Chen Ran did not interrupt the alien insect's thoughts.
To be honest, Chen Ran felt that if he unleashed a sure-kill Dimensional Rider Kick aimed at this molting alien insect, and did so instantaneously, it would likely be no problem to interrupt its transformation and send it to its demise?
But then again...
A true man stands by his word!
He had said he wanted to experience what it was like to fight an adult alien insect in Clock Up, and he would not go back on his promise.
Besides, without the prerequisite of super high speed.
It was fine to understand the true means of dealing with it.
Regarding how to engage with adult alien insects that specialized in Clock Up abilities, the classroom had taught relevant knowledge. When he came to this point, two days before the college entrance examination, Chen Ran had also specifically searched online for some guides while organizing information from his memory.
In the Rider era, on the other side connected by space rifts, there were all sorts of monsters.
The military had sealed and controlled them.
But that was only one-sided.
Alien monsters were not allowed to break out of the space rifts to cause trouble in the human world, but human Riders could form teams and enter, either to hunt monsters and hone their skills, or to undertake certain special missions and explore within the space rifts to bring back necessary resources.
Over time.
Guides on various alien monsters were endless online.
It was truly... a hundred flowers blooming!
There were already ways to deal with adult alien insects that used Clock Up.
Chen Ran had also organized his memories accordingly.
He had some ideas on how to cope.
But for now, it was still in theory.
The specifics still needed practical application.
The alien insect's molting speed was very fast.
It was completed almost instantaneously.
Perhaps it was because Chen Ran had defeated a few larvae as soon as he arrived in this world, so this time the molting was not a spider monster. As for a bat... he couldn't really trouble the insect, could he?
This was a ladybug adult alien insect.
Unlike the blue one defeated by Tendou in the original work, this one was red.
Chen Ran was not surprised by this.
The number of alien insects was vast.
How vast, you ask?
They could not all be covered by all the known insects on Earth.
Therefore, the number of each type was far more than one, which was the normal state of affairs.
"Ladybug..."
Beneath his mask, Chen Ran's eyes narrowed slightly.
He recalled the abilities of this type of alien insect.
First, the claws on its left and right arms were very sharp. It could also extend tentacles from its mouth to secrete bodily fluids, thereby mummifying its enemies.
From a macro perspective, it was indeed a good ability.
"Heh heh heh."
The ladybug adult alien insect let out an extremely eerie roar from its mouth.
It directly spat a glob of phlegm towards Decade.
Aiming for... his head!
Chen Ran "tsk"-ed.
He tilted his head and deftly dodged it.
Immediately after.
The ladybug alien insect made a movement that seemed like it was gathering power.
Chen Ran knew that it was about to enter Clock Up.
As expected!
In the very next instant.
The ladybug adult alien insect disappeared from its original line of sight.
This was not time stopping or re-acceleration.
Clock Up acted upon itself.
It was similar to Faiz's Accelerator Mode.
From Chen Ran's perspective, the alien insect's speed increased, reaching a point where it was difficult to track. From the alien insect's perspective, it had entered another "dimension," where the movements of others were incredibly slow, and it could control them at will.
It was called a divine skill precisely because of this.
Before Zect had the Rider system equipped, they tried their best to prevent alien insects from molting.
Because once they molted, their combat power would change drastically.
And the tide of battle would absolutely turn in an instant.
A single ant soldier unit might be annihilated because of it.
"As expected, such incredible speed!"
Chen Ran took a deep breath.
Caught off guard.
The alien insect had already charged behind him, its sharp claws slashing fiercely at Decade's back.
Sparks flew momentarily.
Chen Ran also felt a tremendous force, sending him flying forward.
Decade's armor had a shock-absorbing treatment.
Apart from a slight pain.
There was no other sensation.
The alien insect's second wave of attack arrived.
Chen Ran simply adjusted his posture.
His compound eyes flickered with a dark light.
In a state of focused searching, Decade's vision, which could capture dimensional rifts, saw a red shadow constantly shuttling.
Like a big black rat.
"Found you!"
Chen Ran grinned.
He predicted the alien insect's next landing spot.
And pulled the trigger!
"Bang! Bang!"
Pink laser bullets erupted in an instant.
