Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

……

Dense beams of light blocked his path. The Extreme Fox abruptly stopped its charge, moving swiftly like a flowing red lightning bolt, dodging all the crisscrossing beams. Small craters were blasted into the ground behind it.

The city was already a ruin from the previous battle, and its streets, filled with rubble, were blown up once again.

MKII has extremely strong explosive power. Seizing the gap in a round of laser bombardment, Jihu stomped the ground and closed the distance again, throwing a straight punch at Kamen Rider Gazer's face.

Nilam, who had been standing still, watched his movements closely and threw a punch in return.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, and the resulting sparks were even more dazzling than before.

Both of their arms were knocked away at the same time, but the follow-up attack from the fox was faster. Using the reaction force of the punch, the fox spun around and used the force of its whole body rotation to smash its elbow into the chest of Kamen Rider Gazer!

Nilam hastily raised his forearm to block.

"Oh!"

The blow was so powerful that Kamen Rider Gazer was knocked to the side and staggered a couple of steps.

He immediately manipulated the surrounding mechanical spheres to return to defense. The two spheres stopped firing lasers and instead accelerated like hammers to crash into the back of the Extreme Fox.

But just as the ball was about to hit, the fox suddenly did a backflip and jumped up, while flipping the MKII buckle on the driver in its hand.

'REVOLVE ON!'

After the MKII flipped over, the upper and lower armor plates were not reversed. After all, the MKII is full-body armor. The Extreme Fox's body spun in the erupting flames, and the moment it landed, it had transformed into a fiery red mechanical fox.

This isn't an adjective; it's a real five-tailed red fox in fox form!

Kamen Rider Goku Fox MKII - Beast Mode!

Suddenly, the five mechanical spheres around him rushed forward. The red fox swung its tail sharply, and the burst of red flames sent the mechanical spheres flying. Then, it charged towards Kamen Rider Gazer to the side!

Nilam was startled and instinctively raised his hands to block in front of him. Instantly, he was knocked back several steps by a fierce charge from the red fox. Before he could regain his balance, the fox charged at him again.

This kind of battle requires no skill, only strength.

Scorching flames exploded across the battlefield. After being knocked away several times, Nilam knelt on one knee, and five mechanical spheres quickly arranged themselves into formation in front of him.

As the red fox charged forward again, a dense barrage of laser beams, almost condensed into a single beam, bombarded it!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The red fox's body was completely engulfed by the exploding flames.

'REVOLVE ON!'

However, accompanied by electronic sound effects, Kamen Rider Kyoko, who had regained his human form, leaped into the air from the flames, passed through the formation of mechanical spheres, and simultaneously twisted the handlebars of the MKII with buckles.

Nilam looked up in surprise.

Boost Time!

Boost Grand Strike!

The fox, which was falling rapidly from the sky, threw a punch. The scorching flames from the laser tubes on its arm armor almost wrapped around its entire arm, and then smashed it down towards the Kamen Rider Gazer below, who had no way to avoid it!

"Boom—!"

The four mechanical spheres were instantly recalled and combined into a golden shield in front of Kamen Rider Gazer.

The fist clashed violently with the energy shield, unleashing a deafening roar. Flames and golden energy particles flew everywhere, and the powerful shockwave blew away all the rubble on the surrounding ground.

The fox landed on the ground, its fist still pressed tightly against the golden shield, while Nilam on the other side of the shield looked at it with great surprise.

"Where did you get your belt buckle from?"

"..."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi didn't speak. He was breathing heavily and felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

It's almost at its limit...

……

Chapter 116 Because this is where I live

Despite the relentless attacks from the Extreme Fox, it was still unable to defeat Kamen Rider Gazer within the limited time available.

MKII's power was still there, but mental fatigue and drowsiness directly affected his body, and the movements of the Extreme Fox began to become heavy and weak.

Nilam keenly sensed something was amiss.

He immediately removed the golden barrier blocking his way and stared at the Extreme Fox, who was kneeling on one knee, panting heavily after delivering a punch.

"It seems you can't maintain this form forever, Extreme Fox. I'm very interested in the real you, but unfortunately you're going to interfere with the Desire Grand Prix."

Having confirmed that he had the upper hand, Nilam put his hands behind his back again, standing tall and imposing, while five mechanical spheres floated around him, aimed at the crimson fox kneeling on the ground.

He looked down at the person in front of him with an air of superiority, as if judging him.

Although the opponent's performance was quite different from when he fought against Siel two thousand years ago, and didn't even seem like the same state he had just been in after defeating Kiroli, it was all for nothing that he had been on guard for so long.

But none of that matters anymore—

Nilam only needs to solve the immediate problem.

The fox slowly raised its head, its golden compound eyes, outlined by the fiery red mask, staring at the Kamen Rider Gazer in front of it. Then, as if weighing a ton, it slowly raised one hand.

He curled three fingers, making the signature fox gesture of Kamen Rider Goku.

"Would you believe me if I said I would be the one to win?"

"Ok?"

Niram paused upon hearing this, not understanding why the Extreme Fox, who seemed to have suffered a backlash from the buckle and was at its last gasp, could still say such a thing.

He was clearly struggling to even stand up.

