Kamen Rider ZZZ from the American comic book world

"Phew... That must have taken a lot of toll. How did your girlfriend manage?" Leon asked, panting heavily.

“Although Nancy’s physical abilities are not as good as yours, she has the talent for clear dreams,” Li Ai said, spreading her hands.

“Alright.” Leon looked at Li Ai, pressed his hand to the Lord’s Summoning Device on his chest, and asked, “Since her codename is Lord Six, what kind of enhanced suit should I use?”

The Turbo Capsule was modified by Li Ai using the second thruster capsule, designed to better suit Leon's personal situation, and therefore cannot be ordered according to the numbering in the original Kamen Rider ZZZ series.

"Just pick one from one to five," Li Ai said casually.

"Alright, I'll pick one then, Lord Number One, it sounds really strong."

Leon stretched his body, rotated his shoulders twice, and did a few squats to get used to the power brought by the enhanced suit.

Seeing this scene, Li Ai also took out an impact capsule and said with a smile:

"Dad, sparring is the fastest way to adapt to your strength."

【Impact!】

As the mechanical sound faded, Li Ai transformed into his impact form. With a wave of his right hand, the extra equipment disappeared without a trace, leaving the entire training area empty except for a bench in the corner for people to rest.

Ada turned and walked lightly to the bench. She sat down, crossed her legs, and glanced at the two people facing off in the center of the room. She spoke calmly, offering a reminder:

"Gentlemen, don't go too far."

"Is this meant for you?" Leon said, looking at Li Ai with a clear understanding of his own limitations.

"Watch out, I'm about to make my move."

Li Ai gave a prompt, and with a stomp of his foot, he stirred up the airflow in the training area, turning it into a gust of wind that swept towards Lyon, and his fist swung out like an arrow.

Leon crossed his arms to block, took a few steps back to steady himself, and shook his slightly numb arms. While thinking of a way to deal with the situation, he said:

"Being your opponent is no different from experiencing a horror movie firsthand."

"Don't worry, I haven't used my full strength yet," Li Ai said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of scorching flames suddenly erupted from the gaps in the red armor on Leon's limbs, and a brute force abruptly surged into his body.

With his power surging, Leon let out a low shout and finally forced Li Ai back half a step. He then pressed forward and launched a series of impenetrable attacks.

bang bang bang-

The sounds of fists and feet clashing were incessant, as if a box of grenades were being detonated one after another on the field.

“I think I’ve figured out how to use this thing.” Leon’s eyes lit up. He seized an opening and attacked Li Ai’s right waist with a fierce high kick.

Using the whirlwind created by the kick, Li Ai nimbly slid backward to dodge, maintaining a standard boxing stance, his breathing steady, and he casually explained:

"The Turbo is a purely offensive capsule with no other effects. It can compress the user's physical strength and the surrounding air to unleash greater power."

“It’s the same principle as turbocharging technology in cars.” Lyon replied, his right fist already wrapped in a dazzling red light, and he slammed it out with unstoppable momentum.

“That’s right.” Li Ai replied while dodging and weaving around the field.

Lyon leaped into the air, his fist flying like a wild horse, grazing past Li Ai's figure before slamming into the ground.

Boom—

With a loud bang, the ground, as hard as steel, shattered, and dust spread outwards, obscuring the two figures.

Ada frowned slightly and subconsciously stood up, but as soon as the thought crossed her mind, the thick smoke and dust were instantly dispelled by an invisible force, revealing a deep pit in the center of the field.

"After activating the white-haired state, one can gain about twenty to thirty tons of strength. Adding the ten tons of strength from the Lord System, as well as the boost provided by the Turbo Capsule, it's already a qualitative leap."

Standing at the edge of the pit, Li Ai snapped her fingers lightly, and the ground instantly repaired itself, becoming as smooth as before.

Seeing this, Leon, who had begun to get used to the turbo capsule, prepared to launch another attack. He raised his hand and turned the capsule on his chest, his eyes blazing as he said:

"Let me see just how far we are from each other."

【Turbo!】

"I really can't do anything with you." Li Ai smiled helplessly, and to show respect, he also turned the impact capsule on his chest.

