As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

But this surprise vanished in a mere two minutes. His body experienced an extreme rejection reaction, with all his cells rapidly collapsing and turning into sand starting from his hands. True to his reputation as the president of SmartBrain, he decisively ordered his subordinates to sever his sand-like body, leaving only his head, which was then placed in a specially made culture vessel to prolong his life until now.

His recollections did not interrupt the accusations from higher-ups.

At this moment, another high-ranking official brought up the matter of the Emperor's Belt, believing that the ultimate weapon that Murakami had created with the full strength of his clan was useless and could be easily defeated by the opponent, and was played with like a child.

Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Murakami Kyoji spoke up, his tone filled with stubbornness and confidence: "The Heavenly Emperor is already much weaker than the Earthly Emperor. The opponent has such terrifying strength even with a fake Earthly Emperor's belt. If we can find the real Earthly Emperor's belt wearer and gather both imperial belts, then no one in the world will be able to oppose us."

Upon hearing his words, all the senior executives collectively snorted coldly. The representative from the European branch spoke up: "We hope you are truly telling the truth. We will give you one last chance. You must bring the treasure back. If you fail again, Murakami Kyoji, your position as president should be replaced."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the holographic projections went out.

In the deserted wilderness, Lin Chen looked at the three people from Kiba who had given him inspiration and asked them directly when the Orphnoch would begin large-scale conversion of humans.

Although the three members of Kiba were puzzled and didn't understand why he was asking this, they still carefully recalled and accurately stated the time.

Having obtained the accurate time coordinates, Lin Chen had already finalized his plan.

Although Earth's consciousness had warned him before that traveling through time and altering the past could lead to unpredictable cataclysm in the future, he couldn't care less now. Could the future cataclysm ever be as devastating as it was now?

So he wanted to go back in time and nip this disaster in the bud, so that none of this would happen. This was the perfect way to break the deadlock, in his opinion.

Without further hesitation, he raised his hand and gently swiped in front of him, and the familiar dimensional barrier unfolded.

Just as he was about to step into the dimensional barrier, an irresistible, invisible force suddenly struck, violently throwing him backward.

Deng!

Lin Chen's steps went backward uncontrollably until the three men from Kiba caught him and he managed to regain his balance.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had never encountered this situation before. His time-traveling ability, which had always been infallible, had failed this time.

Before he could even realize the reason, a cold voice rang out in his mind. It was Earth's consciousness: "The power of darkness tells me that your ability to travel through time and space is too disruptive to the balance of the trial. You must know that there is no medicine for regret in this world that allows people to start over. Therefore, from today onwards, this ability of yours is completely sealed in the trial world."

After hearing what the Earth consciousness said, Lin Chen stood there, his face turning completely gloomy.

Unexpectedly, Toma had been watching this world all along.

Chapter 255 Human Resistance Army

In the open field, the air pressure suddenly dropped.

Just moments ago, I was planning to go back to before the disaster and nip the mess in the bud. But then, a single sentence from the Dark Force completely blocked the most perfect path.

The three Kiba members stood to the side, looking at each other with blank expressions.

They saw Lin Chen reach out to touch the light wall with its magical power, but somehow he was bounced back, and then he went cold.

The three stared at each other for a long time before Kiba Yuji finally took a half-step forward, his tone tentative and cautious: "Mr. Lin Chen, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in his heart. Fighting against the rules was useless; the will of the dark power was beyond his control.

He shook his head: "It's nothing, just a minor problem, it's nothing serious."

Explaining that their spacetime abilities are sealed is pointless; they wouldn't understand anyway, and it only adds unnecessary worry.

He looked up at the three of them and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans next?"

Yuji Kiba gave an answer almost immediately: "We plan to return to the rebel camp. The matter of the Emperor's Belt is too important; we must tell the people in the camp. There aren't many humans left; the more information we have, the greater our chance of survival. Every little bit helps."

