I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

This term is likely unique to island nations, but it doesn't literally refer to the number of eight million gods. Rather, it refers to the island nation's unique "monster concept" that truly supports the meaning of "eight million."

This refers to the belief that "all things have spirits." Due to a sense of awe towards nature and animals, Japanese culture almost universally refers to unseen, intangible, and uncontrollable forces as yokai (or deities).

Even old objects that have been around for a long time occupy a place in the world of yokai as "tsukumogami" (spirits or deities). This is why there are many yokai like abandoned houses, empty drums, abacus makers, tofu monks, and bone umbrellas in Japanese yokai legends.

"Don't tell me that the Eye Soul contains the 'Eight Million Gods'..."

After considering the concept of 'eight million gods', Gensou's eyelids twitched involuntarily. If he had to fight that eye soul, he would be fighting against the entire history and civilization of the island nation. Although this region was not as historically significant as the Yanhuang Great Country on the other side, it was still quite long relative to a person's lifespan. In short, this was truly deadly.

"To be precise, the eye soul on that stone tablet is just a key."

Tenkuuji Ryu, feeling the pressure from the source village, gritted his teeth and continued:

"The initial goal of the Great Sky Temple was to guard this Eye Soul. According to the ancestral teachings, a brave and skilled warrior sealed all the gods, monsters, and Eye Demons that were causing trouble and harming the world here. In order to prevent this power from being used by others, it was split into two and sealed separately. Even the successors of the Great Sky Temple do not know the whereabouts of the other key."

"But now the situation with that Eye Soul Key seems to be a bit bad."

Yuanxiang thought for a moment, then said with a somewhat complicated expression:

"Even I, a layman, can see that if this problem isn't solved soon, it might fall apart."

"Regarding this... I am truly ashamed."

Ryu Tenkuji sighed, his voice bitter as he said:

"It might last a little longer, but you also saw that stone tablet. Although I haven't seen it in detail, according to the information left by our ancestors, it should be the passage between the world of the Eye Demon and the real world. Years ago, when the Eye Demon began to invade the real world, our ancestors couldn't hold on any longer and could only use that key as a medium to seal it, thus stopping such a terrible attack."

"So, those eye demons were here to destroy the seal?"

Gensou raised an eyebrow, but then thought that there was no Eye Soul Key in the future Great Sky Temple, and there was no sign that the stone tablet was a passage for the Eye Demon to attack. This calmed the boy down, and he waited quietly for the Sky Temple Dragon to continue.

"No, that seal cannot be removed."

Sky Temple Ryu shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Over the long years, the Eye Soul Key has become firmly attached to the stone tablet, which has been suppressed by the half-key to a very... stable state. It seems unlikely that the Eye Demon could use it as a passage."

"......"

Gengo silently rubbed his fingers together. If Tenkuji Ryu didn't follow up, he would have to consider using the power of 'Luna' to remove him.

"But... it's a coincidence, no, it should be said that it was prophesied."

At this moment, Tenkuji Ryu said with emotion:

"That warrior seemed to have foreseen this day. He told our ancestors that when the seal was about to collapse, fate would bring a new warrior to resolve the aftermath. We just need to wait patiently. Ah, the original text left by our ancestors wasn't exactly like that, but the meaning is definitely correct."

"Did that soldier leave any other messages?"

Upon hearing the word "fate," Genji's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked thoughtfully in a soft voice, while Tenkuji Ryu continued as expected:

"Yes, that warrior said that if possible, we should try to keep this matter a secret from outsiders. After all, the 'eight million gods,' regardless of their abilities, depend on people's faith to exist. If fewer and fewer people believe in them, their power will gradually weaken until they disappear. In other words, if the rumors about these evil gods and monsters spread, the half key might break prematurely. So the Sky Temple lineage has always passed this secret down orally. To be honest, this secret is quite heavy. Sometimes I can't even sleep well, for fear that I might talk in my sleep and reveal it."

This is indeed a very heavy burden, no wonder Tenkuji Ryu didn't want Mikoto to know about it, but I feel that there is also a reason for keeping it a secret.

"In that case, let's not delay and go give it a try."

Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Yuanxiang stood up, pondering the word "fate," and said in a somewhat complicated tone:

"If it were me, I should be the one to... Hmm? They're fighting again?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gensou sensed something and looked up sharply. At that moment, Tenkuji Takeru was once again engaged in battle with the strange eye demon. But now, he understood the eye demon's abilities. It was a scheme related to time and illusion. When he was about to destroy it, it would pull out a version of himself from the 'past' to be destroyed in place of his original self. The illusion it then cast gave Tenkuji Takeru the illusion that he had not succeeded in destroying it at all, and that it had retreated on its own initiative, adding a lot of pressure to his heart.

The reason it appears here may be that it reversed its own abilities, reversed its original form with its past, and thus appeared at this point in time.

But... why are Gensou and I here?

Tenkuji Takeru couldn't quite understand it, but he didn't have the energy to think about it any further. In any case, he had to completely eliminate it this time!

