Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Chapter 30 Nuclear Explosion Kick

Gazing at himself transformed into the all-powerful Ethereal Self in the scene of his memory, Jiang Lan knew clearly in his heart that the legendary scene, the Nuclear Explosion Kick, was about to descend!

At this moment, the viewers in Jiang Lan's memory live stream were unaware that the following scenes would overturn all their understanding; they were simply marveling at how Jiang Lan had finally unlocked and activated her sublimated all-powerful form.

In the fragment of memory, Jiang Lan slowly assumed the starting stance of a knight's kick, a dazzling and violent golden lightning bolt crackling around his right leg, the energy fluctuations enough to make one's heart tremble. He pushed off the ground with his foot and sped towards the turtle-shaped monster not far away!

To conceal his deadly move within what appeared to be an ordinary basic attack, Jiang Lan compressed all the surging energy within his body into the soles of his feet. The terrifying power was so well concealed that it was virtually undetectable unless one paid close attention. With each step, a deep footprint was crushed into the solid ground, and gravel and dust tumbled down amidst the aftershocks of the energy.

Faced with Jiang Lan's thunderous charge, the strange man known to the audience as "Brother Turtle" showed no intention of dodging. He stood still, slowly spreading his arms, his posture arrogant and resolute, as if silently provoking: If you have the guts, then kill me with one kick!

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream shook their heads and sighed. Everyone knew perfectly well that this arrogant turtle-shaped monster was about to pay a heavy price for its arrogance. Did it really think that Jiang Lan's kick was just an ordinary basic attack? Jiang Lan always had a habit of concealing deadly moves within his basic attacks; this strike was definitely not simple!

"Good heavens! Brother Turtle is truly fearless! He doesn't dodge or flinch, he actually spreads his arms to face the charge head-on?"

"As expected of Brother Turtle, that's true manly courage; he didn't back down an inch!"

"In the past, Jiang Lan's first attack after unlocking a new form has always been exceptionally powerful, often killing the enemy in one blow. Brother Turtle is probably going to be in trouble this time."

"Brave, yes, but too reckless. Turning back now might still be in time—"

"Don't talk nonsense! Brother Turtle doesn't even bother to dodge, so why would he choose to run away?"

Amidst the barrage of comments, Jiang Lan had already sprinted to the turtle-shaped monster's side.

"Hooray—!"

With a deep shout, Jiang Lan leaped into the air, his right leg, imbued with golden lightning and carrying the energy of his entire body, slammed into the tortoise-shaped monster's body like a falling meteor!

Caught completely off guard, the turtle-shaped monster was instantly engulfed by the immense force. Its body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground. The earth trembled violently as the monster's massive body was propelled backward by the impact, carving a deep, bottomless trench into the hard ground, sending rubble and dirt flying everywhere.

Rumble—!

The next second, the turtle-shaped monster's body could no longer withstand the energy impact of a nuclear explosion, and it instantly erupted in a violent blast. The raging flames instantly engulfed the entire abandoned factory, and the memory image slowly zoomed out, rising above the city. A blinding ball of fire emanated from the factory, spreading wildly outwards like a tidal wave, and a terrifying shockwave swept in, causing the entire city to tremble as if struck by a devastating earthquake!

In a matter of moments, the flames of the explosion engulfed the entire city, swallowing up buildings and streets. The once bustling metropolis was instantly reduced to ruins, towering skyscrapers turned into charred remains, and all traces of its former vibrancy vanished.

Jiang Lan's kick was truly comparable to a nuclear explosion, effortlessly turning a city into an inferno!

At that moment, the chat in Jiang Lan's live stream instantly went silent, and all viewers fell into a deathly stillness. Even the high-ranking officials of the Blue Star Federation were utterly shocked after witnessing this scene, sitting motionless without uttering a word. The entire conference room was eerily silent, with only the heavy, rapid breathing of everyone clearly audible.

This is absolutely insane!

One kick can destroy a city?

Everyone already knew that Jiang Lan was used to hiding his ultimate move in his basic attacks, but no one had ever imagined that what he had hidden in this seemingly ordinary kick was a terrifying power comparable to a mushroom egg!

