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

"Of course, it's death."

Daido Katsumi frankly expressed his thoughts and told Yuuki his secret: "Our immortality requires the injection of a substance to maintain it. If we lose it, we will truly die."

"We've died more than once already."

As an immortal, Da Dao Keji witnessed firsthand how this city was destroyed, and now he will witness its rebirth.

"Hey, you can't just die like this."

Just as he was about to peacefully close his eyes, Shotaro's voice made Daido Katsumi open his eyes again.

"Get up now."

Shotaro reached out, trying to pull Daido Katsumi up, but Daido Katsumi refused to get up like a mangy dog.

"The Great Way is about self-discipline. Weren't you a fearless warrior charging into battle before? Look at what you've become now."

Shotaro had no choice but to squat down and mutter to Daido Katsumi, which gave Daido Katsumi a terrible headache.

"Stop reading, I'll get up now."

As if he disliked Shotaro Hidari, Katsumi Daido immediately distanced himself from him the moment he arrived.

Shotaro didn't mind. He looked at Yuuki, who was somewhat surprised, and introduced him with a big white smile: "This is Daido Katsumi, my former comrade-in-arms."

Daido Katsumi snorted coldly, clearly unwilling to admit what Shotaro Sato had said, but he ultimately did not refute it.

Shotaro didn't pay much attention and continued to introduce the next part: "Katsumi's immortality played a very strong role in that great battle. We killed many monsters together on the battlefield, but two fists can't fight four hands."

Shotaro shrugged. Yuuki was a little curious about what kind of terrifying battle could have made Shotaro and the others exclaim in such amazement.

Shotaro thought for a moment and said, "There are many things I can't tell you, but you only need to know one thing: if such a disaster were to happen again, even you would be worn down to death."

"That's not just a few, it's truly endless."

Thinking of that scene, Shotaro felt a chill run down his spine.

This made Yuuki even more curious, but once Shotaro Hidari spoke, everything else automatically turned into gibberish in Yuuki's ears.

Most information about that great battle could not be leaked.

"If even the slightest leak occurs, another major war will break out."

Shotaro Zuo only said this one sentence, but it sent chills down everyone's spine. What does it mean to erupt again?

Chapter 165 Aftermath

“There is a type of pollution called cognitive pollution, and this great battle is in this situation.”

Philip nodded his head: "I know it's okay, because I'm essentially a dead man now."

If it weren't for Yuuki's gift of the watch head, Philip would have died long ago, instead of being in this half-dead state.

“But you can’t do that. Once you learn even a little bit of the details, the pollution will leak out immediately, and even a seal won’t be able to stop it.”

"So blocking information about the monsters is not only to prevent them from being resurrected, but also to ensure that this great war is firmly locked in history."

After Philip finished explaining, he looked at Youxing with a hint of relief on his face: "Fortunately, you didn't leave Fengdu with us back then. If you had come with us, you would never have been able to leave our era, whether you lived or died later."

Information about the great war must be sealed away. If Yuuki insists on returning, then that great war will instantly descend upon the present world.

Yuuki was also surprised to learn that there was such a hidden story behind that great battle. Hikawa Makoto and Kagami were also somewhat taken aback. No wonder they couldn't recall any information related to that great battle no matter how hard they tried.

Soon, Yuuki seemed to have thought of something and asked Philip, "From what I understand, the seal of this great war is about to break. Is there any way we can repair the seal?"

Upon hearing this news, Philip immediately retorted, "How many years have passed since that great war?"

Yuuki raised her hand and made a three, which shocked Philip: "How is this possible?! The seal can clearly last for 10 years! According to our calculations, the turning point will only come after ten years!"

This is a full seven years ahead of schedule, which is quite an exaggerated time span!

Philip's words caused Yu Xing and the others' expressions to change simultaneously: "But this year is indeed 2013, only three years since 2010!"

How can it be?

Philip was puzzled and began pacing back and forth. Everyone fell silent, waiting for Philip's answer.

A moment later, Philip looked at Yu-Xing, pulled the W watch from his body, and said with a more resolute tone: "Take it."

Philip's body began to disintegrate again, and half of Shotaro's body was squeezed out of Philip's body and stood in front of everyone.

The two of them looked a little strange. Shotaro's hand was placed under Philip's hand, and they both lifted the watch head towards Yuuki.

"no!"

Yuuki tried to put the watch head back in, but Philip and Shotaro refused, and the watch head fell directly out of their bodies.

"The seal has been moved forward. You must possess greater power to stop this catastrophe, otherwise the human world will be doomed!"

Seeing their figures shatter even more, Yuuki, holding the watch, hurriedly asked, "What kind of disaster is this? How much power do I need to solve it?!"

Amidst the shattering chaos, Shotaro turned back and snapped his fingers at Yuuki with his only remaining hand: "I can tell you, that was a great battle started by a knight, as for the power..."

