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

Upon reaching the crevice, Yuuki quickly pressed the button and threw the jamming device inside.

After he finished doing everything, he gave the foreigner the middle finger.

"Stop fooling around, run!"

The heavily armored alien was successfully distracted by Yuuki's disdainful gesture, which helped Guihu escape from the giant vine sword.

But Guihu stood up and immediately shouted at Youxing, who had his back to the crack.

Just as Yuuki was about to ask why, she sensed an intense heat emanating from behind her, and a profound sense of threat quietly welled up in her heart.

"Holy shit!"

He cursed angrily, spread his wings, and rushed out without hesitation.

But the heavily armored aliens were already on guard against him, and as before, they blocked Yuxing's escape route with a large net.

"Keep pushing!"

A military knife, accompanied by Wu Daogui's voice, pierced through the mesh. Yu Xing, who was in mid-air, grabbed the knife and pushed the speed to the limit.

High-speed, wielding a sharp military knife, cleaved the large net in two. Yuuki darted through the net and caught the waiting Guihu.

The two of them burst out of the broken window in one breath and soared into the sky.

"boom!!!"

After the two rushed out, the teaching building behind them suddenly shook violently, and the fifth floor was completely blown apart, with a mushroom cloud slowly rising into the sky.

"What the hell is this jamming device?"

Flying in mid-air, the cheerful Yuuki was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Just a small nuclear bomb."

The two landed slowly, and Wu Dao Guihu deactivated his transformation and spoke calmly.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? You almost killed me!"

Yuuki bristled and angrily berated Wu Dao Guihu.

"When you brought it up, I told you to throw it away and run, but you had to stand there and show off."

Wu Daogui retorted.

"Could you explain that more clearly?"

"I'm about to be crushed to death by that giant sword, I don't have time to talk to you!"

"..."

The two were arguing, which made the team members watching from the sidelines quietly turn their heads away.

When the leaders argue, they can only pretend they didn't hear it, but fortunately, things went relatively smoothly today.

Once they were in the car, Yuuki stared blankly at his ID card, while Wu Daogui patted him on the shoulder.

"I know you're envious, don't worry... I'll get you a belt when we get back."

"The first lock seed that you underwent transformation is still kept in our laboratory."

"Or rather, it was a lock that was prepared for you long ago, and only you can use it."

Chapter 33 Internal Meeting on Belt Risk

World Tree Foundation, Inspection Room

"The detailed report is out; take a look for yourself."

Yuuki sat up from the examination table, put on her coat, and took her examination report from Guihu.

"I thought you wanted the driver, but I didn't expect you were actually concerned about this?"

Yuuki flipped through her report: "Of course, I'm still not sure if the partial transformation will have any effect on my current body."

"As for the belt and lock, I do not plan to use them at the moment, nor do I want to."

Wu Dao Guihu was somewhat surprised by Youxing's attitude. He sat down next to Youxing and put his arm around his shoulder: "Why?"

"You saw the power of the belt and the lockseed, didn't you? That's a power even greater than yours."

Yuuki didn't answer Takato, but patiently read through the entire report. After confirming that the partial transformation had little impact on his human state, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"why?"

After Yuuki finished reading, Wu Daogui asked again.

"The power exerted by the Lockseed and the belt is indeed greater than mine, but have you considered what you'll have to pay for it?"

Yuuki tossed the report aside and asked a question.

"Have you ever wondered why you were unable to complete the belt until I used it?"

Yuuki's words startled Wu Daogui, who rested his chin on his hand and frowned.

"I didn't want to tell you about this, but the more the belt development progresses, the greater my unease becomes."

Yuuki told Kureshima Takato about the person he saw when he first used the belt.

"Although I don't know who that guy is, he must be a terrifying being, far more powerful than any superior alien."

If they keep using the belt, the final outcome will be fighting against monsters like that... Yuuki doesn't think they have any chance of winning.

"Furthermore, Lockseeds are transformed from Helheim Fruits. Are you sure that using them too much won't turn you into someone like me?"

Yuuki looked at Wu Daogui, his face showing strange patterns.

He pointed to his face: "I am an exception among the aliens, able to maintain my own consciousness."

"If you abuse the Lockseed, will humanity eventually all turn into aliens? If that happens, Earth will probably be doomed."

"..."

Wu Daogui crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

Yuuki's words make sense, but the belt is only in its initial stage now, and there aren't even many test samples. Whether it will evolve into what Yuuki described is too difficult to prove with strong evidence.

“I will talk to Lingma about your suggestion and ask him to add an insurance mechanism to the drive.”

"If what you say is true, we will activate the insurance immediately."

Guihu told Youxing his thoughts, and then he changed the subject.

"However, as you know, we have no choice but to use the belt now."

"It is our only means of fighting against the creatures within Helheim."

"And you know the way the conglomerates operate; they would never give up such a lucrative prize as Helheim."

Driven by extreme self-interest, personal emotions and even life and death become insignificant; conglomerates don't care.

Even if Yuuki harbors resentment towards the conglomerate, they will still recruit him without reservation as long as it is helpful to the project.

This is what conglomerates strive for.

“I don’t care about anyone else, I’m only worried that you’ll have problems because of the belt. Apart from me, you’re one of the first people to use the belt.”

Guihu understood Youxing's implied meaning and smiled.

"If that day ever comes, I'll still need you to kill me. I don't want to become a mindless monster."

"This is considered an agreement between us."

Yuuki's expression was complicated. He couldn't stop Takato, just as Takato couldn't stop his decision.

They all have things they want to do and their own pursuits.

"Drip drip."

Just then, the communicator hanging on their waists suddenly made a sound. Yuuki and Takatora exchanged a glance and turned on the communicator.

"Those who receive this message, please come to Room 314 on the 7th floor of the complex immediately for a meeting!"

The message was brief and didn't reveal any useful information.

"what's the situation?"

Yuuki, not quite understanding the message, asked Takatora for help since it was the first time he had received such news from the conglomerate.

"It must be something quite important, otherwise the top management of the conglomerate wouldn't have sent out such a sudden message."

Guihu seemed to be deep in thought, and Youxing took the lead in pushing open the door to the examination room.

"Let's talk as we walk."

The two left the examination room and entered the elevator.

There was no one else in the elevator, so Guihu didn't remain silent and told Youxing his speculation.

"I think it must be related to Helheim. At this critical stage, this is the only thing that warrants the foundation holding a meeting."

Do you remember those vines that disappeared on the first floor of the teaching building?

Yu Xing nodded slightly; of course he remembered that they had spent quite a bit of time there.

"Those vines were indeed taken back by the conglomerate, but they didn't know beforehand that the rifts would appear randomly."

"This meeting might lead to some new discoveries on those vines."

"Ding!"

The elevator arrived, and people were coming and going on the 7th floor. Guihu decisively shut up, and Youxing didn't ask any more questions. She followed Guihu silently toward the conference room.

"Guihu!"

They had only walked a few steps when Yuuki heard someone calling Wu Dao Guihu from behind. The two turned their heads and saw Zhan Ji Lingma, wearing a white coat, trotting over.

"You're going to participate too?"

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow.

"Don't look down on me. The Sengoku Driver is the core of the Helheim project."

Zhan Ji Lingma crossed his arms, looking arrogant and haughty.

He is a genius among geniuses, capable of mastering the Sengoku Driver.
