Jason let out a soft breath, having just taken a heavy punch from Lex, and used the momentum to slowly stand up by planting his Valkyrie knife in the ground.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

A dangerous crimson arc of electricity danced on Jason's armor, seemingly reflecting his current mood. He slammed his foot into the ground, causing spiderweb-like cracks to erupt, and transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, hurtling straight toward Lex.

Meanwhile, Tim, who was in mid-air and had already dodged the energy slash, pulled the energy release mechanism of the briefcase crossbow again. Accompanied by a unique sound effect, more than a dozen energy arrows shot out toward Lex's back.

Facing the Valk saber that was slashing down towards his face, Lex quickly raised his arm to protect himself, directly blocking Jason's attack. At the same time, the Thousand Hijackers in his right hand were pressed against the Ascendant Key at Jason's waist.

As Lex pulled the trigger, the lever for the Thousand Hijackers began to push back rapidly, and a stream of crimson energy data was drawn from Jason's Ascension Key at his waist. The image of the dodo bird quickly appeared on the display screen of the Thousand Hijackers' memory device.

Before Jason could react, Lex pulled the trigger again. With a "Jacking Break!" sound effect, a crimson energy lightning blade was released, slamming directly into Jason's abdomen and sending him flying once more.

"Your data is quite useful."

After knocking Jason away, Lex didn't stop. He plunged the tip of the Thousand Hijackers gun into the ground and pulled the trigger again.

A golden, astonishing herringbone and a red dodo phantom simultaneously appeared. Dozens of herringbone insects made of crimson energy lightning appeared around his body, and with Lex's swinging motion, dozens of them flew directly towards Jason.

Having just detonated an energy slash using his own crimson lightning energy, Jason retreated continuously while wielding his Valk saber upon seeing the approaching flying insects. Countless crimson lightning energies instantly formed a crimson electric net, enveloping the lightning beetles and detonating them directly.

But the next second, Lex emerged from the smoke of the explosion, thrusting his thousand hijackers at Jason with a sonic boom. Although Jason managed to raise his Valkyrie to block the gun tip, he was still pushed back several meters by the immense force Lex unleashed, his boots carving two deep furrows in the ground.

Just then, the sound effect of "Flying Utopia!" suddenly rang out, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound. Tim immediately retracted the metal wings on his back, swooped down at high speed, and delivered a flying kick to Lex's head.

Noticing Tim's sneak attack, Lex kicked Jason away, who was trying to control him, released the thousand hijackers in his hands, crossed his arms to protect his head, and chose to take Tim's fatal blow head-on.

"boom!"

The shockwave spread outwards from the point where Lex's arms and Tim's feet made contact, and the earthen ground shattered inch by inch from the point where Lex's feet touched the ground.

Under that terrifying impact, his feet sank directly into the ground, with more than half of his calves submerged. However, the armor on his arms remained completely undamaged.

Sensing that the energy accumulated by the Knight Kick was almost exhausted, Tim stomped hard on Lex's arms again, using the momentum to flip over and leap into the air once more. At the same time, he pressed the trigger of the briefcase crossbow in his hand, and with the sound effect of "Attack Trigger!", he swung out an energy blade.

Facing the incoming energy blade, Lex raised his fist to meet it head-on, shattering Tim's energy blade attack.

Lex quickly reached out and picked up the thousand hijackers stuck in the ground. After pulling his legs out, he pushed off the ground and flew directly towards Tim in mid-air.

Tim was caught off guard by Lex's swift counterattack. Before he could react, the Forced Ascendant at his waist was hit by the Thousand Hijackers. As Lex pulled the trigger, the Thousand Hijackers' levers were quickly pushed back, forcibly extracting data from the Flying Falcon.

The moment the lever returned to its original position, Lex pulled the trigger again. Accompanied by the sound effect of "Jacking Break!", a pink falcon energy body shot out from the tip of the thousand hijackers' guns, directly blasting Tim away.

After knocking Tim away, Lex reached into his waistband and took out a black and yellow Progrise Key. He pressed the activation button and inserted it into one of the thousand hijackers. With the sound effect of "Progrise key confirmed. Ready to Break." playing, Lex pulled the lever forcefully.

The triggers on the guns of a thousand hijackers were pulled, and with the sound effect of "Thousand Break!", golden lightning energy quickly wrapped around the guns.

Seeing this, Jason, who had originally planned to ambush Lex, immediately closed and pulled the lever of the forced sublimation device. Accompanied by the sound effect of "Zetsumetsu Dystopia!", crimson lightning quickly enveloped the Valk Saber.

As their ultimate attacks were activated, Lex and Jason vanished from their spots, leaving only golden and crimson lightning clashing in the open space. Lex's Thousand Hijackers and Jason's Valkyrie clashed repeatedly, the sounds of metal striking metal ringing out incessantly.

During their eighth clash, Lex swiftly pushed the "Amazing Hercules Ascension Key" with his palm. Accompanied by the sound effect "Thousand Destruction!", he suddenly raised his knee and delivered a knee strike to Jason's abdomen before he could react, sending him flying. Then, he pushed off the ground and launched a double flying kick at Jason.

The powerful kicks, imbued with immense energy, struck Jason directly in the chest. A burst of electric sparks exploded on his chest, sending him flying backward before he crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Although he didn't deactivate his transformation, he appeared to have lost his ability to fight.

Seeing this, Tim, who had just recovered, immediately tried to swoop down to rescue him, but was intercepted by the swarm of Lightning Hercules energy bodies released by Lex. With the sound effect of "Thousand Break!", all the energy bodies exploded at the same time, and the sky instantly brightened.

