I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

It seems that Gensou has found a source of these deformed infected individuals. While he was waiting, he saw a man walking in from outside, covered in blood and clearly having just experienced a brutal battle. This reminded Gensou of what Patriot had said: among the Ursus pickets he encountered, there seemed to be only one suspected survivor who had left the scene.

Subsequently, when the outsider entered the territory of the deformed infected, the infected did not attack, but watched him continue to walk deeper into the ice field. Yuanxiang in the sky followed him and slowly waited for his final destination.

Huh? It's gone?!

After following the outsider for about an hour, Gengo suddenly realized that the man had disappeared. But immediately, Gengo remembered the so-called 'barrier'. It seemed that there really was a Sacred Stone Seed here.

Hmm... I wonder if I'll run into that kid Fate this time?

At this moment, Yuanxiang couldn't help but think of the child he had seen last time, and he subconsciously muttered to himself, but he immediately smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

Ugh... Seriously, what am I thinking? I should just finish dealing with this first.

Thinking of this, Yuanxiang calmed his mind and slowly descended, recalling the location where the outsider disappeared, searching for a flaw to break through. But what he didn't expect was that this 'barrier' seemed a little different, as if it were just an illusion. Once he reached the location, he only needed to take a step forward and he would naturally enter it.

The moment he entered the barrier, Genji felt a surge of heat rushing from his heart to his head. The aura that had once appeared in the Reunion Warehouse was incredibly strong here. However, the barrier was filled with an atmosphere of killing and fanaticism. Under the influence of this atmosphere, people naturally became quite warlike. If Genji hadn't prepared himself mentally beforehand, he would definitely have been tempted to fight as well.

What kind of weird place is this...?

Because floating would cause air movement, Genji carefully walked through this space, which was filled with a crimson glow and was extremely dazzling. The walls around him were covered with translucent Originium stones that protruded like crystals. Inside the Originium stones, there was a strange flow of air, like water. The deeper he went, the more Genji found that the shapes of the Originium stones became more and more distorted. Sometimes, trying to pass through them without touching them posed an extremely high challenge to the flexibility of Genji's body.

"Huff...huff..."

After about three minutes in the depths, Yuanxiang heard a strange sound. He cautiously peered out and saw a lake that looked like it was made of boiling Originium liquid not far away. The outsider he had been tracking was standing at the edge of the lake and jumped into it without hesitation.

Immediately afterward, Yuanxiang saw the lake boil, with huge bubbles gushing out and bursting. The viscous liquid in the lake began to rise like the tide. After the lake receded, slime-like liquid clumps were left on the shore. As these clumps wriggled and twisted, deformed infected creatures emerged from them. Yuanxiang roughly estimated that this surge had created at least two hundred monsters.

Where exactly is this place...?

Yuanxiang felt as if he had entered a well-established arsenal, and this situation was beyond his expectations. After all, in the case of the Seed of the Sacred Stone that he had dealt with before, there was never such a strange situation. It couldn't be that the Seed of the Sacred Stone had mutated the entire anthill-like thing, could it? That was too frightening.

Let's explore deeper into the area.

Having avoided the newly formed, deformed infected, Yuanxiang cautiously avoided the lake. Looking at the bubbles, he always felt as if an eye was looking out when they burst. For the next ten minutes, Yuanxiang saw only those lakes, which made him wonder if he was going in circles.

But as he passed by

"Come on! Come on! Again!"

"Hmph hmph hmph... Hahahahaha!!!!"

"So good! So good!!"

"Push harder!!!"

As Yuanxiang ventured deeper into the cave, the sounds at the end of the passage became clearer, as if someone was engaged in a fierce battle. However, when Yuanxiang reached the cave entrance and looked out, the first thing he saw was a huge head.

The head had no skull; its worm-like brain was exposed, constantly flashing an eerie red light. The head's face consisted of only a pair of enormous eyes, which were quite horrifying. The surface of the eyeballs was actually pieced together from individual human brains, with viscous liquid dripping from time to time. Even Yuanxiang would find it disgusting to see.

Around the head were tumors resembling those in the lungs, constantly emitting a frenzied, warlike aura. Beneath the tumors were illusory tubes that led down into the lower part of the body.

Beneath this head was a huge pit, like the Roman Colosseum. Inside, Gengo saw four Kamen Riders fighting. Gengo recognized one of them as Kamen Rider Hibiki, whom Tsukasa Kadoya had once transformed into. The one fighting Kamen Rider Hibiki was a Kamen Rider with a bat-like face.

