As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

A loud train whistle pierced the burning sky. A silver-red track stretched out out of thin air, and the Den-O train roared out of the void, with a magenta figure standing proudly on its engine.

It was Tsukasa Kadoya.

He held an unconscious boy tightly in his arms. (Hiiragi)

The train sped past the ruins, kicking up clouds of dust. Just as it passed over Gaim's head, Tsukasa Kadoya leaped down and shoved the child into Kouta Kazuha's arms: "Catch him! Protect him!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already flipped in mid-air and leaped back to the front of the Electric King train. The train climbed along the tracks, soaring into the sky, and finally hovered in front of the giant tiger.

He raised his head, staring directly into those amber compound eyes that were even larger than his entire body. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the clamor of the battlefield:

"Hey, Lin Chen. Haven't you made enough of a scene? It's over."

Upon hearing this, the giant tiger's body stiffened slightly. Lin Chen's compound eyes slowly moved down, sweeping across the ravaged land.

In the plaza, the once densely packed monsters and combatants had long since vanished into thin air. Kamen Rider Black, Black RX, No. 1, Faiz, Wizard, Fourze... one Rider after another stood amidst the ruins, with members of the Super Sentai teams dressed in various colored bodysuits standing beside them.

Everyone looked up, gazing at the colossal, white-gold beast that blotted out the sky.

The battle is indeed over.

The giant tiger slowly lowered its head, its amber compound eyes looking down at Tsukasa Kadoya, and Lin Chen's voice clearly struck everyone's hearts.

"Had enough? Of course not! You guys are allowed to cause trouble, but can't I have my turn too?"

Beneath the Decade armor, Tsukasa Kadoya frowned deeply: "Are we messing around? Lin Chen, what are you talking about?"

"Still acting, knights?" Lin Chen sneered. "Unwilling to simply fade into oblivion, fearing that the same tragedy will befall them in the future, and that their successors will be powerless to stop it. This deep-seated obsession of the Showa knights has given birth to the embryonic form of this false world!"

And you Heisei Knights, instead of stopping them, you've dragged in the Super Sentai to personally complete this world! Everyone's personally involved, playing along in this grand drama of 'Showa vs. Heisei discord'! Anyway, you're bound to have a war sooner or later, and no matter the outcome, this world will ultimately perish!"

He paused, his amber compound eyes sweeping across the room, his voice booming like thunder:

"Why don't we make myself the final enemy?"

These words were earth-shattering.

The Showa Riders were struck dumb, frozen in place. They had always believed that this world was born from the Heisei Riders' lingering attachment to the dead, and that the weakness of their successors had brought about the calamity. But now, it seemed the root of the problem lay in their own own obsession?

“What do you mean…” Black muttered to himself, his compound eyes flickering. “The world isn’t just because the Heisei Riders remember the dead…”

The many Showa Riders looked at each other in disbelief. Only Number 1 stood silently amidst the ruins, his dark green armor casting a long shadow in the firelight, saying nothing.

So, everyone's gaze slowly turned to him. But seeing his silence, everyone knew that it was all true.

"Lin Chen, you bastard! This world is something we've carefully crafted. You're not the actor on the stage!" Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but complain.

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's words, the giant tiger tilted its head, its amber compound eyes looking down at the crimson figure:

“It didn’t matter if I wasn’t the original actor.” He paused, “But now, it can be me!”

Before the words were even finished, the giant tiger suddenly opened its massive jaws. Deep within its throat, platinum-gold energy frantically condensed and compressed, transforming into a blinding sphere several meters in diameter!

"boom--!!!"

The energy blast plummeted like a meteor, slamming into the center of the plaza! The blinding light engulfed everything, and a violent shockwave swept outwards in a ring. Showa Knights, Heisei Knights, and team members—everyone was caught off guard by this sudden, devastating attack and thrown off balance, flung away like kites with broken strings!

"Lin Chen! You—!"

Tsukasa Kadoya's shout was swallowed by the explosion. The Den-O train beneath his feet had just started moving when a gigantic, sky-covering, platinum-gold claw swept down!

"Bang--!!!"

The giant claw slammed heavily on the side of the train, sending the entire Den-O train, along with the Decade on the front, flying away! The train tumbled several times in the air, crashing into half of a dilapidated building in the distance before finally crashing to the ground amidst a cloud of dust.

In the square, only the platinum-colored behemoth remained, slowly retracting its forepaws, its amber compound eyes coldly sweeping over the mess on the ground.

"bring it on."

Lin Chen's voice echoed above the ruins, like a proclamation of the end of the world:

"Let me see if your meticulously crafted stage can withstand my performance alone."

Tsukasa Kadoya, bracing himself against the Card Box Sword, rose from the twisted wreckage of the Den-O train. His magenta armor was covered in scorch marks and dust. He looked up at the colossal, white-gold behemoth that blotted out the sky in the distance, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Seriously, I've brought back some terrible trouble." He had considered simply opening a dimensional barrier to send Lin Chen away, but recalling what Shotaro from the W world had said, he knew that this battle was unavoidable.

He leaped down from the ruins and, in a few bounds, arrived before the Showa Knights.

Black, Black RX, ZX, X... The Showa Knights had also stood up, their dark green armor silent in the smoke and dust, clearly still not fully recovered from the truth they had just witnessed.

"Hey, gentlemen." Tsukasa Kadoya sheathed his card-shaped sword at his waist. "I'll tell you the full story later, especially with Grandpa Number One. Now—"

He raised his hand and pointed to the giant tiger in the sky that was gathering its second energy blast.

"Let's take care of that unreasonable guy first."

Finally, after Tsukasa Kadoya and Number 1 spoke up, everyone decided to deal with Lin Chen's unexpected situation first, and then resolve the issues between them.

