As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Kui Lian watched their movements, slowly raising his long spine sword, its tip pointing at them, his voice low and cold: "Still want to resist?"

He sneered and took out a black and white lock-on device covered with a skull shell. "But no one can stop me."

He pressed his thumb on the Lockseed, and the Lockseed was pulled by an unknown force and automatically snapped into the slot of the Sengoku Driver on his waist.

In the courtyard, three figures intersected.

Decade's Card Box Sword and Gaim's Ootengu slashed down simultaneously, but Juu merely shifted slightly to the side, his longsword tracing a dark arc, deflecting both weapons at once. The immense recoil sent both Kadoya Tsukasa and Kazuha Kouta staggered backward, their boots carving deep furrows in the ground.

"Is that all?" Fifteen's voice, chilling and piercing, pierced through the armor. He took a step forward, his spine blade sweeping across. Kuzunoha Kouta hastily raised his Daio-maru, but was blasted backward along with the blade, crashing heavily into the courtyard wall, shattering the bricks and stones.

Tsukasa Kadoya gritted his teeth and charged forward, switching his card to Attack Control, and thrusting the Card Box Sword straight at Juuji's chest. Juuji neither dodged nor evaded, but instead gripped the blade with his left hand and raised his right leg.

Tsukasa Kadoya groaned as he was kicked in the abdomen, his magenta armor rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Damn it... what's with this guy's power?" Tsukasa Kadoya braced himself against the ground, his compound eyes flickering.

He turned his head to look at Lin Chen standing under the corridor, then at Shu, and made a quick decision: "Hey! Lin Chen! Take the boy and go first! Go to the lighthouse to find his mother! We'll hold them off here!"

Lin Chen did not move.

His gaze passed over the disheveled Decade and Gaim, landing on Fifteen: "You should go by yourself."

"Huh?!" Tsukasa Kadoya was taken aback.

Lin Chen fastened the Orga belt around his waist: "Given his current obsessive state..."

"Complete!"

The Earth Emperor's armor was layered, with dark golden photon veins spreading across the pitch-black base. Lin Chen took a step forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Someone needs to give him a good beating."

Amidst the rubble, Kouta Kazuha abruptly pushed aside the bricks pressing down on him, using Daidoru as a shield to stand up. He shook his head, brushing the dust off his armored helmet, and his gaze quickly swept across the entire area.

Without hesitation, he took out a pink lock and threw it towards Decade's location.

A streamlined locomotive appeared out of thin air.

"I'm counting on you, Shi!" Kouta shouted, his voice firm. "Hira, go see your mother! Tell her everything you want to say!"

Hiiragi paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously and ran quickly toward the motorcycle.

Without wasting words, Tsukasa Kadoya climbed into the driver's seat and pulled the boy behind him, saying, "Hold on tight, kid! My driving skills may not be as good as my photography skills, but they're still pretty good!"

The engine roared sharply, shooting out of the courtyard like an arrow, crushing the gravel road, and disappearing into the distance.

"Stop! Hiiragi!" Fifteen shouted, leaping up to give chase.

A dark golden figure blocked his way.

Lin Chen wielded the Earth Emperor Sword, its blade sweeping horizontally, the golden light tearing a blinding arc through the air. Fifteen hastily drew his sword to parry, the spinal longsword colliding head-on with the Earth Emperor Sword, exploding into a shower of dazzling sparks.

The immense force flowed through the blade, causing Fifteen to stagger back two steps, his boots carving two deep furrows in the gravel ground.

“This road is blocked.” Lin Chen’s voice came through the Orga armor. “I understand your despair at losing Hiiragi. But right now… it’s better to let you calm down.”

Fifteen steadied himself, his jet-black compound eyes fixed on the unfamiliar armor before him. The armor had a silver-black base, dark gold patterns, and a massive crimson "Ω" compound eye on its head.

