It wasn't until Genjo's coffin was lowered into the pit and he grabbed the first handful of soil and sprinkled it on the wooden plank that Genjo felt himself waking up from his 'dream'. Looking at the cold tombstone and feeling the snowflakes hitting his face, Genjo stood there blankly, large tears rolling down his cheeks. The boy's face was numb, but his dejected back and vacant gaze silently spoke of his heart-wrenching sorrow.
Yuanxiang watched as the shovel gradually covered the coffin with soil. When the last handful of yellow earth fell, he felt as if a string had been cut off from his body. From then on, he was like a kite with a broken string. Nowhere in this world seemed to be his home, yet everywhere seemed to be his home. How to put it? It was very inexplicable. He wanted to laugh a little, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but the tears that he couldn't stop made him look particularly ridiculous, like a clown.
Takamachi Shirou took a deep breath and gently embraced the boy beside him, but the boy pushed him away, picked up the tombstone, planted it in front of the grave, and then turned to express his gratitude to everyone present for attending his grandfather, Minamoto no Shokichi's, funeral. Everyone pursed their lips, stepped forward to embrace the solitary boy, left a few words of blessing, and then departed. Takamachi Nanoha looked at her distraught brother and wanted to stay with him, but her mother shook her head, hugged her, and whispered:
"Let the countryside have some peace and quiet..."
With the departure of the Takamachi family, only Genji remained in the cemetery. He didn't speak, but stood quietly in place, looking at his grandfather's tombstone. The heavy snow continued to fall, landing on the boy's hat and seeping into the seams of his clothes. Half an hour passed, and the boy was almost a snowman. He still didn't speak, just staring blankly.
Just then, his coat vibrated. Genji took out his phone expressionlessly, and the notification on the screen was clearly related to the monster.
Yuanxiang's gaze shifted slightly. He reached out and took off his hat, shook off the snow, knelt down, and pressed his forehead against the tombstone. At that moment, he seemed to hear his grandfather's voice again.
He says
Go
Go do what you're supposed to do.
then
The boy disappeared in the snow.
The knight appeared in the snow
296 The Strangeness of the Ambassador of Hell
Those small platforms were clearly supplying energy to some kind of device, so Yuanxiang used the area below them as the breakthrough point in his plan. After rushing to the lower level, he also found the extended route and continued to attack the emergency defense line formed by Bataan.
It must be said that the power released by the 'Skull' memory in Gengo's hands exceeded the boy's expectations. Although it was not as powerful as the Joker, the power it displayed was enough to deal with the enemies in front of him. However, Gengo still dared not relax in the slightest, because he clearly realized that the 'Xtreme' power he could use was pitifully small. He didn't know if it was because of the 'Land of the Dead' or because he was now just a soul.
"Kamen Rider, your life ends here, yo-ho~~"
Suddenly, a tiger-like monster with cannon barrels on its back and arms, and a shoe-like monster with missile heads protruding from its pincers, appeared in the defensive line in front of them. They roared and unleashed all their firepower at Yuanxiang. The attack was so dense that it was unimaginable how such a weapon arsenal could be contained in their bodies, which were the same size as normal people. After unleashing so many missiles in one go, the two monsters moved their bodies slightly and then burst into the same ferocious attack again. The area was bombarded and devastated in an instant.
This is their own base, they really don't care at all if they blow it up.
However, those two idiots were completely unaware that the person they were supposed to deal with had already left. The flames and smoke from the explosion provided excellent cover. Genji used the flames to melt a hole in the ground and hid on a lower level. Listening to the persistent roar behind him, the boy couldn't help but click his tongue and took the opportunity to increase his speed even more.
Ok?
