Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

BOOM!!

A deafening explosion shook the ground.

Yuji Itadori's heart skipped a beat.

"This is bad!"

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Kamen Rider!!

He knew exactly how terrifying that Special Grade Curse was.

With just a breath, the monster could unleash a massive explosion.

The ground within a hundred meters looked like it had been hit by a bombing run.

Even solid pavement was blasted apart.

So what would happen to a human body?

Yuji was deeply worried about Kamen Rider.

After all,

He was the one who posted the mission in the chat group.

If someone were to die because of his request…

Yuji would be devastated.

He dashed toward the thick smoke caused by the blast, wanting to see if Hokama Yukio was still okay.

Then,

A calm voice came from within the haze.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: No need to worry.

Yuji's heart leapt with joy.

He's okay!?

Sure enough, as the smoke cleared, the magenta-armored Kamen Rider stood tall, completely unscathed.

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: You're alright, Kamen Rider!

Hokama Yukio glanced at Yuji without a word.

So this curse has some real bite to it...

Just as Hokama Yukio was about to resume his assault,

The Special Grade Curse lunged at him, swiping its vicious claws.

Too fast.

Before Hokama Yukio could react, the claws connected.

WHAM!

Hokama Yukio was knocked flying.

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Kamen Rider!!

Yuji shouted in panic.

But the curse didn't stop, it turned on Yuji and sent him flying with a swift kick.

Meanwhile, Hokama Yukio got back on his feet.

Thanks to his transformation, he hadn't taken any serious damage.

Fast... way too fast.

Hokama Yukio narrowed his eyes and pulled out a card.

He slid it into his belt.

"Kamen Ride..."

"Kabuto!"

In an instant, his magenta armor shifted into the crimson-black armor of Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Glancing over at Yuji, who was getting beaten badly, Hokama Yukio didn't hesitate.

He pulled out another card and inserted it.

"Attack Ride..."

"Clock Up!"

He flicked the belt forward.

The transformed Kamen Rider Kabuto , Hokama Yukio , vanished in a flash, charging at the Special Grade Curse.

The curse had just slammed Yuji into a wall and was building up another sphere of golden cursed energy.

Yuji, dazed and aching from the impact, looked on wide-eyed.

Suddenly,

Hokama Yukio appeared behind the curse in an instant, back facing the monster.

The curse didn't even seem to notice him.

Hokama Yukio inserted another card.

"Final Attack Ride..."

"Ka-ka-ka-Kabuto!!"

Electricity surged from his belt, crackling across his armor.

He spun sharply, delivering a lightning-fast rider kick directly to the curse's chest.

BOOM!

The curse flew backward like a ragdoll, crashing through the wall and skidding across the ground for hundreds of meters.

Did it work?

Hokama Yukio watched, uncertain.

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: That was amazing, Kamen Rider!!

Yuji was elated.

After all,

That Special Grade Curse had been utterly overwhelming from the moment it appeared.

Back when he and Megumi Fushiguro first encountered it, they had been frozen by its sheer presence.

Since then, it had been nothing but a one-sided beatdown.

Now, seeing Hokama Yukio fight back and launch the curse across the room,

Yuji felt a spark of hope.

And that overwhelming pressure?

Gone, at least for now.

Just as Yuji was catching his breath,

WHAM!

A shadow blasted toward Hokama Yukio.

It was another ball of golden cursed energy.

But Hokama Yukio didn't flinch.

With Kabuto's speed and the power of Clock Up, he easily dodged and reappeared before the curse again.

"This thing's... still not hurt?"

He was genuinely surprised.

Even Kabuto's rider kick hadn't made much of a dent.

Still, he wasn't discouraged.

The curse might be fast, but not faster than him.

And with Kabuto's power, he could hit it over and over without being touched.

"Guess I should do more missions like this."

"This one's pretty simple."

"Here I come, 100,000 points!"

Realizing he held the speed advantage, Hokama Yukio came up with a battle strategy.

Well, not much of a strategy.

Just hit it. Fast.

Without hesitation, Hokama Yukio attacked again.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

He flashed around the battlefield, slamming the curse with strike after strike.

,

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Whoa... what is that!?

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Is that all Kamen Rider!?

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: That's incredible!

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: I can't even see how he's moving!

Yuji stood off to the side, stunned.

He couldn't track Hokama Yukio's movements at all.

But that was to be expected , this was Kabuto's Clock Up.

Even though Yuji had cursed energy now, he was still far from being on that level.

Even if he reached Special Grade one day,

He might still be unable to follow a Clock Up user.

All he could see were flashes,

Hokama Yukio darting back and forth.

The Special Grade Curse getting knocked around like a punching bag.

Hokama Yukio wasn't getting hit once.

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: The chat group members… they're really on another level.

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: If this keeps up, it's just a matter of time before he wins.

Yuji murmured with awe.

But Hokama Yukio had a bad feeling.

Despite repeatedly landing hits, the curse wasn't taking any real damage.

He was pushing it back with sheer speed, sure,

But the thing looked almost... fine.

Still lively. Still laughing.

"Not enough firepower, huh..."

Hokama Yukio pulled out the K-Touch device.

He inserted a card.

Then he began tapping.

"Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz..."

"Final Kamen Ride, "

"Decade!"

He assembled the K-Touch onto his belt.

Suddenly,

Nine Rider cards appeared across his chest.

A tenth appeared above his head.

Decade , Godmaster Form.

Now in his ultimate form, Hokama Yukio moved quickly.

He tapped the Kabuto icon.

"Kabuto."

"Kamen Ride... Hyper."

In an instant,

All nine Rider cards transformed into Kabuto.

Beside him, a projection of Hyper Kabuto materialized.

Hokama Yukio pulled out one last card and inserted it.

"Final Attack Ride..."

"Ka-ka-ka-Kabuto!!"

He and Hyper Kabuto both leapt into the air.

Together, they unleashed a devastating double rider kick straight at the Special Grade Curse
