'Cyclone·Joker'

197 Nightmare

"That's outrageous."

The enemy looked at the boy who had transformed into Kamen Rider 'Cyclone Joker' and couldn't help but click his tongue. He casually took off the bracelet on his left wrist and threw it aside. The guys in the technical department had confidently said that after the 'Dream World' was deployed, this thing would definitely prevent the Gaia Memory from taking effect, but now? Not only had the Kamen Rider transformed, but the thing on his wrist had also been overloaded by the other party.

Well, there's nothing to complain about. After all, they're all Kamen Riders capable of shattering the sky, so it's normal for accidents to happen.

"Sacrifice, count your sins!"

Yuanxiang roared and soared into the wind, heading straight for the top of the Wind Tower. In the blink of an eye, the distance between them was less than a hundred meters. At this distance, the mere wind pressure caused the enemy's body to show signs of collapse. The enemy's fragility far exceeded the boy's expectations.

But just as Gengo reached the top of Fuuto Tower, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from beneath Kamen Rider's armor. Viper-like gray-white flames surged from beneath his shattered, reinforced skin, bringing Gengo's charge to an abrupt halt. In the ensuing explosion, he fell from Fuuto Tower.

"It's no use, Kamen Rider, you're checkmated!"

The enemy calmly moved forward two steps, looked at the Kamen Rider being burned by flames, and said with pleasure:

"How's it going? This burning hatred is quite intense, isn't it? Hey, don't look at me like that, it's scary!"

Sensing the increasingly surging killing intent emanating from Gensou, the enemy feigned fear, hugged himself, stuck out his tongue, and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Yeah, right. But you really shouldn't hate me."

Just as the enemy was speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept in from beneath the Wind Tower, whipping up a sandstorm that obscured everyone's vision. But even in the face of this deadly whirlwind, the enemy calmly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately, countless human faces appeared in the center of his chest, which was composed of flames and lightning.

At the same time, the 'Cyclone' half hidden in the whirlwind suddenly lost control. No, to be precise, it was the marks that took effect, unleashing unimaginable power that stopped its own movement and forcefully ejected the 'Cyclone' half from the whirlwind. At this moment, the bone-burning gray-white flames became even more intense, causing Yuanxiang's eyes to glaze over.

What kind of ability is this?!

Realizing that the enemy before him was quite formidable, Gengo calmed himself down slightly and punched his chest, awakening the power of 'Blank Transformation'. He was about to actively enter the form of 'Cyclone·JokerGoldXtreme' to fight against the current situation.

"Hmph, your actions were entirely within our expectations!"

When the unusual data erupted from Gengo's body, the enemy immediately knew his intentions. Pointing at the Kamen Rider's chest, the same lightning as that on the enemy instantly burst forth in Gengo's heart. The heartache that had never stopped suddenly intensified hundreds of times, immediately triggering the body's self-protection mechanism. The body wanted to make Gengo faint to avoid suffering greater pain, but his extraordinary willpower immediately took over the body's control, successfully activating 'Blankness'.

"What a monster."

The enemy clicked his tongue. In the simulation experiment, Foundation X had set Kamen Rider Joker's various abilities to the most exaggerated direction. However, experiments require logic, while reality does not. Although Kamen Rider did not gain the upper hand in the previous battle, his performance far exceeded the simulation panel set by headquarters. The fact that he is still alive is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the headquarters' research department.

However, this is my world, and you can forget about connecting to the Earth Library and gaining the power of the Earth!

In the enemy's sight, he clearly saw the 'Gaia data' emanating from Yuanxiang flying into the sky. Therefore, without hesitation, he waved his hand, and thunder suddenly roared in the dim sky. The terrifying thunderstorm became the most solid firewall guarding this world.

Seeing the 'Gaia Data' completely obliterated by lightning, the enemy finally breathed a sigh of relief. This Kamen Rider was already troublesome enough; if he were to gain external power, he would undoubtedly become even more difficult to deal with...

Huh?! What?!

Suddenly, the enemy noticed something amiss and looked up at the sky in disbelief. The sky was filled with lightning, but that was the result of the impact of two forces. Although this 'Dream World' could be said to be the product of all the resources of the X Foundation, it was still somewhat immature compared to the real Earth.

