As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Cost of ability: It will accelerate the consumption of life essence.

After several days of intensive hunting, his three attributes had all reached critical values. If he allocated all his current evolution points to his mental abilities, he should be able to trigger the conditions for dual evolution. Hoping for a pleasant surprise, he no longer hesitated.

[Body Constitution 105/218]

Agility 100/214

[Mental state: 110/203]

Lifespan: 138 years

Evolution Points: 8

The host's Orphnoch form attributes have all reached 200. Should we evolve?

The host's Orphnoch form attributes have all reached 200. Should we evolve?

(Note: The host has been detected to have evolved once. You can consume your lifespan to activate accelerated evolution.)

A special energy source has been detected and is being collected.

[Power of Light] *1

[Dark Power] *1

After Lin Chen added the points, a series of changes appeared on the system panel.

Lin Chen had originally intended to evolve directly, but then he remembered that his first evolution had directly manifested as an Orphnoch, which made him hesitate. However, when he saw the system notification that he could accelerate evolution by consuming lifespan, he no longer hesitated. There was only one day left until the final judgment. There was no time to think any further.

Click "Evolve" directly.

*Ding! System notification: Human evolution requires a special source. One * [Power of Light] and one * [Power of Darkness] have been detected. Please select the source type.

Looking at the system's prompt, Lin Chen fell into deep thought.

[Power of Light]?

[The power of darkness]?

But he didn't remain silent for long before choosing the power of darkness. The power of light was incompatible with his Orphnoch death attribute, so he had no other choice.

Chapter 99 The God of Water and G4

After Lin Chen clicked "Evolve," his pupils instantly lost their luster. White threads appeared, wrapping around him in circles, forming a giant white cocoon. The cocoon slowly turned gray, then black.

However, problems arose at the G3 base on the other side.

A piercing red alarm suddenly blared in every corner of the G3 base, instantly turning the previously relatively peaceful underground space into chaos.

On the large screen in the main control room, countless points of light surged in from all directions like a tide, completely surrounding the base.

The surveillance footage showed that the Water Angel, who had suddenly retreated, had returned with her Water-attribute Venerables and miscellaneous soldiers.

Sumiko Ozawa tapped her fingers on the console, the communicator pressed against her ear.

"Lin Chen! Answer me if you hear me! Lin Chen!"

The crackling sound of the electricity was painful to the ears, but there was still no response.

Cold sweat trickled down his face, and there was only endless silence on the communicator.

"Director Ozawa, the energy barrier around the base is being depleted too quickly! The energy reserves are only 30% left, and it won't last more than ten minutes!" Takahiro Omuro's voice was choked with sobs as he frantically typed on the keyboard, the defense values ​​on the screen still plummeting.

Bingchuan Cheng held the G3-X helmet. He looked at the approaching Unknown Legion on the big screen, and without the slightest hesitation, turned around and headed towards the base entrance: "I'll go out and buy some time."

“But you can’t stop them all by yourself…” Ozawa Sumiko’s words were interrupted before she could finish.

“Hojo is still recovering in the hospital, and we can’t contact Mr. Lin Chen right now. The only one who can go out and fight is me,” Hikawa Makoto’s voice was firm. He put on his helmet and continued walking without pausing.

The base's defensive barrier slowly opened a narrow gap, and G3-X instantly surged into the open ruins. Instead of charging recklessly, he used the terrain of the barrier to gain a foothold, subtly adjusted his posture with his back thrusters, locked onto the three water-attribute Venerables in the front row, and accurately fired three high-power beam bullets.

Amidst the burst of energy and flames, a pale blue film of water appeared on the Venerable One's body, completely neutralizing the attack.

Sumiko Ozawa's voice came through the communication channel.

"This is a high-level Unknown position. G3-X has no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. Your mission is not to kill, but to hold them off until Lin Chen responds or the backup plan is activated. You are not allowed to engage in a direct confrontation."

"Understood," Bingchuan Cheng replied.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Bingchuan Cheng immediately switched tactics, and the Cerberus Cannon opened fire at full speed, with three energy beams intertwined to form a fire net, attempting to disrupt the Venerable's advancing formation.

The water-elemental beings let out shrieks, their figures swarming around the G3-X, their attacks slashing and crashing against its armored surface. The crisp clanging of metal against metal echoed continuously, and the shoulder and leg armor quickly became covered in scratches, the energy level dropping at a visible rate.

The Water Angel hovered behind the legion, observing indifferently until the Venerables' advance was hampered by G3-X's guerrilla tactics, at which point she slowly moved.

