On the screen, Steve threw the sword again.
"Bang!" The sword struck the cabinet and fell to the ground. He shouted, "Decade!"
Steve whispered, "Ultimate attack control!" before flying and kicking his opponent directly.
"Boom!" The sword exploded, releasing a raging flame and turning into ashes. After the explosion, two cards appeared in Steve's hand. The audience of the three realms watched in shock as Steve defeated two knights again.
Despite their reluctance, the audience didn't want Steve to be enemies with the knights. They didn't wish for the knights to die, especially since they weren't inherently bad people. However, they were now enemies of Steve, forcing a difficult choice. Although the death of a knight brought sorrow, they still sided with Steve, believing he had done nothing wrong. Why should the knights try to eliminate him? Didn't he deserve to live in this world?
At this critical moment, Yusuke appeared. He declared coldly, "I am the only knight left. Now, I will defeat you!" Yusuke immediately transformed into Kuuga's Ultimate Black Eyes Form.
However, Steve remained calm and retorted, "I don't care if you are the Ultimate or not! I have surpassed the Ultimate!"
The battle began. After several intense rounds, neither side emerged victorious. Yusuke eventually forced Steve to the railing. Feigning weakness, Steve pretended to be trapped. When Yusuke attacked again, Steve dodged at the last second, causing Yusuke to fall from the second floor. Steve immediately jumped down and landed directly on Yusuke's body.
"Bang!" The impact stunned the audience of the three realms. Steve's strategy was both cunning and ruthless. Though Yusuke tried to retaliate, Steve kicked him away with precision, impressing the audience with his cool and calculated moves.
Yusuke shouted, "I don't want to see anyone cry again. If I can protect everyone's smiles, I will turn into the ultimate darkness!" With those words, he transformed again and grabbed Steve, flying into the air with him. Yusuke whispered, "Steve, I can't let you continue to live. Let's go together!"
The two streaked across the sky like a comet, heading towards a building. The audience held their breath as the building erupted into flames and smoke. Steve had jumped down just in time, holding Yusuke's card in his hand. Yusuke was completely gone.
The audience of the three realms was left in a state of disbelief and sorrow. They had not wanted Yusuke to die, and his death left them feeling regretful. At this moment, Xia Hai approached Steve and said, "It's too much." Steve replied coldly, "So what!"
Xia Hai, now determined, declared, "Yalan! Let's go! Transform!" She transformed into a Kamen Rider with a stunning white armor. The audience marveled at her appearance, praising her beauty and strength.
Steve, unfazed, invited her to fight. Despite her relentless attacks, Steve did not retaliate, allowing her to strike him. Eventually, Steve repelled Xia Hai with a single palm strike. "Go on your way with peace of mind!" he said, before throwing away his sword and letting Xia Hai stab him.
"Puff!" Steve fell to the ground, coughing up blood. The audience was stunned. Xia Hai was equally shocked, shouting, "Why didn't you dodge my attack?" She never intended to kill him, only to fight.
Steve, in his final moments, handed Xia Hai a stack of cards and whispered, "Remember the knights I defeated. The only way I could communicate with them was through battle. You are the one who defeated me. That's great." He called her name one last time before closing his eyes and passing away.
Xia Hai, overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow, shook Steve's body and cried out his name. The audience, deeply moved, couldn't hold back their tears. Many lamented Steve's death, believing it was too cruel for two people who shared such deep emotions.
In the extraordinary chat group, members expressed their shock and sadness:
Funina: "Ah, how could this happen?"
Hu Tao: "Yeah, how could Steve die? He's the protagonist!"
Keqing: "It's heartbreaking. He wasn't a true villain."
Ningguang: "I cried so much!"
As the story continued, Haidong appeared, calling out to Steve, "Don't die!" Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed. Moon Rider Hongdu narrated, "The story of the knights was destined to disappear with time, but it remains in people's memory because of the battle with Decade. Now, it can continue again."
Xia Hai, surprised, saw familiar faces and realized the knights had been resurrected. However, when she asked about Steve's story, Hongdu replied, "Decade has no story." This revelation crushed Xia Hai, who felt her heart break.
The scene shifted again. Xia Hai and Haidong returned to the river where they had burned Steve's photo. Haidong sighed, "The knights have been resurrected, but Steve's ending remains a lonely, unthanked death. It's a beautiful but cruel ending."
Despite the despair, Xia Hai's hope reignited. She remembered she had taken a photo of Steve with her camera. Determined, she set out to develop it, believing that as long as someone remembered Steve, he could be revived. Yusuke, now resurrected, supported her efforts, assuring her that he would never forget Steve.
After some time, the photo of Steve developed, and his figure became clear. Steve was resurrected, slowly walking towards them. The audience erupted in joy, their earlier sorrow replaced with happiness.
Charlotte: "Steve is alive! That's amazing!"
Kiana: "I cried so much, but now I'm crying tears of joy!"
Xia Hai ran to Steve, calling his name with excitement. Steve smiled warmly at her and their friends. Accepting the camera and the card from Haidong and Yusuke, Steve vowed to continue capturing the world with his lens.
On the other side, the Bee Girl returned to Super Shocker, demanding, "Give me the power that surpasses God!" The story of the knights, their battles, and their bonds continued, promising new adventures and challenges ahead.
