the place, otherwise he might get beaten up by the in a bad mood Ola. Of course, the deeper reason was that he didn't want to face Swartz, that deep-thinking guy.

Chapter 379 Black Woz's Plan

Nine to five hours a day.

After placing Sougo, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, in the room upstairs, Gates went to the living room and chatted with Luo Yuan and Tsukuyomi, who had just returned not long ago, about what had happened recently.

In the living room, Luo Yuan listened to Gates' words and silently glanced out the window.

Outside the window, Black Woz pressed his ear against the wall, eavesdropping on the information inside. But when he heard Luo Yuan say that this incident was very likely caused by White Woz, his face immediately darkened. "That bastard White Woz, how dare he use His Majesty the Demon King to facilitate the birth of the resurrected!"

After separating from Sougo, he kept investigating clues about Another Zi-O and its contractor, Hiryu Kakogawa. He tracked down the clues all the way to 2009, confirmed Hiryu Kakogawa's identity, and also found out that the driver of the car accident that year was Tsukasa Kadoya, the Kamen Rider Decade.

In the living room, Tsukuyomi recounted her investigation, but deliberately obscured some details, leaving only Gates to believe her.

Black Woz had a feeling that Tsukuyomi was hiding something.

"No, I must find a way to obtain the knight power of my other self as soon as possible. Only in this way can I help His Majesty the Demon King and curb the arrogance of my other self." Muttering to himself, Black Woz quickly left.

In the living room.

“Nexus, if it’s that guy, he might eventually choose to forgive him…” Gates’s expression was somewhat complicated.

Since meeting Zi-O, he may not know other things, but he has confirmed one thing: that idiot is kinder and more reliable than anyone else.

If she knew that Another Zi-O was holding a grudge against her because of that car accident years ago, she might be able to pull him back from the brink of despair with her words.

"Don't you understand what kind of person Zhuang Wu is now? It's not just possible, it's a certainty that we will try to bring him back. After all, that's the kind of person we know Zhuang Wu." Luo Yuan said confidently, holding the Chuangqi phone and looking at it.

Now that Zi-O II and Resurrected Geiz have been created, only Kamen Rider Woz, transformed by Black Woz, remains. After that, there is the watch that does not exist in the history experienced by Oma Zi-O, the Zi-O III watch.

“Yes!” Gates nodded seriously. After fighting side by side for so long, he understood that as long as Tokiwa Sougo continued to walk down the path he was determined to follow, he would definitely be able to create the future that they all hoped for.

He has become a very important companion to him!

…………

The rooftop of a tall building.

Ur appeared there, his hands gripping the railing, gazing at the city view, but his face was filled with obvious sorrow.

"If Nexus could shift its attention to Another Zi-O, Swartz's plan would definitely fail." Ul didn't want to see the birth of a second Oma Zi-O, let alone the Oma Zi-O that might be born, especially since it was an Another Rider.

"If that's all you're hoping for, you'll be disappointed. The legendary knight's mind is hard to fathom, and there's more to the story behind the car accident that happened to His Majesty the Demon King and Another Zi-O. The current situation can't be resolved by just one person."

"Perhaps you don't know this, but the reason why His Majesty the Demon King was defeated by Another Time King was entirely due to the interference of another version of myself. If nothing is done, things will develop in the direction that the other version of myself wants."

Black Woz, holding the Oma Zi-O Calendar, walked out from who-knows-where as he spoke.

It's more likely that they'll cooperate with Ur, who is simpler-minded, rather than Aura.

"What do you mean, Woz?" Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, Ur put his hands in his pockets and turned to look.

Now that they could communicate, Wozniacki had confirmed the possibility of cooperating with Ur and began to explain the conclusions he had reached.

"I see..." Hearing Woz's words, Ur's expression grew increasingly serious. "Alright, I'll help you. What do you need me to do?"

"I have a plan..."

…………

A small park.

Kakogawa Hiryu sat on a staircase step with a gloomy expression. In all his years, he had never felt such humiliation. Now, when he recalled how he had chosen to run away without hesitation not long ago, he wanted to grind his past self to dust.

But the problem is, that was the right choice. If he had chosen to stay, he wasn't sure if he would still be sitting here now.

A jumble of thoughts surged through Kakogawa Hiryu's mind, leaving him feeling frustrated. Even more frustrating was Swartz, the one who had given him power, who had no intention of helping him. "Ah!!!"

Kakogawa Hiryu shouted in frustration.

"Are you lamenting your current powerlessness?" Ur suddenly appeared on the scene.

"It's you! What's your plan?!" Kakogawa Hiryu recognized Ul as one of the other two people besides Swartz from that time, and hurriedly grabbed his shoulder. "Quick, tell me! What's your plan? I want to defeat Nexus! I want to defeat Tokiwa Sougo!"

Suddenly, time stopped, and Kakogawa Hiryu was frozen in place.

Ur removed Kakogawa Hiryu's hands from his shoulders, put his hands in his pockets, and said as he walked, "I am Ur, the Time Jacker, one of Swartz's companions. Calm down first."

As soon as he finished speaking, time resumed its flow. After being able to move again, Kakogawa Hiryu excitedly said, "I understand! Tell me quickly what the method is!"
