As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

Back at the Hikari Photo Studio, Koei Jiro saw the unconscious Tsukasa Kadoya and quickly took out a first-aid kit to treat his wounds. After a simple cleaning and bandaging, Lin Chen gently placed Tsukasa Kadoya on the sofa and turned to Hikari Natsumi, saying, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

"Lin-kun, be careful..." Hikari Natsumi replied while taking care of the unconscious Kadoya Tsukasa.

Lin Chen pushed open the door and walked out of the photo studio. It was still early, and the city was still bustling. In the past two days, he had only killed a total of 8 mass-produced Angel Ant Soldiers, which only gave him 8 evolution points.

Lin Chen raised his hand and rubbed his temples, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He had thought that coming to Agito, a world with both Grongi and angels, would allow him to amass a large number of evolution points, but he hadn't expected the Grongi to be so elusive, and the Unknown to be so unpredictable and even hunt down Grongi. After two days, he had gained very little, which was truly frustrating.

He walked slowly along the street, his senses quietly expanding as he detected the energy fluctuations around him. Soon, two faint yet familiar auras entered his perception range—Angel Ant Soldiers!

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately quickened his pace, heading towards the overpass from which the aura was coming from. The overpass was sparsely populated in the night, and the streetlights on both sides emitted a dim yellow light. Two gray-black figures were perched on the railing, seemingly observing something; they were the mass-produced Angel Ant Soldiers.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chen pulled out his Earth Emperor phone from his pocket, rapidly dialing the buttons to switch to 106mm burst mode. Dark golden energy condensed at the muzzle of the phone gun. He raised his hand to aim, giving the two ant soldiers no chance to react.

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

Dense energy beams rained down like a storm, accurately striking two ant soldiers. Before they could even scream, their bodies exploded in the violent photon energy, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

[Ding! Defeat 2 mass-produced ant soldier angels, gaining 2 evolution points.]

A system notification sounded, and Lin Chen put away his Earth Emperor phone, looking at the empty overpass with a faint smile. Although it only gave him 2 evolution points, it was better than nothing. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a cold yet familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lin Chen, why did you betray us? Why did you help Decade?"

Lin Chen paused, then slowly turned around. At the other end of the overpass, a figure stood silently, a light brown fisherman's hat pulled low, eyes behind black-rimmed glasses sharp as knives, radiating a gloomy and oppressive aura—it was Narutaki!

He actually tracked him down to this world!

A flicker of wariness crossed Lin Chen's eyes, but he showed no fear. A slight smirk played on his lips as he retorted, "Why should I listen to you?"

From the beginning of Smart Brain Academy, Kurosawa used him, Narutaki saw him as a pawn, and everyone wanted to control his fate. Why? He was no longer the wild Orphnoch trapped in the academy and manipulated by others. Holding the Earth Emperor's belt, he possessed the power to crush everything. He no longer needed to be at anyone's mercy.

Minglong was speechless for a moment after being rebuked. After a moment of silence, he softened his tone and said with a hint of coaxing, "Let's make a deal, Lin Chen."

"Oh?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, showing some interest. "What kind of deal?"

"Let me tell you a secret—you won't live much longer." Narutaki's voice was low and sinister. "The Orphnochs are a short-lived race. From the moment you awakened, you were destined to perish in the sand. Even if you possess great power now, you cannot escape this fate."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle. Lifespan? He had already extended his lifespan to 59 years using the evolution system, far exceeding that of ordinary Orphnochs, and even surpassing many humans. For Minglong to try and threaten him with this was utterly ridiculous.

"So what?" he said calmly, showing no sign of being threatened.

Narutaki was clearly taken aback by this reaction. He paused for a moment, then dropped a bombshell: "I can help you extend your lifespan and even completely escape the fate of the Orphnochs! As long as you stop Decade's journey and stop him from destroying various worlds, with our technology, it will be a piece of cake for you to live a peaceful life."

Extending one's lifespan and escaping the Orphnoch fate... this condition is indeed tempting. If it were Lin Chen, who had just awakened the power of the Orphnoch and was bound by the shackles of lifespan, he might have been tempted. But now, he has the evolution system and the Earth Emperor's Belt. Lifespan is no longer a threat, and he would never go against the protagonist of the Knight World for this condition.

"It's very tempting, but I refused."

Lin Chen's answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. The moment he finished speaking, he raised his Earth Emperor Phone, dark golden energy instantly condensing within him, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger towards Minglong!

"In that case, let's say goodbye to this world!"

Narutaki was prepared. He snorted coldly and swung his right hand sharply. A pale blue dimensional wall instantly unfolded in front of him, acting as a solid barrier that blocked all the energy projectiles. The projectiles struck the dimensional wall, exploding into a shower of sparks, but failed to harm Narutaki in the slightest.

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened, and he was preparing to transform into his Earth Emperor form to launch a powerful attack, but Minglong was faster than him. He grabbed fiercely with his right hand in the direction of Lin Chen, and a huge dimensional wall appeared out of thin air, like a vortex that devoured everything, directly enveloping Lin Chen!

"not good!"

Lin Chen's expression changed, and he immediately mobilized all his strength, retreating rapidly. However, the dimensional wall was too fast and its range too wide; he was ultimately a step too slow, and half of his body was instantly enveloped by the dimensional wall.