Suddenly, Gensou saw a small mark at the corner of the wall, exactly the same as the one his grandfather had used. It must have been left to him by Mr. Narumi. He was really quick. Even though I hadn't been held up by the enemy for long, it didn't matter. It was always good to have a capable helper.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
After turning two corners in Yuanxiang, countless playing cards fell from the sky, piercing the floor and walls like spikes. It was Shadow General who had caught up. His white bodysuit still had black spots and tears from being burned by flames, revealing his pale, strange skin with exposed veins.
The next second, the Shadow General vanished, and the playing cards on the ground began to glow with an eerie light. Almost simultaneously, Genji groaned. Although he had dodged in time, his arm was still slashed by the Shadow General's rapier. Moreover, his speed was astonishing, moving like light between the playing cards in a teleportation-like attack.
Yuanxiang's face tightened, and with a wave of his hand, a few pale sparks fell to the ground. They then rose up without wind, turning into a sea of fire that burned the Shadow General's formation. However, these playing cards were clearly not ordinary items; even in the flames, they were destroyed very slowly. Moreover, after realizing Yuanxiang's intentions, the Shadow Generals, as if prepared, threw more playing cards into the air, followed by an even more ferocious attack. For a moment, Yuanxiang felt as if more than ten Shadow Generals were attacking him simultaneously.
"Kamen Rider, this is my true power!"
The Shadow General was laughing wildly, his shrill voice coming from all directions, giving people a headache. The Shadow General quietly pointed his rapier at Genji's throat. This Kamen Rider had a strong sense of danger. In the previous fight, all of his killing moves had been accurately intercepted and countered. Now, this guy was being overwhelmed by the continuous attacks and was in a flurry of activity. It was the perfect time to finish him off!
But at that moment, Shadow General suddenly sensed something was wrong. The Kamen Rider in front of him seemed to have changed in some way. His armor and flames suddenly emitted an incredible death aura. Although everyone was in the land of the dead and were all ghosts, Shadow General felt that this guy was about to 'die' even more thoroughly than himself. He was like a block of ice standing there, and he could not feel any killing intent or aura.
At the same moment, the Shadow General felt a blur before his eyes, and then completely lost consciousness, not even having time to feel the pain of his head being blown apart.
Tsk... The 'xtreme' state of this memory is really not good.
Gensou, having withdrawn his fist, couldn't help but exhale. He really couldn't get used to the feeling of becoming completely dead. Although that state didn't affect his memories much, the fading of his emotions was a drawback that couldn't be ignored.
We need to hurry on. Mr. Narumi's guideposts are gone, and we'll just have to follow these meaningless routes from now on. If only we could free the predecessors from the Lockseeds to help us.
Gengo looked at the Rider Cards and Lockseeds protected in his scarf and couldn't help but sigh. Actually, with the help of Kamen Rider W's Rider Cards, he could temporarily achieve peak combat power, but if possible, he should save that power until he left this land of the dead. If he couldn't find a way back, he would have to rely on brute force to tear a path and escort these Lockseed seniors back to reality.
"Kamen Rider Skull, you shouldn't have barged in!"
This time, the ones who came to intercept Gengo were the Hell Ambassador and the monsters he led. The boy even saw the porcupine monster and squid monster that he had defeated on the alien fortress. It seems that Shocker's organization really has a lot of black technology. Even though he was so badly beaten back then, he was still able to revive. Wait, could these guys be thinking of reviving their leader?
Genji raised an eyebrow, realizing something. Indeed, what he had defeated was merely a virus created by Hell using data. He had not yet seen the true remains of the Shocker leader. If he continued to think along these lines, he would have to eliminate another target on this trip.
"Follow me!"
Having come this far, there was no need for further words or verbal sparring. It was a fight to the death. The Hell Ambassador, whip in hand, was the first to charge, surprising Genji. Genji had always thought of him as a cunning schemer; this direct, head-on attack was quite unexpected...
Not afraid of death!
