"Hello, Demon King."
A heavy figure approached Kino.
It was this world's Cyborg.
His mechanical body was even larger than before, exuding an astonishing sense of threat.
"Do you need something?" Kino asked with a puzzled expression.
"That potion… do you still have it? I'd like to buy a dose," Cyborg said, voicing his request.
"I can give it to you—if you trade that body of yours. Do we have a deal?" Kino nodded calmly.
This world's Cyborg had a body made of promethium metal, capable of self-modification and equipped with a quantum brain computer.
All of it was a treasure trove.
"I agree!" Cyborg nodded excitedly.
He had truly had enough of this monstrous form—no physical sensation, no hunger or thirst, and his mind was flooded with endless data and code.
All of it made him feel deeply tormented and repulsed.
"I like dealing with straightforward people. I'll give you a painless service," Kino said.
Raising his hand, Kino pulled out Cyborg's soul.
Then, using Magneto's powers, he began dismantling Cyborg's body, separating the human components.
He injected the potion, allowing them to regenerate naturally.
Victor's soul floated in the air, joyfully watching his body slowly return to its original human form.
"When it's fully grown, you can return to it yourself," Kino said.
"Thank you!" Victor responded.
Kino then started crafting a new consciousness for Cyborg's old body.
There were still uses for it.
A red light lit up in the center of the metallic forehead. The metal covering the body liquefied and began consuming the surroundings, filling in the missing parts.
It looked like a metallic slime.
Kino threw in adamantium, vibranium, and promethium into the mass.
The metal slime paused, spat out all the previously absorbed metals, and then began reconstructing a new body with these superior alloys as its main structure.
Venom, curious, came over and watched from the side. "Kino, let's give it a new design—like this, and this…"
Kino's eyes lit up.
He began helping reshape the metal slime's form.
First, the design was finalized.
Next, the weapon systems were redesigned—fully modular, with a separate weapons vault.
The acceleration system was a bit tricky, so for now, they used the Speed Force as a substitute.
Since Kino was no expert, he planned to ask Banner and the others to improve it later—they'd surely figure something out.
The others, curious about the commotion, had also gathered. They'd overheard the earlier deal.
Though it was a loss to lose a powerful teammate, no one stopped him.
But what was the Demon King really doing?
As the metal slime took shape, the men grew increasingly interested—even offering their own suggestions.
Kino gladly accepted the feedback.
"I think this part should be longer…"
"The energy circuit for the weapon is inefficient—this would work better…"
"Also, I think if we…"
Venom, Zatanna, and Wonder Woman saw the group of men huddled together.
"What are they doing? Is a metal puppet really that interesting?" Zatanna asked, puzzled—even Doctor Fate had enthusiastically joined the crowd.
"I actually think it's fascinating. They're creating a warrior—and I can feel its strength," said Wonder Woman.
"This is what you call man's romance, little girl—you're still too young," Venom said, gently stroking Zatanna's cheek with a finger.
"What are you doing? Don't touch me like that!" Zatanna blushed. This woman was no innocent either.
Kino looked at the armored figure before him and the motorcycle behind it, nodding with satisfaction.
The entire suit was silver-white, with a black metallic framework beneath. Red energy circuits adorned the surface. It was loaded with a quantum computer and combined metallic toughness with fluid motion.
Only one step remained—Kino installed the energy core, closed the chest armor, and a Φ (Phi) symbol appeared on the chest.
Yellow eyes lit up, locking onto Kino.
[System Online—]
"All for the glory of our great Demon King!"
That's right—Kino had remodeled Cyborg's body based on the SIC version of Kamen Rider FAIZ.
"From now on, your name is FAIZ—Kamen Rider FAIZ!"
Kino looked excitedly at his creation, wondering how it would perform in real combat.
"Designation confirmed—Kamen Rider FAIZ!"
FAIZ began scanning its body and various systems.
At that moment, Billy stirred awake, looking around at everyone.
"What happened? I feel like I had a terrible nightmare…"
Flash told him about how he'd nearly died.
"Oh, damn. I was careless this time. Next time, I'll definitely take him down," Billy said confidently.
Typical case of forgetting pain after the fall.
"No, we're not dead yet. There's no need for a child to be on the battlefield," said Green Lantern.
He had already found Shazam immature, but didn't expect him to actually be a child.
"Hey! You can't say that. I was a big help! I was one of our main fighters—like Victor Stone!" Billy jumped up, only to realize he was naked. He quickly grabbed a blanket to cover himself.
"Where are my clothes?! Especially that jersey—it was limited edition!"
"I'll get you as many jerseys as you want. But please, don't act recklessly again," said Victor, now wearing clothes and standing before Billy with a serious expression.
"Victor, you're back to normal! Why? I could've helped too," Billy said, clearly unwilling to be left out.
"There's no 'why.' Think of your family and friends. What would happen to them if you died?" Victor said, trying to persuade him.
He never thought he'd end up using the same words he once despised.
"I'm an orphan…" Billy said quietly.
He was strong. He wanted to be a hero. Why was everyone stopping him?
"I can adopt you. But you'll have to go to school as I require. If you want to help, wait until you're older," said Hawkman.
He admired the kid.
"Child, we mean no harm. We just don't want to see you hurt. Letting a child onto the battlefield is our failure," said Doctor Fate gently.
His voice had a calming, magical effect.
"But…"
Billy was wavering, surrounded by his heroes and idols trying to stop him.
"Kid, want to hear what I have to say?" Kino asked with a smile.
"Okay…" Billy nodded blankly.
"Then treat everything they said as bullshit," Kino said, pointing to the superheroes behind him.
"Yes, they are heroes. But each has their own experiences and personalities. Their intention is to keep you from danger.
But you're not an ordinary child—you hold the wisdom of Solomon. The future you choose might be hard, but it's your future—not theirs."
The others fell silent after Kino's words.
"I don't really understand everything you said… but I still want to follow my own path," Billy replied.
"Demon King, you're pushing a child onto the battlefield," Hawkman said, displeased.
"Without power, this entire world is a battlefield. Besides—prepare for battle. The war is coming."
Kino walked toward Venom, and at the moment they made contact, Venom transformed into armor and enveloped him.
