Ho Fei-yu was excited as he looked at Kamen Rider Kabuto, which was transformed by Crazy Diamond .
In his previous life, as a lonely child, he had spent a lot of time distracting himself and filling the void with things like anime and tokusatsu dramas, just like Hana Tenkawa had used movies.
He vaguely remembered that in the early 21st century in the Dragon Kingdom, most people were generally poor, and he, an orphan, naturally suffered even more. The first anime he encountered was the omnipotent Blue Fat Cat (Doraemon). Dozens of children his age would huddle together, their small eyes shining with curiosity, staring intently at Doraemon on the TV screen. Watching it pull out amazing gadgets to help the unlucky Nobita, they all simultaneously fantasized that one day they would meet their own Ding-Dong Cat too~
Life was tough back then, but it was pure...
Next came Tiga, who would transform into Ultraman to beat up little monsters, and Kamen Rider, who would transform into armored suits to bash monsters. Despite the hardship, their spirit was rich.
He loved Kamen Rider Kabuto, which was similar to Kamen Rider 555, out of affection for the latter.
He reached out and touched it. The cold, metallic texture of the armor passed from his fingertips to every cell in his body. A feeling of pleasure showed on his face. For a moment, the thought that women couldn't compare to armor flashed through his mind.
Ho Fei-yu indulged himself like a pervert, enjoying the feel of the armor, before wiping the smile from his face and looking at Eliseo Abe, who was still frozen in time.
After some thought, he decided that letting the NTR die silently would be letting him off too easily. So, he decided against resolving the issue during the time stop. A more brutal plan was already brewing in his mind!
The time stop ended.
The previously solidified raindrops started falling rapidly again with a whoosh.
Overcast clouds blocked the sun. Thunder and lightning began to flash at some unknown point, making everything dim, with only the streetlights flickering faintly.
'What is that thing next to that brat? When did it appear?' Eliseo Abe looked at the tall, armored humanoid creature that had suddenly appeared next to Ho Fei-yu. His eyes narrowed, and a sense of dread rose in his heart. He instinctively wanted to run away, but for some reason, his body was filled with malice and lust, driving him to destroy everything in front of him, and then aggressively vent his feelings on that girl! It was as if this was his mission!
Eliseo Abe clenched his fists and tensed his body. The unprecedented feeling of strength filled him with confidence.
He looked down, examining his muscular arms, powerful torso, and thighs as thick as ancient tree trunks. Although he didn't know what was happening, he felt this power belonged to him, a surging force spreading within.
Triumphant!
With this power, when he returned to the company, would those arrogant people dare to look down on him? He wouldn't need to be subservient anymore. He could turn the tables, and that mother and daughter! No, with this power, he wouldn't need that stinky old fat woman anymore. What kind of woman couldn't he have then?
"Hahahahahaha!"
Thinking of this, Eliseo Abe burst into a triumphant laugh.
But first, he had to complete the task at hand.
Ho Fei-yu and Eliseo Abe exchanged glances. Ho Fei-yu's eyes were full of composure and indifference, while Eliseo Abe's were filled with pride and arrogance, like a nouveau riche who had suddenly received a windfall.
On a nearby leaf, rainwater had collected but not yet tipped. However, when one more drop of rain collected on it, like the final straw that broke the camel's back, all the water flowed down the leaf veins.
As if given a signal, at that very moment, Eliseo Abe charged toward Ho Fei-yu. His strong hands shielded his chest and face to prevent Ho Fei-yu from kicking him in the face again. This would also allow him to deliver a bear hug and use a chokehold after the collision.
Ho Fei-yu remained standing still. As the distance closed, the vicious grin on Eliseo Abe's face became clearer.
Eliseo Abe looked at Ho Fei-yu, still standing there stupidly, and had already imagined how he would make him die a painful and miserable death. He glanced at the armored figure next to him. Although it hadn't moved since it appeared, it still gave Eliseo Abe a sense of inexplicable panic. But with the arrow already on the string, he had no choice but to pray that it was just a toy.
"Die! You brat! Next time, don't show up where you don't belong!" As he was about to reach Ho Fei-yu, Eliseo Abe began to utter the victor's declaration.
Stillness like water, movement like a startled swan.
