I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

The man laughed in a way that was more like a grimace, and following his gaze, all that could be seen were craters everywhere. At that moment, Yuanxiang suddenly understood that the goddess had probably wiped out the ranch and its livestock along with the monsters. No wonder there was a smell of roasted meat in the air.

"Guest, did you know? Before today, I actually had a lot of savings..."

Ok?

This puzzled Yuanxiang. Could it be that the goddess's aim was so terrible that she even blew up your house?!

However, the man's house did still exist. But in this era where gods still walked through time, if a god helped you, you had to offer sacrifices, especially Ishtar, a god quite famous in this region. The rancher offered generous sacrifices, because if the sacrifices were meager and displeased the god, it would be quite troublesome. As a result, the rancher, who was originally quite wealthy, suddenly became penniless. Thinking about his future life, he felt despair.

"Ishtar?"

Regarding this deity, Senji Muramasa also explained it after arriving in Uruk. When Gilgamesh summoned the Heroic Spirits, the priests of Uruk also held a summoning ritual, hoping to have the deity descend to resolve the crisis they encountered at that time. Ishtar appeared as a result. However, the situation of that deity was somewhat similar to that of Senji Muramasa, as she descended by possessing the body of a girl from who-knows-where.

Ishtar's pampering and her discord with Gilgamesh allow this goddess to roam freely in the world, just like the time Gensou encountered her; you never know when you might run into her.

"I understand. Please live on strongly. These are for you, so you can start anew."

Gengo comforted the rancher and at the same time used 'Luna' to create 'real' treasures for him. These treasures were probably because 'Luna' herself was here, so even if Gengo left this era, these things would not turn into 'illusion', and could be said to be genuine hard currency.

"Guest, I am truly grateful. Please leave your name, and I will offer you my sincerest blessings every morning at sunrise."

"No need, no need. Please leave first. If there are other wandering magical beasts, you will be in great danger after I leave."

After watching the weeping rancher leave, Gensou unfolded a map and looked towards the mountainous area. According to the rancher, the goddess Ishtar had gone in this direction, and perhaps her resting place was over there.

As Mr. Muramasa has also said, given the current situation where the number of Servants has been greatly reduced and the summoning ritual cannot be carried out, it would be a great thing to be able to bring that god to their side. Unfortunately, it is simply impossible for Gilgamesh and Ishtar to calmly discuss cooperation.

Since that's the case, then I'll just go and negotiate. The person the god wants to cooperate with is me, not Gilgamesh. If we can reach an agreement, all she has to do is join forces with humans to defeat the Demon Pillar. After all this, the god should be able to accept it, right?

but.....

Speaking of Ishtar, Gensou couldn't help but think of the goddess he encountered that night. If his knowledge of mythology wasn't wrong, that should be Ishtar's sister—Ereshkigal, a native Mesopotamian goddess. The mistress of the underworld, the ruler of death and the dead, the guardian deity of the city of Kusa. To be honest, that underworld goddess was much easier to get along with. Maybe he should change his plans, and after finding Ishtar, go to Kusa and try to bring the goddess of the underworld over here.

As Yuanxiang pondered this, he flew towards the mountainous area. Soon, he found a different place. Putting aside the temple on the mountain, the two huge lucky cat statues standing in front of the mountain gate made Yuanxiang subconsciously conclude that this was Ishtar's dwelling place. How to put it, after the goddess descended, she seemed to be quite obsessed with treasures and the like. Just when he was leaving the city, Yuanxiang heard the passing priests muttering about how many treasures they would have to offer as sacrifices before Ishtar would hear their prayers.

"Ishtar, are you there?"

Gensou descended from the sky and stood before the mountain gate, directly calling out the goddess's true name. At that moment, the boy sensed a change in the 'wind.' From the highest point of the temple, a golden figure flew out. The goddess he had seen before sat atop a magnificent, enormous, bow-like structure, coldly looking down at Gensou. She slightly swayed her hair and said in a cold voice:

"Mortals, since you've come to worship the gods, you should devoutly ascend the steps, not let the gods..."

'Bang!'

Before Ishtar could finish speaking, Gensou made a gesture as if he were carrying something empty-handed, tossing it to the ground beside him. Then, with a crisp clinking sound, flawless gems appeared out of thin air, cascading onto the ground. The bright sunlight shone upon them, refracting them into a rainbow of colors that entered Ishtar's eyes. The goddess's expression faltered slightly, and her tone softened a little:

"Although I was impolite, I truly felt your faith in the gods. Alright, I forgive you. You can go back now..."

'Bang!'

