My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

When Kiana heard the words "no collapse reaction detected," she suddenly felt a slight dizziness, and then she saw fragmented images.

The experimental chamber emitted a faint green light, a man dressed in armor somewhat like that of a bat, and occasionally, images of corpses would flash by.

Kiana covered her head, looking somewhat confused. What were these images all about?

Just then, Raiden Mei suddenly appeared in front of Kiana and cleaved a Striker in two with a single strike. Seeing Kiana's distraction, Mei asked worriedly:

"What happened? You seem a bit off."

Kiana, who had calmed down a bit after hearing her words, shook her head. The scene Kiana had just seen was actually presented to her by Xia Qing through her ability.

It won't be long before it's my turn to appear and sign the wish contract with Kiana.

While Kiana was still pondering what had just happened, the Reincarnators' defenses were already on the verge of collapse.

Seeing the newbie Kiana still standing there in a daze, she remembered a title she had heard before and quickly shouted, "Kiana, quickly use your unstoppable genius form to think of a way!"

Kiana was puzzled by this: "Genius? What genius?"

"It's not so bad if we don't have one. At least we don't have to bear the pressure of having an unstoppable person as a teammate."

The pharmacist also casually remarked at that moment.

Chapter 97: Kiana: I treated you like my father-in-law, but you treated me like your brother?

"Damn it, this can't go on. It's too crowded here. Many of those monsters have area-of-effect attacks, and it won't be long before someone gets hurt by mistake."

Kiana glanced at Mei and the others, then charged straight at the Striker.

Kiana!

Upon seeing this, Mei immediately understood Kiana's purpose: she wanted to lure the Striker away.

Mei tried to stop her, but it was too late. Kiana stepped on the Slammer's head and quickly jumped towards the exit. This scene inexplicably reminded Xia Qing of Super Mario.

Well, it's about time. It's time to introduce the next identity I've prepared.

The illusion created by the power of combination is somewhat similar to a virtual streamer avatar. It only needs to be created and recorded once, and theoretically the model can be used indefinitely.

During use, you only need to continuously input the power of combination. Using illusions doesn't actually require much mental effort to adjust at any time.

After rushing out of St. Freya Academy for a while, Kiana looked around at her surroundings and started panting heavily.

It looks like there's no one around. Damn it, why are these monsters attacking me?

Just as Kiana was exhausted, she suddenly saw a man with blue-purple hair approaching her.

"How pathetic, Kiana. A hero of justice shouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Xia Qing spoke in a tone that seemed very familiar with Kiana, and as she finished speaking, she took out a full bottle and prepared to transform.

The belt transformation requires a physical body. What I'm using now is actually Diavolo's body, but the appearance is just disguised by using a template created by the power of combination.

WAKE UP

CROSS—Z DRAGON!

(Awakening, the Dragon of the End!)

Hearing the sound in her ears, Xia Qing turned the joystick on the driver, and the sound effects continued to play.

Are you ready?

Xia Qing calmly said, "Transform."

"WAKE UP BURNING!"

GET CROSS—Z DRAGON!

(Awaken and burn, obtain the power to end the dragon!)

As the final note of "Yay!" rang out, Xia Qing completed her transformation.

Seeing the Slammer gradually closing in, Xia Qing turned the joystick again, and Dragon's Termination wiped out the pursuing Slammer with a wide-range attack.

"Evolto's doing...?"

Xia Qing spoke as if recalling something, and Kiana, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Who exactly are you?"

Kiana felt a sense of familiarity with the person in front of her, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Turning to look at the exhausted Kiana, Xia Qing replied, "It seems you really have amnesia, Kiana."

"In that case, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Raiden Ryoma, I'm the president of ME Company, and also Kamen Rider CROSS-Z, your best friend."

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately remembered why she always felt that the face in front of her was somewhat familiar. Wasn't he Mei's father?

Looking at the lightning dragon Makiana who claims to be my best friend, I really want to say something: Why don't you just stop being my best friend and become my father-in-law instead?

"The barrier array has been fully deployed, and ranged attackers should not be able to get close to this area for a short time."

After a futuristic cube was placed on the ground, the blue cube instantly shattered and disappeared.

"Kiana, since you've forgotten, let's pretend it's all in the past. Your school life awaits you."

Oh, by the way, Mei here should be at the same school as you, right? Remember to take good care of her for me.

Xia Qing, disguised as the Thunder Dragon Horse, said this, and Kiana, after a moment of silence, said:

"Escape is not the way to solve things. Although I have amnesia now, there is no reason why I can't do what I could do before."

"Mr. Ryoma, please tell me what happened before I lost my memory?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing revealed a complicated expression: "It seems that even with amnesia, you're still the same as before."

