As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Caesar parried with his gun, the deafening clang of metal against metal echoing through the hall. Da Dao Keji pressed his sword against the wall, turned his head, and spoke in a voice as soft as if he were chatting: "But you have indeed become weaker. After this fight, go and refit the memory—don't make me say it a second time."

He exerted a sudden burst of strength, sending Caesar flying back several meters, the Eternal Dagger spinning in a semi-circle in his palm. The NEVER members who had fallen to the ground deactivated their transformations and began to prop themselves up.

Da Dao, with his back to them, pointed the blade at Caesar again, and said calmly, "Stand behind me. This time—just watch."

"Hey, Dao Keji, your opponents are us!" The sudden voice drew everyone's attention. Two figures appeared from another direction.

"It's you, my brother! We've finally met!" Daido Katsumi didn't pay attention to the person who spoke, but looked at another figure.

Chapter 171 W Returns VS Eternal

Looking at the two figures, Zhao Jinglong leaned on his engine sword and let out a long breath. His dislocated right arm swayed, and he gasped in pain. He quickly used his left hand to support his elbow and bend it back into place. The bone snapped back into place with a "crack," and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Wu Yan, standing beside him, also hung the Caesar Blade at his side—at least he didn't have to fight Eternal head-on anymore. Just as Lin Chen had said, even with his enhanced power, he was no eternal opponent.

Shotaro adjusted his hat and noticed that Katsumi Daido was staring intently at Philip, ignoring him completely. He pouted and nudged his partner beside him: "Hey, Philip, how does it feel to be treated like a brother by a monster?"

"Shotaro, what a twisted sense of humor you have. I always feel like you're going a little crazy because of that other version of yourself. You only need memories from the future, but you insist on reading through 100,000 years of memories, and you almost got lost in the flood of memories." Philip shook his head helplessly.

“This is what I have to do to support that world. As for you, apart from your body, you are no different from a normal person now. Partner. Do you want to try again this time?” Shotaro asked Philip, his eyes filled with eagerness.

“Of course we have to try it. These two worlds are completely different. Here we go, partner.” Philip replied to Shotaro while already holding the Fang Memory in his hand.

"Let's go then, partner!"

"Fang!" "Joker!"

"Transform!"

The two spoke at the same time and inserted the memory into the slot of the Lost Driver.

Electronic patterns instantly appeared on Philip's face, and a gust of wind swirled around his body, making the gravel and broken glass on the ground rattle.

Shotaro's body went limp and he fell straight to the ground.

Black and white armor rapidly covered Philip's body, with grotesque bone blades piercing out from his elbows and knees, and crimson compound eyes lighting up in the dimly lit hall.

Kamen Rider Fang Joker makes his debut.

"Sacrifice yourself, O Great Way, and count your sins!"

"My sin? Come on! My brother, let me see what you're capable of." Seeing this, Dao Keji raised the Eternal Dagger to his chest.

Fangs assumed a charging stance, then with a powerful push from his hind legs, he leaped into the air like a cannonball, heading straight for Dao Keiji. While in the air, he raised his hand and struck the tactical tone horn on the driver. A sharp arm blade instantly sprang out from his right arm, whistling through the air as it sliced ​​through the air with a piercing shriek.

However, as a battle-hardened undead mercenary, Da Dao Ke Ji possessed extremely rich combat experience. He easily dodged the attack to the side and used the Eternal Blade to block W's next combo.

"Is that all you've got, my brother?" Eternal taunted, then launched a counterattack. His movements were astonishingly fast, his blade striking W squarely in the chest, sparks flying and sending him staggering back several steps.

W, not to be outdone, struck the tactical horn again, generating a sharp shoulder blade on his left shoulder, and launched a series of slashes while spinning his body. But Eternal dodged with the agility of a ghost, and all his attacks missed, leaving only white streaks in the air.

