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

"It's time to go. Yuuki and the others are going to the Sonozaki family, so we should go too."

"Don't forget that you left Kazali there."

Wu Fan, being more composed, reminded Ying Si.

“I understand, but there’s no rush regarding Kazali.”

Eiji took out a bright red coin from his pocket; the two broken coins were vaguely about to be joined together.

“I told you that place was built specifically for knights. You’d better not even think about using it to restore Ankh.”

Mezier became more languid, and within that languidness was a hint of smugness.

As long as Ankh doesn't revive, they can continue to control Eiji.

They haven't decided yet who will be the person by the king's side!

If Ankh were to suddenly revive, their entire plan would be disrupted.

"At least there is a glimmer of hope."

Holding the coin firmly in his hand, Director Ying let out a breath.

Next, he decided to explore other parts of Fengdu.

"This is the last place left behind from that great battle; there must still be some secrets hidden in the shadows."

As for Yuuki... Eiji isn't worried.

He had already realized that Yuuki had recovered to her peak condition.

In his prime, no one in the present world could rival Yuuki.

With that thought in mind, Eiji turned and left, quickly disappearing from the hotel.

Just before leaving, a green coin, along with a large number of cellular coins, fell and quickly coalesced into Uvan.

"Hmph, they actually made me stay behind to protect these people."

After swallowing the three core coins, Wu Fan snorted coldly and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Outside Sonozaki Manor

Yuuki and the others stood in front of the Sonozaki Manor. This time, no one knocked on the door; instead, they quickly transformed in front of it.

"Next, I will tear open the crack and let the grass invade the entire Sonozaki Manor from the outside."

"In addition to that, I will also use a rather special ability."

Yu Xing closed her eyes slightly. Half of the two watch heads in her body had already merged together. They no longer clashed, but rather embraced each other.

The feeling of manipulating time, though still somewhat weak, is not completely disabled.

"It seems that only after the two clock heads are completely fused can one freely use time manipulation techniques here?"

While she was thinking about it, Yuuki's hands didn't slow down at all.

He raised his hand and tore open the rift, and the group entered Helheim.

Then, Yuuki took a few steps forward and tore open Helheim once more.

Countless worlds shifted and compressed outside the rift, but the little grass, already familiar with the operation, quickly extended its vines from the new other world into the Sonozaki Manor.

Without the black flames' support and with its power weakened, the little grass couldn't invade all the worlds at once and could only explore slowly.

But Yuuki didn't have that time, so he reached out his hand and plunged it into the crevice.

The power of the clockwork spread along his arm and penetrated into every level of the Sonozaki Manor.

The next second, all levels of existence instantly paused, and the entire world fell into silence.

Endless energy flowed inward through Yu Xing's arm, pausing time on all levels.

The excessively violent extraction of energy caused both watches to tremble within Yuuki's body, as if they were about to collapse and disappear under the pressure.

However, under Yuuki's will, the energy of these two watches continued to flow outwards.

Time within the layers began to reverse; layers that had not yet been born were reversed to nothingness, and newly born layers rapidly shrank, teetering on the brink of destruction.

The rate at which layers are created has been curbed and has begun to decrease rapidly.

The pressure on the grass lessened, and the vines stretched out faster, as if they wanted to explore the depths of Sonozaki Manor.

Hikawa Makoto and the others stood behind Yuuki, watching helplessly as Yuuki's body developed numerous cracks.

"Yuxing, you have to stop! If this continues, you'll die."

When Hikawa Makoto's voice came, Yuuki didn't say a word, but silently increased the intensity a few more times.

Under such extreme stimulation, the fusion speed of the two watch heads suddenly accelerated, and they quickly merged into a new watch head.

The new watch face has a normal Kuuga portrait on one half and a bizarre, alien Kuuga portrait on the other half.

After the fusion is completed, the power of the meter head is greatly enhanced, and the output power instantly increases to a higher level.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, the rift trembled continuously, and the ever-changing scenery inside slowed down more and more until it finally froze completely, transforming into the scenery of Sonozaki Manor.

"Looks like this is the place."

