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

The woman had a faint smile on her face and gentle eyes, which made Manatsu feel a strange sense of familiarity.

"you are?"

"My name is Sonozaki Wakanai, so I should be considered your elder?"

Even Jolai herself was a little confused, and she smiled and scratched her head.

Manatsu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses.

There were many people in the Sonozaki family she didn't know, but compared to the situation in front of her, they were nothing.

She quieted down, looked at Sonozaki Wakanai, and waited for her to continue.

Seeing Manatsu being so obedient, Sonozaki Wakana's eyes crinkled into a smile: "What a good child. The reason you were able to come here is because the Earth Library chose you."

"You chose me?" Manatsu had just heard this sentence, and she was a little confused.

“Yes.” Sonozaki Wakana nodded. “The Earth Library has seen everything my father has done. While it doesn’t favor any side, it won’t allow anyone to act recklessly under its name.”

She raised her hand and waved it gently, and a screen of light appeared in front of Manatsu.

Within the light screen, the figure of Sonozaki Ryubei appeared, radiating blue light as he fought against Yuuki and the others.

“My father misunderstood the will of the Earth Library.” Wakana Sonozaki’s voice carried a hint of sadness. “The Earth Library does not need human evolution, much less human self-salvation. The destruction of humanity is merely a small episode in the long history of the Earth.”

Manatsu watched the battle on the light screen. Yuuki was knocked away, Hikawa Makoto's armor shattered, and Kagami was forced back by lava... Her heart ached.

"Then why did the Earth Library give Grandpa power?"

Sonozaki Wakana was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Because the Earth needs maintenance."

"maintain?"

“Yes.” Wakana Sonozaki nodded. “The purpose of the Earth Library is to record everything about Earth. It has no power to change anything, but Earth needs someone to protect it.”

She paused, then continued, "The revelation my father received was not about human evolution, but about cleaning up the things that were destroying the Earth's environment: pollution, war, excessive resource exploitation... But he misunderstood and imposed his own will on humanity."

"That's completely wrong."

Another voice suddenly broke in.

Manatsu turned her head and saw a young man in a white coat walk out from behind the bookshelf.

His hair was a little messy, and his face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were very clear.

"You are......"

"My name is Philip," the young man smiled slightly. "Perhaps you haven't heard of me, but you can call me by another name: Kamen Rider W."

Philip stepped forward and ruffled Manatsu's hair.

"You've arrived."

"Ah."

Philip gave a brief reply to Jolai, then looked down at Manatsu and said.

“Ryubei Sonozaki completely misunderstood the will of the Earth Library. He thought that humanity needed to evolve, that only by becoming stronger could they survive. But the Earth Library never cared about the life or death of humanity; it cared about the Earth itself.”

"Then why did Grandpa do that?" Zhenxia asked.

Philip paused for a moment, then said softly, "It's just wishful thinking on his part."

He looked up at the battle on the light screen, his expression somewhat complicated.

......

On the battlefield, Yuuki was once again knocked away.

He felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, the cracks on his body were increasing, and the black flames were becoming intermittent.

"Yuyuki!"

Hikawa Makoto rushed over to help him up; he himself wasn't in much better shape, his G5 armor had burst open and he'd torn it aside.

Kagami also came over, half of his mask was shattered, revealing one eye underneath.

The three of them stood together, looking at the blue figure in mid-air, and smiled with relief.

"We can't beat them, we really can't beat them."

Even with Yuuki's Black Sky powers activated, he was still no match for Sonozaki Ryubei.

The power of an entire Earth is something no single knight can contend with.

Bingchuan Cheng did not refute, but clenched his fist.

The darkness in Yu Xing's eyes subsided somewhat after being struck. He took a deep breath and was about to say something when a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

It's Manatsu's voice.

"Yu-Sheng, listen to me."

Yuuki's body stiffened, and he fell silent, waiting for Manatsu to continue.

