Although Madame Gao's mastery of qi was the strongest among the Hand's five fingers, the fundamental difference in their realms meant that her qi was immediately dissolved upon entering Zedd's body.
The Oma power held absolute dominance within Zedd, allowing no desecration. Somewhat disappointed after mocking Madame Gao, Zedd took out the Cronus Watch Dial, preparing to test its combat effectiveness.
The Rider of the Heavens transformed and walked towards Madame Gao at a leisurely pace, his skirt swaying.
Madame Gao, watching the Time King approach, felt her hairs stand on end. Her battle instincts, honed through countless trials, told her she had to go all out, or there would be no future.
Madame Gao channeled all her qi, bringing her state to its peak, and attacked Zedd once more. This time, she didn't attempt a head-on clash, her swordsmanship becoming varied, cunning, and ruthless.
The qi attached to her blade could theoretically harm Zedd, but that was all.
Facing Madame Gao's blade, Zedd merely blocked with the armor on the back of his hand, yet he always managed to intercept her attacks a step ahead. No matter how Madame Gao changed her sword moves, she couldn't break through Zedd's defense.
Zedd, facing the astonished Madame Gao, said, "You've changed enough, but you're… not fast enough!"
Zedd kicked Madame Gao away with his left foot after speaking. Madame Gao blocked the kick with her sword, using the force to retreat. But Zedd, as if teleporting, reappeared before her.
A black and green fist grew larger in Madame Gao's vision, finally connecting with her face in a stunning blow. The punch sent Madame Gao rolling several times, smashing into some oil tanks before stopping.
Zedd flicked his skirt and said flirtatiously, "I haven't even used any strength, and you're already down? Weren't you going to show me the power of Qi? Didn't you study hard at Kunlun?"
Madame Gao pushed the oil drums off of herself and stood up, leaning on her sword. Her composure was gone, and she screamed, "Stop him!"
These Hand ninjas, brainwashed from childhood, didn't know fear. Even as Zedd exuded a terrifying aura, they didn't hesitate and charged at him, completely obeying Madame Gao's orders.
"Stop! Time!"
Green light erupted from Zedd, and he vanished from sight.
In a world where time had stopped, Zedd calmly walked in front of each Hand ninja, either punching or kicking, striking once before moving to the next target. After attacking all the ninjas, he walked in front of Madame Gao and released the time stop.
In the eyes of the others, Zedd had instantly teleported in front of Madame Gao, while the ninjas who had been blocking the way inexplicably fell in various directions. They were still marked with all sorts of special effects, and after the explosions, not even ashes remained.
"How is this possible! What exactly happened? Where did these attacks come from?" Luke Cage stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Jessica had seen Genm use this kind of strange special effect before, so she wasn't too surprised, but she still couldn't understand what had happened in that instant.
Frank guessed that Zedd had completed a series of attacks at an extremely fast speed, but even Frank couldn't be completely sure. He was still wondering what kind of speed could be so fast that there wouldn't even be afterimages, making it completely impossible to capture.
Matt, who had no vision, found the situation even more difficult to understand.
After Zedd appeared in front of Madame Gao, he wasn't in a hurry to attack. It wasn't time for Madame Gao to kick the bucket yet. Zedd wanted Madame Gao and the others to open the Dragon Bone Seal before they died, squeezing out every last bit of value.
So, he deliberately held back, letting Madame Gao catch her breath, and said, "If this is all you've got, you're going to be history today!"
Madame Gao couldn't just sit and wait for death. Holding a sword in her right hand and a cane in her left, she took the initiative to attack Zedd, shouting, "Attack together!"
Upon hearing the order, the remaining ninjas abandoned their opponents and charged towards Zedd. Matt and the others could only hold back a portion of them. This time, the Hand was truly going all out.
"Success or die trying!"
"A bunch of ants!"
Zedd, aiming to go easy on them, didn't use Time Stop again, instead engaging the ninjas with his bare hands and feet.
The Time Needle Blade shone brightly, its intense light clearing the area directly in front of Zedd, leaving nothing behind, not even ashes, for those unfortunate enough to be caught in its path. Xin emerged from behind Zedd at this moment, her dagger aimed directly at his heart.
Zedd swung the Time Needle Blade back, blocking Xin's blade, but one of Zedd's hands was now occupied.
Zedd punched and killed a ninja who was pouncing at him. After the ninja's body exploded, Madame Gao suddenly appeared behind him, her cane pressing down on Zedd's still-extended left hand, while her right hand aimed a sword at Zedd's neck.
Facing Madame Gao's killing blow, Zedd released the Time Needle Blade with his right hand and caught Xin's blade with his bare hands, sliding down the blade and grabbing Xin's hand. A massive force erupted from his right arm, grabbing Xin and using her as a weapon, swinging her towards Madame Gao.
