Kamen Rider from the ancient times

This world is his world.

Kawahara was momentarily stunned upon realizing this, his gaze unfocused as he stared at Feng Talos.

He did sense something before discovering the existence of this otherworldly being, which is why he noticed Hisanaga's unusual behavior at that time.

But he only thought that what he was sensing was the power of the Otherworldly God.

I never imagined they had any connection.

The previously devastated Feng Talos had stopped wailing at some point. He cautiously glanced up at Kawahara, but upon seeing him staring at him, he immediately looked away, trying to cover his tracks.

"Things have already turned out like this..."

Feng Talos muttered, "Shingo has been captured by the Time Jackers again. Since you Kamen Riders haven't disappeared yet, shouldn't you hurry up and think of a way to deal with this?"

Kawahara said, "Shingo being taken away is an established fact in this 'timeline without Kamen Riders,' but he has now returned to the 'future' timeline, and the Time Jackers have not truly obtained him."

It was because Shingo Hisanaga was taken away in this timeline that he was able to meet them later.

Kawahara looked at the otherworldly being with a complicated expression. After speaking, he stopped blocking the hospital entrance and turned back to the street that had been ravaged by the battle.

"……what?"

Feng Talos was somewhat bewildered.

As Godai Yusuke watched Kawahara pass by, he suddenly asked, "Back then, did Kawahara and Shingo go somewhere else?"

The four of them traveled through the time vortex together, but only he and Hisanaga Toru reached their destination. Godai Yusuke was stunned for a while.

Kawahara turned to look at him, then nodded, before glancing meaningfully at Kouta Kuzuha standing to the side.

"Because the timeline we are in right now is a timeline that has already happened, we cannot arbitrarily change history. Shingo and I have been relegated to a place that is like a time-space rift," Kawahara said.

“But I and Dang…” Godai Yusuke paused.

"Hisanagi is destined to return to this timeline, so he will not be affected. As for Godai..."

Kawahara paused, not finishing his sentence.

Futaros suddenly interjected: "If they were summoned by a wish, in order to correct the logic of this world, the Kamen Rider will automatically integrate into the world!"

Therefore, Tokiwa Sougo, Meikoin Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and others who were summoned by him at that time all had identities in the real world, and the surrounding environment automatically distorted its perception to accommodate their existence.

Even if they are not from this world at all.

Godai Yusuke seemed to realize something.

Because he has integrated into this world, he is also a passerby on this timeline, and his return to this time and space has become an inevitable fact.

"But Mr. Kawahara, you still came here now. Is it because you're worried about me?" Yusuke Godai suddenly asked again.

"I know it's impossible to just leave you like this," Kawahara said with a hint of helplessness.

"What would the consequences be?"

Godai Yusuke chuckled as he listened, then asked, "Since history cannot be altered, then your actions violate the rules, right?"

Kawahara: "..."

Kawahara stood silently on the battlefield ruins. He looked at his left hand, then silently looked at Kuzuha Kouta.

What would be the consequences of going back to the past?
Of course, it's because he can't open the time portal back!
When Feng Talos told them to come up with a solution, Kawahara had already planned to return to the timeline of 2018 to resolve the remaining issues. However, after secretly trying it out, he discovered that he couldn't open the timeline at all!

Returning to the anchored timeline without authorization seems to mean losing the power to travel through time and being left behind in the past.

Given the assimilative power of this world, those who return to the past may eventually be assimilated into a symbol of this world, just like Tsukuyomi who lost her memories.

However, Kuzuha Kouta still looks like the Origin Man.

So this guy should be able to use his power.

"Hmm? Do you need my help?"

Kouta Kuzunoha, who had been receiving frequent stares from Kawahara, finally realized what was happening. He grinned and raised his hand to create a rift in the air.

The power of the Origin Man can still be used after all.

The golden zipper of the crack opened under Kuzuha Kouta's control, but the next moment, the crack suddenly shattered as if it had been stuck for half a moment!
Swah——

The miraculous state on Kuzuha Kouta's body suddenly turned into light particles and dissipated, turning him into an ordinary young man wearing an orange vest. This was what Kuzuha Kouta looked like as a human.

That's good, he's not the Man of Origin anymore.

Kouta Kuzuba looked at Kawahara: "..."

Kawahara looked at him: "..."

Godai Yusuke looked back and forth between the two of them.

"Uh huh..."

Realizing something, Futaros looked at the three Kamen Riders in front of him and felt a strange sense of empathy: "So you failed too, right?"

A sudden silence fell over the room.

Kota Kazuha scratched his head and said, "Um... Kawahara-senpai, do you remember the unalterable 'Sacred Timeline' I told you about? It seems to be related to this world, so I can't interfere with it."

Kawahara looked at him meaningfully: "Oh, so that confident look you had just given me was just to show off?"

Kuzuha Hirota laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha..."

