At dawn, the sunlight streamed through the window and into the quiet room.
He put on black gloves, zipped up his uniform, and loaded the magazine into the Victory Hyper rifle's magazine well.
Then, Li Xiang resolutely opened the door and ran outside.
The citizens on the streets were evacuated by the authorities last night.
The deep space exploration team collaborated with Lu Mofei and others, so they informed countries around the world in advance, allowing humans to take timely protection and evacuation measures, and the military also made war preparations.
The fighter jets flying overhead last night are proof of that.
So now, because this world has been riddled with holes by penworms, monsters from various parallel universes have come to this world and are causing chaos on the streets.
—Burning streets!
"Fire! The shelter is right behind us, we can't let these monsters get close!"
Gunfire echoed through the city.
Overnight, human creations, those skyscrapers, were turned into a sea of fire.
Human armies are stationed along the only route to the shelter, blocking monsters that want to attack it.
At first, the monsters were relatively weak and could be eliminated by conventional artillery. However, the monsters gradually became stronger, and more powerful enemies came to this world through wormholes.
Fortunately, thanks to advance notice from Lu Mofei and the deep space exploration team, humanity was able to evacuate the population and establish a defense line immediately.
Even so, the even more powerful monsters are beyond the capabilities of humans.
In the burning city, a figure crawling on all fours appeared before the defense forces.
That was... a huge lizard!
"Warning! Unknown anomaly 682 has appeared in the neighborhood!"
The defense forces immediately compared the monster before them with the data provided by the deep space exploration team, and the result was that it was extremely dangerous, number 682.
Unknown Anomalies: All items and creatures that come to this world from other worlds are called anomalies. Among them, unknown anomalies refer to the multiverse data provided by Lu Mofei or similar beings who are willing to ally with the Deep Space Exploration Team. Those that have not been confirmed to have come to this world but exist in the data are collectively referred to as anomalies.
682, on the other hand, is an extremely powerful and troublesome entity even among unknown anomalies.
It appears as a giant reptile, hostile to almost all life, and extremely resilient!
Upon seeing the defense force, 682 charged towards them almost without hesitation, his jaws agape.
"Fire! Focus fire!"
A hail of bullets rained down on 682, but not even a scratch.
The defense forces wanted to use large-caliber weapons, but it was too late, because 682 was rushing too fast and was already right in front of them amidst a hail of bullets.
"Damn it! Support! I need support!"
Seeing that conventional firepower was ineffective against 682, the defense force immediately requested support from headquarters.
Of course, these frontline soldiers knew that even if reinforcements arrived, they would be killed by 682 first.
Or rather, they weren't even thinking about surviving. When 682 rushed up, they planned to detonate the bomb and perish together with 682.
The support troops will become the new defensive force on this front.
Gunfire continued unabated, and from the shelter behind them, the faint sound of children crying could be heard.
—At this critical moment—several laser bullets struck behind 682.
Under the high-temperature laser, 682's skin was finally broken, revealing the flesh inside. 682 felt excruciating pain, stopped charging, and turned to look behind it.
A man in a white uniform was seen firing a strange handgun at 682.
Of course, although it can break the skin, the effect is generally not very good.
682 had no brains and, due to its natural hostility towards living beings, it charged towards Li Xiang.
"That's it, you bastard, your enemy is me... Holy crap, so fast!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Li Xiang turned around and started to run away.
Meanwhile, the defense troops not far away watched as Li Xiang and 682 headed into the city.
"Continue to organize the defenses, keep going!"
The frontline commander, carrying a general-purpose machine gun, loudly issued orders.
He was grateful to the stranger who suddenly appeared and attracted 682 away, but there was no time to be grateful now; he had to continue protecting the world!
Meanwhile, Li Xiang was leaping and bounding through the building while firing his Victory Hyper rifle at 682 behind him.
682, on the other hand, relied on his own body to withstand the gunfire, smashing the building open and chasing after Li Xiang.
Before long, Li Xiang found himself in a dead end—a high wall blocked his way.
Li Xiang turned around and continued firing at the incoming 682... but bad things kept happening, and the Victory Hyper gun finally ran out of ammunition.
"Out of ammo?" Li Xiang pulled the trigger a few more times, then drew his tactical knife without hesitation. "I'll fight you to the death!"
Facing an ordinary soldier's knife, the 682, which even the Victory Hyper rifle couldn't damage, was even less of a threat.
682, with its massive body, crushed towards Li Xiang—
"Rumble--"
A screeching motorcycle engine roared from the alleyway entrance, and then a red motorcycle soared into the air, smashing 682 directly into the air, flying over Li Xiang's head and crashing into the high wall behind Li Xiang.
"This is...you..."
Li Xiang looked at the person on the motorcycle, who had taken off his helmet.
"Master Wudai!"
"Long time no see, Xiang!"
Wu Dai greeted Li Xiang, then came to Li Xiang's side and shielded him behind him.
"Leave this place to me, you go quickly! There are people waiting for you."
"But that monster..."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it!"
As Wudai spoke, he spread his arms and then gathered them at his waist, and a peculiar belt appeared.
"That's... a belt?" Li Xiang looked on curiously.
"Yes, because I am Kamen Rider! Watch closely—my transformation!"
In an instant, red muscle armor was donned on the fifth generation.
That's Kamen Rider KUUGA.
Seeing this, Li Xiang understood that the battle here should be left to Godai...Kuuga!
"Then, I'll leave this place to you!"
After saying that, Li Xiang turned around and continued running.
As for Kuuga, he faced the newly risen 682 and then cautiously took a few steps back.
Then, with a powerful push from both feet, he leaped high into the air—
"Knight Kick—!!!"
Chapter 210 Heroes (2)
Run, run!
Li Xiang, run!
The city is burning, the world is collapsing!
Kill him! Don't let him live!
While being held back by Lü Mofei, Pen Bug saw Li Xiang put on the Victory Team uniform and pick up the pistol to defeat the enemy.
It finally became afraid.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
It wants to kill that human.
That human named Li Xiang.
So, the pen-worm's companions also took action.
Li Xiang ran through the crumbling city, searching for something.
Go find the Ultra Star that you promised Mr. Tsuburaya.
And before him appeared a special being.
A cloud of red mist—the Crimson King!
It is a metaphysical concept born from humanity's anger at the alienation of modern society and its yearning for primal wildness, manifested as a collection of irreconcilable tensions between pre-modern and modern times.
A primal urge to destroy, carrying immense power, surged toward the running Li Xiang.
But... the crisp sound of horses' hooves rang out!
"My charge is Don Quixote's charge!"
A thin old man, riding an equally thin horse, thrust his spear at the Crimson King!
There are giants! Over there!
[With arms six feet long and grinding his teeth, I swear I'll wipe him off the face of the earth!]
【ah! ! ! 】
Li Xiang kept running, kept running.
With gratitude for the old knight who had helped, I continued running.
The city begins to fold, becoming scrolls of books.
The pages of the book turned, as if trying to stop Li Xiang and prevent him from pursuing the Ultra Star.
An abstract butterfly appears in the sky.
