Marvel starts with Drive as a Knight

"Wait a minute, you said that big jellyfish last time was very strong?"

Stark looked surprised.

"But he was defeated by Drive with one kick."

Eric glared at him as if he were an idiot.

"Hey, don't look at me like that."

Stark glared back without showing any weakness.

Mu En quickly diverted their attention and explained.

"Okay, stop messing around. Clauren is really nothing to me. After all, Drive is much stronger than Ixa. If it's just one or two high-level vampires, it's fine. But if there are too many, I won't be able to handle it.

Not to mention the wolf-shaped vampire that appeared at some point in time, whose existence is many levels stronger than Clauren. "

"Mu En you!"

Eric looked at Mu En in surprise, as if blaming him for exposing himself.

Mu En shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"So this is ah."

Stark had a look of understanding on his face.

"Then why don't you just upgrade Ixa? With the Drive template here, shouldn't it be easy to upgrade?"

Mu En opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

How should he tell Stark about these things? Is it so easy for you to understand the things about Kamen Rider?

Eric was blunt.

"It's already being upgraded. After all, our progress is already very fast. From the successful development of Ixa to now, we have upgraded several times in less than a month."

"Wait a minute! It's only been a month since Ixa was developed?"

Stark froze.

Mu En nodded.

"To be precise, it has only taken more than a month from the time we started designing the blueprint to now, and the time for actual combat has even been less than half a month."

Stark listened to Muen's words and seemed to have guessed something.

He looked at Mu En and asked tentatively.

"You developed Ixa."

Mu En was stunned for a moment. He clearly didn't say anything, so how could he guess it? Can he only say that he is worthy of being Tony Stark?

He looked at Eric inquiringly, and Eric indicated that the things were his and let him decide for himself.

Mu En sighed.

"Yes, I developed the Ixa system and built the armor."

Chapter 22: Kamen Rider is not a weapon

It's exciting, absolutely exciting. Ever since Stark became the boss of Stark Enterprises, he has considered himself to be the most amazing genius in the world. After all, there is a young man who has achieved such amazing results at his age.

But now there is one, a high school student who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, who has actually created a battle armor with epoch-making concepts. This is definitely the biggest stimulation to Stark in history.

You have to know how much money and time are needed from research and development to manufacturing. After all, the military and scientists have thought about things like armor, but in the end they gave up for various reasons. One of the reasons is that the cost is too high and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Kurim on the side showed a speechless expression.

"Why are you so surprised? What Mu En created is Kamen Rider, not your traditional armor. Many things in it can subvert your cognition."

"Okay, Mr. Belt, now is not the time to talk about this. The crisis in front of us has not been resolved yet."

Mu En didn't want to argue with Stark about this anymore, because he knew that the Iron Man suit created by Stark in the future would not be worse than the Ixa he created, at least it would be much stronger than the current Ixa.

Stark suddenly spoke up.

"I have an idea. I think the cooperation between us should be more in-depth."

"What do you mean?"

Stark looked at Mu En and said seriously.

"I want to know your method of manufacturing Ixa. In exchange, I can provide you with funds, materials, and all of Stark Industries' cutting-edge science and technology."

For Stark Industries, various high-precision and cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements are their lifeblood, among which is the blueprint of the Ark Reactor that Muen wants very much. However, if Ixa is used as an exchange, Muen cannot agree.

Mu En shook his head and said frankly.

"Excuse me Mr. Stark, but I will never use Ixa technology."

"Why? Do you think our Stark Industries' technology is not as good as your Ixa?"

Stark was a little unhappy. Could it be that there was something he wanted to learn? He even took out his own family fortune in exchange for Mu En. Mu En took it and refused without thinking.

"Why? Because Ixa is more than just a set of armor. Ixa, Kamen Rider Ixa. Being called Kamen Rider means shouldering the responsibility of this name. Mr. Stark, I know that your Stark Industries is a famous arms company. Obtaining Ixa technology may allow you to take Stark Industries to a higher level, but this has nothing to do with me.

My idea is very simple. The power of Kamen Rider is for protection, not just a killing machine. If I want to use Ixa to exchange for money and status, why should I go through your hands? You also know that being a scientist requires a lot of funds, but do you think I look like I'm short of money?"

Mu En has a bottom line, and that is that the name of Kamen Rider must not be disgraced. He used to be just an ordinary fan and audience, and the four words "Kamen Rider" were just an illusory concept to him. But when Kurum appeared in front of him and when he shouted the word "transformation", everything changed.

Just as Kamen Rider said, Kamen Rider is a warrior who protects human freedom, and Kamen Rider was born to protect.

"I can assure you that I will never sell Ixa as a weapon."

In response to Stark's promise, Muen had only two words to say: haha. Even if he would not sell Ixa as a weapon, what about Stan? The guy who hired someone to assassinate Stark in order to gain control of the Stark Group?

"Let me tell you the truth. Even if I give you Ixa, you will never be able to build a second one."

Indeed, even if Muen gave him Ixa, he would not be able to make a second set, because Ixa was made from the same Akka metal that he used to make Yondu's whistle arrows. Akka metal is extremely rare in the universe, and it does not exist on Earth.

