The moment he heard the detailed reward…
Yuuto Kagami's eyes snapped open with a shua, disbelief written all over his face.
"Kamen Rider Zi-O?!!"
It wasn't until he saw the Ziku-Driver and Zi-O Ridewatch materialize in his hand that he finally confirmed it.
In that instant, his breathing grew heavy with excitement!
[Treasure from the Myriad Worlds: Kamen Rider Zi-O Transformation Belt / Kamen Rider!]
[Origin: Kamen Rider Zi-O Universe]
[Abilities: By using the Zi-O transformation device, the user can transform into Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Zi-O is the final Heisei-era Kamen Rider, the sovereign of time!
He possesses limitless growth potential!]
[Usage: Equip the Ziku-Driver on the waist, rotate the Zi-O Ridewatch, then insert it into the Driver!]
"I actually drew Zi-O's transformation belt?!"
Yuuto Kagami was ecstatic!
As the 20th-anniversary commemorative work of the Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Zi-O's strength was self-evident.
The treatment, the power scaling—
It was practically like he was Toei's own golden child!
Not only did he wield the power of time, but he could also access the powers of all the legendary Riders!
However…
What truly thrilled Yuuto Kagami wasn't just Zi-O himself.
It was because of Zi-O's alternate form, arguably his ultimate and strongest form—
Oma Zi-O!
The mightiest existence across the entire Kamen Rider multiverse.
Oma Zi-O was the benevolent, supreme, and almighty demon king, wielding the combined power of all Heisei Riders—possibly even all Riders across time. He not only possessed the ability to create space-time but also the overwhelming force to destroy all existence. He was, without question, the divine ruler of the Kamen Rider world.
Time travel, time stop, time reversal.
Causality manipulation, telekinesis, gravity control, gravitational pull.
Creating alternate dimensions, shifting world lines, spatial destruction and reconstruction—
It could be said…
Oma Zi-O was absolutely unbeatable within the Rider universe!
And the reason why Yuuto Kagami was so thrilled…
Was because—
The moment he laid eyes on the Zi-O transformation device, he immediately thought of the reward from his last high-tier lottery draw.
That one item…
The Max-Level Upgrade Card—capable of upgrading any treasure regardless of rank!
"If I use the Max-Level Upgrade Card on the Zi-O Driver… doesn't that mean…"
"It'll turn directly into the Oma Zi-O Driver?!"
At that thought—
Yuuto Kagami's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
With a thought, he summoned—
"Shua!"
A golden card appeared in his hand.
Looking at it, Yuuto Kagami swallowed hard.
"Max-Level Upgrade Card – Target: Kamen Rider Zi-O Transformation Belt!"
He didn't hesitate.
He immediately activated it!
As his words fell, the card shattered into countless golden particles, like a shimmering river of light, pouring directly into the Ziku-Driver and Zi-O Ridewatch.
"It worked!"
Seeing this, Yuuto Kagami couldn't contain his excitement anymore. He clenched his fists hard!
"WOMMMM!!"
Right then—
An explosion of dazzling light burst forth!
It pierced through the entire room, the building, and shot straight up into the sky!
And that wasn't all.
Brilliant rays of golden light lit up the entire dark night sky.
At the same time, a powerful golden energy ripple swept across the globe!
Wherever that ripple passed—
Be it pedestrians on the street, housewives cooking dinner, cars driving through intersections, high-speed trains on the rails, birds soaring through the sky, giant fish swimming deep in the sea, or even microscopic organisms invisible to the naked eye…
Everything. Every last thing.
In that moment—
All of it froze.
And in that frozen world—
Only Yuuto Kagami, and the golden light before him that continued to radiate and evolve, remained in motion.
"This is… the power of Oma Zi-O?"
Yuuto Kagami immediately sensed something was off.
He looked out the window.
His Rinnegan activated to the limit—spotting a passenger jet halted in mid-air.
And numerous birds, suspended motionless in the sky.
"Just the energy leaked during the birth of the Oma Driver… is enough to affect the entire Blue Star!"
