Kamen Rider: Killer Whale
A black and white armor with a dual texture of plastic and metal enveloped Feng Xue's body. A gel-like substance wrapped around the simple armor, and suddenly a phantom of an orca leaped out of the beaker and slammed into Feng Xue's body.
The beaker, gel, and metal support all shattered at that moment, replaced by Kamen Rider with translucent wave-like features, dorsal fins, and stripes.
"POOOOOOWER!"
"KILLER WHALE IN WEIGHT-D? KILLER WHALE POWER - Deep Sea Pressure Form?" Feng Xue clenched her fist, producing a crisp sound. It wasn't the soft sound of knuckles rubbing together, but rather the explosive roar of air being compressed and ignited in her palm.
Wearing this armor, however, felt completely weightless; to Feng Xue, it was like wearing a slightly thicker garment. Meanwhile, in his field of vision, various pieces of information flashed across a virtual screen—
That wasn't the kind of battlefield analysis found in the original work, but rather the user manual and operating instructions for this toy.
"This power amplification... Are 22nd Century kids really that terrifying?"
As Weird Tale that holds the rules of [Martial], Feng Xue can clearly feel the changes in his power. In his Kamen Rider form, his physical attributes have increased at least threefold. To give a simple example, with the blessing of the Scales Supernatural Tale, he can now finally draw a bow with a weight of 300 stones!
"If combined with martial arts techniques, the force of this punch could probably exceed twenty tons!" Feng Xue swung her arm, and just by hearing the sound of the air being torn like cloth, she knew that this strike could definitely achieve that kind of fantastical, exaggerated effect where the head flies off but the person is still standing in the same place.
Compared to strength, the increase in speed is much smaller. Without considering the enhancement of lightness skills, it can reach a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, which is about 3.5 seconds to run 100 meters.
"Although the stats don't seem to have improved dramatically, in actual combat, disregarding the effects of Phantom Object counters and the potential for explosive power in Basic Fist Technique, I could probably beat a hundred of my former self..."
Feng Xue estimated how much damage she could inflict with her Basic Fist Technique and ultimately decided that it was definitely not a skill suitable for demonstration in this kind of place.
"There are still two layers of guards left in the Tower of Babel that I haven't challenged yet. I'll test its power in the Trial Space later." Feng Xue suppressed her excited urge to attack, went to the full-length mirror in the bedroom, and her expression suddenly stiffened slightly—
"Damn! Why does this have the style of an honest person?!"
Feng Xue stared wide-eyed at the handsome knight look in the mirror, but a hint of disdain appeared on her face.
To be fair, compared to the Kamen Rider series' consistently outrageous designs that challenge the audience's aesthetic sensibilities, this design is definitely one that everyone would find appealing, regardless of whether they've ever watched Kamen Rider.
The Main Body is black and white, while the shoulder and chest armor with wave elements are Deep Blue. The helmet incorporates the design of an orca, and its shape looks like an orca pouncing downwards. The dorsal fin extends forward from the forehead, and the pectoral fins extend to the side and backwards. The two white spots on the orca's head form the eyes, giving the impression of being looked down from above.
If there was anything wrong with it, it was that the black leather pants had two white patches on the inner thighs, which always reminded him of Skadi's open-crotch pants.
But none of that really matters. What's important is that the design style of this thing, compared to the two squeeze bottle guys, Ryuga and Red Daddy, is more like that of an honest person.
"Forget it, as long as it's powerful enough, what's wrong with being an honest person? Honest people can still find partners!" Feng Xue shook her head, banishing the distracting thoughts from her mind, and continued reading the instruction manual.
As the description says, this is just a toy. Although it has very cool special moves, they are just light and shadow effects and do not actually increase the power of punches and kicks. What's even more speechless is that it has an Anti-Addiction system, which only allows you to accumulate one hour of transformation per day, and any unused time cannot be carried over to the next day.
"Anyway, it works well, that's all that matters." Feng Xue pulled out the energy bottle and issued the command to exit the transformation. The armor on her body quickly returned to the Transformation Belt like fluid. When Feng Xue canceled the power again, the jelly bottle returned to its blank state.
"I wonder if filling this gel bottle with Internal Force or fairy-attribute energy would allow me to transform..."
