Kamen Rider from the ancient times

……

"if……"

"Your future is all planned out, not your life, but the events you might encounter. Even if you want to make some different changes, you may be restricted, but you will never encounter any danger."

"Do you think this is okay?"

……

"What's wrong with that?"

"Eh?"

Tsukasa Kadoya looked at Hikari Natsumi in surprise. He couldn't help but become serious after his previous nonchalant attitude. He sat up straight on the sofa and asked her a question.

"Really? You think so..."

"Of course I was just kidding!"

Hikari Natsumi looked at him irritably and said, "If all the possibilities we encounter in the future are limited, doesn't that mean our trip is completely meaningless? I don't want a future like that!"

After saying this, she didn't take the topic to heart. She simply picked up the box that was in the corner and threw it in front of Tsukasa Kadoya.

"Alright! Now that you're back, hurry up and unpack your things. You always leave them here for me to clean up!"

Guang Xiahai left, muttering angrily.

Tsukasa Kadoya didn't dare to provoke him any further. He just muttered something and pulled the box labeled "Tsukasa's Waste Slots" from the table to his face to take a look.

The basket was filled with photos he had taken this time, including not only Another Riders and Kamen Riders from the ZiO timeline, but also all the Kamen Riders from the Heisei era captured in the final world.

He flipped through each photo with great boredom, even though the images in the photos were as distorted as ever.

But it's enough if you can tell what it is.

It is every Kamen Rider.

Suddenly, Tsukasa Kadoya flipped to a photo that was almost entirely white, with some faint golden light scattered around it, as if it were overexposed.

He frowned, thinking that the photo was probably taken accidentally and captured the sky, but just as he threw it back into the waste bin, he suddenly remembered something and pulled it out.

—Isn't that guy?!
At that time, Tsukasa Kadoya wanted to take a picture of Yusuke Godai, but Kawahara blocked him with a step, so the white thing with a light golden arc was obviously someone's cloak.

This is the second time Tsukasa Kadoya has photographed Kawahara.

Although it was just a curtain of clothing.

After he came to his senses, he calmed down and leaned lazily against the sofa, picking up the photo with his fingertips and examining it closely.

The divine form is an outward manifestation of the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit. The person who possesses such power... In Tsukasa Kadoya's mind, another god who was present at that time appeared again.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly stood up and went to the backdrop of the photo studio. A backdrop with the World Tree as its background fell down from above.

Tsukasa Kadoya walked straight in and disappeared.

Hikari Natsumi, who was in the break room, noticed something and rushed out to check. Sure enough, the guy was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? What is this place?"

Moreover, it seems like her family's photo studio has traveled through time again.

……

……

Helheim Forest.

Tsukasa Kadoya naturally knew that Kouta Kazuha was not on Earth, so after entering the Gaim world, he once again used the Aurora Veil to travel to Helheim, which is located in space.

"So, was that guy involved in the creation of this world back then?"

"I find it unbelievable," said Tsukasa Kadoya.

Kota Kuzuba smiled and said, "Yes, Kawahara seems to dislike these kinds of troublesome things, but it'll be fine if we just ask him a little!" —Just ask him a little?
Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya made a noncommittal sound, opened the camera lens hanging around his neck, and took a picture of this fantasy world full of sunshine and romance.

"No wonder there is so much life on Earth."

Then he made another complaint.

It looks like a second Earth.

Kouta Kazuha chuckled and then said, "Shi, you came to see me this time because of Kawahara, right?"

Tsukasa Kadoya looked at him and nodded.

After what happened in Kawahara's world that day came to an end, with the disappearance of the Wheel of Time, all the Kamen Riders of the Heisei era were directly teleported back to their respective worlds.

A vague feeling in his heart made Tsukasa Kadoya roughly understand what had happened.

Kouta Kazunari looked towards Helheim and said, "Actually, after I realized the existence of the 'Holy Timeline,' I never imagined it would end like this. Mr. Kawahara, perhaps you care about the existence of Kamen Riders more than any of us!"

“That guy has always been like this…” Tsukasa Kadoya said, glancing away.

“So this was almost inevitable, because he incorporated everything he had experienced in the past into an unalterable timeline. From the moment his will was born, every choice he made, every battle he fought, and every experience he had became an inevitable outcome,” said Kouta Kazuha.

"So, his life has already been controlled by his future self, hasn't it?" Tsukasa Kadoya suddenly thought of this question.

"Huh? That makes sense, doesn't it?"

Kouta Kazuha paused and looked up at the sky: "Moreover, he has already made plans for his own future."

What else is there to worry about when you're in control of your own life?
—It was my own choice from beginning to end.

Tsukasa Kadoya's expression was unreadable: "So, you sealed your consciousness directly into an unalterable timeline to protect yourself from your future self?"

"There's no other way to do this, is there?"

Kouta Kazuha sat on a rock, propping his chin up, and sighed, "When he first approached Takatora, it took me a lot of effort to get him to give up the idea. Now that he's given up on controlling the history of Kamen Rider, it's probably because he's worried about making a choice he might regret in the future."

“What an extreme guy, just like the guy who created him,” Tsukasa Kadoya muttered.

"So what are you planning to do now?" Kouta Kazuha asked, looking at him.

"That's why I came to find you."

Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at him as he spoke.

Kouta Kazuha smiled and said, "Since you already knew about the existence of the unalterable sacred timeline, then have you—"

"I've seen it! Twice."

Before he could finish speaking, Tsukasa Kadoya quickly interjected, "After that, I tried other methods to enter that spacetime, but it was no longer possible. Even if I took the time train into the time rift, I couldn't find that entrance again."

Kouta Kazuha explained, "Because it is only when we want to change the past that it may be possible to enter the void where the 'Sacred Timeline' is located, and then get lost in it and become part of nothingness."

"However, after Kawahara opened up all the possibilities of the future, the Void either sent the time traveler back to the original world, or under the influence of the other party's strong will, it opened up a new parallel timeline."

"Of course, it's also possible to fall into a crevice. Mai was imprisoned because she traveled through time too frequently (whispering)..."

"Ah, back to this—"

"The Wheel of Time, which carries the sacred timeline, is essentially unfathomable. What you and Yuuto saw in the void was probably just its projection."

"The only way to see its true form is through the Kamen Riders engraved on the Wheel of Time."

"What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at Kouta Kazuha. Although he was asking a question, after recalling the reason for the second encounter with the "Sacred Timeline," he had already vaguely realized what the answer would be.

Kuzuha Kouta looked at him meaningfully.

"If I accidentally die out there..."
