I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander Hoshiguma. I wonder if I could borrow a jacket? I left mine inside, and it's a bit chilly tonight with the wind blowing."

"Hey, you should have said so earlier. I thought you had done this look on purpose. Xiao Wang, get a spare one from the trunk."

"Hoshiguma! Stop chatting! You haven't answered my question yet!"

Just as Hoshiguma was greeting them, Chen Huijie suddenly turned her head and asked her a question. Hoshiguma shrugged and said helplessly:

"Old Chen, we didn't come here on your orders. We received intelligence that there was a trap set up against you here, so we rushed over. To be honest, if we hadn't arrived at the right time and launched a counter-ambush outside, you would have been facing more than just 'Iron Man' and 'Dead Rat'. Old Chen, you were too impulsive. You shouldn't have acted on your own."

"It's rare to find traces of these two. If they get away again, who knows how many more people they'll harm. Alright, Hoshiguma, stop nagging me. How could I not handle two bastards?"

Chen Huijie instinctively wanted to cover Hoshiguma's mouth, but noticed that Gengo was looking at her subtly. Under his gaze, Chen Huijie couldn't help but lower her head and cough awkwardly. If it weren't for Gengo's help, she would probably be in a very bad situation now. Even if she could defeat those two guys, she would probably be infected and wouldn't be able to continue being a police officer.

"Ahem, um, where did Char Siu Cat go?"

Chen Huijie quickly changed the subject and continued to ask Hoshiguma. Hoshiguma, while holding his shield, replied, "I went with Nine-Point Head to investigate that mysterious terrorist organization. You know, if it weren't for that terrorist organization leading the way, Lungmen wouldn't be in such chaos lately."

"Tsk..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but click her tongue. It was quite inexplicable that such an organization had suddenly appeared in the past two days, constantly launching attacks in the Fourth District using puppets, which had also stirred up those restless guys in Longmen.

Meanwhile, Gensou, standing to the side, gradually learned about some aspects of this world from the police officers' conversation. This world has a contagious disease called "Originium Disease," which causes "Originium Crystals" to grow on or inside the bodies of those infected, causing them great suffering. There is no cure for this disease, and it is extremely contagious, with each infected person almost becoming a new source of infection.

Was that attacker who just attacked us an infected person?

Yuanxiang recalled the guy who had just committed suicide, and pursed his lips with mixed feelings. Just hearing about it made him feel that tragedies were happening in this world every moment.

"Manager Gensou, why don't you go to the Imperial Guard Bureau to rest for a while?"

After dealing with the scene, Chen Huijie looked at Yuanxiang and suggested that since she still had to meet up with the other members to track down the terrorist organization, she really didn't have time to entertain Yuanxiang.

But at that moment, Chen Huijie and Xingxiong saw Yuanxiang's eyes suddenly light up. Then, the boy exuded a fierce aura, which startled the two of them so much that they instinctively gripped their weapons. A police officer with dog ears nearby even had his legs go weak and almost fell to the ground.

"This is a data virus? How could this be...?"

Yuanxiang looked to his left and murmured in disbelief. Just now, he felt the program in his body start up on its own and lock onto a location, which meant that there was a virus data body there. But why, why is there this here?

"Chen, how many times have you been to my place?"

"Just three times, and you've seen them all the time, oh, right."

Chen remembered something and quickly said:

“There was one time I tried to go over there, and I even pushed the door halfway open, but then for some reason it was forcibly closed again. But I remember it was so bright over there, all green and dazzling, that I couldn’t even open my eyes. And my palms were really sore at that time. What happened to Yuanxiang?”

"...If I'm not mistaken, a very troublesome enemy is coming. You're alright, probably because that point of light protected you."

'Joker!'

As Gengo spoke, he pressed a button on the memory chip, activating the Lost Driver:

"Anyway, I'll head over there first. Hopefully, the situation is still within my control."