Feng Xue pulled out a blank gel bottle, and many new ideas came to mind, so she started playing... cough cough, I mean, experimenting again.
An hour later, after trying everything she could put into the jelly bottle, Feng Xue finally ran out of transformation time.
Based on the experimental results, none of Feng Xue's abilities, except for the [Orca] authority, could cause a qualitative change in the energy bottle, thus preventing the development of new Kamen Rider forms. However, if she injected Killing intent, Internal Force, fairy energy, or similar powers into the jelly bottle while in her transformed state, she could generate corresponding finishing moves. But as mentioned before, this thing is just a toy, and the finishing moves only have visual effects without any actual enhancement.
However, based on Feng Xue's tests, these generated ultimate skills were very well-suited to the power she infused with. If she followed the logic of those ultimate skills, Feng Xue was confident that she could develop the corresponding "martial arts".
Feng Xue was quite happy to have acquired new toys and equipment, but unfortunately, his transformation time had already run out, so he had no choice but to calm down.
With three months until the Tower of Babel challenge month, he plans to use this time to hone his strength and State of Mind —in short, he's preparing for seclusion...
"A teahouse by the roadside... a figure..."
Upon hearing her own cover of the ringtone, Feng Xue immediately took out her phone. Looking at the unchanging screen, she realized she was in Infinite City. She then took out her employee ID card, which displayed the name "Old Li."
"Hello? What's wrong?" Feng Xue squinted and answered the call. Old Li's gloating voice immediately rang out:
"Dead! Dead again!"
"Who died... Oh, those Real Worlder delegation?" Feng Xue paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, while Old Li said excitedly:
"That's right, good heavens, you have no idea, things are in complete chaos here, there are over a dozen major Omen!"
"Wait a minute? A dozen or so? Aren't there dozens of people?" Feng Xue immediately noticed the blind spot, and Old Li immediately said:
"There were definitely dozens of people, but there were quite a few Weird Tale present this time. Although I don't know how Hundred Tales managed to kill the Real Worlder under these circumstances, at least half of them were saved. However, the person in charge died, and the rest of them look like ordinary soldiers. Nobody knows how much use they are."
"Then why did you call me?" Feng Xue frowned, thinking that this guy probably didn't want to drag her into kidnapping someone, but then she heard Old Li say:
"Hehe, I just ran into a lost soldier. He said that in the real world, there's a super Weird Tale in Yan Kingdom that 'Yan Country People Know Martial Arts'!"
"..." Feng Xue's eyebrows twitched, and she frowned, saying, "What does this have to do with us?"
"Hehe, stop pretending..."
Upon hearing Old Li's words, Feng Xue almost hung up the call, but then he heard Old Li continue:
"You must be from Yan Kingdom too, right? Don't worry, I am too. Yan Kingdom exists in many parallel worlds. You know, if these kinds of Group Supernatural Tale meet the criteria, you can draw power from them. Although you can't be resurrected through them, martial arts can greatly enhance your Combat Power. I've already invited a lot of 'fellow countrymen' to go to the real world to experience these Weird Tale. Do you want to come along?"
Some people may wonder why the protagonist's speed and punch speed are only 100km/h, but this is actually due to a lack of familiarity with the physical quantities.
In reality, even with a 100-fold increase in physical attributes, speed can only increase by 10 times. This is assuming that vulnerable parts such as internal organs and eyeballs can withstand the acceleration. However, since the protagonist is wearing armor, it is assumed that he can withstand it.
Moreover, the speed boost from Kamen Rider transformations is minimal; with punches of 20-30 tons each, a running speed of only about 4-5 seconds is equivalent to 100 meters.
From this perspective, the power output of Katsumi Guji's supersonic punch is truly outrageous... According to the kinetic energy formula, the power output of that punch theoretically exceeds the explosive force of one kilogram of TNT.
If you think that's too little, let's put it another way: this power could move a 100-kilogram object 4.2 kilometers (though in reality, drag would make it much less). Good heavens, this kind of power concentrated on the surface of a fist, which is at most 100 square centimeters, how did Pique manage not to be punched through and only fly five or six meters? What makes Miyamoto Musashi's sword capable of cutting through such solid flesh?
The creatures in Baki's world are indeed monsters...
Conservative estimates suggest they are all at the level of chimera ants.