Seven or eight semi-transparent water blades materialized out of thin air, carrying divine energy as they fanned out towards Bingchuan Cheng. Bingchuan Cheng abruptly activated his thrusters, flipping to the side to dodge. Two water blades grazed his chest armor, tearing through the outer layer of armor, causing sparks to erupt from the internal circuitry.

He gritted his teeth and steadied himself, using his beam rifle to suppress the close-combat Venerable while circling the barrier pillars, trying to create distance from the Water Angel. However, the difference in strength between the high-ranking Venerables was obvious, and the Water Angel gave him no room to maneuver. The water blade once again pierced through the air, accurately hitting the G3-X's side power module.

A piercing alarm blared inside the armor, power output plummeted by sixty percent, and the thrusters completely shut down. Hikawa Makoto staggered and collapsed to his knees, his beam rifle flying from his grasp, his only remaining weapon on his right arm putting up a final stand. The Water Attribute Venerables seized the opportunity to close in.

"Retreat back inside the barrier! Immediately!" Sumiko Ozawa's command was firm and unquestionable.

With his last ounce of strength, Hikawa Makoto dragged his tattered armor back to the base, and the heavy energy barrier instantly closed. The Water Angel's beams of light followed, slamming into the barrier and causing violent ripples. Pale blue light flickered wildly, and spiderweb-like cracks spread to the edges, causing the energy level to plummet below twenty percent.

The civilians and superhumans in the shelter all heard the commotion outside. The panicked whispers grew louder and louder, the children's cries were tightly covered by the adults, and the entire base was shrouded in despair.

Just then, Shiro Mizushiro stepped out from the crowd. He stood tall and straight, still bearing the ruggedness of someone from the Self-Defense Forces. He strode to the door of the control room and shouted, "Director Ozawa, let us go! We espers, even if we risk our lives, can buy some time for the base!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a dozen or so young people who had awakened their abilities stepped forward, their eyes filled with a resolute determination to die. They all knew that once the base was breached, none of them would survive. Rather than waiting to be killed, they would charge out and fight.

Sumiko Ozawa suddenly looked up and shouted sharply, "No! Going up there is just suicide! You can't withstand an Unknown attack!"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch the base fall, and watch the old folks and children get hurt?" Shiro Mizuki clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, his voice filled with resentment. "We can't just wait like this!"

Sumiko Ozawa stared at him, took a deep breath to suppress the panic in her heart, and asked, word by word, "Mizushiro, what exactly is your superpower? Don't try to fool me. I've seen your file. You were a lieutenant in the 1st Airborne Brigade of the Ground Self-Defense Force. Your ability is definitely not just simple strength."

Shiro Mizuki paused for a moment, then spoke frankly, his voice steady: "My ability is all-round physical enhancement. Strength, speed, defense, and reaction all increase dramatically. To put it simply, it's about strengthening the body to its limit, so that it can withstand extreme loads that ordinary people cannot."

Sumiko Ozawa's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped at a last straw. She gritted her teeth, as if making the most difficult decision of her life, grabbed Shiro Mizushiro's wrist, and without another word, walked deeper into the corridor: "Come with me!"

The two walked through the empty, quiet corridor and arrived at the equipment room. The moment he pushed open the door, Shiro Mizushiro was completely stunned.

A suit of armor stood in the center. The armor's lines were sharp and clean; if Lin Chen were here, he would definitely recognize it as G4.

However, it is even more imposing and robust than the original G4.

Based on the original matte black of the G4, the original pure white monotonous lines were abandoned and replaced with dark gold gilding patterns exclusive to the Earth Emperor to outline the armor grooves.

"What is this?" Shiro Mizuki asked, somewhat surprised.

“This is newly developed armor.” Looking at the new G4 armor, Sumiko Ozawa had a complicated expression.

"Its operational load far exceeds the limits of the human body, causing serious damage such as internal organ rupture, muscle tissue necrosis, and bone fractures! There is simply no one in the current base who can handle it. I don't know if you can withstand it." Sumiko Ozawa turned to Shiro Mizushiro, her expression serious.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shiro Mizuki bowed deeply to Sumiko Ozawa, his tone resolute: "Director Ozawa, I request to go into battle fully equipped! I don't know if my physical enhancement is enough to withstand the burden, but even if it costs me my life, I will hold out until I can contact Mr. Lin Chen, and I will never let the base or the civilians fall into danger!"

Sumiko Ozawa looked at him and uttered only one word from her throat: "Okay."

Without saying anything more, she raised her hand and pressed the communicator, her voice calm and decisive: "All equipment team members, assemble in the equipment room immediately to assist with the G4 armor donning procedure."

