As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

"Wait for me, Shi!" Hikari Natsumi quickly followed.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen had already locked onto his first target by following the unusual life fluctuations.

It was a high school girl walking on the sidewalk, with slightly chubby cheeks, wearing a clean school uniform and carrying a backpack. She looked no different from any other female student, but upon closer inspection, you could see that fine white sand was constantly dripping from her body.

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened, and he didn't hesitate at all.

He pushed off with his feet, his figure darting out like a ghost, instantly appearing behind the high school girl. Before she could react, one hand firmly covered her mouth, the other wrapped around her waist, and he abruptly pulled her into a deserted alley.

The whole process was as fast as lightning. The high school girl didn't even have time to utter a scream before Lin Chen abducted her to a secluded place.

"Well--!"

The high school girl stared wide-eyed, her face filled with terror. She struggled frantically, but Lin Chen's arm was like an iron clamp, and she couldn't break free at all. Only when Lin Chen was sure that no one was around did he slowly release his grip and gently put her down.

"W-What are you going to do?! Who are you?!"

The high school girl staggered back a few steps, her back pressed tightly against the cold wall, her hands covering her chest, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly with fear, and the way she looked at Lin Chen was as if she were looking at some vicious criminal.

Without saying a word, Lin Chen calmly took out his dark gold Earth Emperor phone from his pocket, lightly slid his finger across the buttons, and switched to single-fire mode.

Dark golden energy slowly condensed at the muzzle of the gun, exuding a chilling pressure.

The high school girl trembled with fear, thinking Lin Chen was going to attack her. Her scream caught in her throat, and her face turned ashen.

Lin Chen raised his eyes, his wrist slightly lowered, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground at her feet.

"boom--"

With a soft thud, a dark golden photon energy blast shot out instantly, hitting the high school girl's feet precisely and sending up a small pile of rubble.

"what--!"

The high school girl jumped in fright, screamed, and began to tremble uncontrollably.

Aren't you coming out yet?

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, a bizarre scene unfolded—

Fine grains of sand began to fall softly from her skin, collar, and cuffs. Accompanied by the rustling sound of the sand rubbing against each other, the outline of a mole-like demon god slowly peeled away from her body and took shape.

The innocent high school girl rolled her eyes and fainted, collapsing limply to the ground.

"Damn human! Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Mole Demon God had fully materialized, its entire body covered in grayish-brown armor. One of its arms had transformed into a sharp axe blade, gleaming with a chilling light. Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, filled with murderous intent. With a roar, it swung its axe blade, aiming a vicious blow at Lin Chen's head!

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged as he pressed the button on the Earth Emperor's phone again, switching it to rapid-fire mode.

Faced with these mass-produced grunts, he had no interest in even transforming.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Dense bursts of photon energy rained down, precisely striking the Mole Demon God's body. The violent energy exploded instantly, and the demon didn't even have a chance to get close to Lin Chen before its body shattered into countless grains of sand and specks of light, completely dissipating into the air.

[Ding! Defeat the mass-produced monster (Mole Demon God), gain 1 evolution point.]

The system notification sounded coldly.

Lin Chen put away the Earth Emperor's phone, didn't even glance at the unconscious high school girl on the ground, and turned to leave the alley.

In the time that followed, Lin Chen completely transformed into a "cleaner".

Following the abnormal fluctuations he sensed with his spiritual power, he traversed the city's streets and alleys, using the simplest and most brutal method to force out the mole demon gods hidden in the bodies of ordinary people, and then used the rapid-fire mode of the Earth Emperor's phone to destroy these mass-produced minions one by one.

Office workers on the street corner, convenience store clerks, students leaving school, elderly people taking a walk...

You can hardly walk far before you encounter an ordinary person possessed by the mole demon god.

Just as Momotaros said, these Otherworldly beings were everywhere, like locusts, causing a plague.

In just over half an hour, Lin Chen had already killed nearly twenty Mole Demon Gods. Including the one from before, the evolution points on the system panel had slowly increased from the original 40 points to 59 points.

