They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 481 Kamen Rider W
"Hey, you guy."

A slightly hoarse, unruly young male voice came from the black-clad figure.

"Did you cause that explosion just now?"

This is not a question, but an interrogation.

The anger contained in his words almost reignited the air that had just cooled down.

"So what if it is?"

Faced with this opening statement brimming with tension, Zhang Qi's expression remained unchanged; he merely turned slightly to ask a question in return.

"you……"

Hearing this nonchalant question was like a spark splashing into a gasoline can.

Shotaro, dressed in black, was instantly enraged.

He loved this city, and the monster before him, who had not only caused such horrific destruction but also acted with complete indifference afterward, ignited his fury.

His black upper body muscles were bulging, and he looked ready to charge forward without regard for anything.

However, just a second before he acted, the green half of his body suddenly raised its arm and forcefully restrained the impulsive black half of his body.

"Wait, Shotaro!"

Another clear and rational voice rang out.

"Calm down, Shotaro! He's not an ordinary hybrid, he's a member of the 'Museum'!"

Shotaro's movements faltered.

His gaze followed Philip's suggestion and fell on Zhang Qi's waist.

cadre.

This word cooled his boiling blood a little.

He understands what this means.

This means that the other party is a high-ranking member of the "Museum" organization and one of the sources of Gaia Memory circulation. Their strength and level of danger are far beyond those of the ordinary dopants encountered before.

"So what if he's a cadre?!"

He growled,

"Since you are the root of all evil, then there is even more reason to bring you to justice! Philip, let's go!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Kamen Rider W moved.

His figure transformed into a blur of green and black, rushing towards Zhang Qi at an astonishing speed.

The wind amplified his leg, and his first strike was a powerful whirlwind kick.

However, faced with this swift attack, Zhang Qi simply raised his arm calmly.

His movements weren't fast, but he precisely blocked the W kick's trajectory.

boom!
A muffled thud. W's heel struck Zhang Qi's crystal arm squarely, the force enough to break steel bars, but Zhang Qi remained completely still.

W, on the other hand, felt as if he had kicked an unshakeable mountain, the enormous reaction force causing him to freeze.

When his first attack failed, W immediately used the momentum to flip over and threw both fists at once, the wind whistling through the air.

But no matter how swift or tricky his attacks were, Zhang Qi could always neutralize them with the simplest parry and the slightest sidestep.

He was like a top martial arts master who took the concept of "anticipating the enemy's moves" to its extreme.

"Damn it! This guy's movements are too weird!" Xiang
Taro cursed inwardly, feeling extremely frustrated that every attack he made felt like he was deliberately walking into the opponent's defensive circle.

"He's reading our attack pattern! Shotaro, change form!"

Philip's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"it is good!"

【LUNA!】【TRIGGER!】

Accompanied by electronic sound effects, W's form instantly changes.

The golden arm stretched out like a whip, wrapping around Zhang Qi at an unbelievable angle. At the same time, the blue arm rose, and blue energy bullets condensed at the muzzle of the trigger gun.

However, at the same moment W completed his transformation, Zhang Qi also moved.

Countless crystal fragments materialized out of thin air, rapidly forming a complex lens. A purer, more condensed white beam shot out from the lens, colliding precisely with the energy bullet fired from the trigger Magnum in mid-air, annihilating both of them.

"what?!"

Upon seeing this, Philip let out an incredulous exclamation.
"He copied [LUNA]'s extension properties and [TRIGGER]'s energy shot?"

How could it be possible in such a short time…

"Don't worry about it!"

Shotaro's ruthlessness kicked in.
"Change again!"

【HEAT!】【METAL!】

W's body transformed once more, becoming a red and silver color scheme symbolizing power and heat.

The blazing flames wrapped around the silver metal rod, carrying a temperature high enough to melt steel, and smashed down!

Faced with this ferocious attack, Zhang Qi remained unmoved and did not dodge.

His entire body, within its translucent crystal interior, began to glow with a metallic sheen. He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, directly meeting the burning metal staff.

clang--!
The collision of metal and crystal did not produce a crisp cracking sound, but rather a booming sound of metal colliding.

