I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"Hmph, foolish! Foolish!"

At this moment, the Shocker leader burst into laughter. Although his data had been briefly suspended because he activated Eternal's effect before fully integrating with it, he had a backup plan. Having suffered losses against Showa Riders, how could he allow himself to be in such a dangerous situation?

The Shocker leader held up a finger, counted down two, and then opened a timed warp space in front of his hand, which had been set before activating Eternal. A memory chip fell out of it.

Stroking the memory, the Shocker leader looked at Genji and let out a wicked laugh. He threw the memory away, and it immediately turned into a stream of data, which gathered into a figure beside him.

Although the figure looked much older than he remembered, Shotaro recognized him at a glance and subconsciously murmured:

"Uncle!"

"Is that Grandpa?"

Shotaro and Philip, who had rushed over, suddenly froze, abruptly turning to look at the boy beside them. Their eyes widened, pupils contracted, and they asked in unison:

"…Yuanxiang, what are you shouting for?!" x2

Testimonials

Well, when I received the notification from the editor that another book was going to be published, I was quite nervous, and even felt like I was waiting for my college entrance exam results.

Although I've written quite a few books, I'm also a long-time flop. I'm sincerely grateful to the readers who have left any trace in my books for keeping me going. The comments and data displayed on the backend have given me tremendous motivation. After all, it would be a huge failure for an author if no one read their books.

Although reality is always filled with all sorts of things, I am really trying to improve my skills so that I can write more stories for you to enjoy. I am also trying different writing styles to build more interesting plots that can resonate with you. I hope that one day, when readers mention my pen name "Changge Qiexing" (长歌且行), I can get a "not bad" evaluation.

Let me talk about the update. I'll try to guarantee at least four updates tomorrow. Things have been piling up lately, as you can tell from my update schedule, so I can't boast too much or pad the word count. I'll try my best to make it up to you next week when I have some free time.

Finally, let's talk about the results. This book wasn't really expected to do well... Anyway, let's not dwell on that. You're here to read and have fun, so I won't share my stress with you. In short, if the first subscriptions exceed 1,000, I'll add one more chapter for every 100 more subscriptions. As for the bounty, we'll do that next month.

By the way, Yuanxiang will have a happy ending, so don't worry about that.

Alright, this is Changge Qiexing. Please take care of me for the rest of the time. See you tomorrow.

075 Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore.

Narumi Shokichi was the former Fuuto Detective of this world, the father of Narumi Akiko, and the detective mentor of Hidari Shotaro. However, he died during a mission to rescue Philip. Hidari Shotaro has always felt guilty about his death. In the quiet of the night, he often questions himself: if he had obediently followed the uncle's instructions, would the uncle have survived?

He also understood that this question was destined to have no answer.

But now, he never expected to encounter something like this. Although it was a parallel world, and although the surnames were different, if he wasn't mistaken, then Yuanxiang was also the uncle's grandson. This...this...

Shotaro stared blankly at Gengo, but he did not receive a reply. Gengo simply looked at Genjo on the high platform, as if trying to etch that figure into his very bones. A shadow seemed to be shrouded the boy, one that even the sunlight could not dispel, and when lifted, it was filled with sorrow.

"Xiang, Grandpa just wanted to help you..."

Not far away, Minamoto no Sōkichi looked at his exhausted and wounded grandson, feeling his body out of control. Although he didn't know why he had been resurrected in this form, Minamoto no Sōkichi had a vague sense of what was going to happen next. He sighed, his mouth full of bitterness, and closed his eyes in pain.

But at that moment, Shocker's leader suddenly reached out and slapped Minamoto no Shoji on the back of the head, causing Shotaro to jump up.

Before he could make a move, Yuan Zhuangji's eyes suddenly opened, emitting a beam of green light that shone in mid-air, reflecting a scene.

In the scene, Genjokichi is meticulously decorating the Christmas tree and placing peaches next to the birthday cake, as if he is waiting for someone to return.

However, Yuan Zhuangji's face showed a strange expression. After circling the table a few times, he took out a small box from the inner room. After opening it, he found a Lost Driver and a memory inside. He picked up the items, hesitated for a moment, then put the driver on his waist and pressed the memory button.