Gengo drew his Magnum and accurately deflected the porcupine's back spikes and venomous bullets. He then engaged the Hell Ambassador in combat, throwing a punch straight at the 'old acquaintance's' face. The Hell Ambassador swiftly grabbed the boy's wrist and pulled him away, simultaneously kicking Gengo in the chest. Instead of retreating, Gengo advanced, attempting to counter the Hell Ambassador's attack. However, the Hell Ambassador preemptively blocked Gengo's advance and straightened his whip, using it as a noose to restrain Gengo's movements.
Is the Ambassador of Hell really that good at close combat?
A hint of doubt flashed through Yuanxiang's mind. Every move he made was incredibly skillful. Moreover, he was sure it wasn't his imagination; this Hell Ambassador seemed to be less adept at using weapons than at using his fists.
Despite his confusion, Yuanxiang's attacks didn't stop; in fact, they intensified as the battle continued. Even the elite monsters of Badan struggled to keep up with their movements, let alone ordinary cannon fodder. Just then, he suddenly heard the Hell Ambassador scream and punch himself hard in the chest. He immediately coughed up blood and flew backward, rolling more than ten meters on the ground, roaring in unwilling fury:
"Kamen Rider, don't think you've won!"
what?
Although he didn't know what was going on, Gensho began to realize that something was wrong. He didn't say anything or make any unnecessary movements, seemingly accepting everything.
"What are you all standing there for! Attack!"
The Hell Ambassador coughed up blood and angrily lashed out at the Bataan member beside him with his whip. At the same time, Gengo saw the figure of Narumi Shokichi. The detective, still wearing the enemy uniform, silently pointed downwards. Having received this information, Gengo glanced at the artillery fire coming toward him and then at the Hell Ambassador out of the corner of his eye. Without saying a word, he slammed his fist into the floor, but it only left a crack. Immediately, the enemy's bombardment completed the final step for Gengo.
So, the energy storage for this base is right here!
As Yuanxiang fell, he saw the huge glass energy chamber below, which was flashing with an eerie green light. The surging energy lightning inside was so concentrated that it flowed like liquid.
But what appeared before Genji was not just the energy capsule, but also Kamen Rider Fifeteen. The middle-aged man silently completed his transformation with a fierce look in his eyes. His newly grown hand held a twisted blade, and the weapon was covered with an ominous gray mist. It seemed that after being defeated by him, although he did not obtain the mysterious weapon that the man mentioned, he had received a new blessing.
This is really troublesome.
Gengo's expression faltered. In his current state, he was no match for Fifeteen. Moreover, as his intentions were completely exposed, enemy reinforcements were constantly arriving. As Gengo fell, he tried to detonate the energy pod with the Bone Magnum Gun, but Kamen Rider Fifeteen's blade aura accurately intercepted it all.
But immediately, a pale figure leaped down from the gap above. Kamen Rider Fifeteen stared intently, only to be astonished to find that it was yet another Kamen Rider Skul. This new Skul, however, had no hat; his bald skull was marked with a lightning bolt. This new Kamen Rider Skul also wielded the same skull Magnum, attempting to complete the attack that Gengo had failed to finish by blasting the energy pod apart. But the result was the same: the two Kamen Rider Skul landed on the ground, standing side by side, looking at Kamen Rider Fifeteen blocking their way, and then glancing behind him. The mere hundred meters between them had now become an insurmountable chasm.
"Mr. Narumi".
At that moment, Gengo reached out and grasped Narumi Shokichi's arm. The old detective immediately felt a surge of power, and then a flaming hat appeared on his head. The boy withdrew his hand, holding his gun warily, and said softly:
“A detective should always maintain his elegance, so I think you should have a hat.”
"Haha, you little rascal, you're getting more and more to my liking."
Narumi Shoji chuckled twice, reached out and tested the feel of the flame hat, and then, without any communication or warning, the two Kamen Rider Skuls moved simultaneously, rushing towards Kamen Rider Fifeteen.
