I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

'Emotions are a poison, an incurable poison.'

These must be words that Grandpa once said, but Yuanxiang doesn't remember the context in which they were spoken. However, they are particularly apt now. Even if the Incubator immediately eliminates the disguised virus, even if the Incubator erases this memory, the experience will leave a deep imprint on the soul and consciousness. You know, Yuanxiang still remembers the feeling of unrestrained desire when his body was first taken over by billions of evil thoughts. That freedom, as if nothing in the world could restrain him, is like a moving song, a stunning beauty, still seducing his soul and bewitching his will, wanting him to let go of everything and fully savor that unrestrained beauty.

"Alright, incubator, how are you feeling emotionally?"

Whether it's evil or good, all things in the world are governed by one kind of emotion, like a template. Once you learn one, you can naturally apply it to other things. Mastering them all is just a matter of time. Yuanxiang looked at the complex light flashing in those scarlet eyes, a smug smile on his face, and asked in a deep voice:

"Now you are qualified test subjects, how about it? Do you remember what you just told me?"

"Yuanxiang, this is not the right choice for you."

The incubators didn't say anything more. After leaving those words, they gave Yuanxiang a deep look and quickly left. In an instant, Yuanxiang also felt as if some kind of barrier had moved away from the area. This made the boy breathe a sigh of relief. He had already noticed this when he used the hurricane attack, but because so many students were still unconscious here, he couldn't expand the attack further and could only pretend not to see it. Now, at least they were no longer in the enemy's territory.

"Ugh... my head hurts..."

"Hey~~~ Why am I lying on the ground?"

"Class is about to start..."

As the barrier disappeared, the students who had fallen to the ground immediately began to wake up one by one. Genji didn't say anything. He glanced at Madoka Kaname, at her steadily beating heart, and at the faintly shining glory. He used the power of 'Luna' to cover up for the girl to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, and then left.

"Yuanxiang, Xiaoyuan... what happened to you?"

Genji was trapped by the barrier, while Homura Akemi was blocked outside. Almost frantic, she rushed over the moment she noticed the barrier disappear. She asked Genji a question, but her gaze avoided the boy and went to Madoka Kaname in the classroom. Only after seeing the boy get up safely did Homura Akemi breathe a sigh of relief and turn her attention to Genji. The boy's rather bad expression made her ask him worriedly. She instinctively wanted to reach out and support Genji, since he looked like he was about to fall down on her.

However, just as Homura Akemi reached out to steady herself, the girl suddenly realized that something felt off. After all, no matter how bad a person's body was, their fingers shouldn't sink in—literally sink in. Homura Akemi looked at her middle finger, which was stuck in a crevice, like a chasm. As she exerted force, it pressed down on the white shirt and sank into it. This wasn't normal, this was definitely not normal!

"Don't say anything yet, let's go. Now that we're here, let's get out of here quickly."

418 Let us recount your sins.

Homura Akemi didn't say much and left with Gensou. Although class was about to start, it didn't matter. After all, she was a sickly girl, and her medical records from the hospital had been sent to the school. The teachers knew this, and even if she skipped a few classes, they could easily cover it up later. Besides, now that the world's safety was at stake and whether Madoka could continue to live her peaceful life safely was at stake, so whether she went to class or not didn't matter anymore.

Gengo was taken to the rooftop by Homura Akemi, where it was deserted. Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura were still searching below for any remaining traces of the witch's familiar, so they didn't have time to look for Gengo and Homura Akemi for the time being. After all, in their hearts, with Gengo around, even if Homura Akemi was still the sickly girl in the rumors, she would definitely not have any problems.

"I outsmarted the incubator."

Gensou took a breath and looked at Homura Akemi, saying softly:

"Their bodies now flow with emotions; they are no longer an emotionless civilization. Although I don't know if all the incubators have been corrupted, some chaos will likely occur within them in the future."