"You must gather the power of at least 10 knights before you can attempt to resolve this!"

Philip spoke rapidly, and after he finished speaking, it was as if the two of them had touched some taboo. The remaining half of their bodies exploded, turning into countless points of light and disappearing without a trace.

Yu Xing stood frozen in place, holding the watch in her hand. Now, the two of them had truly vanished into thin air.

Without a vessel, he could not revive the two.

Seeing Yuuki looking somewhat sad, Hikawa Makoto and Kagami stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Perhaps once that great battle is resolved, they will return again."

Manatsu hugged Yuuki tightly as well. Yuuki looked up at the people around him, took a deep breath, and nodded.

Regardless of whether Philip and his companion can be resurrected after the war, he must move forward now.

Only by moving forward and reaching the end will you know whether some things are possible or not.

"Let's go."

With the Sonozaki family's affairs settled, Yuuki opened the rift to Helheim, and everyone entered. Sonozaki Kirihiko walked at the back, and before the rift closed, he glanced at the desolate Sonozaki Manor behind him with a complicated expression.

Goodbye, my past.

He murmured something and quickly caught up with Yuuki and the others who had returned to the real world after the rift reopened.

The rain was still falling in Fuuto, but it lacked the extreme chill of the rain. Yuuki's face turned grotesque as he looked up at the sky.

The fallen rain has faded its crimson hue, and the stench has begun to dissipate. With the blood pool no longer eroding the Earth Library, the weather in Wind City is gradually returning to normal.

But the dead...

As Yu Xing swept across the street, he could see that the flesh on many pedestrians was already rotting.

A foul stench, which even rain couldn't wash away, wafted over, causing everyone to frown slightly.

They are still able to move only because of the mechanical worms crawling on their spines and cervical vertebrae, while they are actually already dead.

What should be done about these people?

Hikawa Makoto looked cautiously at Sonozaki Kirihiko, whose eyes were filled with sorrow: "Bury them."

Yu Xing's eyes showed no sadness; he knew this was the result of his changing the past.

In fact, after he returned to the correct timeline, far fewer people died in Fuuto compared to the previous timeline.

Because a major change has occurred in Fengdu: the magic circle that covers the entire city has been broken!

Therefore, many people fled the city when the upheaval occurred, and the people on the streets now are only a very small fraction of them.

"This tragedy probably killed close to 100,000 people."

As a police officer, Hikawa Makoto's rough estimate of the expected death toll sent chills down his spine.

"The only thing we can do is collect their bodies and then live on with their resentment and hope."

Yuuki took the first step, and as he moved forward, the rift quietly tore open, and the green dragon emerged from it, roaring as it rampaged through the city.

The clouds in the sky parted slightly because of the appearance of the green dragon, and a gaze came from the sky, looking straight at Yuuki.

But Yuuki wasn't too scared this time. He calmly met the gaze and finally recognized whose eye it was.

"Shoutaro..."

Even in death, Shotaro continues to protect the city, and he will appear whenever a force exceeding a certain strength appears.

"You look really pathetic like this."

A hint of sadness finally crept onto Youxing's face as rain pattered against his cheeks and slid down to the ground.

The eyes in the sky seemed to sense the emotions of their old friend; in the blink of an eye, a tear fell, and a sudden downpour began.

In the continuous rain, the sorrow infected everyone present, and the mournful cries that seemed to come from nowhere left everyone speechless.

"Come on, old friend, I'll take you home. The windy city will still be the same windy city."

The green dragon soared into the air from the ground and flew upwards at an extremely fast speed, passing over tall buildings in the blink of an eye, trying to touch the sky.

The eyes in the sky finally closed, transforming into a shooting star that plummeted straight towards the green dragon.

The others saw nothing, only a flash before their eyes, followed by a deafening roar of thunder and a bolt of lightning that robbed them of all their senses.

When everything returned to calm, Yu Xing found himself holding a corpse.

As everyone looked, the corpse's facial features were already a bloody mess, with only one eye remaining in its socket, constantly oozing blood.

His body was also incomplete; one arm was missing, and everything below his waist was gone.

Such a cruel scene made Hikawa Makoto and the others close their eyes. Yuuki got up, hugged the cold corpse, and jumped onto the top of the green dragon head.

He wanted to take Shotaro Sato to witness the city's rebirth.

Before Bingchuan Cheng and the others could even cry out in alarm, the green dragon swept them up by its tail and carried them away.

New hotel location

Sato Jiro looked at the chaotic crowd in the hall with a headache.

"Quiet down, everyone!"

With a sigh, Sato Jiro shouted loudly at the crowd, but the crowd did not quiet down at all, because some strange creatures had mixed in with the crowd at this moment.

"I saw the bugs come in with my own eyes, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"It's one of those mechanical bugs, the kind with glowing red eyes!"
