Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

For the next while, Lin Nan became completely absorbed in the activity, constantly creating all sorts of targets: walls, spheres, bullets, obstacles he needed to dodge…

Practice straight punches, hook punches, side kicks, and other attacking moves in it.

With each practice session, the synchronization rate and compatibility will jump up a little bit.

Most importantly, he can gradually feel the pulse of the driver and the breathing of the dream capsule.

He even started experimenting with his ultimate techniques, simulating the path of that energy flow.

Imagine pressing a button, then gathering all your strength into your right leg, compressing, converging, and exploding!

boom!

The crimson dream space collapsed outwards from his right foot.

A deafening roar and a burst of light engulfed everything. Lin Nan's dreamlike body was thrown into the air by the force, shattering and then coalescing again.

When he came to his senses, he found that his originally materialized body had become illusory, like a wisp of smoke.

But the data in my eyes is jumping wildly.

[Mental synchronization rate 31%...39%]

[Dream compatibility 20%...24.6%]

It turns out that simulating special moves also greatly improves the synchronization rate.

However, the energy expenditure was equally terrifying. He could clearly sense that if his dream shattered again, he might be forced to wake up.

So he stopped the brutal training and turned to more subtle manipulation of power.

For example, the impact force can be concentrated at the fingertips or evenly distributed throughout the body to form a protective film.

In dreams, there is no concept of time, and Lin Nan grows at an astonishing rate.

Until a certain moment, ripples appeared in the crimson space, and Lin Nan sensed that he was about to wake up.

He took one last look at the data:

[Mental synchronization rate: 43%]

[Dreamscape compatibility: 29%]

It has far exceeded the safety threshold.

With a thought, Lin Nan consciously detached herself from the crimson space.

In reality, Lin Nan suddenly opened her eyes and jumped out of bed.

The setting sun casts its golden rays into the room.

He was drenched in sweat, his temples throbbing, as if he had just finished a marathon.

However, his mental state was abnormal; he was both clear-headed and excited.

This is the benefit of lucid dreaming: it has absolutely no physical burden.

[Mental synchronization rate: 28%]

[Dreamscape compatibility: 17%]

The values ​​dropped significantly compared to the dream world, but are still far higher than the 11% and 5% before falling asleep.

A significant portion of the enhancements made in the dream world were brought back to reality.

"This is definitely the right way to watch zzz!"

Lin Nan clenched his fists, and could clearly feel the difference in his body.

The power has increased, and more importantly, it has brought an unprecedented sense of clarity.

He could clearly sense everything happening in his body: the trajectory of muscle exertion, the rotation of joints...

I checked the time; there was still an hour until my appointment with Parker.

This amount of time is enough to verify his findings.

He needed a completely secluded location, so he remembered the abandoned factory area that Parker had mentioned last time.

It should be deserted on a weekend evening.

Lin Nan quickly changed into sportswear, put on a hood, stuffed everything necessary into her backpack, and went out.

Lin Nan arrived at the East Coast of the Queens area in about ten minutes.

This once glorious industrial area is now nothing but ruins, and the air is filled with the mixed smell of rust and sewage.

He passed through the collapsed wall and entered a relatively intact warehouse.

It's empty and spacious enough, and also secluded enough.

He tossed his backpack aside, stood up, and took a deep breath.

Mental synchronization rate and dream compatibility are slowly improving.

That's it!

Lin Nan stretched out his finger and pressed the button on the driver.

A sudden hum of electricity rang out, and the circuit patterns on the driver flowed like water, shimmering with a blue light.

He took a deep breath and slid the dream capsule quickly and resolutely.

"Good morning, rider!"

A male voice with electronic reverb suddenly burst from the drive, echoing through the empty warehouse.

At the same time, the circle in the center of the driver and the surrounding patterns lit up with a dazzling red light!

“Ze Ze Zezte!”

A brilliant light shone forth! Then it subsided, and crimson smoke billowed from the center of the driver, enveloping the entire device.

