The same hand knife that cut through the time in front of him from bottom to top made the unprepared Duster stagger backwards.

"impossible!"

What on earth can actually break Oma Zi-O's power and even fight back against me?

He reacted immediately and saw that the other end of the other party's belt was no longer hanging with Zi-O's dial, but another equally golden dial!

"[OhmaZi-0 (Oma Zi-O)!]"

"You think I didn't notice your intentions?"

I deliberately want you to bring out your strongest power!

"You only took away the power of the Kamen Riders, the real power that belongs to them."

"Now I'll show you!"

After pressing the center button, he turned the Drive and the King of Time again. In that same light, Ash shouted out the line again.

"Henshin!"

"[King Time! Kamen Rider Zi-0! Ohma!]"

16

Chapter 16 His name is Toki-oh Meets the Demon!

The golden protective suit turned into the strongest battle suit.

The silver strap formed a shimmering shawl.

When the dial symbolizing another possibility of the King of Time really fell on his forehead, the King of Time was completely born!

"[King Time! Kamen Rider Zi-0! Ohma!]"

The raised left hand caught the incoming right fist, and the right hand thrust straight into the opponent's left palm!

"This is the [Oma Zi-0 Driving Dial]!"

Clearly sensing this completely consistent power within himself, a gleam of anger suddenly appeared on the black and red eyepiece of Oma Zi-O's watch.

"Even if his power was taken away, he should... Why would Sougo lend you this dial?!"

"You're a clone who copied your own personality and memories, so of course you know that Sougo would never lend this dial to someone as dangerous as Ash. It's truly too dangerous."

But on Ash's silver-gold watch, a warm smile could be seen.

"Of course, if he's still the same Ash as before."

"What? Your words are full of loopholes and there is absolutely no—"

"What's wrong? Don't you have a friend you're willing to trust wholeheartedly? Oh, I forgot. Even if we share the same memories, they're actually my friends and have nothing to do with you."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!!"

As if the words had hit him so hard, the cloak on his back stood up with a roar, burning into a red deeper than blood and spreading outward!

"Anxious?"

However, Ash had no intention of letting him act recklessly alone. With a shudder, Zi-O Oma expanded a huge golden clock formation from behind him. The two hands behind him also began to stand upright and rotate, allowing the golden light to spread outward!

The darkest demon king "Oma Zi-O" and the strongest king of gold "Zi-O Oma"! When these two beings who possess the strongest power of time and space and all knights collide with each other, this power has been fully released in a terrifying scene!

"Celebrate!"

Woz, who had pretended to surrender to Daxter early in the morning, couldn't help but jump out of the crowd regardless of the danger. He preached without fear in the situation where the two kings were fighting.

"By passing on the power of burning friendship, the ultimate king who knows all times, past and future! Now, he once again stands at the top of the new world!"

"His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O Oma, and now he will punish the false king-thief and regain the glory of the true king!"

"Shut up too!"

Duster, who only thought it was harsh and noisy, could not listen to this. The light emitted from his other hand was about to erase his past and future!

"Okay, Woz! I love it. Louder!"

However, after that, the light from Ash's hand changed the time that was about to be rewritten back in an instant.

"Humph!"

The two piercing gazes met again. It was obvious that if they couldn't deal with the person on the other side, no matter what they did, it would be useless!

Visible time fluctuations continuously emanated from the juxtaposed palms, accelerating the flow of time! Slowing it down! Pausing it, skipping it, destroying it! Like two mirror-like brothers, perfectly aligned forces collided, canceled it out, and destroyed it between their tiny palms! Until finally, a complete explosion reaching its limit pushed both of them backwards!

"Humph!"

If the winner can't be determined based on time, then it will be a simple test of strength!

In perfect sync, the two simultaneously unleashed their destructive power of the Odemon, tinting the area between them in a spherical dusk-hue. This marked the beginning of a duel based on sheer strength! It was like placing the two's powers in a cage: Dust's strength was that of a tiger, Ash's that of a dragon. Within this sphere of dusk, less than half a meter in diameter, a true battle between dragons and tigers unfolded.

"That's stupid, Ash!"

I relied on the settings at the time of my creation to plunder the Knights with the full power of "Oma + All Knights"! I might have a chance in other areas through combat, but if it's just a matter of pure strength, Hua! The total power I possess even exceeds that of Oma Zi-O in 2068. There's no way you can defeat me!

"Give up, Ash. If we talk about pure strength, you can't be that powerful—Gu!"

Just as he was about to laugh at the other party's folly for daring to challenge him in his area of ​​expertise, Dust suddenly felt something was wrong. His Tiger had indeed temporarily suppressed the other party with its initial fierce attacks, but just as he was trying to seize this opportunity to further expand his advantage, he felt that the more he fought, the more he felt weak.

The dragon was clearly about to be bitten by him, but he seemed to ignore the consumption and became more and more courageous in the fight, even showing a faint tendency to surpass him! This was extremely unreasonable in a battle based on pure strength. Where did he get the power from out of thin air to continuously lose to me?

It wasn't the stimulation of the Agur Stone, it wasn't the evolution of the power of light, it wasn't the increase in fusion points, nor was it the increase in danger level—what exactly was this power that continued to be given to him?!

"!"

Finally! In another collision of forces, Ash's "Dragon" kicked away Dust's "Tiger"! As he stumbled back, the dragon's power, surging forth, grabbed the opponent with its claws, hoisted him onto his shoulders, and slammed him to the ground!

"puff!"

The consequences of being at a disadvantage soon became apparent. When the gradually uncontrollable power turned into a bomb directed at himself, it could even blow Oma Zi-O away!

