As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Without further hesitation, Lin Chen turned and charged towards the monster horde.

Nearly a month later, he encountered another large group of strange creatures, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The notification sound of evolution points had been dormant in his mind for too long; these mutated monsters were the perfect source of replenishment.

Instead of indiscriminately killing, he used his Orga armor to maneuver through the monster horde, deliberately guiding their path. By constantly attracting their attention, he pulled all thirty-odd mutated monsters to a flat, open area far from the base, preventing the battle from affecting the elderly, women, and children in the underground shelter.

The monsters roared and chased after him, slashing with their claws and tearing with their fangs, but they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

Once all the monsters had gathered, Lin Chen stopped, turned around, and gripped the Earth Emperor Sword in his right hand, his photon blood condensing on the blade.

[Earth Emperor Slaying!]

The energy blade swept out like a crescent moon, causing a slight distortion in the space it passed through. A violent energy shockwave swept across the entire area, and more than thirty mutated monsters exploded before they could even scream, turning into pale white particles of light and dissipating into the air.

Explosions rang out one after another, and particles of light flew everywhere. System notifications bombarded Lin Chen's mind, crisp and frequent.

[Defeat 3 common mutated monsters, Evolution Points +15]

[Defeat 5 common mutated monsters, Evolution Points +25]

[Defeat 10 common mutated monsters, Evolution Points +50]

[Defeat 12 common mutated monsters, Evolution Points +60]

A large number of evolution points were rapidly accumulated, and the values ​​soared. Lin Chen raised his hand to sheathe his sword, quickly clearing the area.

Not far away, Kurosaki, who was directing the remaining superpowered individuals to wipe out the stragglers of monsters, witnessed this scene firsthand.

He watched as Lin Chen swept across the entire arena with a single sword strike, displaying overwhelming combat power, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He finally realized that he had miscalculated from the very beginning. G3 Base was not a tough nut to crack, but rather possessed the absolute power to sweep across the entire Tokyo. His Newtype Alliance was utterly vulnerable in the face of Orga's power.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the mutated monster, he would have already become a dead soul under the Earth Emperor's sword.

Chapter 89 The Hidden Dangers of the Alliance

The battlefield quickly returned to calm, leaving only rubble, metal fragments, and a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Kurosaki gathered the remaining superpowered individuals. The elite force of two hundred men had dwindled to less than 150, all wounded, demoralized, and in a sorry state. He faced off against Lin Chen and Hikawa Makoto, who were guarding the base entrance. His arrogance had vanished, leaving only apprehension and resentment.

He knew that if he attacked now, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock, and would only result in the annihilation of his remaining troops.

After a moment of silence, Kurosaki abandoned all his arrogance and ambition, lowered his posture, and shouted at Lin Chen with an extremely seductive tone.

"Your power shouldn't be confined to that tiny underground base! Following G3, you'll only be able to eke out a living with a bunch of civilians!"

"If you cooperate with me, the two of us can jointly rule Tokyo, and even dominate the entire world! Power, resources, and the submission of all superpowered beings will all be split equally! You will become the emperor of this new world!"

These words are undeniably tempting.

Lin Chen didn't respond at all. He slowly raised the Earth Emperor Sword, and dark golden photon blood condensed on the blade again, its light flowing.

He directly rejected Kurosaki's offer with his actions.

Kurosaki's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He clenched his teeth, and the wound at the corner of his mouth reopened, oozing blood.

He knew that there was no way to reverse the situation today.

The siege failed, many of his elite troops were lost, and he witnessed Orga's terrifying combat power. He no longer had the resources to contend with the G3 base.

With a cold snort and no further words, he waved his hand, turned around with the remaining superpowered individuals, and staggered away with the wounded towards the Ginza Fortress. His figure disappeared into the depths of the ruins, and the siege crisis was finally temporarily averted.

Lin Chen sheathed the Earth Emperor Sword, the Orga armor dissipated, and he turned to walk towards the G3 base.

The energy barrier slowly retracted, and Bingchuan Cheng quickly followed.

Inside the underground shelter, Sato Yuki, holding a crayon drawing, peeked out and smiled sweetly when she saw Lin Chen return safely. Sato Genji breathed a sigh of relief, silently turned around and went back to the kitchen to prepare a pot of hot soup for everyone.

In the control room, Sumiko Ozawa watched the monitor screen, her tense nerves finally relaxing as she raised her hand to rub her temples.

Takahiro Omuro looked at the disappearing signal on the radar, let out a long sigh of relief, and slumped into his chair.

The red alert at G3 base immediately ceased. The energy barrier slowly retracted, and the defense team immediately cleared the battlefield. The medical team carried the wounded and rushed to the treatment room.

The door to the underground conference room was pushed open.

Ozawa, Hikawa, Hojo, Omuro, and representatives of the awakened individuals who were assisting in the defense entered in turn.

All eyes were fixed on Lin Chen. Their gazes held gratitude and awe.

Today's battle has completely shocked everyone with Orga's combat power.

That blade of light that traversed the ruins wiped out more than thirty mutated monsters with a single strike.

They finally understood that Lin Chen's words before the war—that he could wipe out all the enemies—were not just empty boasts, but a proven ability. This power, used to defend the base, was everyone's source of confidence. But if it got out of control, it would be utter annihilation.

