Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Moreover, the textured material is something that modern technology could never create.

Just then, the sounds of commotion outside penetrated the walls and entered the room, accompanied by bursts of gunfire and piercing screams. The two men exchanged a glance, immediately got up, and ran towards the police station entrance. Just as they reached the door, an out-of-control police car crashed through the heavy glass door like a wild horse, sending shards of debris flying and filling the entire area with dust.

Chaos erupted instantly inside the police station as officers screamed and scattered for cover. But what stepped out of the driver's seat of the police car was not an officer at all—it was a tall, humanoid monster covered in a deep purple carapace, with a spider-like head, eight compound eyes that glowed with a cold red light, and it walked upright on two legs. Sharp claws extended from its fingertips. It was none other than the resurrected member of the Gurongi race—Zu Gomuum Ba.

Gumu's gaze instantly locked onto the Kuuga belt in Jiang Lan's hand, its mouth uttering a low, incomprehensible Gurongi whisper, its tone filled with greed and fanaticism. It strode towards the two, its claws gleaming deadly in the lamplight. "Shoot!" someone shouted, and the police officers inside immediately raised their guns, aiming at Gumu. A dense hail of bullets rained down like a storm, the deafening gunfire echoing through the air.

Desperately, the bullets, powerful enough to pierce steel, struck Gumu's armor, leaving only shallow craters before bouncing off, causing no real damage. Enraged by the gunfire, Gumu let out a piercing roar, lashing out with his claws and charging into the crowd of officers, beginning a frenzied slaughter. "Thud—" "Tear—" The sounds of flesh being torn apart rang out continuously, scalding blood splattering across the walls and floor, transforming the once tidy police station into a living hell.

The audience outside the screen was horrified by the bloody scene, a chill running down their spines. "Bullets can't even penetrate it? What is this monster made of?!" "There were such terrifying creatures on Earth before, thank goodness we live in a peaceful era!" "Jiang Lan, run!" "What is his identity? How did an archaeologist get involved in this?!" The comments section was in complete chaos, with some panicking, some worried, and most wondering about Jiang Lan's background.

A pungent, acrid stench of blood assaulted his nostrils, causing Jiang Lan's pupils to contract sharply. A flurry of fragmented images flashed through his mind—red armor, the roars of monsters, a blood-soaked battle… The images were blurry yet familiar, as if etched into his very soul. He stared at the frenzied slaughter of the Gumu before him, his heart pounding, his eyes instantly sharpening like knives, a chilling killing intent emanating from him. Ze Du Yingzi noticed his distress and instinctively gripped his arm, her voice trembling, "Jiang Lan, are you alright?"

"Sakura, you'd better hide." Jiang Lan's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth. He slowly released Sakura's hand, reached for the Kuuga belt beside him, and the moment his fingertips touched the belt, a faint warmth spread through his body. "I'll try it on."

Before the words were even finished, Gumu's claws, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, hurtled straight at Jiang Lan's face, moving so fast they left only a blur! In the nick of time, Jiang Lan instinctively dodged to the side, the claws grazing his shoulder and sending a gust of cold wind through him. Using the momentum from his dodge, he quickly fastened the Kuuga belt to his waist. The belt instantly burst into a dazzling silver-blue light, as if coming alive, slowly merging into his body along his skin. After the light faded, the patterns on the belt faintly appeared on his lower abdomen, disappearing in a flash.

Sakurako Sawatari took a half-step back in shock, covering her mouth with both hands, her pretty face filled with disbelief: "His waist... his belt was absorbed by his body?" The audience outside the screen fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared intently at the screen, forgetting even to breathe. The experts at the Federation Command also widened their eyes instantly, leaning forward and staring intently at Jiang Lan on the screen, not even noticing their pens falling to the ground with a "clatter."

Enraged by the absorption of the belt, Gumu let out a furious roar, charged at Jiang Lan, grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and threw him out of the police station like trash. With a loud thud, Jiang Lan crashed onto the concrete ground of the square, the intense pain causing him to groan and a trickle of blood to escape from the corner of his mouth.

Gumu followed closely behind, rushing out of the police station. His massive fist, carrying immense force, slammed into Jiang Lan's chest. Two muffled thuds echoed, each punch causing the ground to tremble slightly. Jiang Lan curled up on the ground, his face ashen white. Excruciating pain washed over him like a tidal wave. He gritted his teeth, but a defiant flame burned in his eyes: "If this continues… I'll die…"

The moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Lan suddenly raised his hand and punched Gumu in the chest with all his might! "Boom—!" The dull thud rippled through the air. The punch landed solidly on Gumu's carapace, causing the monster, which bullets couldn't even scratch, to stagger back several steps, almost falling to the ground!

This scene was like a thunderclap, leaving the audience outside the screen momentarily blank, only the booming sound echoing in their ears. The live chat remained silent for a full three seconds before being flooded with astonishment: "Holy crap! He knocked back a monster with a single punch? I can't believe my eyes!" "What kind of god-like physique is that! Bullets couldn't even penetrate it, yet he stunned it with just one punch?" "Jiang Lan is the real hidden monster!"

Inside the Federal Command Center, the experts completely lost control. Some slammed their fists on the table and stood up abruptly, while others rubbed their eyes in disbelief. A white-haired expert said in a trembling voice, "The human body... can actually fight against monsters of this level... This completely defies the common sense of physics!" Zhang Qian stared intently at the light screen, his eyes filled with shock and inquiry, his fingers unconsciously clenching into fists.

After regaining his footing, the red light in Gumu's eyes intensified, clearly enraged by the punch and preparing to launch another attack.

Before it could even take a step, a soft yet powerful white light suddenly emanated from Jiang Lan's body, enveloping him like a tide. Then, a set of sleek white armor slowly emerged from the light—the armor covered his entire body, with sharp ridges on his shoulders and arms, a round, sparkling crystal embedded in his chest, and the faint outline of the Kuuga belt visible at his waist. The entire suit of armor gleamed with a holy and majestic luster in the sunlight, making Jiang Lan appear like a war god descended to earth.
