"This guy... his strength is incredible!" Nogizaka Reiuji muttered to himself.
To be honest.
The power Decade displayed was truly beyond his imagination. Gatack was also a Kamen Rider highly valued by ZECT, but Nogizaka Reiuji felt it was undeserved.
He boasted about how incredibly powerful he was.
But what was the result?
He didn't even have the slightest thought of returning to his monster form, attacking directly without any emotion. He was like an emotionless output machine, only needing to pour all his power into Gatack without reservation.
And the opponent, even after completing his transformation, was completely unable to resist his onslaught, like a storm of pear blossoms.
However...
The more powerful this crimson Decade became, the more excited he became.
Possessing immense power himself.
His greatest joy was fighting.
Encountering an opponent who could match him, he felt his blood boiling!
Chen Ran flicked his hand.
He looked very relaxed.
The punch from the Horseshoe Crab Worm did not put much pressure on him. Nogizaka Reiuji's abilities were special. In the original plot of the Kabuto world, he had once made the Kamen Riders suffer defeats, but after being killed, he was revived in his second or even third form.
After losing the 'time-stop' ability, his pressure was greatly reduced.
Once he started to suffer defeats, he would be met with a series of crazy setbacks!
Of course.
Was the current Nogizaka Reiuji in his first stage?
If so, time-stop... still needed to be taken seriously.
Chen Ran took out the Kabuto card and inserted it into the Decade Driver for reading.
"Kamen Ride..."
"Kabuto!"
In an instant.
Decade's armor changed.
It transformed into the appearance of Kabuto.
Its rhinoceros beetle-like form looked incredibly cool.
Without any further ado, after changing forms, he went straight into action.
Activating the skill – Clock Up.
Instantly.
He was next to Nogizaka Reiuji, and suddenly threw a punch, creating a sonic boom as it cut through the air.
Nogizaka Reiuji did not simply wait to be defeated.
As Decade's attack approached, he crossed his arms instantly.
He intended to steadily block it.
However, Chen Ran's offense was far from simple.
This incoming punch was more like a feint.
The real attack was...
Electronic sounds played out in an instant.
"Final Attack Ride..."
"Ka-Ka-Ka-Kabuto!"
[Rider... Kick!]
Countless super-light-speed particles converged.
The moment Clock Up was activated.
Chen Ran had already inserted the finisher card into the Decade Driver.
A Rider Kick with the ability to atomize!
However...
Buzz!
For a moment.
As if some mysterious wave emanated from Nogizaka Reiuji and spread outwards, Tadokoro Shuichi and others who were watching from the sidelines, unable to intervene, and Chen Ran who was unleashing Kabuto's finishing move, all stopped moving!
It wasn't like Hyper Clock Up, nor Clock Up, nor Faiz's Acceler Form. Because in these forms, although it couldn't be seen with normal vision, there was always relative movement.
But this time, everything was completely still!
Time... stopped!
Nogizaka Reiuji's unique, mutated Clock Up ability.
It was exceptionally unique and unlike any other.
Chen Ran had undergone several evolutions, but he still had no resistance to time-stop. Therefore, facing Nogizaka Reiuji's sudden time-stop, he could only watch.
His consciousness remained intact.
However.
Nogizaka Reiuji's energy-charged punch had already landed in front of Decade!
