I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"I understand, Yuanxiang. Take care. If you have some free time after you finish your work, remember to come visit me."

Heart glanced at Tomari Shinnosuke and the others beside him, realizing that if he stayed any longer, these people would probably be unable to explain themselves. Therefore, he didn't say anything more, nor did he use his speed boost. He left before the police arrived. Gengo waved to the remaining people and then disappeared into the wind.

About ten minutes later, Gengo's figure appeared in a desolate wilderness. This place was quite special because if an uncontrollable accident occurred here, whether it was Fuuto, Tokyo, or Sawame City and Yumemachi, they would all be able to detect the changes in time. At that time, it shouldn't be too difficult for so many Kamen Riders to deal with the mess here.

Of course, Yuanxiang wouldn't let that kind of scene happen easily.

Gengo looked at the Eye Soul Key in his hand and gently put it back together. The seemingly grotesque broken edges fit together perfectly. Then, eerie crimson lightning continuously crackled on it, and a cold, biting wind blew through the surrounding forest. Through 'Cyclone's' perception, Gengo could clearly feel a rather ominous negative energy rapidly gathering in this direction. The boy calmly took a step back, looked up, and gazed at the suddenly darkening sky, which slowly revealed the shape of a huge eye of the storm. His hand gently rested on the Driver, and inside his jacket, each Memory emitted a faint glow, ready to respond to Gengo's call at any moment.

But even as the hazy door, etched with demonic heads and beast faces, appeared in the eye of the storm, Genji didn't sense any attack. He looked around; in the pitch-black darkness, the eerie wind felt like a cold hand caressing the back of his neck. Even with Genji's body enhanced by the memory, the trees swaying in the wind appeared like ghostly figures beckoning and climbing towards him. It wasn't an illusion; the unique environment was silently transforming the trees into something inhuman. It was just that the transformation was happening too slowly, far from being strong enough to harm Genji.

But these things can't be left behind either.

To be on the safe side, Gengo used his wind blades to cut down all the trees in the surrounding area that were undergoing the fastest transformation. Then, he grasped the complete Eye Soul Key and rode the wind towards the door. With the Eye Soul Key, he encountered no resistance whatsoever; the door seemed to have no effect. However, as he passed through it, Gengo felt as if he were entering water, and he couldn't breathe. This wasn't because there was no air behind the door, but because the air was mixed with energy that was too much for the human body to instinctively reject. Out of the instinct for survival, his body automatically suspended this skill that he also relied on for survival. Gengo used 'Cyclone' to guide normal air from outside the door to his side, enveloping himself like a protective suit to maintain his life. Then he continued to walk deeper into the area.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..."

"You audacious ant, you audacious ant..."

As they ventured deeper into the village, they heard a variety of whispers around them. Some were rough and harsh, others were melodious and plaintive. Some were clearly menacing just by their voices, while others evoked all sorts of wonderful fantasies simply from their whispers. It was a chaotic mix of people, and the only word that came to mind to describe their current surroundings was "Joker." The purple light of "Joker" flashed constantly in his eyes as he remained vigilant for any unexpected attacks and used it as a guide.

Yes, he sensed it. He sensed the presence of another 'Joker,' a completely new Joker, one that he couldn't summon. It seemed that deep inside, there might be an even bigger one waiting for him.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..."

"You audacious ant, you audacious ant..."

Ok? !

Yuanxiang suddenly heard a familiar voice. He stopped and listened carefully, confirming that it was the same voice he had heard when he first entered. The boy closed his eyes and began to carefully sense everything around him. After about twenty minutes of silence, Yuanxiang finally found the answer. It wasn't that he was lost, nor that those ghosts and monsters had been following him. Rather, time inside this door was completely chaotic. He didn't know when the wails he heard had started or when they had been transmitted. He didn't even know if the time where he was now was the same as the time when he entered the door.

Is this scene caused by the resentment of eight million gods?

Feeling the surging changes around him, the boy couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He then focused even more intently on the location of the other Joker, lest he be accidentally swept away to some unknown point in time. After all, if the timing was wrong, even if they were standing in the same place, they might not be able to see each other.

However, Gengo was lucky, or perhaps the attraction between Jokers was beyond imagination. After walking for about fifteen minutes, Gengo finally found the only light in the darkness. Although the light there was very eerie, the pale blue light flickered from time to time, making it look particularly terrifying.

