Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Chapter 36 even has a delayed trigger?

A deafening roar ripped through the tranquility of the jungle, and rolling thunder, accompanied by dazzling golden light, exploded wildly in the thicket!

Surrounding Jiang Lan, raging golden lightning surged forth from his body like a raging dragon, completely engulfing his form. Amidst the intertwining lightning, crackling and popping sounds echoed incessantly, even scorching and distorting the surrounding air. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone from his left leg, and a sharply styled golden armor slowly materialized as if forged from molten gold, its patterns flowing with the faint glow of lightning. It subtly echoed the form of his Ascended Omnipotent Self, yet appeared even more imposing and awe-inspiring.

Immediately afterwards, the original red armor on Jiang Lan's body began to fade at a visible speed, slowly being covered with a layer of matte black texture. Black and gold interwoven patterns meandered and spread along the outline of the armor, from the shoulder armor to the chest armor, and then to the limbs, every inch exuding a suffocating sense of oppression—a deterrent power far exceeding that of the sublimated form, as if even space itself was being crushed and caved in by this aura.

"This is Kuuga's amazing omnipotent form!"

The silent declaration seemed to resound throughout the heavens and earth. Jiang Lan, using the golden power condensed within his body as a foundation, broke through the shackles once again and completed a second enhancement beyond the sublimation form! This form clearly belongs to the lightning attribute. The ferocity of lightning and the thickness of the black gold armor are perfectly integrated, forging an unparalleled combat power at this moment.

When Jiang Lan's black and gold figure was completely frozen on the screen, the live stream chat exploded. The comments flooded in like a tidal wave, filled with excitement and awe: "As expected! Jiang Lan never disappoints, he's gotten even stronger!"

"His inherent trait is that he becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents! The more oppressive the situation, the stronger the rebound!"

"When you push him to the brink, he always manages to pull out something new! That sense of pressure is incredible!"

"Is this form—the same black shadow that flashed by when we killed the porcupine Gurongi last time?"

"Judging from the black and gold color scheme, it's most likely! But it feels a little different—"

"It's different! The black form in the flames last time was far more terrifying and oppressive than this; it was suffocating!"

"So, this astonishing omnipotence isn't even Jiang Lan's limit?"

"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! This guy is a monster-level, growth-oriented fighter!"

"If he gets defeated by Zero once, could he turn the tables and suppress Zero in the end?"

The barrage of comments kept flooding the screen, but inside the top-secret council chamber of the Blue Star Federation, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

In the dim light, the Federation's high-ranking officials sat in a circle, whispering in hushed tones, their brows furrowed with shock and anxiety. "Didn't those experts confidently assure us that Jiang Lan's potential was capped at the sublimation stage?" an elderly man with white hair clenched his fist, his voice filled with disbelief. "This kid's growth rate is completely defying logic. If this continues, the Federation's order might be utterly overturned!"

"Once Jiang Lan's memory exploration is over, the entire Federation will probably be in an uproar," another man in military uniform said in a deep voice. "If he hadn't inherited the abilities from his previous life, that would be fine, but once he has—we're afraid we won't be able to control him at all."

A murmur of discussion arose among the crowd, but Qin Zhang sat silently in a corner, eyes closed, uttering not a word. His aura was cold and still, and no one knew what he was thinking. Jiang Lan's strength had already exceeded everyone's expectations; he had now become someone the Federation had to pay close attention to.

On the battlefield, Jiang Lan, having completed his transformation, slowly opened his eyes, a sharp, lightning-like glint flashing within them. His aura continued to surge wildly, erupting like a volcano, and the aura that had previously been locked in a stalemate with Gador was now firmly suppressing his opponent!

Golden lightning crackled and swirled around his legs, emitting a piercing electrical sound, and his trouser legs flapped wildly from the energy. Jiang Lan slammed his feet into the ground, instantly creating spiderweb-like cracks, and his figure transformed into a bolt of black and gold lightning, carrying the force of a thunderbolt as he charged towards Gador!

Unlike his Ascended Omnipotent Form, Jiang Lan's soles were now enveloped in a dense aura of energy. The former only enhanced the explosive power of his right leg to the extreme, while the Astonishing Omnipotent Form pushed the power of both legs to their peak! With each step, the earth trembled violently, leaving a deep footprint on the ground, and the surrounding weeds were instantly scorched black by the high temperature of the lightning, with wisps of smoke rising.

