As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

She gathered energy at her fingertips and lunged at Kurosaki. Kurosaki used his metal blade to parry, the energy striking the blade and sparking. He flashed to the Queen's side, his palm forming a fist of metal, and slammed it down on her. The Queen dodged with agility, her venomous blade slashing at Kurosaki, but he blocked it with a metal shield.

The three subordinate Venerables immediately surrounded and nimbly entangled with Kurosaki, releasing poisonous mist to assist the Queen in the battle.

Several powerful superhumans under his command immediately came to his aid. The electrician released an electric current to injure one of his subordinates, while the water manipulator condensed water blades to cut through the enemy formation. Together with Kurosaki, they held back the queen and her subordinates.

Hundreds of snake-like minions frantically climbed and charged, gradually shrinking the defensive line. Many superpowered individuals were exhausted and bitten by the minions' venomous fangs.

Knowing that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous, Kurosaki narrowed his eyes and shouted to his subordinates, "Control the stones to stabilize the ground, control the electricity to enhance the metal!" The stone controllers immediately exerted their power, and the ground instantly solidified;

The controller injected electricity into the metal manipulated by Kurosaki. Kurosaki clenched his fist, and countless metal fragments gathered together, forming a fine metal cage that precisely trapped Queen Serpent within.

The Queen flew into a rage, unleashing a toxin of poisonous mist, only to have it vaporized by the conductive metal cage, and herself burned by the electric current. Kurosaki leaped into the air, controlling the cage to contract and compress, while the energy of his superpowered subordinates converged into it. The Queen let out a piercing scream, her scales shattering and turning into particles of light.

Without the Queen's leadership, the three subordinate Venerables became even more ferocious, leading the remaining grunts to charge at the steel fortress. However, the fortress walls were sturdy, and Kurosaki manipulated metal to form a defensive barrier on the city walls. In addition, with the interception of the superpowered individuals, the grunts' charges were repeatedly repelled.

Kurosaki led his men back to the fortress, closed the gates and held firm. His three subordinate Venerables roared and rammed outside the city, but could not budge the fortress. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, with smoke and poisonous fog mingling as they awaited the next battle.

The stalemate between the steel fortress and the wasteland has lasted for a full day.

On the fortress walls, the superhumans of the New Human Alliance looked exhausted, their eyes bloodshot. Days of vigilance and sporadic skirmishes had drained their strength.

Kurosaki Ryu stood atop the highest point, his fingertips still shimmering with a faint metallic sheen, his sharp gaze fixed on the outside of the city—three Serpent Lords were coiled on a rock not far away, their crimson vertical pupils locked on the fortress, while the remaining dozens of miscellaneous soldiers were scattered around, occasionally emitting low hisses, but no longer daring to charge rashly.

Dark green marks from snake venom still lingered on the walls, and the air was thick with the stench of fish and gunpowder, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

The Serpent Lord tribe outside the city was in a similar predicament. After the queen's death, they were leaderless. Although their three subordinate lords were still ferocious, they could not break through the metal defensive barrier controlled by Kurosaki. Several charges resulted in heavy losses, and they were now in a tense standoff. Only the poisonous mist surrounding them silently proclaimed the threat.

In the midst of this deadly silence, the sky suddenly darkened.

The once clear sky gradually gathered into a pale blue mist. As the mist churned, a gentle yet undeniably powerful aura slowly descended from the heavens.

A sudden gust of wind swept away the poisonous fog and smoke of the battlefield, revealing a holy figure suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a flowing aura of water, like a judge who wields the laws of water.

That is Femineus, the water angel, a high-ranking lord of the water element in the El Lord.

She wore light blue streamlined armor, the surface of which shimmered like flowing water. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her narrow eyes held no warmth. The water elemental energy flowing around her made the air on the entire battlefield damp and cold.

A clear and sacred voice, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the battlefield, piercing through the walls of the steel fortress and clearly reaching the ears of every member of the New Human Alliance and the Serpent Lord, carrying an undeniable sense of judgment: "The unclean power must be purified."

The moment the words fell, the entire hall fell silent.

Chapter 92 Trial: The Collapse of the New Human Alliance

The water angel's figure, suspended in mid-air, resembled an insurmountable mountain. The oppressive aura emanating from the high-ranking El Lord made everyone in the room feel suffocated.

On the walls of the Ginza Fortress, the superpowered members of the New Human Alliance stood frozen, their legs trembling. Some could barely grip their weapons, while others were deathly pale, lacking even the courage to raise their heads.

The remnants of the Serpent Lord's forces outside the city prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. No matter how ferocious they were, they were nothing but ants before the Water Angel.

Ryuichi Kurosaki stood at the highest point, the metallic sheen of his fingertips trembling slightly. He was afraid too, but he was the leader of the alliance, and if he showed weakness, the alliance would fall apart completely.

"Raise your heads, all of you!" Kurosaki roared, his voice piercing through the oppressive aura and echoing throughout the entire fortress.

"It's just a monster, what's there to be afraid of?"

He leaped onto the highest watchtower atop the city wall, his gaze sweeping over his men, his tone arrogant and ruthless.

"We are a new kind of human! We are powerful beings with superpowers! The monsters of the past couldn't stop us, and this one today won't either!"

"I, Ryuichi Kurosaki, will lead you to defeat all enemies!"

"Sweep through Tokyo and rule the world!"

These words carried his usual ambition, as well as the confidence to forcefully maintain his stance.

