Therefore, the dinosaur avatar stopped jumping, raised its axe, and stood ready. But at that moment, Genji suddenly sensed something and looked behind him. He saw that the research institute he had destroyed had been restored to its original state in an instant. As Genji destroyed it again with the power of 'Joker Xtreme', an invisible wave suddenly spread out from it. Amidst the flying debris, Professor Kannagi looked at Genji sinisterly, a slight smile on his lips, and then vanished into thin air.
'He is me, and I am him'... Is this how you understand this sentence?
Genji's face darkened. He hadn't expected that there was such a rebirth relationship between Dr. Kannagi and the dinosaur incarnation. Moreover, the power of the Gaia Memory was fading. Could this be the method that Professor Kannagi had just activated?
Gensou's side was suppressed, and Shotaro Hidari even deactivated his transformation. Yuto Sakurai, Haruto Soma, and Gentaro Kisaragi were no exception. Only Eiji Hino survived this inexplicable attack thanks to the power of the God-made coin. However, Eiji and Anhk were well aware that they were not even 20% of their previous strength in their current state. If they were to face the dinosaur transformation, they would probably be killed instantly.
"Hmph... Do you really think I wasn't on guard against you Kamen Riders?"
The dinosaur avatar raised its hand, and in an instant, the invisible waves that had spread out suddenly receded. At that moment, the Gaia Memory, the Magician's Ring, the Knight's Pass, and the Astronomical Switch—all the items used for transformation—dimmed and could not be activated in any way.
"It has been 'sealed'."
Realizing what was happening, Philip looked at his 'Cyclone' with a grim face and said:
"Those pterosaur monsters weren't just there to activate the 'Memory' and stop us; they were markers themselves. The Earth data from the Gaia Memory, the magic of the magician's ring... all these marked powers have been sealed away by this bastard!"
"Wow~~~ As expected of a detective from Fuuto, your mind works really fast, but unfortunately, you realized it too late."
The dinosaur avatar glanced at Philip unexpectedly. In his original future memories... well, there's no need to praise him. After all, compared to him, the Joker of unknown origin is more threatening right now.
What exactly is going on?
Looking at Kamen Rider Joker, who hadn't even exited his 'Xtreme' form, Dinosaur Avatar felt it was absurd. In his current base, all the memory data used by Kamen Rider W during this period were missing, yet this guy could still maintain his transformed state... Could he be a memory container specially created by the 'Museum'? Oh well, whatever his origins, getting rid of him is fine. Once he's dead, he can continue his research in peace. This is a crucial moment; don't mess things up!
I never expected the enemy to have such a tactic...
At the same time, Gengo felt the power draining from his body, and his expression became subtle. This was quite similar to the situation when he fought against God One. However, back then he imported all the Joker data, while now he left room to avoid exacerbating the 'blankness', causing the data to continuously drain away.
Furthermore, whether it's because he's in seclusion, or because Professor Kannagi has set up unknown methods for the base, or because of the influence of the Paradox System, Genji is unable to connect to the outside world and gain power from it. This means that he must finish the battle quickly, or he will be dragged down by the enemy.
It must be a fatal blow!
Thinking of this, Gengo's murderous aura suddenly became terrifying. In that instant, the dinosaur incarnation even felt the Grim Reaper's scythe already at its neck. At this moment, the Desire Coin on Kamen Rider OOO's waist suddenly flashed slightly towards Gengo, as if indicating something. But before that, Gengo had already rushed over, like a black flash, and instantly killed the dinosaur incarnation's head.
However, faced with such a terrifying attack, the dinosaur avatar's panicked expression suddenly calmed down. He chuckled, and a magic circle appeared within his body, turning into chains that locked the dinosaur core coin. His terrifying figure also shrank instantly, returning to the normal size of a human. This change allowed him to perfectly avoid Gensou's killing move, and he could even take the opportunity to deliver a vicious blow!
In a flash, the magical chains broke, and the dinosaur transformed back. A menacing blast of cold air crashed into Gengo's back, where the old power had vanished and the new power had yet to be generated. Kamen Rider Joker was instantly turned into an ice sculpture and fell downwards along the direction of the force. Kamen Rider OOO rushed forward and caught him, but was slammed to the ground by the excessive force and slid a long way. When he came to a stop, Hino Eiji couldn't help but groan and deactivated his transformation. But before that, he used his remaining strength to slap the ice sculpture and used the power of fire to break the ice.
"Eiji, thank you for your hard work."
After regaining his freedom, Gengo uttered these words and launched another attack on the dinosaur avatar. But at that moment, a strange tremor suddenly emanated from the base, followed by a faint starlight enveloping the dinosaur avatar. Gentaro Kisaragi was very familiar with this; it was energy from the universe, and... this guiding power still retained a trace of 'Misaki Nadeshiko's' aura. In other words, if Gengo and the others hadn't stopped him, would Nadeshiko have been turned into a tool by this bastard?!