Yuuto Kagami was in awe.
Had he not seen it with his own eyes—
Even he wouldn't have believed it.
Then—
He looked down at the ball of golden light in his hands, undergoing an unprecedented metamorphosis.
Within the radiance, he could faintly make out the image of a golden clock.
But after staring for a few seconds—
Yuuto Kagami had to avert his eyes. The brilliance was so intense it became unbearable to look at directly.
As the myriad golden rays gradually faded—
The original Ziku-Driver and Zi-O Ridewatch had completely disappeared.
In their place—
Was a dark gold belt radiating overwhelming majesty and unfathomable power!
At the same time—
The boundless golden energy swiftly retracted!
All the people, vehicles, animals, and life that had frozen in place—resumed as if nothing had happened.
It was as if time had never stopped at all.
"Oma Zi-O Driver!!"
Yuuto Kagami took a deep breath.
He stepped forward and gingerly picked up the belt.
Examining its intricate patterns and overall craftsmanship… he could tell instantly—this thing was leagues more ornate than the "official" Toei version he had played with in his past life!
Even without activating it—
Yuuto Kagami could already sense the terrifying power slumbering within the belt.
[Treasure from the Myriad Worlds: Oma Zi-O Transformation Belt / Kamen Rider!]

"The benevolent, supreme, and almighty demon king…"
Reading the ability list given by the Multiverse Treasure-Hunting System—
Yuuto Kagami couldn't help but pause in awe.
Just as he'd heard—
Psychokinesis, temporal power, spatial manipulation, causality control, even the ability to create from nothing…
Oma Zi-O wielded nearly omnipotent power!
However—
Yuuto Kagami didn't let the excitement get to his head for long.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Because he knew one thing clearly:
Owning the Oma Zi-O Driver didn't mean he could instantly use all of Oma Zi-O's powers.
Just like the Ice-Ice Fruit or the Fish-Fish Fruit he'd obtained before—
Everything required his own development and mastery.
"I wonder how much of Oma Zi-O's power I'll actually be able to harness upon transformation…"
Yuuto Kagami couldn't help but think to himself.
Expecting to instantly gain universe-level strength or world-creating abilities—
Was unrealistic.
But Yuuto Kagami didn't need that level right now. As long as he could achieve star-busting power, that was enough.
However—
Just as he was eagerly about to put on the belt and test out his transformation…
BOOOOM!!
A deafening explosion rocked the ground!
"What the hell?!"
Yuuto Kagami immediately jumped in shock.
He instinctively tried to get up to investigate when—
Riiing!
His phone suddenly rang.
"Whoosh!"
With a wave of his right hand—
The phone flew into his palm from across the room.
Seeing the caller ID, Yuuto Kagami was surprised.
"Li Yayun?"
It was unexpected—
But he still quickly answered the call.
In the next moment—
Li Yayun's anxious voice blared through the phone:
"Mr. Yuuto Kagami! S-Something's happened again!!"
"Something happened?"
Hearing that—
Yuuto Kagami immediately thought of the tremor just now.
Sure enough—
Li Yayun continued, "Mr. Yuuto Kagami, a giant monster has appeared in the city center! It's rampaging through the city and attacking civilians! We can't stop it!"
"You're the only one who can help us now!"
"Giant monster?"
Yuuto Kagami's brows furrowed.
A hundred thoughts raced through his mind.
Li Yayun had already witnessed the Demon Serpent and his Azure Dragon form before. Her vision and mental resilience had greatly improved since then.
But for her to call this thing "giant" and to sound this panicked…
What kind of terrifying creature was it?
Yuuto Kagami looked down at the golden Oma Zi-O Driver in his hands.
Feeling the boundless power surging through it—
His once agitated heart suddenly calmed down.
He responded quickly:
"I'm on my way!"
No matter what kind of monster it was—
With the Oma Zi-O Driver in hand—
He was confident he could take it down!
Right after hanging up—
Yuuto Kagami opened a Dimensional Door, took one step forward—
And instantly appeared in the heart of the city.
