I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Little animals.....

After rubbing his fingers together and thinking for a moment, Genji grabbed at the air and sensed the power contained within. He shook his head helplessly. Such dense death energy, even if it was created using 'Luna'... Wait!

It was only then that Gengo suddenly realized a very important question: could he create life using 'Luna'? To be honest, he had never really thought about this question before. The boy took out the 'Luna' memory and began to use his power to try to condense the phantom of the 'white mouse' and solidify it. But all he got in his hands was a warm, soft piece of flesh. No matter how Gengo tried, the little mouse could not open its eyes and just kept scurrying around.

In the end, Gensou gave up on the test, watching as the rat's body turned into a corpse under the corrosive influence of death energy.

Suddenly, Gensou sensed something and pushed back sharply, re-importing the data of 'skull' into his body, allowing 'death' to take over his existence. At the same moment, terrifying ghostly shadows swept past him. These undead, their exteriors enveloped in eerie blue flames and their skeletons faintly visible within, seemed to be guardians of this underworld. He didn't know if it was the power of 'luna' or his own aura of the living that had attracted them.

However, this also proves that in the 'skull' state, one's movements in this underworld are indeed highly concealed.

After watching the ghostly guards patrol the area around him twice, Yuanxiang left without initiating any exclusionary actions or setting any traps. This made him think that he might be able to try to find Ereshkigal directly.

With this thought in mind, Gensou carefully walked along these suspended paths into the depths of the underworld. He vaguely remembered hearing the myths that Kirisu-sensei had heard. It seemed that to reach the abode of the underworld god, one had to pass through seven doors. Those seven doors were the doors of justice and reason, to inquire about the good and evil of souls. In the myths, Ishtar was stripped of her powers as a god by those seven doors and was eventually killed by Ereshkigal.

but......

Yuanxiang stood at the crossroads, silently looking towards the road to his left. On that road stood the legendary Seven Gates, but...

Genji looked to his right. Although it couldn't even compare to Ishtar's impoverished temple, that should be Ereshkigal's temple, so...

Did I skip directly to the next level?

The boy couldn't help but take off the Pale Flame hat, rub the bare knight's helmet, and then proudly puffed out his chest.

As expected of me, I'm as lucky as ever!

Since we're already here, let's go take a look and see what that goddess is doing right now.

"Ughhhh!!!"

As they made their way from the source village toward the temple, Ereshkigal was scratching his head furiously at a pile of gun cages before him. These cages were where the souls of the dead were kept, but alas, had too many people died lately?!

Ereshkigal lay sprawled on the gun cage like a salted fish, letting out a soft sigh. Although there were guards in the Underworld, they could only patrol; everything else had to be done personally. And this gun cage couldn't be shoddy, otherwise the guards might not be comfortable inside. But alas…

I really want to go up and take a look. Judging by the time, it should be evening soon, or at least very soon!

Earthly beings, having witnessed the splendor of the heavens, always linger, and Ereshkigal is no exception. Although she is well aware of the weight of her responsibilities as the goddess of the underworld and is willing to sacrifice everything for it, the thought of nightfall, when she can use her foolish sister's body to appear outside the underworld, to see things she has never seen before, and to converse with those souls who can still speak, is simply too addictive. It is only after experiencing these things that she finds the deathly silence and loneliness of the underworld all the more unbearable.

"Ereshkigal, do you need any help?"

"Oh, please help me move these things out."

At the sudden sound behind her, Ereshkigal, whose mind was still outside the underworld, subconsciously pointed to the gun cage next to her and muttered something, then continued to rest her head on the cage in front of her, lost in thought. However, she immediately realized what was happening, exclaimed in surprise, and turned around to see who had appeared behind her.

But

This gun cage thing, right?

It is round

In her panic, Ereshkigal reached out to brace herself, clearly disrupting the balance of the pile of iron contraptions. In the next second, amidst a clattering noise, the blonde goddess of the underworld fell backward onto the gun cage, letting out a pitiful cry.

"Ereshkigal, are you alright?"

Gensou really wanted to stop her, and he was capable of doing so, but that would ruin the image the goddess had always maintained. In front of someone who had witnessed her in such a state of disarray, even if she wanted to maintain her composure, the thought of that scene made Gensou feel embarrassed. In a sense, this would allow him to take the initiative in the ensuing conversation by being on equal footing with her, or even above her.