The transformation process of Genjo went smoothly without any accidents. After trying it several times, Genjo happily hummed a little tune, put the Lost Driver on his waist, and struck various poses like a playful old man, intending to give his grandson a surprise when he returned from the battle. Thinking about the expression that Genjo might show, Genjo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

However, misfortune struck at that moment. Genzo's laughter stopped abruptly. His face turned pale as he clutched his chest, slowly braced himself against the wall beside him, and swayed as he tried to reach for the medicine. But he tripped over the decorations next to the Christmas tree and fell heavily to the ground. After writhing a few times with difficulty, Genzo died.

The video ended there, and the Shocker leader let out a malicious laugh, seemingly full of anticipation for the battle to come. He then transformed into a mass of data and entered Genzo Shoji's body, clearly intending to use the old man as a shield to help him weather the data outage.

When Zuo Xiangtaro saw this, he was so angry that his face turned purple. But when he looked at that familiar face, even though he knew that it was not the uncle he knew, he just couldn't clench his fists.

"Shoutaro."

Philip gently patted his shoulder, and Shotaro's body trembled slightly. He understood his partner's meaning. If he didn't fight, it would be like forcing Gengo to fight his grandfather, which would be too cruel. So... even though his memory hadn't returned to normal yet, even though he could only rely on his mortal body, he had to rush in front of Gengo.

Just as Shotaro Satoshi made up his mind, the boy beside him looked at Minamoto no Shokichi with an unexpectedly calm expression and said softly:

"Honestly, you're already so old, why are you showing off... I know, Grandpa, you're worried about me. It's my fault. If I had been stronger back then and taken fewer injuries, you wouldn't have wanted to fight alongside me. Since that's the case..."

Gengo tapped the driver on his waist, his gaze towards Genso Shokichi becoming incredibly resolute. Under the watchful eyes of Shotaro and Philip, he spoke, word by word:

“I will defeat you and show you the power I possess; I will defeat you and destroy the evil hidden within you; I will defeat you and let you know my will… Grandpa, Xiang is no longer the child hiding in your arms, you can rest assured.”

"…I see."

Genzo Yoshikichi took a deep breath, raised his hands on his own, removed his hat with one hand, and pressed the memory key with the other, inserting it into the data-driven drive at his waist. His voice trembled slightly as he said:

"Then let me witness your growth, Xiang!!"

"Skull!"

Accompanied by the memory's voice, Genzo Shoji transformed into a knight similar to "Joker," but with forest white patterns on his armor, an extra white scarf, and a skull with lightning bolt scars on his helmet. After the transformation ended, Genzo Shoji put the white hat on top of it.

This is Kamen Rider Skull! A rider with fighting prowess that rivals that of the 'Joker'!

On the other side, just as Genjo transformed, Genjo also placed his hand on the driver at his waist. His determination and trust resonated with the Joker, and purple lightning began to burst wildly in all directions, trying to break free from Eternal's nullification. The surging energy fluctuations forced Shotaro and Philip to retreat a few steps because they could not stand beside him.

But then, a crisp cracking sound rang out from Gengo's waist. Gengo groaned and was blown to the ground. Shotaro and Philip rushed over to help him up, only to see that his Lost Driver was charred black and that there were abnormal flashes on the 'Joker' memory.

"It's an overload; ordinary Lost Drivers and T1-level memory cannot withstand this level of energy conflict."

Philip glanced at it and immediately understood the reason, but he was still incredibly surprised. Even a user with an excess of memories couldn't do what Gensou did, forcibly waking up a nullified memory by relying on the compatibility between himself and the memory... Something's wrong with his body, there's definitely a problem!

"Be careful!"

At this moment, Genjo's body was already charging towards Genjo. Shotaro clenched his fist, intending to stop this uncle from the parallel world, but at this moment, a motorcycle rushed out from the side, forcing Genjo back. Terui Ryu glanced at the Accel Memory, which had also been nullified, clicked his tongue, took out the heavy Engine Sword, pointed it at Genjo, and while on guard, asked:

"Zuo, what on earth is going on?! Isn't 'Skull' Mr. Zhuang Ji's memory?"

