Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Chapter 33 Monster Version of Kuuga

Outside the live stream, all the viewers were stunned. Everyone's eyes were glued to Jiang Lan on the screen, their eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

They were absolutely certain that just a moment ago, Jiang Lan's figure had transformed into a pitch-black shadow that exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression!

What kind of existence is it?

Endless doubts surged in the hearts of every viewer. The next second, the barrage of comments in the live stream exploded like ignited explosives, with dense text scrolling rapidly, almost covering the entire screen.

"Did you see that just now? Jiang Lan in the fire, her body seems to have turned black!"

"I thought I was seeing things—Jiang Lan in that form was absolutely terrifying!"

"Although it was only a fleeting moment, the invisible deterrent force could be felt even through the screen!"

"Could Jiang Lan really be reduced to a mere biological weapon, just as Chun Xiuyi predicted?"

"If that's really the case, with Jiang Lan's terrifying strength now, the humans of that era probably wouldn't have been able to contend with him at all, right?"

"Let alone back then, even in modern times, Jiang Lan's combat strength would make him an unstoppable force!"

"He can destroy an entire city with a single kick; who can stop him?"

"The Federation? How many nuclear kicks could the Federation's army withstand from Jiang Lan?"

The barrage of comments surged through the live stream, the shock and anxiety in the words almost overflowing the screen.

At the headquarters of the Blue Star Federation, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

The high-ranking officials looked grave, all of them aware of one fact: if Jiang Lan had truly inherited all the abilities of his previous life and escaped the Federation's surveillance, then he would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire Federation.

Restraining such an existence is by no means easy, and may even come at an unbearable cost.

Therefore, the best strategy at present is to proactively show goodwill to Jiang Lan and do everything possible to win him over. In any case, it is essential to avoid becoming adversaries with him.

If he is willing to serve the Federation in the future, that would be wonderful; even if he is not, the Federation must not force him.

In short, even the Federation would not want to offend Jiang Lan unless absolutely necessary.

After slaying the porcupine, Jiang Lan stood alone by the lake, silent for a long time. His head was bowed, and his figure looked particularly desolate in the twilight. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

As the sun slowly set, its golden afterglow poured down, outlining a soft yet lonely silhouette around his figure.

The viewers in the live stream were filled with mixed emotions as they watched this scene.

There are many people in this world who, after suddenly gaining immense power, often indulge themselves, act recklessly, and even trample on the law and place themselves above the rules. But Jiang Lan chose the most difficult path—taking the initiative to shoulder responsibility and making it her duty to protect this world.

The memory fragments suddenly shifted.

Several days have passed since Jiang Lan killed the porcupine. During this time, he has defeated several Gurongi in succession, but that black form that appeared briefly that day and exuded a terrifying sense of oppression has never appeared again.

At this time, Kaoru Ichijo was holding a special seminar with senior police officials, the topic of which was the threat posed by the Gurongi.

"By the time of the 44th and 45th Grongi, they have acquired the ability to adjust their form according to the battlefield situation," Kaoru Ichijo's voice was calm and solemn. "According to the intelligence provided by Jiang Lan, compared to previously encountered unknown life forms, this batch of Grongi has significantly improved in strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a police officer's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "So that means—it's unimaginable just how terrifying 'Number Zero's' strength is!"

The "Zero" mentioned by the police officers was the one who brutally massacred the entire archaeological team at the Jiulangyue Ruins.

A mysterious entity that resurrects all unknown life forms (Grongi).

The viewers in the live stream were suddenly jolted awake—after that guy resurrected the Grongi, he completely disappeared!

Could it be that this is the ultimate weapon hidden by the Gurongi?

In the conference room, the officers immediately engaged in a heated discussion.

"Zero is the being that brings ultimate darkness!"

"But what exactly does this so-called 'ultimate darkness' refer to?"

Kaoru Ichijo slowly began, "Regarding this matter, I have commissioned Dr. Sakurako Sawatari of Jonan University to conduct an investigation."