The next moment, the raised hand of the fox stretched straight forward, passing through a circle of rotating tire light effects in mid-air, and grabbed the driver on Kamen Rider Gazer's waist at close range!

"what?!"

Niram was slightly startled. He then felt something bump against his side, and the Vision Driver was pulled out just like that!

Swah——

He was forced to deactivate his transformation with an incredulous expression.

Only then did Nilam see two streaks of light trace a curved path in the air before quickly disappearing onto the Extreme Fox.

"Someone once said that the essence of a battle lies in the result, not the process. As long as I desire it, fate will be on my side."

Although Hidetoshi Ukiyo's voice was still tired, it carried his usual arrogant confidence. Holding the second Vision Driver in his hand, he activated the teleportation without hesitation and left.

"etc…!"

Nilam instinctively took a step after him.

However, without the Vision Driver, he was no longer able to teleport to the Palace of Desire where the Goddess of Creation resided. Niram's face was extremely grim, knowing that this time things were completely hopeless.

The two game administrators and the game producer of DGP were stripped of their power one after another!

……

……

Two vision drives.

You can then directly awaken the Goddess of Creation!

This was Hidetoshi Ukiyo's goal from beginning to end. He forced his exhausted consciousness back to the Palace of Desire, but before he could call out to Mitzmey, he was met with a blinding burst of light.

"……what?"

Boom—

Kino grabbed the unfortunate boy by the back of the neck and threw him away. The blast from the Magnum rifle struck the spot where the boy had been standing.

When Kino used his Dimensional Measure ability, he sensed the situation on the other side of the Extreme Fox.

Unexpectedly, while he was dealing with the Evil Garden, Ukiyo Hidetoshi was not idle either, and actually went to challenge Nilam to a duel.

We clearly agreed that it would be two against one.

Kamen Rider Gazer, controlled by Neram, is quite powerful. If he were to fight seriously, even a fully-powered MKII might not be able to defeat him, let alone a MKII that could fall asleep at any moment.

Even with his previous intensive training, Ukiyo Hidetoshi was still struggling to withstand the explosive power.

"Extreme Fox?"

When Selden saw a Kamen Rider suddenly appear in the Palace of Desire, he paused, and stopped his frantic pursuit of MKIX with the Magnum Shotgun.

Kino stepped forward, blocking his view: "Let's not worry about people who aren't involved in the battle, let's continue our passionate teamwork, Siel!"

The moment the words fell, the white fox transformed into a streak of cyan lightning and sped away. Almost instinctively, Siel raised his arms to block in front of him, and then a tremendous impact force came!

"boom--"

Sparks flew as the two collided.

The so-called tacit understanding was nothing more than Siel's complete inability to fight back.

Not far away, Ukiyo Hidetoshi fell to the ground and rolled around. A red light flashed across his body, and he returned to his human form.

He forced his head up to look over, but his blurry vision only allowed him to see a white figure seemingly beating up a black and red figure.

He vaguely sensed himself from the power and aura emanating from the other party.

It wasn't until the white Kamen Rider turned around during the battle that Hidetoshi Ukiyo suddenly saw clearly those extremely familiar fox compound eyes.

Without a doubt, this is—

"Another Arctic Fox...?"

The image of the white-haired Hidetoshi flashed through Ukiyo Hidetoshi's mind. He wanted to take a closer look, but his consciousness, which was nearing its limit, had completely fallen into darkness.

……

Ukiyo Hidetoshi opened his eyes.

Before me lay a bottomless darkness.

He stood in the void, as if treading on an abyss, a cold and lonely aura seeping into his body.

At that moment, the light of candles slowly began to illuminate the surroundings, and then a torii gate was outlined by the light. A man dressed in ancient ceremonial robes and wearing a fox mask stepped through the torii gate and walked up to him.

This person...

Ukiyo Hidetoshi had a feeling in his heart.

The other person spoke, their voice sounding as if it had been processed and came from all directions.

What are you fighting for?

"Because I am Kamen Rider Kujira."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi gazed at him calmly.

"Is becoming a Kamen Rider your wish, or a compromise you made to achieve some other goal?"

"..."

"Who are you, and why are you in this world? Do you hate it? Do you want to save your mother? What is your reason for fighting? Why do you want to save the world?"

"..."

The man in the fox mask spoke in a very calm voice, yet it sounded like he was forcing him, as he drew out one buried question after another from the depths of Ukiyo Hidetoshi's heart.

The dark space seemed devoid of any concept of time and space. Ukiyo Hidetoshi stood there in a daze for a long time, while the man wearing the fox mask moved erratically.

Finally, he appeared beside Hidetoshi Ukiyo, the two seemingly going in opposite directions, and he uttered a dark question tinged with mockery.

"Answer me—is this the world you desire, where everything is destroyed and then reshaped as you please?"

"Do not."

Hidetoshi Ukiyo's eyes were clear: "I just want to save this world because that person said... this is where I live."

The dark space, flickering with candlelight, remained silent for a long time.

Standing beside Hidetoshi Ukiyo, the man with his back to him raised his hand and removed the fox mask, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Hidetoshi Ukiyo's!

The masked man glanced at Ukiyo Hidetoshi beside him, said nothing more, and simply walked towards the torii gate.
