Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

Transforming his sword into a gun, Nian Zhuo closely followed Kiva's darting figure and pulled the trigger.

The two individuals, the only two in the entire arena with the ability to fly, began a chase, spinning and maneuvering in the air.

The situation on the ground was equally dire. The howling werewolves, their sabers wielded with incredible agility, moved with unparalleled speed, while the purple-clad warriors swung their giant hammers, each strike creating a massive crater in the ground.

The emerald-green half-fishman continued to adjust his position, his emerald-green gun aimed at Nian Zhuo in mid-air.

Not long after the start, Nero's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

If Emperor Nero hadn't been constantly chasing the werewolves, no one could say how many more lives his dark blue saber would have taken.

"Ugh...!" Meanwhile, Ritsuka and Mash were engaged in a power battle with the Iron Arm Warriors.

The shield clattered under the opponent's hammer blows, but showed no sign of retreating.

With Ritsuka's guidance, Mash's combat experience and abilities are constantly improving.

Moreover, this pure clash of strength makes it seem as if Mash has gained the upper hand.

"...Although it's heavy, it's nothing compared to Romulus's attack!" After blocking the Strong-Armed Warrior's attack with her shield again, Mash forcefully pushed the shield towards the Strong-Armed Warrior.

Sparks flew as the hammer struck the shield, but the heavy body of the Mighty Warrior was knocked backward by Mash's attack.

"Boom—" It crashed to the ground, and all the weapons fell to the side.

"Mash, a good opportunity!" Ritsuka shouted, while Mash raised her shield and smashed it into the chest of the Another Warrior.

"Thump—" A solid collision sound, and the monster's cry of pain reached Mash and Ritsuka's ears.

The attack was successful.

But it was far from over. Mash then lifted the shield diagonally upwards, the corner striking the warrior's jaw and 'pulling' it up from the ground.

"Ah—!" Then, Mash forcefully moved the shield behind her, gripped it tightly with both hands, and slammed it heavily into the abdomen of the Iron-Brace Warrior.

The heavy, purple body was sent flying backward, crashing into the palace wall and creating a large crater.

"Huff... Huff, it worked! Master!" Just as Mash was about to report to Ritsuka behind her, she looked up and saw a green bullet flying toward her face.

Because she was so focused on the battle, Mash even forgot about the emerald green half-fish man and the gun in its hand.

She quickly dodged to the side, and the green bullet grazed her forehead, tearing off a few strands of her purple hair.

It wasn't over yet. Just as she regained her footing, Mashu saw the green energy blast released by the monster again.

He quickly raised his shield to defend himself, and bullets rained down on it.

"Calm down, Mash! This is the second enemy!" Ritsuka's voice gave Mash some confidence.

"Yes! Understood. Ranged enemy detected. Please give the order, Master!" Mash raised her shield, trying to close the distance between herself and the half-fish creature—Another Bashar.

At this moment, in mid-air, Nian Zhuo and the alien knight Kiva had been chasing each other for no less than twelve rounds.

Neither of them could gain the upper hand, but in terms of their condition, Nianzhuo seemed to be in a worse state.

This is too troublesome," Nian Zhuo thought to himself as he sped up and pulled the trigger again, while the dragon on his head spewed out black and red fireballs to assist in the attack.

However, it was as if Another Knight Kiva had eyes in the back of his head; he knew where Nian Zhuo's attack came from without even turning around.

"This guy... could he also be using ultrasound to locate himself?" Muttering to himself, Nianzhuo suddenly remembered the explanation of bats in his junior high school biology textbook.

Before he could think it through, the alien knight Kiva in front of him suddenly flung a string of tiny, blood-red bats behind him without even looking.

"Damn it...! It definitely used this positioning!" Kiva, the Another Rider, stopped acting and released tiny bats that flew precisely towards Nianzhuo.

Due to inertia, there was no time to dodge, and Nianzhuo could only protect his head as he crashed into a swarm of tiny bats.

A piercing explosion, accompanied by a blinding crimson light, engulfed Nian Zhuo.

Trinity

A huge explosion roared from mid-air.

"Ugh... Hah." Lying in the crater on the ground, Nian Zhuo's armor was covered in charred black. "I feel like I've been getting thrashed too often lately..." His whole body was throbbing with a heart-like pain.

"Yay, yay, I didn't expect to actually hit you." Kiva, the Otherworldly Knight, calmly stepped onto the ground after folding his wings.

"So, can this battle be considered a victory for me?" With a clenched fist, a long, slender beam of purple light emerged from the large crater on the other side.

The purple hammer was held in the hand of the alien Kiva.

"The purple reaction among the four highest-valued reactions has disappeared!" Dr. Roman quickly told Mash, who was locked in combat with the alien Bashar. "At the same time, the value of the red, strongest reaction has increased again! Be careful."

"It's not over yet. The outcome of this battle is either you or me." Brushing the rubble off his body, Nian Zhuo put the Ex-Aid watch back into his pocket.

"Well, it's been so long. It's time to stretch your muscles!" An orange-yellow watch face appeared in Nian Zhuo's other hand.

“Next, it’s my turn to shine!” Nian Zhuo placed the watch face on the driver at his waist and flipped it over with practiced ease.

A zipper appeared in mid-air.

A huge orange flew out from the world inside the zipper.

Then it slammed heavily onto Nianzhuo's head.

"Hiss..." Feeling the immense pressure on his head, Nian Zhuo seemed to understand why Kouta was so 'comical': "If you have to carry this on your head every time—it's hard not to lower your IQ."

The orange split open, forming an orange-yellow armor that adhered to Nian Zhuo's body.

"Then—" With a clap of his hands, Nian Zhuo gripped the two large orange pills tightly. "I'm here!"

