"Hmm, I think I understand."

Gengo quietly recounted the encounter with the memory-bearing monster doll to Tsukasa Kadoya. The destroyer of the world pondered for a moment, then nodded and whispered:

"Give me the whole illusion, and I'll go investigate what's going on. No matter what the outcome, I'll definitely come back when you leave the amusement park."

"Okay, be careful. If anything happens, remember to contact me."

Hearing Gengo's words of advice, Tsukasa Kadoya instinctively wanted to say, "Who do you take me for?" But then he thought of the strange and monstrous things the boy had encountered, so he swallowed his words and quietly left.

372 Where is my country?

After Gengo and the others had enjoyed all the rides on their group tickets at the amusement park, Tsukasa Kadoya also rejoined the group. While fiddling with his camera, he said softly:

"It's nothing serious. It's just that some rich people in Tokyo were so bored that they collected the Gaia Memories from the 'museum' and set up a kind of arena, betting on the Memories monsters and Kamen Riders, with the time it takes to resolve the incident as the deadline, to see who could bet correctly. But now they can't cause any more trouble. I destroyed all the Gaia Memories they had. Ha... I have to say, some people have too much money and they lose their brains."

"You'll get used to it. You've seen a lot of weirdos like this, so it's not surprising anymore."

Genji calmly said in a soft voice, then gently bumped Tsukasa Kadoya's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Would you like to stay here tonight? I've already prepared your magenta cottage."

"Wow, you actually managed to make this happen."

Kadoya Tsukasa slapped Gengo, exasperated, then after a moment's thought, silently shook his head and said:

"Let's skip this one. I've been away for quite a while this time, and Xia Hai is probably going to nag me to death. By the way, I don't think I've introduced Xia Hai to you yet. I'll go visit him when I have time. He's also very eager to meet you."

"Okay, of course, no problem. But... are you leaving already?"

Gengo sensed something from Kadoya Tsukasa's tone, raised an eyebrow, and said softly:

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"This trip is just a simple visit, just to meet up. You care about Fengdu, but the old folks are also thinking about other places, so they'll still be very worried if you're away for too long."

Tsukasa Kadoya pressed the shutter, taking a picture of the group of people in front of him. But when the photo came out, everything in it was blurry and distorted. He didn't care much, put the photo away, and put his arm around Gengo's neck. The two of them tilted their heads back and made peace signs and bright smiles at the camera. At the moment the shutter was pressed, although Gengo felt an invisible force like needles hitting him, he could resist this repulsive force when he first met Tsukasa Kadoya. There was no reason why he couldn't handle it now.

So when the photo was developed, even though everything around it was still blurry, Gengo and Tsukasa Kadoya in the very center were incredibly clear. Tsukasa Kadoya smiled as he carefully put the photo away, then waved to Gengo and walked towards Takeshi Hongo and the others. These Kamen Riders were brought by him, so they should obediently follow him. Of course, he hadn't forgotten about Aruto Hiden; he'd find some time to go see that little president who kept saying "Ume."

"We won't bother you any longer."

Back at the office, Jotaro Kujo glanced at the time and took his leave. After all, his and Josuke Higashikata's visit was impromptu, and if they disappeared for a whole day, the old man would probably rush back from America in a panic. Although Jotaro Kujo thought that would be a good opportunity to have some fun with him, it would be too bad if it interfered with their business. So he took Josuke Higashikata's hand and said goodbye to Gengo. Josuke Higashikata also waved goodbye to Danju, Kuri, Kanao Tsuyuri, and Kagaya Ubuyashiki's children. It has to be said, this kid is really obedient.

"Ahem, well, we should be going now."

At this moment, Wendy coughed awkwardly and said softly that he really wanted to stay and continue playing. After all, Wind City was a very interesting place with many things he had never seen before. However, if he stayed too long, he might have a lot of fun, but when he returned to Mondstadt, he might be blocked at the gate by the Knights of Favonius. In any case, Klee was the darling of his own group, and it was quite brave of him to take her and run away on his own.

"From a general rational point of view, it is indeed time to leave. After all, the Hall of Rebirth is still very busy these days. I still need to assist the Hall Master with the Emperor's funeral, so I can't stay too long."

These words were sincere. Zhongli had also witnessed Hu Tao's energy in this matter. In the past two days, she even had the idea that "it's rare for the Emperor to die, so if we don't take this opportunity to do something different," and if she didn't hurry back to check on things, Zhongli was really afraid that she would cause some kind of trouble at her own funeral.

"Brother Yuanxiang, I'll come find you to play after I'm out of confinement!!"

Klee, however, was fully prepared. She clenched her little fists and said firmly, as if to encourage herself:

"Don't worry, they've already moved all the bouncing bombs, so Captain Jean definitely won't find them!"

"Where...did you hide?"

Seeing Klee's confident demeanor, Genji became genuinely curious. He crouched down and asked softly. Klee puffed out her chest and proudly replied:

“Brother Kaeya said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, so Klee hid all the bombs in the dark room, so Jean will definitely not be caught.”

I remember Barbara mentioning that Jean would personally check on Klee in the solitary confinement room, just in case she was frightened by rats or something while in solitary confinement...

