Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

"Understood." Kiryu Sento nodded seriously. From Luo Yuan's tone, one could tell just how serious this matter was. Tokiwa Sougo also nodded cautiously.

"In that case, let's get ready to go. Sento, go and call Ryuga. Sougo, you too, call Tsukuyomi and Geiz. In this situation, every person counts. We'll meet at an abandoned factory in a bit."

"it is good!"

"Understood, Senior."

Both of them nodded.

…………

An abandoned factory.

At this moment, Luo Yuan and the others have already gathered here.

"Is everyone ready?" Luo Yuan glanced at the group and saw that they all nodded. Then he took out the driver and energy bottle.

Are you ready?

"Transformation."

"Wish switch!"

"Kamen Rider Nexus Junis Blue!"

With a blinding blue-silver light, Nexus the Blue Youth emerged.

"Paragi Armor!"

Nexus raised his right arm, and the silver bracelet on his wrist lit up, then transformed into silver armor that adhered to Nexus's body.

He raised the sword from his right arm and swung it down at the open space in front of him, cleaving a rift in front of everyone.

"Alright, let's go." Luo Yuan turned around and said to the group who had already transformed.

“Hmm.” Build nodded and went in first, followed closely by Croz, then Zi-O and Geiz.

Only Woz and Tsukuyomi remained in place, as they did not have the protection of a knight's power and were left behind to be carried by Nexus.

Nexus placed his hands on either side of their shoulders, and golden energy particles surged from his palms, covering them and forming a protective barrier to resist the forces within the time rift.

Then, Nexus placed his hands on the shoulders of the two of them and stepped into the time rift. After everyone had entered, the entrance to the time rift closed.

…………

A world without knights.

Flames erupted throughout the city, black smoke billowed, and people fled through the streets.

Behind the crowd, a large number of strange people were chasing after them, each holding a weapon and looking for an opportunity to hunt for prey.

But the crises people face don't stop there. In addition to evading the pursuit of the strange people, they also have to guard against the walls that are riddled with holes and may collapse at any time, or the flames that may suddenly burst forth.

In an open space, a crack appeared out of thin air, then widened, and several figures emerged from it.

"Hmm?" Luo Yuan's brows furrowed slightly beneath his mask, a subtle malice lurking beneath...

"This! Is that bastard planning to destroy the world?!" Kiryu Sento took in everything before him, a surge of anger welling up inside him, but he suppressed the urge to rush out and save people.

The situation is too chaotic right now. If everyone rushes to rescue someone who is in danger, this will never end.

Therefore, a strategy must be formulated first. Thinking this, Build Knight turned his attention to Nexus, the meaning of which was self-evident.

“Alright, let’s split up then. Sento, you and Ryuga will go to the enemy’s castle to hold off Teedo from this era, while Sougo and the others will go back to the past to stop Teedo from the past from seizing history. But before that, we need to get a ticket for a specific time.” Luo Yuan said. Build and Croz nodded and headed towards the enemy’s castle.

"Senior, what's the ticket?" Tokiwa Sougo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is hard to explain in a short time. Let's find Hisanaga first." Luo Yuan said, heading towards the point where the energy reaction disappeared when Feng Talos left, with Tokiwa Sougo following behind.

…………

Under a bridge arch.

"As expected, he's here." Luo Yuan spotted Jiu Yongdang sitting on the ground not far away, looking as if he had lost his soul.

"Takeru! Takeru!" Tokiwa Sougo ran over anxiously when he saw that Hisanaga Takeru was not responding at all. He shook his shoulder, but there was still no response.

"Your Majesty, he made a pact with the Otherworldly God, didn't he?" Woz asked.

"Yes." Tokiwa Sougo nodded.

Having obtained the crucial information, Woz closed his eyes, spread his hands, and his consciousness gradually sank into the Earth Library.

When no one visits, the Earth Library is a blank white expanse, devoid of anything. The moment Woz opened his eyes, numerous bookshelves appeared out of thin air and were then arranged neatly.

"The keyword is Otherworldly God," Woz said calmly.

As Woz uttered the keyword, the bookshelves in the Earth Library began a frantic search, eventually leaving only a book that was entirely red with black patterns, bearing the words "Kamen Rider Den-O" in English.

Woz took the book off the shelf and began to read. "This book records that the Otherworldly Gods are monsters from the future, but they must complete a contract with humans in order to cross time through human memories."

"So that's how it is. The Otherworldly God made a contract with Shoichi in order to travel through time, but what's with the idea that you need a ticket with a specific time?" Tokiwa Sougo didn't understand this.

“The contractor seems to have left some interesting clues.” With that, Woz took out a pass called the Knight’s Ticket from the book and stuck it on Hisanaga’s head.

The next moment, the corresponding information appeared on the Knight's Ticket: the monster image of Feng Talos and the date of its journey, January 29, 2000.

Chapter 418 Time Train: Kamen Rider Den-O

"January 29, 2000." Tokiwa Sougo took the Knight ticket from Woz's hand and read the information on it.

"The first Heisei Rider, Kuuga, was born on January 30, 2000. He was born the day before." Woz flipped through the Oma Zi-O calendar and went over Kuuga's information.

"So that's when the Time Jackers acted... As expected, everything makes sense!" Tokiwa Sougo exclaimed excitedly.

"So what should we do next?" Gates asked, puzzled.

“Let’s split up at that time. You and Tsukuyomi will head to the ruins where Kuuga was born, while Sougo and Woz will go to the hospital. As for me… I have some things to take care of. Sougo, give me your Knight Ticket.” Luo Yuan said to Tokiwa Sougo.