Kamen Rider Fifeteen blocked the relentless barrage of shots with his sword, then with a backhand flick, a gray-black blade of energy flew out. Narumi Sokichi pushed Gengo, and the boy used the momentum to lean forward and continue firing from an angle, restraining Kamen Rider Fifeteen's movements. Narumi Sokichi, on the other hand, strode towards the enemy wielding the blade, throwing a punch with all his might. This punch had little effect on Kamen Rider Fifeteen, but as he was about to retaliate, Narumi Sokichi tilted his head, and a Magnum bullet flew sideways from his helmet, landing precisely between Kamen Rider Fifeteen's eyebrows and exploding with a bang.
Narumi Sokichi seized the opportunity, aiming his fists at the enemy's head, determined to defeat him completely. However, after only six punches, Narumi Sokichi's fist was grabbed. Kamen Rider Fifeteen, whose helmet still had smoke on it, slowly exerted force, twisting Narumi Sokichi's arm to the outside, seemingly trying to dislocate his joint.
To Kamen Rider Fifeteen's surprise, Narumi Sokichi dislocated his shoulder first, allowing his body to move freely, and rammed his head forward. Fearing a dirty trick, Kamen Rider Fifeteen didn't want to take the headbutt and retreated. However, he saw Gengo, who had silently appeared, roll on Narumi Sokichi's back, rush in front of him, and deliver a lightning-fast punch, forcing him back.
At the same time, Gengo bent down and grabbed Narumi Sokichi's dislocated arm. The old detective rolled towards the boy, putting the joint back in place and kicking out, forcing Kamen Rider Fifeteen back further. Then, Gengo and Narumi Sokichi raised the Skull Magnum together, rapidly gathering the 'Skull's' finishing energy into the muzzle and firing the ferocious Skull missiles. One missile attacked Kamen Rider Fifeteen to continue restraining his movements, while the other rushed towards the energy chamber to detonate it, attempting to stop the Bataan plan.
But amidst Kamen Rider Fifeteen's furious roar, a massive crescent slash shattered the missile, and the remaining force sent Gengo and Narumi Shoki flying, embedding them in a nearby pipe. The scorching airflow then slammed the two of them to the ground.
"I...I've had enough of playing with you guys!"
Kamen Rider Fifeteen raised his blade and whispered sharply:
"Now, let your soul be scattered!"
297 Preparing to force their way in
This guy's weapons have become stronger.
Yuanxiang wiped his mouth; he felt a sharp pain there from being hit by the blade's energy.
His numbers have more than doubled.
This is troublesome.
Seeing the murderous aura emanating from Kamen Rider Fifeteen, Gengo's expression turned extremely grim. He gripped the Kamen Rider W card in his hand and began to resonate with the powers of 'Cyclone' and 'Joker' within it...
and many more.
At that moment, Gengo suddenly realized something. He looked at his chest, where the 'Skull' memory was floating. All his transformation power came from this. Even in his soul state, the 'Blank' effect was still partially retained. In that case, should I try to channel the power of the Rider Cards into it?
This is a good idea, and to deal with this enemy who, like Tsukasa Kadoya, can switch between various Rider forms, an eye for an eye is also a good option.
Thinking of this, Gengo took a deep breath and took a step back. Narumi Shokichi understood his idea and decisively pulled the trigger repeatedly, using missiles to restrain the enemy and meet the attack of Kamen Rider Fifeteen, trying to buy some time for the boy. Gengo then punched the ground hard, and the force of the impact repelled the Bataan minions that were attacking him. He then deactivated his transformation and pulled the 'Skull' Memory from his chest.
It was the same pain as having your heart ripped out, but in the soul state, the pain seemed to be greatly reduced. However, these were all irrelevant now. Gengo looked at the cards in his hand and finally took out Godai's card, inserting it into the gap in his heart. This Kamen Rider was his friend, and he had witnessed his abilities before, so he was quite familiar with them. If he could control him, he wouldn't need to spend too much time getting used to it.