EMMM......

Forget it, let's just pretend I don't know anything about it.

Yuanxiang smiled as she watched Zhongli Wendy leave with the little one. With nothing else to do, Yuanxiang happily set out a table full of dishes and enjoyed a lively meal with everyone. After chatting idly on the sofa for a while, the office fell silent as night deepened. All the guests had left, leaving only Yuanxiang and the Cangxuan and Danzhu sisters. At this moment, Cangxuan was still basking in the exhilaration of her debate with Shi Huaiya. It had to be said, the feeling of defeating an expert in making money was incredibly satisfying!

But Cangxuan's smugness only lasted a moment. When Yuanxiang's muffled coughing sounded, she and Danzhu appeared beside the boy, looking worriedly at Yuanxiang, who was clutching his chest and coughing as if he were about to cough up his internal organs. He hadn't coughed once all day and seemed no different from an ordinary person, but Cangxuan and Danzhu still noticed the occasional movement in his throat and understood that he was just holding it in. Now, seeing him like this, Cangxuan and Danzhu were really worried that something might happen to him.

"Don't worry about me, you should all be used to it by now, cough cough cough!!!"

Yuanxiang coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood, smiled at the two sisters, then stood up unsteadily and reached for his coat.

"Are you going out again?"

Danzhu stared blankly at Yuanxiang, then quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist, saying:

"What are you still busy with looking like this? Shouldn't you be resting earlier!"

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing. You don't need to worry about it. Go and rest. I'll be right back."

Yuanxiang gently pulled Danzhu's hand away and placed it in Cangxuan's hand. Then he turned around, pushed open the radiant door, and headed to another world.

Looking at the howling wind and snow-covered plains before him, Gensou snapped his fingers, signaling 'Cyclone' to search for Talulah and the others, and then sped off.

However, Yuanxiang didn't come to play with Talulah and the others this time. Instead, he did some simple thinking. Although the ice plains were not valued in Ursus and few people paid attention to their movements, Ursus had lost its inner guard and its dukes on this land. New infected were also banding together and were about to establish their own bases in mobile city-states. The young man believed that this was enough to draw the attention of some people in Ursus to this place. Don't think of the enemy as too stupid. Just because an empire has become corrupt does not mean that there are no smart people in it.

As Yuanxiang passed by the mobile city, he saw the infected people handing over their work, repairing the city day and night. Although their movements were somewhat clumsy and awkward, their eyes shone with a sense of belonging that was taking root and growing in their hearts. They listened to Talulah's manifesto, Alina's guidance, and the Patriots' battle cry. In the wind and snow, they finally found the hope they had been searching for, even though it was only the beginning. But isn't everything difficult at the beginning?

Yuanxiang didn't disturb them, but continued to hover in the sky, pushing the power of 'Cyclone' to its limit. Every wisp of wind blowing across the earth was his eye and his ear. Under such direct gaze, what could escape his perception?

the answer is negative.

Outside the mobile city-state, black military overcoats stood like banners in the blizzard. Every snowflake that landed on them was stained black, as if easily tainted. They stood like wooden stakes on the plain. After a long while, one of them spoke, his voice as if assimilated by the cold wind, making one shiver involuntarily:

"This mobile city-state should be ready to move by tomorrow night. We'll just drive it into the glacier and drown it. You guys must hold off Patriot. It's a real shame that this is supposed to be a symbol of Ursus's glory, yet it's stuck with a bunch of infected, disgracing the late emperor... Hmm?"

At this point, the guards who had spoken suddenly noticed something amiss. The snowflakes in their field of vision had all turned black. A certain tremor ran through their bodies as a result. This was not a warning of impending crisis, but rather a desperate feeling that arose from their hearts due to their inability to act in time.

"tread"

At that moment, soft footsteps came from the side. The guards looked up and saw a ghostly figure suddenly appear on the open ground not far to their left. The boy, dressed in thin clothes, seemed to be just passing by, slowly moving forward from left to right.

"tread"

"tread"

"tread"

Who are you?!

But things were far from that simple. The guards could feel that with each step the boy took, the pressure they felt increased several times over. If he continued to walk, they might really lose their will to fight and succumb to the aura of this unknown person.

"......"

The boy didn't speak, but simply stopped, slowly turned around, his face as cold as ice.

"Let's do it."

Without further negotiation, the guards simply stared at the young man and felt a shock to their hearts, a sharp pain in their chests. Without hesitation, they began their hunt, their first move being their signature 'Kingdom'.

but.....

Why.....

No response...

The guards exchanged silent glances. They were certain that they had activated the 'Kingdom' and that the 'Being' within their bodies had responded to their actions, yet they had not gained the power of the 'Kingdom' as a result.

Just then, the guards sensed it, sensed the 'Kingdom,' but this familiar aura did not come from their bodies, but from the howling wind and snow, from the air they breathed. Everything before their eyes began to change. Like molten lava, 'evil' instantly sealed off the area. The guards watched in horror as countless hideous faces appeared behind the boy, and as his footsteps left scarlet marks, as if venom had invaded their veins and spread, corroding the white earth.

