I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

On the other side, guided by the flower-lined path, Yuanxiang and the others finally left the trap space and arrived on a sunny plain. Although there was still a forest behind them, it was clearly not the same one they had just seen.

"Oh dear, that was close!"

The voice that had reminded Fujimaru Ritsuka came again from behind Genji and the others. A white-haired young man in a white robe, holding a staff of equal height, appeared there at some point and said with a smile:

"I never expected the Demon God Pillar to have set such a trap. Luckily, I was careful enough to take a closer look, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the task the King gave me."

"Merlin? Merlin, the magician from King Arthur's legends?"

Gensato caught the key words, curiously eyeing him for a moment. After confirming something, he raised an eyebrow in surprise. Merlin seemed to have guessed something, and said with a subtle expression:

"What? You seem surprised by my gender."

"It's nothing, please don't worry about such trivial matters."

Gensho waved his hand, then looked at Merlin and said:

"So you're here to meet us?"

"To be precise, I'm here to meet these two members from Chaldea, as well as this drifting swordsman next to me."

Merlin gently shook his wand in response, while at the same time carefully observing Genji before him. Genji possessed an ability called 'Clairvoyance,' a term that inherently refers to eyes that can see very far. However, upon reaching a certain level, it grants the ability to see the future, the past, or even to see through the present. Merlin, on the other hand, could see through the 'present.'

However, this ability did not work on Gensou. No, not just now, everything about him was shrouded in mystery. This was really interesting. It was just a pity that I didn't have any extra power to waste on this strange boy. Otherwise, the answer I got from him would definitely surprise me.

.......

Well, although it's a pity, let the King of Uruk reveal this surprise. That person possesses the 'All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star,' and can see through even the most deeply hidden truths at a glance. I'm really looking forward to seeing if this young man will surprise the King.

"Alright, don't waste too much time on me. I'm just a guide."

Merlin's thought was very brief. Before Yuanxiang and the others could ask anything else, the white-haired magician pointed in the direction of the sunset and said:

"Let's head in this direction. Your questions should be answered there. Merlin, I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer~~"

After saying that, without giving anyone a chance to stop him, the magician disappeared from everyone's sight. Genji and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at each other in bewilderment, but in the end, they didn't say anything more and continued to move forward in the direction Merlin pointed out. Just as Miyamoto Musashi said, there was no use in just standing there in a daze.

However, after Gensou and his group left, Merlin's voice resounded again in front of the forest. He frowned slightly, and with a slight tremor of his wand, the projection of Kamen Rider 'Luna' appeared before him. With another tremor, the moon yellow was replaced by black. Looking at this pitch-black voice, Merlin's brows furrowed even more. He seemed to have seen this figure somewhere before, in this singularity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Oh dear, this is really troublesome. I just wanted to slack off."

Merlin sighed deeply. He was a half-human, half-dream demon, and quite formidable in terms of his soul. Even so, he was still affected. In that case, he had to be on his guard, or he might lose his life because of it.

While Merlin was getting serious, Genji and his group were also talking about the magician they had just met. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu felt that Merlin was like a young man blowing across the grassland, and that they would involuntarily relax in his presence.

Miyamoto Musashi felt that Merlin was a cool and righteous person, but he seemed to lack a sense of urgency and responsibility. Although he was good-looking, he was not her type.

As Gengo recalled the scene, he became increasingly convinced that the man was a suspicious conman. He felt that the man's every move was filled with an undisguised wicked sense of humor. Even though the man had just helped them, the boy still wanted to remind Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu to be careful when dealing with this guy, lest they be deceived.

Just as Yuanxiang was about to warn them, they suddenly heard the sound of something falling from the sky. Yuanxiang subconsciously looked up and saw a nice-looking butt hurtling towards him. The boy expressionlessly performed a backflip and perfectly intercepted the thing.

314 Chaotic Singularity

The unidentified flying object was falling very fast, and Genji's interception was exceptionally efficient. Miyamoto Musashi had just grasped the hilt of his sword when it was all over. At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu nervously swallowed. The sun had completely set, and night was slowly encroaching on the earth, as if an ominous sign was gradually descending.

"Musashi".

"understood."

Genji whispered something, and Miyamoto Musashi nodded knowingly, took a step back, and drew his twin swords in case anything unexpected happened. The boy then walked towards the direction of the unidentified flying object to see what it was, and then...

