The Time Mazine carried Zed and Skye to the rooftop of Genm Corp. They took a private elevator down, arriving directly at Zed's studio.
Zed didn't bother showing Skye around his own studio, instead leading her straight to Dan Kuroto's lab.
"Hah~ hah~ aah~~ ha~~~ haah! My God's Talent is truly terrifying! Even technology from the future cannot stop my progress! I am truly impressed with myself! How can someone as talented as me exist in this world! No! I am a god! Hah~ hahaha~~ haah~~ aah!"
Skye hadn't even entered the lab when she heard the maniacal laughter. She looked at Zed in shock, "Is there a madman in there?"
"Who are you calling a madman?"
Dan Kuroto's head popped out from the door frame. He had noticed Zed and Skye entering the company, but he was too excited to bother with them. Now that they were at the lab door, it was the perfect time to show off his God's Talent.
Dan Kuroto grabbed Zed's shoulders and shook him vigorously, shouting, "I've succeeded! I've conquered the future watch technology! Impressive, isn't it! My God's Talent is truly terrifying!"
Zed's head swung back and forth as he replied, "Yes! Yes! Dan Kuroto, your talent is unparalleled. Can you stop shaking me? I'm going to throw up!"
Woz, who had been living at the company, rushed to the lab entrance after receiving a message from Zed. Woz, with the self-awareness of a retainer, helped Zed out of the situation: "Since the experiment was successful, let's take a look!"
Dan Kuroto immediately let go of Zed after hearing this. He glanced at the three of them and said to Zed, "This woman is the assistant you found for me? She doesn't seem to know how to respect a god!"
"Maa maa maa~ Let her see it, and she'll understand!" Zed said, still feeling dizzy.
"Alright then! Come in with me! Let's admire the great miracle created by the god!" Dan Kuroto said, then took the lead and walked into the lab.
After the three of them entered, Zed saw the black and green watch on the table and couldn't take his eyes off it, as if he were seeing a nude beauty.
Skye, who had never seen the function of an activated watch, asked curiously, "You want me to activate a watch like this? What does it do?"
Seeing that Zed didn't react at all, Woz took the initiative to help explain:
"The Cronus Watch is a condensation of the power of Kamen Rider Cronus, it masters the authority of a part of the laws of time, and it is of great help to the growth of the Demon King's strength. By the way, I hope you, Miss Skye, can learn the etiquette of a retainer from me."
"Re-Retainer! What retainer! When did I become a retainer!" Skye shouted, her hair practically standing on end.
"Quiet! Stop interrupting me from looking at the beauty! Oh! Wait! It's the watch!" Zed scolded them both before heading towards the test bench.
Dan Kuroto stood to the side, saying, "As expected! Only you understand my talent! You're the way things should be. These two just don't appreciate it, truly ordinary people!"
As Zed picked up the Cronus Watch, Dan Kuroto explained to him, "I've completely analyzed the technology within the watch. After re-engineering my Gashat using this technology, I've built a bridge between the Gashat and the watch. After injecting your stored special power, the blank watch successfully absorbed the Gashat's power! What do you think! Are you amazed by my talent!"
Zed couldn't answer Dan Kuroto at this point. He pulled out the Ziku-Driver, holding both the Zi-O Watch and the Cronus Watch. He immediately transformed within the laboratory.
A clock symbol with Roman numerals appeared behind Zed. The symbol gradually embedded itself within the Zi-O clock symbol before enveloping Zed.
Woz flicked his scarf, opened Ohma ZI-O's Book and stepped forward, turning to face Dan Kuroto and Skye, and loudly declared:
"Celebrate! The time king who inherits the power of all Riders, is able to travel through time, and understands the past and the future! The Rider of the Heavens, engraving the annals, this very moment, is the moment of ultimate perfection!
Kamen Rider Zi-O - Cronus Armor is born at this moment of ultimate perfection!"
It has to be said, Cronus armor's appearance is absolutely top-notch. The black base with green stripes on the skirt is a symbol of strength, and Zed couldn't help but flick the skirt, a surge of pride welling up in his heart.
Not only did pride surge up, but Zed could feel his time power had also increased by a large margin, even faintly sensing the gaze from Kamar-Taj. After a glance at the Ancient One, both of them averted their eyes.
Skye, on the side, looked at the three of them with a slightly strange expression.
Woz had been busy recording the congratulatory speech; Dan Kuroto stared at the Cronus armor as if it were a work of art, occasionally praising himself; while Zed kept playing with his skirt.
"Alright! Can anyone explain this to me!" Although Zed's transformation effects were really cool, Skye, who didn't understand at all, didn't know what the Roman numerals meant.
