The battlefield was drowning in enemies.
Monsters surged forward like an endless tide.
Despite continuous attacks, Star Rider and Time Rider were slowly being overwhelmed by the rapidly increasing numbers.
Just then—
A familiar engine roar thundered across the sky.
Riding straight into the battlefield, Bell Rider swung his weapon and laughed loudly.
"I so sorry, come lewat already!"
Star Rider's eyes lit up as he pulled the Driver lever.
Bell Rider didn't hesitate—
He slammed the Nezha Card into his Driver and hammered the activation button with wild force.
Time Rider spoke calmly under his breath.
"…See?
It's time for a finisher."
The three Riders leapt simultaneously.
ATTACK FORM!
STARS—STARS—STARS RIDER!
A devastating shockwave exploded outward, sending two monsters flying as starlight scattered across the field.
Star Rider stared at his partners in disbelief.
"Huh?
You guys didn't break your gear?"
Time Rider answered coolly.
"These enemies are powerful, Star Rider.
You taking those two cards alone is already an interference with history."
Star Rider accepted the cards—
Heat surged through his palm.
"…What?"
But before he could ask more, Time Rider vanished into a curtain of blue-white light.
Star Rider and Bell Rider exchanged a glance, then nodded firmly.
"Then—
this is our battlefield now."
Weapons tightened in their grips, the two Riders charged straight into the monster horde.
The Gemini Card on Star Rider's Driver began to glow faintly—
Level One constellation power was awakening.
Bell Rider shouted:
"RIDER MAXNI ATTACK!"
The Five Divine Relics ignited into true flame, spinning violently through the battlefield, crushing and incinerating monsters into ash.
Star Rider locked his gaze onto the core monster.
"So—
now it's my turn!"
The monster sneered.
"Interesting…
Human emotions truly are not governed by constellations alone."
Its sword flashed coldly as it slashed toward Star Rider.
Star Rider gripped his Twin Split Blades, blocking head-on—
Blade after blade clashed violently in a fierce exchange.
The monster roared in rage.
"Impossible!
Four Level-One constellations—and I can't defeat a single Level-One Rider?!"
"Shut up already!"
The Gemini Card erupted in light—
The number surged rapidly from 0 to 10.
Gold and blue radiance enveloped Star Rider.
Gemini symbols shimmered across his armor.
The monster froze in shock.
"What…
I've always despised human emotions—and yet they pushed you into a Level 10 Rider?!"
Star Rider's twin blades transformed into blazing dual sabers.
Rider! Ready!
Let's finish the danger!
Starlight detonated—
The monster was obliterated mid-air by a devastating kick.
As Star Rider gasped for breath—
A mysterious figure appeared beside the unconscious Yi Xin.
In one smooth motion, the figure fastened a Driver around her waist.
Star Rider shouted in panic.
"Что ты делаешь?! (What are you doing?!)"
The mysterious figure calmly drew out a blank card and inserted it into Yi Xin's Driver.
Black light spread instantly.
Yi Xin screamed in pain and jolted awake—
She transformed.
— Dark Rider · Pisces —
The mysterious figure spoke indifferently.
"Pisces…
doesn't have a matching card like yours."
Star Rider roared in fury, slashing forward—
The figure blocked effortlessly, while the Pisces monster's claws tore toward Star Rider.
"…Yi Xin…"
Star Rider whispered.
The girl before him was familiar—
Yet terrifyingly distant.
His transformation suddenly disengaged.
MANG GA LIN collapsed unconscious.
— Bell Rider Arrives —
Bell Rider stared at the scene in shock.
"You are…?"
At his feet, GA LIN lay pale and unmoving.
Bell Rider turned in rage, ready to charge—
But the mysterious figure had already escaped, sword drawn, taking the Pisces monster with him.
Bell Rider clenched his fists helplessly, left only with the injured and unconscious GA LIN.
— Hospital —
GA LIN thrashed on the bed, Yi Xin's silhouette haunting his dreams.
"Yi Xin!"
He jolted awake, shouting her name again.
"Yi Xin!"
But she wasn't there.
Bell Rider and Doctor Chin stepped into the room.
"…Doctor… KUI…"
Doctor Chin smiled gently.
"You're safe now."
Tears glimmered in GA LIN's eyes.
"But…
I don't want to see Yi Xin turn into a monster…"
Doctor Chin sighed.
"…Neither do I."
Then he looked at GA LIN—
His voice calm, yet firm.
"The reason I understand the Constellation Crisis so well…
is because I once fought for world peace too."
— Flashback · 2019 —
Twelve Constellation Guardian Beasts descended upon the world.
Ultimate monsters slaughtered humanity.
Cities fell into ruin.
Then—
Two Riders appeared.
Doctor Chin, and his wife, LIN MIN XIN.
They equipped the Stardust Driver and the Divine Rider Driver, inserting their cards.
"Transform!"
Light erupted—
Doctor Chin became Star Rider.
LIN MIN XIN became Divine Rider.
Together, they defeated all twelve monsters and protected humanity.
But then—
A mysterious figure emerged.
"Well done, humans," the figure sneered.
"But constellations cannot be broken by ordinary beings like you."
He equipped a Stardust Driver, drew a card—
And transformed instantly—
Void Rider · Ultimate Form.
The figure charged forward, blade flashing.
Doctor Chin and LIN MIN XIN switched cards, entering their strongest forms to counterattack.
One strike—
Both were struck down, sliding across the ground as their transformations disengaged.
Doctor Chin whispered weakly:
"…Xin…"
The mysterious figure walked toward them slowly.
