Infinite Evolution of Kamen Rider

Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Kamen Rider Woz



"Huh? Why?!"

"You're an idiot!" Ryuga said bluntly, exasperated. "The Advent Calendar of the King of Every Devil is the personal chronicle of the King of Every Devil himself! Why would you bother recording someone else's deeds when you've got nothing better to do?"

"You should be looking for a book called The Advent of the Savior!"

"Savior?!" Gates's ears perked up immediately—he was particularly sensitive to that word now.

"Yes, just as you're thinking. The future Rider has already arrived."

"Stop overthinking it. Let's go check it out!" Sougo shouted as he rushed out. For him, saving people always came first.

"Woz, stay behind a moment," Ryuga said, halting him.

"Your Excellency Ryuga, do you have any advice for me?" Woz bowed respectfully.

"Huh? Why the sudden formality?" Ryuga raised an eyebrow.

"His Majesty, the future Demon King, informed me that to achieve your own goals, you'll certainly protect him. Therefore, you're trustworthy," Woz replied.

"That old devil..." Ryuga muttered. "Listen carefully—when you go out, you'll meet another version of yourself from a different timeline. He'll attempt to harm Sougo. Make sure you protect him."

"Yes!" Woz responded without hesitation. He didn't know what this other self was like, but if Sougo was in danger, there was no time to delay.

Elsewhere, another Woz—dubbed "White Woz" by Sougo and the others—had appeared. Unlike the current Woz, who served the Demon King, this White Woz hailed from the timeline of the Savior. He was a loyal aide to Gates the Resurrected—polar opposite to Black Woz.

Black Woz held the Almanac of Every Devil, a record of past history. White Woz, however, possessed a powerful e-book that could briefly manipulate the future itself—guiding events with alarming precision, often without anyone realizing his true intentions.

For instance, when Sougo and Gates encountered the Another Kamen Rider Ninja and were about to defeat him, White Woz used his e-book to manipulate events. Sougo's bike, Shibiao, suddenly spun out of control, separating him from Gates.

As White Woz prepared to use his book again to ambush Sougo and Tsukuyomi, Black Woz arrived just in time, rescuing both and regrouping with Gates.

"Gates! Another Woz just showed up!" Sougo called out.

"What are you talking about?" Gates looked confused. "Woz, explain!"

"I'm not entirely sure," Woz replied. "But according to Lord Ryuga, that Woz is from another timeline."

"Another timeline? Wait, could it be the Savior's main timeline?" Tsukuyomi said suddenly, recalling what Ryuga had revealed about the three branching futures.

The other two futures related to Sougo clearly didn't fit this version of Woz. The Savior's timeline was the only one that made sense, especially now that a 'future knight' had already appeared.

"Savior's main line...?" Woz repeated in confusion. He hadn't been there during Ryuga's spoiler-filled explanation.

Sougo gave him a quick summary.

"I see," Woz nodded, eyes sharpening with clarity. "Then that Woz must be here to support Gates!"

"Oh?" Gates was about to reply when the another ninja attacked again. He and Sougo jumped into action.

"How did it know where we are?!" Tsukuyomi asked in frustration.

"It's not that the another ninja knew," Woz said gravely. "It's that Woz—that Woz—used his book to guide it here."

"Correct," came a smug voice. White Woz stepped forward. "Any future I write in this book, no matter how improbable, will become reality."

"Really? Then why don't you go write something about His Majesty during the Devil's Time?" Black Woz sneered.

White Woz froze. If I could control the Demon King, would I be wasting time here arguing with you?!

"What exactly is your goal here?" Tsukuyomi asked sharply.

"For now, it's to acquire the Another Ninja," White Woz replied smoothly.

"Another Ninja?" she echoed.

"It's normal you haven't heard of it," White Woz said smugly. Just as he prepared to boast further—

"So it is a ninja-type another Rider!" Tsukuyomi turned to Black Woz, confirming the intel.

"As expected from Lord Ryuga's predictions. But acquiring the ninja Ride Watch will be difficult under these circumstances," Black Woz muttered. "Let's go check on His Majesty."

"Right."

Ignoring the flustered White Woz, the pair ran toward the battle between Sougo and the another ninja.

White Woz: "…"

Sougo and Gates had struck the another ninja multiple times, but without the appropriate Ride Watch, they couldn't fully defeat it. The enemy kept resurrecting—at full strength each time—draining their stamina.

"Can someone please come help already?!" Gates snapped, panting.

Trying to reclaim some dignity, White Woz finally appeared, bowing on one knee in front of Gates.

"Greetings, my Savior—slayer of the King on the Day of Every Devil!"

He looked up, expecting awe. But Gates had already de-transformed and was sitting with Sougo, catching his breath.

"As Ryuga predicted, someone did come to help us. So… you really are the 'resurrected,' huh?" Sougo remarked.

"This guy showed up way too late!" Gates grumbled. "I'm exhausted! He's nothing like my Woz! And that name—'Resurrected'? Doesn't that mean I have to die first?"

White Woz stood frozen. Who the hell is this Ryuga?! Why is everything unfolding exactly as he predicted? And why isn't he in any of the futures I've read?

Seeing him dazed, Gates barked, "Hey, you! Quit spacing out and do something!"

"Woz doesn't cry. Stand up!" Sougo cheered.

Black Woz, who had just arrived: "…"

"…Yes…" White Woz muttered, snapping out of it. He wearily took out a green belt and a square-shaped Rider Watch unlike the ones Sougo and Gates used.

[BeyonDriver!][Woz!][Action!]"Henshin…" (in a low, exhausted voice)[Projection! FutureTime!][Sugoi! Jidai! Mirai!](Awesome! Era! Future!)[Kamen Rider Woz! Woz!]

Cloaked in emerald light and futuristic shimmer, White Woz transformed into Kamen Rider Woz.

"He can transform?!" Sougo blinked.

"I said Woz doesn't cry—I never said he couldn't fight," Ryuga's voice echoed from a nearby rooftop.

"…Why do you two always show up above us?" Sougo muttered, irritated.

Because it looks more majestic, Ryuga would later reply smugly.

"Woz, you're hopeless," Sougo sighed, glancing at the awkward White Woz below.

"…Tch," White Woz clenched his fists.

Meanwhile, Gates was quietly pleased—at least his Woz wasn't that bad.

[ZikanDespear!] (Time Desperate Spear!)

Without a word, White Woz drew a spear and began engaging the another ninja. With his "newbie protection period" still in effect, Kamen Rider Woz quickly gained the upper hand, overwhelming the another ninja's defenses.

"The another ninja tried to resist," White Woz narrated, pulling out his e-book, "but was ultimately defeated by my Time Explosion flying kick!"