"Who... are you?" Fifteen's voice was wary. "I have no idea you exist among the Heisei Riders. Are you a Showa Rider?"

Lin Chen tilted his head slightly, the Earth Emperor Sword pointing diagonally at the ground: "Why must we distinguish between eras?"

He took a step forward, causing the ground beneath his Orga armor to tremble slightly. "Now, let's have a fight first."

Fifteen gripped the longsword along his spine, his voice filled with madness: "Hmph, no matter what era you're a knight from, anyone who stands in the way of Hiiragi's resurrection should be eliminated!"

Chapter 240 Showa Knights

Without a word, Fifteen drew a dark arc in his hand with the longsword, and his figure suddenly shot up! The blade tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistle, aiming straight for Orga's throat. Lin Chen slightly shifted his footing, the blade grazing the neck armor, sparks flying. Almost simultaneously, Lin Chen twisted his waist and swung his sword, the Earth Emperor Sword slashing out horizontally with a heavy whooshing sound.

Fifteen vertical swords were used to parry.

"clang--!!!"

The deafening clang of metal against metal sent the withered leaves rustling down from the courtyard. Fifteen felt an overwhelming, unreasonable force surge up his spine and into his arms, forcing him back three meters. His boots dug two deep furrows in the gravel.

Before he could even stand still, Lin Chen had already taken a step forward, his dark golden figure crashing into him like a cannonball. The Earth Emperor Sword was raised high above his head, and a powerful slash landed directly on the top of his head!

"Don't be so arrogant!"

Fifteen roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, and swung his sword at Orga's breastplate.

Seeing this head-on approach, and not knowing Fifteen's true strength, he did not continue the fight.

The sword tip slightly deflected, and the dark golden blade collided with the spine-length saber once more. The shockwave exploded in a ring, causing the ground between the two to collapse with a deafening roar, sending debris flying into the sky. Lin Chen's shoulder armor sank, withstanding the recoil from the blow, and his left fist slammed out like a heavy hammer, directly striking Fifteen's ribcage.

"Oh!"

Fifteen grunted, his body flying sideways, crashing through half of the courtyard wall. Amidst the billowing dust, he braced himself with one hand on the ground, his dark compound eyes fixed on Lin Chen. He stomped the ground and charged forward again.

He spun around and swung his sword, the blade flashing out horizontally, causing bricks and stones to crumble in its wake.

Faced with this attack, Lin Chen gripped the Earth Emperor Sword with both hands, his photon blood charging and surging wildly into the sword.

"drink!"

The Earth Emperor Sword once again met the pitch-black longsword head-on.

boom!!!

A blinding light erupted from the center of the collision between the two energies. Lin Chen's legs sank deep into the cracked ground, but he didn't retreat an inch. On the other hand, Fifteen was thrown backward again by the energy storm from the clash.

"Damn it..." Fifteen gritted his teeth, about to charge forward again, but Lin Chen had already moved first.

The Earth Emperor Sword trailed a golden tail as it slashed three times at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow! Fifteen rolled, parried, and shifted to the side in a disheveled manner, his spine-long sword dancing in front of him to form a pitch-black barrier, but he could only barely block the first two swords. The third sword grazed his ribs, leaving a trail of dazzling sparks.

"Ugh!"

Fifteen stumbled and knelt on one knee, only managing to steady himself when the spine blade pierced the ground. He looked up at Lin Chen, who was walking slowly towards him. The silver-black armor stood like a mobile fortress in the dust, and the scarlet compound eyes coldly looked down at him without any emotion.

“It’s very similar to Faiz’s power… Are you a Faiz-type knight? No, you also have the power of the Gaia Memory!” Fifteen said.

Lin Chen did not answer. He raised the Earth Emperor Sword again, its blade pointing directly at Fifteen's head.

"However, I don't have time right now... to waste any more time with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space behind him seemed to have been zipped up and opened.

