Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 424 Hating crimes, but not people—that's the style of the Kamen Riders in this city.

Now that they know the weakness of the weather dopant, all they need to do is keep forcing it to switch abilities, and then seize that brief window of opportunity to defeat it.

"Kihiko, you're the fastest, so the decisive blow is up to you," Shotaro said, turning to Nasca.

"Okay, leave it to me." Nasca nodded.

"Ichigo, Terui, Oya-san!" Before Shotaro Hidari could finish speaking, W charged towards the Weather Dopant, wielding the Prism Holy Sword and slashing it down at the Weather Dopant.

Accel followed closely behind, wielding the engine blade, while Skull drew his skull magnum and fired several shots at the weather dopant, providing cover for W and Accel's advance.

"Hmph!" The Weather Mixture snorted coldly as it looked at W and Accel charging toward it. With a wave of its hands, two chilling blasts of air shot out from its palms, freezing several incoming purple light bullets into ice crystals, which continued their relentless attack on W and Accel.

Even before these two chilling gusts of air got close, a layer of frost had already crept onto W and Accel's skin.

Steam!

Accel pried open the engine blade, took out the engine memory, and installed it. A raging flame ignited from the engine blade, and the heat that spread melted away the frost on W and his body.

At the same time, Accel strode forward and unleashed a sword strike from a distance, sending a surging heatwave crashing into the cold air emitted by the weather hybrid.

"laugh!"

The heat wave and the cold air collided in mid-air with a hissing sound, and billowing white smoke rose continuously from the center of the impact, spreading rapidly in all directions and obscuring W and Accel's figures.

"Drink!" W burst out of the smoke, wielding the Prism Holy Sword and slashing it down at the Weather Dopant.

Weather Mix took a step back, dodging W's sword strike, and simultaneously raised his hand, unleashing a thick crimson lightning bolt from his palm towards W.

Seeing this, W immediately held the Radiant Shield in his left hand in front of him to block the lightning bolts that the Weather Hybrid was about to strike.

At the same time, Skull also pulled out the skull memory and inserted it into the special attack slot on the right side of his belt.

"Skull! Maximum Drive!"

"Taku!" Skull pressed down on his hat, then leaped up and delivered a simple knight's kick towards the weather hybrid.

"Zero!"

Seeing Skull kicking towards it, the Weather Dopant switched its memory ability again and reached out to grab Skull.

The weather-manipulated entity raised its hand, grabbed Skull's foot which was burning with purple flames, and absorbed the energy of the Knight Kick that Skull had unleashed.

Although Zero's ability can even steal the opponent's stamina, Skull enters a state of suspended animation after transforming, so stamina is not a limitation for Skull.

"Super high speed!"

At that moment, Nasca seized the opportunity and activated its super-speed attack, arriving behind the Weather Dopant. The Nazca Sword in its hand slashed directly at the Weather Dopant's back.

"Electric!"

Accel burst out of the thick fog, brandishing its electric-sparkling engine blades and slashing at the weather dopant.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" The Weather Doppelganger sneered. After pushing Skull aside, it grabbed the blades of Nasca and Accel with both hands, absorbing all the energy from the Nasca Holy Sword and the Engine Blade.

"What?!" Nasca and Accel exclaimed in surprise.

"Your power is too weak!" The Weather Doppelganger sneered, and a chilling aura emanated from its body. Nasca and Accel, who were closest to the Weather Doppelganger, were instantly covered with a thick layer of frost under the onslaught of the cold air.

Then, the weather hybrid kicked Nasca and Accel away one by one.

"Kirihiko! Terui!" Shotaro couldn't help but shout as he saw Nasca and Accel being kicked away.

"We're fine!" Although Accel and Nasca were covered in a thick layer of frost, they were not seriously injured; their bodies were just frozen stiff.

"You bastard!" Shotaro Sakai flung aside the Prism Holy Sword and the Radiant Holy Shield in his hands, then rushed forward and slammed his right fist, which was wrapped in a green whirlwind, at the Weather Dopant.

"Shotaro, be careful! Zero's ability can absorb all energy, even physical strength! Don't let his hand touch you!" Philip quickly warned.

"As long as we don't get caught, it should be fine," said Shotaro Sato.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already rushed in front of the weather dopant and threw a punch at it.