After saying that, Yuanxiang, who had completed his transformation, stomped his foot and leaped high into the air, quickly moving forward between the houses of varying heights. The direction he was heading was the Fourth District, which was frequently hit by terrorist attacks and was also the Fourth District where Chen was temporarily staying.

"Damn it... Leave three people here to wait for the aftermath team, the rest of you come with me to the fourth district to provide support!"

Hearing Yuanxiang's words, Chen Huijie's face turned extremely ugly. She never expected that she would bring trouble to Longmen. After giving the order, she grabbed a motorcycle and planned to go ahead, but was stopped by Xingxiong. At this time, as the team leader and police superintendent, she could not leave the command position without permission.

On the other side, following the instructions, Gensou quickly moved towards the marked location. Fortunately, it wasn't far, and within a minute, he had arrived nearby. He heard a burst of gunfire coming from the tavern. Without having time to go through the main entrance, Gensou fell directly down, crashing through the ceiling and joining the battle. Standing there were monsters that shimmered with dark green light, resembling stone golems, attacking the Guard Bureau survivors hiding behind the counter.

"Oh no, young lady, this time it's even more formidable."

Looking at the Yuanxiang falling from the sky, a police officer holding a shield smiled wryly and said to the little tiger girl behind him, "Why don't we hold on for now, Miss, you go find reinforcements?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not going to leave you behind."

Tiger Girl swung her chain hammer and said in a deep voice, "I already sent out the rescue request. Now all we have to do is hold back. Brothers, if you get back alive, I'll personally give you ten times the bonus this month!"

'Thump!!'

The bounty for the little tiger had just been issued when Yuanxiang finished his observation and began his operation. The power unleashed by his fists and feet easily shattered the stone golems. After rubbing the broken stones, Yuanxiang discovered that they were just ordinary stones, but they had gained such power after being attached to the data virus.

What Yuanxiang is most concerned about is that the data virus in Longmen seems to have merged with something in order to survive better, and thus mutated accordingly.

Compared to its original form, the data virus at this moment is more like a parasite. No wonder the program didn't detect it when it first arrived here. It wasn't until the number of virus puppets here accumulated to a certain level that the program alerted it.

Fortunately, something unexpected happened on my end; otherwise, things would have been really difficult for Chen to handle.

Yuanxiang secretly rejoiced, but he did not let his guard down. Even though the data virus had mutated, its nature of expansion and assimilation remained unchanged. If this thing was not eliminated as soon as possible, it would eventually grow into a huge disaster.

Thinking of this, Gensou took a deep breath, flames erupted from his fist, and after a series of muffled thuds, all the stone golems that had once left the Guard Bureau members helpless fell down.

"Ahem, I am Beatrice Swire, Superintendent of the Lungmen Guard. Do you need any assistance?"

Faced with the formidable black figure, the surviving members of the Guard exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of how to proceed. Ultimately, they turned their attention to their leader, leaving the decision to the little tiger. Without hesitation, she coughed lightly and identified herself.

"Evacuate the people in the surrounding area."

Yuanxiang frowned as he looked at the alarm clock that kept ringing, and said bluntly:

“It’s dangerous here. There are an unknown number of enemies lurking nearby. Chen and Miss Hoshiguma are on their way here. Ask them to come and help you. Keep them away from here.”

Huh? Not a stranger?!

Swire glanced at Yuanxiang in surprise, but didn't say anything more. He gestured for his subordinates to leave. Regardless of this person's identity, they probably wouldn't be able to play much of a role in the upcoming battle.

Is he hiding underground?

Yuanxiang ignored the departing guys and lifted the floorboards, pondering the abnormal patterns underneath. Although he couldn't see clearly whether the parasitic viruses had been destroyed, the red dots displayed by the program shouldn't be wrong.

Looking at the red dot that was dozens of times larger than the Shocker leader, Genji immediately had a bad feeling. If nothing unexpected happened, there was probably a big guy waiting for him.

"Is the evacuation not finished yet?"

