On the other side, Zhantu and the others arrived to find the Slammer. At this moment, Steve appeared and demanded, "Hand over the energy bottles!" He needed the remaining energy bottles to complete his plan. Zhantu snorted coldly and replied, "You wish!"
"Dragon!"
"Lock!"
"Best match!"
"Are you ready?"
"Sealed Fantasy Superstar! Key Dragon Form!"
Zhantu immediately attacked, knocking Steve to the ground. However, as Zhantu approached, Steve suddenly counterattacked, striking Zhantu and forcing him to revert to his human form. Shocked, Zhantu exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Wanzhang's expression turned grim. "Zhantu! Are you okay?" he called out.
Steve responded coolly, "Hand over the energy bottles, and I will spare your life."
In the three realms, the audience watched anxiously. Steve's successful sneak attack had once again showcased his cunning and unpredictability. Zhantu was struggling against Steve's relentless tricks, making him a formidable foe.
At that moment, Xueqian appeared and said, "You've been keeping the energy bottles a secret from me? How bold of you."
Wanzhang immediately reacted, shouting, "Xueqian! You betrayed me! I'll defeat you and expose your true intentions!"
Xueqian replied calmly, "Don't misunderstand. I'm on your side."
"I don't believe you!" Wanzhang retorted, ready to transform into Kamen Rider. However, his transformation failed.
Xueqian turned to Zhantu and instructed, "Take him away!"
Zhantu promptly complied, leading Wanzhang to safety. The three realms' audience, witnessing this unexpected turn of events, were left in shock.
"I didn't expect Xueqian to help Zhantu and Wanzhang!"
"Yeah, what's his motive? It's so hard to figure him out."
In the scene, Steve demanded, "What are you doing?" but Xueqian ignored him and left without further confrontation.
Meanwhile, Sayu searched for a hidden bug in the base. Misora appeared behind her and asked, "Are you looking for this?"
"It's you," Sayu responded. Misora pressed her, saying, "Why did you plant a bug here?" She had discovered the device a few days prior, suspecting someone was spying on them. Now, her suspicion was confirmed.
Feigning innocence, Sayu replied, "No reason! I just wanted to stay informed in case any major events happened while I wasn't around."
Misora wasn't convinced. "Don't play dumb. Who are you working for?"
Before Sayu could respond, Wanzhang interrupted, asking, "Where's the dragon? The refrigerator door is still open. What if it escapes?"
Taking advantage of the distraction, Sayu quickly fled. The audience of the three realms discussed the scene intensely.
"Sayu's definitely a spy!"
"If she weren't, she wouldn't have run."
"She's helping President Nanba, isn't she?"
"It's so disappointing. She's beautiful but working for Nanba!"
The scene shifted to President Nanba speaking with Gento. "I didn't expect you to not only retrieve Pandora's Box but also become the Prime Minister," Nanba remarked.
Gento nodded, "Yes, things are progressing smoothly now."
Nanba inquired, "How many energy bottles are still needed for the box?"
"Three," Gento replied. "I'll gather the rest soon."
"Excellent," Nanba said, watching Gento leave. "This country will finally take a step forward."
Later, Sayu called Nanba. "I've been discovered by Ishido Misora. I'm afraid I can't stay undercover any longer."
Nanba responded indifferently, "Is that so? Then it can't be helped."
On another front, Steve contacted Zhantu. "I've become a Slammer. I'm waiting for you."
The three realms' audience was shocked. "Is Liu Ping exposed?"
"Are they going to turn her into a Smasher now? That's brutal!"
"Steve's ruthless!"
The scene shifted again. Misora warned Zhantu, "It's a trap! He's using Sae to lure you and steal the remaining energy bottles."
Zhantu, determined, said, "Even so, I must go."
When Zhantu arrived at the designated location, he prepared to fight.
"Dragon!"
"Lock!"
"Best match!"
"Are you ready?"
"Key Dragon Form!"
The battle was intense. Zhantu managed to defeat the Smasher multiple times, but his body suddenly emitted lightning. Struggling to control his power, Zhantu reverted to his human form. Steve approached with a sneer, "You can't fight anymore. Hand over the energy bottles."
At that critical moment, Wanzhang stepped forward. "Give me the energy bottles!" he urged Zhantu, who complied without hesitation.
Wanzhang shouted, "Transform! Awaken! The Dragon of the End!"
"Are you ready? Transform! Wake up and burn! Get the power of the Dragon of the End!"
The transformation was complete, and the three realms' audience erupted in excitement.
"Finally! Wanzhang can transform!"
"It's been so long!"
"This reminds me of Kagami in Steve's previous lives, the second rider who took ages to transform."
"But now, Wanzhang's time has come!"
"He's finally a Kamen Rider Zero!"
