"Hiss, what exactly is this guy's background? That dodge just now was so fast I couldn't see it at all, and that strength, it's unbelievably powerful!"
Shotaro Hidari stood up painfully. From their brief exchange just now, he already understood the gap between them. He felt as if he couldn't find any hope.
Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai didn't speak, but walked directly towards Kamen Rider W.
Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai is a Rider from the kamen rider zero-one world. Each character in 'MetsubouJinrai.net' represents a person's name. Although they are Humagears, they possess their own independent consciousness and can individually Henshin into a Kamen Rider.
And this Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai is constructed by the combined consciousness of the four. Its combat ability far surpasses that of the four MetsubouJinrai.net Riders. It can use the weapons of the four Riders, but continuous use of this form will gradually cause MetsubouJinrai.net to lose its original will, turning it into an existence that only engages in destructive behavior.
Its consciousness at this moment is exactly like that; it no longer has the consciousness of the four, but is merely an artificial intelligence Kamen Rider that will destroy anything it sees.
And its stats are extremely terrifying: punch power 59.9 tons, kick power 120.8 tons, jump power 121.1 meters, and a hundred-meter dash speed of 0.6 seconds.
With these stats, Shiraishi Shin's Cronus only has an advantage in punch power, while the other three stats are slightly inferior.
Shotaro Hidari didn't understand. He said, "It's one thing for his origin to be a mystery, but why would a Kamen Rider destroy a city?"
[Luna! Metal!]
The two were in sync, simultaneously switching the Cyclone Joker memory to the Luna Metal memory.

Shotaro Hidari watched the approaching enemy. The metal staff controlled by Philip on the right side whipped out. The normally rigid staff now swung out with extreme flexibility like a whip, striking Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai and producing a shower of sparks. Its hardness remained the same; it did not decrease just because it became flexible enough to whip.
This is the ability of the Luna memory, which allows limbs to stretch and contract freely, much like Luffy's early rubber abilities. Furthermore, the Luna memory of the T2 gaia Memories also possesses the power of duplication.
The attacked individual completely ignored the tickling attacks and continued to advance, despite sparks constantly flying off him, while the attacker, Shotaro Hidari, kept retreating.
"What kind of Monster is this?!"
Shotaro Hidari kept attacking while retreating. He nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Although it was difficult when facing the Turtle Gurongi a few days ago, he didn't feel this sense of powerlessness.
"This... a battle between Kamen Riders? No, one of them must be evil!"
Just then, Tanzaburo Tojima also came running, while others were fleeing, he fearlessly charged forward.
If he saw two unfamiliar Kamen Riders normally, he would definitely be excited, but now he certainly didn't have that thought, because of the surrounding ruins, the casualties, and the battle between the two Riders.
"This doesn't look good. One Rider is getting beaten down. I don't know if the one being beaten is the culprit. I should probably tell Shin about the situation here."
Tanzaburo Tojima knew that he was no match for even the Man-Spider who first appeared, let alone intervene in a battle between Kamen Riders. He was afraid he'd be sent flying by a single blow and would only be a hindrance instead of a help.
Although he was muscular, he wasn't just a reckless brute. At this point, it was best to leave it to the professionals, so he called Shiraishi Shin. He had exchanged contact information with Shiraishi Shin before, and it was coming in handy now.
Meanwhile, Shiraishi Shin and the others had finished their hot spring bath and were holding hands with Shiina Mahiru under the night sky, watching the stars and moon, utterly engrossed in each other, as they were indeed in the throes of a passionate romance.
Especially with what Shiina Mahiru had said to him today, Shiraishi Shin felt an even deeper love for her. Gentle people should be treated gently in return.
"Mahiru, I like you."
Shiraishi Shin's eyes shifted from the stars in the sky to Shiina Mahiru beside him, then slowly lowered his head and leaned in.
"Me too, Shin-kun."
Shiina Mahiru closed her eyes, looking as if she was ready to be plucked.
"Ding-a-ling-ling~"
Just at this critical moment, the ringing in Shiraishi Shin's pocket broke the atmosphere.
"Tsk!"
Shiraishi Shin cursed under his breath. Who was so tactless? He pulled out his phone and saw Tanzaburo Tojima's name in the caller ID.
Why was this guy suddenly calling him? Could it be a Monster in the city?
Because Shiraishi Shin was currently in a rural town, his ability to detect Monster reactions was limited to a certain range centered on him, so he wasn't aware of the situation in the city.
However, even within the detection range, he wouldn't have detected anything, because Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai is not a Monster.
Shiraishi Shin said apologetically, "Sorry, Mahiru, I need to take this call."
Shiina Mahiru shook her head, understandingly saying, "Go ahead and answer. Business is important."
"Mm."
Shiraishi Shin pressed the answer button, and then Tanzaburo Tojima's voice came through. The latter quickly and simply recounted the situation.
It was clearly Kamen Rider W getting severely beaten. As for the purple Rider Tanzaburo Tojima described, he didn't know about that.
"Uncle, switch to video. I want to know the location!"
"Okay!"
Shiraishi Shin's expression was solemn. He quickly switched to video mode and saw what Tanzaburo Tojima's location looked like, then said, "Wait there, this isn't something you can interfere with. I'll be there immediately."
"I understand."
Tanzaburo Tojima naturally knew the gap between himself and Kamen Riders. He could defeat some Shocker Combatmen, but Shocker Combatmen were essentially just cannon fodder. Faced with stronger Monsters and Kamen Riders, he himself was also cannon fodder.
After hanging up, he looked at Shiina Mahiru, who had also gathered the general gist of their conversation.
Shiina Mahiru said worriedly, "Such a big thing happened in the city, but we're not in the city right now. Even if we rush back, it'll be too late!"
Shiraishi Shin pulled out his lost driver and said, "No, it's not too late. The reason I asked Uncle Tanzaburo to show me his location via video is so that once I have a target in mind, I can use my spatial ability to teleport myself there."
"Didn't I say this morning that besides Kamen Rider Cronus, there's also Kamen Rider Eternal? You've seen Cronus; this one now is Eternal!"
Shiina Mahiru stood seriously in front of Shiraishi Shin, watching.
[Eternal!]
Inserting the activated eternal memory into the driver, a large golden 'E' appeared in front of the driver, and golden aura spread outwards in circles.
"Henshin!"
[Eternal!]
As Shiraishi Shin pushed the movable part of the lost driver, and the sound effect played again, a large amount of white fragments covered his body, golden compound eyes glowed, a black eternal robe automatically generated behind him, and blue flame aura erupted.
