Cherreads

Chapter 58 - 58. Gates: Sorry, I'm Late!

White Woz swung his spear, redirecting the two signal towers on the opposite roof before unleashing a lightning-like attack on the alien Exide. The sheer force of the attack was terrifying, resembling divine punishment from the god of thunder.

The audience gasped at the spectacle. The sheer power of the lightning was overwhelming—who could possibly withstand such an assault?

The alien Exide, unwilling to take the attack head-on, swiftly dodged. The lightning struck the ground instead, igniting flames instantly. The area turned into a sea of fire, but Exide remained unscathed.

White Woz, unfazed, coldly declared, "Long spear thrust!" The tip of his spear crackled with golden lightning, exuding a chilling aura. Exide, sensing the danger, became tense.

White Woz lunged, moving at an incredible speed. "Boom!" A dazzling white light exploded from Exide. Unable to withstand the force, Exide burst apart, engulfed in a fiery explosion.

The audience erupted in cheers.

"Finally, he's been defeated!"

"Even Gates struggled against him before!"

But the moment of victory was short-lived. A boy appeared, donning a different set of armor—Knight 555. The crowd was stunned.

"Are you kidding me?! Another one?!"

"How many more transformations does this guy have?!"

"Who is he, and why is he so powerful?!"

White Woz's expression darkened. "Who are you?"

The armor retracted, revealing a young man. He gazed at Sougo and spoke calmly, "I am Jia Feiliu." His gaze sharpened. "Tokiwa Sougo, our paths are destined to cross many times. We will meet again soon."

The audience speculated wildly.

"What's his connection to Sougo? Could he be another King of Time from a parallel world?"

"Impossible! That would be too terrifying to consider!"

Gates turned to Sougo. "Do you know him?"

Sougo shook his head, confused. "No idea."

Later, as they regrouped, White Woz spoke privately to Gates. "You can't use the corresponding knight watch against him—it's too troublesome. But if you harness the power of your past self, the resurrected Gates, you can win."

Gates looked at the watch in his hand, lost in thought. White Woz continued, "With this power, you can defeat any alien knight. But remember, this power was meant to fight the Demon King. Without strong conviction, you won't be able to wield it. The choice is yours, Lord Savior."

Gates' face turned solemn. Should he use this power?

Meanwhile, Sougo was determined to protect past contractors, knowing Kakogawa Feiliu would target them. His next stop was Danrito's residence. Upon arrival, he was relieved to find no signs of an attack. But his relief was short-lived—Kakogawa Hiryu appeared shortly after.

"What's your goal? Why are you targeting them?" Sougo demanded.

Kakogawa Hiryu smirked. "I want the remaining power of the alien knights in their bodies. All of this is to defeat you!"

"Defeat me? Why?" Sougo was puzzled.

Hiryu's eyes burned with hatred. "You wouldn't understand. You never do."

Without hesitation, Sougo attacked. If he didn't stop Hiryu, more contractors would suffer.

Hiryu grinned. "Since you're so eager to fight, I won't hold back."

Sougo activated his belt. "Transform!"

"Kamen Rider Zi-O!"

"Zi-O Stage 2!"

A long sword materialized in Sougo's hands. Gates and White Woz arrived just in time to join the battle. White Woz quickly transformed.

"Ask the Rider! Future Ask the Rider!"

The three warriors surrounded Hiryu, forcing him to retreat. White Woz unleashed an attack.

"Long Staff Whip—End Time!"

A barrage of talismans trapped Hiryu, gathering around him before exploding. But from the aftermath, dark creatures emerged and attacked White Woz.

"Spirit Rider!"

White Woz was knocked down. Gates stepped in, but even he struggled. His expression darkened. He had no choice—he had to use that power. As he pressed the watch, nothing happened.

Gates was stunned. "Why isn't it responding?!"

Spirit Rider chuckled. "What's the matter?"

Before Gates could react, Spirit Rider produced a watch. "Zi-O!"

Everyone froze in shock.

"Impossible! How does he have a Zi-O watch?!"

Even Sougo was taken aback. "What's going on?!"

The audience in the three realms erupted in disbelief.

"No way! A King's watch appeared in his hands?!"

"Did Swartz give it to him?!"

"This is insane! I'm worried Sougo and Gates won't stand a chance!"

The alien Zi-O wielded two swords, releasing terrifying energy waves that sent Gates and White Woz flying. Their armor shattered, revealing their true forms. The audience was stunned.

"Damn, is Zi-O really that powerful?!"

"He took them both down with one strike!"

Meanwhile, Ur, who had been observing, was shaken. "Alien Zi-O…" He hurried back to confront Swartz. "Did you create an alien Zi-O?!"

Aura overheard and paled. "No way…"

But Swartz remained composed, even smiling. "That is the villain who possesses the power of all alien knights—the King of Knights."

Ur staggered back, cold sweat forming on his brow. Aura dropped her cup in shock.

The audience was equally stunned.

"Oh no… things just got serious!"

"Even Aura and Ur are scared! That says a lot!"

"What is Swartz's true goal?!"

Meanwhile, Sougo and Kakogawa Feiliu resumed their battle. Sougo activated his foresight ability. "I see your future."

Feiliu smirked. "I see yours too."

Sougo's blade ignited with golden flames. "The strongest—the end moment!"

Their swords clashed, sending out shockwaves that distorted the very space around them. The battle escalated, reaching an explosive climax. Feiliu, despite his power, was eventually overwhelmed.

Sougo stood victorious. "Knight, the end time!"

Feiliu, furious, launched a final attack. He knocked Sougo to the ground, but before he could strike again, Gates arrived and punched him in the face, sending him sprawling.

Gates turned to Sougo and smirked. "Sorry, I'm late."
