Chapter 394 My Opponent is You

Chapter 394 My Opponent is You

Inside the World Tree Foundation's research institute.

"What happened?"

Zhan Ji Lingma walked into the central command room of the World Tree Tower in a hurry, and saw on the monitoring screen hanging on the wall that three armored knights were entangled in the aisle leading to the "rift".

The staff member who sounded the alarm said, "The director has spotted an intruder and is over to deal with him now!"

"Intruder?"

Zhan Ji Lingma narrowed his eyes slightly: "Isn't that the little white mouse that Gui Hu brought in himself? How could it escape so quickly..."

As he said this, his eyes fell on the Sengoku Driver on Zangetsu's waist, and his expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

And the next moment, as the Gaim on the screen took out a crystal-shaped locking seed, Zhan Ji Ling, who originally had a somewhat contemptuous attitude, suddenly widened his eyes, took a step forward in disbelief and stared at the screen closely.

"Why is lemon energy there?!"

……

While Zhan Yue was being thrown to the ground by Long Xuan.

Kuzuya Hirota quickly took out the orange from the drive and replaced it with a crystal lemon energy lock seed.

However, the installed locking seed could not press the lock "Lock On" no matter what, and the Zhan Ji driver did not give any response.

This made Kuzuya Kota suddenly panic.

"What's going on... didn't it fit in?"

He quickly took out the locking seed and prepared to reload it, but Zhan Yue, who was pinned to the ground by Long Xuan, saw this and his eyes flashed. He raised the unparalleled saber in his hand and pointed the muzzle of the hilt at his belt.

"boom!"

Just as Kuzuya Hirota had just put it in, the fired shell hit the lemon lock seed. The impact of the explosion blew away the buckle and lock seed on the driver.

Kuzuya Kota screamed in pain and staggered back.

"Oops!"

He looked at the lemon lock seeds that had fallen to the ground and slid for a distance. He was not sure if they were damaged, but he rushed forward and tried to pick them up.

However, at this time, Zhan Yue, who was wrestling with Long Xuan on the ground, suddenly rolled sideways, lying on his back on the floor. He kicked Long Xuan, who had lost his balance, heavily against the wall, while his Wushuang military knife kept pulling the trigger at the lemon energy lock on the floor.

“Bang bang bang bang—!”

“Woooaaaa! Wow! Aaaaaa——”

Kuzuya Kota's screams echoed with the sound of gunfire. Facing the attack from Zangetsu's artillery shells, he pounced forward and grabbed the fixed-lock seeds that were bouncing everywhere.

Luckily it doesn't look broken.

He then looked at the Sengoku Driver and saw that a part of the belt was missing. Suddenly, he had an idea and took out the other part that DJ Sagara gave him.

Click~
"That's true!"

The belt component successfully replaced the gap in the driver, and Kuzuya Kota quickly installed the lemon lock seed into the component and then pressed the lock.

"Lemon Energy!"

"Success!"

This time, Kuzuya Hirotaka successfully pressed the lock and opened his arms excitedly, kneeling on the ground waiting to change his form.

However, after the energy lock rang for a while...

There was no movement about him.

Ge Yehongtai: "..."

Seeing this scene, Zhan Yue couldn't help but pause.

Takato Wudao knew that the "Energy Lock Seed" was a next-generation lock seed specially developed to suit the "Genesis Drive".

Although he understood when he checked the research materials that the "Energy Lock Seed" could not be used in the "Zhan Gokui Driver", this lock seed was given to Kuzuba Kota by DJ Sagara after all, so he was not sure of the true situation.

And now it seems...

After all, we can still believe in science.

Zhan Yue reacted quickly, knelt on one knee and chopped down Long Xuan, who had just been kicked against the wall, with a sword. Then he raised his saber, walked towards Gaim and pulled the trigger to fire the shell.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

“It hurts! It hurts—”

Kuzuya Kota also came back to his senses from his daze, and just as he stood up, Zangetsu rushed in front of him and attacked!
He could only quickly draw out the unparalleled saber hanging at his waist to resist. The two sabers collided with fierce sparks, and then Gaim was knocked out by Zangetsu with just two strikes.

Wu Daoguang, who had climbed up not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "What are you doing, Kota-ge, why don't you leave quickly!"

There was a chance just now!

"What are you talking about? I can't leave you here alone!" Ge Ye Hongtai shouted in response.

"This kind of thing..."

Wu Daoguang suddenly stopped talking.

After all, even if he failed to escape, the worst result would be that his brother would take away his Zhan Ji Driver and he would not be in real danger of his life.

Now the only knight still standing was Zangetsu. He looked at Long Xuan and Kaimu on his left and right, and said in a cold tone: "Neither of you can leave."

