Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

At Sonozaki Ryubei's urging, Shen Yun agreed to stay for a few more days.

Sonozaki Ryubei immediately led Shen Yun to the room he had arranged for her.

Maya, who was humbly seeking parenting advice from Sonozaki Ayane, looked up at the two who had left after hearing the commotion. After seeing A2 and Mebius following behind Shen Yun to protect him, she turned her attention back to Sonozaki Ayane.

The current Sonozaki Ayane has given birth to two children—three-year-old Sonozaki Saeko and newborn Sonozaki Wakana. (The TV series doesn't specify the ages of the two Sonozaki daughters, so let's assume they're 27 and 24. The age of Sonozaki Kakeru isn't mentioned either, so let's assume she's 20. Suda really looks young.)

Although she doesn't have children yet, she'll definitely have them in the future. She's learning in advance so she won't be caught off guard when the time comes.

As Sonozaki Ryubei led Shen Yun toward the residence he had arranged, he described the bright future of the Gaia Memory to Shen Yun.

"The Gaia Memory contains various memories from Earth."

"Different memories of Earth can turn people into different weirdos, or Dopants."

"The special abilities that Dopant possess are related to the Earth's memories sealed within Gaia's memory body."

"According to my idea, Gaia's memory will be divided into ordinary memory and advanced memory based on the different Earth memories sealed inside it."

"The capabilities of advanced memory are far greater than those of ordinary memory."

"Most importantly, Gaia Memory is universal. As long as there are enough Gaia Memory, everyone can become a Dopant."

"Furthermore, Dopant will be stronger than Shocker's monsters."

Looking at Sonozaki Ryubei's confident tone, Shen Yun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and smile, "Having ambition is a good thing."

However, it cannot be denied that some advanced memory modules are indeed very powerful.

For example, the Fear Memory held by Sonozaki Ryubei, and Utopia held by Kato Jun.

Fearful memories are a form of psychological attack. As long as the victim retains independent consciousness, they are completely unable to resist this kind of psychological attack.

The Utopia Memory is known as the King of Memory, capable of transforming an opponent's abilities into those of its own, and using its staff to freely manipulate the air and the natural forces of existence.

After all, the Gaia Memory contains Earth's memories, so it's understandable that the advanced memory is stronger.

In addition, there are some memory entities with special abilities that are also extremely troublesome.

For example, it can recombine genetic factors and gene memory, allowing yesterday's memory to reappear, or it can manipulate dreams and seal people in dreams with nightmare memory.

The hybrids transformed using these Gaia Memories may not be strong in themselves, but their abilities are quite powerful.

Most importantly, Gaia Memory has compatibility features.

The higher the compatibility with Gaia Memory, the stronger the power it can unleash, and it can even make the memory work in many creative ways.

For example, Joker, who is almost 100% compatible with Shotaro, and Eternal, who is Katsumi Daido.

One can produce Showa-era sound effects during the Heisei era, while the other can completely dominate W from start to finish.

With extremely high compatibility, even standard memory modules can perform like high-end memory modules.

Furthermore, according to the TV series' setting, long-term use of a memory that is highly compatible with oneself will lead to physical changes, and one can still use some of the memory's abilities even without inserting a memory.

For example, Shotaro's mentor, Narumi Shokichi, is also known as Kamen Rider Skull.

Through years of use, he also acquired Skull's abilities; as long as his skull memory remains intact, he is immortal.

"We've arrived. I hope you're satisfied with the accommodations I've arranged for you, Doctor." Sonozaki Ryubei led Shen Yun to the residence he had prepared for him.

This is a detached house with a large area, comparable to a villa.

Shen Yun looked him up and down, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad."

"I'm glad you're satisfied." Sonozaki Ryubei nodded, then asked, "Do you need me to arrange a guide for you?"

"Alright." Shen Yun did not refuse Sonozaki Ryubei's arrangement.

This was his first time in Fuuto, and his understanding of the city was naturally far less than that of local bigwigs like the Sonozaki family.

"I'll arrange it right away." Sonozaki Ryubei nodded and immediately arranged a guide for Shen Yun.

Shen Yun returned to the living room of the Sonozaki family and smiled slightly as he looked at Maya, who was humbly seeking advice from Sonozaki Ayane on parenting.

