The azure energy flow, like a surging river, enveloped him.
The glittering golden lightning transformed into a giant hammer, striking his body.
Armor interwoven with azure and shimmering gold covered his entire body, with golden arcs of electricity flashing at the joints of each piece of armor.
Storms and clouds gathered behind him, transforming into a pair of enormous and magnificent wings. With a gentle flap, they stirred up endless waves of air.
Kamen Rider 01: Awakening Hopper Form descends once more!
He wasn't standing on the ground, but rather hovering quietly in mid-air.
He and that terrifying, sky-covering dragon formed a stark and epic confrontation.
On one side is the "fear" that is man-made and originates from the deepest darkness within the heart.
On the other side is the supreme "Heavenly Majesty," representing the universe, nature, and unparalleled power.
A battle between gods and demons has officially begun!
Chapter 100: Instant Kill! Awakening to the Power of the Locusts! An Overwhelming Difference in Strength
Facing the colossal energy dragon that loomed in the sky, whose very existence was enough to twist people's hearts and spread endless fear, Su Chen, who had transformed into an enlightened locust, did not even show the slightest ripple on his face.
He didn't adopt any fighting stance.
He hovered silently in mid-air, gazing indifferently at this "masterpiece" constructed of pure negative energy with an almost godlike eye for a flawed object.
That gaze was calm, yet it contained an overwhelming contempt.
"Roar--!"
The energy-based core of the fear dragon seemed to be thoroughly enraged by Su Chen's godlike attitude of looking down on ants.
It let out a deafening roar powerful enough to shatter glass and tear eardrums.
The malice contained in that roar transformed into an invisible shock, causing both Wakana Sonozaki and Yua Yaiba, who were in the distance, to feel a shiver originating from the depths of their souls.
With a roar, the dragon unleashed its destructive energy, which had been gathered to its limit and was powerful enough to flatten a small mountain range in an instant!
A jet-black, viscous beam of energy, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, burst forth from the dragon's mouth.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was instantly torn apart and evaporated, emitting a teeth-grinding shriek, leaving behind a vacuum trail that lingered for a long time.
It was filled with destruction, despair, and a terrifying atmosphere that could plunge any living being into an eternal nightmare.
Its target was that tiny figure suspended in the air, as insignificant as a speck of dust.
"careful!"
Behind them, Wakana and Yua Yaiba, almost instinctively, simultaneously let out a gasp filled with tension and concern.
Their bodies were tense with fear, and their hearts felt like they were about to jump out of their throats.
However, Su Chen 19 still did not move.
He just watched quietly as the energy beam drew ever closer, powerful enough to destroy everything in front of him.
Those golden compound eyes reflected not fear, nor solemnity, but an extreme serenity, as if appreciating a fireworks display that had nothing to do with oneself.
The beam of light was getting closer and closer.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
The scorching heat from the destructive energy had already ruffled the hair on his forehead.
Just as that dark pillar of light was less than ten meters away from him, about to completely engulf and annihilate him in the next instant.
Su Chen finally made a move.
He did not choose to dodge.
He did not attempt to block.
He didn't even activate any defensive capabilities.
He simply, very slowly and very casually, raised his right hand.
My index finger gently pointed to the dim sky.
It was an incredibly simple, everyday action.
It's as simple as pointing to a cloud on the horizon.
But such a simple action seemed to pull the trigger of the entire world's operation, invoking the most fundamental and supreme laws of heaven and earth.
In an instant, the situation changed!
The sky, which was originally just covered with dark clouds, suddenly turned pitch black, as if the entire sky had been splashed with a layer of thick, indissoluble ink.
Darkness enveloped the earth.
Immediately afterwards, within the endless dark clouds, countless dazzling golden lightning bolts, like countless awakened ancient golden dragons, were churning wildly, roaring silently, and rapidly converging!
The crackling lightning illuminated the entire sky, making it appear and disappear intermittently.
The entire world trembled and shuddered at the impending supreme divine punishment!
"fall."
Su Chen uttered a single word softly.
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, carrying an unquestionable and absolute authority.
The moment the words fell.
"Boom—!"
A bolt of golden divine lightning, several times thicker than the body of the terrifying dragon, seemingly capable of cleaving the entire sky in two, so enormous it defied description, descended from the pitch-black clouds with the wrath of a god and the majestic might to judge all evil in the world.
The intense lightning instantly dispelled all the darkness.
It also illuminated the face below, which was filled with extreme shock, horror, and disbelief.
The speed of that divine lightning bolt completely exceeded the scope of human senses, and even surpassed the passage of time.
It arrived first despite starting later.
Just before the dark energy breath was about to hit Su Chen, it struck the huge and ferocious dragon head with perfect precision!
There was no earth-shattering, violent explosion.
There were no heart-wrenching, agonizing cries.
The moment it was struck by the golden divine lightning containing the supreme law, the once invincible dragon, composed of pure fear energy, became as pale as snow illuminated by the first rays of dawn.
Starting from the head, it melts and disintegrates rapidly and silently!
The pitch-black energy, under the golden lightning, was directly decomposed into its most primitive particles, and then completely returned to nothingness.
Just one second.
It didn't even take a second.
The terrifying dragon that once blotted out the sky and filled Wakana and Yua with despair was completely and utterly evaporated under the blazing heavenly thunder, turning into nothingness.
It was as if... it had never existed in this world.
Instant kill!
A complete, utterly unreasonable, and divinely ordained instant kill!
Realize the power of locusts; they are terrifying indeed!
When that terrifying dragon, powerful enough to blot out the sun, was struck by the thunderous lightning, it was completely evaporated and turned into nothingness without even uttering the faintest wail.
The entire world was instantly stripped of all sound, plunging into a suffocating, absolute silence.
The lingering electric arc emitted a faint "sizzling" sound in the air, mixed with a pungent ozone smell—the only aftereffect of Shenwei's power.
The three female knights behind him had already stopped breathing.
Their pupils contracted sharply as they reflected the apocalyptic lightning. At that moment, they just stared blankly at that tall, upright figure, their minds a complete blank, unable to form any coherent words.
As the instigator of all this, Sonozaki Ryubei, who had transformed into a being of fear, was completely frozen in place.
He was like a statue cursed with eternal petrification.
In those eyes that once burned with hellfire, all arrogance and tyranny were drained away, leaving only a boundless, deep-seated fear...
He couldn't understand.
He couldn't understand it at all.
The ultimate embodiment of fear that I pursued my entire life, the one I believed to have reached the pinnacle of, the one that could make the entire wind tremble eternally—why...?
Why was he completely wiped out with such a casual strike?!
This is not a difference in strength at all.
This is an absolute and undeniable crushing defeat on a life-level scale!
"No...impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
The brief silence was shattered by a hysterical roar.
The unimaginable scene before her completely overwhelmed Sonozaki Ryubei, shattering her last shred of reason.
"My fear! Is invincible!"
He let out a beastly roar, personally driving the thick, inky power of fear within his body, and launched a final, fierce attack on Su Chen.
His figure exploded on the spot, turning into a jet-black lightning bolt that could not be seen with the naked eye.
The sharp, giant claws were wrapped with materialized energy powerful enough to drag a person's soul into an eternal nightmare. They tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and viciously clawed at Su Chen's heart!
However, faced with this final act of madness, Su Chen simply shook his head calmly.
There wasn't even the slightest ripple on his face.
He didn't even use any weather power; he simply raised his hand casually.
That hand, its movements seemingly slow and elegant, defied the constraints of time, striking first despite being slower, and effortlessly seizing Sonozaki Ryubei's invincible claws.
