I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Kato Shun screamed, frantically trying to deduce the origin of the flames based on his newly acquired abilities. He was then astonished to discover that the 'Joker' memory seemed to possess the ability to enhance itself based on the user's emotional changes.

So this was your trump card for annihilating the 'museum'?!

Jia Tou was thrown into chaos. He quickly grabbed Yuan Xiang's shoulders tightly, trying to absorb the frenzied power in his body into his own. But in an instant, sparks flew from his armor. Although the stronger the opponent's emotions, the more utopian he should absorb should surpass them, his body could not withstand this determination to die.

Since I can't absorb it, I'll kill you first!

Jia Tou Shun's face tightened, he raised his cane and stabbed it hard into Yuan Xiang's back!

030 Ah, this....

"boom!"

At that moment, a burst of energy burst forth, taking away the tattered cane. The raging power had already gathered within Yuanxiang's body.

But that's not enough, not enough! Body, soul, whatever, for the sake of the winds of Wind City, set them ablaze!!!

"what--!!"

Gensou let out a hysterical roar. Kato Jun stared blankly at the overflowing energy, at the Kamen Rider's damaged mask, and at the flames that spewed from the Rider's right shoulder dancing in the air like a scarf.

Kamen Rider... what a terrifying guy...

But I will never give up!!

Kato's expression darkened. He gathered the power of Utopia into his hand and then plunged it fiercely into Genji's body—

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble and detonate this energy ahead of time!

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the city, like an earthquake had struck. The entire city trembled, and a deep purple light almost illuminated the sky. At the epicenter of the explosion, the air was distorted beyond recognition, resembling a kaleidoscope.

There, a charred body twitched violently. A moment later, it let out a deep, hoarse laugh. It was Jia Tou Shun. He had succeeded. Thanks to absorbing the power of "Joker," he had survived the premature explosion thanks to Utopia. Although his memory was destroyed, it didn't matter. As long as he survived, as long as he survived...

“Kuda…”

Suddenly, Jia Toushun heard a strange sound. He turned his head with all his might and saw a familiar figure wriggling. The figure was crawling towards him little by little, using its only three remaining fingers to grip the ground. Long trails of dark red blood were left on the ground.

His condition was even worse than mine; half of his face had been blown apart, revealing stark white bones, with flames clinging to it and continuing to burn. The other side was intact, but his eyes were empty and lifeless. Clearly, this man had lost consciousness, but his remaining will was driving his battered body to end his own life.

Was it because they were so close that when one of them saved the other, the other person was also protected?

Kato subconsciously pondered this conclusion, which brought a bitter smile to his face. His body had reached its limit; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch. He could only watch as Gensou drew closer and closer, then raised the sparking memory and plunged it into his own head…

Jia Tou Shun died, his body turned to ashes. Beside his ashes, Yuan Xiang lay on his back, his eyes devoid of any life. At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and his charred body suddenly trembled. As if in a final burst of energy, a clear light shone in his eyes. His pupils rolled slightly, the breeze fluttering his eyelashes. His gaze remained fixed, and then the corners of his eyes curved slightly as he closed them with a satisfied expression.

The wind in this windy city is so refreshing...

The knight lay there quietly, just like when he used to nap in his grandfather's arms. His ugly face lingered with joy and relief. At that moment, the wind in the city picked up, all the windmills were spinning, and tiny green specks of light drifted in from all directions, eventually converging into a gentle breeze that swirled around him, blowing away the ashes on the Lost Driver and flying into the slot, vaguely forming the shape of a memory.

Then, a gust of wind blew by, and Yuanxiang disappeared from the spot.

...............

"Ouch!!! Who stepped on Yuanxiang-nii's peach and ruined it?!"

"What?! Ah...it hurts! Huh?"

The sudden sound beside his ear made Gensou jump up from his hospital bed, but immediately, the soreness all over his body made him groan and lie back down. But then he realized something and looked to the side in surprise. Takamachi Nanoha was cheering and jumping for joy, and next to her sat Kirisu Mafuyu, who was letting out a long sigh of relief.

"You...are dead too?"

"You brat, still confused!"

No sooner had he said that than he received a slap on the back of the head. Yuanxiang cried out and lay down, only then realizing that Mingtang Huben was sitting on the other side.

"Cough cough, are you alright?"

Seeing that Gensou's reaction was a bit strong, Mingtang Huben coughed twice, embarrassed, and asked softly. Gensou touched his arms and legs, looked at Mingtang Huben blankly, and said:

"Ah, I don't think I'm crippled... No, that shouldn't be the case, why am I not crippled?!"

