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

"Wait, I'm not here to fight you!"

But then, the strange man in front of them suddenly spoke.

Yu Xing looked constipated, and gritted her teeth to force the transformation back into place.

"Then why are you blocking our way?"

Chapter 52 The Greedy One

Yuuki's question made the strange man in the shadows scratch his face: "Actually, I just came to see what happened here."

"Heim has not been this lively in a long time."

It turned out that this person was just there to watch a show, and Yu Xing almost couldn't catch her breath.

"It's just that you guys want to stop; it has nothing to do with me."

Upon seeing Yuuki in this state, the strange man declared himself innocent.

"Why waste time talking to him? Let's go."

With Libra chasing after them, Guihu had no time for idle chatter; if they continued chatting any longer, they would be finished here.

"Don't rush, you're being chased by that Libra guy, right?"

"So you're the ones they've been talking about replacing recently. Hmph, I think the human world is already riddled with holes."

The strange man had a hint of schadenfreude.

Yu-Hsing and the others ignored him and turned to continue their frantic run toward the conglomerate's headquarters.

Having finally spotted people, and seeing them about to leave, the strange man in the shadows grew impatient. He quickly stepped out of the shadows, and a few coins rolled to Yuxing's side.

"How about I help you get rid of that Libra guy?"

Kazali sighed as his identity shifted from being a spectator to being involved in the drama.

"And I have some information about them here, do you want to hear it?"

Yuuki and the others stopped and turned to look at the strange man who claimed to be helping them.

"He was a greedy person who was once destroyed by Oz."

Rin Ichijo acted as an encyclopedia, introducing Yuuki and the others.

"Being wiped out? That sounds a bit strange. But let's put the self-introduction aside for now, the pursuers are on their way."

Kazali pointed to the dense forest, and Libra responded by emerging from within.

"It's been so hard to find!"

Having finally caught up with Yuuki and her group, Libra snorted coldly and immediately prepared to make his move.

"Hey, you're really not taking me seriously, are you?"

Kazali leaped in front of Libra and grabbed his hand.

“These people are under my protection now, get back to where you came from.”

Kazali's tone was unfriendly, and Libra sneered, "So it's Kazali. You haven't collected many coins, and you dare to talk to me like that?!"

If it were the fully-fledged Kazali, Libra would naturally give way, but the current Kazali, Libra could tell at a glance that he had only been resurrected not long ago!

"Suit yourself, but I didn't come alone."

As a cold smile appeared on Kazali's lips, Libra keenly sensed three gazes cast from within the dense forest.

Apart from one greedy person who was with Oz, the rest of them were here!

"If you want to fight, we'll fight to the bitter end."

With his companions by his side, Kazali is not afraid of Libra at all.

"Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Alliance for doing this?"

Libra looked at Yuuki and the others who were eavesdropping silently, his face showing displeasure.

"What kind of bullshit alliance is this? Do you even believe it yourselves? It's all backstabbing and infighting!"

"Besides, we greedy people only want to collect all the coins, we can't be bothered with your nonsense."

Libra broke free from Kazali's grasp, snorted coldly, and took a few steps back.

"Then you'll regret it."

He didn't linger; he vanished in a flash.

A crisis was thus easily resolved, and Yu Xing looked at Kazali, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm helping you purely out of interest; it has nothing to do with anything else."

Kazali tossed his hair, looking somewhat narcissistic.

"Thank you."

Although the other party was an oddball, Yuuki didn't hesitate to express his gratitude after helping them.

"As expected, it's human thanks that make me feel good."

Kazali laughed heartily, looking quite pleased.

What was the news you mentioned about them before?

Taking advantage of the greedy person's good mood, Rin Ichijo quickly asked a question, to which Kazali casually replied:

"The remaining guys formed some kind of alliance here. They fight against the assimilation of Helheim while also exploring this forest."

"At the same time, they also want to return to the human world and want to conquer the world."