Although each one only has 1 evolution point, which is pitifully small, the sheer number of them makes up for it; little by little, they add up.

But just as Lin Chen was about to continue his hunt, he encountered trouble.

Two tough nuts to crack.

This time, he targeted two ordinary people, a man and a woman, who also harbored the aura of the Mole Demon God within them. But no matter how Lin Chen threatened them—by hitting them with photon energy blasts at their feet and suppressing them with his aura—the Demon God within them remained dormant, refusing to reveal itself.

Lin Chen stood there, looking at the two ordinary people in front of him who were trembling but had not yet managed to break out of their bodies, and he was puzzled.

His goal was simple—to kill monsters and get evolution points.

However, when these otherworldly demons possess innocent people, he can ruthlessly kill the monsters that burst out of their bodies, but he simply cannot bring himself to directly harm these unarmed ordinary people.

In his fifteen years of time travel, he survived in the cracks and had long seen through the cruelty of the world. But deep down, he could never get over that hurdle—he could exterminate strange people, but he couldn't bring himself to kill ordinary people like his former self.

These people are innocent.

They are merely vessels for the Otherworldly Gods, not enemies.

If he were to act recklessly, even if he managed to force out the Otherworldly God, he would most likely severely injure or even kill these ordinary people.

He can't do that.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in his heart.

A direct confrontation won't work; we have to outsmart them.

Instead of trying to force the Immortals to reveal themselves, he knocked both of them unconscious, hoping to find Momotaros and have him deal with it. Or perhaps he could find Kadoya Tsukasa.

Momotaros is an Imagin, so he must know how to safely force out his kind who are attached to a human body; and Tsukasa Kadoya has traveled through countless worlds, so he might also have a solution.

Lin Chen carried the two people back the way he came, hoping to find them again.

When Lin Chen followed Tsukasa Kadoya's scent to an empty plaza, he was stunned.

In the empty square, two figures were locked in fierce combat. The crisp sound of metal clashing and the roar of energy bursting out made the air tremble slightly.

A figure, entirely crimson with sharp lines, stood with the Decade Driver at his waist gleaming coldly. He wielded a card-shaped sword, his movements agile and graceful. It was none other than Kamen Rider Decade—Tsukasa Kadoya.

His opponent, on the other hand, had striking bright yellow eyes. His shoulders, chest armor, and limbs were covered in thick, golden armor, with a square, rugged silhouette and overall lines that were both stable and imposing. A few black and silver details adorned his waist and joints, giving him a solid and heavy appearance, exuding the aura of a heavily armored warrior. This was none other than Kamen Rider Den-O: Sacred Axe Form.

But there was no sign of Hikari Natsumi.

Chapter 40 Anomaly

Let's go back half an hour.

While walking down the street, Hikari Natsumi and Tsukasa Kadoya suddenly encountered a man with a sleazy air who claimed to be a talent scout. Despite Hikari Natsumi's initial rejection, he persisted in pestering her.

Instead of helping, Tsukasa Kadoya just laughed loudly on the sidelines.

Just then, three beams of light shot directly into Tsukasa Kadoya's body from the sky. Unaware of this, he did not dodge and was possessed by the Imagin once again.

The sudden change in Tsukasa Kadoya startled Hikari Natsumi, but she quickly understood his predicament.

Because he was possessed by three Immortals, Tsukasa Kadoya seemed to have a split personality. Even the lecherous talent scout was scared away.

Hikari Natsumi tried to persuade the Imagin to leave, but they wouldn't listen. They even said that they had come specifically for Tsukasa Kadoya. The three Imagin blamed Tsukasa Kadoya for the strange occurrences in the Den-O world, leaving Hikari Natsumi puzzled.

Then, Tsukasa Kadoya switched to a hip-hop youth style, pointed at the disappearing building in the distance, and said to Natsumi Hikari, "Like this."

Although Hikari Natsumi was surprised by the disappearance of the building, she did not think it was Tsukasa Kadoya's fault.