At this moment, Jiang Lan, who was granted special permission to attend the meeting, frowned deeply and slowly spoke, her tone carrying an undisguised solemnity: "Based on my personal intuition, Zero—how should I describe him—I can't quite put it into words, but just one glance from him feels like being crushed by invisible pressure, making even breathing incredibly difficult! Without a doubt, he possesses a terrifying power that inspires despair!"

Jiang Lan's words were like a thunderclap in the conference room, leaving all the police officers present shocked and deeply shaken!

Even Jiang Lan is so wary of him, so Zero's strength must far exceed all of their imaginations!

Do they really have a chance of winning against such a terrifying force?

The viewers in the live stream were equally shocked upon hearing this, their hearts instantly filled with immense emotion.

Was it enough for Jiang Lan to suffocate just by being looked at?

Just how terrifying was that Zero?

If his strength far surpasses Jiang Lan's, could it be that—it was precisely because Jiang Lan was no match for Zero that humanity was massacred, ultimately leading to a civilizational break?

Thinking of this, all the audience members couldn't help but hold their breath, their hearts heavy. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the buried truth.

After the meeting, Jiang Lan went to Jonan University to conduct research with Sakurako Sawatari.

Sakurako Sawatari explained to him, "The basic forms of the ancient Kuuga only have four types: red, green, blue, and purple. Adding the black form, there are a total of five. Your sublimated form, which possesses golden power, is a special case that was only triggered by chance when you were stimulated by Tsubaki Shuichi's electric shock last time."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Jiang Lan's eyes, and a bold idea sprouted in his mind: since the last electric shock allowed him to control the power of the sublimated form, if he went to Chun Xiuyi again and stimulated himself in the same way, would he be able to become stronger?

After thinking it over carefully for a moment, he actually felt that this seemingly crazy method might actually be feasible.

Jiang Lan, who is always decisive, immediately got up, got on his motorcycle, and sped off in the direction of Chun Xiuyi—he really intended to "get an electric shock again."

The viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded!

Good grief, this guy is actually willing to suffer electric shocks just to become stronger!

-

Jiang Lan had only driven a short distance when she received an urgent report from the police—a new Gurongi had appeared!

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Lan immediately turned the motorcycle around and sped off towards the scene of the incident.

At first, the audience thought it was just an ordinary battle in Jiang Lan's daily hunt for Gurongi, and they were not too nervous.

But when new memory fragments came into view, all the audience members, including the high-ranking officials of the Blue Star Federation, could no longer sit still!

Everyone gasped in shock, feeling a chill run down their spines and a cold shiver shoot from their feet to the top of their heads. Jiang Lan, who could effortlessly unleash a nuclear kick, had been severely injured and unconscious, his fate unknown!

Just how terrifying is Zero?

Jiang Lan was heading to Chun Xiuyi's residence, planning to stimulate her own potential through electric shocks and try to unlock new powers. However, before she even reached her destination, her phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed Ichijo Kaoru.

On the other end of the phone, Xun's voice was unusually urgent and solemn: "Jiang Lan, head to the police station immediately!"

An unknown life form has appeared here; the situation is extremely critical!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan's heart clenched and his pupils contracted slightly: How dare the Gurongi break into the police station?

At the same time, his viewers in the live stream were instantly stunned, and after a brief pause, the chat exploded with comments: "Did I hear that right? The Gurongi stormed into the police station?"

"Just who is this ruthless character who dares to go straight for the heart of the enemy?"

"Are you crazy? That's the police station—"

The scene shifts to the Nishitama Police Station, where the horrific scene from memory rushes back. The entire station is a scene of utter devastation, with the bodies of officers lying haphazardly on the floor, their cold forms silently testifying to the recent carnage. The thick stench of blood mingles with the smell of gunpowder, lingering in the confined space, suffocating the senses.