The previously motionless Crazy Diamond moved like lightning, appearing in front of Ho Fei-yu. It delivered a punch with the force of thunder toward Eliseo Abe's hands.
Boom!
A startling explosion, like a clap of thunder, echoed in the open space.
"Ah!!! My hands! My hands!" Eliseo Abe, who had been full of arrogance moments before, was now like a stray dog. Crazy Diamond (Kabuto) had broken both his arms, leaving only bloody, white bone and torn flesh.
"It hurts so much, woo—" Even with his newfound extraordinary power, Eliseo Abe was still just an ordinary office worker before this. Ho Fei-yu kicking out his teeth earlier had been excruciating, but because he was healed, he had mostly forgotten the pain. Now, a more brutal scene was before him. He cried out like a seven or eight-year-old child.
"Hahahaha, I'm invincible! Do you see that? You damned brat, you can't kill me!" However, in less than a few seconds, new flesh regrew from Eliseo Abe's broken forearms, slowly restoring them to their original state. Seeing this, Eliseo Abe immediately stopped crying. Looking at his brand new, even better, skin, his expression changed from disbelief to hysterical laughter. He moved his new arms, found nothing wrong, and sneered at Ho Fei-yu.
Healed the wound and forgot the pain. Ho Fei-yu shook his head.
He stretched out his hand, palm open, and beckoned Eliseo Abe to come at him.
Feeling provoked, and with his confidence soaring, Eliseo Abe charged toward Ho Fei-yu again. However, his gaze was constantly on Crazy Diamond. He guessed that Ho Fei-yu himself might not have any abilities, and only this armored man could deal with him. Could he perhaps avoid it?
Eliseo Abe rushed toward Ho Fei-yu, suddenly braked, and then started running around Ho Fei-yu, trying to find a gap to sneak attack him, avoiding contact with the armored man. Even with his superior healing ability, he felt he couldn't withstand the armored man's blows. It was too terrifying!
Ho Fei-yu watched Eliseo Abe acting like a clown. Knowing he was afraid of Crazy Diamond and dared not attack him directly, Ho Fei-yu feigned an opening, intentionally moving a few steps away and letting Crazy Diamond guard one side.
Eliseo Abe saw the armored man, who had been next to Ho Fei-yu, suddenly move a short distance away. Believing he had found an opening, he mustered all his strength and shot toward Ho Fei-yu like a cannonball.
This time, he absolutely had to kill Ho Fei-yu!
"Idiot! What's going on, why is this armored man so fast! Damn it!" Unfortunately, Crazy Diamond was faster. In less than a second, it was back in front of Ho Fei-yu. Its cold, piercing blue eyes shone with a frigid light, stinging Eliseo Abe's eyes. He couldn't understand why such heavy armor was so fast and couldn't help but complain loudly.
"Ah!!!" This time the pain was even worse. Because his fat body couldn't stop, he was once again struck by Crazy Diamond, breaking not just his arms but also his legs.
"Why! Why! Why are you doing this to me! I just wanted to vent my desires and distress! Why!!!" The utterly defeated Eliseo Abe, without his limbs, writhed like a worm. His fat face was filled with resentment and hatred. He stared venomously at Ho Fei-yu.
"I don't care."
"Ah!!!" Eliseo Abe hadn't expected Ho Fei-yu to respond. He was only venting his own pain, but Ho Fei-yu's retort was like pouring salt on a wound. Following a pathetic roar, Eliseo Abe's body began to regenerate again. At the same time, the last glimmer of light in his eyes completely vanished, replaced entirely by darkness and murkiness, as if he had lost all humanity.
"Jie jie jie."
A bizarre sound emanated from Eliseo Abe's throat, hoarse and grating like fingernails on glass.
"Is this the target for this time? Jie jie, become nourishment for me, Child of the World!" Eliseo Abe's dark eyes did not look at Ho Fei-yu, but at Kokoro Aono, who was still sitting at the bus stop. He smiled wickedly and muttered to himself.
With that, he ran toward Kokoro Aono.
Although Ho Fei-yu sensed a change in Eliseo Abe, he didn't realize that this Eliseo Abe was no longer the previous Eliseo Abe. He thought the charge was aimed at him, wondering if the man had gone mad to attack him so directly, but he hadn't expected him to bypass him.
