The air trembled with pressure. Two apex soul beasts—one gleaming with mirrored intellect, the other cloaked in spatial annihilation—were closing in from opposing fronts.
On one side, the Crystal-Eyed Wisdom Fox shimmered through psychic distortions, illusions layered like fractals.
On the other, the Voidfang Tiger prowled through rifted terrain, its body flickering as if caught between dimensions.
And between them—stood Li Wei.
He exhaled slowly, five soul rings spinning behind him—purple, purple, black, black, black.
He take out the K-touch device that he materialize. Then click the symbol to activate it. The announcement call then call.
Mechanical voice sound:
[G4, Ryuga, Orga, Glaive, Kabuki, Caucasus, Arc, Skull! Final Kamen Ride: Diend!]
He then put th K-touch device on his belt at the front to activate the transformation. The armor that on his body begin to change as Diend Complete Kamen Rider Card form on his helmet, embedded in the Diend Crown, and on his chest are 8 Kamen Rider Cards of the main antagonistic movie-exclusive Kamen Riders.
This was Diend not just as a summoner, but also a commander of realities. His visor gleamed with crown sigils. The Diendriver gleaming with the light as the color become deep as it infused with high-tier soul power.
He then take out a card and put it into the side slot.
[AttackRide : Gekijouban!]
From behind him as cluster of data then appear after he shoot upwards as the bullet form that cluster of data. That cluster of data then form into eight Kamen rider.
It form into Kamen Rider G4, Kamen Rider Ryuga, Kamen Rider Orga, Kamen Rider Glaive, Kamen Rider Kabuki, Kamen Rider Caucasus, Kamen Rider Arc and Kamen Rider Skull. Standing behind Li Wei at the ready to receive for command.
______________
As Xiao Wu, Zhao Wuji, and Ning Rongrong struggled to stabilize their position against the psychic dissonance of the Wisdom Fox, a tearing sound in the air made them freeze.
"Huh…?" Xiao Wu blinked. "That… soul pressure—!" She recognized that soul pressure. That aura.
Four figures dropped into formation in front of them, all clad in dark, heavy armor that radiated murderous resolve.
Kamen Rider Ryuga — A mirror-black version of Ryuki, two black dragon flames swirling around him, eyes glowing crimson.
Kamen Rider G4 — Military prototype armor, ice-cold and ruthless, a shoulder-mounted missile pod locking onto the Fox.
Kamen Rider Skull — Wearing a white tethered scarf and also wears a white fedora
fluttering in spectral wind, revolver drawn, calmly tipping his fedora.
Kamen Rider Arc — A demonic warlord in obsidian armor, radiating raw malice, steps crackling the ground beneath.
"Li Wei… summoned these?" Ning Rongrong whispered. As she remember seeing this summon before when he was coming back from that ambush before.
Zhao Wuji lips thinned. "He just turned the tide." He know how much of a pain this type of summon. Usually he can desummon Li Wei summon with one punch but this one he need to expand a lot of spirit power to destroy it because Li Wei Fifth spirit ring summon can tank quite a damage even though it deal low damage to him. Imagine when Li Wei reach the same realm as him, having a summon can take quite a damage and high damage, he himself the same as a team of spirit master.
The Crystal-Eyed Wisdom Fox recoiled. It understood. These weren't just spiritual constructs—they were killers. A wrong move meant obliteration.
Ryuga struck first—summoning a phantom dragclaw to tear through the Fox illusions. G4 fired precision missiles that intercepted its charm-based soul projectiles mid-air. Skull blurred forward, Skullmagnum shots cracking illusion fields with eerie accuracy, while Arc unleashed a pressure wave of demonic soul force that made even the Wisdom Fox stagger.

Elsewhere, as Zhu Zhuqing kneel beside Meng Yiran from exhaustion, the Voidfang Tiger pounced—
—only to be struck mid-air by a golden blur.
"What the—?!" Meng Yiran gasped.
Four Riders formed a defensive line.