Gengo wasn't afraid of this. He just silently gripped the memory, preparing for the battle that might come next. To be honest, the past versions of himself he had encountered so far were all quite formidable. If he were to enter the realm and encounter a 'self' who could directly transform into all eight million gods, Gengo wouldn't be surprised at all. He would just have a headache about how to fight that battle.

"Whoo~~~~"

Wow, the sound effects on this thing are so creepy!

As Yuanxiang stepped into the range of that light, a strange sound rang in his ears, like a piece of cloth being gently torn apart, mixed with the sound of flesh being crushed, echoing in the deathly silent space, like insects slowly crawling on your skin.

However, Gensou quickly forgot about such things, because once he entered the range of light, the scene before him immediately changed. It was no longer boundless darkness, but a huge, ferocious statue. This statue had no superfluous carvings, only heads that stretched upwards like gushing spring water. Among those heads were all sorts of strange things, including beauties and wild beasts. And whether it was Gensou's imagination or not, the top few huge head statues seemed to be moving slightly, as if they had already come to life.

"You're not mistaken, they are moving, they're about to break the seal."

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the bottom of the statue. Yuanxiang cautiously approached and saw the boy with the same face as himself. He was still alive, but it was not much different from being dead, because he only had his head left. The statue grew from his body. His body and flesh had been assimilated, or become the outer shell of the statue that kept the eight million gods sealed here.

"You've come. Looks like I can go die now."

The boy trapped under the statue smiled contentedly at his future self, then pouted and said with a smile:

"Just call me Tao, so we don't get confused about who's who, since we're from the same hometown. Hmph, you should understand why I use this code name, right?"

"know."

Gengo crouched down, materialized a peach using the power of 'Luna,' and placed it near his past self's lips, whispering:

"Your favorite food."

"That's right, that's right, wow~~~ I was just thinking that you could follow the clues I left behind, but you even brought peaches with you. That's so kind of you, just like me."

Upon seeing the peach, Genji's eyes lit up instantly. Without hesitation, he took a bite, savoring the sweet juice that moistened his parched gums. Genji, with an expression of immense happiness, carefully tasted the long-lost flavor. But Genji, standing beside him, paused, pursed his lips, and whispered:

You seem to be a little younger than me.

"Me? I was fifteen when I came in. How old are you now?"

"Seventeen, two years older than you."

Yuanxiang took out another peach and placed it near his past self's lips, letting him continue eating, and said softly:

"I never expected to see what I looked like as a child in this way. It feels quite strange."

"Yes, yes, to be honest, being able to talk to yourself is a rather subtle feeling."

Xiao Yuanxiang muttered a helpless complaint, but when he saw Yuanxiang take out a new peach, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head vigorously and said:

"I'm not eating anymore. This is enough for my last meal. If I eat too much, I won't be able to bear dying."

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Gensho smiled as he scattered the peaches, gently smoothed Gensho's hair, and said softly:

"I'm still pretty strong now, maybe I can save you, but let's make one thing clear first, when you come to my side, you have to call me brother."

"Impossible, you won't have that chance to hear me call you brother."

Without a second thought, Xiao Yuanxiang retorted to Yuanxiang. Then, he blinked, looked at the peach that had disappeared from Yuanxiang's hand, thought for a moment, and asked in confusion:

"Hey, you ruined the peach, didn't you? It was a really good peach, why didn't you eat it? That's such a waste! Have our tastes changed over time?"

"I used to like eating this."

Genshou lowered part of the ground so that when he sat down, he could be at eye level with Kogenshou, and said softly:

"But I forgot that I like to eat peaches, so I'm almost sick of eating all the peaches that other people have given me these days."

"I see..."

Xiao Yuanxiang sighed in surprise, then said in a rather sympathetic tone:

"That's terrible, you're really in such a bad situation. What kind of bad luck did you encounter that made you forget something so important?"

"This is the necessary price to pay to reach 'Xtreme'. I sacrificed my memories in exchange for power, there's nothing more to say about that... Hmm?!"

As Yuanxiang was speaking, he suddenly noticed something was off about Xiao Yuanxiang's gaze. He paused for a moment, then tentatively asked:

"What? You don't know 'Xtreme'?"

"I don't know, what is that thing?"

Xiao Yuanxiang said with a blank expression:

"New memory? I don't have that many, just one Joker."

