As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

"Get out of the way!"

But Number 1 silently took a step to the side, and the dark green locust armor became an insurmountable wall, blocking all paths.

Gaim gritted his teeth, spun the Great Orange Ball halfway in his palm, and without the slightest hesitation, slashed diagonally with his sword!

"laugh--"

An orange arc of light tore through the air. Number 1 didn't even have time to block before his chest armor was slashed open with a blinding spark, and he fell backward.

The dark green armor disintegrated the moment it landed, turning into an energy lock seed that floated for a moment before dissipating in the wind.

Beneath the tower, Murasame Ryo saw the Million-Dollar Tilting Machine appear. He ripped off the disguise of the Hell Ambassador, and a cross-shaped shuriken bomb shot out, spinning and embedding itself into the core of the tower!

"boom!!!"

Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

However, amidst the smoke and dust of the explosion, a deep, guttural laugh could be heard from President Bataan:

“Muramasa Ryo…do you really think I didn’t notice anything unusual about you?” Murasame Ryo’s pupils contracted.

"The Million Flip Machine has never needed the power of a Kamen Rider as its core," President Bataan's voice rang out. "Your collection of those Lockseeds only convinced me—you're not a true Bataan citizen. So I played along and let you perform. Look at you now, the Kamen Riders are fighting each other, and no one has time to stop the true arrival of the Bataan Empire!"

"What……?"

Murasame's conscience jolted, and in that instant.

"Pfft!"

Without warning, the jet-black spine blade pierced through his right shoulder, the tip emerging from his chest, accompanied by a series of electronic hissing sounds.

The figure of Kamen Rider XV appeared behind him, his voice like a whisper from the underworld:

"What you destroyed was nothing but a fake."

"Ugh—!"

Fifteen drew his sword sharply, sending sparks flying. He turned and circled around to stand in front of Murasame Ryo, his long spine-splitting blade slashing upwards with a heavy blow that sent Murasame flying!

Murasame Ryo rolled several times on the gravel ground. He knelt on one knee, and just as he raised his head, an orange-colored suit of armor blocked his way.

"Are you alright?" Gaim asked, gripping the large orange pill horizontally, his gaze fixed on the enemy in front of him.

Murasame Ryo didn't answer. He clutched his shoulder, his eyes fixed intently on Juu. Gaim followed his gaze and tightened his grip on the large orange pill in his hand.

Fifteen long swords, slender and pointed diagonally at the ground. He looked up: "A true million-turn machine..."

He paused, then lightly tapped the ground beneath his feet with the tip of his knife.

"From the very beginning, it was the Bataan base itself."

"Boom—!!!"

As if in response to his words, the entire earth began to tremble violently. The ground surged like waves, buildings collapsed, and smoke and dust blotted out the sun. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the fortress hidden deep underground was tearing apart the earth's crust, revealing its full form.

It was a colossal aerial fortress, a massive structure made entirely of steel, which broke through the earth's surface and slowly rose into the sky!

"Give the rest of the knights..."

The President of Bataan's voice echoed from the Bataan base in the sky, like a divine oracle:

"Annihilate them all!"

The moment the words fell, purple lights shone around Gaim and Murasame Ryo, and countless strange figures of all shapes and sizes surged in from all directions like a tide.

As the strange people slowly surrounded him, Murasame Ryo slowly stood up. The wound on his right shoulder was still crackling with tiny sparks, but his eyes were sharper than ever.

"Don't underestimate a knight."

He raised his head, his gaze passing over the densely packed army of monsters and piercing straight towards the Bataan base in mid-air. His voice was not loud, but it clearly overpowered the monsters' low roars.

"How could I not have anticipated this situation!"

Murasame sneered and suddenly pressed his right hand on the yellow and green cross core at his waist.

"Why do you think I collect Knight Lockseeds? I'll tell you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he placed his left hand across his chest and raised his right hand above his head, striking the most classic transformation pose of the Showa Riders!

"Transform!"

The cross-shaped core at the center of the belt burst forth with a blinding flash of light!

Its entire body was covered in silver-red metallic armor, and its compound eyes lit up.

Gaim stared blankly at the silver-red armor, his compound eyes beneath the orange-colored weapon flickering uncertainly: "You...you are?!"

ZX didn't turn around to look at him, his voice coming through the armor: "We Showa Knights had already formulated a battle plan the moment we discovered the Bataan Empire's appearance."

He tilted his head slightly, glancing at Gaim out of the corner of his eye: "Using the Lockseed power within Gaim to make all the Riders fight each other is just a grand show for you. Only when the Riders disappear one by one will Bataan deem the time ripe and quickly activate the real Million-Flip Machine."

"What...?" Kamen Rider Gaim gripped the large orange pill in his hand tightly.

“To tell you the truth,” ZX suddenly raised his hand, sending a ninja hook flying straight into the sky, “those knights you thought were dead are all now in Helheim!”

Before the words were even finished, the hook shattered the triangular light cage that was sealing the Knight Lockseeds in mid-air, linking all the Knight Lockseeds together!

Pulled by the force, the Lockseeds came to Gaim and entered his body one by one. A blue halo flowed across the surface of the orange armor.

"What is this? Ah!" Gaim shouted, his whole body bursting with blue light, and cracks of Helheim appeared one after another above his head.