Therefore, in that instant, holy light broke through the cover of thunderclouds and enveloped the source village. Immediately afterwards, seven-colored light emanated from the pillar of light, and rays of light shot out in all directions, scanning the composition of this strange world.

But the enemy was not without preparations. The lightning on his body began to stir, and at the same time, the gray energy clusters that spread throughout the world began to twist irregularly, like a deformed heart beating incessantly. Transparent shockwaves spread across the globe. This power from the life forms of Earth wove a giant net, eroding into the depths of the Earth without any blind spots, attempting to completely replace the real Earth with the 'Dream World'.

As this action was initiated, the enemy instantly felt the pressure from the outside world decrease dramatically. He shouted and closed the gap in the sky, returning this dream world to its sealed state. But at this moment, the Kamen Rider 'Cyclone Joker' under the tower had changed. He held the Prism Radiance in his hand, but the Crystal Server on his chest was not gold, but crystal-like, and he did not have the three pairs of dragonfly wings on his back.

"Cyclone Joker Xtreme?"

Gengo felt the power flowing through his body. After using 'Cyclone Joker GoldXtreme', he could control the abilities in this weakened form very well, so he didn't need to spend time adapting. Just now, he also successfully found the information he urgently needed through scanning.

"It seems I was a bit too slow."

After sensing Genji's fighting spirit, the enemy said in a low, serious voice, "The current situation is showing signs of getting out of control. However, this cannot be blamed on the subordinates who made the contingency plan. Who could have imagined that Earth would actually respond to the Kamen Rider in front of us? This situation... even if Sonozaki Ryubei had completed his 'Gaia Impact' plan, this situation would not have occurred. Kamen Rider Joker... the Sonozaki family has truly created a monster."

"I am truly honored to be targeted by Consortium X like this, but your plan is doomed to fail, Nightmare."

Gensou looked at the enemy on the top of the tower and coldly shouted his name. He was a creation of the X Foundation, and his code name was his name. His ability was also self-explanatory: to manipulate dreams, absorb evil thoughts, and materialize them. Moreover, with the full support of the X Foundation, this ability had been greatly developed and strengthened. Now he was indeed the master of this dream world.

"Die."

Nightmare made no attempt to respond to Gengo. With a flick of his finger, the marks all over Gengo's body became scorching hot once more. After the 'Nightmare Energy Cluster' was fully activated globally, his power was amplified. Therefore, even though Gengo used 'Xtreme', he showed no fear whatsoever.

However, to Nightmare's surprise, just as he was about to awaken those nightmare marks, Genji suddenly drew the Prism Holy Sword, its blade instantly enveloped in a dark light. He then pierced his own heart, and with a roar from the Kamen Rider, a dark power suddenly erupted within his body. In that instant, all the marks attached to the boy were dispelled, and Nightmare groaned as thick, honey-like grayish-white blood dripped from his nostrils.

"spread,

Gengo took a deep breath, pulled the holy sword from his chest, and coldly looked at Nightmare, who was beginning to gather evil thoughts at the top of the tower. As a former virus data body and Gaia data body, Gengo was very clear about his own condition. Although he had a human appearance, the so-called fatal weakness no longer existed. If you wanted to kill him, you could only completely destroy your own existence.

Just like a game character, as long as the health bar isn't empty, you can move around freely. However, it's important to note that in this dream world, casting spells consumes health points, not mana.

This is why Nightmare has been obsessed with burning himself to ashes with the 'fire of evil' from beginning to end.

"......"

Nightmare remained silent. He raised his hands, and meteor-like flames crashed through the sky and crashed down to the ground. At the same time, the souls of the people from Fuuto, whom he had imprisoned, coldly looked at Genji. In an instant, the scorching gray-white flames erupted again on the Kamen Rider's body, but the power of the Holy Sword still remained within Genji's body, so the deadly mark did not appear on his body.

But we must act quickly, taking advantage of this opening, to eliminate Nightmare as soon as possible. Once another mark is left, the battle will become extremely difficult.

With a cold expression, Gensou swung his sword, using its energy to wipe away the flames falling from the sky, preventing them from scattering and killing the citizens of Fuuto behind him. Then, in a flash, he charged into Nightmare's midst.