"I definitely can't build a second set?" Stark laughed.

"Mu En, I admit that you are also a genius, but it is too arrogant for you to say it so absolutely. But I like it. I said that we are the same kind of people."

When Mu En saw Stark smile, he was stunned. How could this guy change his expression so easily?

"I accept your challenge. I can create a suit of my own without your help. But before that, we need to solve the problem at hand."

Stark once again turned his gaze to the map in front of him.

"I don't want the entire country of M to become a world of vampires when I create my own battle suit."

Mu En also calmed down a little. For some reason, he became excited when he thought that Stark might sell Ixa as a weapon. When he looked at Eric beside him, he found that Eric was also thoughtful.

"Okay, let's figure out what we should do next."

The discussion got on track and the three began to think about countermeasures.

But as the discussion deepened, they became more and more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

According to Eric, the vampire clan had already taken root in this land as early as the Civil War in the Free State or even earlier, and the power they established was so huge that it was unimaginable.

Of course, it's not like there is no chance of winning. As Eric said, for some reason, the vampires were divided into several different factions, and the fighting between these factions prevented them from further establishing their rule.

However, with the emergence of vampire transformation technology, there are signs that these factions are about to reunite.

"S~, then this is our plan for now."

With Eric's words finalizing the matter, the plan was temporarily set.

At the end of their discussion, they agreed that the first thing to do was to stop the vampires from corrupting the nobles. So the next thing they had to do was to find the blood lake and destroy their ascension ceremony.

"Okay, then let's get started. I'll go back and ask Jarvis to investigate all the places that might be blood lakes."

"I'll leave this matter to you."

Stark picked up his suitcase, waved with a smile, and turned to leave.

After Stark left, the entire base fell silent.

Mu En sat in front of the computer and started operating.

"Mu En."

Eric came to Muen's side.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Eric took out Ixa's belt.

"Mu En, after I got the belt, I never thought about the meaning of this belt and the responsibility of carrying the name of Kamen Rider. I only thought that I needed this power, the power to defeat the Vampire.

But after listening to what you said today, I understand that Kamen Rider is not just a weapon, but has a deeper meaning and a more difficult and great responsibility. So, I feel that I am not worthy of this belt, so you can take it back. "

After saying that, Eric handed the belt to Mu En.

Mu En looked at the belt and smiled with satisfaction. Although he was only sixteen years old, he looked like an old father.

"No, keep it. As of now, no one deserves this belt more than you."

Chapter 23, Ixa's Upgrade Idea

Eric looked at the belt in his hand for a long time without saying anything.

Mu En released his hands from the keyboard and smiled.

"Remember what I said about Kamen Rider's responsibility?"

Eric replied seriously.

"Protect the freedom of mankind, but you know I can't even be considered a pure human, I'm a half-vampire, I..."

Mu En waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Let me tell you a story first."

"Story? It's already this time and you're still in the mood to tell a story?"

Mu En looked at Eric who looked anxious and spoke calmly.

"A story about the origin of Kamen Rider."

Upon hearing this, Eric paused, then sat aside and waited quietly for Muen to tell the story about the origin.

Mu En narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was lost in memories.

"It all started with an organization that attempted to conquer the world using cyborg technology..."

He started with the story of old man number one, Takeshi Hongo, the origin of Kamen Rider. This is a story about a cyborg who broke free from the mental control of the Shocker Organization. Old man number one, Takeshi Hongo, is in the darkness but guards the people in the light, protecting them from the invasion of darkness.

Listening to Muen's story, Eric was distracted. They thought about how the origin of Kamen Rider was so ups and downs. The original knight was not only a warrior who protected humanity, but also a cyborg carrying endless sorrow. They were of the same origin, and he put on the mask to hide his sadness.

As the story progressed, a sad look appeared on Mu En's face and he asked.

"If Mr. Hongo Takeshi had the choice, do you think he would accept the horrible cyborg surgery and become Kamen Rider?"

Eric opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally shook his head.

No? Or don't know?

But Takeshi Hongo had no choice.

"The first Kamen Rider, he was born with endless sorrow. Kamen Rider No. 1 was originally just one of the many cyborgs in the Shocker Organization, but even so, Mr. Hongo Takeshi still had his heart set on the light, and turned the power originally used for destruction into the power of protection. The enemy and I have the same origin, this is the origin and destiny of Kamen Rider.

Later, many different knights appeared. They had different origins, experiences, and abilities, but they all stumbled towards the same destination: protection. "

As he spoke, it seemed as if several voices sounded in Mu En's ears.

"I want to protect people's smiles..."

"Protecting people's future..."

"I don't have a dream, but I can protect people's dreams..."

......

Mu En looked at Eric and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Unlike me, a knight who changed careers halfway, you are a half-vampire who has been protecting humans from being harmed by vampires. What are you missing from the title of Kamen Rider? You are just missing a belt, and I just gave it to you. Do you still think you are not worthy of it?"

After listening to Mu En's words, Eric tightly gripped the belt in his hand.

"I understand. I will shoulder the responsibilities that come with the title of Kamen Rider."