After several rounds, Eternal completely anticipated and neutralized Fang Ace's offensive. Eternal seized an opening and kicked W hard in the abdomen, then swept the blade of eternity across, sending W flying and crashing heavily not far from Terui Ryu.

"Right?!" Teruji Ryu exclaimed anxiously upon seeing this, reaching out to help, but the moment he lifted his right arm, he winced in pain and could only watch helplessly.

"Don't worry about us, Terui. How are you, Philip?" Shotaro's voice sounded from W's left side. The first half of the sentence was to reassure Terui Ryu, while the second half was a question to Philip.

"Just as I remember, he's very strong, Shotaro." Philip's voice remained calm, but with a slight hint of seriousness. "His reaction speed is even faster than we anticipated."

“Then there’s no need to test him,” Shotaro’s voice deepened, “Use your limits!”

At the Sonozaki Manor, black and white pieces were locked in fierce combat on the sandalwood chessboard. Ryubei's fingers, which were holding a black piece, were just hovering in mid-air when Saeko pushed open the door and entered, her voice extremely low: "Father, the people have appeared. They are currently fighting the terrorists who caused the bombing at Fuuto Tower."

"Snapped!"

The black stone slammed heavily onto the board, splashing tea over the rim of the cup. Ryūbei looked up, a terrifying glint in his cloudy eyes, while Izaka Shinkōrō opposite him put down his teacup with interest.

"Saeko, go. Gather everyone." Ryubei stood up, took out the Fear Memory, and strapped the Gaia Driver to his waist. "I'll go myself this time. Isaka, you come too. This time, you must bring them back."

"I'd be more than happy to." Isaka stood up, the Weather Memory spinning on his fingertip. Sonozaki is here. If he gets him, he should be able to overcome his fear.

Saeko bowed and accepted the order, then stood up, taking the Forbidden Memory in her hand as well.

...

"Come on, our Xtreme!" In the hall of Fuuto Tower, W deactivated his transformation, this time in Hayate Ace form, which was led by Shotaro Hidari.

Dao Keji merely scoffed at this form: "My brother, even stronger forces are no match for me. Are you giving up?"

W did not answer him.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light pierced through the entire hall!

A memory module, like a bird spreading its wings, flew directly into the Wind Tower from the outside and landed in W's hand. A huge "X" was engraved on its surface.

"Is this... the Ultimate Memory?" Philip's voice rang out as he looked at the Ultimate Memory.

The mechanical eagle formed from the Ultimate Memory detached from W's hand and arrived above Philip's body, completely digitizing him. Then, the dual Lost Drivers on W's waist automatically closed, and the two Gaia Memories emitted a beam of light that resembled a track. The mechanical eagle flew directly onto the track and fell down along the two lines.

"XTREME!"

The deafening transformation sound effects echoed throughout the entire hall!

The Dual Driver was instantly covered in golden light, evolving into the Ultimate Driver.

“This power?” Shotaro and Philip’s voices overlapped completely, indistinguishable from each other. “It really is like it has become one with the entire Earth.”

"Our body and mind have also become completely and truly one."

W suddenly inserted his hands into the central junction, forcefully prying it open. His body slowly split open from the middle, revealing the green Earth data flowing inside. The data stream circled around W's body in concentric rings.

The armor on the left and right halves of the body was reassembled, with golden lines outlining a completely new silhouette. A pair of energy wings, like wings, unfolded from behind, and the red compound eyes shone with a holy light.

Kamen Rider W Cyclone Joker Xtreme has officially been born!

At this moment, there are no longer two people, Shotaro and Philip, but only one soul and one will—Kamen Rider W, who is one with the other.

At Sonozaki Manor, all remaining combat forces have assembled. The Fear Hybrid, sensing the violent fluctuations within the Gaia Memory, revealed a fanatical smile: "The newcomer has actually completed his evolution! He has truly become an existence connected to the will of Earth! Let's go!" Upon hearing Ryubei's command, the strangely shaped Spatial Memory flew directly in front of everyone, and blue grid lines began to spread out beneath their feet.

