Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

This is this...

Isn't this exactly how he acted when he first transformed into Kamen Rider Mach in front of his sister and Nii-san?

This guy actually—

A strong sense of shame and resentment intertwined in my heart.

"What do you think you're doing? Stop right there!"

Shijima was so anxious that he wanted to rush up and stop this guy from replicating his own chuunibyou scene, but Tomari Shinnosuke realized what was happening and quickly pulled him back.

"Ugh! Forget it, never mind!"

"Next up is my stage!"

Kino grinned, took out the "Gord Drive" driver and put it on his waist, then put on the shift bracelet and struck a transformation pose similar to Kamen Rider Drive.

Turning around and seeing this scene, Tomari Shinnosuke hesitated, then said, "Um..."

I didn't feel anything when I transformed myself before, but now that the other person is replicating me, I always feel an indescribable sense of shame.

Shijima patted his shoulder with a serious expression: "Come on in, Nissan, never mind!"

However, Kino's transformation moves are not exactly the same as Tomari Shinnosuke's. He inserts a golden gear-shifting vehicle into his bracelet, then places his left hand down on his belt, while his right arm is stretched out and makes a half-circle in the air.

"Henshin (Transformation)!"

He shouted with great momentum, and with his left hand he started the lever of the Gord Drive, the golden tire light flashing around him.

Rider!

"Gord Drive!"

Accompanied by deep, resonant electronic sound effects, the golden Drive, which had recently appeared like a demon, reappeared. However, unlike before, its silver compound eyes shone brightly, and a strong sense of oppression spread out in gusts of wind.

wow——

The Golden Drive has returned!

Everyone stared at the scene in astonishment.

Shijima glared at him through gritted teeth: "Why did you have to create 'Gord Drive' again? This kind of thing should never exist again!"

"No, no, no~"

Kino looked in his direction, shook her finger, and then confidently spread her arms wide: "I am now—Kamen Rider Gord!"

"Snapped!"

As he finished speaking, the Blood fireworks display at the edge of the stage instantly went off.

Confetti and ribbons rained down from above the golden knight's head, and the dazzling stage lights refracted the floating debris into sparkling light like starlight. The enthusiastic atmosphere made the whole world seem to be cheering for his arrival.

Immediately afterwards, Blood closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the moment he opened them again, it was as if he were facing certain death—

"Celebrate!!"

Her sudden loud voice drew everyone's attention.

On the overpass, Tomari Shinnosuke and Shijima Tsuyoshi stared blankly at the scene, while Chase and Heart on the street below looked up in astonishment, and the angelic mechanical mutant in mid-air kept a close eye on the stage.

Blood shouted solemnly—

"Writing the epic of warriors, traversing the trajectory of battles, history here turns its most glorious page!"

"The ultimate savior, who brings forth the light of hope at the end of despair, has arrived, and he will write this new history with his own hands!"

"A new warrior has been born! This is the perfect moment!"

"Its name is—Kamen Rider Gord!!"

……

Chapter 69 In the Name of Kamen Rider!

"Kamen Rider..."

"Gord!"

Sparks of light drifted down from the sky, and the golden figure bathed in spotlights shone brightly. It was as if ethereal, celebratory bells rang out in the void, adding a new chapter to the Kamen Rider chronicle.

Everyone was stunned. Shi Dao Gang stared at the confident figure standing on the stage for a long time before he realized what had happened.

"What...?"

Shijima gritted his teeth and said with an ambiguous meaning, "This kind of self-righteous attitude... this arrogant attitude without any self-awareness... it's like a performance. What does this guy take Kamen Rider for?!"

Kino looked over with a beaming smile: "Kamen Rider, of course it's Kamen Rider~"

He raised his arm slightly and tilted his head.

"Doesn't it look like it? Gang."

"..."

After recovering from the grand spectacle, Tomari Shinnosuke was about to remark that it was indeed very similar to (the spectacle when Shijima Tsuyoshi first transformed).

Suddenly, Shidao, who was standing next to him, shouted, "It doesn't look like it at all!!"

So, Shinnosuke paused, wisely refraining from saying that sentence aloud.

Kino simply shrugged. After he signaled the gear-shifting tank to remove the stage, Blood, who had been tense all along, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned and left.

"So--"

Kino then looked at the angelic mechanical mutant: "099, if you still insist on your so-called ultimate peace, then start struggling now~"

The angelic mechanical mutant stopped talking. As if provoked by something, she suddenly roared and released several golden rings!

shhhhh--

Countless golden halos were scattered in the air, shooting out almost simultaneously and attacking Gord from all directions!

Kino raised his hand, gathered a golden wave, and unleashed it. The massive energy spread out horizontally like ripples, and the menacing golden rings instantly exploded in the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Intense flames burned in mid-air, and the angelic mechanical mutant felt the destructive power, its nerves on high alert.

The next moment, several golden tentacles of light pierced through the flames, grabbed her arms almost in the same manner as before, and flung her out of the air!

"boom--!"

The angelic mechanical mutant was instantly sent flying like a cannonball, crashing onto the shore not far away, its body scrambling across the sand and carving a furrow in the sand.

After switching battlefields, a series of tire-like golden light effects flashed around Kino, and he was teleported directly to the other side.

The shockwave from the explosion created a strong gust of wind. It was only then that Tomari Shinnosuke and Shijima Takeshi, who were also on the overpass, realized what was happening. The latter glanced at the direction in which the angelic mechanical mutant had fallen, turned around, and quickly rushed over.