While speaking, he also transmitted everything that happened between him and the Incubators inside the barrier into Homura Akemi's mind through memory transfer, so that she could understand what the so-called Kyubey was and what their plan was. In any case, Homura Akemi has the ability to choose to reincarnate and start over. For Homura Akemi, whose only means of attack is weapons, this information will make her stronger in the next possible reincarnation and allow her to design a more perfect plan.

"I'm asking you, what kind of secret is Xiaoyuan hiding?"

Gengo pressed his hand to his chest, feeling the three forces surging within him. 'Skull' prevented his body from utterly dying, 'Joker' kept his body agile despite being enveloped in the aura of death, preventing him from becoming stiff, and 'Cyclone' maintained the unity of body and soul, thus keeping his combat power at a certain level and preventing it from declining. Furthermore, because these three memories were always in a highly active state, entering the 'Xtreme' state would take even less time.

However, this does put a strain on one's physical resilience, but those are minor issues and nothing to worry about. It's just that Yuanxiang needs a little time to adjust.

"I'm saying, you don't really believe those incubator guys, do you?"

Seeing Genji's sudden silence, Homura Akemi hesitated for a moment before speaking directly:

"I don't think those Incubators would actually use themselves for experiments while letting Madoka and the other magical girls go."

"Of course I don't trust those guys."

Yuanxiang said without hesitation:

"Perhaps those incubators did have such thoughts at the beginning, but after developing feelings for them, I don't think they can still maintain such thoughts."

"Then why do you still want the incubators to develop emotions?"

Homura Akemi looked at Gengo with a strange expression and said:

"Do you just want them to experience the feeling of emotions and then expect some kind of change to happen?"

"No, my friend, what they accept is evil, the most basic evil of humanity. Although emotions may develop in many different ways because of this, it is still evil at its core, evil separated from me. So every encounter is a competition. Either their thoughts are connected with evil and I suppress them, or my soul is torn apart by billions of evil thoughts. This is a battle to the death."

The reality was even crueler than Gensou had described. Upon encountering the Incubator, he was subjected to a mental shock due to the connection with that evil thought. The billions of evil thoughts that he had suppressed in his soul would also boil over. This level of change was something that even Ark, as an outlet for venting, could not release in time.

But this is also an opportunity for Gensou to strike at the Incubator. Only this kind of curse-like power, which evolved after quantitative change led to qualitative change and under his chaotic experiences during this period, and was born through 'xtreme', can prevent Gensou from worrying that the Incubator will come up with any more strange things that would cause his attacks to miss their mark again.

"By the way, why is Xiaoyuan being watched so closely by the incubators?"

Gengo looked at Homura Akemi with a puzzled expression and said:

"Is that child's talent really that terrifying among you magical girls? The Incubator talks about cause and effect and such, but what is the precise definition of that?"

"I don't know either."

Homura Akemi shook her head and said helplessly:

"It wasn't like this originally. Although Madoka also became a magical girl, she wasn't valued as much as the Incubators did. However, in my continuous loops, I don't know where the problem went, but the Incubators' attention gradually fell on Madoka. Especially in the last few loops, the Incubators almost decided that Madoka would become a magical girl."

"........."

Upon hearing this, Genji fell into thought. He seemed to have figured something out, but he couldn't quite recall anything. Then he looked at Homura Akemi and said:

"Homura Akemi, go and explain your background to Madoka, cough cough cough!!"

Gensou took a deep breath, calming his cough caused by the impact of the three memory fragments, and looked at the girl beside him, saying:

"Xiaoyuan will believe me. You can keep this. If I fail, everything I know will be passed on to you through this 'Luna' crystal. If I am lucky enough to reappear in your cycle of reincarnation, then come to me and let's try to break the deadlock together."

"Wait, why are you saying that?"

Homura Akemi frowned even more as she watched Gengo struggling to catch his breath. She supported him firmly, noticing the visible cracks even through his clothes, and whispered:

"There's no need to rush. At least let your injuries heal first. You're like this..."

