Decade VS Kamen Rider Zi-O

"Good grief, someone actually recruited you."

Raven looked at Emperor with feigned surprise.

"Power, strength, everything in the world—if you want it, you can have it all. Sounds pretty tempting."

Waldo: "."

Emperor: "."

Being recruited by the local natives was one thing.

But what was with Raven’s tone?

"Join us." Sougo Tokiwa spoke again, extending an invitation to Emperor. "We will become the kings of this universe."

"We will become the kings of the universe." Raven mockingly repeated it. "Big Guy, why aren’t you hurrying over there?"

Emperor looked at the expectant Sougo Tokiwa. "Sorry, I have no interest in cooperating with an idiot like you. If I wanted to become the king of this universe, I could do it easily even without you."

Sougo Tokiwa froze instantly, his expression turning ugly.

"You dare refuse me?"

"Are you supposed to be some big shot? You won’t even let people refuse you? You’re so petty—when you can’t win, you smear people instead. What a pathetic piece of trash."

Raven was as sharp-tongued as ever, enraging Sougo Tokiwa until his face went pale.

"Y-you…"

Sougo Tokiwa’s body trembled.

Tokiwa Sougo, who had been lying on the ground, climbed to his feet and walked up to Sougo Tokiwa.

"Did you do all this just to destroy this dimension?"

"So what if I did? You’re already badly wounded. There’s no way you can stop me now." Sougo Tokiwa sized up Tokiwa Sougo with disdain, then pointed at Emperor. "And he doesn’t have a transformation belt, so he can’t transform either."

"So we were all just tools for realizing your ambition?" Geiz finally understood the full truth.

They had thought they were heroes resisting a Tyrant. Who would have expected that they had been used as weapons all along?

Their greatest enemy had never been Kamen Rider Zi-O, but the mysterious man who had been helping them.

The so-called controller of the Time Administration Bureau.

"Who told you to be so stupid without realizing it?"

Sougo Tokiwa’s tone was cold, and the many resistance members and Riders all glared at him.

"Those who submit will prosper; those who resist will perish." Woz also stepped to Sougo Tokiwa’s side, facing the resistance members and Riders.

At that moment, the sky rumbled as the Great Demon God Machines that had once destroyed the world appeared once more.

Each one was enormous, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Geiz looked at Emperor and tossed over the belt in his hand. "Help us one last time."

Sougo Tokiwa curled his lips into a cold smile and lightly snapped his fingers.

The belt turned into light in midair and vanished.

"Ever since Kamen Rider Zi-O escaped my control, I had been wary of you people betraying me. That’s why I tampered with all your belts. Without my permission, none of you can use them."

"Shameless." Seeing the belt disappear, Geiz’s heart sank into despair. Their last hope was gone.

"Hahaha, no one can stop me anymore!" Sougo Tokiwa laughed loudly.

"My lord." Woz respectfully offered Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt with both hands.

Tokiwa Sougo instinctively looked down at his waist and discovered that his belt had somehow been stolen.

"The power of Ohma, the power of time and space, and the power of every Rider are all in my hands now." Sougo Tokiwa took Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt. "Now let this dimension be completely destroyed."

Geiz and the many resistance members all wore despairing expressions.

Without their belts, they had no chance of fighting those terrifying Great Demon God Machines.

"It’s not even dark yet, and you’re already dreaming." Raven’s irritating voice rang out, darkening Sougo Tokiwa’s face just as he was celebrating.

He swore he had never hated anything this much before.

The damned bird in front of him had undoubtedly succeeded.

For the first time, he wanted to kill something so badly.

"You have successfully provoked my anger." Sougo Tokiwa looked at Raven. "You will die first."

"You will die first." Raven flawlessly deployed one of the internet’s most hated skills: sarcastic parroting.

"Transform!" Sougo Tokiwa could no longer endure it. He transformed into Kamen Rider Barlckxs.

His exclusive weapon, the Shadow Saber, appeared in his hand.

Data about him surfaced in Raven’s eyes.

Power obtained by using the Time-Space Driver in conjunction with the Barlckxs Ride Watch.

He possessed the powers and form characteristics of Kamen Rider Barlck-RX, Mechanical Knight, and Bio Knight.

The other members of the Time Administration Bureau also transformed one after another, gathering around Sougo Tokiwa.

"Destroy it!" Sougo Tokiwa shouted. "Let this filthy world completely descend into ruin."

"All right, no more playing around. Come out, my Kamen Rider Zi-O summon."

Raven’s body glowed, and an origin source flew out and landed on Tokiwa Sougo.

