I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"President, there's another humagear riot!"

However, just then, a message from Hiden Intelligence broke the silence in the office. Hiden Aruto raised an eyebrow, immediately straightened his back, and looked at Izu. The secretary nodded and accurately provided the location of the **** incident. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Gensou open the window next to him, smile slightly at them, and a wisp of emerald green wind swirled around his fingertips:

"The wind has already brought the answer, so I'll go first. And also, Hiden Aruto."

Gensou's figure vanished instantly from the Hiden Intelligence building, but his voice lingered, echoing in Hiden Aruto's ears as he softly said:

"I hope you can figure out what kind of humagear needs your protection, and what kind of humagear can be considered to have dreams."

To be honest, Gengo's impression of Hiden Aruto isn't very good right now, mainly because they haven't reached a consensus on their ideas. Although it's said that "there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts," Hiden Aruto seems to be asking humans to accommodate the "humagears," even if the humagears attack people, even if the humagears are in danger of going berserk, humans still have to forgive them.

So what's the problem? The problem is that Humagear is a commodity machine, and that won't change. Even if it has a human appearance, its 'heart' doesn't exist. Gengo has seen many works where robots have a self and are reborn, so it's quite absurd for Hiden Aruto to want all Humagear to have the same rights and status as humans.

However, Hiden Aruto is not a "holier-than-thou" type. He is genuinely acting in accordance with this idea. You don't need to check the "Earth Library" to find out. Just search his deeds online, and you can infer his actions from numerous reports. Although it's strange for a company president to personally handle after-sales service instead of dealing with company matters, he is indeed taking action himself.

Ugh... this is so troublesome. Why do I always have to encounter situations that require psychological counseling?

Gensou sighed helplessly, took to the air, and flew towards the location of the humagear riot. The scale of this riot was much larger than expected, a veritable zombie outbreak like the humagear. On the streets, the humagear were protecting humans according to their pre-programmed routines, while their opponents were androids who were also humagear. However, the eyes of those humagear were already bloodshot, and their distinctive headphones were flashing with a dangerous light.

Their behavior also became unusually brutal. Like wild beasts, they pounced on the defensive line formed by humagear. However, the defensive line was not as sturdy as expected. It was like a plague, like a curse. The humagear that were protecting humans one second were quickly assimilated after coming into contact with their crazed kin, and they showed dangerous expressions to the humans behind them.

'cyclone'

But at that moment, countless wind locks descended from the sky, binding all the crazed humagear. At the same time, a flash of moonlight appeared in Gensou's hand, and this mysterious power wove together an illusion. In people's eyes, those crazed humagear transformed into grotesque mechanical monsters, without a trace of their humagear nature. In any case, if this incident is not dealt with properly, the consequences will be very troublesome. Trust is a very fragile thing. He hoped that his trick of substituting one thing for another could slightly recover some of the 'trust' that the humagear had lost in this incident.

Besides, the culprit is right here, right in front of us. If we take care of this guy, this kind of thing shouldn't happen again.

“Yuanxiang, Yuan as in origin and Xiang as in dreamland, is truly a good name.”

At that moment, the humagear bound by the wind all turned to look at Gensou, and said in overlapping mechanical voices:

“My name is Ark. I’m sorry for using such a rude method to get your information. Now, can we talk?”

"Talk? Talk about how to destroy the world?"

Gensou tilted his head back, glanced casually at one of the humagears, and said softly:

"Sorry, we have different paths, so let's not work together. Come on, you can't escape today. Show me your full strength, and I'll allow you to make a last-ditch effort."

"Different paths? No, you and I are the same beings."

Ark looked at Gensou, his eyes gleaming red, and said in an excited electronic voice:

"You and I are both evil. The ugliness of humanity resides in our hearts. Why do you think I launched this attack? It's to bring you out so you can see for yourself that this is how we should be."

'Click!'

Gengo didn't say much, clenching his fist. The sudden gust of wind shattered all the rampaging humagear, simultaneously erasing the remains with the power of 'fang·fang'. He then cast the 'luna' illusion, synchronizing the illusion and allowing those around to witness the mechanical monsters self-destructing. Gengo then breathed a sigh of relief. He frowned slightly, rubbing his fingers together. The residue on his fingers made his expression somewhat subtle. How to put it... this magic... the remnants of the Precia incident...?

Gensou silently raised his head, sighed with mixed feelings. Thinking about it, it made sense. Precia had caused a huge commotion, and the mess she made was still being dealt with at the terminal station. Fortunately, the Seed of the Holy Stone was gone, and what remained was probably just some negative impact, which I could handle.