"Their first step is to use their special abilities to gradually replace the top leaders of humanity, causing you to collapse without a fight."

That's why Wu Dao Guihu is in danger today. If it weren't for Libra wanting to play tricks on them for a while, they wouldn't have had a chance to escape at all.

"You're really lucky."

Having figured this out, Guihu suddenly sighed.

Being with Yuuki always allowed him to glimpse a sliver of luck amidst misfortune.

"Their plan has been going on for some time now, probably starting after the recent tremors in Helheim."

"They even kept talking incoherently about how the 'Time of Demons' is about to arrive."

Kazali never believed in these things, and he didn't take them too seriously.

However, the information revealed by Kazali caused the three members of Yuxing to exchange glances, and a hint of worry appeared in their eyes.

The tremors of the past few days probably corresponded precisely to the day when Yuxing converted to apple seeding.

In other words, Pandora's box was opened after Yuuki put on the belt.

With the sudden invasion of foreigners, Yuuki now finds it hard not to suspect that the whole incident is a conspiracy.

Only by causing turmoil within the World Tree Foundation can this alliance of oddballs have a chance to infiltrate its ranks.

Then, they encountered the Grongi who suddenly appeared, and after various investigations, the contradictions pointed to Helheim.

Once they arrive here, they will likely encounter Librans as a matter of course, and then all of them will be killed and replaced.

Yu Xing felt a chill run down his spine. If it really was as he thought, then the Monster Alliance must have a mastermind behind it.

"No wonder I was wondering why the conglomerate had been acting so strangely lately... This is really troublesome."

Although Guihu didn't think as much as Yuyuki, he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

It would be very difficult to conduct an investigation within the conglomerate.

Seeing that he had single-handedly made things difficult for the three leaders, Kazali chuckled and said, "You can keep worrying about your own problems."

He waved his hand, preparing to retreat, but was hit in the face by a flying wave of water. The wet water made Kazali wipe his face haphazardly, which also reminded him of something he had forgotten.

"Oh, right, there's one more very important thing."

His hand sank into his body, took out several coins of different colors, and threw them at Yuuki without hesitation.

Yuuki easily caught it with her hand and looked at the coin in her palm that was emitting a soft, flowing light.

There are two each of blue, yellow, green, and black.

"Give these coins to someone named Hino Eiji. After all, I saved you, so it's not unreasonable for me to make a small request, is it?"

Kazali rubbed his fingers together.

"It's Kamen Rider Oars, who is said to be traveling all over the world, especially to various battlefields, and trying to quell the wars there."

With Rin's humanoid illustration in hand, Yuuki quickly learned about Hino Eiji.

"If I could meet him, I would give all of this to him."

Yu Xing nodded to Kazali, who chuckled and said, "We can sense him. He should be in the Zeya City area right now."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the dense forest, waving to the group: "Goodbye then."

"I hope that next time we meet, you won't be in such a weak and helpless state. This won't do."

Watching Kazali sink into the dense forest and disappear, Yu Xing clenched the coin in his hand. They were indeed too weak right now.

"Train hard when you get back."

Guihu patted Youxing on the shoulder, and Youxing sighed: "We'll start training when we get back, otherwise it'll be too damn frustrating to be chased and beaten up."

After such a harrowing experience, and following a brief discussion, the group decided not to linger in Helheim and hurriedly returned to the World Tree Foundation.

Upon arriving at the training room inside the conglomerate, Yuuki resolved to significantly improve his combat abilities.

Chapter 53 A New Game Beyond Time and Space?

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Zeya City has entered a rare period of calm.

Of the three, Takatoro Gojima no longer ventured deep into Helheim, but instead secretly began investigating the Yggdrasil Foundation.

Rin Ichijo, stationed in the investigation department, relentlessly monitors the anomalies in Sawame City.

Yuuki also realized his shortcomings, and apart from accompanying Manatsu, he used the resources of the World Tree to frantically improve himself.
