Kaoru Ichijo watched Fang Xinhan disappear, then quickly got into the police car and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Gokai, how are your injuries?"
"Doctor Tsubaki has already checked. The outside of the aguru is not completely repaired, but it doesn't matter, I can still continue to fight."
"Gokai, just now I met another child wearing an aguru. He has already gone to the location of Number 0. He asked me to tell you that you are not fighting alone."
"Eh! Really?"
Yusuke Godai was clearly surprised by Kaoru Ichijo's words.
"Anyway, let's go there first."
On the other side, Fang Xinhan, who had arrived in Nagano City, completed his super transformation on the hoverboard, directly transforming into his Amazing Titan form.
Then, he reached forward and a black Rising Titan Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The Amazing form is considered the nascent version of the Ultimate form, so it's not surprising that it possesses the ability to manipulate microscopic particles, but its power is still far from that of the Ultimate form.
Daguba, in his human form, saw Kuuga flying towards him, was first startled, then smiled.
"You've come, Kuuga."
Daguba reverted to his original appearance, and with a raise of his hand, an invisible energy swept towards Fang Xinhan.
However, Fang Xinhan did not dodge, blocking with the black Rising Titan Sword in front of him, then Fang Xinhan collided with that force.
With a 'boom', an explosion sounded, and Fang Xinhan was sent flying from the hoverboard, finally rolling to the side of the road.
"Damn it, as expected of the final boss."
Fang Xinhan got up from the ground, then raised the black Rising Titan Sword and slashed towards Daguba. This time, Daguba did not attack or even defend.
"Ping~"
The sound of metal clashing rang out; it was the sound of Fang Xinhan's black Rising Titan Sword striking the opponent's left shoulder.
Daguba appeared very calm and unaffected, without any sign of being attacked. He raised his right hand, gripped the black Rising Titan Sword, and then forcibly broke it off.
Then Daguba kicked towards Fang Xinhan's aguru spirit stone belt. Fang Xinhan knew what his opponent was thinking, so he grabbed Daguba's incoming leg with both hands.
"Third Style — Shattering Rivers and Mountains."
Fang Xinhan mobilized the demonic energy within his body to unleash the third style of the Falling Sky Art, and this style was aimed at breaking Daguba's thigh.
Daguba felt the tearing pain in his thigh muscles and was slightly surprised.
"Kuuga, you clearly haven't obtained the Ultimate Power yet, but you can still hurt me. Interesting, it's truly too interesting."
Daguba stopped holding back and began to chase Fang Xinhan. Fang Xinhan's goal was achieved, and he then moved towards the direction of Kurodake Meiri Zengzawa in Nagano Prefecture.
Daguba ran after Fang Xinhan for a while and felt something was off. He then understood Fang Xinhan's intention.
"So, you want to have a decisive battle there?"
Daguba instantly moved outside the ruins and left a message: Kuuga, I'll wait for you there.
Due to Fang Xinhan's intervention, Daguba's original plan to massacre Nagano City and Matsumoto City was thwarted, indirectly saving many people.
Don't misunderstand, Fang Xinhan purely wanted to get a high score; otherwise, he wouldn't want to save the Japanese people.
Meanwhile, Officer Ichijo and Gokai, who was on his way to Nagano City, also found Daguba's whereabouts through the special radar monitoring Number 0's movements.
"Gokai, the radar shows that Number 0 is currently at Kurodake."
"Kurodake? I understand, Ichijo-san."
The two rode their motorcycles towards Kurodake. Along the way, the heavy rain in the sky gradually turned into sleet.
By the time they approached Kurodake, the sky was already full of heavy snow, and it was at this moment that Fang Xinhan, riding his hoverboard, met up with the two.
The three did not speak, but simply nodded silently and then moved together.
Upon reaching the mountainside outside the ruins, the three stopped.
Yusuke Godai took off his helmet and carefully looked at Fang Xinhan; there was an indescribable meaning on his face.
"Are you also Kuuga?"
Fang Xinhan nodded and said, "I am Kuuga from another world, Senior Gokai."
Gokai was also confused, 'Senior, what senior?' Then he was suddenly startled and pointed at himself, saying,
"Senior? Me?"
If it were the usual Yusuke Godai, he would definitely be laughing and chatting with Fang Xinhan, but now the situation was serious, and there was no time to think so much. Gokai was willing to trust Fang Xinhan.
"Senior, you still have something to say, right? Then I'll go first."
After speaking, Fang Xinhan walked ahead towards Daguba's location.
And it was at this moment that Officer Ichijo said to Gokai,
"To be honest, I never wanted you to face Number 0 alone, or even to walk down this path. I just wanted you to complete your adventure, but I kept getting you involved in this conflict. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I think this is pretty good, because if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have met Officer Ichijo.
By the way, there's still a crack in my belt here. If I turn into something terrifying and dark, please shoot here."
Yusuke Godai said, pointing to the cracked part of his belt.
"Gokai..."
Gokai finally showed an innocent smile and made his signature gesture. Kaoru Ichijo understood Gokai's intention and immediately extended his right hand to make that gesture of promise.
"Then please watch, my... Henshin."
Gokai took a step forward, his body constantly changing, and finally, a black Kuuga with four horns and a black aguru appeared.
(Actually, the original Ultimate Kuuga's design had fierce eyes, a terrifying monster-like appearance, sharp fangs that could tear prey, and blade-like fins on his arms and calves.)
"When the holy spring dries, the tragic warrior appears like lightning, and the sun is buried in darkness."
However, Yusuke Godai's ardent heart did not transform into the Kuuga that would bring about ultimate darkness; those red eyes were the best proof.
Ultimate Kuuga Gokai looked back slightly, his conviction firm, and ran towards Daguba and Fang Xinhan.
Due to the plot trigger, Fang Xinhan's Amazing form also transformed into the Ultimate form. Daguba looked at Fang Xinhan, who had gained the Ultimate Power, and his smile became even brighter.
"You've also obtained it, the Ultimate Power."
However, just as he was laughing happily, his expression froze.
Because he felt another Ultimate Power, and then a black figure walked up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fang Xinhan.
Daguba: Did I wake up to two Kuugas? It doesn't matter, two of them are still the same fight!
"Two Kuugas? Things are getting even more interesting."
Daguba resumed his stance and, with a flick of his hand, a flame of 300,000 degrees Celsius appeared on both Kuugas.
Both Kuugas similarly returned the flame. The flames on Daguba, subjected to double flame scorching, only grew a little stronger.
Since everyone possesses the Ultimate Power, when their supernatural pyrokinesis abilities are active, they are immune to plasma-state molecular and atomic decomposition.
Therefore, no one present was harmed.
Since they all possessed the Ultimate Power, they were essentially taught by the same master, and their skills were identical, so they naturally couldn't break each other's moves. Thus, they resorted to close-quarters combat.
(P.S.: How the hell did the actor for Number 0 manage to portray such an innocent smile?)
