Chapter 469 The Day the World Ends
Countless hideous monsters, like a flood bursting its banks, surged out from the distorted curtain of aurora.

The roars of the Gurongi, the shrieks of the Zerg, and the howls of the Demonic Wraiths—these terrors from different worlds intertwined to create a symphony of apocalypse, echoing over the city now reduced to ruins.

Hongo Takeshi and Ichimonji Hayato stood back to back, their chests heaving violently.

The "typhoon" energy cores within their bodies were operating beyond their limits, and their strengthened bodies were covered in wounds.

They are battle-hardened warriors, and each of their attacks can easily eliminate a monster. But whenever a monster falls, three, five, or even ten new monsters will emerge from the light screen.

This is a war of attrition with no chance of winning.

"Is this still not over... these guys..."

Hayato Ichimonji was panting heavily, his voice revealing a hint of exhaustion.

"As long as we can stand, the battle will not end."

Hongo Takeshi's voice remained firm, but the gaze he gave the enemy through his red compound eyes was more solemn than ever before.

Standing at a distance, the magenta figure remained motionless.

Decade simply crossed his arms, watching the hunt he had orchestrated with great interest, as if he were watching a boring drama.

Finally, he seemed to lose patience.

He pulled another card from the card box; the card had Decade's own logo on it.

"It's time to end this."

He inserted the card into the drive.

"FINAL ATTACKRIDE...DE! DE! DECADE!"

A deadly electronic sound rang out. Decade's figure blurred into a blur as he leaped high into the air.

Ten illusory energy cards, each bearing the knight's symbol from Kuuga to Decade, appeared out of thin air between him and Takeshi Hongo, forming a straight path to death.

Decade's body passed through energy cards one by one. With each card he passed through, his speed and power increased, and visible destructive energy wrapped around his magenta body.

"Rider Kick!"

Hongo Takeshi and Ichimonji Hayato sensed the murderous intent that would end everything.

Without the slightest hesitation, they squeezed out the last bit of strength from their bodies, leaped into the air, and kicked out their knight kicks—a gamble with everything—to meet the crimson meteor.

Two green arcs of light collided with the magenta comet carrying the power of ten knights.

A violent explosion occurred at the moment of contact.

Immediately afterwards, the bodies of Hongo Takeshi and Ichimonji Hayato began to disintegrate in mid-air, turning into countless shimmering points of light, which eventually converged and compressed into two thin cards, which floated lightly into Decade's outstretched palm.

Inside the command center, there was a deathly silence.

All the staff members froze in their seats, their pupils reflecting the despairing scene on the screen.

On the main screen, the two green ripples representing the vital signs of No. 1 and No. 2 flickered a few times before flattening out completely and turning into the glaring red "LOST" lettering.

"how come……"

A young communications officer collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected, his recording tablet shattering into pieces.
"Kamen Rider... lost..."

These words were like a needle, piercing through everyone's forced composure.

Panic began to spread; some people let out suppressed sobs, while others clutched their heads in their hands, unable to accept this cruel reality.

If even Kamen Riders are defeated so easily, then who in this world can protect them?

Zhang Qi's face was extremely grim. He stared intently at the magenta demon on the screen, who was casually putting away the card, his knuckles turning white from gripping it so tightly.

The situation had escalated beyond his expectations. And just then, with the disappearance of the two knights, the whole world seemed to groan in pain.

The earth began to tremble violently, and the aurora curtain in the sky expanded to its limit, from which more monsters poured out like a locust plague.

They no longer merely besieged, but began indiscriminate destruction and slaughter.

Skyscrapers collapsed like building blocks under the monster's immense power, streets were torn apart, and gas explosions unleashed wave after wave of fire, dragging the entire city into a sea of ​​flames.

Flames soared into the sky, illuminating Decade's demonic figure.

He stood atop the ruins, coldly surveying the destruction he had created.

"hiss……"

Zhang Qi rubbed his throbbing temples.

Aurora Curtain... Tsukasa Kadoya's own power.

Information about this world flashed through his mind.

Dai-Shocker used this power, which allows him to connect with and interfere with parallel worlds, to conquer and destroy Kamen Riders from one world after another.

Later, they even reverse-engineered Diend's driver based on this power, which shows that the power of the Aurora Curtain can be analyzed and reproduced through technical means.

We must...we must get it!

Only by understanding the nature of its power can we find a way to counter it.

Therefore, he needs a sample, a sample that carries the power of Decade.

Even if it's just a simple card, as long as he can get his hands on it and combine it with the relevant theoretical information he can exchange for in the [Main God Space], he's confident he can find a solution to Decade in a short time.

How do we get it? By sending people to their deaths?
The moment this crazy thought arose, something beyond his comprehension happened.

A card appeared out of nowhere on the command console table in front of him.

Without any light effects or sound, it lay there abruptly and quietly, as if it had always existed there.

This is……

Zhang Qi's breath hitched. He slowly reached out and picked up the card.

The card had a cold, smooth texture, and the cover did not feature any knights he knew, but rather a completely black sheet, like a negative before a photograph was developed.

But in that darkness, one could vaguely see a silhouette resembling the letter "W," divided by two diagonal lines.

Kamen Rider W?

why?
W is a Kamen Rider series that emerged after Decade, and its worldview is completely independent of the previous Kamen Rider series.

Logically speaking, this card shouldn't exist in the deck of the boss of the Great Shocker at all... So who sent it here?
Before he could figure it all out, a gray-white aurora curtain rose up from beneath his feet without warning, instantly enveloping him completely!

The sense of space and time was completely stripped away at this moment, and Zhang Qi felt as if his consciousness had been thrown into a bizarre vortex.

When his senses returned, he heard the hustle and bustle of the city and the air was filled with a unique scent that blended the smell of the sea breeze with the smell of industry.

He found himself standing on an unfamiliar street.

The surrounding buildings are modern in style, completely different from those of the Showa era.

People hurried about, and everything seemed so peaceful and ordinary, a stark contrast to the apocalyptic scene just moments before.

He looked up and gazed down the street.

A massive, iconic windmill tower slowly rotates in the heart of the city, its blades reflecting a soft glow in the sunlight, like a guardian of the city…
