As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

Chapter 90 The Angel Descends

Two days have passed since Kurosaki Ryuichi was defeated and retreated from the G3 base.

G3 base has also raised its combat readiness level, with all personnel on 24-hour alert and all defensive barriers activated.

Lin Chen has barely slept a wink these past two days, constantly on patrol.

He never withdrew his senses for a moment, and the entire area within a radius of several hundred meters centered on himself was covered by the perception barrier.

He could sense any superpowered individuals on the verge of losing control along the way and resolve the situation before they began to mutate.

Taking advantage of a rare moment of free time, Lin Chen calmed his mind and, with a thought, directly summoned the system in his consciousness.

I'm one step closer to reaching 100 points in all attributes in human form. I wonder if any new abilities will surprise me this time.

Just as I put the system panel away, a series of heavy footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by the soft clanging of metal.

He looked over and saw Hikawa Makoto, holding a helmet and wearing the complete G3-X armor, walking towards him step by step.

The silver-gray armor surface was covered with a thin layer of dust, and there were some unknown stains on the edges, which were obviously traces of long-term wear.

"Aren't you tired of wearing it all the time?" Lin Chen asked first.

Hikawa Makoto stopped in his tracks, his voice firm: "These are chaotic times. Unknown attacks could occur at any moment outside the base. Any negligence could lead to disaster."

He paused, then added, "Wearing the armor at all times allows me to respond immediately to any unexpected situation. Also, the weight of the armor is perfect for weight training, which will help me get used to it better."

Lin Chen looked at him quietly, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

In that brief silence, the communicators on their waists suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and Ozawa Sumiko's voice came through: "Lin Chen, Hikawa Makoto, head to the training room immediately."

Lin Chen and Bingchuan Cheng didn't dare to delay and immediately set off towards the training room.

Pushing open the training room door, the two were immediately drawn to the figure in the center of the room—a newly modified armored vehicle stood quietly there, its blue metallic shell gleaming coldly, its overall outline not much different from the G3-X that Hikawa Makoto was wearing at the moment.

"This is the upgraded G3, officially named G3-II." Sumiko Ozawa stood beside the armor, her fingertips gently tracing the chest plate, her tone full of confidence in her work. "Compared to G3-X and the old G3, its defense, firepower, and mobility have all been comprehensively enhanced. In particular, the neural connection system has been optimized, resulting in a significant reduction in latency. The wearer's movements can be transmitted to the armor more smoothly, making it easier to control."

After saying that, she turned around, her gaze falling on Hojo Toru standing to the side, and her tone became solemn: "Hojo, from today onwards, you are the uniformed officer of G3-II."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Toru raised an eyebrow slightly, his face remaining expressionless, even retaining his usual coldness, but a subtle, almost imperceptible seriousness flickered deep within his eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and initiated the dressing process.

The next second, the clicking sound of machinery filled the training room. The armor components of the G3-II seemed to come alive, rapidly disassembling and covering the body from the shoulder and chest plates down the limbs. Each metal plate precisely matched and tightly fastened, firmly encasing Hojo Toru's body. A moment later, the helmet slowly fell down.

After completing his attire, Hojo raised his hand, turned, and stepped forward with fluid and natural movements. His beam rifle was steady from the moment he raised his hand, his joints exerted force with precision, showing no signs of a novice's awkwardness.

"The compatibility is surprisingly high?" Ozawa couldn't help but exclaim. Hojo Toru snorted, with his usual arrogance. "I'm no worse than Hikawa."

Lin Chen and Bingchuan also noticed it. Hojo's physical attributes and combat instincts were already top-notch. Coupled with the G3 upgrade, his combat power was directly maximized.

"Perfect timing," Ozawa said. "Hikari, you and Hojo will spar to test your combat skills."

"Understood!" the two replied in unison. Lin Chen, Xiao Ze, and the other technicians then turned and left the training room to observe from the outside.

The training room doors closed, and the battle began instantly.

Glacier controls the G3-X with a steady and methodical approach, combining offense and defense. Its beam shooting is precise, and its close-quarters combat is solid, typical of a veteran's fighting style.

Hojo, on the other hand, is more ruthless and cunning. He maximizes the mobility of the G3 Kai, using it for flanking maneuvers, surprise attacks, and precision strikes.

The two exchanged blows, their beams of light clashing, accompanied by the constant clanging of metal.

After thirty rounds, the fight was still even. Hikawa had the advantage in explosive power and defense, while Hojo had the advantage in agility and precision.

The two armored vehicles were evenly matched and fought a fierce and evenly contested battle.

The technicians who were watching were overjoyed. "Great! The base has gained another core combat force!"