The Grongi who perpetrated this tragedy was named G. Gaddar Ba. Its prototype was a rhinoceros beetle, and it regarded Kuuga, who possessed the power of a stag beetle, as its destined enemy. What was most terrifying about it was that it possessed five forms that corresponded one-to-one with Kuuga: Fighting Body, Power Body, Shooting Body, Agile Body, and Electric Body, making it a perfect replica of its natural enemy.

Among them, its fighting form is proficient in various punching and kicking fighting techniques, corresponding to Jiang Lan's all-around form Kuuga, and its combat power far exceeds that of any Gurongi that has appeared before!

Gador glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, a smirk playing on his lips, his tone laced with impatience: "How boring. Aren't there any stronger human warriors?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Lan, who was rushing on her way, received another follow-up notification from the police station: the police officers who arrived at the scene first had successfully lured Gador away to avoid greater casualties, and their destination was the abandoned factory site in Tama City.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Lan immediately transformed into Kuuga All-Around Form, mounted the experimental Tracker, and sped off towards the abandoned factory amidst the roar of the engine, raising clouds of dust and exuding a chilling killing intent.

Outside the abandoned factory, Gador was closing in on the police officers it was chasing. The officers, armed with pistols, fired wildly at Gador as they retreated in disarray, their faces filled with fear yet still holding their ground.

"Bang bang bang!"

A barrage of gunfire erupted, pistol barrels spitting fire as bullets rained down on Gador. But the expected devastating damage failed to materialize. The bullets struck its outer shell with only dull thuds, like tickling, utterly unable to penetrate its defenses!

The viewers in the live stream erupted in anger upon seeing this, with the chat filled with expressions of anxiety and rage: "They clearly knew handguns were ineffective against the Grongi, so why didn't they upgrade the officers' equipment?"

"This is the time to deploy the army! With anti-materiel rifles, I refuse to believe we can't break through their defenses!"

"If all else fails, use armor-piercing rounds! They're better than a pistol!"

"With so many Gurongi appearing, the police officers are still using their small pistols to hold them off—"

"Only Kaoru Ichijo is somewhat reliable; at least she knows to carry a sniper rifle. The others are completely powerless to resist."

"Jiang Lan is under too much pressure to eliminate all the Gurongi by himself."

Just as the officers were about to give up, a familiar engine roar suddenly resounded throughout the area, like a horn of hope breaking through the deathly silence.

Upon hearing this voice, the police officers, who had been on edge and struggling to resist with their small pistols, instantly felt a huge weight lifted from their shoulders, their tense bodies slowly relaxing—the man who could save them had arrived!

Jiang Lan drove up at high speed, stopped the car steadily, and then jumped down. Upon landing, she did a neat roll, picked up a leftover revolver from the ground, and with a flash of light, smoothly switched to her Pegasus form, which was good at long-range attacks!

Jiang Lan, transformed into his Pegasus form, had a cold and stern expression. He was ruthless and didn't talk much. He raised his hand and condensed an energy arrow, then pulled the trigger at Gador's back, shooting the arrow with the intent to kill him in one blow!

"boom--!"

The energy arrow struck Gador's back precisely, instantly exploding into a burst of golden light. An energy mark appeared on Gador's back, from which golden energy continuously overflowed.

But this scene lasted only a moment before the golden energy, along with the mark, mysteriously vanished, as if it had never existed!

This bizarre scene sent chills down the spines of the viewers in the live stream, and the chat froze for a few seconds. "There have been Gurongi who could withstand Jiang Lan's ultimate skill before, but this is the first time I've seen an ultimate skill simply dissipate on its own like this!"

"This defensive power is outrageous! Gador's strength far exceeds our expectations!"

At this moment, Gador did not turn around. Its eyes slowly turned into a sinister green, and a crossbow-shaped energy weapon instantly condensed in its palm, exuding a deadly pressure.

The next second, Gador suddenly turned around and pulled the trigger at Jiang Lan's location!

"Boom—!"

