"Hoo... looks like it's over," Misaki Yuzuki lowered her Zecter gun, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Beside her, Takaoka Renka nodded in strong agreement.
To be honest, due to Kagami's rapid downfall and the overwhelming pressure emanating from Nogei Reiji, if Chen Ran hadn't shown up, they would have likely met their end here.
Now, with all the Worms that had appeared, including the oppressive Nogei Reiji, defeated, a sense of immense relief washed over everyone.
Tanaka Shuichi's demeanor was more composed than that of his subordinates.
Even if he was relieved, it was done in private. He was the captain, after all!
Face was important!
"Mr. Chen, thank you for this matter. These anti-mimicry bullets are crucial weapons in our fight against the Worms!" Tanaka Shuichi approached Chen Ran, his voice sincere with gratitude.
Chen Ran shrugged and said, "It was merely a small effort."
In fact, in his heart, he had always believed in the adage: "If they are not of our kind, they will surely have different intentions."
However, despite being a Worm, Tanaka Shuichi's actions were undoubtedly for the sake of this world.
To eliminate all Worms!
And then... for humans and Worms to coexist harmoniously on this beautiful planet.
It had to be said that Tanaka Shuichi was a truly blameless person. He was different from those Worms with hidden agendas! In the original story, Worms led by Ne-guro attempted to convert all humans into Worms, thereby transforming this world into their paradise.
Originally, even if all humans were annihilated, it would have had no impact on him as a Worm. But out of goodwill towards humanity and his fondness for this beautiful world, Tanaka Shuichi chose to stand with humans. Furthermore, he had consistently acted upon this belief without any deviation.
Therefore, Chen Ran harbored no ill feelings towards Tanaka Shuichi. It was rare to maintain one's original heart amidst a multitude of conflicting desires.
After the Nogei Reiji incident was resolved, Zect continued its research and development of anti-mimicry bullets.
On the Worm side, due to the successive demise of their two bosses, their strength significantly declined. Although Nogei Reiji, revived into his second form, was determined to rally the main Worm forces for another confrontation with Zect, he was ultimately powerless.
The world seemed to have fallen back into a state of peace. Occasionally, Worms would appear and attempt to harm humans, but in the end, they would always be eliminated by the Kamen Riders, leading to their eventual destruction.
As for Chen Ran... it was time for another ten days to pass. Through the 'time-space traversal' privilege granted by the system, he once again left the Kabuto world and returned to that brilliant and colorful era of Kamen Riders, where Riders and monsters appeared endlessly...
Walking along the familiar streets of the liquor city, the gentle breeze from the rivers was so comforting.
"The wind is a bit boisterous today," Chen Ran stretched and smiled.
Time flowed swiftly. Both worlds were like this, with the Riders enacting their own vibrant stories. Chen Ran moved between the two worlds, embarking on his own path of evolution.
After two days of rest at home, Chen Ran bid farewell to his grandmother Nannan and set off for Shenjing!