"Um, Gensou-nii..."

Hearing Genji's words, the others exchanged glances, and then Takamachi Nanoha cautiously approached, holding a spoon and bowl, and said:

"Now you need to empty the water in the bathtub. Do you want to use this or this?"

"........."

Gensou's face darkened, and he pulled Takamachi Nanoha into his arms, rubbed her face, and then, before Nanoha could protest, he let go of her with a "Ah~~", holding up both hands with a wry smile on his face.

"It feels numb, and it's also very itchy when I touch things."

Yuanxiang helplessly shared his feelings, trying to soothe everyone's worries, but he was still very confused. He remembered very clearly that he had self-destructed. Even if he had survived, he would have been crippled. But... what the hell is this?

"Um... what happened to me? Why am I here?"

Unable to find a solution, Gengo asked the people present, but they were not sure either. They only knew that Little Christmas found him unconscious outside the old site of Sonozaki's house and then brought him to the hospital. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong, but he was still unconscious, so he had to stay in the hospital for observation.

"Hmph, they really know Yuanxiang-gege well; they woke him up with just one call."

At this point, Nanoha Takamachi puffed out her chest proudly, and Gengo patted her head in agreement, praising her. But his heart sank suddenly. The former site of the Sonozaki family was the place where they fought the "Museum"... Why was he there?

"Brother Yuanxiang, do you really not remember why you fainted there?"

Despite having fun, everyone was still concerned about Gengo's health. Takamachi Nanoha asked worriedly, since there were many strange occurrences in Fuuto, and no one could guarantee that Gengo hadn't encountered any.

"I...I think I was out running errands," Genji hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be deep in thought, and said haltingly, "Suddenly I heard...I heard a sound from the sky...yes, there was a sound from the sky, I was just about to look up, and then when I opened my eyes I was here, I..."

"Ahem, Yuanxiang, it's been two weeks since the Fuuto explosion."

At that moment, Kirisu Mafuyu suddenly interrupted him and said softly:

"You disappeared for a week, and then spent another week in the hospital."

"........"

This fact left Yuanxiang momentarily speechless. He had initially wanted to feign ignorance and listen for any changes outside, but... ah, this...

031 Former site of the "museum"

Kirisu Mafuyu cleared her throat and began to recount the changes in Fuuto during this period to Gengo, as if giving a lecture. In reality, there hadn't been any major changes; the most discussed topic during this time was still the Big Bang incident.

Officials say an underground gas pipeline leak caused the explosion. Although no one was killed, the Flower Language Plaza was completely destroyed. The crater created by the explosion is now filled with groundwater, and the government plans to use it to develop it into a tourist attraction.

In addition, a gang fight broke out in a prison in the eastern suburbs of Fengdu, resulting in heavy casualties. The person in charge has bowed in apology and resigned.

Then, things like big sales and talent shows became irrelevant. To be honest, before the weirdo appeared, Fuuto was a very quiet city.

But Yuanxiang was still uneasy. Since he had survived, it was possible that Utopia hadn't died either, which was a big problem. This time, he used the airship bomb to force him to show himself, but it was hard to imagine what tricks he would use next. Now... he had to figure out how he had survived.

Thinking of this, Genji covered his forehead and slowly lay down. Seeing this, Nanoha Takamachi immediately tried to call a doctor, but he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Don't call me, I'm just suddenly sleepy again, let me take another nap."

"Okay, then we'll come see you again in a while."

Kirisu Mafuyu, who was standing nearby, picked up on his words and pulled Takamachi Nanoha to leave. Meidou Morimoto, stroking his stubble, also stood up and walked outside. His niece worked as a nurse here, and before leaving, he went over to say hello and asked her to help look after the place. He was clumsy and couldn't even take care of his son, so he shouldn't stay and bother Gensou.

Yuanxiang heard the door close, but he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he lay there, seriously recalling his battle with Utopia, thinking about whether there was any information worth referencing. After finding nothing, he sat up, put on his clothes, and quietly left. He knew his body well; although his muscles were sore and numb, it wouldn't affect his movements.

The biggest problem now is that his Lost Driver and Gaia Memory are not on him. If he encounters a monster, it will be difficult to fight it with his bare hands.