Upon realizing this, all the spectators couldn't help but gasp, a bone-chilling cold rushing up their spines to the top of their heads. To compress nuclear-level energy into one's own leg—Jiang Lan's strength had reached an outrageously heaven-defying level!

"Has Jiang Lan become a purely biological weapon? It can actually raze an entire city to the ground!"

'

"How many people will die from this explosion?!"

The Gurongi have ravaged the land for so long, yet the casualties they've caused don't even compare to the number of deaths caused by Jiang Lan's single kick!

"There shouldn't be too many casualties, right? He should have already had Kaoru Ichijo evacuate the crowd—"

"Evacuating the masses can clear the entire city? I doubt even Kaoru herself could escape this inferno—"

"This is terrifying! I knew Jiang Lan's strength had improved, but I never imagined it would be this terrifying!"

"I'm even starting to suspect that the civilizational break back then was really caused by Jiang Lan —"

Meanwhile, inside the Federation's Supreme Command Center for Memory Exploration, all the experts were gripped by utter shock and profound fear. The power Jiang Lan was displaying at this moment had completely exceeded their understanding and imagination; to describe it as world-destroying would be no exaggeration!

"Immediately raise Jiang Lan's danger level; he must be placed under more detailed and rigorous surveillance from now on!"

"This guy's power is beyond our control; the Federation must prepare for the worst!"

"If Jiang Lan completes the memory exploration and fully controls this power, but is not bound by the Federation, it will be a catastrophic disaster for the entire Federation!"

Several experts discussed the matter with grave expressions, their words filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Inside the council hall of the Blue Star Federation, a man with slightly graying temples, dressed in a magnificent yellow robe, sat in the main seat, surrounded by the Federation's true top-level core figures.

"Regarding Zhang Qian's proposal," the man said in a deep, authoritative voice, slowly breaking the silence in the hall, "what are your thoughts?"

On one side of the main seat, a burly old man in a federal military uniform slowly stood up and said with a firm gaze, "Zhang Qian's proposal is feasible, and the military will formulate a specific implementation plan as soon as possible."

After a pause, the old man's gaze grew even more solemn, and his tone became resolute: "As for Jiang Lan—this man, my military will take him."

It was late at night in a ward at Mitaka-dai Hospital in Mitaka City.

Several medical staff stood guard by the hospital bed, their eyes fixed on the little boy, their expressions grave as they monitored his condition. The boy clutched his phone tightly, his gaze fixed on the time on the screen, his eyes filled with barely concealed terror, his fingertips turning white from the pressure.

The viewers in the live stream were also full of questions, and the barrage of comments on the screen kept scrolling—what could possibly frighten a child so much?

"It was the fourth day that guy said—" The boy's voice trembled, his breathy words filled with despair, "Yoshikawa, Tsuzuki, and Fukui—just like he predicted, they all met with misfortune—"

"So I—I will too—"

Before the words were even finished, the fear in the boy's eyes intensified suddenly, as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart. He completely broke down, his heart-wrenching cries and screams echoing through the hospital room. His parents and relatives rushed forward to try and comfort him, but their gentle words could not dispel the darkness and fear spreading in his heart.

Only Jiang Lan knew the terrifying ordeal this child had endured. His hand, hanging by his side, slowly clenched, his knuckles turning cold white—the upcoming battle would be the most furious attack Kongga had ever launched.

That Gurongi named Porcupine deserves to die!

Suddenly, a trickle of bright red blood seeped from the boy's nasal cavity and slowly slid down onto the pillow.

"Doctor! Call a doctor!" the child's parents cried out in anguish, their voices filled with despair that seemed to engulf the entire ward. Even though medical staff rushed in to provide emergency care, the boy's heart-wrenching screams continued to echo from inside the ward. The sound pierced through the screen, sending chills down the spines of every viewer outside the live stream, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The following morning, Xun made a phone call to Jiang Lan's communication device.

When Xun's unharmed figure appeared on the screen, the viewers in the live stream erupted in disbelief and shock. Jiang Lan's attack had practically leveled the entire city, yet Xun had miraculously survived? Had the police really completed the evacuation of the entire city ahead of schedule? Could it be that Jiang Lan's earth-shattering kick had ultimately only taken Turtle's life?

"Officer, how is the case progressing?" Jiang Lan's voice was calm, but it couldn't hide a hint of seriousness.

