As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

An endless sea, an empty beach, no doors, no roads, only a blurry wall in the distance.

This happened when Caesar and Delta summoned their vehicles.

Lin Chen's gaze fell upon that invisible, colorless, yet indestructible dimensional barrier. He suddenly recalled a scene from the Zi-O TV series—after Swartz stole Tsukasa Kadoya's power, he also liked to throw people into such enclosed worlds. And the way Zi-O broke through it back then was by using Kamen Rider Eternity's ultimate destructive power to forcibly shatter the world barrier.

"If he can do it, so can I."

Lin Chen gripped the Earth Emperor Sword tightly, his scarlet eye flashing with a resolute red light.

The Earth Emperor's belt operated at maximum power, its dark golden photon blood surging wildly, almost overflowing from the gaps in the armor. The air on the entire beach was sucked dry, the wind pressure distorted, and the waves stopped.

The Earth Emperor Sword was raised high above his head, and a giant golden blade of light condensed in mid-air, shining brightly and even illuminating the dimensional barrier.

"Smash it!!"

A single sword strike!

boom--!!!

The heavens and earth roared, and the dimensional barrier shattered in response.

A blinding white light engulfed his vision, and the feeling of being pulled apart by space returned. This time, Lin Chen did not resist, letting the force drag him back to his original dimension.

When I landed again, the sea breeze had disappeared, the beach had turned into a concrete road, and high-rise buildings were everywhere.

He is back.

Before he could even catch his breath, a violent explosion came from afar, shaking the ground slightly.

"There's a battle!"

Lin Chen's expression changed instantly. He immediately deactivated his transformation and summoned the Jet Glide. The engine roared to life as he flipped onto it, twisted the throttle to the floor, and sped off in the direction of the explosion.

He had only one thought in his mind—this battle must be the final showdown, and he had to make it in time!

That bull is a high-level Unknown monster, a cadre-level monster. Killing it would give at least 50 evolution points. If he missed it, he would regret it for a whole year.

It's all that bastard Narutaki's fault!

With the jet ski speed at full throttle, Lin Chen sped along, his heart pounding faster and faster.

When he rushed to the center of the battlefield, his face turned very pale.

The smoke of battle has gradually dissipated.

The ground was riddled with deep pits and cracks; the Golden Bull Venerable had vanished without a trace, not even a speck of ashes remained. Clearly, the battle was completely over.

There were three people standing in the middle of the field.

Tsukasa Kadoya leaned against the motorcycle, casually brushing the dust off his clothes, with the Decade Driver hanging loosely at his waist, clearly having finished his mission.

Yusuke Onodera was wearing the G3-X armor, except that his helmet had a large hole near his right eye.

Shoichi Ashikaga stood in the center, no longer clad in Gills's menacing green armor, but in a divine armor woven with silver and gold—Kamen Rider Agito, Earth Mode. He had finally gained complete control of the power of light, achieving perfect evolution.

The three stood facing each other, their breathing steady.

The boss is gone.

The evolution point has been lost.

Sitting in the jet ski, Lin Chen felt an inexplicable anger rising from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head, making his fingertips tremble with rage.

Narutaki!

It's all that bastard's fault!

If he hadn't been forcibly thrown into the dimensional rift to be surrounded and killed, how could he have missed this decisive battle? How could he have just watched Taurus Venerable, this big fat sheep, be slaughtered by others, without even getting a sip of soup for himself?

That's a cadre-level Unknown!

That's it!

Lin Chen took a deep breath, then inhaled again, barely suppressing the urge to smash the car.

Tsukasa Kadoya looked up and saw him, raised an eyebrow, and waved his hand with an smug look on his face: "Yo, what brings you here? It was quite a fight just now, too bad you missed it."

"..." Lin Chen stared at him without saying a word.

Yusuke Onodera noticed his expression and quickly smoothed things over: "Lin-kun, you arrived just in time the last few times, why are you so late this time? Unknown has been eliminated, and Gills has successfully evolved into Agito. It's all over."

Lin Chen closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he had forcibly suppressed the feeling of frustration deep inside.

What's missed is missed, getting angry won't help.

He jumped off the jet ski, casually folded up the vehicle, and his expression was still not good: "Nothing much, just got caught up in a little trouble."

Tsukasa Kadoya immediately saw through his secret, but didn't point it out. He simply whistled, "Now that everything's settled, let's go back to the photo studio. Natsumi's probably already prepared something delicious for us."

Yusuke Onodera paused for a moment, then looked at the two of them: "I still have some things to take care of."

He looked at Ashikawa Shoichi, who had already deactivated his transformation, and Ashikawa Shoichi understood what he meant. The two of them rode off together on the G3-X vehicle.

Seeing this, Tsukasa Kadoya tried to follow, asking, "Hey, do you want to come along?"

Lin Chen shook his head, turned, and walked towards the jet glider. He figured he should take this opportunity to hunt some more monsters. He hadn't gotten many evolution points from the Agito world this time.