Once such a large creature starts moving, this area will definitely be affected. So Yuanxiang waited patiently until he felt that the time was about right before going out to ask Chen. Chen gave Yuanxiang an 'OK' sign.

Yuanxiang nodded, telling them to run far away. Then he returned to the tavern, remained silent for a while, concentrated his energy, shouted loudly, and threw a punch. The purple energy burst forth on the ground, collapsing the layers of structure beneath, allowing Yuanxiang to reach the deepest part of the tavern without any obstruction.

There, Yuanxiang saw a green slime-like monster slowly pulsating, its surface densely covered with Originium crystals resembling Oripathy.

With each jump, Yuanxiang could see a thick, dark green slurry, like phlegm, pop out from the depression beneath it. Before rolling, the slurry would continuously absorb and assimilate the surrounding soil to grow stronger, and within seconds it would become the stone golem he had just seen.

But that wasn't the most terrifying part. In the underground pipes to the left and right, Yuanxiang also saw cocoons. Inside the cocoons slept incredibly twisted human bodies. The bodies with four heads and seven legs were relatively normal. This mutated data virus was far more cruel than its original form.

"Shocker is really persistent; he can still cause trouble for people even now."

Yuanxiang tapped the ultimate attack gauge, muttering as he gathered energy, intending to completely destroy the virus's core with a single kick to prevent any unforeseen events.

However, the data virus, which evolved into this form in order to survive, is exceptionally sensitive to crises. Just as Yuanxiang was gathering its strength, the slime emitted a piercing electronic noise.

At the same time, countless fluorescent clusters separated from it, corroding and assimilating everything it came into contact with. It was also spreading continuously, and the entire underground space was trembling. Only then did Yuanxiang realize that this cluster of viruses was actually like a tree, with dense roots extending downwards. And now, this rapidly growing 'tree' was about to be uprooted and become something like the legendary 'tree people'.

"Hey Pink Dragon, how do you know that fierce guy? I don't remember there being such a person in Dragon Gate."

In the distance from the tavern, Swire nudged Chen Huijie with her elbow and asked curiously. She had learned some of the details during the evacuation of the civilians and was very eager to know the identity of the dark figure. Chen Huijie, however, kept a straight face and did not intend to answer her. Swire swished her tail hard, intending to have a good chat with Chen Huijie to pass the time.

But at that moment, a terrifying tremor came from beneath their feet, like an earthquake, knocking down everyone around them. Then, the ground in front of Chen and the others was directly ripped open, and dust and gravel rained down like a storm. Hoshiguma quickly pulled over her Oni Mask Shield and protected Chen Huijie and Swire behind her.

At the same time, sharp-eyed Chen Huijie and Swire saw a dark figure also lifted up by this terrifying force and fly straight into the sky.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Hoshiguma, however, was more focused on the strange man in front of her. It was unimaginable, truly unimaginable. Hoshiguma had never even dreamed that one day a giant as large as a mountain would appear in Lungmen. This monster was so huge that even if she slapped it with her shield, it wouldn't be enough to tickle her. Could Lungmen really deal with such a monster?

Bah, bah, bah, what discouraging words! This is Dragon Gate. Even if this monster wants to destroy it, it'll have to step over my dead body first!

Hoshiguma clicked her tongue and looked at her companions. Chen Huijie and Swire also gripped their weapons tightly, clearly having made the same decision. But just as they were about to launch their attack, the giant moved slightly, creating a hurricane-like wind. Swire was immediately blown away, and Chen Huijie only managed to hold on for a few more seconds before crashing into the struggling Hoshiguma, taking her with her.

"Char Siu Cat, are you alright?"

A short while later, Chen Huijie, lying in the ruins, let out a painful whimper. She felt as if she had been hit by a car, but Swire, hanging from the broken beam next to her, worried her more. She suppressed her pain and asked loudly. Swire smiled at her when she heard her voice, but then said nothing more. It seemed that she was also seriously injured.

"Alright, let's take you to the hospital first. This is beyond our ability to handle."

