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

His nervous appearance made Yuuki chuckle. He jogged over and stood in front of Sato.

"Don't be so nervous, I just came to talk to you."

Sato Jiro wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I thought you were coming to cause me trouble. I can't take your punch."

No joke, even if Yuuki used just one percent of his strength to hit Sato, it would be enough to break his bones.

"We're just chatting casually, we'll talk as we walk."

Noticing the others who were curiously peeking out and observing, Yuuki didn't stay in one place for long. Instead, he decisively led Sato Jiro into the bushes.

The others wanted to follow, but their path was blocked by the rushing grass. Seeing that the web formed by the grass was very dense, they had no choice but to leave disappointed.

Wandering through Helheim, Yuuki plucked a fruit from a tree and tossed it to Sato.

"Is this the kind of fruit I picked?"

Sato hadn't noticed before, but now he realized that the environment here was similar to the environment on the level they had been on before.

"No wonder those vines were fighting that monster."

Sato reacted quickly and soon figured everything out.

Then, he weighed the Helheim Fruit in his hand and looked at Yuuki.

"Why are you giving me this? It's actually edible."

Yuuki nodded: "Not only can you eat it, but after eating it, you will also gain the power to fight against monsters."

Upon hearing this, Sato Jiro was not overjoyed; he simply looked at the fruit calmly.

"Won't it come at a high price?"

He was so hungry before that he ignored everything around him, but now, his brilliant mind has taken over.

Don't forget, he's a biology expert. Although his research has nothing to do with the fruit, he can still deduce some things about it.

"That's right. Most people will be attracted by its strange aroma and turn into a brainless monster after swallowing it."

A low-level alien immediately emerged from the bushes, his dull-looking appearance piquing Sato Jiro's curiosity.

"so?"

After observing for a moment, he asked Youxing.

"I would like to invite you to join our consortium to help us analyze and optimize these types of fruits."

Yuuki did not forget her mission to recruit talent for the World Tree Foundation.

After the previous test, Yuuki thought that Sato Jiro was very suitable.

"I can agree to that."

Sato Jiro didn't hesitate much and readily agreed; he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse Yuuki.

"However, I cannot guarantee that I will succeed."

Yuuki was initially a little skeptical, but after Sato Jiro finished speaking, he felt much more at ease.

"It would be difficult for me to fully analyze this on my own; it's a product of another world."

"I need funding, I need manpower, and most importantly, I need time."

After Sato Jiro made his request, Yuuki agreed to it without any objection.

The World Tree Foundation has nothing but money to burn.

If Sato Jiro could resolve the issue of the Helheim Fruit, he believed they would soon be able to assemble an armored legion.

At that time, the World Tree Foundation would experience far fewer casualties no matter what kind of exploration they conducted.

"Take this and play with it for now. After this, there are even more difficult projects waiting for you."

After Yu Xing finished speaking, she left satisfied.

If Sato Jiro can solve the Helheim Fruit problem, then he plans to hand over both the Apple Lockseed Fruit and the Gold Fruit to him for research.

This is the finest creation of Helheim.

However, Xiang Le did not escape his notice, and he was somewhat troubled.

"Oh dear, this little guy has really gotten himself into big trouble."

The world was somewhat beyond Xiang Le's expectations; he had thought it was just a simple human world.

But now it seems that things are not so simple here.

"No wonder you guys let me invade this world; it turns out your motives weren't pure from the very beginning."

He looked up at the high heavens, where several mysterious beings seemed to stand, silently watching over all things in the world.

"Since that's the case, I'll have no choice but to resort to some tricks."

Sagara wouldn't easily let everything about Helheim leak out. He was about to make a move, but his hand froze in mid-air.

A moment later, his eyes widened, somewhat bewildered: "What do you mean the will of Helheim agrees to his actions?!"

This is absurd!

The Helheim exists to filter civilizations, but if everything in the Helheim is in the hands of others, wouldn't it lose its filtering function?

