As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

A deep, heavy aura swept over me, making my heart tighten.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a burly figure slowly emerged, standing over two meters tall. His entire body was covered in heavy, dark brown armor, and his outline resembled that of a lion. The ferocious markings on his head exuded an innate aura of power. Lin Chen recognized him—one of the three supreme deities—the Earth Angel.

Lin Chen's eyes instantly filled with seriousness.

The earth angel gripped a longsword with an ancient design—the Tower of Piety—in one hand. The blade gleamed with a dark, cold light. He landed steadily, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly. His icy eyes were fixed on the human settlement before him, filled with an unclean aura.

Without any extra movements, the Earth Angel raised his hand and delivered a powerful slash. The heavy sword pierced through the air and slammed into the base's defensive barrier. With another loud bang, the alloy wall cracked even more.

"We can't let it continue to destroy the base!" Lin Chen's expression turned grim. Without further hesitation, he inserted the card into his belt slot. "Transform!"

A dazzling stream of light instantly enveloped his body, and armor interwoven with black and dark gold quickly covered his limbs and torso.

Holding the Earth Emperor Sword, Lin Chen flashed forward and charged straight at the Earth Angel.

Bingchuan, wielding the GX-05 Cerberus Vulcan cannon, charged forward, closely following Lin Chen to the battlefield.

Just then, a figure in silver-gray G3-II armor appeared from the entrance of the G3 base; it was none other than Toru Hojo, who was on high alert.

Seeing this, he joined the battle without hesitation, and the three of them formed a triangle, firmly surrounding the earth angel in the middle.

Battle is imminent.

Glacier fired first, the Vulcan cannon mounted on the G3-X spewing out dense tongues of fire, and armor-piercing bullets rained down on the Earth Angel. But when they landed on its thick armor, they only sparked a series of blinding sparks, not even leaving a shallow mark, completely unable to penetrate its defenses.

The angel of the earth was completely unconcerned about the oncoming barrage of fire. His expression was icy as he exerted force in his arm, and the Tower of Piety cleaved out with immense power. The sword wind howled, and the air itself was cut with a muffled sound.

Glacier's eyes narrowed, and he immediately rolled to the side to dodge. His heavy sword slammed into the ground, instantly cracking the hard cement floor with deep, spiderweb-like fissures, demonstrating terrifying destructive power.

Hojo maneuvered the G3-II to flank from the side, using his assault rifle to fire in short bursts, precisely targeting the weak point at the joint of the Earth Angel.

However, the earth angel's physical defense was already extremely strong, and ordinary gun attacks were like tickling. Suddenly, the ground beneath its feet trembled slightly, and its body sank into the ground. Using its ability to move underground, it instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Beware of underground attacks!" Lin Chen warned in a deep voice, gripping the Earth Emperor Sword tightly and focusing his attention on guard.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground behind Lin Chen suddenly exploded into rubble, and the Earth Angel burst forth, its heavy sword aimed straight for his vital points with a swift and cunning attack. Lin Chen reacted extremely quickly, turning around and raising his Earth Emperor Sword to block. The two swords collided with a deafening roar, and a violent shockwave exploded outwards from the point of impact, instantly shattering the surrounding abandoned facilities.

A surge of immense power flowed through the sword, causing Lin Chen's arm to go slightly numb. He could clearly feel the terrifying, innate strength of the Earth Angel.

The close-quarters combat began instantly. The Earth Angel's fighting style was brutal and steady, without any fancy moves. Every sword strike was powerful and heavy, and every move was aimed at vital points. He relied on his invincible physical body to withstand all attacks and seized any openings to launch fierce counterattacks.

A faint, scorching glow emanated from its palm, with fine, crimson sand particles swirling around its fingertips. This was its unique hot sand ability, and the scorching heat emanated from it. Once touched, it could instantly burn armor and corrode the body.

Lin Chen controlled the Earth Emperor to engage in close combat with the Earth Angel. The Earth Emperor's sword flew up and down, colliding frequently with the Shrine of Piety, the crisp sound of metal clashing echoing endlessly. However, the Earth Angel's defense was simply too outrageous. His punches and kicks had no effect on it. Instead, it would occasionally use its underground stealth to suddenly change positions and flank from behind, forcing Lin Chen to retreat and defend continuously.