On the other side, a Kamen Rider with sharp horns and a sword was fighting with a green Kamen Rider with something resembling train tracks on his body. Judging from their voices, even their best efforts to be excited couldn't hide their exhaustion and weakness.

The tubes on the tumor were connected to the four Kamen Riders. Although it was unclear how this happened, there was no doubt that they were enslaved by this mysterious barrier master. The moment they stopped fighting was the moment their life force was drained.

At this moment, Kamen Rider Hibiki was knocked to the ground by a punch and his transformation was forcibly canceled. However, he struggled to his feet, transformed again with a cheerful tone but a pained expression, and continued to fight. This undoubtedly confirmed Gengo's conjecture.

Just bear with it a little longer, I'll get you out of here.

Gengo pursed his lips, staring at the giant head that was watching the four Kamen Riders, and began to gather his killing energy, intending to kill it with one blow.

But the moment Genji made this decision, the giant head reacted instantly. Although its eyes didn't move, Genji felt a burning gaze upon him. At the same time, the four Kamen Riders stopped fighting and followed the head's gaze, looking at Genji...

153 Soul Pollution

Oh wow.

Upon witnessing this scene, Genji's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he activated 'Accle'. At this moment, he was still in 'Cyclone' form, which was already agile and swift. With the added boost from the Acceleration Memory, his speed was so great that even the four knights couldn't see Genji's movements at all.

However, the strange head's reaction exceeded Gengo's expectations. Almost at the same moment, Gengo rushed in front of the head, and from the monster's eyes, Gengo felt an extremely chaotic mental shock strike his soul.

In an instant, Gensou felt everything around him distorting, as if he were in a lava pool. Strange, viscous corpses were rolling and cheering in the scorching liquid. An indescribable madness was spreading in his heart, and the thing called 'reason' was slowly leaving his soul.

What the hell is this thing?!

Just as his sanity was about to collapse, Gengo narrowly escaped from that terrible soul pollution. But when he woke up, he was in excruciating pain in his abdomen and chest. The one who had attacked him was none other than Gengo, who had just been unable to control himself.

The boy hurriedly took a few steps back, but he could still feel the strange head's gaze on him. Although he was on guard now, Yuanxiang was not going to fall into madness again, but the gaze ignored his armor and landed directly on his soul, burning it continuously. Yuanxiang knew very well that if he lingered for too long, he would automatically perish.

"ha!!!"

At that moment, the Kamen Rider with the single horn and sword swiped a card on the hilt and suddenly accelerated towards Gengo. At the same time, Kamen Rider Hibiki opened his mouth and spewed out purple, high-temperature flames to hinder Gengo's movements. The green Kamen Rider raised his crossbow-like weapon and silently aimed it at Gengo. If Gengo made any move, he would face his precise attack.

Oh my god!!

Gengo grabbed the sword-wielding Kamen Rider's wrist from the side, intending to throw him to the ground and seize his weapon. But the moment he touched him, the tube connecting the sword-wielding Kamen Rider suddenly expanded. In that instant, Gengo felt a piercing, burning pain surge into his palm, and an eerie aura whispered like a devil, tempting Gengo towards the abyss of madness.

In that split second, the sword-wielding knight spun his blade, avoiding Gengo's direct attack, and slashed upwards, striking the boy in the abdomen. A sharp pain shot through his reinforced skin, allowing Gengo to regain his senses. He kicked away the sword-wielding Kamen Rider who was trying to press his advantage, then punched him in a horse stance, repelling the Kamen Rider Hibiki who was wielding drumsticks. He then rolled away, avoiding the attack of the crossbow-wielding Kamen Rider and escaping this fierce onslaught.

But just then, Gengo heard the 'snap' of chains. The bat-like Kamen Rider silently emerged from the shadows, launching a surprise attack. The chains he threw were like a well-prepared spiderweb, binding Gengo tightly. He himself descended like a king in the moonlight, delivering a death sentence to his enemy. At the same time, the other Kamen Riders seized the opportunity, leaping high into the air towards the bound Gengo and launching flying kicks, aiming to take his life in one fell swoop!

"Everyone, I'm so sorry!"

Faced with such a terrifying killing move, Gensou let out a helpless low roar. Then, the two neck straps behind him were instantly filled with green fluorescence, and the soft neck straps now exuded an unstoppable aura.

