Great, we're doomed now!

The man with the hammer looked the unlicensed rider up and down, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Let me show you our philosophy—not wanting to work isn't a sin, forcing others to work is evil!"

The Hero Association is the most trusted organization among ordinary people. Once we defeat you, no one will dare to oppose the Peach Blossom Gang!

"What are these guys talking about?"—The unlicensed rider frowned behind his goggles.

Defeating the Hero Association? With your backing?

"You don't seem to be an S-rank."

He stepped forward with his hammer, his combat suit stretched taut by his muscles.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of the way and don't delay our business. These small fry heroes aren't worth my time!"

The unlicensed rider released the handlebars, slightly adjusted his footwork, and assumed the starting stance of the Flowing Water Rock-Smashing Fist. Ripples slowly flowed within his body, and a warm current circulated through his meridians, giving him more confidence. Even when facing multiple enemies, he did not flinch in the slightest.

"We won't let you continue to act recklessly!"

He took a deep breath, his voice clear and powerful: "I am the Unlicensed Rider, and I am here as a hero to stop your evil deeds!"

"Unlicensed? I think I've heard of that." One of the henchmen thought for a moment. "Level C? I think it was on TV."

The Peach Blossom Clan burst into laughter, with Hammerhead laughing so hard he almost fell over: "You think you can be a C-rank hero? Don't you know your own limitations!"

—This guy just stole a combat suit from somewhere a few days ago and has been busy recruiting followers. He really doesn't know about the Deep Sea Clan invasion or the Mumen Rider's great activity.

Ignoring their mockery, the unlicensed man lowered his center of gravity, his arms outstretched, his gaze fixed intently on the hammerhead. In the sunlight, his armor gradually gleamed faintly…

On a building, Ye Shou appeared. He glanced at the situation below, then surveyed the surroundings. After confirming that the crowd had all fled, he nodded and began to watch the unlicensed battle intently—of course, taking photos was also an essential part of the process.

When Saitama, King, Mumen Rider, Genos, and others debut as a group in the future, these will be excellent promotional materials.

"That annoying thing!"

Seeing that the unlicensed rider refused to give way, Hammerhead's eyes flashed with ferocity. He stomped his foot hard, and the ground instantly cracked with spiderweb-like patterns. He bent down and scooped up a several-ton block of cement from the ground, holding it high in the air. His arm muscles bulged, and his combat suit was stretched taut.

"Go to hell!"

He roared, and with a burst of strength, hurled the cement block like a shot put. It hurtled straight at the unlicensed motorcyclist, the air around it compressed into a dull thud, the force terrifying.

The unlicensed rider's pupils contracted slightly, and his body moved almost instinctively under the propulsion of the ripples. He changed his footwork, and the Water Flow Rock Smash Fist technique unfolded smoothly. His body was as light as a feather blown by the wind. His wrists, arms, shoulders, body, waist and legs were like a naturally stretched dragon, gently swaying to avoid the impact trajectory of the concrete blocks.

At the same time, his arms drew a smooth arc, and the all-pervasive force of the cement shell was transmitted to the inside.

Click!

The heavy cement block was instantly covered with cracks, and then it shattered with a crash, sending debris flying everywhere.

Seeing this, Ye Shou, who was high up, had a bright idea and took out his tablet to record it:

He had previously applied virtual technology to martial arts training, and Wuzheng and Banggu were among the first to experience it firsthand.

It's important to know that Kayaba Akihiko has already developed a device that can speed up the flow of time in the virtual world. So even though Mumen Rider has only been training for a few days, he has actually practiced with Bang many times in the virtual space.

"The virtual space still can't simulate the unique martial arts spirit of One-Punch Man, so Muken only has skillful and smooth movements, but lacks the corresponding charm. It really needs to be trained in reality."

Ye Shou muttered to himself, feeling relieved that there was no certificate.

If he can shatter the giant rock with his own strength, then dealing with these people who only have strength but lack skill and wisdom shouldn't be a problem, because he has another powerful trump card, and he certainly won't be instantly defeated like in the original story...

It's quite a coincidence that he and the Peach Blossom Gang's high-ranking henchmen met again, even though the timeline had started to shift!

"what?"