As Ishtar spoke, Genji threw down another pile of gems, three times more than before. The goddess blinked blankly, her flight altitude involuntarily decreasing slightly. Noticing this, Genji didn't hesitate to throw down another pile until the goddess, still dazed, descended to the ground, roughly the same height as the boy. Only then did Genji stop, smiling as he said:

"God Ishtar, may I ask you for a favor?"

318 (Laughs)

"what....."

However, Ishtar didn't react much to Genji's question. She stared blankly at the gems that had covered the small square in front of the mountain gate. Genji noticed that she seemed to be trying very hard to control her saliva, but under the reflected light, he could still see some crystalline liquid glistening in her slightly parted cherry lips.

Genji was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, and all the gems transformed from 'real' to 'illusory'. In that instant, a piercing, indescribable scream made Genji involuntarily turn his head away, wanting to get further away from this goddess. But the next second, the boy was grabbed by the collar and lifted up. With a slight lowering of his head, he could see Ishtar's exaggeratedly expressive face. Even a real demon would be afraid of her.

"Where's my jewel... my jewel!!!"

A wail, seemingly from hell, rang in Gengo's ears, though the words carried a hint of grievance, like a child being teased by an adult. Gengo looked at the goddess who seemed about to tear him apart in the next second and silently used 'luna' to record her appearance at that moment. It was secondary to teasing Ishtar afterward; the main thing was that if he encountered Rin Tohsaka again when he visited Ilya's place in the future and muttered about his youthful face, this little gadget would come in handy.

"Hey~~~ You're listening to me, right....."

At this moment, Ishtar's tone became even more terrifying. Genji calmly pointed to his collar, which had been pulled up, and remained silent, staring at the goddess. After a brief standoff, Ishtar obediently placed Genji back on the ground, smoothing out the boy's wrinkled collar and patting it lightly twice. She waited quietly, but her crimson eyes were rapidly gathering dissatisfaction and anger. If Genji couldn't give her a satisfactory 'answer,' this place would soon become a battleground for the gods!

Of course, Gensou wouldn't provoke the goddess in this matter. With a wave of his hand, gems cascaded down behind him like a waterfall. At the same time, Gensou gracefully gestured for her to enter. However, before that, the goddess in front of him cheered and rushed into the waterfall.

“Goddess Ishtar, if I remember correctly, you should have just received offerings from your followers, right?”

While Ishtar was lost in the jewels, the 'cyclone' she sent out brought back the information Genji wanted. The exquisitely crafted mountain temple before him was practically empty; even rats would have to leave some food there out of pity. Genji was truly puzzled by this scene and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Or is this not your temple, and I've come to the wrong place?"

"This is of course my temple!"

Ishtar, clutching a handful of jewels in one hand, stood up arrogantly, tilted her head back, and said:

"Tell me, on this land, who else but me can receive the veneration of mortals on Mount Ebif? That's right, only I, favored by the gods, Ishtar, Awooohohoho!!!!"

Amidst Ishtar's affected laughter, Gensou glanced at the temple again and murmured:

"Since this is your temple, why is it so shabby inside? It feels as if someone has chipped away at the treasures embedded in the temple walls. Has some audacious thief offended this place?"

'Gah...'

The laughter abruptly stopped, and Ishtar silently turned her face to the side. Then, she flew out again and said in an arrogant tone:

"Alright, mortal, I have received your offerings, and I am quite satisfied with them. Now, tell me what you desire, and I will grant it for you."

"Any request is acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Gensou's curiosity was piqued, and he casually asked, "What do you mean?" Ishtar raised an eyebrow and replied in a tone of exasperation and disdain:

"If you're thinking of using this opportunity to confess your feelings to me, you'd better give up now. I! Ishtar! Will absolutely not..."

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."

Genji waved his hand expressionlessly, interrupting Ishtar, and said:

"Although you are indeed very beautiful, I am not in the mood for romance right now."

"what?!"

Ishtar glared at him, her tone a mixture of displeasure and threat:

"Do you know who's standing in front of you?! Are you belittling my charm or demeaning my appearance?"

"Ishtar... she really is a capricious god, I can't keep up with her train of thought at all."

"That's right, I... wait, you're talking badly about me, aren't you!"

Upon hearing Gensou's complaints, Ishtar apparently subconsciously made a selective selection, but immediately realized something was wrong and became fierce again, revealing her dangerous little fangs. However, as another pile of gems came crashing down, those sharp teeth retracted, and she became a goddess who could continue to communicate.

"Goddess Ishtar, I hope you will form an alliance with me to protect humanity in this world and thwart the Demon Pillars' conspiracy."

Yuanxiang revealed the purpose of his trip, saying sincerely:

"I believe that with your keen intuition, you have already sensed my heroic spirit form, but the crisis I have encountered this time has exceeded my imagination. Therefore, God Ishtar, I hope to receive your help."

