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

"Since we're already at it, let's go all the way. If that's the case, let's break the seal directly and free that person as well, then we'll have another ally."

Yuuki's radical words made Kaoru Ichijo's eyelids twitch: "You're still the same as you were back then."

Thinking back to how Yuuki had once searched the mountains and fields alone to challenge Daguba to a duel, only to be beaten half to death, and in the end, it was he and Godai who carried him back.

Kaoru's eyelids twitched again; he found it hard to understand the thought process of this brute in front of him.

"If so many things shatter together, are you sure the monsters released won't cause the entire Tokyo to explode instantly?"

Rin Ichijo was somewhat speechless.

"We'll talk about this later; it's not the right time yet."

Kaoru Ichijo also rejected Yuuki's suggestion; that would be suicidal.

"You have no idea how terrifying some of the monsters inside are; with our current strength, we have almost no way to fight them."

Both denied it, and Yuuki looked at Takato expectantly.

Guihu gave him a look as if he were an idiot, then silently turned his head away.

This Yuuki is completely different from the previous Yuuki!

Has it expanded horizontally?

Little did he know that after Yuuki regained some of his past memories, he became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Like the Fifth Generation, many people have fought for this world over the past decade."

Where have they gone now?

Unable to solve the first problem, Yuuki anxiously inquired about another matter.

He had a premonition that after this seal was broken, Ash would definitely do something big to him, so he had to prepare in advance.

Chapter 47 A Happy Choice

Yuuki stared at Ichijou Kaoru, and the question he asked made Kaoru sigh deeply. He scratched his head and told Yuuki somewhat dejectedly:

"I do not know."

"In the past, the fifth generation would send letters back from time to time, but since the great battle three years ago, everyone has disappeared, as if they no longer exist in this world."

"Surely no new monsters have emerged in these three years? So where were the people protecting the world during these three years?"

Yuuki pressed for more information, and this time Kaoru Ichijo provided detailed details.

"The first knight born in 10 years was Oz, followed by the Forty Knights and the Wizard Knights."

"But unfortunately—"

Kaoru Ichijo stood up and pulled back the curtain beside him, revealing a dense array of strange dolls in front of the three of them.

"The strange people from these three years were not included in the seal because the seal only extends to the last Rider in 09."

"So they are currently exploring the world to deal with any possible monsters."

"We didn't intend to disturb them. After all, aside from their status as knights, they are just human beings."

"More matters should be investigated and resolved by our Metropolitan Police Department; they are merely citizens burdened with the fate of knights."

“Every citizen should be protected by the Metropolitan Police Department.”

Kaoru Ichijo placed his hands on the table; even after more than a decade, his belief remained steadfast.

From the day Godai became Kuuga, he always believed that ordinary people should not bear the responsibility of fighting.

So over the past decade or so, he has continuously iterated on the police system and equipment in order to play a greater role when strange people appear.

This path has also been cut off. Youxing sat in the chair, feeling a bit of a headache: "So, the only forces we can utilize in this generation are a few of us?"

"If the seal breaks, how could the few of us possibly handle it?"

"And us too."

Kaoru patted herself on the shoulder, her eyes resolute: "Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department will stand in your way."

Looking at Kaoru Ichijo, Yuuki suddenly remembered that the old police officer had told them the news before he died, and he fell silent.

As Kaoru Ichijo said, the officers did stand in front of them, even at the cost of their lives.

They kept their promise, but Yuuki felt that this was not what he wanted to see.

“You should not have been sacrificed in such an event.”

After a long silence, he seemed to have made his choice and spoke softly.

"There are only so many good people in this world. If all the good people die in such events, then there will be more bad people."

Yuuki stood up, and his fist collided with the fist that Kaoru Ichijo instinctively extended.

He recalled the injustices he had suffered because of his misfortune, and also thought of the justice that so many people were willing to speak out for him.

Yu Xing's gaze sharpened, and she said in a deep voice, "You once protected me, so naturally I must protect you."

Regardless of anything else, Yuuki felt that she couldn't let down some people, some people who had once been willing to protect her.