A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread out from the two people, creating a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks in the ground.

Zhang Qi's palm turned as red as a branding iron the moment it touched the scorching long staff, yet he remained unharmed, steadily catching the crushing blow.

"monster……"

Shotaro clenched his teeth, his arms trembling uncontrollably from the struggle.

He realized how terrifying his opponent was; not only their abilities, but even their very nature had been perfectly replicated!
"Shotaro, this can't go on. He'll be able to analyze and copy all our abilities!"

Philip's voice was filled with an unprecedented anxiety.
"That's the only option we can use! Let's take a gamble!"

"Exactly what I want!"

The two were of one mind and retreated at the same time, creating distance between them, before switching back to their original green and black form.

【MAXIMUM DRIVE!】

The declaration of extreme drive resounded through the night sky.

W leaped into the air, his body suddenly splitting in two, transforming into two figures, one black and one green, which rushed towards Zhang Qi from two directions in a zigzag trajectory, unleashing their strongest ultimate attack!

However, faced with this final trump card, Zhang Qi finally stopped passively defending and copying.

On that smooth, mirror-like face, the data stream reached its peak speed.

"So that's how it is. By splitting the energy in half and attacking from two dimensions, you can destroy only the memory core?"

Zhang Qi commented, and before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist.

He simply threw a punch forward in the direction from which W was attacking from both sides.

boom! ! !
Zhang Qi's fist collided with W's knight kicks, which came from both sides, at the same instant.

W's ultimate attack is an attack that splits energy in two, with the aim of destroying only the memory without killing the user.

Such a move was far too obvious to him...

"Uhhhhhh-!"

Shotaro and Philip screamed at the same time.

Then, Kamen Rider W's body flew backward at several times the speed of its arrival, like a rag doll hit head-on by a battering ram.

In mid-air, W's armor began to dissipate, reverting to Shotaro, and finally crashed heavily into the rubble.

Zhang Qi slowly withdrew his fist, and the dazzling crystal radiance on his body gradually faded, revealing a well-tailored black suit.

There wasn't a single wrinkle on his suit, as if the thrilling battle that had just taken place had never happened.

He strode calmly toward Shotaro, who was lying on the ground, and knelt down.

"I'll borrow your belt and take a look at it."

As he spoke, he reached out and unfastened the W Driver from Shotaro's waist, taking it along with the two core memories in his hand.

"you……"

Shotaro seemed to sense something while unconscious, uttering incoherent murmurs, but he was no longer able to resist.

Just as all this was happening, in the darkness in the distance, a woman whose entire body was wrapped in white bandages took in the whole scene.

【TRUTH】...The Truth...

She knew this memory better than anyone else.

Because this was supposed to be a forbidden creation that only existed in her imagination, which she personally led the development of and then sealed away.

Back when she was still with the Sonozaki family, she had participated in the research and development of this memory.

To drive memory, a physical body is needed as the container, and the mind is needed as the driving force.

Therefore, the more powerful the memory, the greater the mental and physical burden on the user. This is an insurmountable rule of the Gaia Memory.

The [Truth] memory was created specifically for her son, the man who came (Philip).

Its purpose is to maximize the power of the "Earth Library".

Her son has the ability to access Earth's memories and read all the information about the planet since its birth, making him "omniscient".

The [Truth] memory possesses the terrifying power to transform this "omniscience" into "omnipotence".

As long as you know and understand, you can turn knowledge into reality through "truth".

The ultimate goal of this project is to elevate her son to the status of an all-knowing and all-powerful God.

However, the project ultimately failed.

Because this power has long surpassed the limits that humanity can bear.

As Philip attempted to activate it, the boundless information pouring in from the Earth Library, transformed into an endless power through the [Truth], formed a devastating storm.

That power was something even her son couldn't bear the price of becoming a god.

That's why she had to abandon this crazy plan and settle for second best, continuing the "linking to Earth" concept and developing a more stable and gentler [Extreme] Memory...

However, this forbidden power, which she deemed "forbidden for humans," is now being displayed on a strange man.

Who exactly is this man?
