The open riverbed, covered with gravel, stretches endlessly into the distance. The gray-brown pebbles are sharply defined and densely cover the ground, interspersed with a few strands of withered yellow grass swept by the wind, trembling slightly in the cool breeze.

On both sides are steep, earthen-yellow cliffs, with rock layers of varying depths exposed.

The sudden scene change did not disturb the two who were engaged in fierce battle. The fight between Decade and Den-O continued unabated, with the muffled thuds of colliding fists and the crisp ringing of metal clashing echoing through the air.

Lin Chen stood quietly to the side, his dark golden Earth Emperor Armor slowly dissipating, restoring him to his human form. Beside him stood a wooden stake, a clock embedded at its top, its hands ticking, completely out of place with the intense atmosphere of battle.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly watching the two locked in combat. His mental energy subtly expanded, observing their fighting techniques—both were incredibly skilled, and compared to them, he had relied on sheer numerical superiority from the start. Although he had secretly trained his combat skills, he had never truly integrated them into actual combat.

The fierce battle intensified, with both fighters fighting with all their might, their eyes burning with fighting spirit. They no longer held back, simultaneously channeling all their power to prepare to unleash their ultimate killing moves.

"Final Attack Ride! DD-Decade!"

"Extreme Slash!"

Two high-pitched electronic sounds rang out simultaneously. Tsukasa Kadoya leaped into the air, crimson energy coiling around his body and transforming into a fierce knight kick. Den-O raised his weapon, golden photon energy condensing into a massive slash. The two terrifying energy attacks collided with a deafening roar, blinding white light instantly engulfing the entire riverbank. A deafening explosion erupted, the shockwave sweeping around, scattering gravel everywhere, and turning withered yellow grass into ashes in an instant.

As the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, two figures crashed heavily onto the rubble. Their armor slowly dissipated, revealing Tsukasa Kadoya and Natsumi Hikari, both slightly out of breath.

Lin Chen suddenly realized why he hadn't seen Guang Xia Hai. It turned out she had been possessed by the four idiots of the train and transformed into the Electric King to participate in the battle.

Just then, a deep and distinctive hum of a tram came from the horizon, growing louder as it approached. The three of them looked up at the sky in unison, and there, a colorful vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. The vortex was shimmering with light, as if it had torn apart the barrier of space and time. A sleek tram sped down from the vortex, its wheels rolling through the void, carrying the unique aura of space-time fluctuations, and came to a steady stop at the edge of the riverbank.

Meanwhile, Momotaros was locked in a fierce battle with Kaito Daiki. Kaito, wielding the Diend Gun, continuously summoned Knight Cards to restrain Momotaros, while Momotaros, relying on his brute strength, charged around wildly with his attacks. The two were locked in a close and evenly matched fight.

...

The doors of the time train slowly opened, and a pretty girl in a uniform poked her head out, smiling and speaking in a clear, melodious voice: "Welcome!"

Lin Chen, Tsukasa Kadoya, and Hikari Natsumi exchanged a glance and stepped onto the train. The carriage was a lively scene. Three different Imagin were playfully fighting around a little girl. They were three of the Train's Four Idiots—Urataros, Kintaros, and Ryutaros. The three of them were arguing and pushing each other, making a ruckus in the carriage. The little girl stood on a seat, looking like she was giving orders.

Seeing the three get into the car, Purtalos immediately stopped his playful antics, gracefully walked forward while fanning himself, and gave Hikari Natsumi a slight bow: "Isn't this Miss Natsumi? It's a pleasure to see you again, and this unfamiliar friend as well."

Kintaros waved his hand in a deep voice, while Lontaros, holding his skateboard, looked at Lin Chen with curiosity and his eyes were full of inquiry.

"This...this is the Time Train?" Hikari Natsumi exclaimed in surprise, looking around the carriage. She had heard Tsukasa Kadoya mention time-traveling trains before, and seeing it with her own eyes now was incredibly amazing.

Just then, the hatch at the rear of the carriage opened again, and a cloud of white smoke billowed out. The conductor of the time train slowly emerged from the smoke. He was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, wearing a crisp navy blue train conductor's uniform with gold trim, a neat tie around his white shirt collar, and clean white gloves. His voice was hoarse but steady: "That's right, this is the time train that travels through different times and worlds."

The conductor gestured, and a waiter immediately brought over several warm drinks and placed them in front of Lin Chen and his companions. Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the steaming but strangely shaped drinks. Even though he had already become a tiger-type Orphnoch, he still had little appetite for such things.

"No need, I'm not thirsty," Lin Chen gently waved his hand, politely declining.

Tsukasa Kadoya and Natsumi Hikari accepted the drinks but didn't drink them. Tsukasa even pushed his cup towards Natsumi. For the next while, everyone sat together, chattering about the events leading up to them. Yennefer—the little girl—slowly explained the mission of the Time Train and the crisis facing the Imagin.

To everyone's surprise, the Guangzhao Photo Studio, for some unknown reason, unexpectedly became affiliated with the Time Train. Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes flashed with astonishment, finding the whole thing extremely bizarre.

Yena told everyone that recently an evil alien god has been causing trouble, disrupting the order of space and time, and has developed many of those mole alien gods.

Hikari Natsumi indicated that she knew that the otherworldly being was the same one that had possessed the police officer before.

"We used to have a companion with a keen sense of smell; only he could accurately pinpoint the location of that evil demon god, but we got separated some time ago," Ye Nai said with a touch of melancholy.