"It's good that you have this belief."

Perhaps the Five Dynasties period thought the same way? Did they not want to see more people shed tears?

As Kaoru recalled Godai's words, a smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing his uncle, who hadn't smiled in a long time, finally break into a smile, Rin Ichijo admired Yuuki somewhat; perhaps he really was that special person.

"We'll talk about the seal later; for now, it can hold out for a while longer."

Yuuki made a vow, and Kaoru Ichijo kept it in his heart, passing over the matter of the seal.

"You've come all this way to Tokyo, why don't you stay here for a few days before going back?"

"Although the old Metropolitan Police Department headquarters wasn't great, Tokyo as a whole was still very prosperous."

He inquired about Yu Xing and the others.

"No, now that this incident has been resolved, we may need to return to Zeya City as soon as possible."

"There are still many things that need my attention with the conglomerate."

Guihu was carrying a heavy responsibility. This was a spur-of-the-moment decision for him. He was afraid that something might happen in Helheim if he left the conglomerate for too long.

"It's about Helheim, huh? Then you need to go back as soon as possible. That thing is not simple at all."

Kaoru's tone made Takatora's eyes light up with understanding.

"It seems that Director Ichijo had anticipated the situation in Zeya City."

"Of course, otherwise why would you need proof to enter and leave Zeya City? Besides, Helheim is more dangerous than you think."

A stack of photos was taken out of a drawer by Kaoru Ichijo and placed in front of the group.

Looking at the footage captured above, Guihu grabbed it, somewhat incredulous.

"How could this be?!"

Yu Xing leaned closer and discovered that the photos were taken in different cities, and each photo featured figures from other places and the Rift.

"Heim seems to be different from a previous incident; its expansion speed and area far exceed our imagination."

“Our lockdowns have been completely ineffective in stopping the spread, so it is now appearing in major cities.”

“If it is allowed to continue to grow, I think it is something that can be foreseen very soon to see it erode the entire human world.”

The conglomerate just had a meeting, and what Kaoru Ichijo said was pretty much the same.

Guihu put the photo down and gave a bitter smile: "It was definitely a mistake for the conglomerate to start this project. They are heading towards madness."

"As expected, the World Tree Foundation has followed the same path as Foundation X, still harboring the ambition to research all the secrets of the world."

Kaoru glanced at the strange dolls, and quite a few of them were related to the X Foundation.

"But don't worry, just go ahead and do what you want to do. Not only me, but also Commander Matsukura will provide you with the necessary assistance."

Kaoru pointed at Rin: "Although I can't go too far from this building for some reason, Rin can help you."

"In addition, Matsukura seems to have a grandson who also works in Sawame City."

"You knew all along that this incident would happen in Zeya City, so why didn't you stop it beforehand?"

Yuuki deduced part of the meaning from Kaoru's words, and her brows furrowed.

"As you said before, it's cause and effect, or fate."

Kaoru Ichijo pointed to the sky: "Humans can never understand the gods."

There are some things that we can't do, not because we don't want to.

“If I intervene prematurely, you will never be able to get to me and finish this conversation.”

"Boom!!!"

No sooner had Kaoru Ichijo finished speaking than a bolt from the blue struck, causing everyone inside to turn and look outside.

"Unless you can truly reach that level, who can understand it?"

At least one path that Kaoru couldn't understand was using the Fate Slab to glimpse the future.

"Perhaps it is possible."

Unaffected by the sudden thunder outside, Yuuki took the apple seed out of her pocket and placed it in front of Kaoru Ichijo.

"According to research, this contains the power to blow up a planet. See if you can find a way to use it. If not, we'll just explode with so-called fate."

If the planet is gone, what's the point of talking about the fate of humanity?

Yuuki's dangerous remark made Takatora and Rin Ichijo wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

"Don't just take out something so dangerous!"

Guihu took the apple seed and grabbed Youxing by the neck, shaking her repeatedly.

"I know, I know!"

Yuuki broke free from Takatora's death grip: "This is the last resort, isn't it!"

"Don't worry, the world is terrible, but it's not about to be destroyed yet."
