As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Two muffled thuds exploded almost simultaneously.

The two alien insects seemed to have crashed into him, slamming heavily into his claws. His body was instantly sent flying, rolling several meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

They got up, completely bewildered.

It must be a coincidence!

They accelerated again, the green afterimages becoming faster and more chaotic, launching a frenzied attack from all directions.

Lin Chen simply closed his eyes.

In his mind, the premonition kept refreshing, and every landing point and every trajectory of the attack was firmly locked by the red cursor.

He doesn't need to look; he just needs to follow the predictions.

Sidestep, tilt head, raise claws... every movement is slow and deliberate, yet each time it precisely hits the attacking alien insect.

"Boom! Boom!"

The attack hit again.

The two alien insects were completely panicked.

They were clearly accelerating, so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye, so why were they hit so precisely every time?

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his amber vertical pupils.

The game should end now.

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, the stone slabs cracked open, and the Orphnoch factor frantically condensed on his claw blades, gleaming silver.

In his mind, the landing point of the next double attack by the insects had already appeared.

Right now.

Lin Chen pushed off the ground with both legs, lunged forward, and thrust out both arms simultaneously!

"puff--!!"

The claws pierced through the chests of the two alien insects without any resistance, tearing the hard exoskeletons of the adults as easily as paper.

The two alien insects stood frozen in place, looking down at the sharp claws piercing their chests, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two explosions rang out simultaneously, and the green insect body exploded, turning into ashes and dissipating in the wind.

[Ding! Defeat 2 molting adult insects, gain 40 evolution points!]

Current evolution points: 72

Lin Chen slowly withdrew his hands, released the domain, and was slightly out of breath.

He immediately brought up the system panel and his gaze fell on the lifespan column—lifespan value: 52 years.

I just activated Orphnoch Complete Form + Tiger Hunt Domain, which consumed a total of 3 years of my lifespan.

But you get 40 evolution points in return, and your attributes can continue to improve, so it's a huge win no matter how you look at it.

Chapter 47 True Cause

Hikari Natsumi held onto the handrail, turning her head to listen to Mayu's soft words beside her. The girl's voice was weak but filled with an overwhelming sadness, her fingertips tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white.

“He listened to me a lot, but I didn’t know what he did for a living, only that it was related to protecting humans.” Mayu lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. “Until that day, he was attacked by Kabuto and never came back.”

Tsukasa Kadoya leaned against the wall not far away, his hands in his pockets, watching the two of them, his brows furrowing slightly. He had heard Mayu say that her brother had died at the hands of Kabuto. If Kabuto was really the murderer, then why had Kabuto been protecting her all along?

Meanwhile, in the command center of Jet Base...

Captain Jet provided a new plan for capturing Kabuto King.

Shin took it with a puzzled look on his face. Captain Jet said that the newly developed system was about to be completed, and with it, they could directly capture Kabuto King.

Shin voiced his doubts: "Why capture Kabuto King?"

Captain Jet slowly turned around, a sinister glint in his usually calm eyes, his voice as cold as ice: "King Kabuto in his Accelerated form is out of control and unpredictable. The citizens will only feel fear when they see him! Our mission as Jet is not only to eliminate the Zerg, but also to appease the citizens and make them believe that there is a power that can protect them!"

“But…but Kabuto shouldn’t be the demon in the rumors!” Shin couldn’t help but retort, images of Kabuto protecting the citizens flashing through his mind. He didn’t believe that such a knight could be an evil person.

"Shut up!"

With a loud shout, Captain Jet suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xin hard across the face.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the base, and Xin's head was turned to the side after being hit.

Captain Jet's eyes suddenly turned ferocious, and a chilling glint flashed in his one eye.

The floodgates of memory opened—the short sword in Kabuto's hand, whistling through the air, pierced his right eye in an instant, overwhelming him with excruciating pain and despair. He lay on the ground, too weak to even struggle.

That pain and despair, etched into his very bones, became an obsession in his heart.

"King Kabuto..." Captain Jet gritted his teeth, a fierce hatred burning in his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot as he growled, each word uttered in a low voice, "I will never let him go!"

...

Meanwhile, the oden shop wafted a rich and delicious aroma. In order to unravel the mystery of Kabuto, Tsukasa Kadoya offered to help. Mayu and her grandmother were surprised, but they did not refuse.

Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't resist adding some other ingredients to the pot, which only contained simple ingredients.

Grandma seemed to realize that something was wrong with the taste.

The old woman strode over, looking angrily at the extra ingredients in the pot. Before Tsukasa could react, she picked up the pot and poured all the soup, now with the new ingredients, into the sink.

Kadoya Tsukasa stood there, completely puzzled: "It's just that I added something, is it really necessary to get so angry? It's such a waste to throw away the soup."

"What a pity?" Grandma's tone was stubborn. "Adding something else changes the taste of the soup! Keeping it the way it is is the most important thing. This taste must not be changed!"

