As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

The surviving Gurongi tried to escape quietly while everyone was arguing, but after only a few steps, two figures suddenly appeared and surrounded it.

These are the mass-produced ant soldiers that Lin Chen encountered before!

Two ant soldiers, armed with weapons, charged directly at the Gurongi without hesitation.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

In just a few moves, the already injured Gurongi was completely destroyed.

After dealing with the Gurongi, the two ant soldiers turned around simultaneously, their dark red compound eyes locking onto Onodera and Kaito Daiki, and charged straight at them with murderous intent.

Three knights faced off against two ant soldiers, and a chaotic battle was about to erupt.

But just then, a furious roar suddenly came from the entrance of the square!

The green figure rushed into the battlefield like lightning—it was Kamen Rider Gills!

Its eyes were bloodshot and its ferocity was overwhelming. Without the slightest hesitation, it launched a frenzied attack on the two ant soldiers, its claws slashing with extreme power.

The two ant soldiers were like fragile pieces of paper in front of Gills, completely powerless to fight back.

"Bang! Bang!"

With two loud bangs, Gills's claws easily tore through the ant soldiers' defenses, and two ant soldiers were instantly blown up, turning into light particles and disappearing without a trace.

After dealing with the ant soldiers, Gills's crimson eyes didn't stop for a moment. He immediately targeted Onodera Yusuke and Kaito Daiki, his violent aura growing stronger, clearly making them his next targets.

Yusuke Onodera immediately raised his gun in defense, his expression grave.

The atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.

Just then, the roar of a motorcycle came from afar.

Tsukasa Kadoya rode his motorcycle straight into the center of the plaza, executed a cool drift, and came to a steady stop between Gills and Onodera, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Onodera and Kaito Daiki both froze, staring in surprise at the sudden appearance of Kadoya Tsukasa.

"scholar!"

Hai Dongda frowned, his tone impatient: "Shi, this is none of your business, don't meddle!"

Tsukasa Kadoya, transformed into Decade, nonchalantly said, "I won't let you do whatever you want; I'll continue to get in your way."

As he spoke, he stepped in front of Gills.

Kaito Daiki looked at Kadoya Tsukasa and sighed helplessly.

The giant tree of the sea east directly controls Delta and Thunderfly, and begins to build up its power.

But at this crucial moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Gills, who had been standing behind Tsukasa Kadoya, suddenly extended his claws and grabbed Tsukasa Kadoya's Decade belt!

Gills ripped off Decade's belt, causing Tsukasa Kadoya's magenta armor to vanish instantly, deactivating his transformation and reverting him to human form. He stood there stunned, clearly not expecting Gills's sudden attack.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kaito Daiki's ultimate move was fully charged and couldn't be stopped!

Delta fired a purple drill, leaped into the air, gathered photon energy in his right leg, and blasted straight at Tsukasa Kadoya, who had deactivated his transformation and was completely unprepared!

"Sir! Danger!"

Yusuke Onodera shouted and, without hesitation, rushed toward Tsukasa Kadoya, trying to push him away.

In that life-or-death moment!

"boom--!!"

A roar like thunder exploded as a black motorcycle, like a wild beast out of control, suddenly rushed from the side of the square at extreme speed, heading straight for Delta in the air!

"Clang!"

With a loud crash, the motorcycle slammed into Delta, the violent impact sending Delta flying and the purple drill locked onto Tsukasa Kadoya instantly disintegrating!

Delta was instantly destroyed by the impact. At that moment, Onodera tackled Kadoya Tsukasa away.

Everyone looked over and saw the person on the motorcycle take off their helmet—it was Lin Chen! Although his agility was now quite high, how could he possibly outrun a motorcycle? Luckily, he had brought Delta's Jet Glide with him before going to the photo studio; Delta's belt had been stolen by Hai Dong earlier. After eliminating Kurosawa and Clover, he used the Earth Emperor phone, just to try it out, and entered the summoning command—it actually summoned the Jet Glide! A knight can't be without a vehicle, can he?

Onodera stood up and complained to Kaito Daiki, "Kaito-san! This is dangerous!"

Hai Dong Daiki put down the Diend gun and said perfunctorily, "Sorry, sorry, it wasn't intentional."

Tsukasa Kadoya stood up and immediately said that Kaito was talking nonsense.

As he spoke, his gaze shifted and landed on Ashikawa Shoichi in his Gills form: "Give me back the Decade Driver."

Gills's crimson beast eyes were fixed on Tsukasa Kadoya, his ferocious aura unabated, his claws slightly clenched, clearly showing no intention of returning the item.

But at this tense moment, a sudden change occurred.

Gills, who had been in a berserk state, suddenly shuddered. A roar filled with pain and extreme fear exploded from his throat, and he abruptly fell to his knees.

He suddenly looked up and roared at everyone, his voice hoarse and broken, filled with unprecedented urgency: "Get out! Get out of here right now—!!"

