"Hiss!"
Except for Okada Yuriko, Tanzaburo Tojima, Shimamura Ichiyo, and Shimamura Mitsuba, who had seen Shiraishi Shin use Eternal, everyone else was stunned, because just a few minutes ago, the Kamen Rider they saw was the black and green armored Rider.
However, the Kamen Rider Shiraishi Shin transformed into was not Cronus, but a completely different appearance. Could it be that he could transform into two different Kamen Riders?
This brought a huge shock to their hearts. They longed to become Kamen Riders but couldn't, while Shiraishi Shin transformed into two different Kamen Riders alone.
"He really transformed!"
Yukarisu's eyes widened as she witnessed Shiraishi Shin's Henshin. Although Shimamura Mitsuba had told her earlier, seeing the Henshin with her own eyes was truly shocking.
"Who exactly are you?"
Man-Spider sensed danger the moment Shiraishi Shin transformed. This human could actually transform! What was his origin?
Shiraishi Shin's fluttering cape behind him fell. He turned sideways, gave a defiant thumbs up, and said, "You're asking for the name of Shinigami, aren't you? When you reach hell, report this name: Kamen Rider Eternal!"
"Kamen Rider? You say you're a Kamen Rider!"
Man-Spider's heart skipped a beat, but looking at Shiraishi Shin's transformation just now, he questioned, "No, Kamen Riders are all cyborgs. After modification, they are not truly human; in your human eyes, they are also Kaijins!
And your transformation just now was not like the showa riders, where the body directly transforms into a modified form. It was just putting on a layer of rider armor, and inside the armor, you're just an ordinary person!"
Upon hearing Man-Spider's words, Tanzaburo Tojima and the others also reacted. Yes, the showa riders in tokusatsu drama were all cyborgs. Their Henshin into Kamen Riders was due to their own modifications, causing physical changes.
However, Shiraishi Shin's Henshin was not a change in his body itself, but rather armor wrapping around him. It wasn't a physical mutation, and the Henshin effects were also very spectacular. Previously, they were too excited by the Henshin to consider this aspect.
Shiraishi Shin also admitted, "I am indeed not a cyborg, but one doesn't have to be modified to be called a Kamen Rider. I use this rider armor to transform and fight against you Kaijins to protect the world. I am still a Kamen Rider, after all, times have changed now."
"Alright, then let me see how powerful a Kamen Rider like you really is!"
Man-Spider spat out long, dissolving needles from his mouth. Shiraishi Shin dodged to his right. When he looked again, Man-Spider instantly covered the ten-meter distance between them and threw a punch.
Shiraishi Shin met Man-Spider's punch with his right palm. As the force pressed down, the concrete beneath his feet cracked under the strain. He pushed his right hand outwards, then lifted his leg for a horizontal sweep.
Man-Spider reacted quickly, leaping over Shiraishi Shin's shoulder. Without looking back, Shiraishi Shin swung his arm behind him, hitting Man-Spider's foot, causing him to miss his jump and fall to the ground. But he rolled forward with the momentum and quickly turned back.
Standing up, Man-Spider silently watched the Kamen Rider. He hadn't expected that a transformation simply involving armor could possess such power. He truly couldn't underestimate him.
Shiraishi Shin slowly turned around, extending his right hand and beckoning with his index finger towards Man-Spider in a provocative manner.
Man-Spider said nothing, bent his legs, stomped two footprints into the ground, and charged forward with a whirlwind, raising his hand in a chop aimed at Shiraishi Shin's neck.
Shiraishi Shin raised his left arm, adorned with blue flame patterns, to block. Then, clenching both hands into fists, he repeatedly hammered Man-Spider's chest, two consecutive punches sending the opponent stumbling backward.
Shiraishi Shin took two steps forward. Man-Spider again powerfully kicked with his right leg, which was once more blocked by Shiraishi Shin, the resulting gust of wind blowing his cape upwards.
Shiraishi Shin then forcefully chopped with his hand at the opponent's spider leg, creating an opening, and landed two more punches on Man-Spider's chest. The last punch, accompanied by blue flames, dealt critical damage.
Man-Spider's toes scraped against the ground as he slid backward seven meters before stopping. Then, in pain, he knelt on one knee, clutching his chest.
"So strong! We couldn't even injure Man-Spider when he hadn't fully transformed, yet he's gaining the upper hand against the fully transformed Man-Spider. As expected of a Kamen Rider!"
Shimamura Ichiyo's eyes were filled with shock. Was this the battle between a Kamen Rider and a Kaijin? The scenes from tokusatsu drama were truly unfolding before his eyes.
Tanzaburo Tojima looked at the handsome Shiraishi Shin excitedly and said, "I never imagined he could transform into other Kamen Riders besides Cronus. It's truly shocking for an entire year."
"This guy, he's actually gaining the upper hand against Man-Spider. It's incredible. Is this a Kamen Rider?"
Yukarisu stared intently at Kamen Rider Eternal, with his white armor and black cape.
"If only he could defeat the Kaijin like this."
Shimamura Mitsuba was still a bit nervous. After all, this Man-Spider wasn't just a grunt. He wondered if Shiraishi Shin could truly kill him.
[Heat!]
Shiraishi Shin took out the heat memory, activated it, and inserted it into his jacket. Its appearance could change in any way, but it gained enhanced fire attributes, allowing him to control the power of flames.
This Spider Kaijin's strength was not weaker than his. Eternal's punch power was seven tons, and this Man-Spider's punch power should also be around seven or eight tons.
But so what? His rider armor was designed to be stronger than its data suggested. As long as the opponent wasn't ridiculously several times stronger than him, he could still fight. After all, numerical values were only one aspect, and with other memories, there was even more room for maneuver.
"Hmm?"
After a few seconds of rest, Man-Spider stood up. Seeing the opponent take out something, he became wary. He had to admit that this armored Kamen Rider was indeed not weak.
Shiraishi Shin grabbed his cape and swung it forward. Combined with the power of the heat memory, he instantly unleashed a blast of scorching wind pressure to suppress Man-Spider.
He then sprinted forward, his right foot igniting with flames as he lightly leaped for a flying kick. The speed was so fast that Man-Spider couldn't dodge at all. He could only swing his fists to counterattack, but his attack speed was a bit slow. Just as he raised his hand, his attack hadn't landed, and Eternal's flaming flying kick struck him squarely in the chest first.
With the added power of scorching flames, Shiraishi Shin's kick dealt explosive damage. Man-Spider was sent flying over ten meters backward before crashing heavily to the ground, in too much pain to get up for a moment.
"Damn it, the power of that kick actually caused me such heavy injuries!"
Man-Spider struggled to his feet, looking up at Eternal slowly walking towards him, his heart filled with unwillingness. He was a Shocker Kaijin, so what if there were Kamen Riders in modern times? He couldn't lose!
Enduring the pain, he stood up with a roar, Man-Spider's willpower erupted, making a desperate struggle.