Putting all that aside, all she wanted was for them to return Tsukasa Kadoya's body as soon as possible.

Remembering the method used to drive away Momotaros, Hikari Natsumi used the Laughing Finger on Kadoya Tsukasa again. However, this time the effect was not good. She failed to drive out the three Imagin and was even frightened away by Kadoya Tsukasa at this time.

On the other side, Momotaros, standing on the rooftop, watched the skyscrapers disappear one after another. Not knowing what had happened, he was stopped by Haidong when he tried to continue his pursuit of the mole-like Otherworldly Gods. Haidong held up a card with a picture of a time train on it and insisted on turning him into the time train.

Momotaros didn't understand, but didn't want to get entangled with Kaito. Kaito immediately transformed into Diend. Seeing Kaito transform, Momotaros' temper flared up, and he transformed into Den-O.

The two began to fight.

Hikari was too exhausted to run any further than the person in front of a concert hall.

She grabbed Tsukasa Kadoya by the collar and yelled at him to come back right away.

Tsukasa Kadoya heard Natsumi Hikari's shout and, through sheer willpower, forced the three Imagin out.

Forced to reveal their bodies, the Otherworldly Gods first showed themselves, and they were the other three of the Tram Four Idiots.

Seeing the three Imagin controlling his body, Tsukasa Kadoya was annoyed and threw a punch, but it was useless. The three were in a sand-like state and had no physical form. So, they bypassed Tsukasa and possessed Hikari Natsumi.

Wanting to fight Tsukasa Kadoya, Ryutaros possessed Hikari Natsumi and transformed into Den-O Holy Lance form. Seeing Den-O transform, Tsukasa Kadoya didn't hold back.

...

When Lin Chen arrived, he saw the two people locked in battle.

"Hey, stop!" Lin Chen said in a deep voice, his voice piercing through the battlefield, but it failed to cause the slightest ripple.

The two were completely absorbed in the battle and ignored Lin Chen's shouts.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and threw the two people possessed by the Otherworldly God to the ground. He simply stopped talking, stood there, and waited quietly with his arms crossed. In any case, these two wouldn't be able to determine a winner for a while, and they would naturally stop fighting when they got tired.

Lin Chen was watching the two knights fight with great interest.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

A series of footsteps approached. Lin Chen looked in the direction of the sound—several mass-produced alien gods wearing dark red leather armor appeared quickly. They were burly, their armor covered with ferocious patterns, and their fierce gazes swept across the entire area. However, they ignored the entangled fight between Den-O and Decade and rushed straight towards a small team of a few people who were escorting something not far from the square.

Lin Chen casually knocked the people escorting the wooden crate to the ground.

"boom!"

The leading mass-produced Otherworldly being slammed down with a punch, instantly shattering the sturdy wooden crate and sending wood chips flying. The crate was filled with white foam; prying it open revealed a vase.

It's like they've found some treasure.

A mass-produced Otherworldly being roared excitedly and reached out to lift the vase above its head.

Just then, a silver-white figure suddenly appeared. This otherworldly being was a size larger than the mass-produced otherworldly beings, its entire body covered in hard, silver-white armor. Two small, jet-black horns protruded from its face, and its two beady eyes, instead of being funny, possessed a strange ferocity. It carried a spiked mace casually slung over its shoulder in its left hand, exuding an aura of domineering arrogance. Beside it, more dark red, mass-produced otherworldly beings swarmed in, forming a tight protective formation; clearly, this silver-white otherworldly being was their leader.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, his mental energy spreading out instantly to sense the opponent's strength—a cadre-level Otherworldly God, whose combat power was on the same level as Momose from Lucky Clover back then.

On the other side of the square, a homeless man staggered over, his body constantly covered in fine sand.

The chaotic scene quickly attracted patrolling police officers.

Several police officers, guns drawn, headed toward the chaotic scene.

The homeless man also began to change; fine sand condensed into a scorpion-shaped monster, which stood in the center of the square.