The crystal chandelier in the lobby of the Wind Tower shook violently under the impact of the energy, and shards of glass fell like hail.

The Gale Ace Ultimate Form landed slowly, its golden energy wings flapping gently behind it, the resulting airflow blowing away all the dust on the ground.

Green Earth data flowed around him, and every breath seemed to resonate with the entire wind. This time, it was no longer two consciousnesses battling within one body, but rather the complete fusion of Shotaro's 100,000 years of accumulated memories and Philip's talent as the Son of Earth, giving birth to a power far exceeding the limits of the original work.

Dao Keji's disdain finally subsided somewhat. He narrowed his eyes slightly, gripped the Eternal Blade in his hand, and his black cloak fluttered once more without wind. "Interesting. Now you're worthy of being my opponent."

Before the words were even finished, W had already transformed into a streak of green-gold lightning and charged forward. He was three times faster than the previous Fang Ace, leaving only a series of blurry afterimages in the air. Prism Bicker appeared out of thin air in his hand, the Prism Holy Sword whistling through space as it slashed straight at Eternal's face.

"Ding!"

The Eternal Blade hastily parried, but the immense force forced Dao Keji to involuntarily take a half-step back. Sparks from the clash of metal landed on his face, and for the first time beneath his armor, he showed a look of surprise.

W gave him no chance to breathe. With a thrust of her Radiant Shield in her left hand, she forced Eternal back, while her Holy Sword swept across in her right. The golden sword light drew a perfect arc in the hall, grazing Eternal's cloak and cleaving the marble pillar behind him in two.

"So fast!" Terui Ryu's eyes widened. This W was far more powerful than he remembered; was this the different W Lin Chen had mentioned?

Kirihiko frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that W's power was still rising, the energy originating from Earth seemingly inexhaustible. Even the power of Burst Caesar now seemed insignificant in the face of this will.

The battle intensified. Eternal held nothing back, wielding the Eternal Blade to unleash a blue curtain of blades, each strike carrying the chilling intent of death. W, relying on his ability to analyze all matter on Earth, precisely predicted every attack from Eternal, his holy sword and holy shield working in perfect unison.

The two figures darted across the hall, the shockwaves from their energy collisions turning everything around them to dust. The ground was covered in countless cracks, and the walls were slashed with swords.

"Drink!" W seized an opening and pressed the Extreme Drive button. "Xtreme Maximum Drive!"

Green energy converged from all directions, causing the entire Wind Tower to tremble slightly. W soared into the sky, his energy wings fully unfurling and transforming into a green sun. The Ultimate Flying Kick, carrying earth-shattering power, hurtled towards Eternal like a falling meteor.

This time, Eternal finally abandoned all his contempt. He held the Blade of Eternity across his chest, his entire body erupting with blue energy, and forcefully withstood the attack.

"boom!"

A massive explosion engulfed the entire hall. Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring everyone's vision.

Terujiro and Kirihiko held their breath, staring intently at the center of the smoke.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Eternal knelt on one knee, the Blade of Eternity planted in the ground for support. But his black cloak remained intact.

Just then, a blue grid of light suddenly appeared in the entire hall, followed by a black swamp that exuded a chilling aura.

Chapter 172 Eternal Requiem

The black swamp spread outwards along the blue grid, its sticky black water bubbling and gurgling, quickly covering the entire hall. One by one, hybrid entities emerged from it like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Standing at the very front was the Fear Doppelganger, shrouded in black mist, its withered fingers intertwined in front of it, its scarlet eyes fixed on W. Saeko Sonozaki's Forbidden Doppelganger floated to his left rear, while Mikuro Isaka's Weather Doppelganger was to his right.