Bingchuan Cheng was the first to stand up and bow slightly to Lin Chen. His tone was sincere.

“Mr. Lin Chen, if it weren’t for you today, the base would have already been breached. We will all remember this kindness.”

He paused, struggling to change the subject.

"But the Alliance's superpowered individuals are, after all, human. There are very few living people left in Tokyo. We are completely cut off from the outside world and know nothing about the situation there. The human race cannot withstand internal strife. I implore you to exercise restraint in the future. Do not kill unless the base is breached and civilians are in danger. Leave a sliver of hope for survival."

Lin Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He understood what the glacier was thinking.

Sumiko Ozawa chimed in, "The base is running out of supplies and medicine is scarce. Every person who survives is a better chance of survival."

Shiro Mizushiro, the representative of the superpowered individuals, also chimed in.

“Mr. Lin Chen, we know you are doing this to protect everyone. But we are also human beings, and we also want to live. Many of those in the alliance were forced into this situation. Let's leave them a way to change their ways.”

Hojo Toru's expression remained cold and hard; he did not speak.

Takahiro Omuro huddled beside the control panel, not daring to lift his head. He pushed up his glasses, which had slipped down to the tip of his nose, and spoke in a barely audible voice.

"Mr. Lin Chen, everyone thinks the same way... If we can avoid killing, let's not kill."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Everyone was waiting for Lin Chen's reply. The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became clear.

Lin Chen sat in the corner, his fingertips gently stroking the Didi phone.

The cool metallic touch made his thoughts even clearer.

He is not a bloodthirsty person. The reason he spoke before the war was to give everyone a choice. Now that their meaning is clear, he will not object.

But he felt very uneasy.

Unknown has been silent for a long time.

As creations of the dark forces, their mission is to eliminate the light forces.

The power of light is now rampant, the entire population is awakening, and mutated monsters are running rampant. The power of darkness cannot stand idly by.

The silence is not disappearance, but a preparation for the final reckoning. Once the power of darkness awakens, the Unknown will unleash their full force. That will be the true cataclysmic crisis, far more terrifying than the Alliance or the mutated monsters.

If these words were spoken aloud, the morale of the people in the base, which had just been stabilized, would immediately crumble.

It would only create unnecessary panic, be pointless, and disrupt everyone's rhythm. Even if I were to speak to him, I could only do so privately with Ozawa.

The silence lasted for a full half minute.

Lin Chen finally nodded slightly without saying a word.

A simple action brought a sigh of relief to everyone. Sumiko Ozawa immediately began making arrangements.

"First, reinforce the base defenses and upgrade the energy barrier."

Then she gave instructions to everyone in turn: "Omuro, keep a close watch on the radar 24/7. Don't miss any of the three types of signals: mutated monsters, external superpowered individuals, and Unknown. Hikawa and Hojo, take turns leading patrols. While searching for supplies, be vigilant against the Alliance's counterattack. Lin Chen, you are the core mobile combat force. Be on standby at all times to deal with any sudden crisis."

She paused, then continued, "In addition, take inventory of all remaining supplies. Rations and medicines should be distributed strictly according to rations. Starting today, the base will be on Level Two alert. We will not launch an offensive, nor will we fear any invading enemy."

Everyone agreed in unison and turned to leave the meeting room.

...

On the other side, at the Ginza Fortress.

Ryuichi Kurosaki clutched his chest as he stepped off the chariot. The pain from the fractured bones in his chest was like a tearing ache in his nerves with every step.

That was the injury left by Lin Chen's punch.

A full-force attack, fifteen times stronger than an average person, nearly killed him.

Behind them were only a little over 150 remaining soldiers. Nearly a quarter of the two hundred elite troops had been lost before the battle even truly began, and their morale had completely collapsed.

The Awakened within the fortress erupted in chaos upon witnessing this scene. They sought out acquaintances among the elite to inquire about the situation.

Soon, rumors spread like wildfire, like a plague.

"Our leader failed. Are we finished?"

"Will the people from G3 base come to Ginza?"

Panic spread rapidly among the crowd.

Kurosaki Ryu's face was ashen, and he completely ignored the whispers. He walked steadily toward the top-floor command room.

The more desperate the situation, the more he needs to maintain his composure. If he shows any sign of weakness, the alliance will immediately fall apart.

Back in the command room, Kurosaki immediately pressed the communicator button.

"Summon all senior executives for an immediate meeting."

Within five minutes, the leaders of both the radical and moderate factions had arrived.

The atmosphere in the command center was oppressive. Everyone knew about today's crushing defeat and that a countermeasure had to be devised.

But as soon as they opened their mouths, the two factions immediately started arguing.

The radical leader was a burly man with a fiery temper.

He slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Kurosaki's nose, cursing.

"It's all because you underestimated the enemy and acted rashly that so many of our brothers have been lost!"

Now is the time to unleash all available forces and wipe out all survivor settlements!

"Take over their resources, incorporate their people! Then concentrate all our forces and raze G3 base to the ground!"

"In chaotic times, the strong prey on the weak. Only by killing all the rebels can we unify Tokyo and accomplish our great cause!"

The moderate leader, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, immediately retorted.