Rin Tohsaka?

Although the guy in the pit was dressed quite provocatively, with only underwear-like clothing covering his body except for the over-the-knee sock on his left leg, his few clothes revealed an unexpected solemnity, making him completely unrecognizable as a streetwalker.

Besides, this guy looks just like Rin Tohsaka, they're practically identical. Anyway, let's wake him up and find out what's going on.

After transforming, Gengo stepped down from the pit and squatted beside the girl. He gently patted her beautiful cheek, but seeing that she showed no sign of waking up and seemed to be sleeping even more soundly as he shook her, Gengo expressionlessly raised his hand, which was wrapped in golden ripples. Then, with lightning speed, he slapped the girl's head hard. A bump visibly swelled up quickly, but as the ripples took effect, the bump disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then, clearly, the slap wasn't in vain. The girl who looked like Rin Tohsaka let out a "┗|｀o′|┛ow~~" sound, got up, rubbed her head, and anxiously shouted:

"Who is it! Who hit me?! Was it you?!"

The girl glared at Genji, her eyes filled with annoyance, but after seeing Genji's strange armor, she paused slightly, shrinking back as if frightened, and bared her small fangs menacingly, saying:

"It's not too late to apologize now, otherwise I'll have to unleash divine punishment!"

"No."

Gensho calmly pointed to the sky and said softly:

"Don't you remember? You suddenly fell from the sky and landed on my butt, making such a big dent."

"Huh? Is that so?"

The girl paused, then subconsciously followed the direction Yuanxiang pointed, blinking blankly before pretending to suddenly understand and clapping her hands together, saying:

"Oh... that's how it was done, yes, that's how it was done, oh... I'm really sorry, wait a minute!"

The girl suddenly realized something, covered her head, looked at Gensou, and said:

"Since it's mine...it's mine..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the girl blushed, stammered awkwardly, and instinctively reached her hands behind her back, whispering:

"If my butt hit you, then why does my head hurt?"

"You mean I not only have to be your cushion, but also protect your physical safety?"

Yuanxiang sat cross-legged on the ground, propping his cheek up with his hand, and said with a helpless expression, as if complaining:

"Miss, don't you think this is a bit excessive?"

"This...this is your honor! It's impossible for an ordinary mortal to be hit by my object."

Faced with Gensou's questioning, the girl's attitude inexplicably hardened, stubbornly refusing to back down. But then, her tone suddenly softened, and she whispered:

"However, considering that you have already tried your best, I will forgive your sins."

"........"

Seeing the girl's unnatural demeanor, Gensou silently stroked his chin, seemingly having formed a certain deduction in his mind. He then lowered his head slightly and said:

"Thank you for your understanding. You are such a kind child."

"Hmph, it's not about being understanding; I'm simply making decisions that are appropriate for my position."

The girl gave a soft hum and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, but Gensou also noticed that the girl was glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. This dishonesty attitude was clearly a textbook example of 'tsundere'.

"I understand. I misunderstood you. I still have companions outside the pit. I'll go report that I'm safe and sound. See you later."

Having reached this conclusion, Gengo decisively ended the conversation, ignoring the girl's 'you could praise me a little more' look, and went to find Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others. Although the unidentified girl seemed harmless at the moment, and Gengo was confident that he could handle her, it was always better to be cautious in this mysterious singularity.

Of course, although this girl looks very similar to Rin Tohsaka, she is definitely not Rin Tohsaka. Apart from being identical in terms of being tsundere, everything else, such as temperament, is completely different, which cannot be faked.

"Yuanxiang, you...you really are..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't spell things out directly, but everyone understood what she meant. After all, Genji had just used the power of 'Luna' to transmit his conversation with the girl in its entirety. So, what the Master was really saying was that Genji was truly 'all talk and no action'. Of course, this wasn't meant to be sarcastic.

"What's the big deal?"

Miyamoto Musashi spoke up for Genji in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Given the current situation, Brother Yuanxiang's response is perfect. Hehe, I wish I could be as fluent as him someday."

While both were worried about being overheard by the girl, Miyamoto Musashi's explanation was vague, while Genji waved his hand to indicate that the topic should be left unsaid, then pointed behind him and said:

"They seem harmless right now, so I think it's worth trying to get along with them for a while."