A powerful spatial pulling force swept over him, and a dizzying, vertigo sensation engulfed his entire body. In a short instant, the surrounding scenery completely changed—the bustling city and overpass disappeared, replaced by an endless beach, a clear blue sky, and waves crashing against the sand with a resounding crash.

Lin Chen staggered to his feet, looked at the unfamiliar beach in front of him, and his face instantly darkened.

Damn it! Narutaki tricked me!

He was forcibly teleported to an unfamiliar place by the dimensional barrier! He was too careless; knowing that Narutaki possessed the power of the dimensional barrier, he didn't transform to defend himself immediately, which led to his current predicament. Had he become arrogant after obtaining the Earth Emperor's Belt and enjoying smooth sailing all the way?

Lin Chen's face was gloomy, his heart filled with frustration. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and began to look around. He was on a deserted beach, the sea breeze carrying a salty, damp scent. In the distance, the sea met the sky, and no city could be seen in the distance.

Damn it, how can I get back? Am I just going to be stuck here and wait to die?

Just as Lin Chen was concentrating on sensing spatial fluctuations and trying to find traces of the dimensional barrier, a strong sense of danger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart!

Danger!

Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and his body reacted before his mind could process it, lunging forward and rolling several meters on the ground.

"call out!"

A pale blue energy beam grazed his back, struck the beach, and blasted a small crater.

Lin Chen quickly stood up, turned around to look at the source of the attack, and his eyes instantly became serious.

On the beach not far away, a knight in black armor with yellow stripes stood silently. His armor had sharp lines, and his compound eyes gleamed coldly. It was Kamen Rider Kaixa! And beside him was Kamen Rider Delta!

The two men held guns, their muzzles fixed on Lin Chen, exuding undisguised killing intent!

It was Narutaki's doing! He not only teleported me here, but also summoned other knights to hunt me down!

Meanwhile, inside the Guangzhao Photo Studio.

Tsukasa Kadoya slowly opened his eyes, the wound on his forehead still throbbing, and the desperate words of Shoichi Ashikawa echoed in his mind. He sat up abruptly and saw Hikari Natsumi standing beside him. Without saying a word, he got up and rushed outside.

"Shi! You're awake! Where are you going? Your injuries haven't healed yet!" Hikari Natsumi quickly grabbed him.

"Go find Ashikawa Shoichi!" Kadoya Tsukasa said.

"Why do you insist on protecting him?" Seeing Tsukasa Kadoya still wanting to protect Shoichi Ashikawa, Hikari Natsumi was very puzzled. Tsukasa Kadoya did not answer, but took out a letter that had been torn in half. The sender was Yashiro Tōko—Onodera's older sister in this world.

Meanwhile, Kaito finally obtained his goal for coming to this world: the G4 chip that Yashiro Touko had researched, capable of connecting to the human brain. However, Onodera disagreed with Kaito's actions; he didn't want to see Yashiro Touko in this world heartbroken, and demanded that Kaito return the G4 chip.

The atmosphere between the two was tense. Haidong pointed a gun at Onodera's head, and Onodera prepared to transform into Kuuga. Just then, a gunshot rang out, deflecting Haidong's weapon. In the distance, Yashiro Ran held a gun. Haidong said it was dangerous as he turned and left.

However, Onodera would not let Kaito leave easily and directly moved forward to entangle Kaito.

During the struggle, the G4 chip fell to the ground. Hai Dong tried to pick it up, but was shot and destroyed by Yadai Taozi. He could only leave, feeling disappointed.

Looking at the damaged G4 chip, Onodera apologized to Yashiro Tōko. Yashiro Tōko gently comforted Onodera, saying it was alright, the G4 chip was originally developed to protect even more precious treasures.

Meanwhile, Ashikawa Shoichi was on the run. The Unknown's pursuit never stopped, and he was like a stray dog, forced to hide everywhere.

The Taurus appeared and immediately raised his scepter to unleash an attack.

"Danger!"

The sound came and immediately afterward, Ashikaga Shoichi was knocked to the ground, his original spot struck by Taurus Venerable's attack.

Ashikawa Shoichi asked Kadoya Tsukasa why he was protecting him so desperately.

"If you die, Yashiro will be heartbroken," Tsukasa Kadoya replied.

Meanwhile, Onodera, pushing his motorcycle, seemed lost in thought when he encountered Hikari Natsumi in front of the Metropolitan Police Department. Hikari Natsumi begged Onodera to rescue Tsukasa Kadoya, explaining that he was currently in danger because he lacked his transformation ability.

Onodera couldn't understand what Kadoya Tsukasa was thinking, why he was so desperate to protect that monster-like guy.

Mitsuka Mitsuka said, "He's not a monster, his name is Ashikawa Shoichi."

"Shoichi Ashikawa?" Onodera wondered, wondering who this name belonged to.

"Shoichi Ashikawa was the first person to wear the G3-X armor." Hikari Natsumi said as she handed the letter, which had been torn in two, to Onodera.

After reading the letter, Onodera understood that Ashikaga Shoichi was the more precious treasure that Yashiro Touko had mentioned before.

So he went straight to the G3-X armor fitting room. Seeing that Yashiro Tōko was still working there, he didn't say anything and simply took off the G3-X helmet.

Yashiro Taoko said after seeing Onodera's actions.

"Onodera, there has been no order to deploy."

"I'll bring him back," Onodera said. "Huh?" Yashiro Tōko asked, puzzled.

"The real tester of G3-X." Onodera turned to look at Yashiro Toko, his eyes filled with determination.