It was only then that the guards realized that this was not the 'Kingdom' at all, but the 'Kingdom' had no power to resist this mysterious realm.

"May I ask who you are?"

The guards were eager to find out who the newcomer was. Although they realized that this person might be the murderer who killed their comrade who had been sent here last time, they could only pretend to be confused and pretend not to know about this matter. Otherwise, their death would undoubtedly be a loss to Ursus's combat strength.

Meanwhile, the guards were also praying, praying that this seemingly boyish being was communicative and not a demon possessing their body; otherwise, they would die meaninglessly today, unable to even send a message back to the great Ursus.

"RiderHenshin!"

However, when faced with the question from the inner guards, Gengo merely murmured indifferently. Then, a muddy crimson energy emerged from his body, transforming into black and white armor amidst distorted faces and shrill wails. This scene made the inner guards turn pale. They felt their rationality undergoing some terrible test, and the dark side in their hearts was rapidly expanding. The negative emotions that almost drove them mad nearly made them raise their weapons and strike their comrades. Just as the inner guards were on the verge of collapse, Gengo suddenly shook his arm, and a crimson wave spread out. With a deep sound effect, the transformation was complete.

"Singurise! Destruction! Shattered!! Despair! Perish! Conclusion One (Singularity upgrade, destruction! Destruction! Despair! Perish! The only conclusion)."

"Ark!"

373 Collapse of mountains

The exposed compound eyes glowed a chilling crimson. In that instant, the guards lost all control of their bodies. Their instincts overwhelmed their will, leaving them standing there helplessly. They stared blankly as the terrifying warrior in black and white armor slowly walked towards them. His left hand rested on the driver, and his thumb gently pressed the button on top of the driver. Immediately, a black and red energy vortex appeared out of thin air, drawing endless malice into the deep red gem of the Ark Driver at its center. At the same time, a few scattered crimson lightning bolts pierced the air, leaving craters in the ground.

"Malice!"

The driver emitted a deep sound, and as Genji pressed the button again, the energy vortex reappeared, accompanied by another sound effect:

"Terror!"

At this moment, the leader of the Ursus guards finally regained control of his body temporarily within this evil domain. He silently drew his weapon and attacked Gensou with all his might, intending to interrupt this terrifying unknown ability. However, Gensou did not react to this and simply continued to press the button.

"Anger!"

At this moment, the energy vortex, visible to the naked eye, was not black and red, but pitch black like dark clouds. This instantly amplified the unease in the inner guard's heart. He steadied himself and hurriedly unleashed a move, but this lightning-fast attack showed no sign of hitting Yuanxiang. He was quite certain that his killing move aimed at Yuanxiang had landed on empty air. He blinked, looking at Yuanxiang who continued to walk forward as if he had never stopped. His first thought was that he was hallucinating and had been distracted by it, causing him to strike the wrong spot.

However, the other guards saw clearly that in that instant, the unknown newcomer moved his feet and perfectly avoided the attack.

"Abhor (hatred)!"

Another deep sound rang out, like a declaration from the abyss. The guards turned again, their eyes fixed on Genji's neck, but at that moment...

"Despair!"

A deep vortex injected malice into the driver, and the scattered lightning transformed into black bars resembling electronic patterns. Genji gently patted the side of the driver, releasing intense malicious energy from his entire body before concentrating it within himself. He expressionlessly raised his foot, then brought it down again, this time filled with malice. Instantly, the earth shook violently! A literal earthquake.

The guards stared in disbelief as a dark red fissure in the earth rapidly spread outwards from the footsteps of Yuanxiang. Countless dark red characters representing 'evil' spread from the fissure, though they couldn't understand them, their meaning was self-evident. They watched in stunned silence as the fissure disappeared from sight. Then, a hill in their view suddenly appeared covered with dense, spiderweb-like scarlet cracks, which exploded in the next second. The hill, which even the guards would need some time to traverse, vanished into nothingness. After the explosion, only a few specks of dust and smoke remained in the air, a testament to its existence.

"Perfect Conclusion! Learning Five!"

Just then, the driver's finishing sound effect ended. Genji silently turned around and looked at the guard who was holding a weapon, still in a slashing motion, but frozen in place. He silently raised his hand, pointing it towards the direction where the hill should have been.

Then, the guards saw the hill appear as a line again in the hazy light, as if it had never been blown up.

Is it just my imagination?

Is it a hallucination?

The guard glanced down at the still-blackened crack, even without the flow of malicious energy, and already knew his answer. Yuanxiang turned back to the guard holding the weapon. This time, the sharp weapon fell from the guard's hand, landing on the frozen ground with a muffled groan. The Ursus warrior in the black military coat lowered his head slightly and whispered:

"What does Your Excellency wish us to do?"

The guards knew perfectly well that the only reason they were still alive was because they still held some value to this lord. They had no chance of winning against him, so... even if it meant losing the glory of the Ursus guards, losing their respect and honor, they had to bow their heads, accept the favor from the enemy, and live on in shame. In any case, they had to let Ursus know that such a powerful being existed here.
