Chapter 500

Seeing that Ankh ignored her question, the girl didn't ask any further.

She just told Su Tian, who was closer, to give the popsicle to Ankh.

At the same time, she muttered to herself:

"Seriously, I don't know what Mom is thinking!"

"She insisted on making me watch this popsicle shop; I was all ready to go to the anime convention."

Neither Su Tian nor Ankh paid any attention to the girl's complaints.

Su Tian opened the freezer, took out the popsicle Ankh had pointed at, and handed it to him.

Ankh took the popsicle and was just about to take a bite,

when suddenly,

from the direction to the right,

numerous exclamations came.

"Holy crap, what is that? It actually turned into that person's appearance?"

"Monster... a monster! A green monster!"

"Run, everyone run!"

Upon hearing these exclamations, Ankh's expression changed,

and he immediately rushed toward the right.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"You haven't paid yet!"

The girl behind Su Tian had been keeping an eye on Ankh, whom she thought was cosplaying.

Seeing Ankh dare to skip out on the bill, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock and anger.

"You wait here, I'll go chase him down!"

"Don't worry, he definitely won't get away!"

Seeing this, Su Tian immediately pacified the girl who was about to get up,

then vaulted out of the shop with his hands on the freezer.

After landing, Su Tian immediately gave chase.

Su Tian certainly wasn't chasing to get back the money Ankh hadn't paid,

but rather to find an excuse to escape that popsicle shop.

Coming to this dungeon world, Su Tian wasn't here to be a popsicle shop clerk.

"Green monster... it should be a Worm!"

Thoughts flashed through Su Tian's mind.

Sure enough,

not long after, Su Tian saw Ankh, who had stopped ahead,

and the Worm directly in front of Ankh.

A Worm that hadn't molted yet.

The surrounding pedestrians were all fleeing into the distance.

On the scene, the only ones who hadn't moved were Ankh and that Worm,

plus Su Tian, and a man with a gloomy expression not far from the Worm.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you later!"

"You'd better hide in a safe place for now!"

Ankh glanced at Su Tian, who had chased after him,

thinking Su Tian had chased him for the popsicle money.

The current Ankh was no longer the Ankh who knew nothing about the real world at the beginning.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, he wouldn't have run over immediately just now.

Su Tian knew Ankh had misunderstood, but he didn't explain,

instead focusing his gaze on the gloomy-looking man.

That man looked at the Worm before him with cold, gloomy eyes,

and said coldly:

"You Worms are truly disgusting!"

"Have you targeted me?"

As the man's words fell,

a large amount of heat began to rise from the Worm's body,

clearly about to molt.

Shandao snorted, unconcerned about the Worm about to molt before him,

but muttered to himself instead:

"Just right, let's test this Zecter given by the 'Desire Grand Prix'!"

As he spoke, Shandao extended his arm, revealing the Rider bracelet worn on it.

And the moment Shandao extended his arm,

everyone on the scene heard a 'buzz... buzz...' sound.

Looking up, they saw a mechanical wasp appear,

and fly in circles above Shandao.

"Kamen Rider TheBee?"

Su Tian raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing the identity of this mechanical wasp.

It was exactly the TheBee Zecter.

In other words, the person before him was also a participant in the 'Desire Grand Prix'.

And Ankh, beside Su Tian, clearly saw that the person before him was no ordinary person,

especially after seeing the Rider bracelet and the TheBee Zecter.

Ankh felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Has the number of people for the Desire Grand Prix been gathered? The battle for desire is about to begin!"

"Wait for me..."

Ankh said, looking at the three Core Medals that appeared in his hand.

The top of these three Core Medals was red, the bottom was green,

and the middle was a gradient yellow.

Su Tian glanced at them and recognized the identity of these three Core Medals.

"Taka, Tora, Batta... Core Medals!"

"In other words, his desire... or rather, his wish now is to resurrect him?"

Actually, Su Tian had already roughly guessed which timeline Ankh was from.

Although it was a parallel world, the plot progression seemed similar.

After being resurrected, he had lost the most important person.

For anyone, this would be hard to accept.

"Henshin!"

At this moment, Shandao leaped up, grabbed the TheBee Zecter flying above him,

and placed it on the Rider bracelet on his arm.

"Henshin!"

A mechanical sound effect rang out, and heavy armor enveloped Shandao.

Kamen Rider TheBee! Masked Form.

After transforming into Masked Form, Shandao immediately turned the TheBee Zecter.

"Cast Off!"

With a 'Bang!',

the heavy armor on Shandao's body exploded,

revealing the lighter Rider Form armor.