In the distance, Lin Chen watched as the knights fell one after another from the rift in Helheim onto the ground. Suddenly, he turned to Shotaro beside him and asked a crucial question:

"If what's entering this world now is only my consciousness... then where exactly is my body?"

"Um...this..."

Shotaro subconsciously adjusted the brim of his hat, his eyes darting around, stammering and unable to speak.

Lin Chen's heart sank. This was the same expression Philip had when he disassembled his jet glider without permission and didn't put it back together.

“Shotaro,” Lin Chen’s voice turned cold, “Tell the truth.”

“…Alright.” Shotaro sighed, finally giving up the struggle. “The reason I’m showing up at this time, besides investigating the truth of the world, is for another reason: your body is having problems.”

"Something went wrong?"

"A strange force suddenly appeared in the gap between worlds and swept your body away," Shotaro said, forcing a smile. "That force was very strange; your body's location... we can't find it for now. But don't worry, once this world is destroyed, everyone's consciousness will return to their original bodies!"

Several black lines appeared on Lin Chen's forehead. He looked down at his hands.

"...Never mind." Lin Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to beat up Shotaro. "Let's resolve this incident quickly. I don't want anything to happen to my body."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer and directly fastened the Orga belt around his waist with his right hand.

"Complete!"

Having completed his transformation, Lin Chen turned his crimson compound eyes toward Shotaro, his voice booming through the armor: "You, transform too! With the power of Ultimate W, you should be able to easily resolve this, right?"

"Uh... there's a small problem." Shotaro awkwardly looked away.

Philip continued, "The Earth's consciousness is very interested in the anchor world from which this world was born, especially the golden fruit that will eventually be born from it. She has already reached an agreement with the 'Earth's memory' of this world and is preparing to integrate it into the W world. Now our main body is taking action, so..."

"So?" Lin Chen's voice deepened.

"So it's all up to you guys here." Philip's lips curled into a faint, infuriating smile.

Lin Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Rely on us? Are you kidding me? No matter how fake it is, this is still a world! How could we possibly have the ability to destroy this world?"

“But we still have Decade,” Shotaro added at the opportune moment.

Lin Chen slapped his helmet. Oh right, how could he have forgotten about that guy!

It must be because the scene of Tsukasa Kadoya being easily beaten down and taken away by Number 2 was so smooth that he subconsciously felt that the magenta guy was a bit weak.

Thinking about it now, that guy was Decade, a world destroyer embodied in the concept of the Knight world.

"...Alright then." Lin Chen took a deep breath. "I have a lot of pent-up anger that I need to vent!"

Lin Chen looked down at the square below, which had descended into chaos.

The roars of knights and the howls of monsters intertwined, and sparks flew as energy beams collided with metal.

A flash of golden light, and the dark gold armor vanished as a distorted afterimage.

When he reappeared, he was already silently standing behind Kamen Rider Fifteen. At that moment, Fifteen had just swung his sword and killed two Kamen Riders, Wizard and Fourze.

Lin Chen didn't waste any words, nor did he even activate the Photon Blood's energy. He simply gripped the Earth Emperor Sword with both hands, channeling all his power into his arms, and the blade drew a simple arc, slashing directly down towards Fifteen's back!

"Bang--!!!"

A dull, teeth-grinding impact rang out. A string of blinding sparks flew from Fifteen's black and white armor. He was struck as if by lightning, thrown forward, and his longsword flew out of his hand, embedding itself in the ground a short distance away, its hilt vibrating and humming.

Fifteen's body rolled several times awkwardly on the gravel ground before he managed to steady himself by supporting himself with one hand.

"It's you!"

Fifteen knelt on one knee, his dark compound eyes fixed on the dark gold armor. He recognized Lin Chen; it was Orga who had previously forced him to retreat temporarily in the courtyard.

Lin Chen slowly turned his neck, his scarlet compound eyes flashing. He raised the Earth Emperor Sword, its dark golden blade pointing diagonally at the ground, his voice low and deep:

"I let you escape last time..."

He took a step forward, his boot crushing a piece of concrete, and the ground cracked with spiderweb-like patterns under his feet.

"I'm really unhappy right now."

"Perfect timing to use you..." Lin Chen lowered his center of gravity slightly, holding the Earth Emperor Sword horizontally at his side, assuming an extremely aggressive starting stance, "to vent my anger!"

Chapter 244 Let's Make a Scene

Looking at the dark gold Orga before him, Fifteen slowly stood up. He patted the dust off his black and white armor, a cold glint flashing in his dark compound eyes.

"You're really arrogant, aren't you?" Fifteen's voice came through the armor. He pulled out a silver and red locket from somewhere with his right hand.

"But isn't that incredibly disrespectful?"

Press the lock with your thumb and it snaps directly into the slot of the Sengoku Driver on your waist.

"Lock On! Faiz Arms!"

A giant armor bearing the Fiaz logo appeared above Fifteen's head and then slammed onto it. Feeling the power of Fiaz within him, Fifteen clenched his fists.

"Last time, I hadn't even used my true strength."

After saying that, he pulled the long spine sword from the ground, the blade scraping against the ground and sparks flying. He held the sword with one hand, the blade pointing directly at Lin Chen.
