Kamen Rider Is Real!
Completely bewildered that he hadn't expected to kill this big guy Feng Xue was stunned. However, the explosion from afar brought him back to his senses. Whether the sound was a trick by Old Li or a feint by Hundred Tales and other cadres, it was no longer relevant to him.
Using the identification panel of the Golden Finger, Feng Xue glanced at a string of words, then immediately reached out and scooped up a cane that appeared to be made entirely of coral from the water.
Name: Phantom Object - Sea Monk's Coral Staff
Elements: [Ocean], [Weapons], [Spells], [Replicas], [Adaptability]
Description: The weapon wielded by the yokai known as Sea Monk is essentially a piece of living coral. It has the ability to change size according to its master's will, and countless coral polyps can work in tandem with the master to amplify the power of spells or perform multiple spells.
Note: This is a living staff; please do not leave it out of the water for extended periods.
"It seems quite useful, but it doesn't seem that useful..." Feng Xue took a water bottle from her bag, filled it with some seawater, stuffed the shrunken coral staff into it, and then got up and walked towards Chinatown.
Although wearing armor would waste some dressing time, Feng Xue felt it was worthwhile considering the continuous flow of [Knowledge] and the increasingly powerful [Tag].
Looking around, Feng Xue spotted a motorcycle that had been swept to the side of the road by the tsunami. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she activated her Orca Authority, and the motorcycle instantly transformed into an Orca-themed itasha (decorated car) with a distinctly Kamen Rider vibe.
As the engine roared and many children cheered, "Kamen Rider is real," the pressure fell on Ultraman's side.
But what Feng Xue didn't know was that the impact of Kamen Rider went far beyond that...
At the CSA headquarters in Colombia, the events that occurred in Pradamia were being projected onto a large screen in their entirety. A man wearing square-rimmed glasses, who appeared to be an office worker, was summarizing the events.
"When Sea Monk caused a tsunami to attract attention, our 'gatekeeper' force was attacked, and all two hundred people, including the Door Pusher, were killed. Based on the traces at the scene, it is speculated that it was a monster called 'Kamaitachi'."
"The door has been forcibly closed. Although we still have a certain number of soldiers inside, with communications cut off, we cannot guarantee whether the plan can be implemented smoothly, or whether the next door will appear in Prandamere."
"Furthermore, on the southern coast of Pradamia, Sea Monk was defeated by a strange entity resembling a 'Kamen Rider,' and its fate is unknown. According to eyewitness accounts, this 'Kamen Rider' left towards the west of the West District after defeating Sea Monk, which is Triad territory. It is currently uncertain whether the other party is related to Yan Kingdom."
"Gentlemen, what do you think?" The bald man, who had once discussed the Trojan Horse Plan with William, sat at the head of the table, frowning. His subordinates fell silent for a moment.
After this awkward atmosphere lasted for several seconds, a relatively young man raised his hand and said:
"Kamen Rider... I remember it's a tokusatsu drama from the East. Does anyone know anything about it?"
The man who had reported the situation earlier seemed somewhat prepared, and immediately switched the image on the projection screen to introduce it:
"Kamen Rider is a traditional tokusatsu drama from the East. Initially, it was a tokusatsu series about cyborgs transforming into Kamen Riders using special Transformation Belt to fight against evil organizations. Since 2000, the content of Heisei-era Kamen Rider has begun to change, including but not limited to villains no longer being limited to evil organizations and the fact that only cyborgs can become Kamen Rider, but the concept of Enemy and Ally Share the Same Origin has been retained..."
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a man interrupted the explanation of the setting and asked a question:
"Please explain in detail Enemy and Ally Share the Same Origin."
"Just as the name suggests, the source of power for Kamen Rider and the opposing forces is the same." The commentator did not add any subjective statement, but almost simultaneously, many people in the audience showed thoughtful expressions.
And the person who had previously called for a halt stated with certainty:
"That's it! There must be members of the Eastern Resistance within the Kamen Rider team. They're subtly telling the world how to fight monsters! No, they're creating weapons for humanity to fight monsters! Who is its creator? Where is he? We must protect him! And we must also obtain the Kamen Rider technology!"
"Um, Mr. Keane, I regret to inform you that the original creator of the Kamen Rider series has passed away." The guide reminded him awkwardly but politely. The man called Keane, however, showed no embarrassment and replied seriously:
"He must have been killed by Hundred Tales! We must avenge this venerable predecessor, and his legacy must be taken seriously! I propose that this year's trip to the Eastern Kingdom should increase the proportion of elite agents, with the main objective being the distribution company of Kamen Rider... In addition, the related industries also need to be investigated..."
"Who exactly leaked the 'Kamen Rider' project?" In the meeting room of a certain Weird Tale resistance organization in the Eastern Country, a serious-looking man pointed at the poorly resolution online video and roared angrily in a low voice.
"Tsuchimikado, this is not the Kamen Rider System we developed. Its level of completion is clearly much higher than ours." The scholarly-looking man pointed to the unclear S-Clash Driver in the video and explained:
"The other party's driving method is to inject the substance in the bottle into the Transformation Belt by squeezing it. Although the specific principle is unknown, it can be roughly inferred that the bottle is filled with a high concentration of Weird Tale factor, which is temporarily solidified through some kind of information compilation. This is a huge waste of Weird Tale factor..."
"I don't care how he achieved it, I just want to know when our own Kamen Rider System will finally be ready to produce a finished product?" The man called Tsuchimikado interrupted the theoretical explanation, while the scholarly-looking man who seemed to be a researcher shook his head and said:
"Unlike other countries, we are in a weaker position, making it extremely difficult to collect and compile Weird Tale elements. In order to avoid waste, we cannot adopt this method to populate the system..."
"This isn't about wasting resources. Kamen Rider has appeared, which means those monsters might try to shut down tokusatsu shows. We don't have time to wait for you to slowly develop it! Only with enough power can we obtain more Weird Tale factors! If you can't complete your own system in the next few months, then create a system that can be temporarily activated! We must develop Kamen Rider System that can be used in actual combat before Shi-zui arrives!"
"I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by, remember that!" At the Yan Country Supernatural Tale Countermeasures Bureau, a video that had not appeared in any other country's surveillance system or online recordings was playing. It was the Kamen Rider's words when he entered Chinatown and was questioned about his identity by someone codenamed [Old Huang].
"Although they spoke Chinese, this Kamen Rider Transformation System bears a striking resemblance to the system that leaked from the East." The head of the Archive Group squinted, pulled up a file, and Qian An from the research team nodded.
"It is somewhat similar, but this system should be an abandoned solution from the Eastern Kingdom's resistance organization. We tested it before and even invested in filming the 'Armor Hero' series for it, but the power of the weapons generated solely from the concentration and solidification of the Weird Tale factors is not commensurate with the cost."
"But it seems to have succeeded now. Of course, this could just be a Weird Tale evolving in the direction of Kamen Rider. However, judging from the current samples, once a related Weird Tale is generated, the corresponding byproducts should become easier to produce."
The head of the Archive Group gave a brief analysis of the current situation. Qian An for a moment and nodded, saying:
"It's worth a try, but Kamen Rider alone is a bit outdated. We need some skilled suit actors to blend martial arts and tokusatsu..."
Abe no Hirakiri Ya fired the shot, he was mistaken for a camera by onlookers. At a distance of several hundred meters, it was difficult to see the firing action clearly. Therefore, in the eyes of the onlookers, Feng Xue was Superhero transformed, performed a Kamen Rider kick, delivered a finishing punch, shattered the monster and the waves, and then took a picture.
