As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

The Wind Angel hovered high in the sky, its wings fluttering gently. With a wave of its left hand, the scattered gale suddenly gathered, transforming into several sharp, spiraling wind blades that sliced horizontally across the ground, heading straight for Lin Chen. Wherever the wind blades passed, deep trenches were carved into the road, sending fragments of stone flying and emitting a piercing whistling sound.

Lin Chen stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, his crimson single eye fixed on the Wind Angel high in the sky. The crisp clanging sounds were incessant as the spiraling wind blades slammed into the armor, only scattering tiny sparks without leaving any damage. However, the force of the wind blades forced him to take two steps back, and the rubble beneath his feet was crushed into powder.

He wanted to counterattack, but seeing the wind angel flying in the air, he had no choice but to defend passively.

Seeing that the wind blade attack was useless, the Wind Angel immediately raised her hand and aimed her weapon at Lin Chen—the Merciful Kamasa Light Longbow.

The bowstring gleamed with a soft yet deadly white light. She released the bowstring, and an arrow shot through the air.

The speed of the light arrow is as fast as lightning.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately slid to the side to dodge.

The light arrow grazed his shoulder armor and landed. The moment it hit the ground, it suddenly emitted a blinding white light, and the soil and rocks beneath his feet instantly and silently melted away, leaving a deep crater.

Fortunately, Hojo Toru had just dragged his tattered G3 armor away from the battlefield.

The Wind Angel gave Lin Chen no chance to catch his breath, flapping its wings and circling at high speed. As it flew, a ring of wind pressure constantly rose, trapping Lin Chen in a sealed, raging wind barrier. Inside the barrier, rubble and withered branches were swept up by the gale and bombarded the Earth Emperor's armor like a torrential rain, producing a dense series of impact sounds, attempting to gradually deplete his energy and break down his defenses.

Lin Chen stood in the center of the barrier, his body slightly bent, resisting the suppression of the gale. He could feel the force of the gale growing stronger and stronger.

He stared intently at the wind angel hovering high in the sky—passive defense was never the solution; only by taking the initiative could he break through this suppression.

Nearly ten minutes passed in this way.

Pulled back and continuously suppressed by the Wind Angel from a distance, Lin Chen unleashed his ferocity. He abandoned his defensive stance, and the dark golden photon energy channels on his armor lit up as he charged forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The energy surge erupted instantly, tearing apart the wind pressure surrounding it.

Breaking through the raging winds and turbulent currents, Lin Chen leaped into the air, heading straight for the Wind Angel high in the sky. The Earth Emperor Sword, wrapped in a golden photon blade, aimed directly at the Wind Angel's vitals.

The Wind Angel was not to be outdone, and she put away her longbow. She folded her wings, forming sturdy feather armor in front of her, and at the same time extended her sharp claws covered in silver armor, sweeping them in a counterattack.

"boom!"

The two collided violently in mid-air, the sound of their impact echoing across the battlefield.

Lin Chen unleashed the brute force of the Earth Emperor Armor, his heavy punches and sword blades slamming into the Wind Angel's winged armor. Each strike was powerful and heavy; each time he landed, he leaped up again.

The Wind Angel moved with agility and grace, using the aerial ability of her wings to dodge attacks with ease. Even when hit, her wings and armor were able to withstand Lin Chen's fierce assault.

Her counterattack was succinct and precise, her claws slicing through the gaps in Lin Chen's armor.

In mid-air, dark golden photon energy and wind element energy intertwined and collided, forming powerful air waves that swept over the surrounding abandoned vehicles, blowing them off their feet and shattering them.

The two were locked in a fierce battle, their figures rapidly crisscrossing in the air, the sounds of metal clashing and energy colliding filling the air. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.

Lin Chen's breathing gradually quickened. The continuous onslaught had exhausted a lot of his strength, and the ferocity in his eyes grew stronger. He put all his strength into every attack, trying to break through the Wind Angel's defense and force her to reveal a weakness.

After a brief struggle, the Angel of Wind realized that close-quarters combat would not give her an absolute advantage. Lin Chen's brute strength far exceeded her expectations, and continuing the fight would not be in her best interest.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly soared into the sky, instantly widening the distance between herself and Lin Chen, regaining her aerial advantage and giving Lin Chen no chance to get close.

Immediately afterwards, she flapped her wings violently, creating a large-scale storm. The gale swept down from above, crushing and crushing Lin Chen. The powerful wind pressure caused him to fall from the sky. After landing, he could not stand steadily and staggered backward, leaving deep scratches on the ground with his legs, which greatly restricted his movement.

At the same time, the Wind Angel constantly changed its flight position, sometimes diving from the side with its claws aimed directly at Lin Chen's head; sometimes launching attacks from the upper diagonal, and immediately rising into the air after the attack, no longer engaging Lin Chen in close combat on the spot.

Lin Chen was slightly bent over by the strong wind, but remained completely composed. He switched the Earth Emperor Sword to short sword mode and fired energy projectiles continuously at the Wind Angel hovering in the sky. He constantly blocked the Wind Angel's flight path, preventing her from calmly charging up her arrows, while simultaneously trying to force her to lower the altitude and find an opportunity to get close.