"Zero-ThreeRise! One: One prediction. Two: Two intelligence. Three: Three Circles. Go! Beyond! One two three! Kamen Rider Zero-Three! Is there arc?"

But at that moment, a sound like a double chord suddenly rang out. Before Lex could react, he felt an unparalleled, immense force strike him, and he was sent flying into the air.

When Lex landed back on the ground, he was surprised to find that both Jason, whom he had defeated and who was no longer able to fight, and Tim in the sky had disappeared. It seemed that the person who had ambushed him had taken them away.

"Mercy, did you see what happened when that guy attacked me just now?"

Lex slowly sat up from the ground, gently placing his hand on the slightly dented armor on his chest, feeling a slight pain in his chest. He softly called out, "Boss, I didn't see anything. It looks like some guy with high-speed abilities."

As Lex's voice faded, a figure suddenly darted out of the forest. Bathed in moonlight, the figure, dressed in orange and white armor with distinctly feminine features and resembling a cheetah, appeared beside Lex.

——————————————————————————————————————————

In a suburb of Metropolis adjacent to Gotham City, a figure dressed in silver, red, and green armor with a black undershirt, whose appearance clearly resembled a locust, slowly put down Jason and Tim, whom he was carrying.

"who are you?"

After gently shaking his head to relieve the dizziness caused by the supersonic speed, Tim raised his head slightly and looked at the figure standing in front of him, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I am Kamen Rider Zero-Three!"

Upon hearing Tim's question, the mysterious man, who had been looking up at the sky as if he had seen something, lowered his head again and looked at Tim sitting on the ground. Three distinctly different voices rang out.

"You're also a Kamen Rider who transforms using the Progrise Key?"

Tim's gaze swept quickly across the figure who called himself Kamen Rider Zero-Three, and soon his eyes fell on the Hiden Zero-Three Driver on his waist, as well as the very conspicuous Zero-Three Progrise Key. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask.

"Since you're alright, then your companion is in your care."

However, when faced with Tim's question, Kamen Rider Zero-Three gave a non-answer before disappearing from the spot, leaving Tim still sitting there in a daze and Jason lying down.

"Tim, are you guys alright? What happened to you all this time in Metropolis?"

The very next second after Kamen Rider Zero-Three left, accompanied by a sonic boom, Superman, dressed in a blue and red suit, appeared in front of the two. He glanced at the lifeless Jason and then quickly spoke to Tim with concern.

"It's nothing, I just got beaten up by Lex for no reason!"

Faced with Superman's concern, Tim shook his head helplessly, staring at Superman with a slightly resentful look as he explained that he really hadn't expected that Superman's old nemesis Lex would come to them just to have them fight him.

However, compared to Lex who suddenly showed up at his door, Tim was more concerned about Kamen Rider Zero-Three, who had suddenly appeared and taken him and Jason away from Lex's men, and who, like them, used the Progrise Key.

——————————————————————————————————————————

In Nassinno City, Kamen Rider Zero-Three, who had left the suburbs of the metropolis, appeared. He slowly reached out and pulled out the Progrise Key from the driver, deactivated his transformation, and revealed the figure of a young man wearing a black casual suit and a magenta hoodie.

If Isaac and the other Kamen Riders were here, they would naturally recognize that the person in front of them was none other than Kamen Rider Zero-One—Hiden Aruto—who had come out today saying he wanted to visit the amusement park.

"I never imagined that this world even had characters like Swift, Thunder, Thousand Riders, and Valkyrie!"

Staring at the Zero-Three Progrise Key in his hand, recalling the transformation scenes of Jason Tim and Rex that he had just witnessed, Hiden Aruto couldn't help but sigh. He truly hadn't expected that he would see 'familiar faces' in the new world. Although the users were different, the appearances of the riders they transformed into were exactly the same.

As Hiden Aruto exclaimed, the central processing unit at the end of the Zero-Three Progrise Key he held in his hand, which contained the artificial intelligences Zea and Ark, flickered slightly with a green light, as if in agreement with his words.

In Hiden Aruto's world, he has already experienced the storylines of Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai and Kamen Rider Outsider. His familiar friends, Isamu Fuwa, Jin, Rai, and Ito, have long since left. Only Metsubou has returned due to an unexpected situation.

Originally, Hiden Aruto would have returned to Isaac's alchemy base after visiting the amusement park, but the reason he appeared in the outskirts of Gotham was because he had connected to the world's satellites and network through Zea and Ark.

Unexpectedly, he spotted two familiar faces in Gotham and decided to go check them out. However, he ended up running into Tim and Jason, who were fighting Lex.

After seeing that Jason and Tim were no match for the Thousand Riders, Hiden Aruto, unwilling to witness the familiar figures perish before his eyes, ultimately chose to intervene and rescue the two from Lex's clutches.

Of course, what Hiden Aruto didn't know was that even if he hadn't made a move, Lex wouldn't have killed Jason and Tim. After all, Lex didn't want to make a mortal enemy of some old Batman or the Justice League.

"Speaking of which, Isaac's father seems to run a tech company, but judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be very good at this kind of thing. Do you think I should help him?"

After letting out a soft breath and temporarily suppressing the worries in his mind, Hiden Aruto turned to think about another problem. Today, when Zea and Ark were reading the information about this world, they also took the opportunity to look up the information about their junior, Isaac.

Hiden Aruto declined to comment on Isaac's morbid hobby of stripping criminals naked and hanging them on streetlights to cause their social death. He was more interested in the fact that his junior might inherit a company like himself in the future.