"Let's go!"

"oh--!!!"

For the first time in a true sense, the Showa and Heisei Riders stood shoulder to shoulder, charging towards the platinum-colored God of Destruction. The team members followed closely behind.

The knights charged like a tidal wave toward the platinum-colored behemoth.

Black and Black RX, one on the left and one on the right, their dark green figures soaring into the air. Their knight punches and knight kicks struck the giant tiger's flanks, but with only two muffled thuds, the giant tiger's armor remained unscathed. Instead, the two Showa knights were thrown back by the recoil, crashing into the ground and creating deep craters.

Wizard and Fourze followed closely behind.

"How is this possible..."

"Completely useless!"

Only the giant robot summoned by the team and Kamen Rider J could barely hold their own. The red Tyrannosaurus slammed into the tiger's ribs from the side, causing it to stagger slightly. J's massive body grabbed the tiger's tail, attempting to subdue it, but was swept away by a sweeping blow.

After another round of fierce attacks, the knights gathered together, panting.

Kadoya Tsukasa, supporting himself with the Card Box Sword, knelt on one knee and looked up at the colossal beast that blotted out the sky: "This can't go on... Gentlemen, I have one last method."

He quickly whispered the plan. The knights exchanged glances, then—

They all nodded.

Just then, Kamen Rider J's massive body was once again swept back by the tiger's tail, tumbling back to the group. He shook his head, half-kneeling in the ruins, and looked down at Tsukasa Kadoya.

"J!" Tsukasa Kadoya shouted, looking up. "Please!"

J's enormous head nodded slightly, emitting a muffled response.

At the same time, Lin Chen controlled the giant tiger to whip its tail again, knocking the red Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Strong Dragon Warrior to the ground.

His amber compound eyes looked down at the small group of figures gathered together below, whispering around J's feet, and a strange sense of unease rose in his heart.

"What are these guys trying to do..." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the giant white-gold tiger, Tsukasa Kadoya took a deep breath.

"Lin Chen...you forced me to do this."

He took the card he had taken from Hai Dong directly from the card box and inserted it into the driver!

“Final Form Ride—Decade!”

In the blinding light, Tsukasa Kadoya's body reassembled and expanded, with armor plates piecing together layer by layer, transforming into a giant Decade Driver right before everyone's eyes! Under the pull of an invisible force, this behemoth was directly attached to Kamen Rider J's waist.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Chen was stunned.

J's massive body is covered in layers of magenta armor, with Decade's signature barcode compound eyes appearing on his head, and a huge cross emblem lighting up on his chest. Kamen Rider Decade-J stands atop the ruins.

Lin Chen quickly regained his senses, his voice full of disdain: "Hmph, Shi, it's just gotten a little bigger and has an extra layer of magenta paint. Does it think that makes it..."

Before the words were even finished, another unexpected event occurred!

On the ground, Wizard, Fourze, Gaim, Black, Black RX, ZX... one after another, the bodies of the knights suddenly glowed, turning into streams of light that condensed into knight cards, which flew towards the giant Decade-J!

Decade-J raised his giant hand, grabbed all the cards, and without hesitation inserted them all into the giant driver at his waist!

"Kamen Ride!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, colossal figures appeared behind Decade-J, and giant projections of knights descended like divine warriors, standing behind Decade-J!

But that's not all!

Then Decade-J pulled out the K touchscreen.

The icons above lit up one by one at Decade-J's fingertips, instantly transforming into God Mode.

At the same time, the Heisei Riders who were standing on the ground simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light. Under the resonance of the divine power, they all revealed their final forms that they had refused to use when fighting the Showa Riders!

“Now,” Tsukasa Kadoya’s voice echoed through the sky, “it’s time to show you… our true stage!”

...

However, the outcome of the battle was not as one-sided as Tsukasa Kadoya had anticipated.

Despite being surrounded by several giant knights, the platinum-gold tiger did not collapse; instead, it fought with increasing ferocity. With each heavy blow, the patterns on the tiger's body flashed violently, and its body visibly evolved countermeasures.

"What's going on with this guy?!" Black RX was struck in the chest by a tiger tail, his massive body flying backward and crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater. "He's getting stronger and stronger!"

"No... he's absorbing our attacks and evolving!" Gaim's Kakuzu armor was covered in claw marks.

Tsukasa Kadoya gazed at the colossal, white-gold beast that grew ever larger amidst the smoke of battle.

A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He knew exactly what was going on—the root of it all lay in the memory called "Evolution" that Lin Chen used in the W world, which was using this Knight War as nourishment to propel Lin Chen towards becoming even more powerful.

What concerned him even more was that a familiar aura was slowly emerging from the giant tiger. That power was cold and ethereal, carrying an absolute suppression over all knights, and it was exactly the same as the power within him that was specifically designed to attack knights.

"Damn it..." Tsukasa Kadoya cursed under his breath.

He understood that if he delayed any longer, and Lin Chen completed the evolution of that power, he would probably be left with no choice but to let him run wild.

If it were just about getting stronger, Tsukasa Kadoya wouldn't have noticed anything, and might even have done something for others. But now he clearly understands what the hidden danger that Shotaro mentioned is. Lin Chen's humanity is starting to fade. At first, they were fighting and bickering, but now, Lin Chen has completely fallen silent.

Thinking of this, he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.

Decade-J raised his hand, drawing the attention of all the Riders. Tsukasa Kadoya's voice boomed through the massive armor:

"Gentlemen! It's time to end him—use all your strength and go all out!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over each knight: "Don't worry about his death. That guy... isn't so easy to kill!"

Upon hearing this, the knights exchanged glances.

The next second, everyone's eyes were simultaneously fixed on the giant tiger.