Madame Gao naturally wouldn't care about Xin's life or death. After all, he wasn't her disciple, and even Xin's master, Murakami, wouldn't hesitate in this situation.
The blade pierced through Xin's abdomen, going in white and coming out red, continuing towards Zedd's neck, as if it wouldn't stop until it pierced Zedd's neck.
Zedd didn't expect the ruthless Madame Gao to care about Xin's life or death either. His right hand released Xin, whose abdomen was pierced. He pressed down with all his might, using immense force to force the blade's trajectory to change.
Clang!
Madame Gao's blade finally struck the heavy chest armor, causing no damage. The force transmitted also had no effect on Zedd.
Having failed, Madame Gao immediately withdrew her blade and fled without hesitation. Matt and the others pursued, fighting with Madame Gao as they went, disappearing from Zedd's sight.
Zedd was happy that Madame Gao had escaped and pretended not to react. Xin, who was lying on the ground, shakily knelt up. Xin knew that Madame Gao didn't care about his life or death. His will to survive made him slightly adjust his posture in the air, avoiding the vital areas.
But with such injuries, Xin was also unable to escape. He knelt on the ground, covering his wound and no longer resisting.
Zedd looked down at Xin and said, "You're going to be a limited edition!"
Xin didn't reply, just raised her head and stared intently at Zedd.
Zedd pressed the charging button on the driver, and a Roman numeral clock appeared at his feet, radiating a brilliant light. Xin ignored the exaggerated, cool visual effects and continued to stare at Zedd.
Zedd looked deeply into Xin's eyes, and then with a flourish of his skirt, spun and delivered a roundhouse kick aimed at Xin's head.
Facing this earth-shattering kick, Xin still didn't dodge. Ultimately, the clock's minute hand stopped in front of Xin's eyes, without returning to zero.
"AhHaHaHaha You're a truly interesting fellow!"
Zedd retracted his foot that had been hovering in front of Xin's eyes, and the clock effects dissipated. He slowly walked to the cane Madame Gao had left behind, bent down, picked it up, and threw it to Xin.
Zedd righted a fallen oil drum, sat on it, and struck a comfortable pose. Then he said to Xin, "I'm very pleased with you. Become my vassal! I will bestow power upon you!"
Xin finally stopped staring at Zedd and looked down at the cane on the ground. Memories of the earth-shattering kick just now, as well as Zedd's overwhelming combat power, flooded her mind.
Xin released her hand from her wound, shakily picking up Madame Gao's cane and using all her strength to stand. Holding the cane with both hands, Xin's body trembled, followed by a burst of laughter:
"Heh~ heh~ ha~ ha ha~ Then there's only one answer! I will swear allegiance to you!"
Clap!
The cane snapped in response!
Woz stood to the side, shouting loudly:
"Celebrate! The Time King who traverses space-time, knows the past and the future, Kamen Rider Oma Zi-O, has gained another follower! You will surely lead us to open a new chapter in history!"
Zedd sat on an oil drum, dangling his legs, and took out the Ziku Driver and the Geiz Watch Dial, throwing them to Xin, "This is the power I bestow upon you!"
Xin took the driver and the watch dial, and without any instruction, fixed them to her waist. After activating the watch dial, she inserted it into the Ziku Driver.
Dynamic watch effects appeared behind Xin. Xin puffed out her chest, took a deep breath, and solemnly said, "Henshin!"
Red armor enveloped Xin's body. The Geiz armor humanely adapted to Xin's female physique. While protecting Xin's entire body, it also accentuated her chest and buttocks.
Xin, transformed, looked at her hands. Then, she knelt before Zedd on one knee. "Thank you for granting me this power! I will be your sword!"
"Excellent, come with us!" Zedd said, and then left the drug factory. Woz and Xin followed closely, disappearing into the night.
Far away, in the Tri-Wing Building, Nick Fury and Pierce silently observed the battlefield in the conference room. The Time King's new armor had brought them a great shock.
And finally, when the Time King produced the new Ziku Driver and new Watch Dial, everyone could no longer contain themselves. After the World Security Council shut off the video, they said:
"Nick Fury! You let such a thing run loose without control? For the sake of world peace and stability, we must obtain this transformation device." The rest of the Council echoed their words.
Nick Fury knew very well these guys were speaking with righteous indignation, but who didn't know what they were really thinking? Moreover, although the Time King's current danger level wasn't high, he wouldn't hold back if they dared to target his lifeline.
Nick Fury didn't want to completely fall out with the Time King right now, especially while he was investigating Hydra. Being attacked from both sides was definitely not a wise choice.
While Nick Fury was arguing with the World Security Council, Xin, who had urgently treated her wounds, led Zedd and Woz to their destination for the night.