Zed stopped playing with the skirt and said to Skye, "You can understand it as my strength has had a qualitative leap. A real qualitative leap." After saying that, Zed couldn't help but play with the skirt again.
Ehehehe~
After a long period of calm, Skye could finally communicate normally with the trio. Skye took out a notebook and said, "You asked me to bring this!"
Zed gestured for Dan Kuroto to take the notebook and said:
"Shrimp dumplings! New York is about to have a major incident! The location is on the computer. Start monitoring it! Also, Matt will probably be at this gathering. This time, I must get Matt to activate the Watch!"
Dan Kuroto said calmly, "How big?"
"Dragon Bone! Real Dragon Bone! Not a dinosaur fossil!"
"Wow~ Aaaah!!"
Dan Kuroto took the computer and began operating in a way that made heads hurt. Only Skye could barely keep up with Dan Kuroto's finger movements, slightly understanding the meaning of each line of code.
Skye finally believed that the madman in front of her was truly a big shot, the kind who could leave her in the dust. It was precisely because she could understand a little that the gap felt so huge, unlike the other two beside her who understood nothing.
Now, Dan Kuroto and Skye were staring at the computer, while Woz was constantly studying celebratory phrases, and Zed, who had reverted from his transformation, had become idle. Taking advantage of this time, Zed checked his storage space. Upon checking, Zed was stunned, and with a strange expression, he returned to his studio.
In a short while, Dan Kuroto had successfully taken over all the surveillance near the building The Hand had bought, and he also included Matt.
Coincidentally, Zed returned to the lab at that moment. The three of them looked up at Zed, who was wearing a suit, their expressions blank. Dan Kuroto's jaw dropped. "Did you steal Masamune Dan's suit?"
The suit fit perfectly, and Zed looked quite the part in it.
Zed tugged at his collar and exhaled. "The collar is a bit tight, but it's not bad overall, right? This is good enough to enter high society, even though I rarely need to. But, it's better to be prepared! How are things on your end?"
The three of them came to their senses. "We've completely hacked into their surveillance. There's a blind spot near an elevator in the company, and although many people use it, the intervals are long. That's probably where they enter the underground. Should we go in directly?"
Zed shook his head, rejecting the idea. "First, monitor Matt. Matt is the primary target; Dragon Bone is secondary. We'll follow Matt's actions. Before that, I need to go out."
Skye immediately stood up, wanting to follow Zed. "Where are you going? I want to go too!"
Zed flicked a playful blow on Skye's head. "I'm going to find Kingpin. What good would you do following me? Stay here and watch and learn. You have a big shot right here, and you don't appreciate it. Don't always try to stir up trouble. Woz, let's go."
"Yes! My Demon King!"
As they passed the workshop, Zed specifically took three low-quality Another Watches with him. Then, he piloted the Time Mazine to the top of Kingpin's building. Kingpin's office was conveniently located in the penthouse suite. Woz, with one hand on the edge of the rooftop, slashed open the glass with his weapon, and the two of them entered Kingpin's office.
Kingpin, sitting in his office, heard the sounds coming from the adjacent room and immediately realized someone had infiltrated his office through the window. He was just about to reach for a weapon.
Knock! Knock!
A gentle knocking sound echoed. After a moment of thought, Kingpin said, "Since my friend has arrived, please come in."
Woz opened the door for Zed. Kingpin saw that it was a clockwork man and another armored figure entering his office. He realized firearms were useless against them and released his grip on the gun. Lighting a cigar, he slowly said, "I've heard of you for a while, but I've never known your name. Could you tell me?"
Zed unceremoniously sat down on the sofa opposite Kingpin and said, "Kamen Rider Zi-O, and this is my retainer, Kamen Rider Woz."
"So, what brings Mr. Zi-O here in the middle of the night?" Kingpin was certain these two had a purpose and wouldn't attack him directly.
Zed crossed his legs and said, "I heard you've been getting close to the Hand recently? How's your cooperation with Madame Gao going? Enjoying it? Making good money?"
Kingpin thought Zi-O was angry with him because of the Hand and immediately tried to distance himself. "It's just normal business cooperation. I'm just using those Japanese ninjas, and they're using me."
"So, you don't know about the Dragon Bone!"
"What Dragon Bone?"
"Nothing much, just the genuine dragon skeleton that grants longevity and resurrection, nothing important. Since you don't know, there's no need for you to know," Zed sneered.
Kingpin finally understood the purpose of this guy's late-night visit: he wanted him to clash with The Hand. However, the allure of the Dragon Bone was too great; Kingpin couldn't bring himself to refuse directly.
This bait was too enticing!
"What do you want me to do?"
Zed tossed the low-quality Another Watch in his hand, smiling without speaking.