Although her body was on the verge of collapse, Youxing's expression showed a hint of relief.

Thanks to Heim's treatment, he is now powerful enough to open a passage to the true location of Sonozaki Manor.

"Haha, you're really strong. It seems the chaos in Fengdu will be over soon."

When Sonozaki Kirihiko saw this, he was also somewhat surprised, but after the surprise came extreme joy.

He burst into laughter and took the lead in walking towards the view outside the rift.

The others didn't hesitate much and followed him into the crevice.

Chapter 148 Sonozaki Rubei (Earth Form)

As they passed through the crevice, the sight before them, which gave them all a moment of stunned surprise, made them pause.

Completely different from the Sonozaki Manor I had seen before, the environment here has changed dramatically.

The sky was a deep purple, with neither sun nor moon. The light seemed to come from all directions at once, without any clear source.

The Sonozaki family manor stood before them, all the scenery perfectly still, as if the whole world had been frozen in a painting.

"Is this the real Sonozaki Manor?"

Kagami asked in a low voice, subconsciously tightening his grip on the Steel-Fighting Insect.

"I'm not quite sure either, I've never left the manor buildings."

Sonozaki Kirihiko's expression was complicated; this was the first time he had truly stood on the ground outside the Sonozaki Manor.

"This shows that they don't take you seriously at all."

Yu Xing looked at the open space in front of the manor gate, where a large group of people were standing.

The leader was an elderly man dressed in a dark kimono, holding a wooden cane, with his white hair neatly combed and a faint smile on his face.

"Hello, Haruno Yuuki, this is our first meeting."

As he spoke, Kirihiko Sonozaki, who was standing beside Yuuki, explained on his behalf.

“My father-in-law, Sonozaki Ryubei.”

Similarly, this person is also Manatsu's grandfather, but their first meeting ended in a fight with swords drawn.

Behind Sonozaki Ryubei stood Sonozaki Saeko and dozens of mixed-race individuals dressed in black.

All eyes calmly fell on Yuuki and her group. They showed no surprise or panic, as if they had known all along that Yuuki and the others would come.

Yu Xing was not moved in the slightest by this, and he strode forward.

Hikawa Makoto and Kagami exchanged a glance and followed.

Sonozaki Kirihiko took a deep breath and started walking, while Manatsu was protected behind Shinku, carefully following at the back.

Yuuki finally stopped about ten steps away from Sonozaki Ryubei. He glanced at the dark mass of people behind Sonozaki Ryubei, and a slight smile appeared on his cracked lips.

"You don't think you can defeat me just by calling more people, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Saeko Sonozaki's expression immediately changed. She took a step forward, but was stopped by Ryubei Sonozaki.

"Zezi, step back."

The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. Sonozaki Saeko bit her lip and retreated to her original position, but her gaze towards Yuuki was full of anger.

Yuuki glanced at Sonozaki Saeko, recognized her, and immediately mocked, "Isn't this the person I punched to death that day? So you're not dead after all, and you actually have the courage to jump out now."

"you!!!"

Upon hearing this, Sonozaki Saeko was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She was about to take action when Sonozaki Ryubei glared at her fiercely.

"Get out! Don't embarrass yourself here."

Under Ruhei Sonozaki's reprimand, Saeko Sonozaki could only grit her teeth angrily and reluctantly return to the building.

"Zezi..."

"Zonezaki Kirihiko called softly, but Sonozaki Saeko didn't stop for a second because of him, which made Sonozaki Kirihiko freeze on the spot.

The tug-of-war between the two caused Sonozaki Ryubei to glance at Sonozaki Kirihiko, shake his head, and reveal a hint of disappointment before turning to look at Yuuki at the front.

"Young man, you have a short temper."

He spoke slowly, his voice as calm as if he were chatting with a junior.

"But it's okay, I understand. After all, I've done so many things that, in your eyes, I really deserve to die."

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow, surprised that the old man was quite self-aware.

Looking at Yuuki, Sonozaki Ryubei continued, "But everything I've done is to save humanity."

Upon hearing this, Hikawa Makoto, standing behind Yuuki, could no longer hold back.

"Saving humanity?"
