Chapter 157 Oz
Chapter 157 Oz
With a loud bang, the alien Oz flew straight backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
Oz, the Otherworldly being, stared in disbelief at the three coins: "How...how could this be! Why...why did these things have to appear at this crucial moment...why!!!"
Cao Shou, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. What was happening before his eyes was too bizarre and unbelievable. However, as if driven by an invisible force, he reached out and gently touched one of the coins.
But with that one touch, something astonishing happened again! A belt gleaming with metallic light suddenly appeared around Cao Shou's waist as if by magic. This belt had a unique design, inlaid with various intricate patterns and buttons.
"What is this thing?" Cao Shou panicked and tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't budge.
Before Cao Shou could recover from his astonishment, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded—the three coins, as if summoned by some force, automatically shot towards the three coin slots on his belt.
At the same time, a ring-shaped scanning device flew out from an unknown location and swept across the belt with perfect accuracy.
In an instant, a burst of rousing music resounded through the sky. As the music began, a loud voice echoed in the air: "Taka! Tora! Batta!"
The music is upbeat and energetic, full of cheerful melodies and a strong sense of rhythm, sounding both comedic and mechanical. However, this humorous music contrasts sharply with the tense and fierce battle scene, appearing extremely discordant and out of place.
"Ta·To·Ba, TaToBa, Ta·To·Ba!"
As the sound faded, Cao Shou felt a powerful force surge into his body.
He instinctively swung his fist, only to find the force of the blow was devastating. Meanwhile, the alien Oz roared and charged forward, smashing open the cell door!
In the blink of an eye, faced with the sudden situation, Cao Shou had no time to think. Relying entirely on his body's instincts, he quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the fierce attack from Another OZ, and then launched a powerful kick at Another OZ's chest.
With a muffled thud, Oz, the alien, was struck hard and staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.
At this moment, the alien Oz was already furious. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out raging black flames! But unexpectedly, these black flames did not go towards Cao Shou, but instead swept straight towards the group of soldiers not far away!
"Not good!" Cao Shou's heart tightened upon seeing this. Although his mind hadn't had time to think of a countermeasure, his body had already taken action. He rushed to the front of the soldiers like lightning. At the same time, the belt at his waist suddenly flashed, instantly forming an incomparably sturdy light shield between the black flames and the soldiers.
The scorching black flames relentlessly battered the shield, sending countless sparks flying! Behind the shield, Cao Shou gritted his teeth, straining to hold on, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Despite this, he held the line, refusing to give the flames even the slightest chance to break through.
"What...what is this?" Cao Shou was filled with doubt as he stared at the bizarre scene before him. However, before he could figure it out, the shouts of the soldiers behind him revealed the answer.
"Kamen Rider! It's Kamen Rider!"
"Isn't he a criminal? How could someone so unjust be a Kamen Rider!"
"What else could it be but Kamen Rider? I think he's definitely innocent!"
Cao Shou never expected that, even though he had already given up, simply becoming a Kamen Rider would change the way people around him. The image of Kamen Rider was truly so deeply ingrained.
Just then, the alien Oz was surrounded by a strange black light, which instantly condensed into countless extremely sharp black spikes, shooting towards everyone like a dense rain of arrows.
"Watch out, everyone!" A cry of alarm rang out, and everyone's nerves tensed instantly. A layer of incredibly sturdy protective armor seemed to come alive and automatically springed out, forming an indestructible barrier that forcefully blocked all the menacing black spikes.
"Well done!" Upon seeing this, the crowd standing behind Cao Shou erupted in enthusiastic cheers. The cheers rose and fell, one wave after another, as if they were about to pierce the sky.
However, Cao Yu's situation was extremely dire at this moment. Although his body was controlled by the Another OZ, he had not lost his consciousness. He could only watch helplessly as his own brother—the man who once held a deep grudge against him—transformed into a majestic Kamen Rider.
Having shared Another OZ's memories, he knew perfectly well that this Kamen Rider was OZ, and also a powerful nemesis capable of completely destroying Another OZ!
However, what puzzled him most was why the Kamen Rider would choose such a wicked person. Shouldn't the legendary Kamen Riders only choose those with a righteous heart as their hosts?
But now, his brother is the notorious third-in-command of the drug cartel. How can someone with blood on his hands and so many evil deeds be considered a righteous person?
The deafening cheers of the soldiers echoed in his ears, each shout like a hammer blow to Cao Yu's heart. He felt his world crumbling, and the last shred of reason within him on the verge of collapse!
Cao Yu's resentment and anger reached their peak. He forcefully broke through the suppression of Another OZ's partial consciousness and shouted, "Cao Shou, do you think you can clear your name like this? The bad things you did won't disappear just because you became a Kamen Rider! I will never let you go, even if it means my death!"
A flicker of guilt crossed Cao Shou's eyes. But he had no time to explain. He focused on controlling the power of the belt, which released even more energy that surrounded him: "This place is dangerous! It's not something ordinary people like you can handle! Get out of here!"
However, at that moment, Oz, who had been aggressively launching attacks, unexpectedly stopped his offensive and began to laugh wildly.
"Hahahaha..." The laughter echoed in the empty space, sounding particularly jarring and chilling.
Standing opposite him, Cao Shou frowned, a strong sense of unease rising within him. He stared intently at the strangely behaving enemy before him and coldly questioned, "What are you laughing at?"
Another OZ slightly suppressed his smile, but a cunning glint still shone in his eyes as he said mockingly, "Hmph, it seems you know nothing about the power you possess! The form you're currently using is called Kamen Rider OZ, and I am Another OZ! There's a special relationship between us—you are my destined one and only nemesis!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shou was startled; he had never imagined such a complex connection. However, he quickly regained his composure and pressed on, "Since I was able to destroy you, what's so funny about that?"
Another Oz shook his head smugly, then said, "Don't rush me, there's more to the story. Actually, your brother's greatest wish when he merged with me was to kill you with his own hands! But if you want him to live, you must first fulfill his wish and then completely eliminate me. Otherwise, not only will I die, but he will also perish with me! In other words, in this life-or-death struggle, only one of you brothers can survive! How about that? Doesn't it all seem absurd? Hahahaha..." After saying that, Another Oz burst into another burst of wild laughter.
Cao Shou was stunned. He looked at the alien Oz with a conflicted expression.