"Hahaha, my plan is finally coming to an end. Now, come and pay homage to the king who will rule the universe!"
Feeling the faint cosmic power beginning to emerge, the dinosaur avatar straightened its body in a pretentious manner and declared in a proud tone. Genji naturally ignored it. In everyone's sight, most of Genji's body suddenly became transparent in an instant, and then the power of black gold re-rendered its outline. The decisive blow was thus prepared.
The dinosaur incarnation showed no intention of dodging. Although the power of the universe was newly manifested and he could not control it freely, and could only use it as a shield, it was enough. He was confident that Kamen Rider Joker could not hurt him.
'Boom! '
The lightning-fast attack struck the cosmic shield with a deafening roar. The speed was so great that neither side could keep up. After a brief stalemate, dense cracks appeared in the incredulous eyes of the dinosaur incarnation. With a furious roar from Kamen Rider Joker, his confident defense shattered.
But what's the point? Am I supposed to just stand here and let you beat me up?
The dinosaur incarnation realized that Kamen Rider Joker had exhausted his strength to break through the barrier. Since that was the case, he picked up the giant axe and struck while the iron was hot. Gengo took a deep breath and squeezed out the last bit of memory data, desperately withstanding the cold blow.
At that moment, a fiery red Core Medal leaped from Kamen Rider Joker's waist, transforming into a winged arm that fiercely grabbed at the chest of the dinosaur-like figure.
231 The Evolution of 'Fang'
The winged arm flew like an arrow toward the dinosaur's chest. The hard, reinforced skin was nothing to him, and he easily probed inside. Then, Anhk gritted his teeth and pulled outward with all his might. Countless coins of desire were pulled out of the dinosaur's body by this force, and in an instant, a rain of coins fell from the sky.
This was exactly what Anhk had implied to Gengo earlier. As Greeed of the same origin, they were quite adept at plundering Core Medals. In the past, when fighting other Greeed, it was commonplace for them to rip out Core Medals from chests. Therefore, just as Hino Eiji deactivated his transformation, Anhk quietly hid on Gengo's body, preparing for this sneak attack.
Now, the dinosaur avatar clearly hadn't expected this move. After Anhk succeeded, it couldn't help but grunt, and its size suddenly shrank. It clearly saw four purple Core Medals falling in the rain of coins, but before it could retrieve them, the bird-winged arm took them into its hand.
Give it back to me!
The dinosaur transformed and roared as it charged toward Anhk. If this coin fell into the hands of Kamen Rider OOO, it might cause a different stir. After all, Kamen Rider OOO had never used the dinosaur-themed Core Medal before, and he couldn't seal his transformation in advance.
"Eiji!"
Seeing the dinosaur avatar charging towards him, Anhk roared and looked at Hino Eiji, but instead threw the coin to Gengo. This sudden change caused the dinosaur avatar, which was prepared to intercept it halfway, to miss its target. He watched as the core coin, which was flying in the opposite direction, was caught by the boy. Then, his palm turned blank, taking the core coin into its grasp.
The attack that broke through the cosmic barrier had completely exhausted the 'Joker' data in Gengo's body. Now, although Gengo still has memories like 'Hua', 'Skull', and 'Eternal' that Kamen Rider W hasn't used recently and can use to transform, the lesson of the sealed memories is right in front of him. Continuing to use the Gaia Memories would be tantamount to actively handing a weakness to the enemy.
Now, thanks to Anhk's efforts, he has new power in his hands. 'Blank' can accept everything. Since that's the case, then let's use dinosaurs to fight dinosaurs. If he has the guts to seal the 'dinosaurs' as well, Gengo will be happy to fight him hand to hand.
However, we must act quickly, because if he gains control of the power of the universe, this glimmer of hope will vanish.
Thinking of this, Gensou's expression hardened, and his left hand, which contained the dinosaur coin, went almost completely blank for a moment. In this near-absolutely pure environment, the power of the dinosaur coin was immediately activated, and a faint purple light suddenly shone. The phantom images of four purple coins appeared behind Gensou and then entered his body.
But at that very moment, Yuanxiang couldn't help but let out a wail. Dense purple patterns appeared on his body, as if his blood had changed color. Then, in the blink of an eye, mud-like blackness crawled on his skin. Although the boy still looked the same, in everyone's perception, he had become a more terrifying and uglier being than a dinosaur incarnation.
"Hmph, foolish! Do you really think the Dinosaur Core Medals are so easy to handle?!"
The dinosaur avatar pressed one hand to its chest, calming the core coin within its body that was agitated by magic, and looked at the tormented Gensou with a contemptuous laugh.
