Kamen Rider from the ancient times

Kawahara wasn't quite sure what the otherworldly god's purpose was in using Hisanaga, or even whether the other party was good or bad.

He glanced at Shingo Hisanaga and Toru Hisanaga, knowing that the incident was probably related to these two brothers, as both the Time Jackers and the Otherworldly Gods were after them.

Kawahara raised his left hand and placed it on Hisanaga's forehead. The golden rune on the back of his hand flickered slightly, and a string of numbers appeared above the other's head.

——October 29, 2000.

This is the time when that otherworldly god arrived.

"what?"

Godai Yusuke looked on in astonishment.

As the successor of "Kamen Rider Kuuga" in the modern world, Yusuke Godai is particularly aware of this date.

But this was not only the day before Kuuga was born, but also the day Hisanaga Toru was born, and even more so the day Hisanaga Shingo "disappeared".

Tokiwa Sougo leaned closer and said, "Is this the time that Imagin arrived? Should we go after it?"

Kawahara looked at him: "Sougo, can you use the power of Oma Zi-O now?"

"What power of Oma Zi-O?" Tokiwa Sougo asked, looking puzzled.

"........."

Kawahara had no idea what to say.

I just feel that this demon king is really unreliable.

However, Tokiwa Sougo continued, "We can use the Time-Space Demon Machine to go there, right? Although Tsukuyomi has lost her memories, Geiz can still help us!"

Kawahara thought for a moment and said, "Then you should go find them first, as well as the other Kamen Riders in this world, and try to gather them all together."

Although this little devil has caused himself to lose his memory again, ZiO's power will always allow him to find the Kamen Rider. Kawahara has a premonition that the Kamen Riders appearing in this world will definitely not be limited to Build and his group.

—Even though the Otherworldly God has already fulfilled his wish.

He was in a hurry to confirm whether Shingo Hisanaga's identity was a singularity, and he didn't want to be photographed by the public, so he temporarily stopped contacting Sento Kiryu and the others.

It's best to gather everyone together now to avoid being picked off one by one by the mastermind behind the scenes.

The Super Time Jacker who has already been exposed can even pause the ultimate power, so who knows what even more powerful methods he might have.

As for ZiO's time-stop feature, don't get your hopes up.

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Sougo nodded: "I understand, I'll go find Gates right now!"

He left quickly after he finished speaking, but after running out of the street, Tokiwa Sougo suddenly realized something and scratched his head in confusion.

"Huh? How are they going to get there?"

……

Kawahara watched the little devil leave, then pointed his finger at the date string, and a vortex appeared in front of everyone.

“Let’s go take a look together. — Shingo, I’ll also take you back to see it while we’re at it.”

Shingo Hisanaga was born in 2000, so it would be good to take him back to the day he disappeared to see what happened.

However, it's impossible to simply leave him there, since the enemy hasn't been dealt with yet. If he were captured as soon as he was sent back, there would be no way to explain it.

Yusuke Godai bent down and extended his hand to Ataru Hisanaga: "Come with us too, Ataru?"

Hisanaga glanced at the two strangers who had followed him to his house, then looked at the gentle-smiling Godai Yusuke in front of him. Clearly, the latter was more convincing.

After he reached out and was pulled up by Yusuke Godai, he looked at his right hand, which was being held by the other, and secretly tightened his grip on his fingers.

Although his initial liking for Kamen Rider wasn't his original intention, after eighteen years of pursuing it relentlessly, he did gradually become a true Kamen Rider fan.

Kawahara looked at Godai Yusuke, who smiled reassuringly and nodded at him. Then the two of them stepped into the vortex of time and space together.

wow——

The dazzling light instantly filled their vision.

The other side of the time vortex is not the year 2000.

……

Before Kawahara was a pitch-black space.

He paused for a moment, then realized something and looked sharply to the side, but Godai Yusuke and Hisanaga Toru were nowhere to be seen.

Then came Shingo Hisanaga's voice from the side.

"Where did it go?"

The child he was holding was still beside him, but Kawahara didn't think that the two of them hadn't separated because he was holding the child's hand.

At this moment, two golden lines extended from Shingo Hisanaga's feet, like a "V"-shaped fork in the road, or like branches of a river flowing in different directions, their glowing ends disappearing into the depths of the dark space.