Seeing Lin Chen shake his head, Kadoya Tsukasa ignored him and chased after the direction Onodera and the other two had left.

...

Onodera rode the standard G3-X motorcycle, with Ashikawa Shoichi sitting on the back, the wind ruffling their hair. When the motorcycle came to a smooth stop downstairs at the G3-X armored squad command center, he led Ashikawa Shoichi to the command room, where Yashiro Tōko was inside. Onodera turned to the side, revealing Ashikawa Shoichi behind him.

"I did it, I brought him back." Onodera said to Yashiro Tōko with a solemn tone.

Looking at Ashikaga Shoichi, Yashiro Toko covered her mouth and couldn't help but shed tears.

Yashiro then said to Onodera, "Thank you, Onodera."

Seeing Yashiro Tōko's smile after seeing Ashikaga Shōichi, Onodera prepared to leave. The older sister in this world already possessed her own precious treasure.

Tsukasa Kadoya leaned against a wall not far away, hands in his pockets, a gentle smile on his lips. He silently took out the camera from his chest, adjusted the angle, and gently pressed the shutter. A click—the camera captured Onodera's relieved smile and the warm farewell at the command center entrance, forever frozen in time on film. There was no battle of knights, no carnage of monsters; in this moment, there was only the ordinary yet precious warmth of humanity. This was the fulfillment of this world, and the gentlest scenery in Tsukasa Kadoya's lens.

As the sun set, its golden rays bathed the city streets, casting long shadows of the buildings. Lin Chen rode his jet ski home, the engine's roar gradually subsiding as he stopped in front of the Guangzhao Photo Studio. He dismounted, maneuvered the vehicle to a secluded spot, and rubbed his temples. Today's wilderness adventure had finally paid off.

After spending most of the day wandering the city, he hunted down two low-level Gurongi and cleared out six Ant Soldier Angels. His evolution points on the system panel finally increased from 4 before arriving in this world to 40. However, this gain was a drop in the ocean compared to his original expectation of reaching the cadre-level Unknown. Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but curse Minglong inwardly. If that guy hadn't suddenly ambushed him and thrown him into the dimensional rift, he would never have missed that generous wave of evolution points from Venerable Taurus. He would settle this score sooner or later.

Pushing open the door of the Hikari Photo Studio, warm light rushed in, dispelling the evening chill. Koei Jiro and Hikari Natsumi were gathered around the table, looking down at the photos Tsukasa Kadoya had just developed, discussing them quietly.

"Look at this picture, he's really matured a lot." Hikari Natsumi pointed to Onodera in the photo, her tone full of satisfaction.

Wearing his reading glasses, Koei Jiro carefully examined the photo, nodding with a smile: "Yes, after all this, the child has grown up."

Tsukasa Kadoya, sitting nearby, immediately straightened his back upon hearing their praise, a smug look on his face. He then narcissistically tossed his hair and said, "Of course, I can grow too...."

Before he could finish speaking, Kōeijirō ruthlessly exposed him: "We were saying that Onodera has matured, not that we were praising you."

Tsukasa Kadoya's smug expression froze instantly. His lips twitched, and he shut his mouth in an embarrassed manner, causing Natsumi Hikari to burst out laughing.

Lin Chen leaned against the door frame, looking at the heartwarming scene before him. His tense expression softened considerably, and he greeted her softly, "I'm back."

When Guang Xiahai looked up and saw him, she immediately smiled and waved, "Lin-kun, you're back."

Lin Chen responded with a smile, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the tea that had long since gone cold and took a sip, then sat down in a chair to rest.

Not long after he returned, the door to the building was pushed open again, and Onodera walked in carrying a simple canvas bag, a relaxed smile on his face.

"I'm back," Onodera said with a smile. "The older sister in this world has already found her own precious treasure, and it's time for me to continue on a new journey with everyone."

Everyone smiled happily upon hearing this. Hikari Natsumi clapped her hands excitedly, "Great! Onodera, welcome back!"

A small, pure white bat named Kiva-la flapped its wings and flew quickly to Onodera's shoulder, nuzzling his cheek affectionately, clearly delighted by his return.

Tsukasa Kadoya stood up, walked up to Onodera, and extended his hand: "Welcome back to the team."

Onodera smiled and raised his hand, giving Tsukasa Kadoya a big high five. The moment their palms touched, all the unspoken understanding and companionship were conveyed.

Just then, a faint glow suddenly appeared on the walls of the studio, and an old painting slowly descended, depicting an endless desert of time, with yellow sand stretching to the horizon. Immediately afterward, a clear and distant tram whistle, as if piercing through the barrier of time, came from the painting and echoed clearly in every corner of the Guangzhao Photo Studio.

In the scene, the outline of the tram gradually becomes clear, traversing the endless desert as if it were about to break through the barriers of time and space and speed towards them.