Hikawa and Hojo were also busy, working in perfect harmony, constantly moving and restraining the Earth Angel from the left and right. G3-X, with its agile mobility, constantly switched weapon modes, bombarding the Earth Angel with missiles and firearms in turn, attracting its attention; while G3-II was steady and methodical, accurately predicting the opponent's movements, occasionally getting close to probe and restricting its range of movement.

This was a fierce and arduous battle. The three attacked in turn, but they could not break through the earth angel's heavy armor. Instead, they had to be constantly wary of its heavy sword strikes and the corrosive heat of its sand. A slight mistake would result in serious injury.

The Earth Angel remained calm and domineering, neither arrogant nor impatient. Relying on its absolute physical strength and underground mobility, it steadily suppressed the three, showing no signs of defeat.

After several rounds of fighting, everyone realized that conventional attacks were no match for this Venerable One.

Hikawa immediately gave Hojo a look, and the two instantly understood and reached a tacit agreement. They stopped their blind assault and instead accelerated their advance. G3-X, carrying a heavy cannon on its shoulder, faced the Earth Angel head-on, deliberately drawing all its firepower; Hojo, controlling G3-II, charged from the side, precisely blocking the Earth Angel's movements and tightly binding its limbs.

Holding the Earth Angel back with unwavering resolve, it flew into a rage, letting out a low roar as it swept its greatsword wildly, spewing forth scorching sand from its palms. A wave of intense heat swept across the area as it exerted all its pressure, desperately trying to break free. Hikawa and Hojo gritted their teeth and withstood the impact, their armor slightly burning from the heatwave as they held their ground, giving the Earth Angel no chance to break free and regroup.

It's now!

Seizing this fleeting opening, Lin Chen immediately pulled back to create distance, activated his ultimate attack command, raised the Earth Emperor Sword high, and his photon blood energy frantically converged towards the sword.

As the local angels sensed the danger and tried to break free and defend, Hikawa and Hojo simultaneously retreated sharply, avoiding the sweeping attack of the heavy sword. In that instant, Lin Chen had already completed his preparations.

His figure leaped into the air, swooping down with the force of tearing through the sky. The Earth Emperor's ultimate strike, brimming with energy, crashed down, the giant energy blade striking the Earth Angel's heavy chest armor with unerring accuracy.

A dull, deafening roar erupted, shattering the seemingly indestructible heavy armor and instantly disrupting and dissipating the dark energy. The earth angel let out a low, mournful cry, its massive body collapsing heavily to the ground, the chilling aura surrounding it slowly dissipating as it lost all life.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, the base's damaged outer walls remained a scene of utter devastation. Lin Chen deactivated his transformation, and Hikawa and Hojo removed their armor. The three of them gazed at the Earth Angels on the ground, which were beginning to materialize into light particles. All three wore expressions of exhaustion from the fierce battle, and their tense minds finally began to relax.

Chapter 94 The Creator's Declaration of Destruction

After the Earth Angel's body turned into particles of light and dissipated, the people at G3 base did not breathe a sigh of relief for long.

The chaos around the world continues to escalate.

The Unknown operation has long since extended beyond Tokyo, spreading to every corner of the globe.

Whether it's a survivor settlement in the Americas or a superpower stronghold in Europe, wherever there is a trace of the power of light, it will be indiscriminately wiped out by the Unknown.

News fragments, transmitted through broken signals, were filled with desperate cries of agony—a settlement was wiped out overnight, a superpowered squad was completely destroyed, food was stolen, water sources were contaminated, and humans were killing each other in the chaos, a scene more chilling than the Unknown massacre.

Within Tokyo, scattered Unknowns still wander among the ruins, clearing away every last trace of light.

At the G3 base, everyone performed their duties diligently, without daring to slack off in the slightest.

Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru, along with several members of the defense team, were repairing the damaged outer wall of the base. Metal fragments of armor were piled up to the side, and the sound of hammering echoed around them.

Takahiro Omuro squatted in the supply warehouse, repeatedly counting the supplies brought back by Lin Chen and Hikawa Makoto. His brows were furrowed, and he kept muttering, "The food is enough for five days, the medicine is barely enough, and we're still short of energy components..."

Sumiko Ozawa stood by the window of the control room, gazing at the distant, gray ruins with a solemn expression.

Although the earth angel was killed, she knew in her heart that this was only temporary peace.