Are you sure you want to know the truth, even if that truth plunges you back into the darkness beneath the surface of beauty?

In response to Xia Qing's words, Kiana replied in a resolute tone:

"From the moment I lured the attacker away, I was prepared. What I could do before, I can do now. What happened in the past?"

Faced with this, Kiana Xia Qing pretended to be somewhat helpless and said, "Since you have asked so sincerely, I will tell you some of the things you know right now."

You once traveled through time to a parallel world where three major powers were in conflict.

In that parallel world, you, a genius physicist, use the power of the Full Bottle to become Kamen Rider Build, a hero of justice in the eyes of the people.

As a hero, you engage in battle after battle against Faust's experimental subjects and official members.

In the final battle, you transform into your genius form and, with the help of several companions, engage in a final showdown with Evolto in space.

The outcome of that battle is unknown, but you and Evolto both disappeared after that battle.

"It was because I received your information that I guessed Evolto might target you, which is why I rushed here..."

Xia Qing slowly recounted the story of an upright hero, but what about the demon scientist, Sirin?

Regarding that identity, Xia Qing has guessed a little about the setting of Thunder Dragon Horse, but is not yet very certain.

After all, according to the storyline he created, Raiden Ryoma is going to play the role of "Stop talking" in the future.

Kiana was extremely excited after hearing these words, never expecting that she had such a legendary experience before losing her memory.

The righteous hero Kamen Rider Build, the genius physicist Kiana Kaslana, thinking about all those titles, Kiana felt she could brag about them with Himeko and the others.

However, after a few minutes, Kiana, having calmed down, felt the responsibility behind these titles.

Looking at Kiana who had calmed down, Xia Qing continued:

"Now I need to get back to work on the next operation regarding Evolto. Before you find out who it is, you should reconsider whether you want to take on that responsibility again."

Also, there's no need to be so formal and call me Mr. Ryoma. Just call me Brother Raiden or Ryoma directly, as we always do.

After saying that, Xia Qing left the scene. Recalling Xia Qing's words, Kiana said that she would never call him that.

I treated you like my father-in-law, but you treated me like your sister?

Chapter 98: Darkseid and his men have done as many good deeds as they've eaten loaves of bread.

"I never imagined that Mr. Raiden Ryoma had once fought alongside me."

Kiana had just made a remark when she saw Xia Qing, who had already left, running up to her.

"The Slammer's target signifies that Evolto has its eye on you. For your safety, you'd better take this."

After speaking, Xia Qing handed a wooden box to Kiana. Kiana's pupils contracted instantly upon opening the box, and she almost drew her gun on the spot.

Inside the box was a perfect human right hand, like a work of art. Kiana looked at Xia Qing with a puzzled expression.

"Geniuses often have some quirks. This prosthetic hand is actually an expensive communicator, made by a guy named Yoshikage Kira."

This hand signal is stable and can also open space channels to transport certain things.

So, quite a few people used it in the world you once lived in, and the instruction manual is right here under your hand.

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she quickly thought of another problem:

"Mr. Ryoma, I feel like I've seen this kind of hand before. Do you know anything about the Passion organization?"

Hearing Kiana's question, Xia Qing felt a bit overwhelmed and had no choice but to start making things up on the spot: "I don't know much about Passion, except for its main combat unit, the Stand User..."

Kiana seemed preoccupied after hearing Xia Qing's explanation, something Xia Qing had anticipated.

After all, in his own words, doing things with enthusiasm tended to be a gray area, and he did not avoid using all sorts of underhanded methods.

After giving Kiana his hand, providing a plausible explanation for the appearance of the Driver, Xia Qing left the scene once again.

"Ahhh, I was so focused on acting back then that I forgot about that incident."

As Xia Qing slipped away, she casually complained to the system, while simultaneously using her mental powers to sense the current location of the snowfield.

"Oh no, this is like a lightning strike at the opening ceremony."

As the perspective shifted to the snowfield, Xia Qing spoke with a somewhat complicated tone.

At this moment, Xueyuan is standing on the high platform, delivering a speech on the value of life to his compatriots below who have just been endowed with wisdom, in a highly infectious tone.

The accompaniment of an unbreakable vow resounded all around, and Xia Qing was at a loss for words regarding this Honkai Beast civilization that had gone completely astray.

After quietly watching Xueyuan's speech, Xia Qing had to admit that the speech of this Honkai Beast leader, who had survived since the Second Honkai Impact, was indeed very inspiring. Xia Qing felt quite excited listening to it.

After watching Xue Yuan finish his speech, Xia Qing spoke up and said, "I've discovered some bad news."

Xueyuan wasn't too surprised to hear the voice that suddenly came from beside her. Xia Qing had already explained that this was a power she had acquired after her death.
