Tsukuyomi blamed himself. "It's all my fault. I fell into Swartz's trap."
Minato Miharu quickly reassured him, "It's not your fault. It's mine. I didn't have enough courage."
Sougo asked, "Do you have a plan to save Gates?"
The scene changed. Sougo and his friends found White Woz.
Black Woz scoffed, "I didn't expect you to be resurrected."
White Woz smirked slightly. "It's been a long time, the other me."
Sougo stepped forward. "White Woz, help us. We want to save Gates."
White Woz tilted his head. "Do you think I will listen to you?"
Black Woz pulled out his belt. "I advise you to reconsider."
White Woz remained calm. "Threats won't work on me."
Then, he also pulled out a belt.
Black Woz was shocked. "You have a belt too?"
White Woz smiled. "In an alternate world, many things that were never possible here exist. However, my current goal aligns with yours—I want to help the savior Tianren."
"How do we save him?" Sougo asked.
White Woz explained, "The Dark Knights from the alternate world originated there, including me. To rescue the savior, we must enter the alternate world. Everyone will be in grave danger."
Sougo nodded, unfazed. "I'm prepared."
Water Knight spoke up. "I will summon my courage."
White Woz smiled. "Then let's begin the battle plan."
The audience across the three realms felt relieved. Earlier, they had feared White Woz would turn against Sougo and his friends again. But now, they saw him as an ally.
White Woz opened his book and wrote: "Minato Miharu and Kamen Rider Rider began their battle."
The audience marveled. "That book is like a cheat code! It's too amazing!"
Meanwhile, just as White Woz had written, Minato Miharu and Yongqi started fighting. Then, Sougo joined the battle as part of their rescue plan for Gates.
After a fierce battle, another Dark Knight arrived to support Yongqi. Simultaneously, the two Wozs clashed, mainly to deceive Swartz into believing White Woz was still on his side. This was crucial for the success of their rescue operation.
Eventually, Black Woz defeated White Woz with a single blow. At that moment, Swartz emerged, clapping. "That was quite a show! Now, let's do it again!"
He waved his hand, and another White Woz stepped out of a space vortex.
The audience was stunned. "What?! Didn't we just defeat White Woz? How is he back?"
"Is this an infinite loop?"
"This is too powerful! The enemy can just keep regenerating!"
In the battle, Tsukuyomi tried to stop White Woz by freezing time. However, he was unaffected and easily broke free. "A pity," he said, "you lack the strength."
With a swift move, he sent Tsukuyomi and Black Woz to the alternate world.
The audience gasped. "Oh no! What's going on?"
"Wasn't White Woz on our side?"
"Or is this all part of the plan?"
Sougo, seeing what happened, shouted, "Tsukuyomi! Woz!"
He rushed to attack Swartz, but Yongqi blocked him.
Swartz smirked. "Give up. You will never see them again."
Swartz activated multiple abilities. "Armor! Gas! Ace! Double Cavalry!"
Sougo countered, "Okay, tell me your sins!"
Yongqi struck first, and Sougo was knocked back. "I didn't lose," Yongqi taunted. "It was just the wind blowing."
With an energy surge, he unleashed a devastating attack. Sougo braced himself, blocking the blow with his arms.
The audience was tense. "Why isn't Sougo fighting back?"
Then the scene shifted. Sougo recalled White Woz's plan.
White Woz had said, "The Demon King must withstand Yongqi's Ultimate Drive attack. The Eternal Memory can destroy all worlds. We must draw Yongqi into the alternate world."
Sougo had wondered, "Can the Third Stage summon Gates and Woz across worlds?"
White Woz had admitted, "It's a gamble. But I believe the Third Stage is more powerful than we can imagine."
The audience breathed a sigh of relief. "So this was intentional!"
Sougo shouted, "Zi-O, Gates! Woz!"
He and Yongqi were pulled into the alternate world.
Yongqi was stunned. "What?! How did I end up here?!"
"Level 3 moment!"
"Level 3!"
Sougo dodged, and Yongqi's attack landed on the alternate world, causing it to crack like shattered glass. In a massive explosion, the alternate world collapsed.
Everyone trapped inside returned to reality, confused.
Sougo turned to Tsukuyomi. "Take Owada and the others away!"
Tsukuyomi nodded and led them to safety.
Yongqi, now free, smiled. "The wind is truly interesting!"
Sougo apologized. "I borrowed your power for a moment. Sorry."
Yongqi grinned. "No, thanks to you, I destroyed this world that only resurrected me. Now, I can return to my companions!"
He gave Sougo a thumbs-up before vanishing.
White Woz confirmed, "As I expected. The power of the Third Stage is the power of three people who care about each other. It transcends worlds."
Sougo was amazed. "So, the Third Stage can cross dimensions…"
Black Woz frowned at White Woz. "Why make a plan that erases your existence?"
White Woz smiled. "I told you, I just wanted to help the Savior. This is the possibility I failed to achieve."
The audience was moved. "White Woz is truly good at heart!"
But before White Woz could finish revealing Swartz's true goal, Swartz attacked, making him disappear.
The audience was furious. "What was Swartz's real objective?!"
Swartz smirked. "You thought you had won? Don't be so naive."
Black Woz instructed Gates, "Separate them from Swartz."
Swartz turned to Sougo. "You are alone, Tokiwa Sougo. Let's finish this."
Sougo's eyes narrowed. "I am not alone!"
Just then, the Water Rider attacked Swartz from behind. But Swartz froze time and struck him down.
Swartz sneered. "Tokiwa Sougo, you were always destined to be king. I have been protecting you, guiding you toward this fate."
Sougo was stunned. The words were identical to what he heard in his dreams. "How do you know this?!"
Swartz confirmed, "Because I am the one who told you."
Sougo was shocked. "Why?"
Swartz smirked. "Because all the knights' powers have gathered within you. And now, I will claim them for myself. I will be king!"
Time froze.
Sougo's eyes widened. "You're unfit to be king!"
Meanwhile, Gates and Woz destroyed the remaining Dark Knights.
Tsukuyomi pondered, "Swartz's actions seem to be leading Sougo to obtain the Supreme Emperor Zi-O's power."
Gates' face darkened. "I see it now. From the very beginning, Swartz had one target—Zi-O!"
The audience was in shock. "Swartz was manipulating Sougo since childhood?!"
"This was all part of his long-term plan!"
The chat group exploded with reactions.
Finnina: "Swartz is terrifying!"
Hu Tao: "He planned this since Sougo was a child?!"
Ningguang: "Sougo has been a pawn all along!"
Now, Sougo faced Swartz in a final duel.
Swartz sneered. "Defeat me, and my timeline will disappear—along with Tsukuyomi!"
Sougo's face changed. "What?!"
Swartz smirked. "You must choose."
Just then, the Water Rider rushed over. "Sougo, don't believe him! He's manipulating you!"
