Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

Throughout the time he spent with Yuuki, Yuuki always maintained a cold and indifferent demeanor.

"So, even glaciers can melt away with the affection between people?"

Sonozaki Kirihiko was somewhat confused.

"Then what about me? What should I do to fill the emptiness in my heart?"

He loved everything about Wind City, but now Wind City is completely destroyed, and it's impossible to see the Wind City of the past again.

No, it's still possible.

He paused, then something came to mind.

Earth Library.

It holds all the secrets, and it will surely provide the answer to how to restore Fudo.

But in doing so, he would be going against the will of the Sonozaki family, and also against the will of the person he loved.

But the Sonozaki family killed so many people... He should have left this place long ago.

This is the right choice.

It's just Sonosaki Saeko...

He sighed inwardly, unsure of what to do.

Should one choose righteousness or personal love?

Why isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?

He was deeply distressed, but his expression remained calm.

Yuuki noticed the change in Sonozaki Kirihiko's mindset, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he patted the dust off the two of them.

"It's time to go home. Everyone is waiting for you."

A rift appeared beside her, and the green Helheim was on the other side. Yuuki smiled slightly.

"Why did you have to come now of all times? You scared me to death!"

Sato Jiro complained as he and Hikawa Shin walked hand in hand into Helheim.

"There's no way around it, this place is too big, even for me it would take a lot of time. Luckily I'm fast, otherwise you two would really be dead."

Yuuki said, and followed the two of them toward Helheim, while Sonozaki Kirihiko scratched his head.

Is that really the case? He seemed to recall that before fighting the monster, the two of them were watching a show from the sky.

Yuuki suggested that they hone Hikawa Shin's skills a bit, which is why the two of them hesitated to make a move until the most crucial moment.

Even after entering Helheim, Hikawa Shin was still not recovered from the previous crisis.

"what's wrong?"

Yu Xing walked over with a smile and glanced at his broken arm.

"It just feels a little unreal."

Just as Bingchuan Xin was about to scratch his head, a sharp pain in his right arm pulled him back to reality.

"A minor issue."

After glancing at his injuries, Yu Xing's black flames shot out from her fingertips and attached themselves to Bingchuan Xin's right arm.

The black flames that could cause immense pain to monsters fell on humans, but miraculously, they caused Hikawa Shin's entire right arm to recover rapidly.

In just a moment, Bingchuan Xin found that his arm had fully recovered.

"That's amazing!"

He sighed and stretched his arms.

"Doesn't it seem even more surreal now?"

Bingchuan Xin nodded: "This life-or-death experience felt like you came here specifically to test me."

"So what did you learn from this?"

The four walked slowly forward, parted a thicket of bushes, and came to a clearing where a fire was burning.

Upon seeing the group return, Hikawa Makoto stood up in surprise and quickly walked over to Hikawa Shin, looking him up and down.

Before Bingchuan Xin could answer, Bingchuan Cheng pulled him aside and began to ask him questions.

Sato Jiro and Sonozaki Kirihiko didn't disturb the two too much, and quietly walked into the camp, leaving Yuuki and the other two alone.

"Don't worry, your nephew is fine."

Yu Xing didn't let the uncle and nephew talk for long before pulling Bingchuan Xin aside.

"You haven't answered my previous questions yet."

Sitting on a tree stump, Youxing looked at the glacier letter.

Faced with this question, Bingchuan Xin sat up straight, looking somewhat serious.

"I don't think I'm ready to become a Kamen Rider yet."

As she was talking, Yu Xing raised her hand and slapped Bingchuan Xin on the head: "What nonsense are you giving?"

"I'm talking about real feelings, not these empty platitudes."

This left Bingchuan Xin somewhat puzzled; he couldn't fathom what this senior wanted to hear him say.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave a stammering answer: "I'm not strong enough."

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this answer, Yu Xing clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"It's because you're not strong enough. If you were strong enough, none of this would have happened, right?"

Yuuki's words made a lot of sense, and Hikawa Shin didn't refute them; he just nodded.

If he were strong enough, his arm wouldn't have broken, and he could have successfully killed the monster instead of being forced to flee in a sorry state with the old man.

"But how can I become stronger?"

Iceberg was puzzled. He believed that the G5 armor was already of superior performance, representing the highest level of technological achievement the Metropolitan Police Department had made in over a decade!

"The strength of armor depends not only on the armor itself, but also on yourself."

Yuuki poked Hikawa Shin's chest, causing a slight stirring in Hikawa Shin's heart.

"The reason I can unleash the full potential of the G5 armor is because I am powerful enough."

Hikawa Shin glanced at Yuuki and shook his head in disdain: "But I don't want to become a weirdo like my senior."

This left Yu Xing speechless. He tapped Bingchuan Xin on the head in exasperation, making him yelp.

"Is that what I meant? What I meant was, if you want to protect others, you must first become stronger yourself. Only by working harder and harder can you protect everyone!"

"We must have the courage to forge ahead and the determination to protect everyone!"

Covering his head, Bingchuan Xin nodded repeatedly.

You are far from good enough; you must become even better!

But what should I do?

Hearing Yuuki's words, Hikawa Shin looked puzzled.

Seeing Hikawa Shin's appearance, Yuuki offered a solution.

"Come for special training, young man. The World Tree Foundation is worth your time."

Seeing the potential of the Iceberg Letter, Yu Xing decisively sent out his business card.

After taking the business card and looking at the address on it, Bingchuan Xin was slightly taken aback.

"Wasn't this place already sealed off?"

"Just come."

Yuuki didn't explain much. He smiled and turned to talk to Sato Jiro.

Putting away his business card, Bingchuan Xin jumped down from the tree stump, put his hands in his pockets, and lowered his head in thought.

Hikawa Makoto appeared beside him at some point and patted him on the shoulder.

"Um, Uncle!"

He was startled and cried out in surprise.

"Shh..."

Bingchuan Cheng made a gesture, took the business card out of Bingchuan Xin's pocket, and looked at it again and again.

"So it's in Tibet...?"

He didn't say it aloud, but kept it to himself.

After a moment of silence, he patted his nephew on the shoulder.

"Since it's his invitation, then go ahead and don't worry. He's far beyond your expectations."

With his uncle's assurance, Hikawa Shinryo nodded: "I understand. I will definitely become stronger until I become a qualified Kamen Rider!"

Is he a qualified knight?

Bingchuan Cheng listened to his nephew's words and chuckled. He felt that his nephew had long been a prime example, at least much better than he had been back then.

As he pondered this, the silhouettes of his companions reappeared in his memory.

"Shoichi, have you triumphed over fate?"

Chapter 129 Temporary Rest

Yuuki was unaware of Hikawa Shin and Hikawa Makoto's conversation. He quickly walked to the center of the camp and saw Sato Jiro resting with his eyes closed, leaning against a tree.

After receiving supplies from the camp, his complexion was no longer as pale as before, and it was much rosier.

"Sato!"

Yuxing called to him from afar. He opened his eyes and looked in Yuxing's direction with a puzzled expression. Upon seeing Yuxing, he straightened up abruptly and stood at attention.