"He misunderstood the will of the Earth Library. The Earth Library does not need human evolution; it only wants him to maintain the Earth's environment. He interpreted this mission as enabling human evolution."

Manatsu's voice was intermittent, as if she were speaking from a great distance.

“Tell him the truth.”

Having received the real answer, Yuuki opened his eyes and, without much doubt, looked at Sonozaki Ryubei in mid-air.

Sonozaki Ryubei was also looking at him, her blue face expressionless.

"Ryubei Sonozaki!"

Seeing this, Yuuki took a deep breath and shouted, "Do you know you're wrong?!"

Sonozaki Ryubei frowned slightly, thinking that Yuuki was somewhat delirious from the beating: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"The lesson the Earth Library teaches you is not about human evolution!"

"It's just telling you to protect the Earth's environment! You've completely misunderstood it!"

Yuuki's two sentences stunned Sonozaki Ryubei.

But he quickly realized, "These little tricks can't confuse me."

“I’m not making this up,” Yuuki interrupted him. “It was Manatsu who told me.”

"what?!"

Ryubei Sonozaki naturally knew that Manatsu had just entered the Earth Library, and he wavered slightly.

The blue light began to fluctuate, and the flow of lava within the red fissures became chaotic.

Just as he was about to retort, a beam of light shot out from the globe and pierced into Sonozaki Ryubei's forehead.

That was the truth that the Earth Library told him personally, and countless images flashed through Sonozaki Ryubei's mind.

That was the initial inspiration of the Earth Library, which sought to heal the damaged environment of the Earth.

As the images flashed by, Sonozaki Ryubei's face quickly turned pale.

He was completely wrong, completely wrong from the very beginning.

But he remembered that the inspiration the Earth Library had given him back then was definitely not this!

Sensing something was wrong, Sonozaki Ryubei's body began to disintegrate, and he quickly looked down at Yuuki and the others.

On his deathbed, he made the best decision of his life.

"Be careful! Someone has misled me. You all need to be careful!"

With her resolve wavering, Sonozaki Ryubei could no longer control her body and plummeted straight into the purple torrent below.

Before falling, he reached across his waist, pulled out something, and threw it at Yuuki.

Yu Xing caught it with his hand, and was taken aback by what was thrown at him.

Chapter 150 Sonozaki Kirihiko's Choice

What is this?

Sonozaki Ryubei's actions were not kept secret from others. Hikawa Makoto and the others stepped forward and were all stunned when they saw what Yuuki was holding.

"A clock? How can there be such a strange clock?"

Kagami scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.

But Yuuki recognized what he was holding: a Rider Watch!

Looking at the watch face painted with a terrifying two-tone portrait, Yuuki gently pressed the switch, and a deep sound came from the watch face.

"W!"

It is obvious that this watch head is an outlier dual-rider watch head.

"Is it related to the knight who disappeared in Fuuto?"

Holding the watch head, Yuuki thought to himself.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why Sonozaki Ryubei would hand him this watch before falling into the river.

He and Sonozaki Ryuhei only met once, so why would Sonozaki Ryuhei entrust this thing to him?

"The Earth Library..."

Realizing who had orchestrated all of this, Yuuki looked at the enormous globe on the manor.

"Zonezaki Ryuhei has disappeared. Should we go check on the situation there?"

The others were not greatly affected by the appearance of the watch head. While Yuuki remained silent, Kagami pointed to the crack that had been torn open on the other side.

“I remember one of my helpers took another enemy away.”

Sonozaki Ryubei's defeat was so rapid that the outcome of the match on that side was still undecided.

Yuuki's attention was drawn away from the globe. He looked back at the crack and nodded, saying, "Go see if you can help in any way."

Yuuki walked towards the buildings of the Sonozaki Manor. Sonozaki Kirihiko watched Yuuki head in that direction and felt a pang of anxiety.

"You guys go, I'll go with him to take a look over there."
