Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 521: In his platform form, Kamen Rider Den-O's health bar is like King with invincible health!

"It was a success?"

King looked down in disbelief at his armored hands, feeling the unfamiliar yet undeniably real power surging within him, and for a moment he was in a daze.

But is it just an illusion?
Why did he feel that this force wasn't very strong?

Compared to his original self, the improvement is definitely huge, but to say he's that strong, he's not quite at the wolf level? Or even the tiger level?

Is it because he is too weak to unleash the power of this thing?
Just as King was having doubts, Ivan Reznov, who was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle not far away, was startled by the sudden transformation sound effect and light!

In the brief moment between taking a heavy punch from the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, he subconsciously glanced at the spot where King had been hiding!
With that one glance, Ivan Reznov was stunned, his eyes filled with astonishment!
???

No, where's King?!

Am I really that much of a King?!

What the heck is this basic form of Kamen Rider Den-O?

Ryotaro Nogami traveled through time? !
It couldn't possibly be King transforming into Kamen Rider Den-O, could it?!
How long has he been in the real world?!
And why is it in platform form?! What can this form do?!
A series of question marks flashed through Ivan Reznov's mind, causing his movements to freeze for an extremely brief, almost imperceptible moment.

It wasn't that he was distracted, but rather that the scene before him was simply beyond his comprehension.

But Ivan Reznov was stunned, which doesn't mean that the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, who was completely dominated by his fighting instincts at this moment, would also be stunned!

"Roar!!!"

Just as Ivan Reznov was slightly shaken by the appearance of Kamen Rider Den-O, Ashura Rhino Beetle threw a heavy punch without hesitation, which hit Ivan Reznov's cheek like a cannonball!

"Bang!!!"

A sickeningly loud thud exploded!

Ivan Reznov felt an irresistible force come from his cheek, and like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying backward in mid-air, spinning, and crashing heavily into a pile of reinforced concrete rubble hundreds of meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust!

"Ahem!"

Ivan Reznov struggled to his feet from the rubble, coughing up a mouthful of bloody saliva. His cheeks quickly swelled up, burning with pain.

He shook his somewhat dazed head, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

To say it was seriously injured would definitely not be an exaggeration.

The strong physique granted by Thor's hammer meant that even after taking the punch, he only suffered superficial injuries and some shock, but felt mostly psychologically frustrated.

"No matter what happens, you can't be distracted in battle! That's basic common sense!"

He mentally criticized himself harshly.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and a moment's carelessness can lead to utter ruin.

As a soldier, he should understand this principle better than anyone else.

But... what just happened was just too unexpected!

Anyone who sees King, whom they just told to hide, suddenly transform into a Kamen Rider with a completely different style would probably be stunned for a moment, right?

However, just as Ivan Reznov quickly adjusted his breathing and prepared to rejoin the battle, something happened that made his heart tighten.

After he fell to the ground, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's scarlet pupils, filled with pure destructive desire, did not immediately lock onto him, the more threatening target. Instead, it turned with interest to look at King, who had just completed his transformation and was still frozen in place!

If the King in the past, because of the behemoth-like heartbeat of the "Emperor Engine," even made the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's fighting instincts feel a little apprehensive, causing it to subconsciously categorize King as an "unknown existence that needs to be guarded against."
At this moment, the strangely shaped "black tin man" in front of it lost the "mysterious aura" that made the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle instinctively wary!
Instead, it evokes a feeling of something small, novel, and seemingly like a "toy" that can be torn apart at will!

Without hesitation, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's massive body suddenly sank, the ground beneath its feet exploded, transforming into a violent purple lightning bolt, filled with bloodlust and ferocity, charging straight towards King, who had just completed his transformation and was still frozen in place!

"!!!"

King was completely stunned when he saw the purple monster suddenly change direction and rush towards him as if it had teleported!
No!

He probably didn't do anything, right? He just changed his form!
He neither jumped out to provoke him nor acted like a hero, so why did this strange man turn around and chase after him?!
He still doesn't even understand what skills this armor has or how to use them!

Help! Someone please save me!
He could almost clearly smell the stench of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle mixed with the blood of different wild beasts, and he could truly feel the terrifying power of the fist, even before it arrived, as sharp as a tangible blade!
I'll die! I'll definitely die! One hit and I'm done for!
The instinct for survival screamed wildly, and King howled in despair in his heart.