Then, the neck strap swung up like a windmill, swirling wildly around Gengo. The four Kamen Riders that attacked were all hit, and the violent 'hurricane' immediately knocked them back and sent them flying, embedding them deeply into the surrounding walls.

Driven by the tubes, the Kamen Riders struggled to break free and continue fighting, but the wind hammers that followed mercilessly slammed into their heads. The four of them groaned in unison and then passed out, but their bodies were still moving.

However, without the Kamen Rider's subjective command, the fighting power that these Kamen Riders' bodies can exert is negligible, and Gengo can completely avoid them.

but……

What exactly is this feeling?

Gengo was well aware of his situation. Although the soul corruption from that strange head was indeed powerful, Gengo felt that he should not be defeated so easily. The two moments of distraction he had just experienced were far too easy to exploit. This made Gengo frown. He firmly believed that there were still undiscovered secrets hidden in the strange head's attack methods.

"Trigger!"

Gengo switched forms, took out his Magnum, switched to single-fire mode, and pulled the trigger at the strange head. However, after the bullet flew out, Gengo was shocked to find that the trajectory of the attack was far off from the strange head, even though Gengo had been absolutely certain that he had not misaimed.

Gengo silently switched the Magnum to spray mode and pulled the trigger at the enemy, but the result was the same as before. Gengo was certain that he had not fallen into an illusion.

So... what exactly happened?

The burning of his soul continued. In those few short minutes, Yuanxiang felt a slight weakness and numbness from the bottom of his heart. Whatever he wanted to do, he had to make a decision.

"Joker!"

With a solemn expression, Gengo switched to his most reliable comrade and once again confronted the strange head. Whether for the sake of the Kamen Riders or to prevent the Reunion Movement from being attacked by the deformed infected, he had to eliminate this strange head. Therefore, he chose the most direct way: to experience that bizarre soul attack with his own body!

Just as Gengo approached, a slit appeared in the center of each brain on the strange head's eyeballs, and scarlet eyes stared at the approaching Kamen Rider "Joker" from the gaping mouth, like fish lips.

Almost at the same moment, Yuanxiang felt that everything in front of him had lost its shape, and only bizarre patches of light jumped and spun in front of him. He heard indescribable shrieks echoing in his ears, and grating, sinister laughter came from all directions.

But Yuanxiang did not succumb to despair. A glimmer of inspiration, like a small boat in a raging storm, swayed precariously but did not fall. He struggled to find a way out of this madness. If he found nothing, no matter how fierce his attack, it would be in vain.

This arduous perseverance finally paid off. Although he was on the verge of madness when he finally got the answer, Genji gained some breathing room by slightly "blanking out," freeing himself from the terrifying soul pollution and distancing himself from the strange head. Then, he silently looked at his hands with an extremely serious expression, because he never imagined that in this battle, his greatest enemy would be himself.

154 Let's go together, Grandpa!

"Joker" can enhance his abilities by observing the user's emotional changes. It is precisely because of this special ability that Genji, like the protagonist in this shonen manga, has repeatedly overcome powerful enemies from danger and survived to this day.

But now, 'emotional changes' have become the biggest obstacle preventing Gensou from defeating this strange head. Just now, he was wondering why, in terms of his own will, he was so easily corrupted by the strange head's soul.

But now he has the answer. This strange head, like the aura it exudes, has the ability to induce 'emotions'. Moreover, as the source of the aura, it is particularly adept at manipulating 'emotions', even able to bypass its own perception and control itself.

The bullet that just went astray, the indescribable hallucinations, and the 'power' that is currently burning his soul all originate from Gengo's own 'emotions'. This is also why 'Joker' attracts more insane hallucinations than 'Cyclone'.

To be honest, Gengo was also incredulous when he realized this, but he quickly calmed down. After all, there had been many Memory Monsters who had used their abilities in amazing ways before.

However, despite remaining calm, the problem persisted, and no solution could be found. This was different from the situation with Sonozaki Ryubei, who could use 'courage' and 'fearlessness' to fight 'fear,' but could not use the same method to deal with this big head.

Gensato also had methods to calm himself down and put aside distracting thoughts. Rather, it's more accurate to say that when using the 'Trggier' sniper rifle, his body instinctively entered that state, but the result was already evident.

Emotional fluctuations are as instinctive as eating and drinking. You can endure hunger, but before you smell the aroma of food, your body will still crave to eat. Emotions, which are far more sensitive than this desire, are like a city wall riddled with holes in front of this monster. At this moment, Yuanxiang understood why the four knights were controlled by this strange head. Any living being would find it extremely difficult to deal with it.