Kawahara looked behind Shingo Hisanaga, where the two lines converged into a single point under his feet, while darkness surrounded them.

Shingo Hisanaga didn't know what was happening, but he felt tense about the boundless darkness and unconsciously gripped Kawahara's hands tightly with both of his.

After gazing at the two lines behind him in different directions for a long time, Kawahara took a step in one of the directions, and instantly, a golden vortex appeared at the end of that line.

But images of the world emerged from the vortex.

Shingo Hisanaga turned his head and saw a familiar building, and then Yusuke Godai and Ataru Hisanaga suddenly appeared in front of the building.

"Ah! That's where Mom was hospitalized!" Shingo Hisanaga exclaimed excitedly.

This is the entrance to the hospital. He was kidnapped by the strange man here today (January 29, 2000).

Shingo Hisanaga quickly released Kawahara's hand and tried to run over, but after taking only two steps, he was jolted back by an invisible wave.

Kawahara reached out and caught the staggering child, gazing at the unreachable vortex, the two golden lines in his left pupil swirling slightly.

"I see……"

Kawahara said in a low voice, as if sensing something, "That's a past timeline, a timeline you've already experienced, so Shingo, you can't go back."

"Eh?"

Shingo Hisanaga didn't understand. He only knew that he belonged to that place, and he wanted to go back to see his mother. He also wanted to live and grow up with his soon-to-be-born younger brother.

"why?"

Hisanaga Shingo said anxiously, "Brother, didn't you say before that I don't belong to this era? If that's the case, why can't I go back to my own era?"

Kawahara looked down at him with a calm expression.

Although the platinum blonde hair and cloak accentuated the man's holy and radiant figure, his eyes, one black and one dark red, appeared unusually eerie at this moment, his deep, abyss-like gaze calm and undisturbed.

This pitch-black space is like a time-space prison.

The past can never be touched again.

Shingo Hisanaga suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he instinctively took a step back in fear.

Kawahara blinked, a gentle smile playing on his lips, then crouched down to look Shingo Hisanaga in the eye and said, “Don’t worry, because you are going to the future.”

"What do you mean?" Shingo Hisanaga asked cautiously.

"You are the outlier of this world."

Kawahara raised his hand and stroked his head softly, saying, "So you can have countless different futures, even the 'past' can become your 'future.'"

Upon hearing this, Shingo Hisanaga remained silent, his expression still somewhat bewildered. Kawahara then turned his body toward the golden lines in another direction.

“Try taking a step.” Shingo Hisanaga turned to look at him, then at the swirling image on the other side that was gradually dissipating, and had no choice but to walk forward along this line.

This time, even after taking three or four steps, he was not bounced back.

Then another vortex appeared ahead of this line, with the same hospital building inside, but nothing unrelated appeared again.

Shingo Hisanaga stared blankly at the vortex.

Kawahara stood up and looked at his back, saying, "This is your future, Shingo, the future that continues from 2:33 PM on January 29, 2000."

For the "Singularities" who are time wanderers, their future will never be a "new beginning," but rather a "continuing future."

Their past is their future.

This vortex seemed to have a special attraction for Shingo Hisanaga, but after he unconsciously walked up to it, he suddenly turned his head to look at the platinum-colored figure standing there.

"Big brother, will I ever see you again? Will I... ever see Kamen Rider again?"

"Your future will definitely include Kamen Rider."

Kawahara gave him an exceptionally gentle smile.

Shingo Hisanaga smiled, and then, as if remembering something, he actually raised his hand and gave Kawahara a thumbs up.

Kawahara was taken aback when he saw this, then chuckled and gave him a thumbs up.

finally--

Shingo Hisanaga disappeared into the vortex.

……

Although he had originally planned to keep Shingo Hisanaga by his side until this incident was resolved before sending him back, Kawahara never expected that the time portal he opened would turn out like this.

After watching Shingo Hisanaga return to the 2000 timeline, Kawahara's smile faded.

He looked in the other direction where the figures of Godai Yusuke and Hisanaga Toru had just appeared, his gaze becoming dark and unfathomable.