"Are we going back?" Maya stood up and asked.

"No, I plan to stay here for a few days." Shen Yun came to Zhenye, reached out and stroked her cheek, and said, "Over the years, you've been living with me in Delan Castle and rarely go out. I plan to spend a couple of days with you in Fengdu."

"Is this what humans call a date?" Maya asked, smiling at Shen Yun.

"yes."

"Let's go." Maya said goodbye to Sonozaki Ayane, then took Shen Yun's arm and left Sonozaki's house with Shen Yun.

After leaving the Sonozaki family mansion, the guide arranged by Sonozaki Ryubei drove a stretch Lincoln to a stop in front of Shen Yun and Maya.

A2 took the initiative to open the car door, and Shen Yun, holding Maya's hand, entered the car.

After Shen Yun and Maya got into the car, A2 and Mebius also got in and closed the car door behind them.

Following the advice of the guide arranged by Sonosaki Ryubei, Shen Yun's first stop was the Fuuto Tower, a landmark building in Fuuto.

It has been exactly five years since the Fengdu Tower was built.

"It seems like Fuuto is going to have a fireworks festival in a couple of days. According to the local legend, if you watch the fireworks with your loved one under the Fuuto Tower, you'll be together forever. Let's come and watch the fireworks festival together," Maya said.

Before arriving at Fuuto Tower, the guide arranged by Sonozaki Ryuhei introduced them to many of Fuuto's local delicacies and sights.

When introducing the Fengdu Tower, the director casually mentioned an urban legend that had suddenly become widespread in Fengdu since some unknown year.

"Okay," Shen Yun agreed with a smile.

After visiting the Fengdu Tower, Shen Yun took Zhenye to visit other attractions in Fengdu and sample the local delicacies, such as Fengdu noodles and Fengdu steamed buns.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was evening of the fireworks display.

Maya changed into a yukata, put on exquisite makeup, and came to Shen Yun, twirling around.

"How is it?"

"It's beautiful," Shen Yun said with a smile.

Maya took Shen Yun's arm and they arrived near the Wind Tower together.

They had just arrived near the Tower of the Winds when the Tower of the Winds' fireworks display began.

"call out--"

A colorful beam of light shot up rapidly into the air with a whooshing sound.

"Bang!"

The colorful fluorescent light emitted a loud boom in mid-air, and a colorful 'flower' bloomed in mid-air.

This firework is like a signal.

Next, one dazzling firework after another burst into bloom in the night sky of the windy city.

Colorful fireworks burst across the night sky like a shower of flowers, intertwining and overlapping.

The vibrant colors illuminated the area around the Pagoda of the Wind as if it were daytime, and even the Pagoda itself was bathed in brilliant hues.

However, the main attraction of the Fengdu Fireworks Festival is not the fireworks, but the enchanting Fengdu Tower illuminated by the twinkling lights of the fireworks.

As the first firework soared into the sky, Shen Yun and Zhenye both looked up at the sky at the same time.

"So beautiful," Maya exclaimed, watching the fireworks bursting in the sky.

Although it wasn't the first time she had seen fireworks like this, it was the first time she had enjoyed them with her loved one.

"Yes." Shen Yun nodded as he looked at the Fengdu Tower bathed in the glow of fireworks.

"Fūto, what a wonderful city."

"Let's come again next year." Maya leaned against Shen Yun's chest.

"Okay, whatever you say." Shen Yun smiled and pulled Zhenye even closer.

After watching the fireworks display in Fengdu, Shen Yun took Maya back to Delan Castle.

Because he was worried that he might not have much free time in three years, Shen Yun would occasionally take Maya to travel around.

Time passed slowly, and three years went by in the blink of an eye, bringing us to 1988.

During these three years, apart from occasionally accompanying Maya on outings, Shen Yun devoted most of his time and energy to improving the photon blood.

Based on his research over the years, he also understood why the transformation conditions for Delta, the strongest belt, were so lenient, while those for Faiz, the weakest, were so demanding.

The higher the blood flow rate of photons, the more active their energy becomes.

Therefore, the transmuter only needs a small amount of Orphnoch factor to control the flow of photon blood.

Faiz has the lowest and most stable red photon blood flow rate.

Therefore, only Orphino, or those who possess a large amount of Orphino factors, can control it.

