Am I a Kamen Rider or the real young master who was switched at birth?

Ye Yang took the Imperial Rider's riding card out of the card box, gently tapped the card with his index and middle fingers, and then flicked his wrist to insert the card directly into the belt slot.

He casually gripped the right handle with one hand and violently pushed it towards the middle.

"Henshin".

"KamenRide—Decade!"

The crystal core of the belt exploded with a magenta halo, and nine gray-white knight phantoms simultaneously emerged from the shadows of the grove of trees, then collapsed toward the center in unison.

The magenta armor gradually materialized, and finally the barcode pattern on the top of his head lined up and landed on the Decade's helmet, and his emerald green compound eyes suddenly lit up.

A magenta dimensional shockwave spread violently outwards from Decade, flattening all the surrounding low shrubs and swirling a few withered leaves in mid-air within the magenta halo.

The three boys took a step back at the same time. Just now, in the arena stands, they had witnessed this suit of armor kick Wang Yu out of the energy barrier in a matter of seconds.

The armor was now right in front of them, and its emerald green compound eyes were calmly watching them through the gaps in the tree shadows.

Li Pan was the first to react. He gritted his teeth and roared, veins bulging on his forehead: "What are you standing there for! Get up there!"

His fists clenched tightly, and his entire body hardened in an instant.

Layers of grayish-white rocky armor spread upwards from his neck, quickly covering his entire face and body.

His body expanded dramatically after hardening, making his already plump figure even more imposing, standing in front of his two companions like a moving stone wall.

"Charge!" Li Pan lowered his center of gravity and charged towards the Imperial Cavalry like a boulder launched by a catapult.

At the same time, Qian Bo, who was standing on the far side, raised his hands, and the index fingers of both his hands began to vibrate rapidly at the same time.

The vibration frequency was extremely high, and the air around his fingers was slightly distorted by the interference, emitting a piercing metallic hum, as if someone were scraping a huge steel plate with their fingernail.

He pushed his hands forward, and a visible vibration wave detached from his fingertips, then traveled through the air and crashed straight into the Imperial Knight.

Wherever the vibration wave passed, the air was stirred up in ripples, and the leaves of the shrubs were shaken off the branches.

The Imperial Knight dodged to the side. The shockwave grazed his shoulder armor and struck a large tree behind him.

The trunk of the camphor tree shook violently, and the leaves were shaken to fall down as if swept by an invisible gale.

At the very moment that Decade dodged the shockwave, Li Pan had already rushed in front of him. He lowered his head and aimed his shoulder at Decade's chest, crashing into him like a collapsing stone wall.

Just as Li Pan was about to collide with him, Emperor Knight slightly bent his knees, then leaped into the air, directly over Li Pan's head.

His magenta armor drew a smooth arc in the air before landing steadily on the open ground behind Li Pan.

Li Pan missed his target and, unable to control his momentum, lurched forward several steps before managing to stop.

He turned around and saw that Decade was already standing behind him, letting out an angry groan.

Just then, Zhao Kuan, who was hiding behind, stretched out all ten fingers of his hands at the same time, like two pythons that suddenly sprang out of the grass and coiled around the Imperial Cavalry.

The rubber skin stretched and squeaked as it extended, and his arms snaked through the air at incredible speed, aiming at Decade's arms and torso, ready to bind him tightly.

Kamen Rider Decade tilted his head slightly, his emerald green compound eyes calmly scanning the two rubber arms that were closing in on him through his helmet.

He reached into the card box at his waist and pulled out a card.

He flicked the card lightly on the surface with the tip of his armored fingers, then inserted the card into the belt slot, followed by a violent push of the grip with one hand.

"AttackRide—Invisible!"

A magenta halo lit up the crystal core of the belt, and then Decade's entire figure vanished into thin air in an instant.

Zhao Kuan's rubber arm came to nothing. He tried to grab at the chest of the Imperial Knight with his ten fingers several times in vain, only to grab air and a few falling leaves.

He was stunned for a moment, and before he could retract his arm, the Imperial Knight had already appeared out of thin air behind him.

His crimson armor reappeared through the gaps in the tree shadows, and his emerald green compound eyes calmly gazed at the back of Zhao Kuan's head at extremely close range.

Without pausing, Emperor Knight raised his right foot and kicked Zhao Kuan in the back.

Zhao Kuan was kicked away, his body flipped halfway through the air, and finally crashed into the trunk of a camphor tree next to him.

He let out a muffled groan and slid to the ground, leaving a very clear shoe print on the back of his school uniform.

Qian Bo saw one of his companions easily bypassed and the other kicked away, and knew that if he didn't act soon, he would miss his chance.

He gritted his teeth and pushed the vibration frequency of all ten fingers to the limit at the same time, the ear-piercing metallic buzzing echoing back and forth in the grove.

He prepared to concentrate all his energy into this one strike, and two vibrational waves shot out simultaneously, crossing each other as they hurtled toward Decade, stirring up visible ripples in the air along their path.