The Wind Angel continued to nimbly dodge, occasionally getting hit by the aftershocks of the energy blasts, but remained calm and composed. While dodging, she also fired occasional beams of light, continuously suppressing his movements, resulting in a stalemate on the battlefield.

On the ground, Hojo Toru, relying on his remaining strength, slowly picked up the fallen GX-05 Cerberus weapon. He looked at the two men facing off, adjusting his breathing as he slowly channeled the remaining energy from his armor into the weapon. He knew he couldn't offer much help now; he could only silently accumulate strength and wait for the best opportunity to provide support.

After a long struggle, the Wind Angel finally lost her patience. She stopped wandering, spread her wings fully, and gathered all the wind elements in the surrounding world in front of her, forming a giant storm barrier. The storm contained sharp wind blades, and its terrifying aura was enough to devour everything.

At the same time, she once again summoned the Merciful Kamasa Longbow of Light, its body gleaming with dazzling white light, condensing three divine light arrows at once, the arrowheads pointing directly at Lin Chen, locking onto his location.

He released the bowstring. A gale-force wind carried three beams of light as they shot down, followed closely by a storm barrier, crushing towards Lin Chen like a cataclysmic disaster. The ground was stripped bare by the gale, and rubble flew everywhere. The entire battlefield was shrouded in white light and gale-force wind.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, knowing this was the decisive moment. He held nothing back, activating his ultimate attack command. The Earth Emperor Sword in his hand transformed into its longsword mode, glowing once more. Photon blood surged into the blade, causing it to gleam with a dazzling light that illuminated the entire ruins. He raised the Earth Emperor Sword high, his energy aura erupting once more, and with a fierce slash, he met the storm and the beams of light head-on!

Chapter 98 Evolution Again

A dull, deafening roar erupted as the giant light blade slashed head-on into the storm barrier, instantly tearing it apart and shattering it. A powerful energy shockwave swept across the entire area, sending nearby abandoned vehicles flying. At the same time, the light blade shattered two light arrows, and the remaining arrow broke through the energy ripples, striking Lin Chen's chest armor directly.

"puff--"

Lin Chen grunted, the armor on his chest dented, and his photon energy became slightly disordered. However, the Earth Emperor Armor's super strong defense allowed him to withstand the attack. He staggered back a few steps but did not fall. His crimson single eye remained locked on the Wind Angel.

Just then, Toru Hojo, who had been resting and gathering his strength on the sidelines, finally found the perfect opportunity. He channeled all his energy into the GX-05 Cerberus weapon, gripped it tightly with both hands, and pulled the trigger directly at the side of the Wind Angel.

A barrage of energy projectiles roared out, striking the Wind Angel precisely and creating a violent explosion. The Wind Angel let out a piercing scream, lost its footing, and plummeted from the sky. Large areas of its wings and armor were torn, and the wind elemental energy around it instantly became chaotic, making it impossible to maintain its levitation.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lin Chen used the smoke and dust from the explosion to instantly appear before the Wind Angel. The Earth Emperor Sword once again gathered energy and thrust directly at the Wind Angel's vital point.

The wind angel hastily tried to block with its winged armor, but to no avail. The blade pierced directly into its body, and photon energy erupted instantly.

It raged wildly inside her body, causing her to gradually disintegrate. A faint white light emanated from her body, eventually turning into countless particles of light and disappearing completely into the air.

After the Wind Angel was slain, Lin Chen deactivated his Earth Emperor form. His face was pale, and he staggered back a step, almost falling. He leaned against the abandoned vehicle beside him, panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.

Hojo Toru couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to his knees again, his breathing erratic. He slowly removed his damaged armor, revealing the gruesome wounds on his body, raised his head, looked at Lin Chen, and whispered, "Thanks."

Lin Chen shook his head and forced a smile: "Thank you, I'll accept it."

The two exchanged a glance, their tense nerves finally relaxing, and they let out a long sigh of relief. This battle had exhausted all their strength; without their cooperation, they probably wouldn't have been able to kill the Wind Angel.

Just as the two were resting, the sound of a motorcycle roared from afar, growing closer and closer. Two figures rode a heavy motorcycle at high speed and stopped at the edge of the battlefield.

After the motorcycle stopped, Hikawa Makoto, wearing G3-X armor, was the first to get off. His armor was also covered in dust, and his face was full of anxiety. He quickly walked to Lin Chen and Hojo's side, and seeing that the two were covered in injuries and looked disheveled, he asked urgently, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Following closely behind Hikawa Makoto as he got off the bus was a tall, robust man dressed in a dark blue casual shirt. He was about thirty-five years old, with a healthy wheatish complexion, slightly high cheekbones, a well-defined jawline, and thin lips, giving him a very serious appearance.

Shiro Mizuki, a representative of superhumans.

He was formerly a third lieutenant in the 1st Airborne Regiment of the Ground Self-Defense Force. When order was out of control, he also awakened his superpowers and reported them to his superior. However, his superior knew what kind of people the higher-ups were, and he directly expelled Mizuki Shiro from the regiment and forced him to retire. With nowhere to go, he witnessed the process of upheaval.