Hoshiguma struggled to sit up. Although she looked quite disheveled, she was in much better shape than the other two.

At that moment, the three of them suddenly heard a gurgling sound like drinking water. They all looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the giant lit up with light from top to bottom, finally transferring the energy into his mouth. The energy that distorted the air was like a green sun, illuminating the night sky of Lungmen.

At this moment, Lungmen, having realized what was happening, began its attack on the giant. However, these initial emergency attacks were all in vain, unable to interrupt the giant's charge. Seeing the energy about to be unleashed, everyone felt a sense of despair. Chen Huijie even shed tears of regret. If she hadn't opened that door, Lungmen wouldn't have suffered such a terrible disaster.

At that moment, a streak of purple light descended from the night sky like a shooting star. Before the eyes of everyone in Lungmen, it slammed into the giant's head. In that instant, the giant's head tilted downwards, and the purple and green energies collided, triggering a terrifying explosion in the air. The violent shockwave swept through Lungmen like a typhoon.

At the same time, a dark shadow was also swept away and blown out. With nowhere to gain leverage in the air, Yuanxiang used his body to plow several thin tracks in the Dragon Gate.

After finally coming to a stop, Gensou groaned and slowly released his hands from protecting the Lost Driver and the memory. He lay on the ground, panting heavily. He never expected that the mutated data virus could grow to this extent in such a short time.

Fortunately... fortunately we discovered it early, otherwise... I really might not have been able to beat them by myself.

After regaining some strength, Gensho gritted his teeth and tried to prop himself up. At that moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind him and helped him up. Gensho turned around and saw a rather majestic dragon head, which startled him. He subconsciously reached out to poke it to see if it was alive.

"Friend, what can we do for you?"

Before Yuanxiang could extend his finger, the dragon-man spoke softly, asking a question. Yuanxiang paused slightly, then instinctively replied:

"It's really alive... cough cough, I don't need any help, you should take refuge quickly, it's not necessarily safe here either."

After saying that, Gensou took a deep breath, let out a low roar, and flames burst from the gaps in his armor, propelling him toward the giant like a rocket. After he left, a dark figure wearing a straw hat appeared beside the dragon man, head bowed, waiting for his command.

"Continue to organize a counterattack, and if you have the capacity, lend a hand to that unknown friend."

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing the dragon's command, the shadow vanished instantly, while in the distance, Gensou once again confronted the giant that was devouring and assimilating him!

085 Cyclone! Maximum Drive!

Green slime dripped from the giant's body, and anything that touched it, whether alive or dead, was assimilated. Then, the bulging slime slowly crawled towards its own body and merged into it. As a result, the stone fragments on the giant's body visibly glowed, making those who knew about such things twitch their eyebrows.

If this thing is allowed to grow any further, it might become a moving mountain of Originium. Even if it is defeated, the subsequent Originium infection would be enough to plunge the entire Lungmen into the abyss.

But it's not too late.

Gensou sliced ​​through the slime that was trying to assimilate him with a single palm strike, watching it burn to ashes by the energy flames, before turning his gaze to the slow-moving monster.

Judging from the data transmitted into its body, a complete collection of data viruses must have a core, like the mechanical core of an alien creation, or the Shocker leader's body that wandered into a parallel world. By analogy, this virus giant, whose essence has never changed, should be no exception. Perhaps its core is the 'slime' that I have seen before.

And there's one more thing.

Yuanxiang silently pressed his chest. The reason his data body could only last for three days was because the processed virus could not generate a core.

But now, while defeating the giant, I can also try to see if I can seize its core to maintain my current existence. To be honest, the data body is pretty good. It doesn't need to eat or sleep, and it doesn't need to worry about dying from complications when injured. With the core, it can even automatically recover from injuries. It couldn't be more perfect.

The price is simply giving up that physical body, which is not unacceptable. No matter what the body becomes, as long as the heart of a 'human' is not lost, it will always be human.

But this is not the time to dream.