With that in mind, Gengo skillfully made his way into the sewer, then opened his arms. About three minutes later, a fish suddenly leaped out of the water beside him. The fish crashed into the wall next to him, opened its mouth, and a dark shadow flew out. Gengo reached out and grabbed it, and sure enough, it was his 'Joker'.

Okay, time to head back to the firm.

Back when I was fighting the 'Museum', I also got some spoils from their factory, like a brand new Lost Driver. There's another one in the agency, but I hope I can find the original one, since I don't know how to build this thing.

After returning to the office, Gengo lifted the floorboards, took out the driver, put it in his coat, and then planned to head to the ruins of the Sonozaki family.

But then he suddenly stopped and looked at the office door, his brows furrowing slightly. He still remembered the Butterfly Sisters, but his memories of that world seemed to be fragmented, like he remembered how he got there, but forgot when he returned.

"What bad luck! You two happened to run into each other because you forgot twice."

Yuanxiang shook his head helplessly and put the matter aside for the time being. He would go and check on it when he got back, hoping that he hadn't missed anything important.

He pushed the motorcycle out of the garage, put on his helmet, and revved the engine, then Yuanxiang sped onto the road. He quickly arrived at the ruins. Looking at the rusty gate, Yuanxiang was filled with emotion. The tragic scenes of the past battles seemed to appear before his eyes. He shook his head, cleared his mind, and jumped over the wall.

His purpose for this trip was also very clear: the secret factory underground in the Sonozaki family's residence. It could be said that all the memory units were extracted from there. If anyone had designs on this land, it was simply because they had their eyes on it.

Upon arriving there, he shook the memory device, using the purple light emanating from it to dispel the surrounding darkness, and immediately discovered signs of human activity.

Furthermore, those people seemed to have left in a hurry, without even destroying the documents. Gensou reached out and poked at the fire next to him, picking up a piece of yellowish paper scrap. Although there were no words on it, the remaining half of a badge allowed him to recognize that it was a piece of paper from the X Foundation.

It seems Utopia wasn't specifically targeting me; is it trying to reclaim the manufacturing data of the Gaia Memory?

Yuanxiang stirred the fire again, then left disappointed. This wasn't the kind of discovery he wanted; he was more eager to find clues related to himself.

He continued walking forward, and before long, the atmosphere around him became eerie and terrifying. Genji was not surprised by this, because this was the place where he would have his final battle with the museum's master, Sonozaki Ryubei.

That guy uses the 'Fear' memory, which can release deadly mud and unleash terrifying mental attacks. It also has a dragon-like monster hidden in its head that can separate from its body and transform into a giant dragon.

Therefore, that battle was extremely arduous. After being awakened by the most primal fears of humanity, just thinking about fighting him made his body want to run away uncontrollably. With each punch he threw, the fear rising from the bottom of his heart was like a giant hand, tightly gripping his heart and choking his breath. Sonozaki Ryubei's attacks failed to break through his armor, but he was almost killed by his own body's instincts.

Fortunately, I won in the end, and in a sense, I overcame my inner fears.

Sonozaki Ryubei was defeated by himself, and the energy he unleashed before his death is still affecting this place. It is precisely because of this that no buyer has been found for this old site. Even if ordinary people don't come down, staying up there for too long will make them go crazy.

Ok?

At that moment, Gengo suddenly noticed something. He rushed over and picked up a large clump of debris from the ground. From the edges, he could still vaguely make out that it was the Lost Driver he had used before. He never expected it to be broken like this, and in this location...

Yuanxiang looked around and confirmed that this was the place where the well used to be.

He clearly remembered that Sonozaki Ryubei was also protecting the well during the battle, preventing it from being destroyed by the aftermath of the battle. This was why he wanted to destroy the well as well, since what the enemy cherished was the most valuable thing for him to destroy.

Unfortunately, I was already exhausted by then. I staggered to the well, but lost my footing and fell in.

So what exactly is that well, and what secrets does it hold?

Gengo subconsciously pounded the ground with the wreckage to vent his unanswerable questions. Suddenly, green sparks erupted from the driver wreckage, burning Gengo, who jerked his hand back, blinked, and looked on in surprise—

Is there something inside this wreckage?!

032 The Abandoned Outpost

Genji carefully picked up the driver's remains, examined them, and then put down the 'Joker' memory. He used both hands to straighten the twisted remains, and as soon as he made a move, something fell out from the middle. It was a memory, but it was gray and had no other color, and there was no useful reference information to be found on it.

After a slight hesitation, Gensou took out the intact Lost Driver, inserted it into the device, and wanted to see if he could activate it.
