001 had already used the momentum to spin around, and with an incredibly swift whip kick, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, it slammed into its chest.
"Oh!"
A heavy impact rang out.
The lava dopant was sent flying as if it had been hit by a high-speed train.
It crashed miserably into the solid base of the distant Wind Tower.
It produced a deafening roar.
Debris flew.
From the start of the battle until this moment.
The lava dopant couldn't even touch a corner of Kamen Rider 001's clothes.
This can no longer be called a battle.
This is a one-sided, overwhelming defeat.
It is the ruthless toying of inferior prey by superior predators.
"ended."
001 Squat down slightly to lower your center of gravity.
The locust's unparalleled jumping ability, derived from its genes, is fully stored in its legs.
The muscle fibers tensed to their maximum extent instantly.
He suddenly leaped high into the air.
The figure drew a perfect golden parabola in the air amidst the chaotic lights.
The crimson compound eyes precisely locked onto the enemy struggling to get up below.
【RushingImpact!】
Accompanied by the system sound of ultimate moves echoing through the night sky.
Golden destructive energy, like a burst dam, surged wildly to the sole of his right foot.
The light is getting stronger and stronger.
His right foot, at that moment, seemed to transform into a golden shooting star streaking across the dark sky.
With unparalleled force, it instantly pierced through the core of the lava dopant's body.
"boom--!"
There was an earth-shattering bang.
The monster was completely disintegrated in the incredibly violent explosion.
A violent energy shockwave spread outwards.
It reverted to its former self as the fanatical fan who attacked the press conference.
The man's eyes were closed; he had already fainted, and embers from the intense heat still lingered on his body.
A Gaia memory disk shaped like a USB drive, broken in two, fell off him and rolled to the ground.
Makes a crisp sound.
But just before that memory fragment was about to shatter completely, and the vast amount of energy it contained was about to dissipate entirely.
On the palm of Kamen Rider 001's right hand, a tiny port that is usually inconspicuous and difficult to detect flashed with an extremely faint, eerie blue light.
So fast it's almost impossible to catch.
An invisible stream of data, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, was forcibly drawn out by a mysterious force.
It silently and precisely merged into his knight system.
The whole process went smoothly.
Having done all this, 001 didn't stop for a moment.
Before Shotaro and Philip arrived at the scene on their detective motorcycle.
His figure flickered only slightly.
Like ink dissolving in water, it completely disappeared into the chaotic shadows around it.
All that remained was a scene of utter devastation, and countless terrified witnesses.
Chapter Three: The Detective's Search and Sonozaki's Vigilance
Fuuto, Narumi Detective Agency.
Night had fallen, and the neon lights outside the window cast dappled shadows into the room through the gaps in the blinds.
"Damn it! Where did that thing come from?!"
Shotaro's voice broke the silence in the office.
He ripped off his signature fedora from his head, the movement revealing obvious frustration.
The hat flew through the air in an arc before landing with a thud on the dusty desk.
He paced back and forth in the not-so-spacious office like a caged beast, his leather shoes creaking on the floor.
"When we arrived, there was nothing of value left at the scene except for a mess and the unconscious prisoner."
"That yellow Kamen Rider is elusive and difficult to catch; he's practically a ghost."
He muttered a complaint under his breath, his tone filled with resentment.
In his mind, the scene of that almost overwhelming battle played on a loop, like an old film reel.
Every detail was clearly visible, yet it made him feel incredibly unfamiliar and confused.
His heart was filled with mixed feelings that were hard to describe.
On the one hand, the emergence of a new guardian in Fengdu should have been a cause for celebration.
After all, the city needs more resources to combat the ever-increasing number of adulterant crimes.
On the other hand, this completely unknown and terrifyingly powerful force made this self-proclaimed "tough detective" feel an unprecedented sense of helplessness and powerlessness for the first time.
This feeling is stronger than when facing any vicious admixture.
"Shoutaro, be quiet."
A cool, youthful voice came from another corner of the office, carrying a hint of barely perceptible helplessness.
"Your walking around like this is affecting my search efficiency."
The boy, known as "Philip," was sitting quietly cross-legged on the floor against the wall.
His eyes were closed and his body remained motionless, like a statue in deep meditation.
However, upon closer inspection, one will notice that the air around him seems to be slightly distorted at a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye.
Countless phantom images of books rapidly flipped, layered, and disappeared around him, as if trying to devour the entire space.
Those phantoms were not physical entities, yet they carried a certain indescribable sense of weight.
He is linking to the legendary "Earth Library," which is said to be all-knowing and all-encompassing.
The light and shadow flickered on his face.
A few minutes felt like an eternity.
Suddenly, Philip opened his eyes wide.
His emerald green eyes gleamed with an extraordinary wisdom, along with an undisguised excitement and intense curiosity.
"Found it."
His voice wasn't loud, but it had a unique penetrating quality.
“A very interesting keyword – ‘Zero One Technology’.”
He slowly stood up, his movements fluid and elegant, and walked to the huge white writing board in the center of the room.
Picking up a marker, he began to write a series of messages rapidly on the whiteboard, the characters leaping as if alive.
"This afternoon, at the foot of the Fengdu Tower, Zero One Technology Company held a press conference to launch their new product, 'Humagear'."
"And the current president of the company is that man named 'Su Chen'."
"Based on multi-angle comparative analysis of the chaotic video clips from the scene, the location where the mysterious yellow Kamen Rider 01 first appeared highly overlaps with the location where Su Chen disappeared from the surveillance footage in terms of time and space coordinates."
Shotaro immediately came over, placed his hands on the edge of the whiteboard, and looked at the information listed on it.
His brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) character.
"You mean, that tech company president who seemed more like a scholar than a businessman at the press conference is the powerful Kamen Rider who could solve the dopant problem in an instant?"
His tone was filled with disbelief.
"Based on the analysis of existing data, the probability is as high as 98.7%."
Philip gently adjusted the white bandage wrapped around his wrist, his tone calm yet unusually resolute.
"Moreover, the most crucial point is that I cannot find the source of his technology."
"The company Zero One Technology, and Su Chen himself, seem to have appeared out of thin air in Fengdu. Before this, there were no valid records of them in the Earth Library."
"This is completely contrary to business logic and the common sense of technological development."
“Shotaro, this Su Chen is probably much more complicated than any opponent we’ve encountered before.”
Philip's eyes deepened.
Meanwhile, in another part of Fuuto, inside a luxurious mansion unknown to the average citizen.
The air here is as cold as solidified frost.
Saeko Sonozaki, the eldest daughter of the Sonozaki family, is known in the underworld for possessing the "Taboo" Gaia Memory. She is standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
She reported the same thing to the man who was sitting with his back to her on an expensive leather sofa.
That man was none other than the city's underground emperor, Sonozaki Ryubei, who single-handedly created the "Museum" organization.
