Okay, let's not delay any longer.
Yuanxiang patted his cheeks, clenched his fists, and cheered himself up.
Our predecessors are still fighting the enemy, so let's go in and take a look. If we can find a way to help them, then we can rest in peace...
and many more!
Just as Gensou was about to step through the 'door', he suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand out of thin air, and waited for less than a second. A dark book rushed out of the 'ocean' with a whoosh, stopped abruptly when it was still a meter away from Gensou, slowed down, and slowly floated into Motoka's hand. Looking at the title 'Joker' on the book, the boy also gave a knowing smile.
But then, a shrill whistle rang out, and a green book was slapped unceremoniously onto Gengo's face, as if it were angry, angry that it hadn't called out to him. Looking at the word 'Cyclone' printed on it, Gengo scratched his cheek and smiled sheepishly, honestly admitting that he hadn't really thought of that... Hmm?
Suddenly, Gensou sensed something and looked up into the library. The silvery-white 'Metal' and the azure-blue 'Trigger' broke free from the 'ocean' and flew in front of him. There was also the restless 'Fang', which, even in the form of a book, bounced and landed on his head.
Hmph, with you guys around, I'd dare to brave even mountains of knives and seas of fire.
Yuanxiang smiled gently, cradling the books to his chest, and fearlessly stepped inside. His slender figure gradually disappeared into the white world behind the door...
Meanwhile, Fengdu (a city known for its wind and rain).
"Sister, this...this is a dream, right? It's such a...scary dream..."
Looking at the lifeless boy lying on the ground, Shinobu Kocho seemed to have all her strength drained away. She leaned limply against Kanae Kocho, whispering with tears streaming down her face, completely unaware that the light in the eyes of the person she was leaning on had also disappeared.
Caesar held Joseph back tightly, who was trying to pass on the Ripple, and said in a sorrowful whisper:
"Joseph, stop! This child... he's already..."
"Damn it!! Damn it!!!"
Joseph knew this, of course, but after his friend told him, he could no longer deceive himself. He could only pound the ground in impotent rage, letting his hands bleed profusely. Yagami Hayate, standing to the side, reached out to touch the already cold Gensou, but because she couldn't move her legs, she almost fell to the ground because of this action.
Fortunately, Wendy caught her in time, and the Wind God's languid expression vanished. He picked up the child and had Hayate Yagami come to Gengo's side. Watching the child hold Gengo's hand and place it on his face, he wailed and rubbed it repeatedly, as if trying to transfer his warmth to the child. But before he could warm the boy's hand, the child fainted from excessive grief.
Wendy hurriedly checked on Hayate Yagami's condition. After confirming that there was no problem, she put him back in his wheelchair. The bard then exhaled with a trembling breath and gently plucked the bowstring, as if plucking a harp, and sang Mondstadt's longest melody, hoping that these wind-like notes would lead his friend to a peaceful resting place.
On the other side, Hoshiguma held onto Chen Huijie, who was about to fight the Book of Darkness to the death. Looking at her friend's helpless eyes, she whispered:
"Let's take a few more glances; we don't have many more chances..."
These words instantly froze the dragon girl in place. Yes, she wanted to look at him a few more times, because later... she would only be able to see him again in photographs...
"Our hometown, it is our pride to fight alongside you."
The Showa Riders deactivated their transformations and watched in silence as Hongo Takeshi gently cradled Gengo in his arms, delicately wiping the dust from the child's face with his fingertips, and whispering in the gentlest of tones.
Then, Hongo reached out to close the boy's angry, wide-open eyes, but as his hand moved down, the boy's eyes did not close. His lifeless eyes seemed to still be staring resentfully at something. After several unsuccessful attempts, Hongo lowered his head and choked back tears, saying:
"You stubborn child... I know, just you wait and see, Rider! Henshin!!"
'Call' X8
In an instant, the eight warriors, tears streaming down their faces, transformed into Kamen Riders. Their murderous aura surged towards the rampaging electronic tentacles. Swearing in the name of Kamen Rider, they would defeat it and protect the city that the boy loved so dearly!
Meanwhile, Barbara, unable to control her emotions, covered her mouth and wept bitterly. Beside the young priestess, Fate, slowly waking up, stared at the corpse, her face ashen. The warmth from where she had been stroked on her head seemed still there, but she could no longer feel that sensation. Because that person... because she was dead. It was me... who killed him...
Why? I'm the enemy! Why? What do I have that makes you want to risk your life for me? You're such an idiot... such a big idiot! How could someone as stupid as you exist?!
Fate wiped away her tears, her hands trembling as she reached out, draining magic from her withered body and summoning her magical artifact. She didn't know what she was thinking, but... but... at least, she wanted this fool to rest in peace. This time... she wouldn't listen to her mother...