Hammerhead's eyes widened, and the mockery on his face froze instantly. He clearly hadn't expected that this C-rank hero could so easily deflect his attack.

Before he could react, the unlicensed rider had already used the momentum of his spin to maneuver and pounce on one of his underlings like a ghost. His fist, carrying a faint ripple of light, swung out and struck the underling precisely in the chest. The underling groaned and flew backward, crashing into a street lamp.

However, he quickly got up—this combat suit is really good quality.

"I should have learned the Immortal Path Speed ​​Walk sooner!" The unlicensed knight secretly regretted upon seeing this.

The Ripple Technique includes a special technique for hitting enemies from a distance, which is perfect for dealing with enemies who rely on armor to roam freely but may not actually have any real skills.

Now we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

"This is a tough one! Let's all go for it!"

Hammerhead realized what was happening and his eyes became cautious. He waved for his remaining men to attack, while he himself looked for an opening.

The members of the Peach Blossom Gang picked up heavy objects and smashed them down, or simply swung their fists, surging towards the Unlicensed Rider from all directions, collectively choosing the simplest and most effective fighting method.

Meanwhile, Mumen Rider recalled Mr. Bang's earnest advice to him during virtual training when facing multiple enemies: once you get to that point, you must take the initiative to charge into the enemy lines and never let yourself stop!

If you get bogged down, you've already lost!

"what!"

"Go to hell!"

"The Peach Blossom Spring Clan is invincible!"

These people's combat suits are far superior to ordinary equipment. They can punch through the ground with a single punch, kick the pillars of a shop to pieces with a single kick, and even destroy a tall building in just a few moves.

Reinforced concrete was as delicate as tofu in front of them, but the unlicensed rider pushed the Water Flow Rock Smash Fist to its limit. With his arms flying and fists and palms alternating, he actually defeated steel with his flesh and blood. After two rounds, he took down one of them and broke through the encirclement.

Then launch a surprise attack!

Each attack was a precise parry or counterattack. The ripples within his body circulated faster and faster, not only increasing his strength but also making him incredibly durable and even more resistant to blows, allowing him to cope with a barrage of attacks.

But the enemy numbers are simply too many!

The unlicensed rider gradually felt his strength failing, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his breathing became rapid, which was a very dangerous sign—his breathing was disturbed, and the output power of the ripples suddenly decreased.

His arm was grazed by a henchman's fist, and a tingling sensation ran through his nerves. His defenses were slightly breached, and another henchman took the opportunity to kick him in the back.

At this critical moment, a familiar sense of power suddenly surged up from within him—

That was a special power that was activated at a critical moment during the battle with the Deep Sea Clan, and it has now erupted again under extreme conditions.

"Evil spirit, lend me a hand!"

—A shadowy figure, clad in full armor and resembling an insectoid, flashed past behind him.

At the same time, a force erupted from his brain, but it was not released in the form of superpowers; instead, it transformed into a pure physical burden, covering every inch of his muscles.

The values ​​have been greatly improved!!

The unlicensed rider's eyes narrowed, and using this force, he suddenly exerted his strength, pushing off the ground with both feet and leaping high into the air, instantly escaping the encirclement.

In mid-air, the Unlicensed Rider swiftly turned, bringing his legs together. All the power of the Ripple gathered at his toes, and with a whistling wind, he swooped down towards the hammerhead like a drawn sword.

"RiderKick!"

Upon seeing this, the hammerhead quickly raised his hand to block, crossing his arms to protect his chest.

But the force of the kick far exceeded his expectations. The toe struck precisely, instantly denting the combat suit on his arms. The force penetrated through and hit his chest, causing his ribs to crack under the strain.

Bang!

The immense impact caused the hammerhead to let out a muffled groan, its massive body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc in the air for over a hundred meters before crashing heavily into an abandoned building.

The wall collapsed with a roar, raising clouds of dust. The hammerhead lay motionless in the rubble.

Upon seeing this, the henchmen who were besieging the area turned pale with fright and dared not step forward.

In their eyes, and in Ye Shou's eyes from the rooftop, the unlicensed knight was now possessed by an evil spirit—

He was enveloped in a full set of armor that shimmered like a projection, yet perfectly conformed to his body.