Since the Dinosaur Medal comes from a non-existent creature, its corresponding desire is none. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a Core Medal were lost, no Greeed would be generated. The reason he can use it is because his desire is so great, close to the infinity of the universe. But even so, he still has to use magic to restrain the leakage of the coin's power to prevent himself from being burst.
And this fool right now, regardless of his desires, just the fact that he so violently channeled the power of the four coins into his body... Ha!
but.....
The dinosaur avatar involuntarily took a step back, because at this moment, a black aura resembling silt was flowing from the boy's body, and the eroded land instantly became a terrifying existence like a bottomless swamp. Although he was not very willing, the dinosaur avatar had to admit that he was truly afraid of this 'silt', a fear and disgust from the depths of his soul.
"Shotaro, is this Terror?"
Philip, his face grave, questioned his partner, after all, he had faced 'Terror' several times, but Shotaro, his expression grim, answered in a low voice:
“This is definitely not Terror. Even if Sonozaki Ryubei were here, he wouldn’t dare touch what’s gushing out of Go… What has he been through all this time?!”
"Shotaro, I'm going to help him."
Philip closed the book in his hand, tossed it aside, and spread his palm. His 'Fang' quietly jumped up. Since the previous pterosaur monster was too weak, this memory did not appear at all. Therefore, according to the speculation about the dinosaur monster's methods, 'Fang' can still be used to transform.
Looking at this memory, which posed a risk of them losing control of their sanity once they transformed, Shotaro pressed down on his hat, his expression quite complicated. For Philip, could his partner really handle piloting 'Fang' alone...?
"despair......"
"desire......"
At that moment, Haruto Soma and Eiji Hino suddenly spoke one after the other. After exchanging glances, they seemed to have reached some conclusion, and Haruto Soma addressed everyone:
"It is 'evil,' the purest 'evil' in the human heart!"
Indeed, the dinosaur's 'nothingness' triggered the 'evil' sealed within Gensou's soul. The collision of these two forces resulted in the terrifying scene before us. Gensou is doing his best to plug the torn soul seal, but because Gensou carries 'desire,' he naturally becomes the target of 'nothingness'.
Caught between 'nothingness' and 'evil', Genji was in unbearable pain. He could only relieve the pressure on his soul by using the 'Kingdom' technique he had learned in Ursus to release some of the 'evil'.
However, this does not mean that the current situation has improved. The sealed 'evil' is too great and is still something that Gensou cannot deal with. As for the Dinosaur Coin, he may be able to suppress it with his iron will, but that would inevitably result in mutual destruction. In that state, even if he uses the memory to fight, how can he defeat the Dinosaur Avatar?
Should we use the power of 'evil' to defeat the enemy?
Gensou glanced at the mud-like power, then at the still-damaged seal, and shook his head helplessly. As things stand, once he defeats the dinosaur incarnation with 'evil,' the seal will be completely destroyed. Although he was confident he could put these filthy things back, it would take time. If the madness of the past were to repeat itself here, Shotaro and the others would likely be affected.
So... is there only one path left to take?
Gensou looked at his hand. Whether it was 'nothing' or 'blank,' they were essentially the same thing. Since that was the case, as long as he moved towards 'blank,' he could merge into it and try to master the power of the core coin.
But....
In that case....
How much more will I lose?
A hint of melancholy flashed across Genji's face, but immediately, the gloom in his heart was swept away. The boy closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and the faces of his grandfather, Takamachi Nanoha, Daido Katsumi, Yagami Hayate, Jinno Chio, Kirisu Mafuyu... all his friends from Fuuto flashed by.
The boy opened his eyes again, and the figures of his companions, including Yuto Sakurai, Shotaro Hidari, Philip, and Eiji Hino, were clearly visible.
Looking back on the past seventeen years, I have tasted the warmth of family affection and embraced the beauty of friendship. All that remains is what I must protect. For this, what is there that I cannot give up?
Yes, I've had that awareness for a long time.
Gensho slowly stretched out his hands, and emerald green light spots drifted away from them. Everything about the boy was slowly being filled with blankness. In a daze, he seemed to see many people. Those people were laughing and making noise at him, but he could not recognize any of them. He could only watch those figures gradually run away and eventually disappear. Gensho realized what this meant, but he still did not stop what he was doing.
Suddenly, the boy felt an urge to laugh. If the nightmare knew that his desperate attempt to fight to the death had ultimately driven him to the brink, would it laugh out loud in hell?
"Xiang! Don't do anything reckless!"
Seeing the boy, who was as pure as a lotus emerging from water amidst his evil thoughts, Philip hurriedly shouted and took out the Lost Driver, wanting to transform using 'Fang'. However, 'Fang' was designed to protect Philip from harm, so it naturally resisted its master's self-harming actions, causing Philip to freeze in place for a moment.
Hino Eiji also looked at Anhk, but Greeed shook his head helplessly as he looked at the other two sealed Core Medals, and then rushed over, wanting to rely on the power of the God-made Medals to force his way through the evil sea.