“Dragon? You’ve come back to life too… No, you’re not him. There’s no vengeful hatred in your eyes. I was wrong.”

Before Shotaro could answer, Gen Shōkichi's words drew everyone's attention and made their feelings complicated. In the past, Terui Ryū's desire to avenge his family was quite unreasonable. However, Shotaro and the others eventually pulled him out of the quagmire of revenge. But judging from Gen Shōkichi's words, Ryū didn't seem to have escaped that shadow in the world of Genshō.

While everyone's attention was focused on Terui Ryu, Gengo's gaze slowly fell on the dual drives at Shotaro's waist...

076 Ace! Ace!

Gengo naturally heard Philip's assessment, and through analyzing his expression, Gengo also guessed that his actions just now were beyond his comprehension. This meant that he and Shotaro Hidari could not seem to forcefully break through the 'Eternal' memory's blockade like he could, which indirectly proved that they did not have much combat power during this period.

Grandpa is also very powerful after transforming. Even with Grandpa's warning, Mr. Terui Ryu is now almost unable to stand. Therefore, the only way to stop or even eliminate Grandpa is to transform!

Furthermore, Philip's judgment had a slight problem—

Compared to the memory, the Lost Driver was the first to give out. As a Kamen Rider himself, Gengo knew this firsthand. If the Lost Driver hadn't malfunctioned, he would have become a Kamen Rider by now.

Since that's the case, let's try using a dual driver. Although this inevitably requires running an extra memory, and it can only be Shotaro's 'Joker'. If we use other memory, the transformation will fail because one of the memory is not responding.

Even with the 'Joker' which is highly compatible with him, the enormous burden on his body is still unavoidable. Moreover, in order to avoid damage to the dual drive, he has to channel some of the impact energy into his own body.

However, if used properly, this impact energy can also be released as an attack. Therefore, considering this, transforming using the dual-drive is not impossible, since one is not made of flesh and blood at this time.

Thinking of this, Gengo immediately had an idea. He pulled out his 'Joker', threw the damaged Lost Driver aside, and then pulled out the Dual Driver from Shotaro's waist, taking out the 'Heat' memory and throwing it to Philip.

"Wait, Gensou, your body can't take it!"

Upon seeing Gengo's actions, Philip immediately realized what he was planning to do and joined forces with Shotaro to try to stop him, but Gengo nimbly dodged them with a spin.

At the same time, Gengo inserted his own memory into the empty slot, put the driver on his waist, and pushed with both hands. The two 'Joker' memories immediately emitted a sharp buzzing sound, and the energy shock that was generated immediately knocked over Shotaro and Philip who wanted to stop him. Purple-black lightning instantly spread all over Gengo's body. His whole body was like a bursting water bag, bursting open everywhere. The wounds were like the mouths of infants turned outward, but no blood flowed out. Only the glowing green data slowly floated out from there.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shotaro and Philip were stunned into silence. They never imagined that such a secret was hidden beneath the boy's warm body.

As Terui Ryuya struggled against the attack, he heard a soft sob from the knight in front of him. Immediately afterward, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, followed by a loud shout:

"Get out of the way!"

Despite not receiving any attack, Terui Ryu felt as if he had been electrocuted in the back. He quickly released the engine blade that had been held and lunged to the side. Genji tried to grab Terui Ryu, but before he could, Genji, who was covered in electricity, rushed over and threw a punch at him. Genji caught the punch with his elbow and withstood the force of the punch, but the energy lightning that followed made his arm twitch.

Seeing that it was effective, Gengo didn't bother with any fancy tricks. He directly grabbed Kamen Rider Skull's hands, and purple-black lightning, like a bloodstained dog, instantly enveloped the two of them.

Before he could create any distance, Terui Ryu was struck by a bolt of lightning and immediately let out a scream. Fortunately, Shotaro Sakai bravely dragged him away; otherwise, he would have been reduced to a charred corpse.

No... I need to hurry...