Gengo agreed with this, because the purpose of this eye demon was now obvious: to go to the past and destroy Kamen Rider Ghost, the child form of Takeru Tenkuji. In that way, the eye demons' actions would be unimpeded in the future!

However, the appearance of Gengo and Takeru Tenkuji completely disrupted its plans. Under the siege of the two Kamen Riders, it had no chance of escape.

After dealing with the eye demon, Gensou gently pressed his hand towards Tenkuji Takeru to calm him down, and then went straight to the basement. Looking at the half-eye soul key embedded in the stone tablet, he reached out and gently covered it.

really.....

Yuanxiang pursed his lips and sighed with mixed feelings.

Is that so-called warrior "me"?

385 Do you want to kill me?

Fate?

Gensou silently put away the Eye Soul Key, offering no further explanation to Tenkuji Ryu beside him. Even though the current head priest of Tenkuji Temple was quite astonished, he had once come into contact with the Eye Soul Key and deeply felt its immense power. Let alone trying to remove it, just touching it was enough to make him feel an overwhelming impact.

Just now, Gensou took it off so easily, as if he were taking off a hat from a coat hanger before going out. This made Tenkuji Ryu believe even more in the so-called ancestral teachings and prophecies, and he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. After all, according to the prophecy, when the warrior of fate takes it off again, all evil spirits will end there. He no longer needs to worry that the ominous spirit guarding the temple will break through unintentionally and wreak havoc on the world.

"Your Excellency, get ready, we're about to depart."

While Tenkuji Dragon's clone was active, Genji quietly emerged from the basement and looked at Tenkuji Takeru, who was talking to his younger self, saying:

"If there's anything we haven't discussed yet, let's hurry up and talk about it."

This is the truth. After removing the stone tablet, Gengo could clearly feel the fluctuations surging within it. This was a side effect of removing the Eye Soul Key. However, compared to the entire world, these fluctuations were not particularly noticeable. It was likely that, apart from allowing Gengo to use the power of 'Xtreme' to connect with the world and, based on his experience in sorting out the timeline, return to the point in time when they should exist.

Perfectly fitted.

Yuanxiang could only use such words to describe his current situation. From the moment he arrived here to the moment he obtained the Eye Soul Key, not a single unnecessary event was wasted. Even the fluctuations of the stone tablet were perfectly controlled to a very subtle degree, making it impossible for Yuanxiang to bring another person back. This made the boy's feelings quite complicated. He silently raised his head and looked at the bright sky. Behind the slowly drifting white clouds, he always felt that a huge net that he could not escape was slowly falling.

"Does it have to be now?"

"Ah."

Gensou turned his gaze to the somewhat dazed Tenkuuji Takeru, nodded, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Unless you want to stay here forever."

"...I understand, Mr. Sky Temple... Mr. Dragon, would you please come over here for a bit?"

Tenkuji Takeru pursed his lips, beckoned to Tenkuji Ryu who had just come out of the basement, and pulled him to a corner. They talked for a few minutes, but Tenkuji Takeru's eyes were already slightly moist. He held Tenkuji Ryu's hand and shook it hard, then turned and chased after Gensou in the direction he had left.

"Father, what did Philip just say to you?"

After losing sight of his father, Takeru Tenkuji cautiously approached Ryu Tenkuji, tugging at his sleeve and asking in an unnatural, soft voice. Although he found his older brother, Philip, quite pleasant, he didn't feel comfortable getting close to Shotaro Hidari. For some reason, he sensed an unusually oppressive aura emanating from the boy, like layers of dark clouds before a thunderstorm. Therefore, Takeru Tenkuji hadn't dared to speak to Shotaro Hidari just now.

"It's nothing, just an old acquaintance who told me to take good care of myself."

Tenkuuji Ryu gently rubbed Tenkuuji Takeru's head, answering softly. In his heart, however, the words Tenkuuji Takeru had spoken before leaving still echoed: he was told not to leave the temple one day, and not to deal with anything urgent. This gave Tenkuuji Ryu an ominous premonition. Could it be that on that day, he would…

'Thump!!'

Just as Sky Temple Dragon was pondering, a strange sound suddenly came from the basement. No recording device could preserve the sound, and it had no effect on any inanimate object. However, for living beings, it was like a thunderbolt. Even the residents on the edge of the city were affected and were stunned for a moment to two seconds.

The effects on the Sky Temple father and son, who were located above the basement of the stone tablet, and Akari Kozuki were even more severe. They lay on the ground with their eyes open and their eyes vacant, as if their bodies and wills had been put on hold at that moment.

But soon, they returned to normal. Tenkuji Ryu helped Tenkuji Takeru and Tsukimura Akari to their feet. He blinked blankly, looking at the sun moving overhead. He suddenly couldn't remember what he had done that morning. It seemed like two people had come here, and he seemed to have gotten along quite well with them. And then... and then what?

Tenkuji Ryu patted his head. He felt as if he had been subjected to some kind of mental attack, but strangely, he didn't feel much aversion to it. Instead, he even felt a sense of relief, a feeling he had never experienced before, which was truly unbelievable to him.