Of course, this little scheme was based on the premise that the goddess wouldn't get angry. However, Yuanxiang was confident that he could control the situation. Although it wasn't appropriate to say it like that, after spending that night together, he felt that the goddess of the underworld seemed quite easy to appease.

"Who are you! How dare you frighten the god of the underworld! Do you even know... waaaaaah!"

Noticing that Yuanxiang was staring at her in her current embarrassing state, Ereshkigal angrily stood up from the spear cage. At the same time, a golden bolt of lightning flashed in the underworld and landed in her hand as a spear, ready to unleash divine punishment on the impudent person before her. However, Ereshkigal's anger and shame vanished instantly when a bouquet of flowers came into view. She stared blankly at the colorful bouquet. Although she didn't know its name, the colors and vitality were too abnormal in the underworld. If she hadn't smelled the fragrance of the flowers, she would have thought it was just an illusion.

"Ereshkigal, please forgive my rudeness."

At this moment, Gensho said in a sincere tone:

"But my means are limited, and I cannot preserve the beauty and fragrance of the flowers in this great underworld for long. I can only trespass into your temple in such a rude and reckless manner and offer you this sacrifice without permission. I sincerely hope to receive your forgiveness."

"Ah...ah, cough cough!!!"

Ereshkigal stared intently at the bouquet of flowers, almost greedily absorbing the sensory stimulation they brought. She only gave perfunctory replies to Genji's words. However, being the mistress of the Underworld, she quickly regained her composure, coughed twice, composed herself, and looked at Genji seriously, saying:

"Are you my believer? Very well, I accept your faith. Judging from your appearance, you must already be a spirit. As a reward for you, I will carefully build a cage to properly store your soul."

“No, Ereshkigal, I am not dead. What? We just met yesterday, and you can’t recognize my voice now?”

Gensou deactivated his transformation, smiling as he waved the bouquet of flowers at the dumbfounded Ereshkigal. Then, he made a checkmark with his fingers, rested it on his chin, and looked Ereshkigal up and down, saying:

"I never expected you to look like this. You're so cute! Even though it's just a different hair color, this simple change makes you feel completely different."

"You... Yuanxiang... you!!!"

To be honest, even if Ereshkigal were to headbutt Ishtar's chest, she would never have imagined that the person who came was a friend she had just met the night before. Coupled with this slightly flirtatious yet sincere praise, she felt her entire face burning.

The next second, a dense aura of death erupted, and howling magic whipped up a crimson whirlwind that obscured Genji's vision. Then, a gigantic skeleton appeared before the boy. It had no legs, its lower body ending at its tailbone, and its skull was draped in a silver-white veil. Its joints revealed an ominous crimson. This enormous evil spirit stared at Genji with ferocious eyes and roared:

"Even when facing my true form, could you still utter such praise?!"

"Um..."

Yuanxiang looked at the enormous skeleton before him, pointed to his own eyes that shimmered with a moon-yellow light, and said:

"Illusions mean nothing to me. I can see through all of this. Just like now, your true form is on the skull... Ah, now it's moved to your stomach, and then to your left hand. Ugh!! Is this bone really real? Doesn't your head hurt?"

Seeing Ereshkigal hurriedly move away as soon as he pointed it out, only to end up bumping her head against her jaw, Gensou reached out and caught the goddess who had stunned him. For a moment, he was at a loss for words. In a sense, the two sisters were completely opposite.

"Yuanxiang, what brings you here..."

Having repeatedly made a fool of herself, Ereshkigal could no longer maintain her goddess-like dignity. She covered her face with her hands, like an ostrich burying its head in the ground, and whispered in complete resignation:

"You should at least have given me a heads-up before you came. You should have shown some consideration for my status as the Goddess of the Underworld."

"I'm so sorry, to be honest, I originally wanted to visit you in your city, but something unexpected happened. I had a fight with Rider and fell from the sky, landing right here here."

Gensou placed Ereshkigal on the ground, then sat on the nearby rock and looked at the goddess, saying:

"The guards here look pretty tough, so I used 'Skull' to switch forms and get in. Um..."

At this point, Yuanxiang smiled honestly, scratched his head, and said:

"I only meant to scare you a little, but it seems I've gone too far now."

"Of course it's excessive!"

Ereshkigal angrily raised his head and looked at Gensou, saying:

"Do you know how scared I was just now? I almost died! If this happened to any other mortal, it would definitely have to be punished by the gods!"

"sorry Sorry."

Yuanxiang clasped his hands together and sincerely apologized, saying:

"I'm used to playing pranks with my friends, and I didn't break the habit when I was with you, which made you unhappy. I'm really sorry."

