Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

Zhanji Lingma raised an eyebrow slightly and quickly arrived at the edge of the rooftop, but there was no one in the air below.

He then turned to look at Wu Daoguihu, walked over and helped him up.

"Kiyora, I'm truly surprised that you've achieved this! But it seems the Genesis Driver still needs some modifications. The power of the Devil Fruit, released to this extent, cannot yet be fully controlled by humans," Sengoku Ryoma said cryptically.

“It’s alright, our strength is enough to eliminate those aliens,” Wu Dao Guihu said upon hearing this.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku Ryoma could no longer maintain his smile. He could only awkwardly and politely twitch the corners of his mouth before calmly releasing Wu Dao Guihu.

"I'll send someone to find that kid first."

After Zhanji Lingma finished speaking, he turned and left.

Wu Daogui didn't sense anything wrong with his attitude. He stepped back slightly, leaned against the wall, and looked down at the melon energy-locking seed in his hand.

This force is indeed very powerful.

Whenever World Tree Group develops a new driver, Teruhiro Gojima is always the first test subject, but he never thought of monopolizing this power.

What he wants to do is to stabilize this force and then make it available to as many people as possible.

Perhaps this is how we can save the world.

……

……

The World Tree Tower is surrounded by a moat.

Although Kino had already deactivated his transformation in mid-air, he felt that since he was already in this situation, he might as well go through the process again. So, after entering the water, he finally opened the [Kamen Rider Chronicle] and traveled through time with satisfaction.

[Start Search].

The book in front of me was flipped directly to 2014.

The knight's emblem on the page emitted light, and Kino's consciousness seemed to be swallowed up, remaining silent for a moment before recovering again.

"Wow..."

He hadn't opened his eyes yet.

Then I felt a sense of weightlessness all over my body.

Moreover, his five senses also allowed him to perceive a cool, flowing substance in his environment, just like the sensation he had when he entered the safe zone.

Wait! Why am I still in the water?

—Did I fail to travel through time?

……

Chapter 56: Barbarian Tenjuro's arrival

What happened before this—

Drive the world.

Wrapped in a warm blanket, Shinnosuke Tomari huddled in the Drive base, bored from working overtime, checking information on the mechanical mutants that had been confirmed to be eliminated.

After becoming a belt, Kurimu basically no longer needed to sleep or rest, so he stayed up all night with Shinnosuke Tomari.

However, he still doesn't quite trust certain things.

"Shinnosuke, do you really believe that guy's plan?" Kurim asked hesitantly.

"Since he said it would be either tonight or tomorrow morning, whether he's playing us or not, it's only one night anyway."

As he spoke casually, Tomari Shinnosuke picked up a bag of potato chips from the snack shelf and started eating.

"That's true, but..."

Kurim's features drooped: "If Wild Man really appears, it might prove that the child really has no ill intentions towards us, but if that's the case, I don't really want Wild Man to appear again."

Upon hearing this, Tomari Shinnosuke, who was eating potato chips, paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "So even Mr. Belt has moments of confusion? If you can't make up your mind, then you might as well just let things take their course!"

Before becoming Kamen Rider Drive, Shinnosuke Tomari was a very easygoing (and somewhat lazy) person.

"There's no other way now."

As soon as Kurim finished speaking, he saw his phone screen light up, and a text message was sent to him.

Shinnosuke Tomari paused for a moment, picked up his phone, and after reading the message, he suddenly stood up, the blanket covering him slipping off.

"Kino said he's already started taking action, just in case, Mr. Belt, let's set off now!"

"Okay!"

Kulim's enthusiasm was also ignited.

The Special Investigations Division was deserted in the dead of night, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Jinnosuke started the Cytron car parked on the side of the road and drove away.

But just after he set off, a motorcycle turned on its headlights in the darkness around the corner and followed Setron at a distance in the night.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The dark purple motorcycle sped along the highway and soon arrived at an abandoned stadium.

The hunter knew this place; it was one of the strongholds of the mechanical mutants. He looked around and then heard a series of "bang bang clang" sounds coming from inside.

It seemed that Heart and the other two had already left the base. After thinking it over, Hunter took out his Destruction Pistol and walked warily toward the direction from which the sound came.

As he approached the laboratory, he vaguely heard what sounded like a human making a frustrated or exasperated sound.

"hateful--"

"hateful!!"

The laboratory was filled with a pungent, acrid smell of burning wires. Broken wires hung from the ceiling, and dangerous sparks occasionally flew out from various places. In some places, flames had even broken out.

The hunter standing at the door stared at the scene in astonishment, then turned his gaze away.

The source of the noise seemed to be a life-sized mechanical tank in the corner, to which all the equipment in the laboratory was connected, and streams of light constantly flowed through the cables and spread to all directions of the room.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom"!

The lights in the entire laboratory went completely dark, with only some electronic devices still flashing electricity.

His hunting instincts were taut as he stared intently at that spot.

Click...

The valve on the mechanical tank opened, and a large amount of white gas spilled out. Immediately afterward, a pair of terrifying, scarlet compound eyes lit up in the darkness.

"Ho ho ho ho..."

A sinister, low laugh rang out: "What an idiot, leaving the Gord Drive to me. In that case, I won't be polite!"

Although this was the first time the Hunter had seen the Golden Drive form, after hearing from Kurim that Tenjuro Banno had copied the Drive Driver, he roughly understood the origin of this transformation form.