He desperately tried to move, to dodge, but extreme fear froze his body as if by invisible ice, leaving him frozen in place, only able to watch helplessly as the purple shadow of death rapidly enlarged in his pupils!
"Damn it! I'm your opponent!!!"

At the critical moment, Ivan Reznov let out a deafening roar, his body transforming into lightning in an instant, desperately trying to intercept the fatal blow before the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's fist could fall!
but.
The speed of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was too fast! Ivan Reznov was ultimately half a step too slow.

"Boom!!!"

A dull, heart-stopping thud struck King squarely in the chest, which was almost completely undefended!

A terrifying force exploded instantly!

Like a kite with a broken string, King was blasted through the air by this irresistible force, crashing heavily into the distant ruins and kicking up a cloud of dust!
Ivan Reznov froze in mid-air, staring at the area shrouded in smoke and dust, a flicker of grief crossing his eyes. Dead, definitely dead!

With its platform-like dimensions, it absolutely could not withstand that attack!
King after all
A fire of self-reproach and rage instantly surged up Ivan's head!

If it weren't for his momentary lapse in concentration, if King's "unexpected" transformation hadn't attracted hatred...
"You beast! I'll make you pay with your life!!"

He was instantly consumed by boundless rage!

Thor's hammer erupted with unprecedentedly dazzling lightning, like a furious Thor, recklessly rushing towards the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!

But, just as he set off!
"thump."

A faint yet clearly audible sound suddenly came from the dust cloud where King had fallen!

"?"

Ivan Reznov's offensive abruptly halted, and he turned his head in disbelief!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a black figure was seen swaying and struggling to its feet from the ruins.

It is King transformed into Kamen Rider Den-O!
He wasn't even forced out of his knight form and remained in it.

How can this be? !
Ivan Reznov was somewhat bewildered.

He knew that the platform form had a very thick health bar.

But the Asura Rhino Beetle is a Dragon-level monster, whose stats are far superior to its Platform form. In fact, this is its full-force attack after all aspects of its Asura form have been amplified.

It's one thing that King isn't dead, but he hasn't even reverted from his Rider form? He seems completely unaffected?
Is this right?
You've unlocked your invincibility skill, haven't you?

Even more bewildered than Ivan Reznov was King himself!

He stood there, feeling dizzy, and subconsciously looked at his body.

The excruciating pain I expected, the feeling of being shattered to pieces, didn't happen?!

"Why doesn't it hurt?"

"I was hit just now, right?"

"But I really don't feel any pain. Could it be that the punch I just received was fake?"

"Even if it was fake, it should have hurt from that fall! But now, apart from a slight numbness, I can't feel anything at all?!"

"Is the armor's defensive capability really that strong?!"

He looked up blankly at Ivan Reznov, who seemed to have seen a ghost in the distance, and then at the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, who also seemed temporarily confused by his unharmed recovery.

The entire battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

But this silence did not last long.

"Roar!!!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle broke free from its brief moment of confusion, replaced by a furious rage that had been thoroughly enraged!

It couldn't understand why this "fragile toy" could still stand up, but its instincts told it that if it couldn't be broken once, it would try ten times! A hundred times! Until it was completely reduced to dust!
"Whoosh!"

Its massive body transformed into a purple afterimage once more, carrying an even more ferocious aura than before, instantly rushing towards King, who was still in a daze! It slammed down hard on King's head!
"Again?!"

King was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, but perhaps his "unharmed" experience just now gave him a bit of courage, or perhaps it was a stress response under extreme fear.

Instead of standing still as before, he subconsciously raised his armored arms and crossed them above his head to protect them!

"boom!!!"

The dull thud of fists clashing rang out!
King's hasty parry was meaningless in the face of the absolute difference in strength. He was blasted away again without any suspense, crashing into a thick load-bearing wall behind him like a cannonball and being buried in the rubble!

Ivan Reznov's heart sank once again.

The last time might have been a coincidence, but this time...
however.

"crash"

In less than three seconds! The pile of brick and stone ruins that buried King suddenly loosened!
Then, to their astonishment, King miraculously crawled out of the rubble once more!

He dusted himself off, stretched his arms, and looked even more bewildered.

"It doesn't seem to hurt that much?"