Suddenly, the Gaia Memory 'Cyclone' and 'Joker' emitted a dazzling light. Under the illumination, the boy's body transformed into countless light particles, piecing together a doorway. A dreamlike halo emanated from it, and amidst the light and shadow, a familiar figure slowly stepped out. The person adjusted their hat, looked at everyone, and said apologetically:
"Ahem, well, it seems I've been given another second chance at life."
175 Cyclone·Joker GoldXtreme
Beyond the world, the train conductor watched the enormous dark gold gear that had emerged, clicking and turning in space. However, he could sense that time near the gear did not flow as a result, like a stagnant pool with no future in sight.
"Stationmaster, look at this..."
The train conductor turned to look to the side, where stood an elderly man dressed in white, but who looked exactly like him. The stationmaster, gazing at the gears that seemed to be composed entirely of 'time,' said solemnly:
"You guessed right, it is indeed a curse. A powerful time-manipulator has cursed this world, no, it is cursed on that boy named 'Gengo.' He has severed his future, and the boy's 'time' will be interrupted on his eighteenth birthday."
The train commander's expression trembled slightly, because if we were to use the analogy of 'cause and effect,' then the 'effect' of Gensou's death was already predetermined. No matter what power he possessed, no matter which world or timeline he escaped to, he only had eighteen years of 'time.' Once 'time' was up, his body and soul would inevitably die.
Time, flowing ceaselessly, is so merciless, showing absolutely no human compassion.
"However... there's something wrong with this gear. Look over there."
The stationmaster pointed his cane at the back of the gear. Although there were no flaws on the surface, the two people who controlled the Time Train could clearly see that there was a problem with the 'time loop' there. It was because of this defect that the timeline that should have ended restarted, and the boy who should have died was trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation.
"It doesn't feel like the vitality that the spellcaster intentionally left behind."
The train conductor frowned slightly, and said hesitantly, "The stationmaster nodded, traced the flow of time energy on the gears in the air with his cane, closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying:"
"Ah, rather than a deliberate flaw, it's more accurate to say that the curse was never completed. It seems the caster encountered an extremely powerful enemy. Look at these traces, how rough they are, like homework rushed out on the last day of summer vacation. I think the caster must be dead, and if he had been even a moment slower, the curse might not have been cast at all."
"That's terrifying."
The commander couldn't help but mutter, "To be able to force a time-manipulator to the point of having no time left, how absurd that sounds."
"However, the spellcaster's goal was indirectly achieved."
At this moment, the stationmaster suddenly spoke, gazing at the planet outside the train window, his eyes seemingly gleaming with a sharp light. After observing for a moment, he said softly:
"The timeline of this planet has been restarted too many times and has reached the limit of collapse. Next time? Or the time after that? Everything on this planet will disappear due to the collapse of the timeline... What a vicious curse."
"The stationmaster... um!!"
Upon hearing this, the commander raised an eyebrow, as if to say something, but suddenly the sirens blared inside the vehicle, which meant that the terrifying enemy had approached their trap and the decisive battle was about to begin!
"Let's focus on surviving first."
The stationmaster slammed his cane on the floor and said in a cold tone:
"Even if we lose everything, we can't let that woman disrupt our schedule. It's our duty. Let's go, let's get to the front."
After saying that, the carriage outside the world disappeared, and what had just appeared here was just a projection of the train conductor and the stationmaster.
On the other side, before the radiant gates, the returning Gensou, seeing the tear-streaked faces of the crowd around him, coughed lightly and explained:
"Don't misunderstand, I... I really didn't know I could be brought back to life in this way. I'm not trying to make you cry."
"You idiot...who cares about that?!"
Joseph turned his head to the side, as if embarrassed that Genji would see him crying, and while wiping away his tears, he grumbled irritably:
"If crying could bring you back, next time I'll hire a whole square of people to cry for you... It's so good that you're back."
"Whew~~ My dear friend, welcome back~~~"
Wendy smiled and gently touched the back of Hayate Yagami's neck while he was unconscious. The flowing wind power gently roused the child from his coma. Then, he rushed towards Genjiro in a singing-like melody, cheerfully saying:
"At a time like this, we absolutely have to have a few drinks... right?"
Wendy wasn't caught by Genji. The boy placed a finger on the bard's forehead, causing him to slowly fall to the ground. At the same time, the group who wanted to rush over to get a good look at Genji felt a gentle breeze stop them. Even Takeshi Hongo and the others couldn't get close to Genji. Instantly, a bad thought arose in everyone's mind.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you guys making those faces?"