Instead of retreating, the weather admixture advanced, raising its hand to grab W's right fist.

W shifted one step to the right, dodging the weather doppelganger's outstretched right hand, and then slammed his right fist into the weather doppelganger's chest.

"Whoa!" The weather hybrid took a punch to the chest from W and couldn't help but take several steps back.

"Whoa!" W's left fist, burning with purple flames, followed closely behind, striking the Weather Dopant's chest again, sending it flying and knocking down a pillar.

At the same time.

Accel shakily reached out and squeezed the brake on the Accel drive lever.

"Accel!"

"Accel!"

"Accel!"

The three announcements and the roar of the engine echoed in the hall. Accel released the brakes on the Accel drive and then reached out to twist the other grip.

"Accel! Maximum Drive!"

Accel slowly stood up from the ground, his entire body engulfed in flames. The rolling heat melted away the frost on his skin, and the temperature in the entire hall began to rise.

Triple-powered ultimate driving force!

"Haa!" Accel shot out and arrived in front of the Weather Dopant in an instant, then turned around and delivered a roundhouse kick to the Weather Dopant.

Although the weather dopant took two punches from W, the actual damage to him was not significant.

As soon as the weather doppelganger got up from the ground, Accel kicked at it. The weather doppelganger opened its right palm and caught Accel's right foot.

Not only was the energy from the Knight's Kick absorbed, but his right leg also lost all feeling.

However, Accel did not panic at all, and simply turned the handle on the right side of the Accel driver with his left hand.

In an instant, a surge of energy erupted from Accel's body, a flame reignited on his right leg, and he regained his strength.

"Drink up!" Accel leaped up again, delivering a powerful roundhouse kick aimed at the weather-mixing agent's chest.

"What?!" the weather hybrid exclaimed in astonishment.

Why did I recover so quickly after Zero absorbed my energy and stamina?

This is Accel's special ability.

During battle, turning the handle of the Accel Driver can boost the energy of the memory, thereby supplying power to various parts of the body.

"Despair is your end!" Accel launched a flying roundhouse kick, sending the Weather Doppelganger flying.

"Whoa!" The weather hybrid screamed in agony as it was sent flying backward.

But that wasn't the end of it. After kicking the Weather Dopant away, Accel charged forward again and kicked out, striking the Weather Dopant hard in the chest.

"Boom!"

The weather-mixed entity crashed into the wall, creating a large hole, before falling down and rolling on the ground.

After the triple ultimate drive, Accel also fell from the sky, and his knight armor was completely destroyed and dissipated.

Meanwhile, Terui Ryu collapsed to the ground, covered in wounds; even the Triple Ultimate Driver was too much for him to handle.

"Terai!" Shotaro Zuo shouted.

"Don't worry about me, go after that guy!" Terui Ryu said.

"Alright!" W turned and rushed out through the gap in the wall. Looking at the weather hybrid clutching his chest and struggling to get up from the ground, Shotaro said, "Philip, take care of him."

As he spoke, W reached out and closed the Ultimate Memory at his waist, and colorful data streams flowed across the surface of the crystal server in the center of W.

"Extreme! Maximum Drive!"

Then, W pushed open the Ultimate Memory, and the silver-white windmill spun rapidly, absorbing the surrounding air and forming a surging tornado in front of it. Then, enveloped in the emerald green whirlwind, W flew up and kicked the weather dopant below.

"Boom!"

The weather dopant that was kicked by W exploded with a bang, and the flames of the explosion spread out, engulfing W's figure.

"Did it work?" Nasca asked, standing in front of the hole in the hall wall and looking at the explosion below.

"What a pity, you kicked an illusion." As the flames dissipated, the weather hybrid appeared unharmed to the side, chuckling.

"But I think I just kicked you," said Shotaro, looking at the mixed weather.

"Ugh!" Electricity suddenly crackled across the Weather Doppelganger's surface. The Weather Doppelganger staggered back two steps, then clutched its chest and said, "Looks like I didn't completely dodge it. Extreme is indeed powerful. However, I've got what I needed, so I'm not playing with you anymore."

As the weather hybrid spoke, it suddenly raised its hand and pointed, and a crimson lightning snake struck down from the sky, creating countless sparks on the ground and obscuring its figure.

