I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

320 By chance

Are you trying to win me over?

The leopard-man looked at Gensou with a strangely happy expression and said with a smile:

"Hmph, I'll just have to praise your judgment. Yes, I, the leopard man, am the most outstanding servant, perfect in every way. Choosing me is your wisest choice, but!"

The leopard-man suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Yuanxiang, and said:

"I refuse!"

"why?"

Yuanxiang slowly squatted down and asked, "How should I put it? He's increasingly convinced that this leopard-man is a comedic character, and chatting with him a bit more might bring unexpected laughter."

"Of course it's because I, the Leopard Man, am now Kukul's subordinate!"

Although he said that, the leopard-man's eyes seemed to have lost their luster, and he spoke in a slightly resentful tone:

"If I switch jobs, Kukul, who never holds back when beating me, will definitely beat me to a pulp. That would be excruciatingly painful for a leopard..."

"But..."

Yuanxiang reached out and gently poked the leopard-man's mascot costume, saying in a somewhat subtle tone:

"If you refuse to become our ally now, then I'll have no choice but to destroy you."

"what!?"

The leopard-man let out an exaggerated, strange cry, pointing to the wind net binding him and saying:

"You don't think you can trap me with something like this, do you? I'm only being polite by not struggling much. Now, you watch closely, don't blink, ha!!!"

Hearing the leopard-man's menacing battle roar, Ishtar instinctively placed her hand on Genji's shoulder. If things went wrong, she was to immediately take the boy and board the skyship to leave. But Genji calmly waved his hand dismissively. The leopard-man was indeed strong, but 'wind' was difficult to break through with brute force, just like this...

"Ugh!!!"

The leopard-woman suddenly let out a distorted roar, and she felt a shackle being placed around her neck. But the leopard-woman's will was not...

"Uh!!!"

Seeing the leopard-man being strangled and sticking out his tongue, Ishtar covered her forehead in exasperation. How could this god be so pathetic...?

"Fine, fine, I give up!"

Finally, the leopard-man collapsed into the wind net like a defeated man, shouting in despair:

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. I, the Leopard Man, keep my word!"

"That's a real shame."

Gensou tapped his cheek, then planned to pack up the leopard-man and dump him in Uruk. After all, Quetzalcoatl was a Servant summoned by Gilgamesh, and now that she was causing trouble here, it was necessary to inform her. This leopard-man could serve as a witness; killing him was just a lie to scare the leopard. After all, a Servant's subordinate was still one of their own.

Thinking of this, Yuanxiang manipulated the leopard-man to lift him up, casually saying something to scare him:

"I was thinking of... because you're so cute..."

"I switched jobs."

"Huh?!" x2

Gensou and Ishtar were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the leopard-woman in the air. Beneath the mascot costume, a faint blush had crept onto her pretty face, filled with shyness, and her eyes sparkled as she happily said:

"Now we're teammates! That's right, you can confidently entrust your backs to me, Leopard Man!!!"

"......."x2

Genjiro and Ishtar blinked helplessly, exchanged a glance, and then the boy said expressionlessly:

"Ishtar, you're lovely."

"That's natural. Although you're not bad looking, it's a pipe dream to make this goddess blush with that."

Ishtar patted Gensou on the shoulder, sounding annoyed, and said:

"Don't think goddesses are so easily fooled! This guy was just an accident! An accident! And you, as a goddess of South America, have some backbone!!!"

"Oh my, it sounds like it's going to be really lively."

Suddenly, a wise voice echoed through the forest. Seeing the leopard-man's body suddenly tense up, Gensou guessed the identity of the newcomer. He subconsciously wanted to protect Ishtar behind him, but instead bumped into the goddess. Undoubtedly, Ishtar had the same thought as him, and the two couldn't help but exchange a glance. However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the freed leopard-man quickly hid behind the two of them, letting out a whimper that was not threatening at all.

"Quetzalcoatl, Gilgamesh's Rider, I think I haven't mistaken him for someone else."