Wait, living beings?

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Gengo. He took out the pale memory from his pocket. The skeletal letter markings exuded the deathly stillness of the deceased. This was the 'Skull' memory, which was also a relic of Gengo Shokichi. Although Gengo also had the T2 'Skull' given to him by Daido Katsumi in his pocket, he still took out this memory.

Well, for no particular reason, Genji felt that the enemies he would face in the future might become increasingly troublesome and powerful. The pressure on 'Skull,' which was not very compatible with him, would also increase dramatically, and it might even overload and break down. Therefore, he would definitely choose the T2 'Skull' for combat in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that, even though the current situation is not optimistic, the young man still harbors some selfish thoughts. He often dreams of the laughter that once filled the office, and he often recalls the scene of his grandfather's illness and death. When he sits alone in the lobby late at night, his longing and sorrow are like a poison that pierces his bones, causing him excruciating pain.

So, he took the opportunity to bring out the T1 'Skull'. He wanted to fight alongside his grandfather once again to commemorate the beautiful past, even though all he had was this memory.

After this battle, the remembrance of the deceased should end here, because 'Kamen Rider' has already expressed 'Gengo's' grief, and 'Gengo' should no longer create weaknesses for 'Kamen Rider' with his own wavering.

so.....

"Grandpa, it's time to go on!"

Gensou took out 'Joker', revealing his true form. Looking at the pale memory, he smiled slightly, as if a kind old man with white hair was standing beside him. The boy took off his hat and at the same time put 'Skull' into the slot.

With a push of his right hand, the sound effect of 'Skull' rang out, debris adhered, and the Kamen Rider with a skull appeared in the dark red barrier. The white scarf fluttered slightly in the aftershocks of the transformation, and a lightning-like scar, sparking slightly, was etched from the top of the rider's head to the center of his brow. Then, Gengo slowly put his hat back on his head.

Is this so-called transformation... just temporary death?

Yuanxiang looked at his hands; this was his

"Grandpa, this is truly a novel experience."

"Skull! Maximum Drive!"

Gengo whispered as he pounded his special attack gauge, creating a skull-shaped energy orb from his chest. He then used a jump kick to send the energy orb hurtling towards the strange head. Using the recoil from the energy burst, Gengo landed on the wall and, with the strength of his body enhanced by 'Skull,' ran upwards, reaching the height he desired in just two breaths. Then, he gathered purple energy in his right foot and unleashed a flying kick at the strange head.

"Taku!!!"

Although the skull energy and the Rider Kick were launched one after the other, the interval between them was not much different. The strange head controlled the bodies of the four Kamen Riders to launch a ranged attack, trying to offset the energy ball that came first. However, it was too late to control the four to intercept Gensou. Therefore, out of the instinct for survival, the strange head released almost tangible soul pollution.

But... the already 'dead' Gengo calmly ignored its attack. The fatal 'RiderKick' landed squarely on its forehead, then rushed into its brain, piercing through it. At that moment, a waterfall of blood gushed out from the grotesque head, and the roar echoing in its soul caused the four Kamen Riders who had slowly awakened after breaking free of the tubes to faint again.

Meanwhile, Gengo silently pulled out the Skull Magnum, pressed down on his hat with one hand, and suddenly raised it to his side. At the same time, a bloody shadow rushed out from the strange head and attacked Kamen Rider 'Skull'. This was the source of the strange head's control over the four Kamen Riders' relentless battle day and night. That head absorbed the Kamen Riders' 'emotions' to create their evolved bodies.

However, because of Gengo, this evolved form had to emerge from its cocoon prematurely before it was fully completed. When it pounced on Gengo, intending to use the soul of this Kamen Rider to make up for its own deficiencies, it was as if it had willingly delivered itself to the muzzle of a gun. The cold skull Magnum gun was raised and pressed against its head.

Then, Gensou pulled the trigger, pressed it against the evolved creature's head, and fired shot after shot, smashing the monster's skull to pieces in a cathartic display. Then, the energy of 'Skull' condensed again, and with all its might, it annihilated the evolved creature and the remaining remains of the strange head into ashes, eliminating any possibility of the monster's resurrection.

At this moment, Yuanxiang saw the dark red, eerie barrier begin to shatter, and the deformed infected who had just left the place turned into clumps of viscous liquid that lay sprawled on the ground. As the cold wind blew, the liquid solidified into pieces of amber-like stone, which then shattered and dissipated.

"call......"