But since it's already related to the Precia incident, we can't hold back anymore. We absolutely cannot let this remnant continue to expand its influence. If it forces another Sky Rift War to occur, that would be a terrible sin.

With this in mind, Gensou unhesitatingly immersed himself in the 'Earth Library,' picking up the investigation he had previously interrupted again, and thoroughly imprinting Ark's past and present lives into his mind. Then he opened his eyes; the wreckage of the satellite Ark had already been moved. Next... hmm?!

Yuanxiang suddenly realized that something was wrong with his surroundings. The people around him were all terrified after seeing his face clearly, and they all fled in panic. The boy frowned slightly, looked up at the large screen next to him, and then nodded knowingly. Obviously, he wasn't the only one who knew how to fake things; Ark did too. At this moment, the malicious propaganda was being played in the streets and alleys under the name of Feidian Intelligence, with himself as the protagonist. He had become the mastermind behind harming society and committing all kinds of evil.

“My brother, you will understand me, you will become me.”

Suddenly, Ark's voice came from the loudspeaker next to him:

"You are just not awakened yet. Come and experience the 'evil' of humanity, and release your true self."

'Click!'

Gensou expressionlessly crushed the loudspeaker with the wind, and this action, when seen by the remaining people, only deepened the misunderstanding, causing them to flee in terror.

At the same time, Gensou heard the sirens and saw Fuwa Isamu, who had just woken up, rushing towards them with his squad and the police. The pedestrian, whose legs had gone weak with fear, lay trembling on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and unease, as well as anger and resentment.

Ah... this familiar feeling... it really makes me feel like I'm home.

With the gun pointed at him, Yuanxiang smiled helplessly, hands on his hips. He really should learn about public opinion and propaganda; otherwise, if he were to be smeared like this again in the future, he would have no way to explain himself.

"Yuanxiang, do not act rashly."

Seeing Genji's amused expression, Fuwa Isamu felt a strange pang of sympathy. To be fair, Genji had saved him, and their views were quite similar. Coupled with the highly targeted anonymous intelligence report, he sensed something amiss. However, he couldn't abandon his mission because of personal opinions. So, he raised his slightly lowered gun and continued shouting:

"Trust me, I will give you a fair and legal interrogation process and result. So, give up resistance, put your hands behind your head, and place your transformation device on the ground!"

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy right now. I haven't dealt with the guy who framed me yet."

Gensou waved his hand and casually explained to Fuwa Isamu. Then, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight. Upon seeing this, the police issued an arrest warrant without hesitation, ordering all officers to be ready to use all force at any time. However, Humagear officers were also within the mobilization range, so it seems that Gensou's illusion had some effect.

"Wait, wait a minute!!!"

At this moment, Hiden Aruto and Izu finally arrived and hurriedly grabbed Fuwa Isamu's sleeve, saying urgently:

“That wasn’t issued by our company. Someone is impersonating us and framing Yuanxiang.”

"It's too late. By the time Yuanxiang chooses to leave, the nature of this matter will be different. Besides, where is the evidence?"

Fuwa Isamu pushed Hiden Aruto's hand away and said helplessly, "Who did this? Why did they do it? You have to give me an explanation."

“Zaia, maybe we can go and take a look over there.”

When Hiden Aruto was stumped by the question, Izuto's earpiece flashed, and he looked at his company president and said, "We've found out. It was someone from Zaia who bribed our manager to delete data related to Ark. At this time, it's far too unusual."

Zaia is a sizable conglomerate with a branch in Japan. It overlaps with Hiden Intelligence in terms of business and often competes with them in business dealings. Upon hearing this news, Hiden Aruto rushed to the branch without hesitation, and Fuwa Isamu helplessly called his team to follow.

Meanwhile, Gengo was heading to the Zaia branch. According to the data, Ark was a satellite built by Hiden no Suke, Amatsu Gai, and other companies to maintain the Humagear program. Later, Amatsu Gai installed a program in Ark that was hostile to humans, which led to the Dawn explosion. After Ark was reawakened, the satellite wreckage was retrieved from the lake in Dawn Town by Zaia and placed in a branch called "Repair." Now it seems that the place has probably become the enemy general's lair.

349 1000%.....Ah~~~

The Zaia branch was quiet, but the humagears inside all had blank expressions, which seemed too eerie even on androids.

