As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Sakuma was initially pleased, but the girl's scream startled him so much that he froze on the spot. He looked at his hands, as if he understood something.

"Thank you!" After saying this, her entire body burst into golden flames, then began to crumble into ash, leaving only a ball of golden light in place. Lin Chen waved his hand and put it away.

At this moment, the group of onlookers slowly stepped forward. Hanagata stood beside Lin Chen, his expression complex. He didn't say much, even though he was quite shocked by Lin Chen's sudden display of resurrection ability.

In the future trio, it was Kiba Yuji who spoke first: "President Lin Chen, please hand her over to us. We will take her back to the future. She will start her own life!"

Seeing Lin Chen nod, he bent down, picked up the girl, and turned to look at Hanagata: "As for the rest, President Hanagata, I've already told you what to do next. Thank you!"

Immediately afterwards, they saw Inui Takumi return the last remaining Faiz belt to Hanagata, and the three of them stood in a row. Behind them, a gray light screen lit up, and the three of them turned around and stepped into it together.

In the distance, the two Time Robbers.

"Aura, did you see that? That guy is really strong! Do you think if we choose him as king, he could cause a lot of trouble for Grandpa Oma?" Ul craned his neck, watching the battle that had already ended, and said happily.

"Well! Who knows? But I advise you not to get too close to guys like that. Who knows what organization they might be from!" Aura crossed her arms, looking somewhat uninterested.

"Let's go. Everything is over for now, but we still need to complete that time loop." With everything settled, Lin Chen said to Hanagata.

Before Hanagata could answer, the dimensional barrier around them opened again, and Tsukasa Kadoya stepped out from it.

"Hey! Lin Chen, are you done on your end? I need some help on my end!"

Chapter 235: A Grand Scene Right From the Start?

As soon as Lin Chen landed, he heard a series of explosions in the distance. In the distance, a huge building shaped like the World Tree stood in the center of the city.

Before he could even understand what was happening, the sky was torn apart by flames.

A fireball streaked across the atmosphere like a meteor, like a flaming spear hurled by a god, trailing a scorching, blinding tail.

boom--!!!

The fireball crashed directly into a building, shattering the skyscraper's glass curtain wall.

In a fraction of a second, billions of pieces of tempered glass turned to dust, transforming into a reversed diamond rainstorm that shot into the sky. Countless glass shards, illuminated by the firelight, refracted millions of crimson rays.

Sirens, screams, car alarms... all sounds were drowned out by a low, teeth-grinding hum.

"What's going on? Is this some kind of big scene right from the start?" Lin Chen turned to Kadoya Tsukasa next to him and asked.

"I don't know either, but it must be something big, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged you here," said Tsukasa Kadoya. His once black hair had turned blond and was now twisted and messy from a perm, making him look like a delinquent.

The center point where the flames fell.

The red armor slowly unfurled amidst the embers, and on the rhinoceros beetle-shaped helmet, two enormous tentacles spread out to the sides, while the compound eyes shone with a cold, cyan light.

Kamen Rider Kabuto, but at this moment, that armor is disintegrating.

Pieces of the super-metallic shell peeled off the knight's body like cicada shells, turning into specks of light and dissipating before hitting the ground.

A man's figure appeared from where Kabuto had been standing.

He had slender eyebrows and eyes, a sharply defined face, and a head of black hair slightly disheveled by the heat. His right hand was still in the gesture of pointing to the sky, standing out conspicuously against the surrounding dusty scene.

The Supreme Commander of Heavenly Way.

"Where is this world? Where is Xiao Xu?" His last memory was still of eating with Xiao Xu.

He patted non-existent dust off his shirt, slowly walked to the hole he had bumped into, looked at the city ablaze, and couldn't help but frown.

Just then, a red and green figure appeared in front of him, hovering in the air. Immediately afterwards, the figure uttered a cryptic statement.

"Knights of the Heisei era, you are far too weak!"

After saying that, the figure swooped down towards Tendou Souji, knocking him off the building. He was about to fall to his death.

The wind howled in my ears, and the feeling of weightlessness was like an invisible giant hand gripping my heart, forcing the blood to rush to my head.

Tendou Souji's body plummeted rapidly between the tall buildings, his white shirt fluttering wildly in the wind pressure, and his black hair dancing like snakes in the gale.

The ground was getting closer and closer. The cracks in the asphalt, the scattered shards of glass—every detail magnified rapidly in his pupils. At this speed, if he hit the ground, he would be instantly reduced to dust.

Tendou Souji remained calm. He steadied himself, extended his right hand, and a red shadow, accompanied by a buzzing sound, flew directly into his hand.

"Hen——shin!"

He pushed the rhinoceros beetle insect device directly to his waist, and the heavy metal outer shell armor quickly spliced ​​together to cover his body.

boom--!!!!!!

The armor kicked up clouds of dust as it hit the ground. The armored figure beneath the unexploded armor slowly rose to its feet, watching the imposing figure running towards it from a distance. The "S" emblem in the center of its breastplate was particularly striking.