The moment of blessing! Supreme benevolence! Supreme goodness! The supreme and strongest king! Ohma Zi-O!!

A majestic voice rang out.

A rotating clock and armor appeared beside Tokiwa Sougo.

He transformed into Kamen Rider Zi-O once again, returning to his peak state. He had also successfully broken through his previous restraints and gained the power of the Third Stage of Ride Watches.

Back then, he had barely mastered the power of the Second Stage when Swords forced him into his Ohma form, preventing him from ever mastering the power of the Third Stage of Ride Watches.

Now, with Raven’s help, not only had he transformed without a transformation driver, but he had also gained the power of the Third Stage. He was even stronger and more invincible than before.

With just one move, every Great Demon God Machine floating in the sky was destroyed.

"Your king has returned." Kamen Rider Zi-O stood in the air, looking down upon the Time Administration Bureau and the resistance members.

Seeing Kamen Rider Zi-O holding the Ultimate Saber, Sougo Tokiwa, who had been shouting arrogantly moments ago, instantly fell silent.

"How is this possible?" Sougo Tokiwa’s face turned deathly pale.

"Keep shouting." Raven landed on Kamen Rider Zi-O’s shoulder and looked at Sougo Tokiwa. "Weren’t you going to kill me? Come on, then. Come on."

"How obnoxious."

Emperor, Waldo, Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and the many resistance members all came to the same conclusion.

Sougo Tokiwa trembled with rage, but before Kamen Rider Zi-O, he did not dare act recklessly.

"You win this time. One day, we will return."

Sougo Tokiwa and his subordinates turned into streaks of light and shot away, intending to flee into another dimension.

But the next second, time reversed, bringing them back to their original positions.

Sougo Tokiwa’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated the power of time and space again to escape.

But the next second, he was dragged back again.

"You just said goodbye. Why did you come back?" Raven teased. "Couldn’t bear to leave us?"

Sougo Tokiwa: "."

He wanted to cough up blood—lots and lots of blood.

This was too damn infuriating.

He couldn’t win a fight, and he couldn’t run away either.

Looking at the Ultimate Saber in Kamen Rider Zi-O’s hand, Sougo Tokiwa dropped to his knees with a thud.

"I’m sorry. I spoke too loudly earlier. I hope you can forgive my disrespect."

Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and the many resistance members widened their eyes at the sight.

Sougo Tokiwa, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, had just knelt down like that??

"It’s fine. I’m a very magnanimous person. Just be more careful in your next life."

Raven’s words filled Sougo Tokiwa with joy, and he thought he was being spared.

But when he carefully considered those words, terror instantly appeared on his face.

At that moment, Kamen Rider Zi-O had already charged over. With a swing of the Ultimate Saber, he cut off Sougo Tokiwa’s head along with those of his many subordinates.

Sougo Tokiwa’s head hit the ground, and the chaos finally came to an end.

After learning the truth, the resistance members apologized to Kamen Rider Zi-O.

"A king should bear these burdens. You don’t need to apologize." Tokiwa Sougo waved a hand, showing that he did not hold it against them.

"You cannot willingly abandon the present because you fear the future. Let people choose their own paths for the future. A king’s duty is to protect them, not make choices for them."

Raven had Tokiwa Sougo stop prohibiting humanity’s technological development and let everything return to its proper course.

"I plan to give it up."

Tokiwa Sougo said something that shocked everyone.

After all, becoming king had been his motivation for obtaining Ohma’s power.

Yet now, he was saying he would give it up.

Tokiwa Sougo ignored everyone’s shocked gazes and looked at Raven instead.

"Please allow me to follow you, Mr. Raven. I have caused this world far too much harm. I need to learn how to empathize and how to become a qualified king."

Raven sized up Kamen Rider Zi-O. Considering that his Spacetime City also needed people, he nodded.

"Then come along. I’ll teach you properly how to become a king. After all, that’s one of my strengths."

Tokiwa Sougo’s decision to follow Raven instantly increased the change to the predetermined fate by five percent.

After all, Kamen Rider Zi-O was one of the strongest beings in the Kamen Rider Universe.

He bid farewell to Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and the others, wishing them luck in creating a beautiful world.

Raven opened a time-space gate and took Emperor, Waldo, and Tokiwa Sougo to another dimension.

Kamen Rider Universe, Gatchard Dimension.

"Damn it."

Honoo Sakura was knocked to the ground by several enemies.

He was Kamen Rider Regad.

A Kamen Rider who possessed the power of Legendary Riders and carried the mission of spreading the legacy of Kamen Riders.

Due to some unforeseen changes, he had lost his power.