Sumiko Ozawa stared at the armored vehicles on the field, her gaze wandering, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the New Human Alliance in Ginza is expanding rapidly.

The radical leader, Juro Kamiya, has secretly seized nine survivor settlements in the past two days. He has a fiery temper, but he's not a mindless killer. He only kills the rebel leaders, taking the remaining survivors back to Ginza.

Population, resources, and labor were all taken into their possession.

The moderate New Heng garrison, on the other hand, took a conciliatory approach. They went door-to-door negotiating with each household, bringing food and medicine, promising shelter and distributing supplies.

Without losing a single soldier, they subjugated five settlements. In just two days, the alliance's power surged, and Kurosaki Ryuichi reaped the benefits.

He didn't interfere in the conflict between the two factions; he only focused on reaping the benefits.

The stronger the alliance, the more chips he has.

No one expected that Juro Kamiya would run into a brick wall this time. When he led his troops to attack a settlement by the river, they encountered fierce resistance.

Most of the survivors here escaped from the Alliance. They suffered oppression from the radicals, harbor deep hatred for the Alliance, and would rather die than surrender. Even more troublesome is the fact that a top-tier hypnotist is hiding here.

Kamiya had just led his men to the entrance of the settlement, but had not yet given the order to attack.

Two trusted confidants suddenly turned around, their blades aimed straight at his chest! Kamiya was shocked and quickly dodged to the side, but a bloody gash was still cut into his shoulder.

"Who?!"

Kamiya roared, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

The young man in the corner coldly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with hatred. He was the one who had initiated the hypnosis. This ability user could control two or three people at once, with an extremely short cooldown, making it virtually impossible to defend against.

If Kamiya hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been stabbed through the heart.

"You're asking for it!" He originally intended to kill the two men outright, but then he noticed that their eyes were glazed over, clearly indicating that they were being controlled. So he subdued them.

Kamiya Juro was furious, his aura surging. He had almost been tricked and killed.

He scanned the room but did not find his target, so he spoke directly.

"All troops, attack! Crush them!"

The radical superpowered individuals launched an immediate attack. Flames, rocks, and energy beams rained down relentlessly.

The survivors fought back desperately, using firearms and superpowers to retaliate.

The two sides instantly clashed, with screams and explosions filling the air.

Just as the battle reached its most intense moment, patches of pale golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.

They were densely packed, covering the entire airspace.

Everyone involved in the battle instinctively looked up.

The next second, the halo shone brightly.

One by one, the ant-shaped Unknown creatures crashed to the ground. Leading them was the female Ant Queen, clad in dark gold scales and wielding an ant-clawed battle blade.

Her icy gaze swept across the entire area without the slightest hesitation. She swung her battle blade, unleashing a sharp, piercing roar.

Dozens of ants, Unknown, rushed towards everyone in batches.

Regardless of alliances or survivors.

Meanwhile, at the G3 base...

The group in the training room had just finished packing up and were preparing to return to the control room.

suddenly!

A sharp red alarm instantly shattered the silence of the base.

"!!! Unknown energy reaction! Global alert!!"

Takahiro Omuro, who was in the control room, screamed and immediately broadcast the news over the loudspeaker.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they rushed towards the control room.

On the radar screen in the main control room, the scene made everyone gasp.

Hundreds of red, unknown signals, like poisonous spots.

Everywhere in Tokyo!

Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku, the suburbs —

All of them!

The Unknown, which had been silent for a whole month, hadn't disappeared at all. Instead, it was brewing a comprehensive purge!

Lin Chen's heart sank heavily.

The worst-case scenario has come true. The power of darkness has finally made its move, and it's already showing signs of world-ending destruction.

Sumiko Ozawa's face was pale, but she remained rational.

She stared intently at the radar, her fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard.

The next second, her body suddenly stiffened.

"not good!"

"Dozens of unknown signals are rapidly approaching the base!"

On the radar, red signals stretched out like a tide, rushing straight towards the G3 base.

The thousands of civilians in the base are still in shelters.

If this is breached, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sumiko Ozawa pressed the global broadcast button.

"Attention all personnel! Activate maximum alert status at base!"

"Energy barrier fully charged!"

"All automatic defense weapons unlocked! Missile pods, beam cannons, and heavy machine guns are ready!"

"Medical team in position! Shelter sealed off, all personnel silent!"

The cold, impersonal commands echoed throughout every corner of the base.

The red warning lights were flashing wildly, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Lin Chen! Hikawa! Hojo!"

Sumiko Ozawa gave the order sternly.

"Immediately proceed to the base's main gate and repel the first wave of attacks from the Unknown!"

"Hold the entrance at all costs! We absolutely cannot let them breach the barrier!"

"Understood!" the three answered in unison.