"That guy... he's coming!!"

Before the words were finished, a pale golden halo suddenly tore apart in mid-air above the stairwell of the residential building to the upper left of the square.

A halo swirled with a sacred yet cold light, and several figures slowly stepped out from within it.

The leader of the monsters was nearly two meters tall, covered in heavy dark gold armor. Its head was in the shape of a ferocious buffalo, with thick, curved horns that gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster. Its vertical pupils were cold and ruthless, and it exuded an aura of majesty that surpassed all other monsters. That was the Unknown, a supreme being that transcended the Gurongi, the Golden Bull Venerable.

Behind him stood a slender female ant soldier angel, completely different from the previous mass-produced gray-black ant soldiers. Her aura was refined, clearly indicating that she was a commander-level being.

Four mass-produced gray-black ant soldiers stood on either side.

Venerable Taurus spoke.

"Humans, do not become addicted to this power. A human can only be a human."

After speaking, he raised his thick arm, and a pale golden holy energy condensed in his palm. A huge cross-shaped magic circle appeared out of thin air, its light dazzling and carrying the pressure of purifying everything, and crashed down on the crowd in the center of the square!

The magic circle covered an extremely wide area, encompassing Tsukasa Kadoya, Onodera, Mitsu Natsumi, and Kaito, leaving them no way to escape!

Lin Chen was spared because he had parked his car far enough away that it fell outside the attack range of the magic array. However, his eyes turned cold, and he didn't hesitate at all.

Evolution points are one thing, but what the minotaur said really annoyed him.

As you pilot the jet glider, the hidden missile launchers mounted on both sides of the vehicle automatically unfold with a "click," revealing sixteen miniature photon missiles neatly arranged, their cold light gleaming.

"emission!"

Lin Chen pressed the attack button with his fingertip.

Sixteen missiles roared out, trailing pale blue flames, hurtling towards Venerable Taurus and the ant swarm. Mid-flight, each missile split into several smaller ones, creating a dense net of projectiles that slammed into Venerable Taurus's location!

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion erupted.

Flames shot into the sky, debris flew everywhere, and the entire building was instantly destroyed. Cement fragments fell like raindrops, and thick smoke billowed up, obscuring half the sky.

[Ding! Defeat 4 mass-produced ant soldier angels, gaining 4 evolution points.]

The system notification sounded in Lin Chen's mind right on time.

The thick smoke slowly dissipated.

Venerable Taurus remained firmly in place, his dark gold armor completely undamaged. The previous barrage of missiles hadn't even breached his defenses. The female ant-soldier angel beside him had only taken a slight step back, her breathing steady, showing no signs of injury.

Lin Chen took out the Earth Emperor's phone, preparing to transform and harvest the Golden Bull Venerable.

Surprisingly, Taurus did not retaliate.

He didn't even glance at Lin Chen again. The pale golden halo unfolded beneath his feet once more, enveloping both the Golden Bull Venerable and the female ant soldier angel.

The two figures vanished instantly within the halo, leaving no trace.

It turns out that Ashikaga Shoichi had already left without anyone knowing when.

Taurus Master, on the other hand, had a clear goal: to take Gills—Shoichi Ashikawa.

After exchanging a few words with Kaito and Onodera, Tsukasa Kadoya chased after the direction where Shoichi Ashikawa had disappeared.

Lin Chen thought that was enough for today, and prepared to go hunting in the jungle alone to see if he could run into a Gurongi. The arrival of Guang Xia Hai made him abandon that idea.

Underground parking lots in the city.

Lu Hexiang leaned against the front of a crane, sitting wearily on the cold ground.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the parking lot entrance.

Tsukasa Kadoya followed him in and immediately spotted Shoichi Ashikawa sitting on the ground.

Shoichi Ashikawa slowly looked at Tsukasa Kadoya, then slowly raised the driver in his hand: "You want this back?"

"Without it, you can't even transform. Get out of my sight and stop bothering me."

Tsukasa Kadoya remained defiant: "I told you, I would protect you."

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's words, Shoichi Ashikawa's aura suddenly erupted. Shoichi activated his light power, allowing Tsukasa to miraculously pass through wall after wall, then appear before him and throw a punch at his face.

"Bang—!"

Tsukasa Kadoya was knocked to the ground. He got up and tried to say something, but then he closed his eyes and passed out.

"scholar!!"

A gasp came from the parking lot entrance.

Hikari rushed in and saw Tsukasa Kadoya lying unconscious on the ground.

Lin Chen followed closely behind and quickly walked into the parking lot, just in time to witness this scene.

After knocking out Tsukasa Kadoya, Ashikaga Shoichi turned and left.

Lin Chen wanted to chase after him, but seeing Tsukasa Kadoya lying unconscious on the ground and Hikari Natsumi standing helplessly beside him, he had to give up the idea.