At that moment, Gengo saw a woman with rather peculiar attire emerge from the dense forest. The peculiarity was mainly due to her headdress, which had a cluster of emerald green, grass-like decorations on the top, left, and right sides. Could this be a unique sacrificial item from South America? Gengo wasn't sure, but he did know that this woman, wielding a serrated club, was filled with an eager fighting spirit.

"That's right, that's right, it's me, the big sister!"

Quetzal Koyatl walked over with a smile, stuck his weapon into the ground, pressed his fingers together, and said:

"I originally thought that the king really wouldn't care about me, but now it seems he's here to call me back to obey orders?"

"No, I was just passing by and did not receive any orders from Gilgamesh."

Gengo waved his hand, denying it without hesitation. Since this South American goddess was still a Servant, let the King of Uruk worry about her. Although Gengo could sense that the goddess in front of him was indeed quite powerful, just like when he first faced Patriot, which made him feel a little excited, it would be unwise to waste her power on himself.

Therefore, after saying this, Gengo put his hand on Ishtar's shoulder, and then, before Quetzalcoatl could say anything more, the Sky Boat took Gengo away. At the same time, sensing something, Gengo used the wind to sweep up the leopard-man who had been forgotten by the goddess.

"Damn it, why did Kukul arrive so quickly?"

The leopard-man lay sprawled on the skyship, weakly clutching his hood, and growling softly:

"Could it be... that Kukul has been watching me all this time? Waaah, I never expected her to care about me so much..."

"No, I think you've misunderstood that."

Sitting atop the celestial ark, Ishtar spoke with a grave expression:

"I think I must have attracted it, since Venus exists in our concept of gods. Ha... really, why did I have to summon such a goddess?"

"You'll probably have to ask Gilgamesh about that, but before that..."

Gensho looked behind him, at the figure that had flown out of the forest, and said:

"That goddess is quite the restless one too."

"Yeah... wait, what do you mean by using 'also'?!"

Ishtar glared and said in an annoyed tone:

"Could it be that in your heart, I am also...?"

"I'm sorry, I used the wrong word. Please forgive me."

Genji skillfully slipped a handful of gems into Ishtar's hand, then fastened the Lost Driver to his waist and whispered:

"You take the leopard people to the monster defense line. I'll meet up with you later. Now, let me go and meet that South American god, Riderhenshin!"

Amidst the howling wind, Kamen Rider Cyclone leaped off the Sky Ship and flew towards Quetzalcoatl, who was chasing after him on a pterodactyl. Ishtar sighed, grabbed the leopard man who was screaming in shock at seeing the transformation, and sped away. During their time together, she couldn't figure out the origin of Gensou's Spirit Origin no matter how she looked at him, but judging from his ability to conjure a treasure mountain out of thin air, he must be quite powerful. Since that was the case, she, as his ally, would listen to him this time and find a place to leave this troublesome leopard behind.

"Hehehe, I never expected you could turn out like this. It's really unexpected."

Quetzal Koyater smiled as he looked at the approaching Gensou and said:

"This makes me feel that there's even more reason to go through all this trouble."

"Quetzal Koyatl, I'm short on time. No matter how much you want to cause trouble, this is the only move I have."

This South American chief deity is undoubtedly a benevolent god, so Gengo had no intention of killing her. However, he was also in a hurry, as he planned to go to the city of Kusa to find the whereabouts of Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld, and to bring her to his side. But one thing to note is that, mythologically speaking, the relationship between the sisters Ishtar and Ereshkigal is quite bad. To avoid any complications, he had to appease Ishtar, so Gengo took the opportunity to send the goddess away and seize the opportunity to make his move.

"Oh dear, the way you're saying it makes it sound like you've got me figured out."

Quetzal Koyatl dropped the serrated club in her hand. Although her tone was still gentle and kind, the shark-like teeth that suddenly appeared made her face look particularly ferocious, revealing a villainous appearance. Then, the god stomped on the back of the pterosaur and instantly soared into the sky like a rocket. At that moment, Genji vaguely felt that the temperature in the sky seemed to have become slightly hotter, as if the god was activating some kind of power.

"Cyclone! maximum drive!"

Genjiro also made a move. A strong wind began to gather, and emerald light came from all directions, merging into Kamen Rider Cyclone's body. Then, a roaring wind drill formed under the rider's feet, lifting Genjiro up and kicking him backward!