The smoke swirled and intertwined wildly, coalescing into the prototype of a bio-armor, with a pair of huge red compound eyes emerging from the smoke.

"Impact!"

As the final battle cry rang out, all the smoke dissipated, revealing a slightly ferocious full appearance.

Lin Nan clenched his fist, and a tremendous force erupted from it. It was as if every cell in his body had been injected with high-pressure gas, causing it to expand violently.

Bones and muscles emitted tiny popping sounds as they frantically tore, reassembled, and strengthened!

This is Kamen Rider ZZZ, the King of Physical Impact!

Looking down into the sewage, a dark black armored figure appeared in the reflection, with two metal rams jutting out into the sky.

Two enormous red compound eyes covered two-thirds of its face, exuding an aura of dominance! Its chest and abdomen were covered in green armor plates, and red light, like flowing blood, circulated along its sides, as if its power was on a highway, rapidly transmitting throughout its body.

Unlike the light armor of previous Kamen Riders, its streamlined design is born for violence!

Chapter 6: Another Confession

In the empty, abandoned factory, Lin Nan practiced and familiarized himself with his power until it exceeded his body's limits. With a thought, he deactivated the transformation.

As the light faded, Lin Nan returned to his original appearance, dressed in black sportswear, standing amidst the ruins.

I felt only one emotion throughout my body: excitement.

This was the first time he transformed into Kamen Rider ZZ in reality. Although it didn't last long, he did gain his first power.

Meanwhile, in faraway Manhattan, on the top floor of the Stark Tower.

Tony Stark, dressed in a sharp suit, is holding a glass of red wine and overlooking the entire city of New York.

A virtual projection behind them showed a gold and red armored suit.

The veins on his neck were bluish-black, and he looked somewhat anxious.

A refined British accent rang out, tinged with a slightly mechanical, synthesized voice: "Sir, there are unusual energy fluctuations in New York City tonight that may be of some help to your current situation."

"Unusual? Worth keeping an eye on, Jarvis."

……

At 7 p.m., Lin Nan arrived at Peter Parker's house as promised.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May were still busy in the kitchen. Parker and Lin Nan greeted each other and sneaked upstairs like thieves.

As soon as they entered the room, Peter's face immediately showed excitement and nervousness: "Lin, there's a place I want to take you."

He walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and pointed to the faint outline of an abandoned building on the edge of Queens.

"The old Fisker cannery has been abandoned for many years. I went to check it out last night. It's very spacious inside, and importantly, almost no one goes there."

Lin Nan immediately understood Peter's meaning: he needed an ideal, secret training ground.

Then it occurred to him that the Marvel world was too dangerous, and perhaps he really should have a teammate.

The sixteen-year-old high school student in front of me is the ideal teammate.

The key is that Spider-Man's loyalty, kindness, and sense of justice have never been questioned.

So he nodded and asked, "Peter, do you want that place to become our training base?"

"Us?" Peter was taken aback, then realized what he meant, and his mouth dropped open: "Lin...you...you really do have one too..."

"Let's eat first. Tomorrow is Sunday, we'll meet there."

Peter suppressed his excitement and nodded emphatically.

Lin Nan was wondering how to explain the source of his power. Was it technology or mutation? He himself didn't know.

This is indeed a problem. If it can't be explained clearly, just let it go. The kind and brave Spider-Man will definitely understand!

After enjoying a cozy dinner at Peter Parker's house, Lin Nan returned to her apartment and immediately began training in her dream, just as she had done before.

Time flew by, and on the afternoon of the second day, Lin Nan arrived at the old Fisker cannery half an hour early.

This old cannery sits on the edge of Queens, near an industrial wasteland. The red brick walls are crumbling and peeling, most of the windows are broken, and the tall chimneys, like giant tombstones, stand silently.

Lin Nan carefully observed the surroundings to make sure there were no signs of homeless people, then climbed up a nearby dilapidated water tower and carefully observed the entire factory area with binoculars.