"Your power, apart from the cheats He gave you, is just the strongest power you've stolen. But no matter how strong it is, it will never be your own."

"And my power."

Ash quietly took out the black watch that had been hidden in his palm.

"[Cure Knight]"

"[A miracle born from everyone's prayers, a Precure that transforms everyone's thoughts into strength to fight is—a Knight Angel!]"

"It's not just my power!"

When this Pretty Cure dial was inserted into the other side of the Space-Time Drive, the power of friendship from friends still fighting in the distance, the power of love from those praying for him from nowhere, and even the voices of the people who continued to support him after being rescued! Their voices all turned into power and continued to flow into Ash's body!

"This is the power a man who has truly experienced everything will gain!"

No matter how strong you become, this power will always be above you!

17

Chapter 17: What can’t Ash change?

"This is!"

You simply copied my memory and skills, but you don't have the "heart" that can only be obtained through personal experience!

"The power a man who has truly experienced everything will gain!"

He summoned the "Strongest Time Limit Sword" from his hand again, and the blade of the greatsword, shining with silver and gold light, drew a graceful arc and pointed directly at the other knight who was half-kneeling on the ground.

The power difference between Oma Zi-O and Zi-O Oma is actually quite similar. Of course, if we consider the age difference, Dust's Oma, who has more experience, is undoubtedly more powerful in terms of total power! Furthermore, considering the home and away game balance, the two's similar combat abilities and skills should give him the advantage.

However, Ash now is like the protagonist in a novel. Whenever the critical moment comes, he can unleash all kinds of friendship and justice energy without reason or will to achieve a leapfrog surge.

So, after hearing Ash's words, the jealousy and resentment pointed out by Light and the others gradually turned into an even stronger flame, just like a bonfire that was constantly being stoked with firewood!

"Are you saying this is the real Ash after his transformation... He really is, quite remarkable!"

Ash, seemingly elated but actually ever on guard, became even more vigilant. If he could constantly borrow strength from others through his Knight Angel abilities, then Dust before him seemed to have been freed of some kind of restriction and was also beginning to grow stronger.

“How, how could this happen!?”

The monsters who were about to hunt down the fleeing citizens were horrified to find that their resurrected bodies began to melt into mud, just like when they died in the past...

"No, that sir!!"

We, we can still——

"Dark Echoes."

Seeing the black air being absorbed by the other party, Ash, who was very familiar with it, silently recited the name of the true body in his heart.

The reason why the people in this city are so "empty" is that the dark echoes have been completely extracted. Now, if these echoes are transformed into energy again and transferred into their own bodies, it will naturally not be difficult for Dust, who has the authority.

"Hmm..."

The changes that were about to emerge from his body after pouring too much power into it with great effort and force were about to show through. Dust twisted his bulging muscles and made a sound like popping beans.

"Don't think you're the only one with extra powers."

This way of utilizing the Dark Echo is the same thing you taught us when you gave us three surprises before.

"..."

On one side is a raised greatsword, and on the other side are two separated swords.

After it was clear that the special power could not harm the opponent's body, the next battle was——

"Yeah!"

It's just a battle with real swords and guns to see who is stronger!

The sounds of weapons, fists, and feet clashing resounded throughout the city. The aftermath, especially the ripples that washed over the buildings, threatened to rekindle the fear that had been suppressed so hard.

"Come on...Knight!"

However, among the crowd who supported each other and prayed for the victory of Kamen Rider, there was still a girl standing without any fear in her eyes.

"Ash."

Simply because there are other feelings already occupying her heart.

After noticing that the monsters that needed to be vigilant seemed to have their souls sucked away and were flying towards the place where the battle broke out, the girl seemed to have made up her mind, and she clenched the smile ornament in her hand and began to run towards that place.

I won't let you fight alone, I won't let you fight alone again!

"Wait for me, Ash! Wait for me!"

"Hello!"

After another fierce collision, the three swords of the same origin finally flew out of their hands, twirling and piercing the ground to the side. Without hesitation, the two men immediately took up the attack! Ash's straight punch was pushed away by his right hand, and Dust's palm was blocked by his left wrist.

Dust turned the blade into a palm, grabbed Ash's wrist with his backhand, used the force to twist his waist and threw Ash to the ground. A dull sound came from behind him, and Ash did not give in at all and kicked Dust in the chest.

What a fierce battle! Looking back, it seemed like every battle with him was so evenly matched. It was a shame to think this was a life-and-death battle where I had to kill him.

"Pity."

The two sides held each other's hands and began to wrestle with their feet, Ash shook his head reluctantly.

"You're not really enough of a hero."

The irony is, although I don't want to claim to be knowledgeable, I am indeed becoming more and more like a real hero as they say.

"Really? I don't think so."

Except when his lungs were punctured, Dust lacked Ash's fierce passion in battle, and was instead cold and somewhat scary.

"Ours, my actions reshaped the world, and that can also be called saving the world. Isn't that heroic enough?"

Depending on the perspective, a hero can be a hero or not.

"Ha~ I've never heard of a hero who became famous by massacring a city."

"I can destroy them, or I can save them."

After breaking free from each other, Dust clenched his palms and swung a powerful knight punch from the side! "Besides, everything is like the flowing water of a mountain, it will not stop until it runs out!"

"Then the way you feel about yourself!"

In response to his opponent's action, Yaxiu responded with a full-throated Knight Turn Kick! "Did you do well?"

The burst of waves forced the two to tumble and fly backwards again, and they had to distance themselves from each other again!