Sumiko Ozawa immediately switched the communication channel and ordered Takahiro Omuro: "Omuro, immediately activate all the base's backup energy and reinforce the outer defense barrier with all your might, even if it means overloading! Make sure to buy enough time for the armor to be donned!"

Outside the base, artillery roared, shaking the earth. Heavy artillery emplacements continuously spewed flames, and a fierce barrage of fire felled the attacking Unknowns one after another. Strange bodies exploded and dissipated into particles of light.

But the battle situation did not improve. In mid-air, the Water Angel still hovered silently. She indifferently looked down at the fighting below, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a pale golden halo suddenly spread across the sky. As the halo swirled, several new Unknowns used the momentum to leap down, kicking up dust as they landed, and once again charged straight at the base's defenses.

The newly added enemies are even more powerful, with skin and flesh as hard as steel; ordinary artillery fire can only produce a few sparks when it hits them.

The pressure on the defensive line increased dramatically in an instant, but the defenders calmly responded, their weapons firing in rapid succession, creating a barrage of fire. The Water Angel remained high in the sky, observing the battle without a trace of emotion.

The outer defensive barrier grew increasingly dim, spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards, threatening to shatter completely at any moment, and panic was almost overflowing within the shelter. At this critical juncture, several heavy missiles suddenly roared out from the gaps in the barrier at the base entrance, streaking with fiery exhaust plumes as they slammed into the Unknown group.

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, flames and shockwaves sweeping outwards, instantly engulfing the front-line water-elemental minions and disrupting the Venerable's formation. The Water Angel, hovering in the air, frowned slightly, waving her sleeve to deflect the aftershocks of the explosion, her cold gaze fixed on the base entrance, awaiting the new figure that was about to appear.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, a tall and imposing figure emerged from the depths of the passage.

The heavy shoulder armor and tight breastplate were covered with intricate mechanical patterns, and the compound eyes shone with a cold light in the dim light.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and the attacking Unknown instinctively halted. The water angel high in the sky also glanced sideways, its gaze fixed firmly on the target.

Chapter 100 The Resurrected Angel

Shiro Mizuki did not wait.

His soldier's combat instincts instantly put him into combat readiness. The modified G4 stomped its foot, the ground cracked open, and its heavy armor surged forward at an unimaginable speed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The GX-05 modified assault gun fired first, its explosive shells trailing crimson flames as they hurtled straight towards the front-line water-draining lord.

The shockwave from the explosion swept outwards, and the three closest Venerables didn't even have time to struggle before they were instantly reduced to particles of light and vanished.

The missile launcher on the left shoulder unlocked simultaneously, and four heavy missiles roared out, exploding in flames among the Venerables, annihilating the miscellaneous soldiers in droves, and the formation instantly collapsed.

Beneath his helmet, Shiro Mizuki's face was cold and stern. He controlled the G4 like a god of war descending to earth, his melee weapon directly shattering the oncoming water blades.

The goddess above the water remained suspended in mid-air. She hadn't taken G4 seriously at first, but she found that G4's artillery fire was beginning to threaten her clearance progress. She raised her arm, without any exaggerated movements, and gently guided it—Divine Judgment? Water Judgment activated.

The invisible water god can condense in mid-air, transforming into several thin and deadly streams of light, silently attacking the modified G4.

Shiro Mizuki's eyes narrowed as he maneuvered his armor to the side to dodge, simultaneously using his assault cannon to block the attack head-on. Divine energy collided with the artillery fire, creating silent ripples of energy. The modified G4 shoulder armor was grazed in one spot, but remained undamaged—the resistance of the Luna Metal perfectly withstood the judgment attack of a higher god.

The god above the water paused slightly, a subtle ripple appearing for the first time in his indifferent eyes.

She never expected that human armor could withstand the judgment of the gods.

But she remained composed.

With a swift movement, it transformed into a pale blue streak of light, meandering through the sky. Divine energy condensed once more, this time unleashing a full-screen judgment. The entire area was covered by the divine power of water, ready to eliminate G4 along with this land.

With a low growl, Shiro Mizuki unleashed the full power of his modified G4's rear thrusters, unleashing a burst of black-gold energy that propelled the armor into the air, directly confronting the God of Water. His right-hand assault cannon switched modes, condensing into a massive energy projectile interwoven with dark purple and crimson gold, which devoured the surrounding light like a black hole.

This is the armor's all-out attack.

The god above the water did not dodge, but calmly met the attack with a pale blue shield of judgment formed by his divine power.

"Om-!"

A silent roar exploded.

The Shield of Judgment shattered instantly, but the energy blast continued its momentum, piercing directly through the divine body of the God of Water.

The god above the water looked on incredulously.