【Impact!】

Similar red lights appeared simultaneously on the fists of the father and son, shortening the distance of more than ten meters in just a few steps.

As their fists collided, a terrifying and chilling energy emanated from the father and son, transforming into a tangible shockwave that spread wildly outwards.

Cracks of varying sizes appeared in the walls, ceiling, and floor; the escaping air forced Ida to squint, and she couldn't help but complain:

"You guys are really having a lot of fun."

As soon as Ada finished speaking, Li Ai quickly repaired the cracks in the training area, and the airflow stabilized.

“Ada, let’s come together next time.” Leon turned to Ada and invited her, his tone somewhat smug, like a child showing off a new toy.

Ignoring Leon's boasting about his new gear, Ada turned to Li Ai and asked:

"Isn't there any more ladylike outfit?"

“That would require me to redevelop it, and the time, effort, and resources would all need to be recalculated,” Li Ai explained. “Using the Lord’s Summoning Device directly would save a lot of time.”

Li Ai actually had some ideas about the 'more ladylike equipment' that Ada mentioned.

In the series "Kamen Rider ZZZ", there was a piece of equipment called "Lady's Bracelet" that could release the power of Dream Capsules and allow the wearer to fight like a summoner.

However, that piece of equipment required Li Ai to explore a different research and development path. It was not only energy-consuming and time-consuming to develop, but it also did not provide any physical enhancements, making the user vulnerable to being shot from the shadows, which was a major weakness.

In comparison, the Lord's Summoning Weapon provides a more comprehensive boost and takes less time to develop combat power, making it the safest choice at present.

As a mother, Ida understood Li Ai's situation, and she nodded in agreement:

“Then let’s use the Lord’s Summoning Artifact you mentioned, but I want a different kind of capsule. I’m not one for big, sweeping changes.”

“I understand,” Li Ai nodded in response.

"Let's spar a couple more times," Leon invited, having regained his fighting stance. "I haven't had enough yet."

But Li Ai simply deactivated his transformation first. He looked at Leon helplessly and joked:

"But you can't maintain the disguise for long in your current condition."

"what?"

Before Leon could finish speaking, several electric currents flashed on the Lord Summoner on his chest. With a 'click,' the turbine capsule was forcibly ejected, and then his enhanced suit disintegrated into countless fragments, disappearing without a trace into the air.

After the disguise was removed, Leon truly felt the immense exhaustion. His hair and clothes were instantly soaked with sweat, his muscles trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his body's instinctive reaction automatically shut down the white hair state.

"Huff, huff, huff... This feeling reminds me of the grueling training days I've experienced before."

Leon knelt on the ground, his lungs burning with pain, but having been injected with the enhancement serum, he only took a few deep breaths before gritting his teeth and straightening his back again.

"The first simulated attack lasted about five minutes. If it were against an opponent that required a fight to the death, the time would be halved," Li Ai said, looking at Leon who didn't need any support.

“Looks like I still need more training.” Leon turned and picked up the Dream Eater, examining the blade that could increase its sharpness through high-speed vibration, and said:

"Let's add this to tomorrow's training."

“Of course, no problem,” Li Ai readily agreed.

"Just don't ruin your health." Ada glared at the two of them, then said to Li Ai:

"Please help me further enhance the defensive capabilities of the reinforced armor, as a temporary solution."

“Okay, but I still have to write reports related to Wesker and develop my own new equipment, so I’m afraid I’ll be busy again,” Li Ai said, tapping his temple.

Chapter 167 Getting in through exams is harder than fighting your way in.

Meanwhile, in another underground base, Alex and her brother were standing behind a one-way glass window, observing the actions of the experimental subjects.

On a specially designed large treadmill, a silver-haired youth runs at a speed of tens of Mach. All the energy he generates is collected by the treadmill and turned into energy for the operating base.

The staff recorded the values ​​with satisfaction, and then asked the silver-haired youth to pause his training.

"You did a great job, Subject Six." The staff member handed the silver-haired youth a bottle of purified water.

The silver-haired youth, whose skin shimmered with a red glow, took the bottle of purified water. His burning palm quickly heated the water, and he tilted his head back and drank it down, finally finishing it before the water boiled.