"My injury is incurable; at least for now, I have absolutely no way to treat it myself."

Gensou shook his head, pushed Homura Akemi away, straightened up, looked up at the sky, and said softly:

"The incubators won't let this go unpunished. Besides, they still have emotions and understand that as long as I live, their evil will always be a weakness. They won't let me go. The final battle is only a matter of time. I'm leaving now to find a suitable place for the final battle. But you must be careful and not let your guard down."

Homura Akemi understood Genji's meaning. After all, he would choose the battlefield he wanted, and the Incubators would also choose. Madoka was very likely to become the Incubators' breakthrough point, thus serving as a bargaining chip to restrain Genji.

"Oh, right, Homura Akemi."

Seeing that Homura Akemi understood his meaning, Gengo nodded and prepared to leave the school. But as soon as he turned around, he hesitated, stopped, and looked at Homura Akemi, who was looking at him with questioning eyes, as if she had anything else to say. He smiled, placed his hand on the girl's head, gently rubbed it, and whispered:

"You've really gone through a lot for your friend, working so hard silently without anyone knowing. It's truly remarkable. If I had a friend like you, I would be so happy I'd faint. Now, at least in this cycle of reincarnation, let me work hard with you. I sincerely hope your wish comes true. See you later."

After saying that, Genji vanished in a gust of wind before Homura Akemi's eyes. The girl with long, straight black hair silently placed her hand on the spot Genji had just rubbed, her eyes slightly red as she murmured:

"What? You make it sound so nice, like some kind of playboy."

Meanwhile, Gengo quietly arrived at the edge of the city and walked towards the depths of the sea, hoping to turn it into the final battleground. But just as he feared, the moment his foot touched the seawater, a terrifying aura appeared at the other end of the city, in the direction of Kaname Madoka's school.

Those incubators.....

Gengo pinched his brow, looking a bit annoyed, and snapped his fingers. Homura Akemi, who was explaining the situation to Madoka Kaname, saw the 'luna' crystal that Gengo had given her burst into dazzling light. In an instant, it was as if a full moon had hung in the sky, even suppressing some of the sun's light. In that instant, everyone saw a strange distortion appear in the sky above the school, as if space itself had changed and everything was about to disappear.

but.....

With a crisp sound, everyone saw the strange, soft moon explode in the sky, and everything returned to calm. The terrible shadow once again loomed over the city.

"Witch's Night..."

Homura Akemi's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected to see this terrifying witch at this moment. Looking at the elusive witch, Homura felt a chill run down her spine. In past reincarnations, she had tried countless times, devising countless schemes, but always ultimately failed against this witch. She was the witch of stage equipment—a colossal, super-powerful witch passed down through generations, impossible for a single magical girl to defeat. Her form resembled a doll in a tuxedo hanging upside down on a giant gear floating in the air.

Her nature is "powerlessness," and she is also a symbol of the constantly revolving Fool. She travels around the world erratically until she turns the whole world into a drama. When the puppet that is usually in the upside-down position moves to the top, it will turn the entire surface civilization upside down in an instant, like a storm.

Unlike other witches, she doesn't need to conceal her body within a barrier; she can cause physical destruction with visible malice. Simply materializing her power can unleash a super hurricane, resulting in thousands of victims.

"A stage setup for the purpose of eliminating all misfortunes of fate, burying the earth with magic, and drawing all mankind into a theatrical performance."

"If everything in this world were a play, there would be nothing left to be sad about."

"Even if it might be a tragedy, it's just following the script."

"On Witch's Night, the drama stops, the earth has long since stopped turning even once, and the story no longer changes."

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both witch's nights."

Amidst the raging hurricane, the Incubator's voice drifted out quietly. Watching the boy struggling to calm the wind, its crimson eyes gleamed in the darkness as it spoke in a complex tone:

"How is it, Gensou? In order to entertain you, we specially brought this witch into this world ahead of time, and even added a little bit of seasoning. We hope you are satisfied."