Interfering with the timeline would immediately expose the problem and force it back to its original state. This was the first time Kuzuha Kouta had attempted this, although he had only intended to open a spacetime portal.

As a result, Kawahara and Kuzuha Kouta have both been sealed off by the Holy Timeline, and the power of the Otherworldly Gods can only travel here and cannot return. They are all stuck here.

I wonder how things are now in 2018. Although Shingo Hisanaga was sent back to a safe "past" timeline by Kawahara, the Time Jacker Teed is still active in 2018.

That era will be the future that both timelines are heading towards—because the point of divergence where time intersects has already been formed.

Kawahara rubbed his forehead, pondering a solution.

Suddenly, Kouta Kuzuha said, "Kawahara, you must have seen that timeline when you came to this space-time, right? There is actually another way to return to that space."

Upon hearing this, Kawahara recalled that empty, dark space, and the enormous gear he had glimpsed when he decided to come here.

That thing passed right through him, and then his miraculous power vanished.

Could that thing be the Sacred Timeline?

It's not linear at all...

"What method?" Kawahara asked him.

"if only--"

Just as Kuzuha Kouta was about to speak, a long, drawn-out whistle sounded from the sky above them, followed by the rumbling of a train approaching.

—Kamen Rider Den-O's Electric Train!
The electric train with its bright red locomotive stopped in front of the three of them. The carriage doors opened, and a train attendant in a white uniform looked at them with a sweet smile.

"Does anyone need a ride?"

"electricity……"

Feng Talos looked at the Time Train in front of him with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness: "Den-O..."

As an Otherworldly being, he knew that four other Otherworldly beings who could be called his "predecessors" lived on this train, and even the name Fengtaros himself chose was based on those predecessors.

He never expected that he would actually be able to ride on an electric train!
This is practically a fan meeting!
"I want to sit! I want to sit!"

Feng Talos immediately raised his right hand excitedly and rushed forward in one stride.

The flight attendant at the door watched him dart inside, then looked at the three Kamen Riders still standing outside and smiled, "There are still seats inside~"

"So cool!"

Yusuke Godai, realizing what was happening, exclaimed in surprise.

Kouta Kazuha was equally astonished: "So this is the Time Train piloted by Kamen Rider Den-O? That's amazing!"

The Time Train itself is comparable to a "singularity," able to travel freely between different timelines. And now it seems that even the so-called sacred timeline cannot restrict the train's movement.

Kawahara's expression changed slightly as he thought about this.

He glanced at the train attendant, whose eyes were sparkling and who looked on expectantly for him to board, then looked at the two eager guys next to him. With a bit of helplessness, he still boarded the train first.

The interior of the carriages was similar to the Zero Train that Kawahara had ridden before, except that the electric train had more complete facilities and more carriages.

The first train to rush aboard, Feng Talos, had already disappeared to some unknown carriage; only the sounds of movement coming from the dining area could be faintly heard.

Kawahara glanced around and then noticed a young man sitting in the middle booth of the carriage. He looked slightly nervous and was now looking at him gently and obediently.

Upon seeing him looking over, the young man quickly stood up and said, "Hello, I'm Ryotaro Nogami!"

—Kamen Rider Den-O.

Although Nogami Ryotaro's battles are usually fought by the Imagin possessing him, there is no doubt that the Imagin is the most important fusion core of Kamen Rider Den-O.

Kawahara walked straight over and sat down opposite him.

"I am Kawahara."

Kawahara stared at him sharply: "You seem to already know me, but we haven't met before, have we?"

Under such sharp criticism, Nogami Ryotaro lowered his head, pursed his lips, and carefully explained, "Yuto-san told me."

Kawahara: "..." Oh, I forgot about that guy.

This must be a negative buff that comes with Zero Nors!

However, this also seems to mean that Yuto Sakurai, who appeared in the Kamen Rider Drive world and experienced the "history change event", can actually be considered as Kamen Rider Zeronos in this timeline.

All the Kamen Riders he knows are connected.

Kawahara even thought in a desperate way—he was already looking forward to going back to 2018 and meeting all the remaining dozen or so Kamen Riders!
……

While they were speaking.

The train attendant has already closed the carriage door.

After Godai Yusuke and Kuzuha Kouta boarded the electric train together, the train once again flew into the sky and entered the time-space tunnel.

As soon as they boarded the train, the two of them eagerly approached the window. After the train briefly passed through a dark area, the scenery outside the train turned into a boundless, pale desert.

This is the Desert of Time that the Train of Time traverses.

Whether for the adventurers who have lost contact all over the world or for the current gods, this is a very rare experience!
"correct…"

Suddenly, Godai Yusuke asked the person next to him, "Kouta, what was the other method you mentioned earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Kuzuha Kouta laughed and said, "Oh~ that? Actually, it's quite simple. As long as we die outside, we can return to our own time through the Holy Timeline."

Yusuke Godai: "...?"