"Savage!"

The hunter alertly called out.

The golden monster standing in the laboratory was admiring the power he had finally obtained but had been stolen from. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and noticed the hunter standing at the door.

"Chase, huh? He got here so quickly. Looks like that guy arranged it."

Banno Tenjuro sneered, "But it's a real shame you're too late. I won't give him another chance to show up!"

After saying this, the golden Drive suddenly waved its hand and released a shockwave at him. The hunter, who was already on guard, immediately dodged behind the wall and took out the Mach signal motorcycle and put it into his belt.

'Signal Bike!'

Rider!

"Mach!"

"boom!"

The impact of the explosion and the tire light effects burst forth together, and the white knight's armor covered the hunter's figure.

The driving forces of Signal Mach and Signal Chaser are from the same source. Since Shijima had taken possession of his Chaser, the Hunter, who hadn't found a chance to return it, naturally took Mach and used it.

However, this meant that the hunters only had one signal Mach, and no other signal motorcycles to use as auxiliary power.

After taking out the front-mounted shotgun and testing its handling, finding it similar to the Destroyer pistol, he turned and rushed into the laboratory.

Now that they have confirmed that the golden drive in front of them is the consciousness of Tenjuro Banno, what they need to do now is to completely eliminate this evil mastermind!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The energy blast exploded in the dimly lit laboratory, sparks flying everywhere. The Hunter, firing as it went, charged toward the Golden Drive, using the tire mechanism of its front wheel gun as a melee weapon.

Drive sneered and blocked with his arm. The high-speed spinning tires sparked a string of sparks, but it didn't seem to cause any damage to Drive.

For a moment, the hunter was stunned, and the golden Drive suddenly swung out a palm, sending him flying. The white Mach crashed heavily into a pile of mechanical equipment.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning illuminated the scene as Hunter struggled to his feet amidst a pile of shattered equipment. He had to admit that the power unleashed by his opponent seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

Banno Tenjuro let out a long, satisfying sigh and stood there admiring his own figure.

Taking advantage of this moment, the hunter did not hesitate to raise his front-mounted rifle and fire continuously.

Several energy projectiles flew towards the opposite side from all directions, but were blocked by a golden energy field suddenly unleashed by the opponent as they approached the Golden Drive. The sparks from the explosions illuminated the laboratory for a moment.

The next moment, the golden Drive left a trail of afterimages in the laboratory. Sensing something was wrong, the hunter hurriedly retreated, simultaneously holding the front-wheel firing gun in front of him.

"boom!"

Golden Drive's fist slammed into the rapidly spinning tire, and Hunter felt a tingling sensation in his arm. The front wheel gun almost slipped from his hand, and before he could regain his footing, Golden Drive's next attack came crashing down on him.

"Hahahaha—"

Banno Tenjuro began to attack wildly while laughing maniacally. The hunter, unable to defend himself, was thrown away again, but after a short while, he raised his front-mounted rifle again and tried to fight back.

The energy blasts traced bright trajectories in the cramped laboratory, but were always dodged by Golden Drive with lightning speed, or simply with his body.

Faced with the Golden Drive, all his attack methods seemed to have lost their effectiveness. Banno Tenjuro simply let out a perverted laugh and fought casually as if toying with the enemy.

As the fist hurtled towards him with a whooshing sound, Hunter, panting, barely managed to dodge to the side, creating some distance before raising his front-wheel-fire gun again.

However, in that instant, Golden Drive had already rushed in front of him and delivered a heavy punch to his abdomen.

"What's wrong, Chase? Is this all you've got?"

The hunter didn't respond, but took advantage of the moment when Golden Drive relaxed his strength to shake off his hand, and then swung his weapon. However, after Golden Drive casually blocked a few attacks, he grabbed his shoulder and slammed him hard against the wall.

Struggling against the shackles of the hunt, a twisted laugh, as if a liberated being, emanated from beneath the mask of Golden Drive.

"Bringing you here won't help; you can't possibly defeat me as a super-evolved being!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked out with a powerful kick that shattered the wall and sent the man flying.

Boom—!

The Hunter crashed into the open area outside the laboratory, and then particles flashed across its body as the Mach armor disintegrated due to overload.

"Cough cough..."

He struggled to sit up, staring in shock at the golden Drive, its crimson outline peeking out from the darkness. He vaguely understood what Shinnosuke had told him earlier about Heart being brutally beaten up...

Feeling the power within him, Golden Drive raised his hand, clenched his fist, and then laughed even more arrogantly.

"This is amazing! This power!"

Banno Tenjuro let out a low, excited laugh, then looked at the hunted creature lying there.

The dark gold armor gleamed coldly in the dim light. The Golden Drive casually kicked aside the metal fragments at its feet and approached its pursuer with unhurried steps.

"Since that guy brought you here to die, let's take care of you first, then those Kamen Riders!"

Golden Drive sneered sinisterly, raising his hand to condense a destructive energy blast. But just as he was about to throw the attack, several geared vehicles trailing flames flew from the sky and struck his hand!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Golden Drive staggered two steps, the energy he was gathering in his hand interrupted, and he turned to look at the other side of the open venue.

Tomari Shinnosuke stared at him with a grave expression: "So it really did appear—Banno!"

"Oh?"