“kuuga”
The moment the knight card filled the gap, Genji heard a notification sound in his mind, which was fleeting and the boy paid no attention to it. He focused on the data flowing in his soul, and after realizing that it could indeed be used, he unhesitatingly guided out the knight power.
Then, a transformation belt made of data stream locks appeared around Gengo's waist, which then spread to his limbs, revealing the power of Kamen Rider Kuuga to Gengo.
However, at that very moment, Yuanxiang sensed a certain tremor, a tremor from the depths of his soul. He felt that the suppressed 'evil' and the 'kuuga' belt spirit stone data seemed to resonate with each other, and were being transmitted out through this channel!
"Hmph, you undead, do you really think you'll never die again!"
Kamen Rider Fifeteen stepped on Narumi Sokichi and muttered disdainfully, "This opponent's fighting skills are indeed good, but under the absolute crushing power, skills are just a joke."
However, at that moment, an unimaginable impact suddenly erupted. The scorching heat wave forced Kamen Rider Fifeteen to stagger back several steps, ultimately forcing him to use his weapon to maintain his balance. He looked up in astonishment and saw a black-armored rider with gold trim. His arms and calves were covered with shark-fin-like blades similar to his shoulder armor, and he wore a golden headgear similar to 'Kuuga'. However, the red eyes beneath the headgear flickered wildly like an unstable light bulb. At the same time, all the Bataan members who tried to approach Kamen Rider Kuuga were reduced to ashes, and they couldn't even get within a hundred meters of Gengo.
Kamen Rider Fifeteen knew about this ability, since he also had the 'Kuuga' ability, which is 'supernatural fire'. It is instantaneous, long-range, and extremely hot, capable of decomposing and manipulating matter at the molecular and atomic level, transforming it into a plasma state. Among the fifteen Kamen Riders of the Heisei era, it is an extremely troublesome ability.
But that's not the key point.
Kamen Rider Fifeteen stared intently at Kamen Rider 'Kuuga', or more precisely, at his red eyes. This indicated whether he could overcome the inner shadows triggered by this form. If he failed, it would bring about ultimate darkness and endless slaughter, an enemy that even Kamen Rider Fifeteen didn't really want to face.
However.....
The next second, the red eyes dimmed, and the black compound eyes of the knight were as deep and dark as an abyss, sending chills down one's spine. Kamen Rider Fifeteen involuntarily tightened his grip on the blade in his hand and quickly drew out the power of 'Kuuga'. He would not only be responsible for fighting, but also for protecting the energy pod behind him. It was truly a tough battle.
Just as Kamen Rider Fifeteen was confronting Black Eye Ultimate Kuuga, the 'Kuuga' Lockseed that had fallen to the ground due to the disappearance of the Flame Scarf suddenly flashed, as if it had resonated with the decomposition caused by the supernatural fire. Then, in the next second, in a forest where the trees and flowers were too lush, Yusuke Godai suddenly raised his head, stood up with a look of surprise, and reached out to cover the Rider Belt that had suddenly appeared on its own.
"Master Godai, what's wrong? What happened?"
Beside Godai Yusuke, Kenzaki Kazuma, who had been defeated by the Showa Knights and sealed in the Lockseed, asked in surprise. However, his face was covered with paper strips. This was not a side effect; he had simply lost a card game with Tendou Souji and the others and was covered with them.
"I...I think I can feel the power of Kuuga."
Godai Yusuke gripped the spirit stone on his belt, muttering to himself with an uncertain expression. But his words left everyone around him completely bewildered. This Kuuga belt is right on your body; if you can't feel its power, then something's really wrong.
In response, Momotaros, who was playing a game of slapping hands with the Kamen Rider, instinctively wanted to shout something, but Kamen Rider Stronger-Shigeru reached out and pressed down on the restless Imagin, looking at Yusuke Godai and quietly waiting for him to continue.
"No, it's not my kuuga, but someone else is using my power..."