Seeing their expressions, Yuanxiang knew exactly what they were thinking. He took Wendy's hand, let him tug at his face, and said helplessly:
"Don't overthink it. I'm genuinely healthy. Don't always think I'm just putting on a brave face. I'm not that tough."
“..........”Xn
Everyone decisively ignored the latter half of the boy's words and turned to look at Wendy. The bard nodded, gave everyone a thumbs up, and his teeth, shining brightly in the sunlight, praised him, saying:
"It feels very soft and smooth."
“..........”Xn
No one spoke, but they all simultaneously lowered the weapons in their hands. Seeing this, Wendy hurriedly waved her hands and said in a panic:
"No problem, no problem. That was just a little joke by a bard."
"Whatever you have to say, let's talk about it later."
At this moment, Gensou interrupted the conversation, looking at the constantly waving electronic tentacles and the 'black hole' beginning to spread into the sky, and said softly:
"Let's deal with the Book of Darkness first; time... is running out."
"Hmm, at this rate... Nachtwal will go berserk in about a minute."
Upon waking, Hayate Yagami calmed himself down and promptly replied:
We need to stop it right away.
"Got it, brothers, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Hongo waved his hand, and the Showa Knights charged toward Nachtwal's location with murderous intent. However, before they could run more than ten meters, they were stopped by Hongo again.
"Township?"
"It's not time for the seniors to make their appearance yet."
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the Showa Knights, Gengo spoke in a low voice, simultaneously flashing his left hand at his waist. A torrent of data formed a dual-drive at his waist, and as he placed two memory modules into it, he continued, "..."
"I'll deal with this guy. I have a feeling... I might not lose to it now."
'Cyclone·Joker'
Amidst exhilarating sound effects, the half-green, half-black Kamen Rider appeared before everyone. However, Gengo's transformation was not yet over. He suddenly closed the Dual Driver, and at the same time, two data beams shot into the sky from the 'Cyclone' and 'Joker' memories. Then, Gengo reached out and grasped at the air, and the bird-shaped 'Xtreme' memory was materialized by data. Guided by the two data beams, it fell from the sky and landed on the Dual Driver, sliding open to both sides. As a result, the silver dividing strip in the middle of the Kamen Rider's body emitted a rainbow of light.
"Xtreme!"
Gengo gripped the divider with both hands, roaring as he pulled with all his might to both sides. At the same time, large and small circular data streams wrapped around the boy's body, spinning rapidly. Finally, with a dazzling flash of seven-colored light, the mark of 'X' appeared in front of the Dual Driver. The black and green colors also receded to both sides of the Kamen Rider's body, leaving the crystal-like silver area in the middle.
The Kamen Rider's shoulder armor also became slightly larger, with vertical, symmetrical 'W' patterns printed on it. The rider's helmet also changed; the original 'W' horns disappeared, replaced by an 'X' protrusion that occupied the entire face, longer at the top and shorter at the bottom. The neck scarf behind him also disappeared.
But this was still not the end. As the 'Xtreme' memory exerted its power, the wind... no, it seemed as if the wind from all over the world was surging towards the source. The surging energy and data merged into the silver Crystalserver in the center of the Kamen Rider, turning it into gold. At the same time, three pairs of wings that looked like dragonfly wings unfolded behind the Kamen Rider, and the translucent wings also had these golden patterns.
"Cyclone Joker Gold Xtreme?"
After the transformation ended, Gengo looked down at himself. Compared to when he used 'Xtreme' before, this was a completely different experience. Not only was there no danger of losing his memory, but he also didn't have to worry about his body being unable to withstand the burden brought about by 'Xtreme' transformation. In fact, Gengo felt that the more he used this form, the stronger his compatibility with it would be, so that he could unleash even greater power.
I'll make a note of this. If I have the chance again, I'll talk to Shotaro-senpai and ask him what his and Philip-senpai's 'Xtreme' is like, and if he can use it as a reference for my situation.
After memorizing this, Genji snapped his fingers, picked up the Moon Emperor Stone that had fallen to the ground due to his body's disintegration, and tossed it into Hayate Yagami's hands, saying softly:
"Controlled Personality, you're still conscious, right? Absorb the energy inside and recover as much as possible. You'll have to put in a lot of effort next, senior. Please keep an eye on things for me. I'll be right back."
After saying that, Genji flapped his wings, and the Kamen Rider shot out like an arrow, arriving above Nachtwal in the next second. At the same time, even the Showa Riders didn't see what happened before the wildly dancing electronic tentacles were snapped in half.
"#¥@!!!!"
An indescribable noise then emanated from the black hole in the sea, and in an instant, countless magic circles appeared around Nachtwal, threatening to blast the source town into pieces!