The enemies walked over, raised their swords, and prepared to kill this legendary Rider.

At that moment, a portal of light appeared.

A dignified voice rang out.

"Blast Shot."

A barrage of bullets fired from within, making the enemies scream.

Honoo Sakura was also pulled into a strange space.

"Long time no see, kid."

A man appeared behind Honoo Sakura.

It was the legendary Kamen Rider, Decade.

He possessed the ability to travel through different dimensions and copy other Riders, transforming to deal with different crises.

At the same time, he possessed terrifying offensive and defensive abilities, with skills such as sword-energy slashes, storm shots, rocket launchers, shadow clones, Rider Punches, shield launches, and invisibility.

He could survive in outer space, absolute-zero temperatures, and extremely high-temperature environments, and could protect himself from electromagnetic waves such as electron and proton radiation.

His eyes could detect movements within the gaps between parallel dimensions and also possessed night vision.

His combat strength was exceptionally formidable.

"Tsukasa Kadoya?" Honoo Sakura was somewhat surprised. He walked over and stared at him in astonishment. "Why are you here?"

"Nothing much. I was just passing through." Tsukasa Kadoya spread his hands and said indifferently, "Just like before."

"I have so much I want to say to you." Honoo Sakura said happily. "But right now…"

"I know. You’ve met new companions." Tsukasa Kadoya returned a photo of Honoo Sakura to him. It had transformed from his Rider Card.

Honoo Sakura looked at the photo, then at the friend and senior he had not seen for many days.

Tsukasa Kadoya smiled. "Let me see what your so-called legend, Regad, really is."

"Well said. I want to see it too."

An abrupt voice rang out.

Honoo Sakura and Tsukasa Kadoya both looked surprised as they turned toward it.

They discovered that three people and a bird had appeared beside them at some point.

And it was that bird that had spoken just now.

"Interesting." Tsukasa Kadoya tilted his head toward the three and asked Honoo Sakura, "Are they your companions?"

Honoo Sakura shook his head. "No, they aren’t."

"Then they’re enemies." Tsukasa Kadoya’s lips curled up as he took out a Rider Card and prepared to transform.

"I wouldn’t advise that." Raven said.

"What is it? Scared? If you’re scared, then don’t go sneaking around." Tsukasa Kadoya said.

Raven shook his head. "I’m afraid you’ll get beaten until you cry, and then you’ll be hard to comfort."

Tsukasa Kadoya: "."

Honoo Sakura: "."

What the hell kind of thing was that to say?!

The mighty Decade would get beaten until he cried?

What kind of interstellar joke was that?

"Then let’s see who gets beaten until they cry." Tsukasa Kadoya inserted the Rider Card into his driver. "Transform."

"I’m just a Kamen Rider passing through. Remember that."

Accompanied by a resounding voice, armor appeared over Tsukasa Kadoya’s body as he transformed into Decade.

Before Waldo could make a move, Tokiwa Sougo stepped forward and slapped the driver at his waist.

"I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting Mr. Raven. If you wish to offend him, then prepare to be punished."

The moment of blessing! Supreme benevolence! Supreme goodness! The king of supreme heights and supreme strength! Kamen Rider Zi-O!!

Accompanied by a resounding voice, Tokiwa Sougo transformed into Kamen Rider Zi-O.

"What an overwhelming presence." Honoo Sakura looked at Kamen Rider Zi-O in surprise, feeling a sense of dread, as though a subject had beheld a noble king.

"I heard that among countless dimensions, there was a king of time who gathered the powers of many Riders. That must be you." Decade looked at Kamen Rider Zi-O and recognized his identity.

"That’s right." Kamen Rider Zi-O did not deny it.

"A Legendary Rider as powerful as you is actually willing to become a bird’s lackey. How pitiful. I’ll defeat you and bring this legend to an end."

Decade took out a card. "Azure Dragon Form."

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, Decade’s armor changed. Then, a staff wrapped in dragon patterns appeared in his hand.

"Foolish." Kamen Rider Zi-O drew the Ultimate Saber. He could transform into other forms as well, but he disdained doing so.

In the past, he might have put on some flashy display.

Now, there was no need.

"They’re here."

A voice rang out as several armored monsters broke through Decade’s spatial barrier and entered.

Honoo Sakura’s expression turned wary. He took out the card Decade had given him and inserted it into the driver. A resounding voice sounded.

Legead.

Light flashed, and a Kamen Rider whose primary color was gold appeared before them.

"We can’t let you disturb a battle between Riders."

With that, Legead charged at the monsters.

Decade and Kamen Rider Zi-O began fighting as well.