On the far right are the couple, Beast and Spatial Dopant. Beast stands there, letting out a low growl, with Spatial Dopant floating above his head. On the far left is Aya Kujo's purple Triceratops Dopant, with the Alien Knight Skull standing alone next to her, his tattered gray trench coat clashing with the colorful Dopants around him.

"What? Ryūbei actually came!" Terui Ryū looked at the black swamp surrounding them and gripped the Engine Sword tightly with his left hand again. Kirihiko also raised the Caesar Blade Spear. Was he about to face fear again? But this time, he wouldn't flee in a sorry state.

Even Da Dao Keji frowned and slowly stood up: "A bunch of nuisances. Who are you people?"

The gaze of the Fear-Mixed One swept across the entire area, yet the spreading black mist of fear did not affect anyone. The faces hidden within the black mist were filled with disbelief. How could this be? It was one thing for Never and his group of undead, but W, Aceel, and that mysterious knight did not react at all.

He took a step forward, the black swamp churning beneath his feet, and looked at Kamen Rider Eternal: "Breaking into someone's home, smashing, looting, and burning, you really have no manners at all."

Then he looked at W and said, "Come with me, you have a mission you must complete!"

“Mission? No, Sonozaki Ryoubei, that’s yours, not mine, and the Earth doesn’t seem to approve of you either.” Philip’s voice echoed within W’s body.

“Sonosaki Ryoubei?” On the other side, Daido Katsumi scoffed, wiping the dust off the Eternal Blade. “You mean this city? What a pity, old man.”

He pointed to the Wind City outside the window, his tone leaving no room for argument: "I've arrived. This is no longer your territory. Before long, the entire Wind City will be turned into hell, and I—will become the Wind City's new hope!"

After Dao Keji finished speaking, the members of Never stood behind him one by one. He took out the Gaia Memory again and transformed into a Doppelganger.

"Is this T2? It can transform without using an interface. The X Foundation is quite capable of researching things." Ryūbei said with interest as he watched the Never members transform.

But then, the black mist behind the Fear Hybrid surged into a gigantic hand, carrying a chilling aura that could freeze to the bone, and lunged straight at W. Before W could even raise his hand to block, a white figure had already blocked the way.

"What a nuisance." Dao Keji's voice was devoid of warmth. With a casual wave of his Eternal Blade, the black mist hand was cleanly cleaved into pieces. He turned his head, his gaze passing over his shoulder to look in W's direction, his tone as indifferent as stating the weather, "He's mine, don't touch him."

"You're courting death!" Ryūbei said in a deep voice, and all the hybrids charged forward simultaneously. Daido Katsumi didn't turn around, only slightly raising his chin. The hybrids formed by the Never quartet immediately moved. A chaotic battle erupted instantly.

Eternal darted into the midst of fear and taboo, his Eternal Blade unleashing a dense, impenetrable curtain of blades. The mental shockwave released by the Fear Hybrid was deflected the moment it touched his armor—Ryubei's pupils constricted, but the cunning Ryubei instantly regained his footing and, with a swift movement, summoned an even larger domain of fear to envelop him.

The air grew thick and oppressive; ordinary people would have long lost their will to fight in this atmosphere. However, Dao Keji merely tilted his head, cleaved the illusion before him with a single strike, and continued his steady advance.

Taking advantage of the moment, Saeko Sonozaki took to the air, her energy blasts aimed at Eternal's back, ready to fire. Before they could even launch, a blade of light shot upwards, slashing at her. She cried out in pain and plummeted through the air, managing to regain her balance mid-air before slid awkwardly to the ground.

"That's it?" Da Dao Keji didn't even glance at her.

On the other side, Luna's supple arms coiled around the beast-like doppelganger's neck like a python, but the spatial doppelganger dodged with a teleportation, creating a spatial grid beneath Luna's feet and causing her to plummet from mid-air. The trigger doppelganger immediately raised its gun and fired, the blue energy blasts forcing the spatial doppelganger to retreat repeatedly. The blazing doppelganger spewed forth raging flames—
