Grandmother Once Said

Underground, Matrix Base.

Yabaiba and Jue Jue walked in, fuming with rage.

"Confound it, those Gaorangers and those guys calling themselves Kamen Riders! We were hindered by them again," Yabaiba said unwillingly.

"But how on earth did they know our identities and purposes?"

"Need you even ask? It must be related to that newly arrived guy! Don't let me meet him again, otherwise..."

"Look!"

Yabaiba's words were cut short before he could finish, but he didn't get angry because he also saw it. At the entrance of the stone cave, a stone carving of a demon face with a single horn was flashing with blue light, trembling from time to time.

Jue Jue said excitedly, "A High Highness Duke is being born!"

"Yes, he's here to guide where we Orgs should go! Ahahaha!" Yabaiba let out his signature sharp laugh.

The stone statue trembled faster and faster. An eye on the forehead of the statue opened in an instant, and a giant monster was born.

This monster had a large blue horn on its head, a pink upper body shaped like a giant hand, and a green lower body. Apart from three giant glowing eyes on its forehead and chest, its entire body was covered in eyes, looking extremely terrifying and disgusting.

The first High Highness Duke—Jiu Tun.

After Jue Jue and Yabaiba bowed to Jiu Tun, Jue Jue spoke first.

"We are truly sorry. Influenced by those calling themselves Gaorangers and Kamen Riders, several Orgs have lost to them."

Yabaiba hurriedly added, "Don't say such discouraging words, Jue Jue. It's frustrating, so frustrating!"

Jiu Tun waved his hand to interrupt them. "That omnipotent power will lead us. The voice of the Org Lord will tell us."

In fact, there was no such thing as an Org Lord. The highest existence among the Orgs was the High Highness Duke. This was merely made up by the High Highness Duke to control the subordinate Orgs, similar to a spiritual leader or an Org God.

In the center of the matrix, a small ball of flame erupted from the mouth of the giant stone carving, and Jiu Tun continued his performance.

"Do not worry. Even if you cannot hear the angry voice of the Org Lord, just like before, raising a storm on the surface will do."

Sasayama City.

An evil aura drifted around, entering a camera shop. The evil aura condensed into a camera with two horns, landing on a special discount display shelf.

"Is anyone willing to press my shutter? Hehehe..."

Mirror World, inside a forest.

A figure darted and shot through the trees. The air was ripped apart, producing a continuous whistling sound. Every time the figure passed a tree, it kicked up a flurry of falling leaves that slowly drifted down. But before most of these leaves could hit the ground, they were sliced in two.

Suddenly, the figure stopped. It was Xing Zhe.

Tossing the Zikan Girade in his hand aside, he looked at the falling leaves and muttered, "Moving at high speed while slicing all the leaves... as expected, it's not that easy. But..."

Mid-sentence, Xing Zhe stared at his fist for a moment, then suddenly turned around and punched a tree trunk.

Bang!

Slowly pulling his fist out of the dry tree, Xing Zhe's eyes were filled with complexity.

"To be able to achieve this level without transforming... my strength and reflex speed have already surpassed ordinary humans by too much."

Just as he had expected, although he had used up his Ridewatches, his integration progress with the Tokiwa Sogo main template had reached 10%, and a lot of the power of Zi-O Phase 1 had integrated into his body.

If he guessed correctly, the future powers of Phase II, Grand Zi-O, Oma Zi-O, and other forms would all integrate into his body, and other Ridewatches would also integrate into him due to being governed by the Oma Zi-O power.

Am I finally walking the path of abandoning humanity?

Fighting monsters in human form! Just within reach!

Coming out of the Mirror World, drenched in sweat after training, he took a shower and did another lucky draw. How delightful!

"System, draw a Ridewatch!"

"Drawing Ridewatch... Obtained Kamen Rider Kabuto Ridewatch!"

"Kabuto!"

This time is truly wonderful.

One hand pointing to the sky. Grandmother once said, walking the path of heaven, ruling over all.

How does that guy do these things with such a straight face!

Xing Zhe just imitated it a bit and felt awkward all over. Unbearable, unbearable. It seemed his acting skills still needed to be honed.

But honestly, Kabuto's skills were not bad, such as Clock Up! By utilizing tachyon particles, he could manipulate the flow of time around himself, achieving free movement within the timeline, thus entering a high-speed movement state in the eyes of enemies.

And there was also that extremely showy (scratch that) classic Rider Kick—luring the enemy to approach from behind before quickly turning around to counterattack with a high kick, powerful and cool.

"It can serve as a trump card when Zi-O and Raia can't solve it."

On the other side, Gao Rock.

"Sigh, Mr. Raia left too quickly. There are still so many things I wanted to ask him," Gao White grumbled, and Gao Black chimed in.

"Yes, like what his relationship with Zi-O is, and why he knew about the Orgs beforehand."

"Hahaha, it must be because he was a bit embarrassed that we saved him. When he faced the final strike of the Wire Org, he looked startled," Gao Blue said with hands on his hips. Being able to easily handle even giant Orgs made this kid a bit arrogant.

"Really? I always have a feeling that even if we didn't act, he would have been fine. He must have had some other trump card," Gao Red said, walking in with a stack of white papers and distributing them.

"Precautions for being a Gaoranger?" Gao Yellow asked, looking at the thick stack of papers in his hand.

Gao Red handed the last stack to Gao Black and replied, "I compiled this over the past few days. We Gaorangers are a team; we must fight together and cooperate. And as your leader, I must take responsibility."

"Rule number one: if you encounter an Org or other emergencies, do not make judgments on your own. You must report, contact, and consult with me, the leader!"

"Rule number two: solo actions are strictly prohibited..."

While Gao Red was reading enthusiastically, Gao Yellow suddenly interrupted, "What on earth are you thinking? We are not children. In terms of combat experience, everyone here is your senior. You'd better manage yourself first."

Saying this, Gao Yellow stuffed the papers back into Gao Red's hands, turned around, and ran outside.

Originally, because Gao Red had realized his mistake in time during the last incident, Gao Yellow's opinion of him had improved. He didn't expect that after just a few days, Gao Red would pull off such a brainless move.

"Why is it like this!" Gao Red groaned, looking at Gao Yellow's departing figure. "Did I do something wrong again? I just wanted to be a good leader and lead the team well."

In the Mirror World, Xing Zhe, who had come to report the news of the Camera Org, was also very puzzled when he saw this scene.

Why is it that in many Sentai teams, the red warrior, who acts as the leader, is the last one to join? Shouldn't this kind of soul character be found first? Is it just to stretch the episodes, showing the struggle of leading from above and below, highlighting personal charm? Forget it, a team's adjustment period with minor squabbles is very normal; it will get better later.

Sighing, Xing Zhe stepped out of the TV familiarly.

"Ah, it's Mr. Raia." Gao White saw Xing Zhe appear and quickly winked at him, meaning to have him persuade Gao Red.

Since the last incident, White felt that Xing Zhe was like a life mentor, easily resolving the conflict between Red and Yellow. She hoped he could do it again this time. Unfortunately, Xing Zhe's first sentence shocked everyone on the spot.

"An Org has appeared."