The strange man then unleashed a thunderstorm centered on himself. Even those who managed to dodge it were left with long, thin, charred wounds on Gensou's body, along with the erosion of the brand. Even when using the Radiant Holy Shield to block it, the areas where the lightning struck were still branded. Gensou had no choice but to adjust his strategy and hurriedly erase the marks on the Holy Shield.

This wasn't because Gengo was being overly cautious; rather, the mark was the embodiment of evil intent. Wherever the mark was, that was where Nightmare's hands and feet could reach, and the people of Fuuto behind him were, in a sense, Nightmare's clones.

Take Lily the Silvers as an example. After Nightmare branded her with her evil thoughts, Nightmare could materialize her grandfather from her dreams. When the branded object faced this materialized being, it would inflict various negative effects on the host it was attached to, such as weakness and fragility, and would force the host to move in the direction Nightmare wanted. This is why half of her 'Cyclone' was just thrown away.

Most importantly, the evil intent on a single brand can be superimposed by hundreds or thousands, thus amplifying the brand's effectiveness at an unimaginable rate, which will inevitably affect the course of the battle.

"Well!!!"

Just after the exchange, Gensou couldn't help but groan, gripping his weapon tightly in pain. The gray-white flames on his body had intensified. The reason was simple: it was also an ability from Nightmare. When he attacked Nightmare, the people he controlled would think he was attacking them, thus increasing their evil thoughts. As a result, the evil flames attached to him would also increase.

Although 'Joker's' aura could block the flames from burning, this is a dream world, and the power of the aura comes from oneself. If he were to use the aura, it would mean that he would not only have to bear the consumption caused by the flames attacking the aura, but also have to pay the power to activate and maintain the aura. Considering all this, it would be better to directly endure the burning of the evil flames, since it would only be a little pain, and he was already used to it.

"Kamen Rider Joker, you should feel fortunate."

Nightmare looked at the boy before him, his hand trembling slightly. Several clones appeared behind him—no, not clones. In this dream world, all Nightmares share a common mind, but their magical power is equal yet independent. Therefore, each Nightmare is an individual, and to each other, they are seamless teammates. They coldly stared at Genji, simultaneously raising their hands and softly saying:

"you are

"That's not necessarily true."

With a flick of his wrist, Gensou inserted 'Cyclone' and 'Accle' into the special attack slot on his waist and the Prism Holy Sword respectively, activating them simultaneously. Amidst the sound effects of "Cyclone! Maximum Drive!" and "Accle! Maximum Drive!", they transformed into a blizzard of snow-white winds, meeting the godlike Nightmare.

198 The Limit of Eternal

In an instant, the pale white tornado engulfed all of the 'Nightmare', but faced with such a scene, Nightmare remained calm and composed, spreading its malevolent intent outward from itself as the center. In the whirlwind summoned by the Kamen Rider, Nightmare spread and permeated the tornado, intending to turn it into a prison to confine Gengo.

Ok? !

The Nightmare suddenly sensed a deadly threat. Almost instantly, the Prism Holy Sword, gleaming with a bright red light, swept out from the gale, like a clone, simultaneously attacking all the Nightmare and leaving long, narrow sword wounds on their bodies. The Prism Holy Sword's annihilation ability also took effect, spreading outwards from the wounds to completely erase the Nightmare's existence.

However, this is the dream world, Nightmare's home ground. The evil thoughts of all living beings in the world are constantly converging on this side. Even if the power of this holy sword is truly formidable, it would be too naive to think that it can defeat him.

That wasn't a clone.

It's a dual acceleration from Accel and Cyclone.

That's right, it doesn't involve space.

Lock onto that sword with malice.

'it is good. '

'........'

In the minds of the Nightmare members, the exchange of information and discussion of countermeasures were completed in an instant. Then, they cooperated to try to capture the high-speed Prism Sword. It has to be said that the Kamen Rider is really amazing to be able to control such a fast weapon so skillfully.

"Watch out, the Kamen Rider has disappeared."

'They must have hidden inside the wind wall.'

"Wait, don't you guys think this wind is strange?"

