Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

At that very moment, time seemed to stand still.

Ur imbued himself with the power of time and appeared before the Otherworldly Luna Rider. "Come with me and leave this place, now!"

"You!" Before Another Luna could finish speaking, a fluctuation appeared in the Another Rider Watch inside her body, forcibly controlling her body and causing her to flee with Ur.

"Did they get away?" Luo Yuan looked in the direction where the little blue dwarf had led the bat monster away, but he didn't intend to chase after them. He would run into them again sooner or later.

"Ah, as expected, once the senior makes a move, we're basically out of the picture." Sougo took off his Rider Watch and deactivated his transformation, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Gates' feelings were also complicated, as he hadn't contributed much this time either.

The two exchanged a glance and made up their minds: they would continue training, but they absolutely could not ask their senior (Nexus) to train with them again. That wasn't training; it was a dismemberment scene!

"Hmm...?" Luo Yuan suddenly frowned, looking down at his left hand. Wisps of black energy were surging within it. This was...

He took out his Decade watch, summoned the Aurora Veil, stepped inside, and returned to his laboratory.

"What's wrong with Senior?" Zhuang Wu noticed Luo Yuan's unusual behavior, but he couldn't think of anything that could cause trouble for this senior.

"Could it be that he went to chase after the Another Rider?" Gates guessed.

"That's unlikely. Senior doesn't seem to have ever actively hunted down a certain type of knight." Sougo shook his head.

…………

A park with few people.

As soon as the Another Moon Rider was brought here, her body trembled and she exited the Another Rider state. Her eyes scanned the surroundings and finally landed on Ur, who was panting heavily at the moment.

"Where is this? Why did I come here with you?" Kitajima Yuko asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Queen? Aura is right. This powerful desire is something else." Ur looked at Kitajima Yuko. This contractor was probably the easiest to deal with. The previous ones had to be instilled with the desire and will to become king.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question! How dare you think about other things? You're just a lowly servant, remember that!" Kitajima Yuko's words were full of arrogance, and her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Ur.

Did she escape from that guy's sight?!

I was brought here by this servant using some unknown means!

Chapter 475 The Evolution of the Power of Conflict

"Hey, stop being so narcissistic. Have you forgotten that the power you have is a gift from us? If it weren't for us, you'd probably still be in that prison." Ur mocked, but before he could finish speaking, Kitajima Yuko, who had been pushed to her limit, rushed up to him and slapped him across the face.

Ur took a step back, and the next moment he appeared a few meters away. Looking at Kitajima Yuko, whose face was pale, he frowned and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "What a madman."

This is the first time that contractors have actually attacked the person who gave them their power.

"You lowly servant, how dare you disrespect the Queen!" Kitajima Yuko felt a surge of anger. She stepped on the edge of a nearby manhole cover, which lifted up on the other side. Kitajima Yuko grabbed the manhole cover and threw it at Ul.

Ur barely had time to react; he only managed to turn his head to the side when the manhole cover grazed his face, and blood seeped from the spot where it had been.

"Damn it!" Ur raised his hand to touch the wound on his face, and then saw the bloodstains on his hand, which ignited his anger.

“It is fate that has bestowed this power upon me; you are nothing but a lackey!” Kitajima Yuko said with a sneer, then turned and left.

“How interesting. Aura really found an interesting contractor.” Swartz sat on a bench not far away, holding a sweet treat in his hand.

"Swartz, are you just going to stand there and watch?!" Ul noticed the sudden appearance of the extra person and his face immediately darkened.

"Calm down, Ur. Want some ice cream?" Swartz took out another ice cream cone and handed it to Ur.

"Damn it! That crazy woman!" Since it was free, Ul grabbed the ice cream cone from Swartz and took a vicious bite.

…………

Underground laboratory and training room.

At this moment, the room was filled with particles of white and black. In the center of the room, a figure was kneeling, looking as if in great pain.

"Damn it! The powers... are clashing!" Luo Yuan clutched his chest with one hand, white and black particles constantly surging out of his body, devouring and consuming each other, as if they would not stop until they destroyed the other.

"Mello!"

"Meow!"

Two anxious cries came from outside the training room door.

"Don't come in!... Be good, wait outside for a while! I'll be fine..." Luo Yuan panted, stopping the two little ones from trying to enter the room to check.

Although he retained some light power mixed with dark power in his body when he first used the power of Tiga Dark Type, he was ultimately unable to stop the conflict between the two powers.

For some unknown reason, the power of darkness rapidly grew and began to devour the power of light. The power of light, however, did not sit idly by but instead launched a counterattack against the power of darkness.

The conflict between these two forces also affected Luo Yuan's current state.

"...Huff! Huff! Huff!" Luo Yuan's breathing became more and more rapid. The two forces collided, and from the beginning he felt nothing, now his body felt as if it was being torn apart.

"No... this won't do! My body will explode if this continues!" Luo Yuan tried to control the two forces, but they seemed to have a mind of their own. When they noticed that a third party was about to intervene, they intensified the conflict and made his body even more chaotic.

As the conflict intensifies, Luo Yuan's body, which initially passively released light and dark particles, is now showing cracks, as if it will shatter at any moment.

"I...I can't hold on any longer!" Feeling his body gradually losing sensation, Luo Yuan felt that the situation was terrible. But then he saw the Nexus watch lying on the ground and suddenly remembered something.

Ultraman Noa and Dark Zagi initially appeared to be one entity, but later split into two individuals for some reason.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuan struggled to reach out and grab the watch in the distance that was flashing a dim light, and pressed the activation button. "I hope I didn't make a mistake!"