"Then let's do it your way."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded in response:

"Yuanxiang, your decision is definitely right, um... why can't you come to my country?"

Everyone tacitly agreed, including Mashu, ignoring Fujimaru Ritsuka's sudden illness and walking towards the pit. When they saw the girl emerge from the pit, Mashu's eyes widened in surprise, and Miyamoto Musashi was also stunned. They really didn't expect this person's outfit to be so bold, but they couldn't deny that it was indeed full of charm.

"This is Mash, this is Miyamoto Musashi, and that is the Chaldea Master Fujimaru Ritsuka..."

Gensou quickly introduced his companions, then looked at the girl and said:

"By the way, we've never had the chance to ask your real name. Would you mind telling us?"

"What?! You don't recognize him...."

Upon hearing the question, the girl exclaimed in surprise, but then, as if struck by a thought, she nodded and muttered to herself:

"That's true. I've heard of Chaldea and all that. It's understandable that we don't recognize people from outside this world. In that case, then you'd better remember them well!"

The girl jumped backward, landing on a protruding rock, causing Yuanxiang and the others to look up at her, and also making her long, shapely legs appear even more graceful.

"I am Ming... cough cough, I am the goddess Ishtar! Mortals, you must not forget or misunderstand my name!"

"Ishtar!"

Upon hearing this answer, Mashu gasped in surprise. After learning the location of this singularity, Chaldea had provided Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu with relevant training, which naturally included related historical and mythological knowledge. In Mesopotamian mythology, Ishtar is the goddess representing beauty, harvest, and battle. Legend has it that she is the goddess most favored by the gods—no, the goddess most beloved by the gods. She never expected to meet her in this way.

"Oh? It seems you've heard of my name, but have never seen my face?"

For some reason, Ishtar didn't react much to Mash, and Genji felt that her words at this moment were more like a perfunctory routine.

"Alright, as a reward, judging from your appearance, you probably want to go to Uruk, so I'll give you a little guidance."

"Thank you so much."

Genji temporarily suppressed his doubts and followed the goddess's steps. At the same time, he exchanged a glance with Fujimaru Ritsuka and started chatting enthusiastically with Ishtar. At first, the goddess was quite resistant... no, to be more accurate, she was aloof and responded to the two's attempts to strike up a conversation only half-heartedly.

But as new terms entered her ears, the goddess began to ask questions. Gradually, laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air. She was particularly interested in the experiences of Genji and Miyamoto Musashi, since their adventures were far more exciting than those of the two Chaldea members who had just set off.

In response, Miyamoto Musashi casually shared everything she had seen. As a drifter who could 'disappear' between worlds at any time, her knowledge was probably even richer than Genji's, while Genji was secretly organizing the information he had extracted from Ishtar.

First, it seems that Uruk knows about the existence of 'Chaldea,' whether through the priests' divination or the king's 'prophecy' is unknown for now. As for Merlin, who came to guide Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, the goddess seems completely unaware of his existence, which is quite intriguing. In any case, the British court magician clearly stated the key point that Genji could obtain other memories through Command Seals. If he lied about his identity, then the complexity of this matter will increase significantly.

Secondly, the Mesopotamian region is currently quite unsettled. Although they can now walk leisurely and safely across the desolate wilderness at night, it is extremely dangerous for the original inhabitants. Monsters roam the entire region, and if it weren't for the King of Uruk expending enormous resources to build a strong defensive line to keep those monsters out, the ordinary people here would probably have been devoured long ago.

The reason why such a defensive line has been able to survive the onslaught of monsters to this day is twofold: firstly, it is due to the bravery and skill of the soldiers, and secondly, it is due to the Servants summoned by Gilgamesh, the King of Uruk. These heroes, whose deeds are etched in human history, have played a cornerstone role and made indelible contributions in this long struggle.

However, Gengo was quite surprised. According to Fujimaru Ritsuka, the creation of a singularity must be due to the existence of a distortion point centered on the 'Holy Grail'. But... that Holy Grail now seems to be in the hands of the King of Uruk. If that's the case... how could this singularity cause such a big commotion?

After confirming they had exhausted all information on Ishtar, Genji and Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged bewildered glances. If they could contact Chaldea now, they might be able to get some analytical support, but now...

We'll have to wait until Uruk to discuss it further.

The boy and girl sighed helplessly. Too many clues were stuck in Uruk, and the next steps could only be solved there.

But.....