"Hmph, so what? Has the so-called savior of the universe completely torn off his mask and come after me now?"

Gensou snorted coldly, a flash of ark light in his eyes. In an instant, an invisible soul impact exploded in the air. The eyes of the incubators darkened slightly, and blackish-red blood flowed from Gensou's nostrils. But the boy smiled triumphantly. He had won this battle. He had defeated the collective consciousness of the incubator race. As the victor, the incubators' collective thoughts were temporarily suspended. At the same time, Gensou also received the evil thoughts flowing back and feeding back from them, and glimpsed their thoughts.

civil war.....

In that brief moment, a significant conflict erupted within the incubators. Those infected by malice clashed with those who had not yet returned to normalcy over their plans for the future. The former wanted to continue, and even intensify, the training of magical girls, while the latter believed that they had already acquired new development resources besides magical girls, and there was no need to solely focus on this Earth. They could pursue both approaches to facilitate a smoother progress.

Thus, an internal struggle began, and judging from the current situation, the former has undoubtedly achieved a temporary victory.

Then there's not much to say. These guys are all after him; they want to kill him so they can experience life with emotions again. In this situation, even the idea of ​​protecting the universe and preventing heat death might have to be temporarily put aside.

"Yuanxiang, come on. I know you don't like us, so let's start by conquering this Witch's Night."

There was little left to say between the two sides; all that remained was a fight to the death. The incubators understood that they held a certain advantage over the source village in their current state. They had never imagined that they would face such a predicament one day. Therefore, they brought out the Witch's Night, using this unprecedented witch as their weapon to annihilate the source village.

"Yuanxiang, don't go there, it's too dangerous..."

Just then, a shell grazed the corner of Gengo's clothes and landed on Witch Night. It was Homura Akemi. In that instant, she used time stop to complete the deployment of weapons and used the most powerful artillery fire, hoping to suppress Witch Night's actions as usual and gain an advantage in the upcoming battle.

However, as the incubator said, this Witch's Night is different from the past. It is determined to kill Gengo and the others. Heaven knows how much enhancement has been added to this witch. At least when facing this terrible strong wind, Gengo expressionlessly realized that the power of "cyclone" was not very effective. In this battle, it had only just begun when one of his arms was severed.

"We've analyzed your data..."

The incubator's words echoed in Yuanxiang's ears. He understood what was going on, but he didn't react to it. After all, he was facing a civilization that could step into the universe, so it was not surprising that they had some kind of advanced technology.

Continue.

The Witch's Night was still spinning there when the witch had fully materialized into reality. The city had been completely transformed into a barrier of raging winds. Sirens blared, and citizens fled in terror toward underground air-raid shelters. Homura Akemi wanted to continue helping Genji, but she, Mami Tomoe, and Kyoko Sakura heard Genji's words in their ears. After hesitating for a moment, all the magical girls turned around and assisted those with mobility issues to take emergency shelter.

"Xiaoyuan, you stay here."

After Homura Akemi took Madoka Kaname to the underground air-raid shelter, she grabbed Madoka's shoulders and said:

"Remember what Genji said: don't pay any attention to the incubators, and absolutely never become a magical girl. That will only bring misfortune. I'm leaving now. There are others waiting for me. Madoka, remember my words."

Homura hugged Madoka Kaname, then turned and left. Inside the underground air-raid shelter, Madoka quickly found her family, who had all arrived to take refuge. Hearing the howling wind, which could be clearly heard even through the thick walls, Madoka instinctively snuggled into her mother's arms. She wanted to open the dimensional chat group and tell her friends about her current situation, but she remembered Genji's instructions and ultimately suppressed her excitement.

Is this really a good idea?

Just then, Madoka Kaname heard a clear voice, turned her head and saw an incubator standing not far away, looking at her with seemingly innocent eyes, and softly saying:

"This is very bad. Your friends, and Yuanxiang, are all in a very precarious situation. Are you just going to hide here alone and watch them fight for their lives?"

"........."