"Oh no, it's not me." Ho Fei-yu was shocked.
Meanwhile, Kokoro Aono was truly stunned. From the start until now, she didn't know what had happened. Her little mind seemed to have entered a protective state. But when Eliseo Abe's fat, muscular body sped toward her, she snapped back to reality. She wanted to stand up and avoid him, but her slender, delicate legs felt like lead and couldn't move. She could only close her eyes and await death...
"ZA WARUDO!!!" Ho Fei-yu shouted loudly at the crucial moment.
Silence.
"Phew, that was close." Ho Fei-yu sighed in relief. If Eliseo Abe had slammed into Kokoro Aono's small body, she would likely have died instantly. Even with Crazy Diamond's ability, he might not have been able to save her, and he wasn't willing to risk it. Not only was his c**k on the line, but he didn't want such a beautiful girl to perish.
"Damn it, I wanted to torture him a bit, but since he did this..." Ho Fei-yu gritted his teeth. He quickly walked up to Eliseo Abe. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he thought he saw Eliseo Abe's eyes moving.
But that should be impossible. Star Platinum is invincible!
Ho Fei-yu looked at the stunned Kokoro Aono. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face. It was slightly cold, but soft and delicate. Not bad. After teasing her for a bit, he released his hand and walked in front of Eliseo Abe, kicking him away.
He walked to Crazy Diamond and flipped the Kabuto Zecter to the right.
Blue electrical currents crackled over the thick armor.
[Cast Off]
The armor plating sprang open.
[Change Beetle]
The true Rider form appeared!
The time stop ended.
"Jie jie jie~"
"I didn't expect a new entity to appear in the mortal realm. Interesting, hahahaha! Truly interesting!"
"It's a pity that this body can only handle less than a ten-thousandth of my power. I can't have a good time. What a shame..." Eliseo Abe laughed loudly at Ho Fei-yu and Crazy Diamond, and then a look of disappointment flashed across his face.
"But this is enough!"
Ho Fei-yu didn't understand what Eliseo Abe was saying. He sounded like a completely different person, but NTR must die! He wouldn't let Eliseo Abe go just because he seemed mentally unstable.
Ho Fei-yu slapped the right side of the belt.
[Clock Up! Clock Up!]
In Crazy Diamond's vision, the rapidly falling raindrops seemed to be standing still.
No!
They weren't still, they were just slowed down dozens of times!
Since Ho Fei-yu was Crazy Diamond's host, he wasn't affected. He found the ability, which was similar to a time stop, quite amusing.
Although Eliseo Abe couldn't move during a time stop, he seemed to be able to move when time was slowed, just much slower, at roughly a 100-to-1 ratio.
Ho Fei-yu slowly walked up to Eliseo Abe and pressed the Rider Kick button.
[Rider Kick]
Blue lightning energy surged from the belt, quickly accumulating in the horn on the head.
The next moment, a surge of fierce energy gathered in the foot and kicked Eliseo Abe.
[Clock Over]
Bang, bang, bang!
Eliseo Abe's body flew into the woods behind the bus stop, smashing through several trees before finally stopping.
Ho Fei-yu followed him and found Eliseo Abe, charred black all over, beneath a broken tree. He was half-dead, unable to move even a finger.
This was the result of Ho Fei-yu having Crazy Diamond hold back. Otherwise, one kick would have completely atomized him, leaving nothing but dust. He wouldn't let an NTR die that easily.
Crazy Diamond's ability activated, and Eliseo Abe was healed.
Then.
"DORARARARARARARARARARA!"
"Stay here forever and repent for your actions, if you still have a soul."
Finished, Ho Fei-yu turned and left.
The Human-Faced Tree!
It was named so because of the human-like face and strange branches on its trunk.
It is said to have been accidentally discovered by a couple who wanted to experiment with outdoor intimacy, and since then, it has become a popular spot for different couples to engage in outdoor activities and for test-of-courage competitions.
Later, it was developed by the locals into a sightseeing sanctuary, often attracting couples to commemorate their visit, thus boosting the local economy. It was also referred to as the Money-Attracting Tree by the locals!