After comparing the information, Tsukasa Kadoya was certain that it was the will-o'-the-wisp that first possessed him—that is, Momotaros.

The group decided to find Momotaros first.

Tsukasa Kadoya remarked that those kinds of idiots were the easiest to find. He volunteered to lead the way.

Everyone agreed and immediately got out of the car, following Tsukasa Kadoya. Before long, they found Momotaros, who was carefully cleaning the wound on his arm, his movements gentle and clumsy, a stark contrast to his usual rude and irritable demeanor.

Lin Chen watched this scene with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected that this otherworldly god, who was usually only good at shouting and killing and had a fiery temper, would have such a thoughtful side. It completely overturned his understanding of Momotaros.

Just then, Lin Chen sensed an unusual aura and turned around. It was the same otherworldly demon that had possessed the police officer earlier!

Almost at the same moment Lin Chen noticed, Momotaros also abruptly raised its head, sniffed hard, and instantly bristled: "Damn it! It's that guy's scent!"

Just as Yena had said, Momotaros's sense of smell was incredibly sensitive to the aura of the Otherworldly Gods. Even if the other party tried to hide it, it could not escape his perception.

The evil demon god clearly realized it had been exposed. Its expression changed drastically, and without daring to linger, it turned and ran, disappearing into a nearby shopping mall building in a few steps.

A primary school student on a bicycle slowly rode over from the corner of the mall. He looked no different from any other child, with an innocent smile on his face.

Lin Chen's mental power instantly locked onto the elementary school student—he clearly sensed that the alien demon god was hidden inside the child's body.

Without the slightest hesitation, he moved swiftly and appeared in front of the elementary school student, grabbing him by the back of the neck and lifting him up along with his bicycle.

"Who are you people! Let me go!" The elementary school student was suddenly attacked and screamed in fright. He punched and kicked with his hands and feet and struggled incessantly. His little face turned red and he looked extremely aggrieved. An uninformed person would have thought that Lin Chen was bullying the child.

The surrounding customers turned their heads and cast strange glances, and whispers arose.

Seeing this, Tsukasa Kadoya was full of confusion. Just as he was about to question Lin Chen about why he suddenly attacked a child, Momotaros rushed over first, sniffed the elementary school student hard, and his face turned ashen instantly.

"That's it! It's this guy's smell!" Momotaros roared, snatching the elementary school student from Lin Chen's arms and gripping his collar tightly. He yelled viciously, "You damned Otherworldly God, get out of this child's body right now!"

The elementary school students are still struggling.

Knowing it could no longer hide, the Otherworldly God ceased its concealment. Fine sand began to emerge from the elementary school student's body, and the Otherworldly God's form became fully revealed.

Upon seeing this, Momotaros immediately transformed into his Electric Sword form, raising his greatsword high, ready to slash at the Otherworldly God: "Finally caught you! Watch me take care of you!"

Unexpectedly, the Otherworldly being reacted extremely quickly, kicking out and striking the Thunder King squarely in the chest. Catching off guard, Momotaros was sent flying, his body hurtling backward and crashing into Lin Chen, who was standing nearby. Lin Chen had no time to dodge and was knocked back several steps by the Thunder King's body.

"Are you alright?" Tsukasa Kadoya stepped forward, helped Momotaros up, and stared at the Imagin with a serious expression.

The Otherworldly God sneered and waved his hand. Suddenly, a group of mole-like Otherworldly God minions appeared, surrounding Lin Chen, Tsukasa Kadoya, and Den-O. The mole minions bared their teeth and brandished their claws, ready to attack at any moment.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold, and he prepared to transform. But before he could press the transformation command, Momotaros could no longer contain himself. With a roar, he charged towards the mole minions with his greatsword, his moves fierce and wide-ranging.

Seeing this, a hint of urgency flashed in Lin Chen's eyes—he couldn't let Momotaros take all his evolution points!

Without further hesitation, he quickly flicked the buttons, switched to 106-round burst mode, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

Dense bursts of photon energy rained down, precisely hitting the three mole minions in the front row. The energy explosions were deafening, and the three minions were instantly reduced to ashes before they could even scream.

[Ding! Defeat 3 mass-produced monsters (Mole Demon God), gain 3 evolution points!]

The system notification sounded in his mind, and Lin Chen was overjoyed. He was about to continue his attack when he saw that Momotaros's combat efficiency was amazing. With the swing of his greatsword, golden light flashed, and the remaining mole minions were no match for him. They were all killed in no time.

In just a few seconds, the surrounding thugs were completely wiped out.

At this moment, Tsukasa Kadoya also completed his transformation, his entire body covered in magenta Decade armor. Holding the Card Box Sword, he stood side by side with Lin Chen and Den-O, and the three of them turned their gazes to the leader, the Imagin.

Seeing his subordinates wiped out, the leader of the Otherworldly Gods changed his expression drastically. Knowing that he was no match for the three of them, he dared not linger and turned around and leaped directly into the past timeline, his figure disappearing into thin air in an instant.

"Oh no! He escaped to the past!" The King of Electricity frantically scratched his head and searched his entire body. "The ticket!"

Just as Den-O was extremely anxious, Tsukasa Kadoya calmly took out the train ticket he had obtained earlier. The ticket clearly showed the date and time of the Imagin's escape, and it shimmered with light.

The hum of the time train sounded again, and a colorful vortex of time and space appeared in the center of the mall. The train then drove out of the vortex.

"Get on the bus!"

A blinding flash of light, and the three figures disappeared into the mall, speeding towards the past time that the Otherworldly God had fled to.