The Unknown reckoning will never end here.

Lin Chen leaned against the corner of the corridor wall, his fingertips stroking the Didi phone, his senses spreading out, alert to everything around him.

He could sense that the dark energy in the air was becoming increasingly concentrated, as if an even greater storm was quietly brewing.

Just then, a cold, hollow voice spread across every corner of the globe without warning.

Without any medium, it clearly reached the ears of every human being, carrying an irresistible pressure, as if it came from the ends of the earth.

"I gave you a chance."

"But you have proven that humanity does not deserve a future."

“Your greed, selfishness, and cruelty disgust me.”

"Seven days from now, I will completely purify this world. All life will be able to start anew."

As the sound faded, the world fell into a brief silence, which was followed by even greater chaos.

Some thought it was a hallucination, some thought it was a prank by a powerful superhuman, and others panicked but couldn't find any way to deal with it.

The vast majority of people scoffed at it.

"What world purification? That's just insane!"

"These days, anyone with a bit of ability dares to come out and pretend to be a ghost or a shaman?"

"Seven days later? Let's see if he can even live to see tomorrow!"

People deliberately avoid this fear, still struggling to survive in the chaos, as if that demise declaration was just an insignificant rant.

But Lin Chen at the G3 base tensed up instantly upon hearing the sound, his face turning deathly pale.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the direction of Tokyo Tower, his eyes filled with extreme solemnity and fear.

This way of speaking is called Douzhen.

The source of the power of darkness, the creator of all the Unknown and humanity, the creator of this world.

He thought Touma would remain silent until all the power of light was cleared away before he would reappear, since there was no true Agito. He never expected that Touma would announce the countdown to the end of the world to all humanity in this way.

Seven days.

In just seven days, this world, and all life, will start anew.

Lin Chen's fingers trembled slightly as he gripped the Earth Emperor phone tightly.

He knew that Dou Zhen's words were no exaggeration.

"Lin Chen?"

Sumiko Ozawa noticed his unusual behavior and quickly walked over.

She saw that Lin Chen's face was ashen, his body was tense, and the fear in his eyes was something she had never seen before.

Unlike the solemnity when facing the earth angels, this was a despair that penetrated to the bone.

The others in the base also looked over, their faces full of doubt.

Although they also heard the announcement, they did not react as strongly as Lin Chen.

Ozawa Sumiko didn't ask in front of everyone; she simply patted Lin Chen's shoulder gently, signaling him to come with her.

The two entered the control room. Xiao Ze closed the door and, after making sure no one would disturb them, asked urgently, "Lin Chen, do you know something?"

"Whose voice is that? What exactly does he mean by purification?"

There was a hint of panic in Ozawa's tone.

The Lin Chen she knew had never looked like this, no matter how powerful the enemy was.

Lin Chen remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, the fear in his eyes gradually replaced by heaviness.

He knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret.

Especially now, with only seven days left, he must let Xiaoze know the truth, and let everyone know the truth.

“His name is Touma,” Lin Chen’s voice was hoarse. “He is the origin of the power of darkness, the creator of all the Unknown and humanity.”

"All the Unknowns we encountered before were tools used by his men to cleanse the power of light."

Sumiko Ozawa shuddered, her face turning deathly pale.

Although she suspected the voice belonged to someone extraordinary, she never imagined it was actually the Creator. Her scientific background prevented her from believing it. But Lin Chen's fear was undeniable.

"So what he said...purifying the world and returning?" Xiaoze's voice trembled slightly, hoping to hear good news.

“It’s the end of the world.” Lin Chen said, each word heavy with emotion. “Human greed, selfishness, and infighting have made him feel that humanity is no longer worthy of a future. In seven days, he will personally take action to completely annihilate all life in this world and reset everything.”

"Our previous slaying of the earth angels and defeat of those Unknowns were nothing more than the struggles of ants in his eyes."

Sumiko Ozawa staggered back a step.

She remained calm throughout, never giving up even when faced with attacks from high-ranking figures or when the base was on the verge of collapse.

She believed that as long as everyone worked together and continuously improved their combat strength, they would eventually survive and wait for the day when order was restored.

But now, Lin Chen is telling her that they are facing the Creator.

They had to fight with all their might to barely kill the angels before, so what chance did they have against the Creator?

Despair, like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelmed Sumiko Ozawa.