So he joined the shelter organization to shelter refugees, until he joined G3 base. Ozawa pulled out his file.

Shiro Mizuki stepped forward and nodded slightly to Lin Chen and Hojo: "Mr. Lin Chen, Mr. Hojo, thank you for your hard work!"

The two nodded slightly.

...

The roar of the motorcycles gradually subsided, and the gates of G3 base slowly opened. Lin Chen, Hojo Toru, Hikawa Makoto, and Mizushiro Shiro drove in. As soon as they landed, they each went about their assigned tasks.

Hikawa Makoto carefully helped Hojo Toru, and the two headed straight for the control room. Although Hojo was seriously injured, she insisted on reporting the situation to Ozawa Sumiko in person, since the attack involved a high-ranking Unknown and could not be taken lightly.

Shiro Mizuki drove the supply truck, gave a few instructions to the members of the defense team, and led them to the warehouse to categorize the energy components, medicines, and other supplies they had found.

Lin Chen didn't go to the control room; instead, he headed towards his room. At that moment, his only thought was to get a good night's sleep, recover his strength, and prepare for the upcoming crisis.

Back in his room, Lin Chen casually placed the Earth Emperor's phone on the table, collapsed onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep. The days of solitary hunting and night patrols, coupled with the deadly battle with the Wind Angel, had left him physically and mentally exhausted; soon, even snores filled the room.

Lin Chen suddenly woke up, not knowing how long he had slept. It was already late at night outside the window, and the base's warning lights cast faint shadows on the ground through the window.

He rubbed his throbbing forehead, got up as usual, changed into clean combat clothes, and took his Earth Emperor mobile phone and portable detection equipment—the closer the countdown to the end of the world got, the less he dared to let his guard down. Night patrols had long become his habit, which could both check for hidden dangers around the base and keep him in a sharp combat state.

The patrol route proceeded smoothly, and the base was completely silent, with only members of the defense team standing guard at their posts, occasionally punctuated by the faint sounds of machinery operating.

When Lin Chen patrolled to the vicinity of the equipment room, he vaguely heard conversations and the sound of machinery colliding inside. He paused and gently pushed open the half-closed door.

The equipment room was brightly lit, and Sumiko Ozawa was standing in front of the control panel, her brows furrowed, her eyes fixed on the armor design drawings in front of her, her fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, her expression focused and solemn.

Several technicians stood around, tools in hand, busily assembling a prototype of an armor set, the sounds of parts clattering together filling the air.

In the corner of the room, Hojo Toru's badly damaged G3-II armor was lying haphazardly. The chest plate was completely shattered, the outer shell of the armor was covered with cracks, and the parts were scattered all over the floor. Obviously, there was no need to repair it.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the new armor—the basic shape had been initially completed, the outline was smoother than G3-II, the armor thickness was significantly increased, and the defensive design of the shoulders and chest was more prominent, showing that it was specially designed to enhance both defense and attack power.

He didn't go forward to disturb them, gently closed the door, and continued along the patrol route with light footsteps.

Over the next few days, Ozawa Sumiko and the technicians worked day and night to push forward the research and development and assembly of the new armor; Hikawa Makoto took over the base's guard and defense deployment, expanded the defense range, and arranged for the defense team and the superhumans led by Mizuki Shiro to take turns on duty.

Hojo Toru is recuperating in the medical room, receiving treatment, and striving to regain his fighting strength as soon as possible;

Lin Chen maintained his routine of rising at sunrise and returning at night, setting off before dawn each day with portable detection equipment to hunt unknown and mutated monsters in more distant places.

He no longer deliberately selects targets; he will not let go of any monster that can accumulate evolution points.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the countdown to the end of the world.

Lin Chen wandered through a derelict commercial area, where high-rise buildings had collapsed and rubble was scattered everywhere.

The portable detection device at his waist flashed wildly, with countless red and yellow dots indicating that a large number of unknown and mutated monsters were gathered in the vicinity.

Arrive at the location of the prey.

His eyes narrowed, and without the slightest hesitation, he pressed the transformation button on the Earth Emperor's phone, "Transform!"

A dazzling stream of light enveloped him, and the Earth Emperor Armor, a blend of black and dark gold, instantly covered him. His crimson single eye lit up, and the Earth Emperor Sword appeared out of thin air, held in his hand. Lin Chen leaped into the midst of the monster horde, and battle erupted instantly.

Several mutated monsters charged forward, brandishing their sharp claws as they pounced on Lin Chen. Lin Chen dodged to the side, his Earth Emperor Sword sweeping out, instantly killing two of them. The burst of energy sent several other mutated monsters flying.

Immediately afterwards, an unknown creature rushed out from behind the ruins, waving its thick tentacles and attempting to entangle Lin Chen's body.

Instead of retreating, Lin Chen advanced, using his feet to move behind the Venerable One. The Earth Emperor Sword, filled with photon energy, pierced the Venerable One's vital point. Unknown let out a shrill scream and dissipated into countless particles of light.

The battle ended quickly.

Lin Chen lifted the Earth Emperor's armor.