Gengo, who was locked in a stalemate with Genjo, looked at his fingers, which were beginning to char, and couldn't help but feel anxious. Now was not the time to use the data storage device, but his body was about to give way... 'Joker,' forgive my stubbornness, please use a little more force!!!

"what!!!!"

Gengo let out a hoarse roar, and after a brief silence, the two 'Joker' memory modules at his waist began to flash. The flashing frequency became faster and faster, until they finally turned into two beams of light that seemed to never go out. A powerful force erupted from Gengo's body, and Genjoji, who was right next to him, instantly disappeared, his body embedded deep into the earth by the spreading shockwave.

But Yuanxiang also exploded in that instant, his flesh and blood turning into streams of data and dissipating into the air. Only a burning skeleton remained standing in place, with cracks all over its bones, as if it would be reduced to ashes at any moment.

However, the data storage device had been taken out by Genji at some point. He used his mind to control his hand bones to crush it. The next moment, countless 'fireflies' flew out of the storage device, attached themselves to Genji's bones, and quickly repaired Genji's body.

But that won't work, there's simply not enough time!

Shotaro looked anxiously at Genji's situation. Although his body was being repaired, the flames were rapidly destroying his regenerated body. Comparing the speed of both sides, facing Genji was ultimately a path of destruction.

"It's a success..."

"what?!"

Shotaro heard Philip's whisper and looked at his partner in confusion. Philip, however, seemed oblivious to his confusion, staring blankly at the softening light around Gengo's waist, muttering to himself:

"'Joker Joker'.... Success..."

As soon as Philip finished speaking, a deep and resounding roar erupted, and a purple beam of light shot into the sky, staining it. Three seconds later, the beam disappeared, revealing a figure enveloped in a faint glow. The figure slowly raised its left hand and flicked it gently, causing the glow to dissipate into countless light particles, revealing the dark figure to everyone's eyes.

It was a figure that looked very similar to the 'Joker', but there was a silver-white connecting line in the middle of his body, and compared to the light armor he wore before, it looked much rougher and wilder now, and the two 'Joker' symbols on the dual-drive were as bright as stars.

Upon seeing that Genji had actually transformed successfully, Genji's body suddenly trembled, and an evil aura emanated from him. Clearly, the Shocker leader had completely taken control of him. Looking at the imposing Genji, he muttered menacingly:

"This is impossible!"

077 Are you human?

Gengo didn't speak, but quickly attacked Kamen Rider Skull. Shocker leader immediately launched his ultimate attack. With the sound of "Skull! Maximum Drive!", he created a skull-shaped energy body from his chest and jumped into the air, kicking the energy body towards Gengo with a jump kick.

Facing the ferocious skeletal energy form, Gengo neither dodged nor evaded, but directly punched it. The purple energy flames instantly shattered the Shocker leader's attack. Then, Gengo's figure flashed, and the next second he appeared in front of Kamen Rider Skull. Without giving the Shocker leader any chance to react, he punched him in the chest. Kamen Rider Skull's chest armor shattered and crashed into the ground. At that moment, Shotaro and the others also felt the ground tremble and almost lost their footing.

"What's going on? Why can two 'Jokers' transform?"

Shotaro, sensing the immense power, looked at Philip in confusion. While he had also transformed into the 'Joker Joker' form, it was only under Tsukasa Kadoya's intervention, and even then, he only appeared as a regular 'Joker.' Gengo, however, used the Dual Driver. Normally, activating it requires the combination of data from both the 'soul' and 'body,' so how could Gengo...?

“I’m not entirely sure either, but as you’ve seen, Gensou isn’t made of flesh and blood,” Philip said softly, supporting Terui Ryu beside him as he looked at the black figure. “Perhaps it’s the unique nature of the body and the extremely high compatibility that made this miracle possible. But… is the burden of such a capricious transformation… really okay?”

Philip's question remained unanswered, because the only one who could answer it was fighting. Kamen Rider Skul fought with all his might to shake off Gengo, and in that moment, threw a punch at him in the face.

Gengo did not dodge. The punch made his face turn to the left, but then he slowly turned back while facing Kamen Rider Skull's fist. His dark red compound eyes made the Shocker leader's heart skip a beat.