Begonia, standing next to her, pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "Those people might not appreciate it," but she didn't object.

Lin Chen lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds.

To be honest, the root of all this lies with him. If his body hadn't fallen into this world and been picked up by Murakami Kyoji, none of these terrible things would have happened. Since we can't go back and change history, let's do our part now and protect these survivors.

"Okay, then take me with you." Lin Chen looked up. "Speaking of which, this mess is all because of me."

Yuji Kiba's eyes lit up instantly, his face beaming with undisguised joy, his voice brimming with excitement: "Really? That's wonderful! Mr. Lin Chen, with your help, we'll definitely pull through, and maybe we can even turn the tables and defeat Smart Brain!"

Hearing Kiba's words, he simply shook his head. How could that be! This world is no longer a human world.

Seeing his completely unguarded and trusting demeanor, Lin Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "You trust me like this? Aren't you afraid I have ulterior motives?" He genuinely felt that Kiba Yuji in this world was far too naive.

But Yuji Kiba smiled, his eyes unusually serious: "No. I trust my intuition; it tells me you're not a bad person!"

The reason is so simple it's almost childish.

Lin Chen looked at him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

......

Having successfully arrived at the rebel camp, Lin Chen saw a girl with a round face handing out leaflets of unknown origin to the passing crowd. Soon, she reached the location where Lin Chen and his companions were.

Looking at her, Nagata Yuka couldn't help but ask, "Miss Mari, what are you doing?"

Sonoda Mari looked up and saw them. She immediately smiled and took two quick steps to greet them: "It's you, Mr. Kiba, Yuka, and Kaidou."

Then her gaze fell on Lin Chen, with a hint of curiosity, "And who is this?"

"This is Mr. Lin Chen," Yuji Kiba quickly introduced. "Like us, he also wants to do his part for humanity."

“Really? Welcome, Mr. Lin Chen.” Sonoda Mari smiled heartily and extended her hand. “There aren’t many people willing to help us these days, especially Orphnoch. Thank you so much.”

Lin Chen shook her hand lightly and nodded, "You're welcome." He could hear a hint of helplessness in Sonoda Mari's voice; it seemed that this resistance camp wasn't as harmonious as it appeared on the surface.

“Oh, right, Mari,” Kiba Yuji suddenly stopped smiling and his face turned serious. “We’re here on something very important. Take us to the command center; we need to talk to everyone in person.”

Seeing his serious expression, Sonoda Mari nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."

...

Inside the command center of the rebel camp.

Lin Chen picked up a flyer that Sonoda Mari had handed out earlier and started reading it. It read "Masquerade Ball".

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head. What kind of time is this to be doing this?

Although the idea is good, at least it can provide some psychological comfort to people living in the apocalypse, it is estimated that not many people will participate.

After all, for them, even survival is already difficult enough.

Just then, a voice rang out beside him: "You also think this is naive, don't you?"

Lin Chen looked up and saw that it was Kusaka Masato, whom he had met before.

Kusaka Masato came to his side and said, "Just as I said before, you are like those three fools, a naive Orphnoch who wants to live in peace with humans. But that's impossible."

After speaking, he pointed in the direction of the three people, who were now arguing with the people from the original rebel camp. The one in charge was the long-haired leader from the previous attack on Smart Brain headquarters, a man named Mizuhara.

Upon entering, Yuji Kiba didn't keep anyone in suspense. Instead, he directly revealed the information about the Emperor's Belt and suggested that humanity should take action to find a way to obtain it and gain an opportunity to fight back.

But before that, it is necessary to unite the Orphnochs who, like them, want to coexist peacefully with humanity.

This is like touching Mizuhara's sore spot.

He was initially excited to learn that the Emperor's Belt was real, but he slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "I will never trust the Orphnochs! After all, you are monsters too. What you call searching for more companions might just be a trap."