That was the "past" time and space. The events of the past have been anchored in time and space, so Shingo Hisanaga, who left that time and space, could only continue to move towards the future.

So……

Were the Five Dynasties also destined to go there?

Kawahara took a step in that direction, and the golden river beneath his feet seemed to ripple with water. He was not bounced back by that invisible force.

But does this mean that he is also destined to go to that time and space?
Not necessarily...

If that were the case, perhaps he wouldn't have come to this place after crossing the time vortex.

Kawahara stopped walking.

He turned to look at the darkness ahead.

Ever since he first encountered the worlds of ZiO and Decade, Kawahara has been unable to let go of a problem—he doesn't want the power of ZiO and Decade to disrupt the timeline of his world.

So he took back his Rider Ridewatch and didn't want Tsukasa Kadoya to enter his world, or even use the Earth Library Experiment Mirror world.

All of this is to lock down the world.

Only in this way, from now on, whether in the past or the future, no more shady characters will be able to mess with his world at will.

This is what Kawahara has always wanted to do.

And now it seems we're close to seeing the results.

……

With his back to the two different timelines, Kawahara took a step into the darkness ahead. At that moment, the intersection of the "V" shaped lines under his feet extended with his movement, turning into a "Y" shape like a three-way intersection.

The intersection point remains unchanged, but the "future" representing this world emerges from under Kawahara's feet.

He paused slightly, then continued walking forward, getting further and further away from the two timelines behind him.

Even if the Five Dynasties period were to travel back in time, it would still be predetermined...

but……

Is this really a good choice?

Kawahara looked at the dark space with no direction, and his mind became extremely calm at this moment. Then he recalled his conversation with Kuzuha Kouta.

"I don't know much about this myself, but I know it must be a world that Kawahara experienced!"

If Kuzunoha Kouta becomes the Origin Man, then all of Kuzunoha Kouta's timelines will be able to converge into a single line, thus connecting to the future of each Sawame City.

So when exactly did the other party first become the Origin Man?
Although this seems like a chicken-and-egg problem.

But Kouta Kazuha was quite certain of this answer.

—It's because of him.

—Because of his choice.

Kawahara paused abruptly upon realizing this.

Then he turned around without hesitation!
This space seemed to sense his thoughts at that moment. As soon as Kawahara stepped into the anchored "past", a huge gear with engraved needles appeared in front of him. In that fleeting moment, the halo roared and swept past him!

Swah——

Kawahara suddenly descended from the sky, his gaze falling upon Another Armored Warrior and the Another Ootengu cleaver swung towards Godai Yusuke!

"boom!"

Kawahara landed directly on Another Gaim and stomped its head into the ground!
Caught off guard, the alien armored warrior stumbled and fell to the ground, his weapon flying out of his hand, his head smashing into the concrete floor and creating a crater.

Yusuke Godai, who was blocking with both hands, tilted his head to look.

“Oh~”

The head beneath his feet struggled, so Kawahara stomped down harder, glancing at himself as he did so.

His miraculous state vanished again.

However, Godai Yusuke in front of him did not transform to fight.

Before Kawahara could even ask, Godai Yusuke had already spoken up, saying, "How strange! I can't summon the Amadam Spirit Stone anymore. It's like something's blocking it!"

Kawahara Ryosuke said, "The previous Time Jacker, Teed, had Another Kuuga's watch in his hand. He must have replaced Kamen Rider Kuuga in this world, which is why the history of Kamen Rider has ceased to exist since 'Kuuga'."

Since Kuuga's power no longer exists, Yusuke Godai, who accidentally merged into this world, naturally can no longer transform.

However, Yusuke Godai was in a very good mood about the result; he had even been planning to fight Another Rider with his bare hands just now.

Then he pointed at Kawahara and shouted, "Kawahara, you've recovered your appearance too!"

Kawahara remained silent.

He reverted to human form, possibly because he broke the rules of that space and arrived in this "past" timeline where the outcome was already predetermined.

He didn't know what the consequences of doing this would be.

Anyway, I did it.

Kawahara kicked away the increasingly struggling Another Armor, temporarily ignoring the disappearance of Hisanaga and the reason why Another Armor had appeared in front of them, and simply reached out his hand to Godai Yusuke.

"Godai, let's fight together and take care of this guy first."