Decade reached his right hand into the card case at his waist. He pulled out a card with a dark purple background and the image of Kuuga's Titan Mode armor printed on it between his index and middle fingers.

He lightly tapped the card with his finger, then flicked his wrist, sending the card flying like a dart.

The card spun rapidly in the air, leaving a trail of magenta lines that precisely sliced ​​into Qian Bo's palms.

Qian Bo's vibration wave was abruptly interrupted before it could fully leave his hands, and blood spurted from both of his hands the instant the card was sliced ​​through.

He let out a short scream as a shockwave exploded in his palm. The backlash energy made his fingers tremble violently, and his palm swelled up in a very short time.

After completing the attack in mid-air, the card did not land, but instead drew a smooth arc in mid-air before automatically flying back into the Emperor's hand.

Kamen Rider Decade reached out, firmly pinching the still rapidly spinning card between two fingers, and then looked ahead.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Yang was dealing with Qian Bo, Li Pan readjusted his stance and roared as he charged towards the Imperial Knights once again.

This time, he pushed his petrification ability to the limit. He spread his arms wide during the sprint and crashed into Decade like a stone wall moving at high speed.

Decade did not dodge. He threw the Kuuga Titan Mode card he had just caught into the belt slot, and simultaneously gripped the handles with both hands and pushed them together.

"FormRide—Kuuga Titan!"

Dark purple energy patterns began to appear on the Decade's magenta armor.

The patterns spread from the large white cross on the chest to the entire body, and the magenta armor began to change shape under the dark purple light.

His helmet began to thicken and widen, two golden square horns rose from the top of his head, and his compound eyes switched to dark purple.

The magenta armor on his chest had turned into a thick, square purple shell with clearly visible textures on its surface.

A huge, square purple shoulder guard protruded from his shoulder, almost covering his entire shoulder.

The armor on his arms and legs became incredibly thick, and the silver control rings on his wrists and ankles were a full size larger than in his other forms.

This armor has a very strong biological feel, and the whole thing looks like an ancient behemoth ready to pounce.

Li Pan had already rushed in front of Decade. He lowered his head, aimed his shoulder at Decade's chest, and rammed into him with all his might.

The stone shoulder and the purple breastplate collided with a dull thud, the impact sending all the surrounding fallen leaves flying.

Then Li Pan discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the dark purple figure in front of him remained completely still.

Decade stood firmly on the ground, his feet not even sliding backward a centimeter.

He looked up and met a pair of cold, deep purple compound eyes.

Decade has transformed into Kuuga Titan Mode, Kuuga's melee form specializing in defense and strength.

Those deep purple compound eyes were quietly looking down at him from behind the heavy armor.

Li Pan subconsciously let out a questioning "Huh?" He clearly hadn't fully grasped what had just happened; his all-out ramming hadn't even moved the man's feet an inch.

Kuuga in Titan form sneered.

He raised his right hand, then hooked his thumb on his middle fingernail and flicked Li Pan's forehead lightly in the center.

The force of the flick on the forehead landed solidly on Li Pan's forehead, followed by a crisp and loud impact sound.

Li Pan felt as if he had been shoved hard from the front by something.

He stumbled back several steps, clutching his forehead and letting out a muffled groan.

His rocky skin was intact on his forehead, but the vibrations that pierced through the stone armor still made his head buzz.

Imperial Knight slowly walked towards him.

In his Titan form, each step he took on the ground produced a dull, heavy thud, causing the ground to tremble slightly beneath his feet, and the fallen leaves to bounce up and fall back down.

Li Pan watched the dark purple behemoth slowly approaching him, gritted his teeth, and desperately swung his rocky fists, smashing them repeatedly at the Imperial Knight.

The stone fist slammed into the purple breastplate, producing a series of dull, metallic thuds. But the Imperial Knight remained unmoved.

Kuuga's Titan Mode armor can withstand direct impact from explosives, so a punch is like raindrops to him.

Imperial Knight casually patted his chest, brushing away a small piece of stone dust that had been punched out of his shoulder armor, then clenched his right fist and punched Li Pan right in the center of his chest.

The fist collided with the rock breastplate with a dull thud, and Li Pan was sent flying by the punch.

His burly body tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground. He clutched his chest, rolling around and groaning in pain.

The punch to his chest had created several fine cracks in the rocky shell, the grayish-white patterns spreading outwards like a spider web.

After retracting his fist, Emperor Knight turned around. His deep purple compound eyes moved slowly through the gaps in the shadows of the trees, landing on Qian Bo, who was still squatting on the ground.

Qian Bo's hands were still bleeding, his swollen fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and the pain from the card cutting his palm had not yet subsided. Now he saw the dark purple armored giant turning his head towards him.

His deep purple compound eyes were as cold as two blocks of ice, and all his companions had already fallen.

Qian Bo's legs trembled violently, and he curled up on the ground, covering his face with his arms. His voice came out intermittently from behind his arms:

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong—Brother Ye Yang, please forgive me—we'll never do it again—"