Haitang, who had been listening intently, couldn't sit still any longer. They had gone to great lengths to bring back this news, and these guys not only didn't trust them, but also suspected them of having ulterior motives. Their good intentions had been completely wasted. So she went up to Mizuhara, grabbed him by the collar, and started arguing with him.

Seeing this, Kiba quickly stepped forward to pull him aside and try to break up the fight.

Sonoda Mari had been listening quietly ever since Kiba Yuji spoke, but seeing the conflict break out, she couldn't help but shout:

"Stop it! Stop arguing!"

Sonoda Mari suddenly shouted, not loudly, but enough to silence the room. Everyone looked at her, wanting to hear what this girl, who had been maintaining order throughout the base, had to say.

Truth walked to the center of the crowd, her gaze sweeping seriously over everyone. She spoke up in agreement with Kiba's opinion, saying that the Orphnochs, like them, were originally human, and it was absurd to hate all the Orphnochs.

To her, there was no difference between Orphnochs and humans.

Even among humans, there are individuals who have lost their humanity. Therefore, she decided to trust Kiba, because Kiba was their friend.

Hearing her words, Keitaro agreed.

Following that, the short-haired youth whom Lin Chen had saved during the attack on Smart Brain headquarters, whether out of gratitude for saving Lin Chen's life or for other reasons, also sided with Sonoda Mari.

Kusaka Masato, however, neither agreed nor disagreed with Harada Mari's statement, and instead laughed.

"Masato, what are you laughing at?" Sonoda Mari noticed his expression and frowned. "What are you thinking? Tell me."

Upon hearing Sonoda Mari's question, Kusaka Masato slowly approached Mari's side.

He glanced at the three men, including Kiba: "I don't need friends of dubious origin. The Emperor's Belt is nothing to fear. As long as I'm still fighting, that's enough. I've said it before, I will become humanity's new savior."

So don't worry about anything, just relax as long as I'm here.

While enjoying the farce, Lin Chen suddenly seemed to sense something and stared intently at a certain spot.

There, a blue butterfly is fluttering its wings.

He instantly appeared beside the butterfly, his arm flashing, and crushed it to death.

Then he said, "Gentlemen, there's a problem. It seems you're being monitored." After saying that, he stretched out his hand in front of everyone.

Everyone crowded around to take a look and were stunned.

In his palm lay a small blue butterfly, its wings so realistic they looked real, now crushed. Fragments of electricity crackled within its body; it was clearly a mechanical monitor.

Just as Mizuhara was about to say, "You're exaggerating," a deafening roar suddenly erupted outside the base, shaking the ground. This was followed by a barrage of gunfire, explosions, and screams—utter chaos.

Everyone's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Enemy attack!!"

Someone shouted, and the people inside sprang into action. Mizuhara grabbed a rifle from the wall and rushed outside.

Upon rushing out of the command post, they saw a large number of Leo cavalrymen on motorcycles encircling and intercepting the remaining humans in the rebel camp.

Seeing this, Mizuhara couldn't resist putting his hat on the heads of Kiba Yuji and the other two.

He believed that this must be because of the enemies brought by Kiba Yuji and the other two Orphnochs, and that they were not to be trusted. He then urged everyone to go and provide support immediately.

The three Kiba members also looked grim when they heard his words, but they didn't say anything more; now was not the time to argue.

"Mr. Lin Chen, please, I beg you, please help me out." Kiba Yuji turned his head and looked at Lin Chen solemnly.

Lin Chen nodded without saying a word. He reached out and took out the Orga Belt. Although his ability to travel through time and space was sealed, the Earth's consciousness had left him a small backdoor, which could still be used as a storage space.

"Transform!"

Dark golden photon blood rapidly spread throughout his body, covering him in layers of thick armor.

His transformation caught the attention of Mari Toda: "What's that? A new belt?" But she didn't have time to care about that at the moment.

Without pausing after transforming, Lin Chen pushed off the ground and his figure transformed into a golden streak of light, directly plunging into the enemy ranks.