Kamen Rider Orga — Monolithic in black-gold armor, wielding the Orga Stlanzer like a divine blade.
Kamen Rider Glaive — Imperial and precise, his Rousing Sword Glaive Rouzer blades humming with golden energy.
Kamen Rider Kabuki — Chaotic elegance, swinging a Meito Onsaken while inked tattoos flared across his armor.
Kamen Rider Caucasus — Brutal and perfect, black and gold armor gleaming with unstoppable force while he himself holding a red rose.
Liu Erlong's eyes widened at their sheer aura. "These aren't like the others he summoned before." She has seen Li Wei summon a rider while training but this is the first time that she saw this rider.
Kamen Rider Orga stepped in front of Zhu Zhuqing and blocked the Voidfang claw swipe with a single-handed parry, ground splintering under his heel. Kabuki blurred behind it, slicing glowing talismans into the void trails it left behind. Glaive released a horizontal slash of golden energy that knocked the beast off balance.
And Caucasus activating the clock up as time around it begin to move slowly and he move with fast speed when a person saw it. He punch the Voidfang tiger, then the tiger blink to nearest place but when it finish blinking into existence all it saw was a punch to the face by Caucasus. It happen over and over as the Voidfang tiger blink.
"What in the Spirit Realm…" Zhu Zhuqing whispered. As her felt shock looking at the strength of the Kamen Rider that Li Wei summon. She knows about it, but still shock seeing they use abilties that different when fighting Zhao Wuji before.
"Li Wei…" Liu Erlong muttered, awe creeping into her voice. "You just rewrote the battle."
The battle that was hard for them now become easier. Even though Liu Erlong strong, it will be useless as the attack cannot hit th Voidfang tiger.
_________________
Both soul beasts froze.
The Crystal-Eyed Wisdom Fox glanced across the battlefield. The Voidfang Tiger lifted its head from the ground.
And then—without speaking—they turned.
In perfect harmony, they sprinted toward the center of the battlefield between their fight.
"They're coordinating," Li Wei said quietly, Diend Complete Form flickering. "Just like I feared. They weren't just a rivals, in desperate times they're allies."
"Which means…" he raised the Diendriver once more, "they're not just powerful—they're planning something."
All eight Riders regroup with each other, they running in two group alongside their respective enemies. The battlefield collapsed inward—Shrek's two fronts converging.
"Everyone regroup," Li Wei ordered. "New battle zone, it is at the center of the clearing. I will keep the summoned Riders active as long as my spirit power permits!"
His voice reached all corners of the battlefield as he shout toward all of them by enforcing his throat with spirit power.
_______________
Now the Crystal-Eyed Wisdom Fox and Voidfang Tiger stood side by side—fox eyes shimmering with hypnotic distortion, tiger claws wrapped in rifted destruction. Opposite them stood the combined Shrek force, backed by eight deadly Riders, flanking them in perfect balance.
It was no longer two battles.
It was a warfront.
Zhao Wuji cracked his knuckles. "Now this is a real fight."
Liu Erlong flared with flame. "I say we give them everything."
Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Yiran, and Rongrong stood beside them—bruised, battered, but filled with renewed fire.
And in the middle—
Li Wei wearing Diendriver Complete Form, Diendriver glowing faintly, stood like a conductor of fate. He put the card face up into the side slot.
[BuffRide : Ex-Aid]
He shoot it toward Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. The buff heal then a little and increase healing regeneration.
The two group staring at each others. One group of human and one group of spirit beast.
Then Li Wei insert the card into the side slot again. But this times the card that he insert has others purposes.
[AttackRide: Blast]
He fired.
Energy rounds curved midair, homing in with tracking precision.
The soul beasts roared.
The Riders charged.
The beasts dodged.
Didn't matter.
Li Wei blasts caught them in motion—impacting with force.
And then—
War broke loose.
Soul power. Illusions. Space. Fire. Blades.
Everything collided.
And in that broken clearing, beneath a sky of roaring spirit beasts and armored Riders—
—the movie war truly began.