Gador's pupils constricted sharply, and its aura instantly became violent and wary. It clearly sensed that the power contained within the body of the Void before it was several times more terrifying than during their last encounter! It no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, silently waiting for its opponent's fatal blow. To avoid repeating the mistake of being severely injured by a single kick, Gador immediately mobilized all its energy. Rolling dark purple energy frantically gathered in its legs, causing its muscles to bulge and its skin to display ferocious patterns. It was clearly preparing to unleash the fatal kick that had once severely injured Jiang Lan.

"Hooray—!"

Two ferocious roars echoed through the jungle simultaneously as Jiang Lan and Gador collided in mid-air, their legs clashing violently! Jiang Lan's black-gold armored legs landed precisely on Gador's abdomen, the dull thud of metal against flesh accompanied by a deafening explosion of energy. Meanwhile, Gador's clawed feet were aimed straight at Jiang Lan's chest. In the nick of time, Jiang Lan crossed his arms to block in front of his chest. The crisp sound of the armor colliding was extremely piercing. He used the impact to slightly slow down, barely managing to deflect some of the fatal damage.

Rumble—!

A terrifying energy shockwave emanated from the point of impact, spreading wildly outwards. Trees and plants were snapped in half, and debris and sand flew everywhere, instantly turning the jungle into a scene of devastation. The two figures, like kites with broken strings, crashed heavily to the ground simultaneously. After the dull thud, dust billowed, and both fell into a brief state of unconsciousness.

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream fell silent for a moment, then were flooded with exclamations of amazement: "This Gador is too tough! He's probably the strongest Grongi ever!" "Normally, after Jiang Lan unlocks his new form, he can instantly kill any other Grongi. Only this guy can fight Jiang Lan in his new form to a standstill!" "Even Turtle Bro isn't this resilient. This monster's toughness is outrageous!"

Time ticked by, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Suddenly, Gador moved, struggling to prop up its heavy body. Its crimson eyes were fixed on Jiang Lan, who was still unconscious not far away, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of its mouth.

When Gador was the first to awaken, the viewers in the live stream instantly erupted in chaos, the screen filled with anxiety and panic: "Holy crap! We're doomed! How come this monster woke up first?" "Even its new form can't beat it? Jiang Lan is in danger this time!" "Damn it! If it finishes him off now, Jiang Lan won't stand a chance!" "This is the first time I've seen someone beat Jiang Lan while he's in his new form's protective phase. Gador is too monstrous—" "No way, is Jiang Lan really going to die here this time?"

All the viewers were glued to the screen, their hearts pounding in their chests. No one dared to blink, afraid of missing a single moment. However, what happened next completely exceeded everyone's expectations!

Just as Gador struggled to his feet, slowly raised his right leg, and prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Lan, his body suddenly stiffened. A piercing pain shot through his abdomen, as if two red-hot daggers had plunged into his body, causing him to let out a mournful roar.

Gador instinctively looked down, his pupils shrinking, his face filled with disbelief and fear—two deep purple marks had appeared on his abdomen, with two pulsating golden lightning energies swirling around their centers, frantically devouring his bodily functions and spreading throughout his body along his blood vessels.

At the same time, Jiang Lan slowly opened his eyes, the confusion in them quickly fading away, replaced by a cold clarity. He supported himself on the ground and slowly stood up, the lightning around him still flickering slightly.

Gadoru's voice trembled with fear. It staggered backward, frantically scratching its abdomen, trying to dispel the two golden energies. But no matter how much it channeled its internal energy to resist, the two golden lightning bolts clung to it like maggots, not only failing to dissipate but growing even more intense. "No—impossible—I can't—dispel this energy—"

Damn it! This time it's really over!

The viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded. The chat froze for a few seconds before being flooded with question marks and exclamations: "Holy crap? What kind of move is this? The ultimate skill energy even has a delayed trigger?" "My god! Jiang Lan planned this all along?"

However, the scene that unfolded the next second made all the viewers' hearts stop. The two balls of golden lightning energy suddenly erupted, and the terrifying power instantly tore apart Gador's body. The blinding golden light engulfed its figure, and the violent explosion swept through the jungle again, with smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

This delayed ultimate move is far more terrifying than anyone imagined!