"Mayu, clean it up." Grandma instructed in a deep voice, then turned and went into the inner room, leaving behind a lonely figure.

Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the spilled soup, feeling annoyed but unable to argue, so he could only silently help Mayu clean up. After cleaning the shop, the two went out to buy groceries together.

“Grandma…maybe…she thinks my brother is still alive, and she’s afraid the soup will change and he won’t recognize it when he comes back,” Mayu said first, explaining softly.

Tsukasa Kadoya paused. He looked at Mayu's sorrowful profile, about to press her about what exactly happened to her brother back then, and whether it was really related to Kabuto.

Just then!

A dark green figure darted out, its hard carapace gleaming coldly, and thick saliva dripping from its mouthparts—it was the alien insect!

The alien insect's gaze was fixed on the two of them, and a foul stench wafted over them.

"Mayu, run!" Tsukasa Kadoya's expression changed. He shoved Mayu behind him and rushed forward, reaching for the Decade Driver at his waist.

"Transform!"

"Kamen Ride! Decade!"

A high-pitched electronic sound exploded, and magenta armor instantly covered his entire body. His compound eyes lit up with red light. Tsukasa Kadoya, holding the Card Box Sword, assumed a battle stance, standing between the Worms and Mayu.

The alien insect let out a roar, its body suddenly twisted violently, and its green armor plates peeled off and shattered, revealing its purplish-red molted body underneath. Its aura surged instantly, becoming even more ferocious.

A purplish-red molting insect suddenly pounced, its sharp claws whistling through the air as it aimed straight for Tsukasa Kadoya's chest!

Just as Tsukasa Kadoya was about to swing his sword to meet the attack, a dark golden figure suddenly appeared like lightning!

"Complete!"

The Earth Emperor Orga's armor gleamed with a cold light, its crimson single eye locked onto the molting Zerg. The Earth Emperor's sword, condensed with dark golden photon energy, plunged into the Zerg's head without any frills!

"Bam—!"

The alien insects exploded.

[Ding! Defeat a common-level monster (Mortal Insect), gaining 10 evolution points.]

The system notification sounded in his mind, and Lin Chen slowly put away the Earth Emperor Sword. He was farming evolution points nearby when he sensed the aura of the alien insect and rushed over, taking it down in one fell swoop.

But Tsukasa Kadoya wasn't having it, and was about to question him with a disgruntled expression.

Several sharp gunshots suddenly pierced the sky!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The specially made energy bullets, glowing with a ghostly blue light, were aimed precisely at the two of them!

The bullets struck the armor of the two men, sparking a few drops of sparks.

The two looked up and saw Kamen Rider Royal Bee and Kamen Rider Steel coming side by side at the end of the street in the distance, followed by a team of fully armed Jet members, their guns all pointed at them.

"You're not Jet's knights, are you?" the Queen Bee spoke, her voice exceptionally cold as it was filtered through her armor. "You're Decade, aren't you?"

Tsukasa Kadoya straightened up and readily admitted, "So what if it is?"

Captain Jet's voice emanated from beneath the Royal Bee armor, filled with intense hostility: "Tsukasa Kadoya, the demon who destroyed the world, I've heard of you. This world does not welcome you. We will destroy you and protect the peace here!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the steel bucket beside him and ordered in a deep voice, "Xin, let's go!"

"Yes!"

The new voice was filled with hatred, and two knightly figures moved instantly, one in gold and one in blue, charging straight at Tsukasa Kadoya and Lin Chen with a fierce attack!

Lin Chen sensed something was wrong the moment Captain Jet appeared.

His perception indicated that Captain Jet's life energy was completely different from that of ordinary people, just like those Zerg!

"Tsukasa Kadoya, be careful! This guy isn't human, he's an alien insect!" Lin Chen's face darkened as he whispered a warning.

"Warbugs?" Tsukasa Kadoya was stunned, clearly not understanding. Captain Jet was the leader of the Jet team fighting against the Warbugs, how could he be a Warbug?

Before he could think it through, Lin Chen had already made his move.

With his crimson eye locked onto the Queen Bee, Lin Chen charged straight at her without hesitation, leaving Steel Fighter and the Jet team members to Tsukasa Kadoya.

"Oh!"

The Earth Emperor's fist collided fiercely with the Royal Bee's fist, creating a deafening clang of metal against metal. The Royal Bee was so shaken that it was forced to retreat, and fine cracks appeared in the ground beneath its feet.

The Royal Bee in its un-exploded armored normal form was no match for the Earth Emperor. In just one exchange, it fell into a disadvantageous position and was suppressed by Lin Chen. Lin Chen's punches landed squarely, and the Royal Bee was beaten into a sorry state.

"hateful!"

Captain Jeter was enraged.

Cast Off! Change Beetle! This immediately activates the Accelerated Form!

The royal bee's figure became illusory, leaving behind afterimages in place, and ordinary vision could not capture its movements at all.