It has large, beetle-like eyes, a majestic golden head with horns resembling those of a large catalpa beetle, and red markings on a green base.

—He looks more like a weirdo than a hero!

In fact, Mumen Rider initially thought it was a monster or evil spirit trying to tempt him into corruption. Later, after being enlightened by Ye Shou, he realized it was the power within him and opened his mind to accept it.

Even so, his "transformation words" are still related to evil spirits.

The stand-in's name is—

【Rider Noname】!

"It has no special abilities. Although it is called Kamen Rider, it does not have a belt. As long as you think you have transformed, an illusion like a suit will automatically appear in your mind."

The only effect is to increase speed and strength! The stronger your mental power, the greater the increase!

As long as you believe you haven't lost, you can keep recovering your energy and continuing to fight!

Ye Shou smiled slightly, quite pleased, feeling that this stand-in perfectly matched his aesthetic preferences.

Numbers are what make someone a hero!

Chapter 338: Carbon-Based Lord, please see the truth! (Two-in-one 8K)

On the site of the former House of Evolution, the ruins have been cleared away, and the construction sign of the Kuze Group stands discreetly in the corner. A group of workers are busy here, seemingly building a logistics warehouse or something.

On the surface, nothing seemed amiss, but dozens of meters underground, a complete, clandestine base was operating silently. The silvery-white corridor gradually lit up with each step of the newcomer. As the sensor door opened automatically, the cold light of the laboratory illuminated the space, revealing various mechanical devices and precision instruments. Large screens flashed green characters, and strings of data flowed smoothly through them.

In the laboratory named "Future Security," Ye Shou stood in the center, his gaze falling on the black combat suit hanging in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.

Those were equipment seized from the Peach Blossom Village. As for the original user, he has been arrested and imprisoned. He is probably playing some fun games with some other prisoners right now. Hopefully, those of them with their pointy heads won't dislike other pointy things.

This combat suit, which makes the wearer look bulky, doesn't seem very heavy when not in use—it appears to be made of a special, shape-shifting alloy.

At this moment, they are surrounded by several robotic arms, their parts being disassembled with the smoothness of flowing water, exposing the internal energy cores and transmission circuits. On the supercomputer screen next to them, waveforms and data streams scroll rapidly, analyzing the structure and materials of the combat suits.

hum~

A blue projection appeared beside the screen, and Dr. Genus's virtual avatar bowed, his tone carrying the calmness characteristic of a researcher: "Lord Kuze Ye Shou, the preliminary analysis of the Peach Blossom Squad's combat suit has been completed. The material is tough, but the energy core is the most important. I will try my best to understand the manufacturing principle and then modify it into a more cost-effective combat equipment to ensure that it is suitable for ordinary soldiers."

"good."

Ye Shou was very interested in this combat suit; it perfectly met the needs of the main world.

First of all, ordinary people can also wear it. The members of the Peach Blossom Gang are a group of thugs who stole this black technology from some organization. Their strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, but only to a limited extent. This shows that the combat suit does not have any special requirements and the threshold for use is not too high.

Secondly, these thugs, when dressed in combat suits, actually possessed arm strength comparable to that of someone who could destroy a building!

This is already at the level of a Tiger-level monster in One-Punch Man—it's just that its combat awareness and other aspects are not up to par.

If TPC professionals had this kind of equipment, the actual combat effect would only be stronger!

Ye Shou was really looking forward to this, and he always valued efficiency, so he thought about going directly to the organization's headquarters to seize it. However, when he searched based on the information he got from the thugs, he found nothing; the place was already deserted.

He wasn't disappointed, because One-Punch Man is full of advanced technology. Whether it's the House of Evolution, Metal Knight, or Kusno (Genos's doctor), they all possess advanced technologies that TPC could research for a long time. The battle suits and such are just icing on the cake.

As for Genus's House of Evolution, although its main research focus is "genetic modification," it has also created high-tech armor and similar items, so reverse engineering combat suits would not be difficult.

Seeing Genus's enthusiasm, Ye Shou tapped on the control panel: "I have elevated your privileges, granting you access to another database containing the technology of another system that I obtained from the 'parallel world'."