Kaoru Ichijo frowned and replied in a heavy tone, "Nine more victims have been added. Twenty-four on the first day, twenty-two on the second day, and twenty-three on the third day, which was yesterday. Of the ninety-one male students in the second year of high school at Midorikawa Academy, seventy-eight have now tragically been murdered."

He paused, a hint of uncertainty in his voice: "Such a bizarre scale of casualties is most likely related to unknown life forms, but we can't be completely sure yet. I need to go to Ah Chun's place now to verify if these cases were indeed the work of those guys."

After listening to Kaoru Ichijo's report, Jiang Lan's brows furrowed even more, his eyes blazing with suppressed rage. If it was the Gurongi who did it, he would never let those heartless bastards off easily! To dare to extend their evil clutches to defenseless minors—such behavior was despicable and cruel, utterly unforgivable!

The scene abruptly shifts to a solemn funeral. Several students, dressed in black, attend their classmate's funeral with sorrowful expressions, and a heavy atmosphere of grief permeates the air.

Halfway through the funeral, a male student suddenly convulsed, clutching his head with both hands, and collapsed to his knees in agony. His piercing scream shattered the silence. In a daze, he seemed to see a mysterious dark figure standing in a corner not far away, radiating a chilling aura.

Police officers at the scene immediately rushed forward, squatted down next to the boy, and anxiously inquired about the situation.

"It's him! It's that guy!" The boy's voice was hoarse and broken, filled with extreme fear. "He showed up! He was there at Senior Daishi's funeral yesterday! It must have been him! He's the one who killed everyone!"

However, when the police officer looked in the direction he was pointing, the place was empty, with nothing but a bleak wind and silent tombstones.

Seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream all frowned, their hearts filled with a mixture of anger and heartache. This Gurongi was utterly despicable, specifically targeting innocent students with insidious methods—he deserved to die! Even through the cold screen, even across the vast expanse of time, seeing these young lives brutally murdered and subjected to extreme mental torture still caused the viewers a pang of anguish. At this moment, everyone shared only one thought: they hoped Jiang Lan could find that demon as soon as possible and tear him to pieces!

Not long after, Kaoru's communication was restored, her voice tinged with urgency: "Jiang Lan, we've found a crucial clue. All the victims seem to have had some form of contact with a mysterious young man four days before their deaths. Witnesses also claim that the young man inserted some unidentified object into the bodies of the murdered students and threatened that they would die in four days."

"Although his true identity is still unknown, based on the clues, this young man will definitely appear at the victim's funeral. Just in case, let's meet up first and then make plans!"

Just as Kaoru Ichijo was about to give his location, an urgent notification from police headquarters interrupted him. The voice was cold and heavy: "Officer Ichijo, a second-year student at Midorikawa Academy has just committed suicide—he jumped from a hospital window out of extreme fear that he would die in a bizarre way and died instantly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan's eyes suddenly darkened. After a moment, she slowly spoke, her tone filled with a confident deduction: "If this series of cases is indeed the work of an unknown life form, then this student who committed suicide should not be counted in their game count."

This means that the cruel Gurongi will soon find a new target to fill the void and continue his bloody game!

Sure enough, not long after, the police sent in new, urgent news: "Officer, we've found out! There's a student who just transferred to Class 2D of the second year of high school, and he hasn't had any contact with that mysterious young man yet!"

Kaoru's heart tightened; he instantly realized that this child was very likely to become the Grongi's next target! That demon would surely use him to take the place of the student who committed suicide, continuing his killing game!

"Tell me his name and address immediately!" Kaoru Ichijo's voice was urgent and demanding.

"Kazuya Ikuta, his address is 6-5-10, Maehara-cho, Koganei City."

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Lan didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately mounted his motorcycle, the engine roaring low, and sped off towards the Ikuta Kazuya residence. To gain every second, he even transformed mid-journey, twisting the throttle to its limit, and the motorcycle shot through the morning mist like an arrow, racing towards its destination.

Racing against time, a race against death!

The viewers in the live stream, seeing Jiang Lan's furious yet extremely anxious expression, all understood—

This time, Jiang Lan was truly enraged. Perhaps, a Gurongi who died even more tragically than Brother Turtle was about to perish in his fury—