"Father, what are we doing here?"

Clearly, this situation wasn't limited to Tenkuji Ryu; both Tenkuji Takeru and Tsukimura Akari looked bewildered. Tenkuji Ryu was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond. The head priest blinked, glanced at the time, and said softly:

"That's not important, Zun. It's lunchtime. What would you like to eat? We still have homework to do after we finish eating."

"Ah... how about we skip dinner...?"

"Then let's begin our studies and practice!"

"No!!"

As Tenkuji Takeru was reluctantly carried to the living room by Tenkuji Ryu, Gensou and Tenkuji Takeru had already returned to reality. A vertical pupil-like crack was torn open in the middle of the stone tablet, and in the howling wind, the two figures flashed into the basement in the blink of an eye.

However, after regaining their footing, the two of them simultaneously looked behind them, at the space-time rift that had instantly closed. Tenkuji Takeru hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"Um, I think I just heard a really scary noise."

"I heard that too, so... it should be fine, right?"

Gensou looked at Tenkuuji Takeru beside him and said softly:

"After all, if something had gone wrong, you wouldn't be standing here unharmed right now."

"Too."

Every cause has its effect, and Tenkuji Takeru understood this principle. He touched his body and did not notice any strange changes. His father was still dead, and everything was proceeding according to the original timeline without any changes. Furthermore, Tenkuji Takeru thought carefully and realized that in his memory, the names Shotaro and Philip first appeared in the War of the Gods, indicating that his time travel with Gengo had left no trace.

Tenkuji Takeru was somewhat depressed, but he didn't dwell on the matter for too long. After all, he had already adapted to the current situation and couldn't let this affect him too much.

"Let me go find everyone and let them know I'm safe."

Tenkuuji Monk smiled and cheered up, saying to Gensou as they walked:

"I wonder how long we've been gone this time, if... if..."

Before he could finish speaking, a turbid, invisible wave instantly spread out, slowing Tenkuji Takeru's movements several times over. This was undoubtedly the effect of the acceleration.

"This is really never going to stop."

Tenkuji-sama immediately broke free from the physical body that Gensou had created for him, freeing himself from the constraints of the gravity acceleration. The body then dissipated, as it was merely a temporary contraption that Gensou had casually created. After enduring the erosion of time, it had already reached its limit, and now, having lost Gensou's energy support, it naturally turned into nothingness.

"Let's go take a look."

Gengo's body trembled slightly. Ignoring the control of the heavy acceleration, he gripped the Gaia Memory tightly and ran towards the outside of the basement. However, the moment they reached the outside, Gengo and Takeru Tenkuji witnessed an astonishing sight—

Located on a mountain, the Daitenkuji Temple is situated at the highest point in the surrounding area. Therefore, they could clearly see the massive explosion that occurred on the edge of Tokyo. The blinding flames were particularly striking even within the temple grounds, and the billowing smoke transformed the azure sky into an apocalyptic scene. Regardless of whether this disaster was caused by Roidmude, if the situation was not brought under control quickly, it would likely result in enormous losses!

Without any explanation, Yuanxiang transformed into a whirlwind and arrived at the scene in an instant, almost teleporting speed. He discovered that it was a chemical storage warehouse. Although Yuanxiang's chemical knowledge was average, he understood that some chemicals could not be exposed to water. They each had their own properties, and some required special treatment.

But Yuanxiang didn't have time to care about that now. He reached out and used 'Cyclone' to retain the surrounding air, preventing these potentially harmful gases from spreading into the city. Then, white smoke suddenly enveloped the boy's figure. In the terrifying cold fog, the roar of 'Fang' shook the heavens and the earth, carrying a destructive desire, spreading in all directions, turning all the dangerous materials in this area into nothingness. Even the wind was swallowed up. A major disaster that would be recorded in history went from outbreak to end in less than ten seconds, returning to calm. Apart from the loss of this warehouse area, there were no casualties.

Furthermore, considering that the warehouse might contain some people's entire fortune, Gensou infiltrated the Earth Library, retrieved the relevant data, and used the power of 'Luna' to switch between 'real' and 'illusion' to recreate the warehouse and its contents.

However, thanks to the data support from the 'Earth Library' this time, Gensho also brushed up on his chemistry knowledge. After safely handling the prohibited items in the warehouse, Gensho directly returned them to the entrance of the relevant department, and also put the evidence on them, hoping that those guys would be punished accordingly.

To be fair, Yuanxiang felt he handled the situation quite well, but...

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

After reverting to his original form, Genji, hiding in the alley, clutched his chest and coughed violently like a tuberculosis patient. Black, clotted blood gushed from his mouth, along with some indistinct fragments of flesh and blood. His reckless use of the 'Xtreme' power had clearly overloaded his body, causing the mutated 'Joker' power to become frantically active like chains. After all, being of the same origin, the 'Xtreme' power could also be applied to him.

If Gengo hadn't used 'Luna' to blur the vital organs and forcibly maintained his life signs with his Joker abilities, his internal organs would probably be literally shattered at this moment.

However, there is one exception.