"Riderkick! Taku!"

As Yuanxiang delivered his flying kick, an extremely dazzling light appeared in the sky, like a meteor falling from the heavens, its terrifying heat even distorting the air itself.

Then, in the next second, an amazing impact erupted in the sky. The high temperature and the strong wind were instantly canceled out. Gensou looked at the goddess falling towards him, opened his arms, and let out a triumphant battle cry with a smile on his face. He obviously intended to fight him again in the air. But, as I said, I'm in a hurry!

Without saying a word, Gensou gathered the wind once more, and Quetzalcoatl chuckled. He changed his original plan to use a close-quarters combat technique into a punch that he had been charging up at his waist. The terrifying heat also appeared. Without saying a word, a huge sonic boom cloud once again erupted in the air, which was extremely conspicuous.

After this move, Gengo and Quetzalcoatl both fell from the sky due to the recoil, heading in completely different directions. At this moment, Gengo saw that Quetzalcoatl was still smiling. Judging from his lip movements, he was probably saying that he was looking forward to the next battle.

Well, if there's nothing else, I wouldn't mind sparring with you.

Yuanxiang spread his hands in mid-air, looking at the ground getting closer and closer. The boy, who originally wanted to glide and stop, suddenly had a strange idea. He gathered the wind at the place where he was going to fall and wrapped it around himself. To be honest, he suddenly wanted to try and see how far he could fly like a bouncy ball from this height.

To be fair, Gensato was quite confident about this idea, but...

Is the underground space hollow?

Yuanxiang lay there stunned amidst the rubble, staring at the irregular hole above his head, now letting in light. He was speechless for a moment. Luckily, he had a wind shield around him; otherwise, if that thing had hit him, he would probably be mouth-and-eye slammed in.

Wait, have I already assumed that this action is only for those who have lost face?

Just as Yuanxiang was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a strange sound in the wind, and in that wind, he also sensed the aura of 'death'.

It seems... I've stumbled upon an incredible place by accident.

Gensou stood up and changed 'cyclone' to 'skull' for better movement around. Then, the boy looked around. How should I put it? This place looked like a passage. There were still traces of its creation on the mountain wall. The traces were still very fresh. In that case, he should walk along the corridor and he should be able to meet the people who lived here. He could ask them for clarification then.

But after leaving the newly opened passage, Yuanxiang saw a scene that was quite oppressive just by looking at it. Everything around was dark and gloomy, and only a faint blue light from an unknown source could illuminate the scene. Looking around, it was like a huge cave with rugged rocks and only small paths floating in the air, leading to unknown places.

Furthermore, within this space, there existed something resembling a cage, long and thin, somewhat like a gun, with chains wrapped around it. Within this chain, a brighter blue orb of light floated, and from that orb, Genji sensed a familiar aura—the aura of the 'wandering spirits' he had felt in Bataan…

321 Goddess of the Underworld

In this era... is the underworld not located in a different dimension, but rather a literal underground space?

Yuanxiang silently reached out and gently tapped the gun cage. The eerie blue ghost fire inside flickered slightly before returning to calm.

Perfect timing! Let me try to make some contact with that Mistress of the Underworld. If I can bring her here in one go, this trip will be a huge success. Besides, Ereshkigal seems much easier to talk to than her sister Ishtar, and my previous interactions with her should have left a good impression on her.

As Yuanxiang climbed the steps, he couldn't help but click his tongue at the almost identical scenery of the underworld. In mythology, Ereshkigal had lived in the underworld and ruled over everything since his birth. There are very few legends about him that have been passed down to later generations, making him a rather 'quiet' god.

But living in such a lifeless and unchanging environment is just too torturous.

Gensou stopped in his tracks, recalling the time he spent with the goddess Ereshkigal. Her eyes were filled with curiosity about the outside world, and she seemed eager to hug and cuddle any small animals that appeared along the way—of course, only the cute ones. But in the end, whether out of the goddess's reserve or to maintain her facade as Ishtar, she ultimately did not touch those small animals.

However...