The second after pressing the watch activation button, Luo Yuan could no longer hold on. His hand fell limply to the ground, and the cracks on his body became even more numerous due to his loss of consciousness.

"Nexus Golden Youth!"

The moment the watch was activated, the light particles, which were already stronger than the dark particles, became even more active. As the power was activated, it gradually flowed back into Luo Yuan's body. However, this time the armor did not appear. Instead, Luo Yuan's body changed. His human body gradually turned into specks of light and then reformed into a silver-gray body.

As this change occurred, dark particles surged back into the regenerating body.

At this moment, the two particles seemed to have reached a state of peace, jointly accelerating the changes in the body, and it was unclear how long this process would take.

…………

Nine to five hours a day.

At that moment, news of Kitajima Yuko's prison break was being broadcast on television.

"It's unbelievable. Such a nice-looking young girl committing murder. I'm going to prepare dinner. You guys chat." Tokiwa Junichiro glanced at the TV, sighed, and went into the kitchen. The others were deep in thought and didn't join in on Tokiwa Junichiro's conversation.

During this period, Sougo was already almost out of breath from being specially trained by his seniors, so he had no mood to reminisce about the past like the original timeline.

Watching the prison break news on TV, Tsukuyomi took out her tablet and quickly found what she was looking for after searching. "Found it! Look at this trial record. This is a case from 2015. The defendant, Kitajima Yuko, was 24 years old at the time."

Everyone glanced at the date of the incident, which was April 10, 2015.

"The charges are murder, abandonment of a corpse, intentional injury, and violence!"

“Kitajima Yuko might be planning to attack those who wrongfully imprisoned her,” Tsukuyomi speculated.

"I can understand her feelings. No one wants to be wrongly accused." Zhuang Wu nodded with great feeling. After all, he himself was now carrying a huge burden, one that he couldn't shake off no matter what.

"Judging from the situation we encountered today, the other party is indeed not mentally sound. If they were stimulated to a certain extent and developed extreme thoughts, it is not impossible that they would have committed murder." Gates' expression did not change. After all, in the era of 2068, people with mental instability were not uncommon.

“Let’s investigate the time frame of that murder, Gates. It won’t change anything, but if she’s truly innocent, it can clear her name,” Sougo suggested.

“Alright, let’s go see for ourselves. If she’s not innocent, then we won’t hold back next time we encounter her.” Gates nodded.

The two reached a consensus and immediately set off, riding the Time Demon Machine towards the point in time when the incident occurred.

Chapter 476 Garuru was not wronged

"Those two are getting more and more in sync. Woz, aren't you coming along? Your status as the number one retainer in Sougo's works might be taken away by Gates." Tsukuyomi teased Woz.

"It's something to celebrate that His Majesty the Demon King has gained another capable lieutenant," Woz replied with a smile. Gates posed no threat to his position in His Majesty the Demon King's heart.

…………

April 10, 2015, the day the incident occurred.

night.

Under a pavilion, a woman in a floral dress sat on a bench, looking at the lake and enjoying the night view.

Behind a patch of vegetation not far from the pavilion, Sougo and Gates arrived. After confirming that the incident had not yet occurred, they crouched down behind the bushes to observe the situation in the distance.

"Is this the place? The scene of the incident."

"Gates, I feel like we're suspects hiding like this."

"Zi-O, shut up. We returned to this point in time to investigate the truth." Geiz rolled his eyes at Sougo in an annoyed tone. Just then, he seemed to hear something and gestured for Sougo to shut up.

The woman sitting on the bench in the distance also heard the noise and looked around in confusion. Soon she saw a woman in a white coat carrying a manhole cover in both hands walking towards her.

Before the woman could voice her doubts, she saw the woman holding the manhole cover lift it above her head with all her might, unaware of what she was about to face.

"Stop!" Gates roared, trying to rush out to stop this tragedy from happening, but it was too late.

Before the woman could dodge, she was hit by the manhole cover, screamed in pain, and then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!!!" After seeing the woman fall to the ground, the woman put down the manhole cover and laughed inexplicably, as if she was very proud and happy.

At this moment, Gates also saw the woman's face clearly. "Yuko Kitajima, she was not wronged in this murder case at all!"

"We thought she was innocent, but we didn't expect... Next time we meet her, let's go all out!" Zhuang Wu nodded silently. Now that it had been confirmed that she was indeed the murderer, they had nothing more to say.

Not far from the pavilion, another person who witnessed the scene was none other than Kitajima Yuko's current boyfriend, Tetsuya.

Looking at Kitajima Yuko, who looked pleased with herself after killing someone, Tetsuya felt a chill run down his spine, and the bouquet in his hand fell to the ground.

The woman lying unconscious on the ground was his first love, while the woman laughing gleefully in the distance was his current girlfriend.

…………

2019 years.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Amidst the soft, even breathing, the silver-gray figure lying in the training room gradually awoke.

"Where is this... I remember now." As his consciousness returned, Luo Yuan quickly remembered what had happened.

He immediately checked his body, but as soon as he looked down, he was stunned. What he saw was not human hands, but a pair of silver-gray hands, with two arm armors on the forearms.

“Could it be…” Luo Yuan snapped out of his daze, stood up, and walked to a mirror in the training room.

What came into view was not his human form, but a form he was very familiar with.

"Nexus... in this state, it's not armor." Looking at himself in the mirror, he immediately sensed the current state of his body. This appearance was not the form after transforming using the Nexus Watch; rather, it was more like his body had completely evolved into Nexus.