Behind Haruto Soma and Gentaro Kisaragi, who were trying to transform, Yuto Sakurai angrily threw the Zeronos Card on the ground, as if he regretted not giving it to Gengo.
On the other side, the dinosaur avatar also launched an attack on the location of Gensou. He felt that if Gensou continued, he would be in great danger.
"Roar~~~!!"
Just then, a sudden roar drew everyone's attention. They first looked at the dinosaur avatar, and after seeing the enemy, they were also confused. Then they looked at Yuanxiang. Then, they saw the pale 'Fang' fall from the boy's chest, jump into the already empty body, and disappear without a trace.
But Gengo could see clearly that 'Fang's' data appeared in his soul and went straight to the dinosaur coin. Unlike Philip's 'Fang', Gengo's 'Fang' did not protect the boy because of its original setting. Instead, after being swept away by 'Cyclone', the boy forcibly suppressed its wildness and ferocity with his own will, and only then was 'Fang' recognized as its master.
Therefore, this 'Fang' is purer, just as the original intention of Foundation X in creating it, representing absolute destruction. Especially now that 'Fang' has temporarily abandoned its self-awareness and returned to its nature, it is simply following its previous trajectory to launch an attack on the Core Medal. With the added blessing of the 'blank' 'Xtreme', this singular meaning transcends the concept of desire. Although it is also hindered by the Dinosaur Core Medal, it is much, much smaller than the previous Gensou.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of the source, the pale meteor directly destroyed a Desire Coin. After instinctively swallowing the coin fragments, it set its sights on the remaining coins. The concept of 'nothingness' also meant that the Dinosaur Coins would not react much to the impending crisis.
Therefore, in an instant, all four core coins were transformed into food for 'Fang', and the meteor-like 'Fang' transformed into a phantom of an upright walking dinosaur. Its body, which seemed to be composed of white smoke, roared wildly in the soul space. Then, its scarlet and ferocious eyes fell on the only living being here, Yuanxiang. It growled and stared at Yuanxiang, clearly having found new food.
But Yuanxiang did not run away, nor did he show any hostility towards it. He looked at the dinosaur getting closer and closer, smiled and opened his arms. This was 'Fang', the 'Fang' that would climb on his head and make a fuss, the 'Fang' that would 'purr', the 'Fang' that would jump around on the sofa, and also his own 'Fang', the one and only 'Fang' in the world.
Yuanxiang smiled as the dinosaur charged. Yuanxiang smiled as the dinosaur opened its massive jaws. Yuanxiang smiled as the dinosaur's sharp teeth pierced his body, its terrifying bite force almost severing Yuanxiang in half. It instinctively tried to lift Yuanxiang up and shake him, to completely break the boy's body. But in this battle of souls, the dinosaur, which was not much taller than Yuanxiang, was clearly slightly weaker. With Yuanxiang's strength, not only did it not lift the dinosaur up, but it was also subdued by the boy.
But Yuanxiang made no further attack. He simply reached out and gently stroked 'Fang's' head, softly humming a long melody he didn't know he had learned from somewhere, letting the sharp teeth rub against his body. The smile on his face was still full of love. How could he not be overjoyed that his own child had fought so hard for him?
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
As time passed, the raging dinosaur gradually calmed down to the melody. Its sharp teeth were pulled from Gengo's body, and its scarlet eyes were filled with guilt and unease. Gengo simply continued to smile, stood on tiptoe, and pressed his cheek against its head, gently stroking 'Fang's' cotton-like skin. 'Fang' let out a soft cry and lowered its head. At that moment, a pale light bloomed in the soul world, and a brand-new 'Fang' power erupted!
232 Fang·Fang
"What kind of ability is this?"
In reality, the dinosaur avatar stared solemnly at the area filled with black mist. Just getting close to it caused the dinosaur-type core coin in its body to become restless. It was truly unimaginable that it would react to something that was supposed to be 'nothing'.
Furthermore, even though Kamen Rider Joker was right in the distance, once you stepped into the area, you suddenly felt like you were out of reach. It wasn't that the distance had increased, but rather that your steps were being entangled by an invisible force, as if you were walking in hell, where tormented demons were reaching out their arms, trying to drag you into the bottomless abyss.
The dinosaur avatar had no interest in this powerful force. If possible, he wanted to take a bath after leaving to avoid being tainted by this disgusting stench. No one would want to possess such pure and immense 'evil'. Although it was a double-edged sword, he would never take that risk.
"This is really troublesome..."
Anhk also reached the edge of the domain, but he did not enter it. Instead, he retreated as the black mist expanded. For Greeed, once he stepped into it, endless desires would be aroused. This pure evil was the most tempting poison. This was something that the power of the God-made coin could not resist, because it was aimed at Anhk's will.