At that moment, a Nightmare suddenly noticed something was wrong. They had previously thought that the evil flames on the Kamen Rider's body caused the energy tornado to appear in such a strange color, but after spreading the evil, they found that the wind was surprisingly pure. Just as this Nightmare shared this discovery with his companions, he suddenly saw a dinosaur skull flash by in the wind.

'It's Fang; that guy was hiding something.'

'Get out of here!'

The 'Fang' Memory is a T2 Memory meticulously created by Foundation X. Therefore, Nightmare is well aware of the power of this Memory. After all, it was originally created to kill Kamen Rider Joker. In terms of destructive power alone, the power of that Memory is definitely not inferior to that of Fuuto Joker. In some cases, it is even more powerful.

Therefore, the Nightmare were unwilling to provoke this bad luck. They clasped their hands together, and the gray fluctuations immediately ignored the power of 'Cyclone' and spread outwards.

However, just as the Nightmare made their move, a flash of emerald light appeared beside them, and at the same time, wind locks suddenly fell, as if they were already on the Nightmare, only unleashing their power after hearing the call of the Source Village.

At the same moment, a thunderous roar echoed in the howling wind. Beneath the Nightmare's feet, ferocious fangs emerged from the wind, and hysterical destructive power transformed into the head of a roaring dinosaur, pouncing upwards. The shockwaves caused by the roar alone caused the dream world to show signs of disintegration. The Nightmare knew perfectly well that the Kamen Rider had poured all his power into this attack; in other words, he wanted to perish together with them.

However, Kamen Rider, you seem to have underestimated us.

Just as 'Fang' was about to engulf Nightmare, the bodies of these strange beings vanished like smoke, as if from a dream. Within the tornado, only lingering gray ripples proved their existence. Then, in the next second, the citizens of Fuuto suddenly began to tremble violently, thick smoke rising from their mouths and noses. The figures of Nightmare emerged from the smoke and slowly landed on the ground.

In this dream world, Nightmare is the absolute ruler. Let alone using these people as anchors for teleportation, any Kamen Rider with a weak will would become a slave to the dream world when he enters it.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

After regaining their footing, all the Nightmare merged into one. The reason was simple: they had been in a hurry to escape from the wind and had neglected to guard against the Prism Holy Sword. They were instantly slashed and wounded. In order to quickly restore their full fighting strength, they chose to use this method to stack and piece together this complete Nightmare.

"Damn Kamen Rider."

Nightmare muttered to himself. He too possessed the power to obliterate anything within the dream world at will, but when this power was applied to a Kamen Rider, it was resisted and eliminated by the Kamen Rider's tenacious soul. Yet, he himself could not possess the same power... What a disgrace!

But it's over.

Nightmare watched as the Kamen Rider's missed finishing move caused a terrifying tremor in the sky, and a slight smile crept onto his lips. His life was already as fragile as a candle in the wind, and he might not even need to lift a finger; the Kamen Rider would simply perish on its own.

"Hmph, Kamen Rider, what a pity."

Seeing Gensou become transparent after the storm subsided, Nightmare clapped his hands with delight and rushed towards the direction where the boy had fallen. He was truly uneasy if he didn't witness the death of this terrifying adversary.

At that moment, Nightmare saw Gengo take out a memory from his pocket; it was 'Eternal'.

What is he trying to do? I'm not a memory user, so the power of that memory won't affect me.

A question flashed through Nightmare's mind, but no matter what Gensou's plans were, as long as he was killed, all his plans would fall through!

But as Nightmare was about to strike, 'Joker' and 'Fang' flew out from the boy's body, using their bodies as shields to buy time for Genji. At the same time, 'Cyclone', which had been wedged into the sky at some point, suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and green electronic patterns immediately unfolded. Nightmare also clearly felt that he had lost control of the area covered by the patterns.

Haha, I'm also studying very hard.

Seeing the patterns rooted in the sky and unfolding smoothly, Genji breathed a sigh of relief. The assimilation of the data virus had repeatedly put the battle in a difficult situation, but now he could temporarily become Gaia Data with the power of 'Cyclone'. Since that was the case, why didn't he try to learn this technique?

However, the battle happened too suddenly, forcing him to make impromptu improvements on the battlefield. Fortunately, the enemy's attention was drawn to 'Fang', which they mistook for his own death throes, and they did not notice the small movements above the tornado.