"Ah... my friend... um...."

This answer made Ereshkigal pause slightly, awkwardly turning his head and muttering a couple of things to himself. Then he nodded to himself, his smile brightening. He stood up, spun around twice as if searching for something, and then lightning, representing divine punishment, struck, clearing a set of stone table and chairs from the nearby open space. He then invited Gensou to speak:

"Ahem, since you're already here, please have a seat."

"I can't sit here anymore. I have things to do here and won't be staying for long."

Gensou waved his hand, refusing Ereshkigal, then handed the flowers to the goddess and said softly:

"I actually came to see you with something, but I've changed my mind, Ereshkigal. How about you try to cooperate with me and see if I can get you out of the underworld?"

322 The Goddess of the Underworld, 'Freedom'

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Ereshkigal looked at Genji with concern, feeling as if her hand might press against the boy's forehead at any moment to check if he was delirious with fever. However, out of modesty, she lowered her hand and said helplessly:

"I am the god of the underworld, and wherever I set foot, death pervades. Do you want me to appear in the real world to destroy it?"

"The reason why death spread out like that is mainly due to your divine power."

Faced with Ereshkigal's rebuttal, Genji calmly observed the goddess and said softly:

"If that's the case, then don't use this body of yours anymore. Why not consider making a puppet to carry your consciousness? Or is it that you, Ereshkigal, can't multitask?"

"How is that possible!"

Ereshkigal frowned in displeasure, puffed out his chest, and said confidently:

"It's just a matter of using one thing for two purposes; how could such a small thing stump me! But have you considered this question?"

Ereshkigal looked earnestly at Gensou and said:

"I am a god, the god who rules the underworld. Although I am now in the form of a servant, with the blessing of the underworld, my power is not to be underestimated. I can use puppets to embody my will..."

Is this okay?

Just as Ereshkigal was about to clarify the facts and make the man in front of him understand the kind of nonsense he was concocting, the next second, before Ereshkigal could even finish speaking, the boy clapped his hands, held the solidified flesh in his hands to the side like a cane, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said softly:

"As expected of a god's body, replicating it must be quite a feat."

"what?"

Ereshkigal stared wide-eyed at the closed-eyed 'Ishtar,' his finger trembling as he pointed at Gensou and said:

"You...you...you killed this idiot who only had eyes for jewels, just like me?"

"Didn't I already say that I copied it?"

Gensou twirled the 'luna' in his hand and said helplessly:

"Don't underestimate my memory. In a sense, this is still its territory."

"This...is truly unbelievable."

Ereshkigal leaned closer and poked 'Ishtar's' face, but a layer of light blocked it out. Clearly, some kind of protection was maintaining the body's survival, preventing it from being killed by the death aura of the underworld.

"Um... what should we do next?"

As things progressed to this point, Ereshkigal's eyes lit up. In any case, the boy before her seemed capable of fulfilling her wish to personally venture beyond the Underworld. Genji didn't delay either; he took a deep breath, regulating the magical power within his body. However, with this significant expenditure, he could clearly sense that the magical power used to maintain his Servant form indeed came from the heavens and earth. This was a discovery that gave him mixed feelings. On one hand, he could use this to fight as much as possible, just like using his real body. On the other hand, if someone found a way to sever his connection with the heavens and earth, he might suddenly die in the next second.

Go back and talk to Ritsuka.

Genji thought to himself, after all, she was a true Master and knew far more about Servants than he, a half-baked one. He wondered if she had a way to solve this problem. At the same time, the boy's hands didn't stop moving. His arm was completely blank, with the 'Luna' Memory pulsating inside. Then, looking at Ereshkigal, who was curiously examining his arm, Genji said in a deep voice:

"Don't resist, don't increase my magic consumption. If we fail, I'm worried something unexpected might happen."

"Mmm!!!"

Hearing this, Ereshkigal obediently sat on the rock, watching Gensou extend his transparent arm towards her. Then, a bright moon appeared behind the boy, so realistic it seemed as if a real satellite had been plucked from the sky and placed there. At the same time, Ereshkigal felt a force gradually eroding her body under the moonlight; something... a soul-like substance was being slowly drawn out. To be honest, this feeling wasn't painful at all, like someone tickling her. She couldn't help but want to stand up and move around, rubbing her arm, but Ereshkigal ultimately suppressed this urge, pursing her lips and waiting for Gensou to finish.