Before he could even understand what was happening, the attack from the other side had already begun.

Lin Chen and Tsukasa Kadoya watched the battle from a distance. "Why are they fighting?"

"I don't know. Not long ago, this world suddenly changed. I don't know what caused it. One by one, knights appeared, and then, for some reason, they started fighting." Tsukasa Kadoya raised his camera and recorded the scene of the battlefield.

While the two were talking, the battlefield opposite them had already reached a fever pitch.

1!

2!

3!

Rider Kick!

Kabuto raised his right leg high, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in his compound eyes in his knight form.

Purple energy condensed into a dazzling bolt of lightning at his right foot, tearing the air apart with a piercing shriek. The kick struck the center of the Kamen Rider Strongman's chest armor as he attacked with his Rider Kick.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The next second, cracks spread wildly in circles from the spot where the strongman's armor was kicked.

"Uhh—!!"

With a roar of resentment, that magnificent body exploded.

Before Kabuto could even regain his footing, the Sky Knights' attack arrived.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the scattered point of light in the distance, his expression remaining calm.

“Kabuto’s Knight Kick…” he muttered to himself.

Tsukasa Kadoya, standing beside him, raised his camera and snapped a picture of Souji Tendo's back.

"Aren't you going to stop it?" Lin Chen turned his head. "With your abilities, intervening in that battle just now wouldn't be difficult."

"No need to do anything unnecessary. They're not dead."

"Huh?" Lin Chen was stunned. "They're still alive after being blown to bits?"

“They are nothing more than projections of power now.” Tsukasa Kadoya hung the camera back around his neck, put his hands in his trench coat pockets, and looked at the World Tree-shaped building in the distance. His eyes finally became serious. “Like a reflection in a mirror, a moon’s reflection in water.”

"This world..." Tsukasa Kadoya paused, his voice lowering, "is a hodgepodge world forcibly created by some unknown mastermind. Fragments of various Kamen Rider worlds were crudely pieced together, like someone tearing up countless oil paintings and then haphazardly gluing them together into a bizarre, incomparable work."

He raised his hand, pointed to the sky, and then to the burning city in the distance.

"The World Tree Building you see is the center of this world, the stage for Kamen Rider Gaim."

Lin Chen followed his finger and looked in the direction it pointed: "Kamitsu?" He searched his memory but couldn't recall a single thing about this scene, but he didn't dwell on it. The original storyline he had watched before would inevitably be completely distorted under his intervention anyway.

"So these battles between knights were also orchestrated by a mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Most likely." Tsukasa Kadoya nodded.

"The reason I asked Shotaro for help was to have him investigate who was behind this."

He put the card back in his pocket and looked into the distance again.

“Before Shotaro finds the mastermind…” Tsukasa Kadoya turned his head to look at Lin Chen, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, “Let’s just enjoy this chaotic battle for now. After all, a scene like this isn’t something you can just see every day.”

After saying that, Tsukasa Kadoya immediately activated the dimensional barrier: "Let's go! We can't see anything at this point in time."

...

A sudden scream erupted at the end of the street.

A dozen or so Shocker combatants, their black and white bodysuits gleaming in the firelight, poured out of the alleyway. Behind them followed two grotesque figures, one with a lizard's head and the other covered in iron-blue scales, chasing after the fleeing civilians.

Several Shocker henchmen spotted two figures standing by the roadside. Howling, they raised their short swords and charged directly at him and Tsukasa Kadoya.

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

The air around him suddenly distorted, and the gray dimensional barrier unfolded silently like a mirror. He reached in with his right hand and grasped the Earth Emperor Sword.

Without uttering a single wasted word, Lin Chen took a step forward, twisted his wrist, and slashed horizontally with his sword.

laugh--

A white arc of light flashed, and the three Shocker soldiers at the forefront froze abruptly. The next second, their upper bodies slid off simultaneously, exploding into dust before they could even scream.

The lizard-like monster over there seemed to have noticed the sudden situation and turned to walk towards them.

"Who are you people? Kamen Riders?"

Neither of them answered the lizard-like monster's question. Lin Chen, watching the other Shocker henchmen rushing towards the crowd, pulled out the Saber-toothed Tiger Memory.

Smilodon!

Lin Chen didn't transform; he merely borrowed the power of the saber-toothed tiger's memory for a brief moment. His figure blurred into a blur, and a series of explosions rang out. In the blink of an eye, only the two strange figures remained on the field.

Seeing this, Tsukasa Kadoya also took the Decade Driver and prepared to transform.

Lin Chen reached out to stop him, his figure flashing again, leaving afterimages as he relentlessly slashed at the two monsters. Before the two could react, an explosion engulfed their figures.

"Interesting." Tsukasa Kadoya put down his camera and whistled. "You're really becoming more and more of a monster!"

Lin Chen did not answer, but instead opened the system panel.