"So what if it's just two swords?" Kiva, the alien, sneered, gripped the long hammer handle with both hands, spread his wings, and flew towards Nianzhuo.

"Well, after all, I'm not the only one..." Nianzhuo raised his twin swords to block Kiva's attack as the purple hammer came hurtling towards him.

The pure contest of strength begins anew here.

In just a moment, the ground beneath Nianzhuo's feet began to sink.

"Ugh...uh..." Nian Zhuo, his face hidden behind the mask, was covered in sweat, realizing he was at a disadvantage. "I actually...lost to it in a contest of physical strength!"

Having fused with the strength of the alien warrior, Kiva's physical strength had already surpassed Nencho's by a significant margin. Coupled with the heavy blows from above, and judging from the fact that Nencho was constantly forced to move his blade downwards, defeat was only a matter of time.

--If it's one-on-one.

"Hmm...?" Using ultrasonic detection, the alien Kiva suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.

It spread its wings and soared up in an instant, then the bright red blade, still burning with flames, slashed past where it had just been.

"Tch, so you noticed." After saying that, Nero threw out the small round shield in his hand, which was dodged by Kiva like a boomerang and returned to Nero's hand.

"Hmm...?" The alien Kiva stared intently at the woman who had ambushed him. "Shouldn't you be—"

“I shouldn’t have targeted you, right?” Nero interrupted Kiva, pointing in the direction he had flown from. “Sorry, I injured your servant ‘dog.’ I’ll have to rely on my reliable army.”

Although the dark blue werewolf monster relied on its extremely high agility to constantly move across the battlefield, Nero also grew stronger with each battle against it.

In the end, Nero and Another Garurumon engaged in a one-on-one duel. The saber and the flaming greatsword clashed and separated repeatedly. The two fought at extremely high speeds, but judging from the werewolf monster kneeling on the ground with flames burning on its chest, it seemed that Nero would ultimately emerge victorious.

"Goo...Gah?!" On the other side of the battle, Bashar kept pulling the trigger, green bullets constantly attacking Mash with the giant shield.

If Mash hadn't fought Romulus before, she probably would have lost.

However, after experiencing such a powerful attack, Mash's abilities continued to improve and optimize. She also developed corresponding countermeasures against enemies capable of ranged attacks.

"What a bunch of bastards...!" He gritted his teeth. Although he could suppress Nian Zhuo, he was also being restricted by him.

Another Garurumon, who has already been defeated; Another Pasha, who is gradually gaining the upper hand under Mash; and Another Bracers, who has already merged with Mash.

Apart from that, there were no other combatants available to him on the field.

"Damn it... Damn it, ahhhhhh!" A distorted voice accompanied Another Kiva's furious roar. His body's tissues swelled up like diseased cells, and his tail split into two. Another Kiva howled and stabbed at Pasha and Garuru.

"...!" Garuru, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly twisted into a ball and was pulled over by Kiva without any resistance.

"Gah--!" However, Bashar seemed to know what was going to happen and put up some resistance, but Kiva's outstretched tail still hit it accurately and pulled it to Kiva's side.

"The following content is not suitable for children." Kiva grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and the crimson light in his eyes gradually replaced the gold.

Its wings suddenly spread open, swallowing up the figures of Kiva, Garuru, and Bashar.

The sounds of chewing, gnawing, and Bashar's screams all emanated from the central sphere enveloped in bat wings.

"...We can't let you get away with this!" Realizing that everyone was too frightened to understand the situation, Nianzhu threw out the two large orange pills.

"Sizzle—" Da Cheng Wan's sword blade struck Kiva's snow-white wing membrane, and the monster inside, which was constantly chewing, continued to swell.

Suddenly, the monster raised its head, and through its snow-white membrane, everyone could almost see its sharp teeth with a few streaks of blood.

“…Oh no!” Nian Zhuo felt a chill run down his spine after realizing what the monster Kiva was doing.

It seems that the chewing sound inside the sphere started just now.

—It seems to have stopped.

Another Kiva Degabaki Form

Now, everyone's attention is focused on the sphere in the center.

It wriggles, and scarlet lines appear on the white wing membrane, then disappear.

It continued to swell, and a bloody, pungent smell emanated from the gaps between its wings.

Then, the wings covering the alien Kiva suddenly opened, and the blood-red mist instantly swallowed everyone around them.

"Then I will personally shatter your insignificant pride." The crimson mist obscured everyone's vision, but the twisted voice of the alien Kiva was unforgettable.

Their vision suddenly cleared again. The blood-red mist had completely dissipated, and the alien Kiva was still sitting on the throne, just as they had seen it the first time.

However, the figures of the three monsters standing beside it disappeared, telling everyone that they had not returned to the past.

Similarly, Kiva, the Otherworldly being, also underwent a tremendous change.

The blood-red bat wings on its back have evolved into three pairs. The dark blue tissue on its left hand must be from Another Garurumon, while the emerald green tissue on its right hand must be from Another Pascal. The huge armor on its chest with slash marks is from Another Degar.

Without seeking the consent of the other three monsters, Kiva forcibly devoured them, reaching the Degabaki form.

"Hmm... The taste of power is always intoxicating, no matter when." With a wave of his hand, several azure military knives descended from the sky, falling straight towards Nian Zhuo's surroundings.

"Get out of the way!" He quickly pushed Nero and Mash aside, and the two large orange pills that Nian Zhuo had thrown out somehow returned to his hands.

The sound of a sword blade piercing the ground rang out simultaneously with the sound of metal clashing.

He slashed down the flying blue military knife, and then the sound of air being cut made Nian Zhuo's brows furrow again.