Tokiwa Sougo nodded, and then handed the ticket, which looked like a card, to Luo Yuan.

"Senior, can I bring Touya along?" Tokiwa Sougo glanced at Hisanaga Touya, who was still sitting on the ground looking lost.

"Sougo, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing." Luo Yuan shook his head at Tokiwa Sougo. He couldn't let Tokiwa Sougo of this era develop a so-called sense of dependence on him. He had to let him maintain his own opinions.

"I understand." Tokiwa Sougo nodded, then helped Hisanaga Tou up from the ground, and boarded the Time Machine with Woz. Tsukuyomi and Geiz also rode in the same Time Machine, passing through the time tunnel, heading towards the day before Kuuga's birth in 2000.

Luo Yuan was left alone under the bridge, staring at the knight's ticket in his hand.

One of Kamen Rider Den-O's gadgets is the Rider Ticket. With this ticket, you can open any door at any location and board the Time Train.

"Kamen Rider Den-O..." Luo Yuan muttered to himself, then turned and walked toward a nearby door.

…………

Standing in front of a toilet, Luo Yuan walked in through the door and pushed it open. What should have been a squat toilet or a Western-style toilet had been transformed into a world full of sand, with the colorful rays of the sky painting the clouds in a rainbow.

A series of tram whistles sounded, and the tracks automatically spread out on the sand in front of Luo Yuan. The last train, with a slightly strange-looking locomotive, came from nowhere. As it approached Luo Yuan, its speed gradually decreased, and when the train came to a complete stop, the door was exactly opposite Luo Yuan's door at that moment.

The train doors opened, and a woman wearing a train attendant uniform with a white arrow on each side of her trousers waved to Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan nodded, handed the Knight's Ticket to Naomi, the train attendant, and boarded the train. He then walked into the carriage, found a seat, and sat down.

Not far from his position were four different demon gods of different colors and shapes, as well as a man whose body exuded a weak aura.

“Nogami Ryotaro…” Luo Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at the man not far away. Nogami Ryotaro, the Kamen Rider Den-O, was a singularity just like Shingo. But unlike Shingo, this Kamen Rider’s luck was… very bad, as if he was favored by misfortune.

"Hey, why are you staring at Ryotaro like that the moment you got on the bus? Let me make this clear! I'm a...!"

"Is that so?" Luo Yuan spoke before Momotaros could.

"..." Momotaros fell into an eerie silence. Then, the entire Otherworldly God seemed to explode with rage, charging towards Luo Yuan. "Damn it! I only have a few lines! And someone actually stole them! I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"

"Senior! Calm down, calm down!" Urtaros quickly grabbed Momotaros and gestured to Kintaros.

What does that mean? Quintalos looked completely bewildered, not understanding what Puttalos meant at all. After thinking for a moment, his head slumped, and he fell asleep.

Putaros immediately felt a sense of impending doom.

"Fight! Fight!" Lontaros, who was always eager for trouble, shouted from the side, throwing banana peels at the enemy.

"Momotaros, stop right now!" Nogami Ryotaro didn't want to see anyone get hurt because of the Imagin, so he anxiously stopped him.

"...Tch." Momotaros scoffed, but stopped. He had already broken free from Urataros's blockade, and a banana peel had somehow appeared at his feet...

"Get out of the way!" Momotaros shouted.

"Well... this is quite a spectacle," Luo Yuan remarked, then used Mach Movement, his figure blurring into afterimages as he left the path Momotaros had followed after slipping on the banana peel.

Momotaros breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there wasn't much of a person in the aisle.

At that moment, the carriage door opened.

A middle-aged man with neatly combed hair, wearing a dark brown outfit and carrying a cane walked in with a smile on his face.

"No...no way!" Momotaros's expression, which had just relaxed, froze again. If it were just bumping into one passenger, it would be fine; she could just apologize properly. But if she bumped into this person...won't she be kicked off the Time Train...?

“Momotaros…” Nogami Ryotaro turned his head away with a hint of reluctance.

But then, golden particles suddenly appeared, fixing Momotaros and the banana peel beneath his feet in place, rendering them completely immobile.

The train conductor's expression remained unchanged. He turned his head and smiled at Luo Yuan, who had extended his palm. "Very powerful. Welcome aboard the Time Train."

"Yes, I hope to arrive at the excavation site of the Kurodake ruins in Nagano Mountain at 10:00 AM." Luo Yuan stated his desired location and time.

"No problem, please wait a moment." The train conductor, with a smile still on his face, left the carriage with his cane.

After the train conductor left, Rontaros skipped over to Momotaros, who was now restrained, poking and prodding him, and pinching him from time to time, just like a child who had received a new toy.

Although Momotaros's body was immobilized, his consciousness was not. At this moment, being toyed with by Ryutaros, he was furious.

"Is it this kind of energy that froze you, senpai? That's impressive." Urataros stroked his chin, observing the golden particles on Momotaros's body that had immobilized him. He sensed a very unsettling aura emanating from his senpai. How interesting...

Chapter 419 Kuuga Watch

"Um... could you please let Momotaros go? He seems really tired," Nogami Ryotaro said with some concern.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. He won't feel tired in this state," Luo Yuan said gently.

"Is that so..." Nogami Ryotaro breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt that something was not quite right. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Ryotaro! Ryotaro!!!" Momotaros cried out in his heart, frozen in place.

Luo Yuan sat in his seat, looking out the window at the sandy world. As time passed, the Time Train arrived at its destination.