Shinnosuke Tomari looked over there thoughtfully: "The power of 'God Drive' seems to have become even stronger."

Kurim said with a droopy eyebrow, "That guy must have added something weird to it. Anyway, we still need to be careful."

The original "Gord Drive" did not require reading the gear shift vehicle, but after Kino modified it, he clearly took out an extraordinary golden gear shift vehicle when he transformed.

Remembering what Kino had been researching and the posture that kid had just adopted, Kurim tentatively named the gear-shifting vehicle "Gear Shifting Gord".

"But...Kamen Rider Gord?"

Shinnosuke Tomari smiled and said, "I think I understand what he's thinking. Kamen Rider Gord, isn't this a good thing?"

"Too rash!" Kurim raised his eyebrows.

"He's just like Tsuyoshi from the beginning. That's why I believe he's also fighting seriously as a Kamen Rider!" Shinnosuke Tomari remarked.

To the people of this world, Kamen Riders are heroes who fight against mechanical mutants to protect humanity.

After Shinnosuke Tomari, a police officer, was forced to reveal his identity as "Kamen Rider Drive" in order to protect the public, this perception became almost a consensus among the general public.

Even mechanical mutants have come to agree.

So Shinnosuke Tomari was very pleased to see that Kino was willing to return as a "Kamen Rider".

As for the purpose behind those lavish and extravagant displays, let's leave that aside for now...

……

On the beach along the coast.

The angelic mechanical mutant staggered to her feet. As soon as she looked up, the golden figure appeared opposite her, walking towards her with unhurried steps.

Upon seeing this, the golden ring on her head immediately split open and shot out with a sharp whooshing sound!

However, these rings had barely flown out when they were precisely shattered by the energy blasts that Kino casually threw, exploding into balls of fire in mid-air.

"How could this be..."

This increasingly unexpected situation instilled a sense of fear in the angelic mechanical mutants.

She unconsciously took a half step back, but after realizing her own retreat, she suddenly stopped, and more rings poured out like a torrential rain!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Each golden ring was destroyed the moment it flew out, and the continuously flashing explosions resembled fireworks lit on a beach. Gord never stopped and slowly approached the angelic mechanical mutant.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!"

The intense and overwhelming sense of oppression caused her to become hysterical. The angelic mechanical mutant suddenly abandoned its ring attack and charged forward to attempt close combat!

bang——

The fist that was thrown out was firmly grasped when it was only inches away from his face. With a twist of his wrist, the Angelic Mechanical Mutant was slammed hard into the ground, creating a deep crater in the beach!

"boom!"

As the sandstorm kicked up, she struggled to her feet, only to be struck by an uppercut that sent her staggering backward and crashing to the sand once more.

The idea of ​​close combat vanished instantly.

The angelic mechanical mutant roared in frustration, swinging its palm with golden light in an attempt to force the person in front of it back.

As super-evolved beings, the reason why Heart and the other two were defeated by Angel in the past was because the golden ring attack and telekinesis of the Angel mechanical mutant made it difficult for them to get close. Heart could only be thrown back time and time again as they rushed over.

If Heart had had just one chance to get close, the Angelic Mechanical Mutant would have been blown to bits!

But just as the angelic mechanical mutant was about to use the same trick again, Gord's golden figure instantly rushed in front of her, punched her in the waist and abdomen, and then spun around and kicked her away!

"what!"

The angelic mechanical mutant screamed as it crashed onto the beach, overwhelmed by helplessness and hatred. It clenched its fists and glared fiercely at the figure.

Kino gently raised his hand towards her: "Then, choose! 099, will you continue to choose your illusory ideal world, or admit that your ideal is illusory?"

But at this moment, the angelic mechanical mutant had blocked out everything from the outside world. Her heart was filled with resentment and anger after her illusions were shattered, and she screamed hysterically and irrationally.

"Why! Why did you betray ultimate peace! Only I can save this world! Only I am the true savior!"

"Why! Why!!"

"..."

The angelic mechanical mutant roared madly, as if it wanted to tear the person in front of it apart, and charged forward again without regard for anything else.

Kino, who delivered his lines with style but received no response whatsoever: "..."

Looking at the angelic mechanical mutant that was only screaming and going mad, Kino sighed softly: "Then—in the name of Kamen Rider, I will eliminate you here!"

After saying this, golden energy gathered in his palm into a dazzling ball of light, the light growing brighter and brighter, burning with a destructive energy that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

The angelic mechanical mutant, attempting a final stand, saw this dazzling light reflected in its eyes, as if it were witnessing an unattainable sun.

Just as she realized what was happening, the golden wave crashed towards her, instantly enveloping the entire angelic mechanical mutant!

"Boom—!"

A violent explosion was accompanied by a burst of chaotic lightning, sand and gravel were thrown high into the air, and shockwaves swept around like a whirlwind, stirring up waves of seawater.

Even after the flames subsided, the aftershocks of the explosion continued, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder mixed with the sea breeze.

In the center of the scorched sand pit, Angel, whose mechanical mutant form had been shattered, knelt on the ground in a disheveled state. She propped herself up and looked up, her eyes, hidden by her messy hair, still filled with resentment.

"Why……"

"I am clearly... an angel!"

As those last hoarse words fell, Angel's figure scattered like sand in the wind, and the exposed digital core suddenly exploded!