For example, the guardians of the beach.

Although the 555 series belts can only be transformed by Orphnochs or people with Orphnoch factors.

However, in the Faiz movie, Kikuchi Keitaro, who is neither an Orphnoch nor has the Orphnoch Factor and is just an ordinary person, can still transform into Kamen Rider 913 after drinking the transformation potion.

Moreover, after he transformed, he not only didn't turn to ashes, but he also killed the belt, earning him the title of "Belt Killer".

Based on this, Shen Yun is also making improvements to the photon blood from another direction, and the progress is quite encouraging.

"Doctor." A2 found Shen Yun.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yun asked.

"The Gaia Memory prototype has been completed, and Sonozaki Ryubei invites you to attend the ceremony." A2 reports.

"Oh? It's already finished?" Shen Yun raised an eyebrow.

This Sonozaki Ryubei actually managed to complete the experiment before the Cressis Empire descended upon Earth.

"Then let's go." Shen Yun temporarily put aside his research on photon blood and headed to Fengdu with A2.

Upon arriving in Fuuto, the well-prepared Sonozaki Ryubei arranged a private car to take Shen Yun to the Sonozaki family's research building.

The Sonozaki family's mansion is located on an isolated island by the sea in Fuuto.

Looking at the research building standing on the isolated island, Shen Yun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Isn't this the building that appeared in the first episode of Kamen Rider W?

"Haha, Professor, it's been three years since we last met, and you're still as dashing as ever." Sonozaki Ryubei greeted him with a hearty laugh.

"You've aged quite a bit." Shen Yun looked at Sonozaki Ryubei, whose eyes had begun to show some wrinkles, and said with a faint smile, "Enough with the small talk, let me see how effective your Gaia Memory prototype is."

"Everything is ready, we're just waiting for you, Professor." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed and bowed, gesturing for him to arrive: "Please."

As he spoke, he led the way, taking Shen Yun into the Sonozaki family's research building.

Ryubei Sonozaki led Shen Yun to the development center of the Sonozaki family research building. From the isolation chamber in the development center, he took out three memory chips without outer shells, with their electronic components almost completely exposed.

"These are the Gaia Memory I developed. Because they are experimental, I haven't installed a casing on them." Ryubei Sonozaki handed the three memory modules to Shen Yun and said, "These three memory modules are Ammonite, Trilobite, and Sake."

"Let's begin the experiment," Shen Yun nodded and said.

Sonozaki Ryubei waved his hand, and immediately several people dressed in black ran up to him.

Ryubei Sonozaki handed the three Gaia Memory prototypes to the men in black.

After receiving the Gaia Memory, the man in black quickly left.

Then, three humans, their hands bound like prisoners, were pushed into the testing area by the men in black.

"These are all death row inmates in prison," Ryubei Sonozaki explained.

Shen Yun nodded without saying a word.

The man in black who brought the three prisoners in took out the Gaia Memory that Sonozaki Ryubei had given them and pressed the buttons on the memory.

"Ammonite!"

"Trilobite!"

"Sake!"

Three different sound effects rang out, and the surfaces of the three Gaia Memory units lit up with different lights.

Then, the man in black inserted three memory modules directly into the bodies of the three prisoners.

Seeing this, Shen Yun glanced at Sonozaki Ryubei without leaving a trace.

These three individuals do not possess the interfaces that would function as Gaia's memory...

Could it be that Sonozaki Ryubei was unaware that Gaia's memory contained potent toxins?

Moreover, he remembered that the only thing that could be directly inserted into the human body seemed to be the T2 memory...

Should T1 memory only be used with interfaces like Dual Drive, Lost Drive, Gaia Drive, and Gaia Memory?

Or perhaps the Gaia Memory itself can be directly connected to the human body, but the violent toxins contained within the Gaia Memory are too much for ordinary people to withstand. Only by creating a physical interface on the body to filter the toxins of the Gaia Memory to a certain extent can the user safely use the memory.

"ah!!!"

These three prisoners, amidst their painful screams, transformed into three distinct and grotesque beings.

However, once these three strange beings transformed, they went berserk and began to wantonly destroy everything around them.

The weirdo has completely lost control!

Seeing this, Rubei Sonozaki broke out in a cold sweat.