Sagara couldn't understand why Helheim would do this, and he asked frantically before finally getting an answer.

"This is also a form of screening."

The attitude of the Helheim Underworld's will is clear: if Yuuki can truly break the power of the Gold Fruit, then the Helheim Underworld will belong to him.

"what?"

Knowing this result, Sagara was nine-tenths unhappy. He pouted and said, "I don't want to become that guy's possession."

Even though Yuuki was just an ordinary person who accidentally obtained the power of Helheim, he couldn't accept Yuuki's growth rate at all.

But Helheim did not respond to him further. As part of the division of will, Sagara had no right to refuse.

The response from Helheim was already a great act of leniency for him.

"It's really awful."

Sagara didn't want to return to the embrace of the will of Helheim; he covered his forehead, feeling a terrible headache.

But he had no solution. Helheim was monitoring his every move, and he had no freedom whatsoever.

Is learning everything about humanity ultimately good or bad?

Squatting down, Xiang Le played with the pebbles on the ground, feeling a mix of emotions.

He wasn't always like this, but after a long period of contact with humans, he's become almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans.

"Damn it."

Thinking about this, he became even more depressed.

But soon, his eyes darted around and he came up with a solution.

He couldn't interfere with Yuuki, but he still had another path to take.

"If they won't let me interfere, I'll just surrender."

He made a decisive decision and quietly disappeared into the underworld of Hel.

If you're going to surrender, you must be sincere!

Inside the camp

Yuuki was unaware that his actions were about to bring about a major change to the entire Helheim Underworld.

He stood before the torn crack, waiting for the grass growing deep within to bring new good news.

Currently, there is only one person in the team who has not yet returned, and that is Eiji, who is fighting alone after shaking off Hikawa Shin.

Even though Yuuki knew that Eiji was quite strong, he couldn't help but worry.

Through Hikawa Shin's account, he also learned what the group had encountered, but Eiji's whereabouts were still unknown, and he had no intention of arguing with those people.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

After some time, Youxing asked the little grass hanging on her wrist.

The little grass instantly straightened up and swayed on Youxing's wrist.

After the grass invaded, the speed at which space and time folded in Sonozaki Manor increased rapidly, and the number of layers also increased at an extremely terrifying rate.

Now, even a blade of grass can't invade all layers at the same time.

Knowing that the best opportunity had been missed, continuing to search like this would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Youxing pursed her lips and had Xiaocao withdraw.

What should I do?

He then chopped down a tree and sat on the freshly cut stump, lost in thought. Meanwhile, Sonozaki Kirihiko sat in a tree not far away, watching Yuuki deep in thought, and was sweating profusely.

Although Hikawa Makoto and the others were at fault in this incident, if he hadn't self-destructed the entire level, they wouldn't have been separated.

If Eiji really died in this incident, he had no doubt that Yuuki would tear him to pieces when she settled accounts.

Yuuki didn't notice what Sonozaki Kirihiko was thinking, and decided to return to the real world first.

He felt that Eiji shouldn't have any problems, since he knew that Eiji was carrying some other things with him.

"Those greedy people should be of great help, right?"

Before coming to Fuuto, Yuuki obtained information about all the knights 10 years in the future from Kaoru Ichijo.

This made him realize that Eiji's armor relied heavily on the power of the combo, and that with all the Greedy Ones gathered, Eiji, who could unleash his full power, was not someone that ordinary people could deal with.

"Hopefully, Eiji will make some progress."

Stopping thinking about Eisuke's matter, he got up and walked towards the camp.

After giving a brief explanation, he cut open the crack, and this time the view outside the crack was very clear.

It is still a windy city shrouded in dark clouds.

The group emerged from Helheim and stepped onto a puddle-covered road.

The sky over Fengdu was already completely dark, and there were very few pedestrians on the road, and their walking posture was somewhat unsteady.

"Don't look, they're all dead people."