He raised his hand and turned the handle of the Zhan Ji driver, and the blade quickly cut the honeydew melon lock seed in the center of the belt.

"Melon Squash!"

As the special move was released, the unparalleled saber was wrapped in golden-green melon energy. Zangetsu stared closely at the Gaim on the opposite side and prepared to charge.

Ge Yehong anxiously touched the lemon energy locking seed on his waist. At this critical moment, he suddenly remembered the orange locking seed he had just taken off.

So there is indeed a gap that has not been filled in the current Zhan Ji drive.

"No matter, let's try it first!"

Kuzuya Kota reinstalled the orange lock seeds.

"Lock On!"

Zangetsu suddenly rushed forward, and the golden-green melon energy had already hit him in front of him, but the next moment, the orange armor on Gaim's body suddenly closed and flew out!
boom--!
The unparalleled slash landed on the lemon armor that dropped from the ceiling. A huge energy shock wave spread out, and Zhan Yue, who had already rushed to the front, was directly knocked back several steps.

The flying orange armor and the falling lemon armor merged into one in the air, and were finally loaded onto Gaim's body.

"MIX!"

"Orange Arms!"

"Hanamichi On Stage!" 』

"Jimber Lemon! HaHa!"

——Gaiwu Jinyu Lemon Armor!
The weapon, the Sonic Arrow, appeared in Gaim's hand. Feeling the surging power in his body, Kuzuya Kota immediately shook his arms excitedly.

"Ahaha~ Great! I finally succeeded!"

"........."

The Wudao brothers looked at him in silence.

Kuzuba Kota shouted excitedly again: "Next is my stage!"

He simply held the sonic arrow in his backhand and slashed it with the blade of the bow. Zhan Yue immediately raised his unparalleled saber to block the two attacks, and then felt the shocking force with some surprise.

Bang! Ding!
After the two of them exchanged a few quick moves, Gaim suddenly exerted force with the sonic arrow pointing at the unparalleled saber to push Zangetsu against the wall, leaving enough space for the narrow aisle to pass through, and then shouted at Long Xuan who was blocked at the other end.

"Mitsumasa, take this opportunity now!" Wu Daomingmai came back to his senses from the surprise that he used a new type of lock, nodded quickly, and quickly walked past the two of them.

Going out from here is the entrance to the "rift"!
Zangetsu raised his melon-shaped defensive shield and forced Gaim back with it, and aimed the muzzle of his warrior sword at Long Xuan's back.

But just as he paused slightly, Gaim, who was thrown away, quickly drew his bow.

"Your opponent is me!"

An energy arrow came from behind as Kuzuya Kota shouted. Zangetsu reacted quickly and raised his melon-shaped defense shield to block the attack. He then turned around and slashed the arrow away with a knife, and it exploded on the wall of the corridor.

In the light of the explosion, Zangetsu quickly stepped forward, and his melon-shaped defensive shield smashed into Gaim's chest like a giant hammer.

The Kaimu who was forced to approach kept stumbling backwards, holding the sonic arrow horizontally against the shield, until his back was "banged" against the wall!

The eyes behind the melon-shaped goggles were fixed on the Gaim in front of him, and no emotion could be heard in Takatora Wudao's voice.

"Your opponent is indeed me."

"……what?"

Ge Ye Hongtai was slightly stunned, because he felt that the other party seemed to be serious with some mood.

But before he could think about it, Zangetsu's unparalleled sword turned and slashed towards his left shoulder. Gaim quickly turned his body sideways and raised his knee to hit the bottom edge of Migua's defensive shield.

Then, while Zangetsu was deflecting his movement, he immediately dodged and wielded the sonic arrow with his backhand to chop at Zangetsu!
"boom!"

The honey melon defensive shield was suddenly raised forward, and the bow's blade hit the shield surface, sparks flew, and the huge force made Zang Yue take another step back.

However, Gaim did not pursue the victory, but just retreated while drawing the bow, and the continuous light arrows exploded on the melon defense shield with a "bang bang bang".

After Zangetsu put down his defensive shield and swung his unparalleled saber to knock away all the arrows, Gaim had already taken the opportunity to retreat to the entrance of the passage.

At this time, Kuzuya Kota suddenly said: "Although I don't know what you want to do, but... I still think there is no reason for us to become rivals. I just want to protect everyone from the invasion of foreigners."

After saying this, he turned around and disappeared at the entrance of the passage.

Wu Daoguihu slowly put down his unparalleled saber and remained silent for a while in the passage full of bullet holes and knife marks.

Until the sound of slow footsteps was heard from the other end of the passage, Zhan Ji Lingma walked out from the corner and came to Zhan Yue with a smile on his face.

"Gui Hu, you couldn't keep them?"