"How is my sister doing?" Pietro Massimov, who only had the code name Subject Six, asked the staff.

Under Hydra's covert machinations, the Sokovian youths' ideas were somewhat extreme. Wesker's men simply said they could provide these youths with the power to destroy America and the Avengers, and the Massimov siblings and others agreed to become test subjects.

There were over a hundred people who initially participated in the experiment, but only a handful have survived so far.

"Subject Seven? Her condition is more stable than yours." The staff member took the water bottle from Pietro's hand and said calmly:

"She has combined telekinesis with high temperatures. Your primary task is to surpass Subject Five in terms of stability."

As they were talking, 'Subject Five' Jack Muller walked into the testing area. Compared to Pietro's sense of honor that he believed he was protecting his country in other ways, Jack looked impatient.

"Hurry up and finish drawing blood for today, then transfer five hundred thousand dollars to my account." Jack casually placed his hand on the table, letting his staff draw blood.

Jack's physique is very special. His superpower potential has not yet been awakened. He only has a special physique with ridiculously high resistance to various biochemical viruses. The staff relied on his blood samples to reduce the toxicity of various viruses.

Pietro glanced at Jack and muttered under his breath, "That greedy Idonian again..."

"The worst thing in life isn't being greedy for money, it's having nowhere to be greedy," Jack said nonchalantly.

"Your talk about nationality is useless, Sokovian. I am only loyal to evil money."

Upon hearing this, Pietro glared fiercely at Jack, but dared not start a fight, because there were rules within the research base.

Moreover, there are people inside the base who can easily subdue them.

"Albert, is this all you've got in your research?" Alex frowned slightly as she looked at the various data reports. She looked up at Wesker in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise:

"You've actually achieved immortality?"

"More than just immortality." Wesker stood ramrod straight, his hands behind his back, like a razor-sharp blade. A hint of smugness flashed in his snake-like eyes behind his sunglasses as he confidently stated:

“Alex, I have reached the top of the food chain, and I am the ultimate life form on this planet.”

Alex looked at her brother, but she could no longer see that mutual respect; all she felt was fear, obedience, and a longing for the strong.

“Albert, please tell me what we should do next.”

Alex's eyes were filled with hope. She suffered from a stubborn disease that modern medicine could not cure and had hoped to prolong her life by researching a development of a T-virus, but now she saw another hope.

“To create a new era,” Wesker said firmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wesker placed his hand on Alex's shoulder, and a deep red energy flowed from his palm into Alex's body, completely transforming her body that had been tormented by illness for years.

Alex felt like she was soaking in a hot spring, every cell in her body soothed. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh. When she opened her eyes again, Wesker continued:

"Life on this planet is bound by gravity, their souls are trapped. Someone must step forward to lead them through evolution, starting with..."

“Wesker, Derek C. Simmons has sent us a collaboration email.” Wesker’s partner, Exera Giony, walked into the room at that moment. “He is willing to submit in exchange for America’s continued prosperity.”

"Oh?"

After a while

April 10, 2010

Today is the awards ceremony for the final round of the American high school academic decathlon.

The finals were held in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. After several days of competition, the rankings of each school were finally determined.

The Midtown High School students, dressed in their custom team uniforms, sat in the audience listening to the tournament organizers' thank-you speech. Flynn, listening to a long and tedious speech, was starting to doze off.

"When will the awards ceremony be over? I haven't slept well for days," Flynn couldn't help but complain.

Li Ai glanced at her friend and asked, "Going on a date with your girlfriend again?"

“You understand me best.” Flynn chuckled.

Felicia Hardy, the captain of Midtown High School, sitting in the front row, noticed the commotion behind her, turned to look at Li Ai, and said with a smile:

"You're sure to get great results this time."

“If Li Ai doesn’t win the award, I’ll report them!” Flynn said, feigning seriousness.

"Save your energy for thinking about applying to universities in the second half of the year," Li Ai said with a smile.

Felicia was amused by the two and turned back to listen to the thanks.

Felicia, however, reminded Flynn, who leaned close to Li Ai's ear and whispered:
