Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Accepting the Mission, The Battle of Kamen Rider Decade



Decade World.

At this moment, Kamen Rider Decade, commonly known as Hokama Yukio, was resting inside the photo studio.

He casually opened up the chat group for a bit of idle scrolling.

That's when he saw a mission posted by Yuji Itadori.

Hokama Yukio paused, thinking quietly for a moment.

Over the past few days, Yuji had occasionally spoken in the group chat, so Hokama Yukio wasn't unfamiliar with him.

He knew that Yuji was a passionate, kind-hearted young man.

And he also knew what curses were like.

What's more…

Yuji had been very clear when posting the mission.

A Special Grade Curse, power level equivalent to being countered by cluster bombs and carpet bombing.

Although,

Hokama Yukio had never personally experienced being bombarded by cluster bombs.

Still, he felt… it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

More importantly,

The "Friendly Reminder" section of the mission,

Didn't really give off a vibe of immediate mortal danger.

So, Hokama Yukio decided to take the mission.

After all,

He'd heard about and seen the kind of rewards Carl had received for completing missions.

100,000 points!

That number was way too tempting.

If he relied solely on daily check-ins?

He'd need to check in for tens of thousands of days to earn that much.

But one mission,

And he could earn that in a single go.

Of course he'd take it.

Besides,

Hokama Yukio had been eyeing several items in the chat group's store for a long time.

Especially that Ohma Zi-O card.

That alone made it worth taking this mission.

"Besides… Carl is already crazy powerful."

"It's like the stuff in the group store doesn't even matter to him anymore."

"He's completed several missions already…"

"This one, let me take it instead."

"I'll make it up to him with a few good dishes later."

He smiled softly to himself.

After officially accepting the mission,

Hokama Yukio received the system notification from the group.

But he didn't teleport right away.

It'd be best to give Carl a heads-up first.

After all, Carl had helped him before.

With that thought, he entered the group chat.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Carl-san, let me handle this mission.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: There are still a lot of items in the store I really want.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: After I return, I'll cook a few dishes for you to make up for it.

『God Among Men』: Sure.

『God Among Men』: Hmm…

『God Among Men』: If possible, I'd like grilled meat, oden, and teppanyaki.

To Carl,

There weren't many items in the chat group store that interested him.

And the ones that did were outrageously expensive.

Even if he completed Yuji's mission and received 100,000 points…

He still wouldn't be able to afford the item he had his eye on.

So, for Carl,

Compared to point rewards…

The chance to visit other worlds, to meet characters he once knew only from fiction,

And maybe lend a hand to save them,

That held more value than points.

If Tendou Souji wanted to go, he should let him.

As long as the mission was completed, it didn't matter who did it.

Besides,

Carl had a good guess.

Tendou Souji probably wouldn't be in any danger.

So, he didn't have any objections.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Thank you, Carl-san!

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Don't worry, once I get back, I'll go buy the ingredients right away.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: With so many points, I can just exchange some for cash and stock up.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: I'm heading out now!

『God Among Men』: Good luck.

『Heavenly Blade King』: Go get 'em, Kamen Rider!

『What Do I Do with My Chūnibyō Little Sister』: Good luck!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: (???_??) Go Hokama Yukio!

Hokama Yukio smiled faintly as he read the group chat.

"Another world, huh… I can't wait."

He looked up and said to the system, "Begin teleportation."

As his voice fell, a mysterious force enveloped him.

The space in front of him began to blur.

Having experienced dimensional travel before, Hokama Yukio was quite used to it by now.

Soon, the chat group's transmission prompt came through.

At that moment, Hokama Yukio realized,

He had appeared inside an abandoned building.

It was decrepit and crumbling.

Not far from him stood a young man dressed in a red-and-black uniform.

Hmm… and his hair, pink.

Pink… Oh! The Pink-Haired Vessel?

Hokama Yukio made the connection.

A short distance away from them,

Stood a figure in black and white.

The creature's shape was grotesque and twisted, radiating malice.

One glance told Hokama Yukio it definitely wasn't human.

So this was the enemy?

So this was what curses looked like…

Damn, they were ugly.

Hokama Yukio looked toward Yuji Itadori and greeted him.

Hokama Yukio: "Yo, kid."

Hokama Yukio: "I'm the Passing Kamen Rider."

Yuji Itadori blinked in surprise.

Then, upon hearing the name, he immediately understood.

This was the guy from the group who had accepted his mission.

Yuji pressed his palms together, bowing.

Yuji Itadori: "Please, Kamen Rider, that thing's the curse!"

Yuji Itadori: "Help me eliminate it!"

Just earlier, he had tried to attack the Special Grade Curse with his cursed tool,

Only to have his hand chopped off.

So now, with his palms together like this, it looked a bit comical.

But seeing that, Hokama Yukio only raised an eyebrow.

He glanced around.

Only Yuji and the Special Grade Curse were present.

There was no need to ask.

Yuji's severed hand? Clearly the curse's doing.

With that thought, Hokama Yukio nodded and said,

Hokama Yukio: "Leave it to me."

Then, he clipped the belt around his waist,

And coolly inserted a card.

Hokama Yukio: "Henshin!"

A passionate voice echoed.

System Voice: "Kamen Ride…"

System Voice: "Decade!"

Green compound eyes and magenta armor materialized around him.

On his helmet was a design resembling a barcode.

The Kamen Rider, Decade.

Yuji Itadori: "Whoa, that's awesome!"

It was his first time seeing a Kamen Rider.

Yuji couldn't help but exclaim.

Kamen Riders really did look cool.

Hokama Yukio: "Let's go!"

Without hesitation, transformed Hokama Yukio drew the Card Case Sword from his waist,

And charged toward the grotesque Special Grade Curse.

At that moment,

The curse, who had been cackling wildly, froze.

He stared blankly at the sudden intruder.

His dim intellect couldn't comprehend how this new person had appeared.

But that didn't matter.

He couldn't sense any cursed energy from this new opponent.

Nor any pressure.

In other words,

This person…

Was just an ordinary human?

Although… the curse couldn't understand,

Why this "ordinary human" looked like some kind of bug.

But that didn't matter either.

The curse sneered.

He didn't move his body,

But swung his right hand upward in a vicious arc.

A brilliant golden beam of light shot forth,

Hurtling straight at Hokama Yukio!

BOOM!!

The golden energy slammed into Hokama Yukio, erupting into a massive explosion.
