Chapter 18: Shining Hopper! Do You Remember? What Is the Strongest Sense of Oppression!

【Progrise! The Rider Kick increases the power by adding to brightness! Shining Hopper! When I shine, darkness fades】

（Progrise! Radiant light, sweeping kick! Radiance appears, darkness vanishes! ）

When the Shining Hopper Ride Card is inserted.

Instantly, a dazzling demolition locust appears.

Last time was still used outdoors.

Now inside this company.

The demolition locust shows no mercy whatsoever.

The moment it appears, it hops around wildly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Deep pits and marks instantly appear on the floor.

The Jianghuai Biotechnology lobby, once filled with battle scars, was now utterly wrecked and unrecognizable.

The entire building shook as if it might topple over.

"What?!"

"Such a huge locust!"

Yin Dou and Gang Dou, who had been charging forward, froze in place, pointing in horror.

The Shining Hopper immediately kicked them both.

The terrifying kick force sent their bodies flying, slamming hard into the walls.

They looked like they couldn't be pried off.

In a certain sense, it was indeed demolition.

But it was also the unique Invincible transformation of Zero-One.

With that kick force, who dares approach?

The Shining Hopper leapt up and kicked again! "Enough!"

"If you keep destroying like this, I won't be able to find any clues."

Su Jing quickly interrupted the Shining Hopper.

As his words ended.

The originally pitch-black base form of Zero-One suddenly swelled with muscle.

And the Shining Hopper transformed into armor, covering his entire body.

Zero-One Shining Hopper appears!

"Zero-One! You can still transform into Zero-One!"

Lin Sheng felt something was wrong.

How to put it.

Su Jing held that magenta-colored Driver; even if they called themselves Decade, they weren't truly afraid.

But Zero-One was different!

Zero-One's reputation was forged through three years of killing! Perhaps stronger Riders had emerged in the past two years.

But they certainly weren't these two! "This is... Shining Hopper, but I remember he shouldn't have this power!"

Xilina, beside him, watched calmly, showing no intention to interfere.

But seeing the Shining Hopper, she couldn't help being stunned.

She wasn't surprised by the Rising Hopper.

Because in fact, last night she had taken the Zero-One Driver and gone to find Su Jing.

After all, the Chairman's order was to return the Driver to Su Jing.

If the person was gone, how could she return it?

She just hadn't expected to see him that night pulling out a magenta—ah, magenta-colored Driver and fighting.

And transforming into Zero-One's form! But Xilina clearly remembered that the Rising Hopper had been used against Yan Qing that night.

When had he obtained this Shining Hopper?!

After this Secret Key was completed, it shouldn't have been in his possession.

Xilina tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand.

And at this moment.

Su Jing, transformed into the Shining Hopper, clapped his hands.

"I still prefer using Zero-One."

"Now, remember well!"

"Who is the strongest in this world, you vermin who were protected by me yet betrayed me!"

Su Jing took one step forward.

Boom!!

Terrifying kick force erupted, shattering the ground instantly.

The Shining Hopper's body vanished from its original spot.

Like teleportation, only brilliant golden electric arcs remained visible.

Danger surged toward him; Lin Sheng frantically twisted his Transformation Bracelet.

The Wasp transformation requires no Driver, only the Bracelet.

"Transformation!"

Yellow armor began spreading over his body.

But it hadn't fully covered him yet.

Boom!!

The body of Shining Hopper appeared, delivering a heavy kick that smashed directly into him.

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the newly transformed Kamen Rider Kabuto, even with the protection of his Rider Form's thick armor, was instantly blasted away as if losing control.

He crashed heavily into the wall behind him.

The wall, unable to bear the weight, crumbled instantly as cracks spread across it.

Kabuto's body flew into the adjacent room.

"Captain Lin Sheng!"

Seeing this, Kabuto and GinDou immediately felt their scalps go numb, as if struck by lightning.

Defeated in an instant! Is this the pressure of the former strongest, Kamen Rider Zero-One! But now...

There was no time to be shocked, because Shining Hopper had turned his gaze toward them.

That tall, slender body, with compound eyes slightly resembling blood-red, glanced at them.

In an instant!

Golden arcs of electricity appeared, and then, as expected, Shining Hopper materialized.

Shining Hopper's power is to unleash the body's potential.

It is specifically designed to counter artificial intelligence prediction capabilities.

Artificial intelligence can collect vast amounts of data through combat, then predict an opponent's abilities, attack directions, and so on.

But Shining Hopper, by unleashing the body's potential, forcibly exceeds the predicted data range.

For example, in your original data prediction...

He would arrive before you in 0.3 seconds.

This would give you time to defend.

But Shining Hopper arrives in 0.1 seconds!

The data prediction becomes useless, unable to yield an accurate result.

Therefore, Shining Hopper is essentially a Secret Key whose power scales with the user's strength.

It truly depends on the user's skill!

Paired with Su Jing, a skill freak, the effect is maximized!

"Clock Up!!"

"Clock Up!"

Kabuto and GinDou immediately Cast Off, then activated Clock Up.

But they still felt they couldn't keep up!

The opponent's movements were too fast!

Boom! The moment GinDou's user entered Clock Up, he was attacked! Shining Hopper's punch, filled with terrifying power, completely overwhelmed the strength of Kabuto-series Riders and smashed directly into GinDou.

Boom! GinDou's body instantly lost control and was blasted away.

"GinDou!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xin immediately drew Kabuto's weapon, the Kabuto Double Swords.

Like the double horns of a rhinoceros beetle, they charged toward Su Jing.

But the weapon had barely been swung...

... when it was kicked away by a single kick.

"Clang!"

The double swords fell to the ground, emitting a trembling sound.

"What!" Kabuto's eyes widened in disbelief.

Then!

Boom! A punch smashed into his face.

Boom! A horizontal kick struck his chest squarely! Boom! Boom! Boom! In an instant, a storm-like assault rained down continuously upon him! The God of War Kabuto, after all! As everyone knows, his skin is thick and his flesh tough.

Those who cannot endure it would never gain the approval of the Kabuto Beetle.

Like GinDou, who was blasted away by a single punch! Kabuto still withstood three punches.

Truly worthy of the name God of War!

But ultimately, it changed nothing.

Boom! Accompanied by a heavy sound, his body was severely injured and sent flying.

He crashed heavily onto the ground.

Basically lost combat capability.

This is Zero-One Shining Hopper.

A form that depends entirely on the user's skill.

A form that allows Su Jing's superhuman physical constitution and skills to be fully displayed! It was also the form Su Jing liked most before.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to complete it; later, when he did, his body could no longer support its use.

Now, using Decade's power, he has finally fulfilled his dream! And at this moment...

The three Riders of the Jianghuai Knight Association...

The most embarrassing was undoubtedly Kabuto.

Defeated immediately after transforming.

Kabuto at least withstood a few more hits.

Although that only made him look even worse.

Now lying on the ground, his transformation undone, mouth agape, eyes shut, his wretched state was pitiful beyond measure.