Terrifying energy instantly filled the area where Jiang Lan had just stood, followed by a series of violent explosions. Flames shot into the sky, smoke billowed, and shockwaves swept around, blasting a deep crater into the ground.

Fortunately, Jiang Lan reacted extremely quickly. The moment the energy crossbow bolt was fired, his figure suddenly flashed, and the light around him changed again, instantly switching to the agile Azure Dragon form. He barely dodged the fatal blow and his figure flashed out in the dust, completely unharmed.

Holding an energy crossbow, Gador approached Jiang Lan step by step, slowly raising the crossbow bolt in his hand and aiming it at him again, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

Jiang Lan dared not slacken his guard in the slightest. His gaze swept across the ground, and he casually picked up a thick tree branch. Light flowed around him once more, and his form shifted to Titan form, which combined defense and power. The tree branch instantly transformed under the infusion of energy, turning into a heavy Titan sword. Jiang Lan gripped the sword with both hands and slowly stepped closer to Gador. Each step was steady and powerful, and his fighting spirit surged.

"Bang!"

Gadoru struck first, firing an energy crossbow bolt that struck Jiang Lan's breastplate with pinpoint accuracy. Even in his formidable Titan form, Jiang Lan was still forced back two steps by the force of the impact, the ground beneath his feet cracking slightly before he could regain his footing.

After regaining his footing, Jiang Lan no longer hesitated. He flashed to Gadoru's side, raised the Titan Sword with both hands, and slashed fiercely at the energy crossbow in the opponent's hand!

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was extremely piercing. Gador's energy crossbow was cleaved in two by a single sword strike, and fragments flew everywhere.

The moment the crossbow bolt was knocked away, Gador's eyes suddenly turned a deep purple, and his aura surged once more!

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Lan let out a low shout, seized the opportunity, and thrust out the Titan Sword in his hand. The sharp blade instantly pierced through Gador's abdomen, and blood slowly dripped down the blade.

Shockingly, Gador showed no reaction, as if it weren't its own body that had been pierced. It slowly raised its hand and placed it on the Titan sword that had pierced it, its palm surging with eerie energy.

The next second, a bizarre scene unfolded—the Titan Sword slowly deformed under the influence of energy, eventually transforming into a grotesque longsword, which Gador held firmly in his hand!

That's right, it also has a similar ability to Kuuga, which is to turn any object it touches into its own weapon!

The viewers in the live stream went wild, with the screen filled with astonishment and anxiety.

"Holy crap! This guy is a monster version of Kuuga!"

"It has all the abilities I have, how can I possibly fight it?"

Not only does it exist, but it also seems to be significantly stronger than Jiang Lan, having disarmed the Titan Sword entirely!

"No wonder Jiang Lan wanted to unlock new powers through electric shocks. The Gurongi are getting stronger and stronger; if they don't upgrade soon, they really won't be able to withstand it!"

Gador forcefully pulled the longsword piercing his abdomen, and the energy at the wound rapidly pulsed, slowly healing. Gripping the stolen sword, he approached Jiang Lan step by step, each step carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

"clang!"

Gador swung his sword down, the sharp sword energy instantly striking Jiang Lan's breastplate. Even under the heavy armor protection of his Titan form, Jiang Lan was still knocked back by the immense force and nearly fell.

"Clang clang clang!"

Gador pressed his advantage, unleashing a barrage of sword strikes, each blow deadly. Jiang Lan barely managed to steady himself, attempting to retaliate with his fists, but Gador easily parried each attack, leaving Jiang Lan's arms numb with each impact.

After just a few rounds, Jiang Lan was at a disadvantage. He was struck in the chest by Gadoru's heavy sword and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

On his chest, a deep sword mark was clearly visible on the thick armor of his Titan form. Energy light flickered continuously at the mark, indicating that the armor had been damaged.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lan's live stream fell into a deathly silence.

The Titan-form armor was actually slashed open with sword marks—

It’s over————

This time, it's really over!