By the time the smoke cleared, the weather contaminants had long since disappeared.

"What does he need? What is it?" Philip asked, puzzled.

"Well, who knows?" said Shotaro Sato.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud bang came from the hotel behind W, startling Shotaro.

"Huh? What happened now?" W looked back and saw the zoo hybrid crashing through the hotel wall, flapping its wings and fleeing in panic.

"I almost forgot about this guy," said Shotaro Hidari, looking at the back of the zoo hybrid.

With that, Shotaro Hidari inserted Luna Memory into the special attack slot on the right side of his belt.

"Luna! Maximum Drive!"

W raised his hand, and the ring-shaped bracer on his right arm stretched out like an electromagnetic rope, wrapping around the ankle of the Zoo Doppelganger that was trying to fly away in mid-air. W was also lifted into the air by the Zoo Doppelganger.

Seeing W being taken away by the Zoo Dopant, Nasca and Skull also pulled out their memories and deactivated their transformations.

Narumi Shokichi looked at Sudo Kirihiko with a faint smile and asked, "Kirihiko-kun, Sasshi Buridana. I heard you're now Shotaro's assistant?"

"Yes, consider it atonement for the sins I committed in the past," said Sudo Kirihiko.

"It's good that you have this intention." Narumi Shokichi patted Sudo Kirihiko on the shoulder, then stepped forward to Terui Ryu, bent down to help him up, and said, "Let's go back."

"Yes!" Sudo Kirihiko quickly followed.

After Narumi Shokichi and Sudo Kirihiko left, A2 arrived at the messy hall, picked up a shimmering crystal server fragment from the ground, and then suddenly disappeared.

"Doctor." A2 handed the crystal server fragments she had picked up to Shen Yun.

"Not bad." Shen Yun looked at the crystal server fragment in A2's hand, nodded in satisfaction, and put it into the container.

"We've gained quite a lot this time."

He collected a large amount of data on the prototypes of the Gale Ace Ultimate and the Omniscient Memory, as well as the most important fragments of the Crystal Server.

With these, he can now fully perfect the omniscient and omnipotent memory.

At that time, he will be able to replace Gatoshun and appear as the final boss of W.

……

After Shen Yun and A2 left, a heavy, dull thud suddenly came from a corner of Zishan, followed by a cloud of dust.

Before long, it turned into a cloud of billowing black smoke mixed with firelight.

Windy Coast.

Having just defeated the Zoo Dopant, W heard the commotion coming from Zishan and couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction from which the noise was coming.

"What happened?" Shotaro asked.

"That's the direction of Zishan. I'm afraid the organization blew up the underground facilities," Philip guessed after taking a look.

Zenkyoji Jun'ei stared intently at the rising black smoke, and for some reason, a slight smile appeared on his face before he quietly collapsed.

At that moment, W also reached out and closed the W Driver, deactivating the transformation.

The Extreme memory detached from the belt, and W immediately split from a single entity into two people.

Philip glanced at Jun-young, who was lying on the ground twitching slightly, and suddenly said, "He probably feels relieved."

"Hmm?" Shotaro looked at Philip with a puzzled expression.

"I mean, the meaning behind Zenkoji Toshihide's smile just now. Perhaps while he was colluding with the organization and expanding his own desires, he also vaguely regarded it as a burden deep down. So, seeing the underground facilities burned down, he probably felt relieved," Philip explained.

Upon hearing this, Shotaro gazed thoughtfully at the sea, then adjusted his hat, took a breath of sea air, and said, "What a fool. He's so old, yet all he does is worry about pointless things, even though he's already inherited such a precious treasure from his ancestors..."

After being told this by Shotaro, Philip turned his head and gazed at the scenery that Zenkyoji Yoshizo had once loved so much, and then praised, "That's right, what a fool."

Soon, a police siren blared.

Watching Zenkyoji Toshihide being led away, Shotaro Hidari adjusted his hat and said, "Let's go back too, partner."

"Okay." Philip nodded and followed Shotaro Sato away from the Futo Coast.

Defeating enemies, saving criminals' lives, and resolving incidents simply by destroying memories, then leaving everything else to the police to handle, ensuring that the crimes are punished. Hating crime, but not people—that's the Kamen Rider's style in this city.