Fifteen's figure fell backward, disappearing into the gaping zipper. The gap closed quickly, leaving only a battlefield in ruins.

Lin Chen's sword struck empty air. He sheathed the Earth Emperor Sword, his crimson compound eyes sweeping over the spot where Fifteen had vanished, and muttered to himself:

"...Did they run away?"

Just then, Kouta Kazuha, who had been watching the battle, ran to Lin Chen's side, and without even pausing to catch his breath, pointed in the direction where Tsukasa Kadoya had left and shouted:

"Something terrible has happened! There was a huge explosion over there! Shika and Hiiragi... something might have happened to them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen did not hesitate at all and immediately activated the dimensional barrier. Unlike before, this time the dimensional barrier could be activated smoothly.

The gray dimensional barrier tore apart in the street where the explosion was heard.

Lin Chen and Kuzunoha Kouta stepped out one after the other. As soon as they steadied themselves, the scene before them made them pause slightly.

In the middle of the street, two dark green figures had already taken to the air.

Both of them were covered in green armor shaped like locusts, and their compound eyes were bright as torches.

Opposite it, a strange figure with the features of a golden skull stood there.

boom!!!

Three figures passed each other, and before the golden skeleton monster could even scream, its body exploded in the flames.

Kamen Rider Black and Black RX. Lin Chen recognized these two iconic figures.

As the flames died down, the two Showa Riders straightened up. Lin Chen and Kouta Kazuha exchanged a glance, realizing the crisis was over, and immediately deactivated their transformations. They then walked to Tsukasa Kadoya's side.

"Where's Fifteen?" Tsukasa Kadoya asked, turning his head as the two approached. "Did you shake them off?"

Lin Chen nodded.

Seeing Lin Chen nod, Tsukasa Kadoya breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his helmet, and walked straight behind the two dark green figures: "Yo, thanks for saving me!"

"We're not here to save you."

The two turned around together, and RX's dark green boot sole crushed a piece of charred gravel:

“The next enemy we need to defeat is you!” It was Black who spoke.

Tsukasa Kadoya paused slightly, holding his helmet, then tilted his head: "...Why?"

"Because it was you Heisei Knights who brought the vanished Bataan Empire back to life." Black's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

“You who caused these tragedies are unforgivable,” RX replied, his tone resolute.

Tsukasa Kadoya fell silent. "Is that so..." he murmured, recalling what Narutaki had said earlier—that the Showa and Heisei Riders couldn't possibly join forces this time. "Then everything makes sense."

His gaze swept across the faces of the two Showa knights.

"Although I don't know what misunderstanding is going on, I don't have time to deal with you right now. Lin Chen and Kaito, I'm leaving them in your care."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to lead the boy back towards the lighthouse.

"Leave it to us, Shi!" Hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's words, Kouta Kazuha nodded, with the passion and determination unique to young people, "I'm counting on you for Hiiragi!"

Before Kouta Kuzuha could finish speaking, Shotaro Hidari and Kaito Kazumon appeared.

“Looks like we’ve arrived just in time.” Shotaro walked up to the group. “The Showa Knights are completely treating us Heisei Knights as enemies.”

After saying that, he took out the W Driver from his pocket, looked at Lin Chen, and raised an eyebrow:

"This should be... the complete commission, right?"

...

The streets have long been reduced to ruins.

Five figures crisscrossed among the broken walls and ruins, the muffled thuds of fists colliding with feet mingling with the sharp scraping of metal. Lin Chen retreated to a broken concrete pillar at the street corner, watching coldly.

The battle between the two sides unfolded somewhat inexplicably.

Kamen Rider Black and Black RX stood back to back in the center, their dark green grasshopper armor gleaming coldly in the smoke and dust. Surrounding them were three Heisei Riders.

Shotaro Hidari's Joker form is like a dark ghost, with sharp lines in the black armor beneath the Lost Driver and a dark red glow in his compound eyes.