"...Could you tell me about your experience? How did you manage to bring down the museum?"

Gensho asked curiously, but Gensho's answer far exceeded his expectations, because in his previous life, the museum organization... well, it went bankrupt.

Yes, literally bankrupt. Apparently, a terrible global pandemic struck his area, affecting imports and exports, and even the entire island nation's economy suffered a huge blow. The Sonozaki family sold their large house and yard, and eventually, no one knew where they moved to. The origin of his Joker was quite mysterious; he found it while picking up a cat near a trash can, felt a connection to it, and took it home. As for transformation, it was even simpler and more straightforward: he just imported the data into his body and forcibly transformed. There was no Lost Driver or anything like that.

What made Genji feel most complicated was that this drastic transformation only made him feel tired. He didn't feel any burden or toxins. After the transformation ended, he just slept soundly. It made Genji wonder if he was the one who had the wrong transformation method.

Xiaoyuanxiang's upbringing was also different. His parents were fine, but the difference was that after hearing about this, Yuanzhuangji suffered a heart attack and died. As a result, Xiaoyuanxiang was sent to an orphanage in Fudu. Later, he was adopted by an old monk and grew up in the temple. It wasn't until he returned to the agency to pack his things one year that he triggered the existence of the 'Door'.

Moreover, Xiaoyuan Township's reincarnation count was quite high; at least he received a hint left by his previous reincarnation for those who followed, becoming aware of the existence of reincarnation. Then, he began a life of searching for a way to break the cycle of reincarnation in another world while fighting monsters.

Then, in the distant past of this world, he sealed away eight million rebellious gods with his own body, and has lived on ever since.

To be honest, it's outrageous.

Gensou blinked silently. As it stands, it seems that most of his reincarnations are much stronger than him. Take the little Gensou in front of him, for example. If he could unlock the 'Xtreme', he wouldn't be dragged here by these demons. Instead, he would tear those filthy things apart with his bare hands. If they were in different identities, Gensou really doesn't think he could do what he did under the same circumstances.

"By the way, which reincarnation have you done?"

Xiao Yuanxiang blinked her eyes and said in a cute way:

"When I set off, I made sure to leave a message for the people behind me, just like the person before me did. Are you the one you saw coming from?"

"No, I don't know if anyone saw your hint, but I must be someone who has been reincarnated many, many times."

Gensato answered honestly:

"It happened so many times that even the doors started to malfunction."

"Then you are...?"

"Do you remember the surname Sky Temple? It was a descendant of this lineage who told me about this."

Oh~~~

Xiao Yuanxiang suddenly realized and said:

"It was fate that brought you into my life."

"destiny?"

Yuanxiang glanced at Xiao Yuanxiang. Although he knew that Xiao Yuanxiang was heavily influenced by Buddhism, he couldn't help but remark:

"Do you really believe in such a nonexistent thing?"

Isn't your presence in front of me the best proof?

Xiaoyuan Township answered matter-of-factly:

"Don't think these terms are just for show. They are quite effective for us. Now that you have found the descendant of Brother Sky Temple, he should have told you about my prophecy. Look, it has already been proven."

"That's because I have a friend who's a descendant of the Sky Temple family, not..."

"But you came."

Xiaoyuan interrupted Yuanxiang, speaking in a very serious tone:

"Although I had considered how I would die, and thought that pursuing fate too much in the matter of sealing these ghosts and monsters might be a bit too absurd, after much thought, I still chose this plan, for a very simple reason."

Xiao Yuanxiang paused for a moment, then looked directly at Yuanxiang and said:

"Because I still believe that only I can kill myself. In this twisted, sealed land, if there were no connection between the Jokers, I believe that someone else could have come here by other means. The fact that you are here proves that my idea was not wrong at all, and that fate does exist."

"......"

"What, still don't understand?"

Xiao Yuanxiang looked at the silent Yuanxiang, smiled, and said softly:

"My future self, if I hadn't died, how could you possibly have appeared?"

"........"

Yes, if he hadn't died, how could I be in the cycle of reincarnation?

Gensou silently pursed his lips. At first, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He thought that the environment here was too eerie, causing him to have a hallucination. But the moment it was pointed out, Gensou understood everything. The reason he could still talk to his past self was only because of this special space. In this place where time had been confused, such a miracle was achieved.

"If I don't go to hell, who will? Come on, end this cycle of reincarnation for me."