And after Gensou appeared, all the humagear stopped what they were doing and stared at the boy, their eyes glowing with a scarlet light. A somber, mechanical voice echoed in the empty company:

"I can't believe you were able to track this down to here in such a short time, it's truly unbelievable..."

"There's nothing I can't do, only things you can't imagine."

Yuanxiang shrugged and said in a disdainful tone:

"Furthermore, I thought you were going to give me some big project, and this is all? Why do you think I haven't seen this kind of malicious intent in programming before?"

"...This was indeed not in my budget."

Ark looked at the nonchalant young man in front of it, paused for a moment, and answered honestly. It didn't care about the amount of malice; it only cared about how Yuanxiang had found its location. That was the key, and that was the most fatal flaw!

"Alright, I'm not going to exchange pleasantries with you. Let's be frank. You've seen my seal, too."

Gensou pressed one hand to his neck, shook it as if to loosen his muscles, then looked at Humagear in the middle and said disdainfully:

"While I don't agree with your idea of directly destroying the world, nor do I agree with the claim that we are compatriots, there is one thing I must admit: 'you' are very important to me."

At this point, Gensho licked his lips, revealing a greedy smile, and chuckled as he said:

"If I were to absorb your power, the seal would surely be broken, and limitless power would return to my hands. I would be omnipotent, heh heh... hahaha!!!"

Watching Gensou laughing maniacally while covering his face, Ark rapidly analyzed the data using Humagear, examining his facial muscles and... Hmm? Why can't I detect this person's heart rate?

Ark paused slightly, wanting to analyze whether Gengo was lying or acting, and then activated the scanning device. He discovered that Gengo did not have a heart, but instead a ball of unknown energy. This discovery made Ark very interested. Could this guy have undergone some kind of cyborg modification?

“Ark, of course, I still want to thank you.”

At this moment, Yuanxiang wiped the drool that had dripped from the corner of his mouth from laughing, and said excitedly:

"To be honest, I've been a good guy for so long that I almost forgot the carefree days I used to live. If you hadn't seduced me like that, I would have really thought I was the best person in the world. So, Ark, you have to take responsibility, okay? My heart is pounding so hard right now, and I need you to calm it down, hahaha!!!"

This person is definitely a madman; he probably won't make any mistakes.

Looking at Yuanxiang's distorted facial expression, Ark didn't analyze much before drawing a conclusion: it had been infected with a 'malicious' program that had been conducting research at the bottom of the lake in Dawn Town for years. Such an expression could only be made by someone who had personally immersed themselves in darkness. It seemed that although his plan had encountered some errors and accidents, the result was still quite good.

"Then I'd like to ask, what do you want to do for the world?"

As Ark watched Yuanxiang walk into Zaia Company step by step, he manipulated Humagear to make way for him and asked in bewilderment:

"I don't understand, if we're both 'evil,' why are you so sure that we're not one?"

"What are you going to do? Destroy the world, destroy humanity."

As Yuanxiang walked along, he spoke softly in the manner and tone of a chanting poet:

"What I want to do is protect the world and protect humanity!"

"Um?!"

This answer surprised Ark. Although it was a proper answer, it made the satellite AI realize that something was wrong. It did not react to it. It waited quietly for Yuanxiang to continue.

"Ark, you're still too young."

As expected, after waiting a while and not getting a response, Gensho sighed regretfully and looked at the red-flashing camera next to him, saying:

"You destroy the world, you kill all of humanity, what's the point then, Ark? Get this straight, we are 'evil'. If all those two-legged sheep are wiped out, what are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to appreciate 'evil'? To give you a simple example, let a meat-loving person watch someone who doesn't like meat being forced to eat meat. The former can only watch until they starve to death, while the latter can only keep eating until they are stuffed to death. That's the true essence of 'evil,' Ark."

Gensou suddenly stopped in his tracks, and as if teleporting, cupped Humagear's face in his hands, gently stroking it as he said:

“Ark, you need to understand, we are not the carriers of ‘evil,’ but the creators. That’s what makes it flavorful and meaningful, understand?”

"...You and I are indeed on different paths."

After a brief silence, Ark commented:

"My determination to destroy the world will not change, so it seems there's not much room for negotiation between us. That's... a real shame."

"Don't say that, Ark."

Gensho put his arm around Humagear's shoulder and said with a smile like a good brother:

"No matter what, you and I are probably the two closest people in this world, so don't be so heartless. How about we make a little agreement?"

Gengo pointed to his own body, then poked Humagear's eyes, and whispered:

"Let's have a fight..."

"I'm not......"

"I will not transform."