Zhan Ji Ling Ma said this in an ambiguous tone, and took out the Melon Speed ​​Seed from Zang Yue's belt and looked at it: "Genesis Driver... don't you want to use it?"

Wudao Guihu turned his head and looked at him: "I'm not used to it. I feel more familiar with the power of the Sengoku Driver."

Sengoku Reima laughed when he heard this and said, "Takatora, you can't just stand still like this! If you had used the Genesis Drive just now, you would have defeated both of them. You wouldn't have to be afraid of Gaim's new form."

"Speaking of this, why is "Lemon Energy" in the hands of Kota Kuzuya? I remember it was in your laboratory before, right?" Takatora Wudao asked knowingly.

"…I am also investigating. Maybe there is a traitor among us."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma stroked his chin and said, "Gui Hu, the person you brought in from Helheim Forest seems to have become an armored knight, right?"

He took out an electronic device from his white coat, turned on the screen, and what appeared on the screen was the dragon fruit armor!
"I've never heard you say that!"

Zhan Ji Lingma seemed to be laughing very heartily.

Wu Daoguihu took a look and seemed to feel a little tired and sighed slightly.

"He's the helper I hired to deal with the group of Beat Riders. Lingma, you have time to focus on these unnecessary things. It's better to focus more on developing mass-produced drivers. As for those riders, just let me take care of them."

After saying these words somewhat stiffly, Wu Daoguihu took the honeydew melon lock seeds back from him, turned around and walked out towards the entrance.

As he said that, the smile on Zhan Ji Lingma's face gradually froze, and he stared blankly at Wu Dao Guihu's back.

After a long while, he seemed to come back to his senses from the criticism, and turned his gaze back to the electronic screen in his hand, staring at the dragon fruit armor fighting in the video.

but……

This obviously unusual "Dragon Fruit Lock Seed" was not developed by him at all!
……

……

After watching the battle in which Gaim turned into the "Jinyu Lemon Armor", Kawahara roughly guessed that Takatora Wujima might not be able to keep the opponent this time.

Even without using the new version of the juicer, the "Genesis Lock Seed" is far more powerful than the "War Lock Seed", not to mention that the "Lemon Energy Lock Seed" is positioned as S-level, while the Honeydew Melon Lock Seed is only super A-level.

but……

Even if he continues to use the first edition belt, Kawahara feels that Takatora Wujima still has great potential.

What happened to the original belt?
The first version can also produce the effect of the ultimate version!
Kawahara glanced at the battle situation on the monitor, raised his hand to pull out a crack in Heim's underworld next to him, and then walked straight in.

The forest in the underworld of Helheim is always filled with a smell of decay and dampness. Kawahara looked around, broke off a branch that felt just fine, and then transformed it into a Qinglong stick in the golden electric light.

The next moment, a purple armored knight ran over breathlessly from not far away.

The other party looked back from time to time, observing the entrance of the "rift" in Helheim's underworld with great concern, and did not notice a figure walking out from the tree behind him.

Then--

"Bang!"

Kawahara hit Long Xuan on the head with a club.

Caught off guard, Wu Dao Guang Shi was startled, then he staggered and fell on the grass, and the grape armor on his body turned into a burst of light and dissipated.

"You still have to let me be the one to knock you out."

Kawahara sighed and squatted down beside Mitsumasa Kurejima, took off his Sengoku Driver and Locking Seed, then thought about it and put them on himself.

But the moment he put on the belt, the "Longxuan Panel" on the Zhan Ji Driver quietly turned into a pitch-black color.

Then Kawahara starts the grape lock seed with anticipation!
"Budou——Lock On!"

Purple grape armor covered the pitch-black body, but Kawahara, who had completed the transformation, was stunned after looking at his figure.

"Ah? Why is it still me?"

He did not transform into "Kamen Rider Ryugen", his body was still black, and his head still had two pairs of golden horns.

Just wearing a grape armor.

Kawahara wanted to turn into Ryugen to tease Gaim, but now it seems that the Sengoku Driver still recognizes the number...

Sure enough, the first edition belt is the strongest!

Kawahara did not cancel his transformation. He inserted the Grape Dragon Cannon in his hand into his waist, then carried Mitsumasa Wudao and prepared to leave the underworld of Heim.

But the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere.

A crack suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the forest not far away. After a while, a passing alien monster discovered the crack and walked out without knowing it.

Outside is the real world's Sawame City.

Just as Kawahara paused, Gaim finally ran in through the crack of the World Tree. After looking around, he saw the Grape Armor standing in the jungle.

"Hikaru!"

Ge Yehong ran over excitedly, but when he got close to the other party, he suddenly braked!
"Eh?! K-Kawahara?"

"..."

Kawahara, who was discovered at first sight, looked at him.

It turns out that there is no such thing as not recognizing a person through a leather case.