His roar slightly awakened the superhumans under his command. Yes, they were New Humans, strong individuals who had survived dire circumstances. No matter how strong their opponent was, they couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Morale gradually rose, and their trembling bodies slowly straightened their backs.

Upon seeing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Kurosaki's eyes.

This was exactly the effect he wanted; as long as morale remained high, they still had a fighting chance. But he also knew that the Water Angel's strength was terrifying, and a direct confrontation would be certain death.

After a moment's hesitation, Kurosaki beckoned to one of his trusted confidants.

"Go and negotiate with the leader."

"Let's say we can divide up the territory and not invade each other's territory."

"We could even cooperate with her to rule humanity and share this land."

The confidant turned pale and shook his head repeatedly: "Leader, that monster is too terrifying, I..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Kurosaki interrupted sharply. "This is an order! If you don't go, you'll die right now! If you go, there's a sliver of hope!"

The confidant was trembling with fear and could only grit his teeth and cautiously walk down from the fortress.

He walked step by step toward the water angel, his legs trembling so much he could barely move. When he reached the water angel, his confidant bowed respectfully, his voice trembling.

"My lord, my leader, Kurosaki Ryuichi, humbly requests peace talks with you. We are willing to grant you half of Tokyo's territory, to jointly govern humanity, and to agree not to invade each other's lands..."

Before he could finish speaking, the water angel didn't even spare him a glance.

His cool eyes remained fixed straight ahead, as if the human before him were nothing more than a speck of dust.

The next second, the water angel gently waved the scepter in her hand.

A pale blue water elemental light shone, and several water-attribute Unknowns appeared out of thin air.

One of the crabs, its claws gleaming with a cold light, walked step by step toward its confidant.

The confidant was terrified and turned to run. But the Crab Master was incredibly fast and suddenly swung his pincers.

A crisp "snap" sounded.

The confidant didn't even have time to scream before his body collapsed to the ground.

Kurosaki, standing atop the city wall, could see everything clearly.

His face instantly turned ashen, his metallic luster flared, and his anger nearly burst from his chest. He hadn't expected the water angel to be so disrespectful, instantly killing his messenger.

This is not only a refusal to negotiate, but also a blatant humiliation!

"Good! Very good!"

Kurosaki gritted his teeth, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"If we can't reach an agreement, then let's fight it out!"

"Pass on my order: summon all the alliance's main forces!"

"Radicals, moderates, all superpowered individuals capable of fighting, assemble!"

"Today, we will take the initiative and crush these monsters!"

The order was given, and the entire Ginza Fortress instantly erupted in excitement.

The remaining superpowered individuals, whether radical or moderate, all gathered together. Kamiya Juro, leading the remnants of the radical faction, was covered in wounds, yet his eyes remained fierce.

The commander of Xinhuan Castle also abandoned his gentle demeanor and led his men over with a solemn expression.

In just ten minutes, thousands of superpowered individuals had all assembled.

They held weapons, each surrounded by their own aura of power, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was fear, resentment, and madness, but not a single person retreated. Kurosaki Ryuichi leaped off the city wall, landing at the very front of the group.

"Warriors!" he roared, metal shards coalescing in his palm. "Today, kill these monsters or die in battle!"

"Follow me, and kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Thousands of superpowered individuals roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

They abandoned the fortress's defensive advantage and launched an attack towards the water angels.

The water angel hovered in mid-air, watching the charging crowd with an expression that remained calm. In her eyes, these charging humans were no different from ants.

"The power of impurity will be completely purified."

As the cold voice faded, the water angel waved her scepter once more.

"They all came out of the nest."

Following her command, several water-attribute Venerables and hundreds of water-attribute soldiers rushed out instantly.

Crab Master, Octopus Master, Squid Master...

One after another, powerful water-attribute Unknowns surged forth like a tide, rushing towards the charging superpowered individuals.

The battle erupted instantly.

Kamiya Juro charged ahead, flames blazing in his palms, as he lunged at a henchman.

The flames scorched the soldier's body, but the soldier paid no attention and scratched Kamiya Juro's arm with a backhand claw.

With a roar, Kamiya Juro unleashed a burst of flames, burning the minions into particles of light.

Before he could catch his breath, two octopus lords suddenly attacked from both sides, their tentacles wrapping around his body.

Kamiya Juro struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free.

The tentacles tightened their grip, and eventually, his body was shredded by them.

Xin Huan Shoucheng manipulated the vines, attempting to entangle the Crab Venerable, but the Crab Venerable severed the vines with a single pincer.

A burst of pale blue water elemental energy erupted, and Crab Venerable swung out his pincers, piercing straight through the chest of Xinhuan Shoucheng.

Xin Huan Shoucheng's eyes widened, and his body slowly fell down, turning into particles of light and dissipating.

The alliance's two leaders were instantly killed in battle. Their superhuman subordinates were plunged into dire straits.

The flames of the fire wielder were easily extinguished by the water element of the unknown water attribute.

The rocks manipulated by the rock manipulators are eroded and softened by the water element, making them extremely vulnerable.

The current from the controller falls onto the water element barrier and is instantly absorbed, having no effect whatsoever.

The water-attribute attack, an unknown one, is sharp and deadly.

Each swing, each burst of energy, can take the lives of several superpowered individuals.

Screams, roars, and the sounds of colliding energy mingled together.

But this was not a battle at all; it was a one-sided massacre.
