Chapter 143: Kamen Rider Eden
He fell to his knees on the ground, his limbs twitching incessantly, and his original strength could only barely support his body.
Yet he remained standing, and the various memory interface patterns on his chest began to wildly sprout at this moment.
At this moment, Jingshan Shenhonglang split his mouth wide and began to laugh loudly.
Standing beside him, Yuansai Ryuhei's expression showed a hint of surprise as he soothed Mik, who was trembling from fright.
Jingshan Shenhonglang did not become a Mixed Body; rather, all his memory interfaces merged into a single sheet.
Yet this foreshadows something extremely dangerous for W.
It is that the Weather Mixed Body formed from Jingshan Shenhonglang has evolved again, and it may not be as simple as merely getting a little stronger.
He can, without any preparation, directly insert the Wind God Pterosaur memory, and even forcibly tear apart the Fear Swamp.
This shows that his strength might briefly contend with the evolved Fear Memory, and more importantly, he has not yet become a Mixed Body.
"Clap clap clap." The sound of applause came from afar.
"Looks like the museum has gained another powerful ally," Jiang Xia said.
"Just luck, I didn't expect Jingshan could absorb the Wind God Pterosaur memory."
Yuansai Ryuhei said with a delighted smile.
"Then let me test his combat power; if the performance satisfies me, the museum's investment for the next quarter could increase significantly."
Jiang Xia looked at Jingshan Shenhonglang, who had stood up as if nothing had happened, turned his head and said to Yuansai Ryuhei.
Whether he's satisfied or not is just his own words, it doesn't matter.
"Alright, then please have the envoy stay alert."
Jingshan Shenhonglang gave a faint smile; he was now worried about having nowhere to test his power.
The combination of the Wind God Pterosaur and Weather produced effects far stronger than the abilities he had previously absorbed.
"Then let's change the location." Yuansai Ryuhei turned into a Fear Mixed Body, enveloping the arriving Yuansai Saeko and Yuansai Wakana within.
The Fear Swamp possesses teleportation abilities, allowing free movement through the swamp, essentially acting like a mage who masters large‑range teleportation.
Jiang Xia stood still without moving; he simply wanted to observe the Fear Swamp's abilities and the principle of its spatial relocation.
What differences does it have compared to the abilities of Spatial Memory?
The speed is decent; feeling the teleportation of the Fear Swamp, Jiang Xia proactively touched it.
The fearful spiritual power is indeed a useful tool against those who cannot resist mental attacks, but against him, its effect is minimal.
If it were the ultimate form of Fear Memory, it might cause some trouble, but now it's still lacking.
In the blink of an eye they arrived at an open area, desolate and uninhabited, the perfect place for battle.
Jiang Xia also produced the Lost Driver; this is a test, not a fight, otherwise all beings are equal under the Magic Emperor Sword.
Seeing the Lost Driver in Jiang Xia's hand surprised Yuansai Ryuhei greatly.
It turned out Conglomerate X had also cooperated with that woman, and apparently this had been the case for a long time.
This gave him a strange feeling, as if his left and right hands had split apart and started fighting each other, tripping one another.
Yet Conglomerate X is truly surprising, investing simultaneously in two opposing forces; after all, they are merchants, not warriors.
"Weather"
"henshin (transformation)"
When the Demon Memory and Weather Memory sounded simultaneously, the sky suddenly changed.
In an instant the sky filled with dark clouds, fierce winds and sudden rain, pouring down from above.
A zigzag lightning flashed within the clouds, and in the ink‑black sky, occasional straight bolts struck the ground.
The wind howled, and raindrops collided in the air, shattering into fragments.
The body of Jingshan Shenhonglang, swept by the gale, was bathed in white light as the Weather Memory manifested.
As before, there seemed to be no change, except a pair of delicate wings appeared on his back.
Jiang Xia's transformation, aided by the Lost Driver, is far more exaggerated,
his whole body was filled with fragments, and two massive black wings large enough to cover the sky burst from his back, swiftly enveloping him.
A scorching light slowly radiated, conveying not only warmth but also solemnity and grandeur, as the wings behind flared dramatically.
The surrounding torrential rain that had surged outward instantly froze in midair, as if gravity had vanished, hovering weightlessly.
The only thing interlaced within the rain was the scattered white light, constantly flashing through the downpour.
Within the white light stood a knight crowned on his head, clad in white metallic armor adorned with patterns that flowed like crystal.
The black wings behind transformed into a cloak that seemed to devour light, shrouding the surroundings in dark shadows.
As he passed, the hovering rain struck his armor directly, as if a thin layer of light had settled upon it.
On the metal armor's surface, two shimmering golden eyes shone like suns, illuminating the surroundings.
Kamen Rider Eden!
Of course, it's the Gaia Memory version, not the Zero‑One version.
"Hahaha, it seems Conglomerate X also has geniuses; to be able to exploit a memory to this extent."
The Fear Mixed Body beside him began to laugh loudly, and the shadow behind it started to warp slightly, clearly also attracted.
Amid wind and rain, the Weather Mixed Body gently waved its arms, the gale began to howl, the vapor condensed, and the surrounding crimson lightning continuously coalesced.
He was like a weather‑controlling mage, simultaneously summoning a hurricane, torrential rain, and lightning.
It even evolved into an incomparable massive wave that surged toward Jiang Xia.
The typhoon linking heaven and earth, a ferocious wave rivaling a tsunami, and blood‑red lightning all struck at such speed that Jiang Xia was almost instantly engulfed.
However, it only swallowed him; on the white metallic arm, a halo suddenly flickered, slowly expanding.
Jiang Xia's right hand gradually shifted, drawing forth a streak of light that slashed directly at the incoming typhoon; his movement was slow, yet constantly exuded power.
It split the storm in two, and the blade of light sliced the raging wave before him, revealing the original ground beneath.
"The weather ability is indeed powerful; combined with the original wind‑control skill, pairing it with a golden memory core like the Wind God Pterosaur is exceptionally fitting, but manipulating celestial phenomena, I've been bored with that for a long time."
Jiang Xia grasped the short blade that materialized in his hand.
No, it should be called a dagger.
It shifted into different forms like flowing water.
The weapon memory core can conjure any weapon out of thin air, provided you understand it well enough.
"Although it's only a simulation, the power seems fairly decent; the Eternal Dagger can also bear the power of the Devil memory core!"
Jiang Xia gave a slight tremor; the Eternal Dagger in his hand transformed into flowing water that ran along the blade, extending forward and solidifying rapidly.
For Jiang Xia, who has learned most of Yuansai's textual knowledge, creating a combat‑ready weapon out of thin air with the aid of a weapon memory core is a very easy task.
The front half of the Eternal Dagger abruptly elongated, becoming a white longsword equipped with a memory‑core slot.
"It should be called the Eternal Sword now," Jiang Xia thought.