"Huh? Ah....."

Ishtar paused, to be honest, she had been so focused on the jewels that she hadn't even noticed the Genji Servant. But since he had already brought it up, she couldn't reveal that now. So the goddess crossed her arms and nodded vigorously, saying:

"That's right, that's right, I already saw through your origins. Hmph, you're the one Gilgamesh summoned, aren't you? Hahahaha, is that golden king actually... or is he... um?"

Ishtar's tone gradually rose, like an opera about to reach its climax, expressing her unbridled emotions. But at that moment, she felt something poking her. She frowned slightly, looked down, and saw Genji withdraw his hand from her ankle, revealing a somewhat embarrassed smile. At that moment, Ishtar suddenly realized something and quietly waited for what would happen next. How to put it? Although she still didn't know this Servant's true name, he had brought many surprises, surprises in every sense of the word.

"I am not a Servant summoned by Gilgamesh."

Yuanxiang explained softly, afraid that his voice might upset her:

"I think I was directly pulled here by something similar to humanity."

"...You really are...amazing."

Ishtar hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice. She didn't think the boy was lying. In any case, he had been honest about seeking an alliance so far, although some of his words made her feel a little angry, but she couldn't deny that.

"Alright, let's just pretend you're not Gilgamesh's Servant."

Despite having already admitted it in her heart, the goddess, still stubbornly insisting on denying it, waved her hand, letting the matter drop. Then, with her arms crossed, she floated in mid-air as if sitting in a rocking chair and said:

"However, since you've come seeking an alliance, you should know what that means. It's tantamount to me standing directly against the Demon God Pillar. Well, although I don't particularly like the aura of that thing, that's not a reason for them to become my enemies."

You need to pay more!!

Looking at Ishtar, who was holding a strand of her hair twirled between her fingers, Gensou accurately read her unspoken message. The young man smiled slightly and pointed to the mountains and temple behind him, saying:

“If God Ishtar is willing, I can offer the same gems as this mountain and the temple. Look this way.”

As Genji spoke, he pointed to the small hill beside him. Then, the power of 'Luna' was activated at high power, and a full moon appeared above the mountain. In the hazy moonlight, 'illusion' began to emanate, creating the same phantom. Then, the power of 'reality' began to operate, and a complete and enormous mountain gem appeared in reality. After completing all this, Genji breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and looked at Ishtar, saying:

"So? Are you satisfied with this deposit?"

"....May I have your name?"

Ishtar looked at the mountain of gems, closed her eyes, and asked softly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Gengo, Fuuto Detective and Kamen Rider."

"Very good, I've got it!"

Ishtar suddenly opened her eyes, and with an extremely excited tone, grabbed Genji's shoulders and said:

“Yuanxiang, rejoice! For now, the goddess Ishtar has granted you permission to become her most loyal priest, residing in her temple. It is only natural for a goddess to help her most beloved priest.”

"Excuse me, I am an atheist."

Yuanxiang understood Ishtar's thoughts perfectly well, and obediently raised his hand, saying:

"To be frank, in other worlds I have slain many self-proclaimed gods, so I am truly unwilling to serve you, for that would inevitably remind me of those filthy beings. However, you can rest assured that if I survive this battle, I will do everything in my power to fulfill your desire for treasures."

"...This is such a eloquent little mouth."

Ishtar squinted, pinched Gensou's chin, and shook it slightly from side to side. After releasing him, she said listlessly:

"Fine, I'll forgive you for this offense, considering you're from another world."

"Thank you... um?"

However, before Gensou could finish speaking, the boy saw a foot sticking out. He looked up and saw Ishtar, her eyes gleaming with mischief, smiling as she said:

"Since you want to form an alliance with me, then kneel down and kiss the back of my feet. I am now considered a servant, so let's formally sign the contract according to the rules for servants."

No, no, no, that's not how contracts between Servants are signed, and I'm not a Master.

Gensou's lips twitched slightly as he inwardly complained, but he also understood that Ishtar was just making up an excuse to punish him for refusing the gods' favor.

Indeed, that was the case. Ishtar was a little angry that she, as a god, hadn't gained any advantage after this person arrived. In addition, this boy possessed the ability of the 'Golden Gate' that was probably no less than Gilgamesh's in terms of minerals, and she had failed to take him in. Thinking of this, Ishtar felt heartbroken.

That's the 'King's Treasury,' practically overflowing with weapons, rare items, the prototypes of all technologies—the very essence of human wisdom—treasures, and the prototypes of numerous Noble Phantasms. It's a treasure trove everyone dreams of, and now, it's right before my eyes...

No, no, I can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, my heart will break!
