While chopping vegetables, Shiro Takamachi calmly said:
“Mr. Zhuangji helped many people back then, and people from both the legitimate and criminal worlds received his favors. So when the news from Yuanxiang came out, someone immediately went to investigate and confirm it. Although not many people have seen him, judging from the identity certificate, it is indeed correct. And if I’m not mistaken, Mr. Zhuangji even went to revise the child’s file, deliberately erasing his past traces. I just don’t know what the reason is.”
At this point, Shirou Takamachi remembered the copy of the file his friend had sent him. According to it, the child had lived in Fuuto since he was seven years old, and had lived in the city for a full ten years. This was no nonsense. He had just gone to look for the teacher who had taught the child, as indicated in the file. To this, Mafuyu Kirisu looked completely bewildered.
Oh, right, speaking of Kirisu Mafuyu, Gengo did leave her a part of his 'legacy'. When the remnants of the gods were discarded in the Earth Library, the boy secretly borrowed that power and modified some data. Well, at least from now on, Kirisu Mafuyu's housework skills will definitely improve. As long as she practices more, she will definitely not get into the situation where the more she tidies up, the messier it gets. In any case, from now on, her detective students will no longer come to help her.
Meanwhile, having finished his performance, Gengo circled back to the agency through the sewers. He took a deep breath, and after discarding some of his memories, successfully opened the door and entered Kiryu Sento's world. After asking a passerby for directions, he headed towards the coffee shop—
There was no way around it; the door was forcibly powered, so it's not hard to understand why there were some slight deviations during startup.
After Genji left, in the quiet office, the Aurora Curtain suddenly opened, but the gray spatial passage was constantly twisting, and black patterns like spider webs quietly appeared out of thin air. Kadoya Tsukasa, his face flushed, wanted to open the space-time passage to the Fuuto world. In his anger, he transformed directly, the crystal on his forehead turned purple, and a powerful force of world destruction emanated from his body, trying to forcefully break through the force that was blocking the Aurora Curtain.
But just then, a power that sent chills down Tsukasa's spine suddenly emanated from him. The deadly threat made the Kamen Rider roll to the ground. Ryotaro Nogami, behind him, also sensed the danger and grabbed his sword to help, but was held back by Momotaros, who was possessing him. Without a word, Momotaros turned and ran. Momotaros knew that if Tsukasa didn't want to die, he had a million ways to escape, but he and Ryotaro were out of the question. This unknown power was so overwhelming that even the Electric Train might not be able to withstand it!
"That is......"
Since Momotaros was controlling his limbs to run away, Nogami Ryotaro controlled his head to look back and see what was emitting such terrifying pressure. Then he saw that in the aurora curtain that Kadoya Tsukasa had opened, it was like clear water stained with ink, gray was pushed aside, and black was dancing wildly in it. In the very center, a hand had reached out as if to grab Kadoya Tsukasa. But in the next second, the hand disappeared. At the same time, the aurora curtain shattered with a crash, causing Kadoya Tsukasa to groan and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"What on earth is that thing?!"
Tsukasa Kadoya also saw the hand. Broken fragments of arm armor were embedded in the forearm, and the fragments had grown into the flesh, reflecting an ominous black and red light. The hand bones were exposed, and the entire hand bone joint was connected by mysterious black threads; otherwise, the thing would definitely have fallen apart.
At the same time, although Tsukasa Kadoya didn't think that such an arm could penetrate his armor, his years of combat experience warned him that if he were caught, he might really die.
"Who knows?"
Momotaros breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Aurora Veil shatter. She approached Tsukasa Kadoya and, looking at the pale-faced World Traveler, said with some concern:
"Are you really okay with this?"
"Not bad, cough cough cough, wow!"
Tsukasa Kadoya waved his hand, turned his head and spat out another mouthful of blood. However, this mouthful of blood was pitch black and evaporated on its own while in the air, leaving no trace on the ground. At the same time, in Tsukasa Kadoya's perception, the energy fluctuations after the mouthful of blood evaporated also disappeared completely.
"This is truly bizarre."
Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but mutter this as well. He could feel a decaying and stubborn soul force creeping into his body along the connection between him and the Aurora Veil, but now there was no trace of it. He really couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Hey, can you find anyone else to help?"
Momotaros also noticed that Kadoya Tsukasa seemed to be having some trouble, and asked him in a low voice with some unease. At the same time, she was also a little anxious. It was no wonder. At the entire terminal station, only the people on the electric train still remembered Gengo. Sakurai Yuto had forgotten him, and even that kid Fate had forgotten him. In the blink of an eye, the electric train that still remembered Gengo seemed like an anomaly.
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about Showa. They've been dragged into a parallel world and are fighting Shocker there. They're under a lot of pressure and are barely maintaining a balance. I came to find you because the old man asked me to find some help."
Tsukasa Kadoya sighed helplessly, then counted on his fingers and said:
"And the Heisei era is also quite outrageous. Kuuga, Agitω, Faiz, W, Fourze, Ooo, Ghost—these Kamen Riders not only lost their ability to transform, but they also forgot their past as Kamen Riders. The other Kamen Riders are either missing or have urgent matters to deal with. Ha... Compared to the Showa era, the Heisei Kamen Riders are really free-spirited and carefree in terms of personality."
I think you're the least qualified person to talk about this.
Momotaros and Nogami Ryotaro glanced silently at Kadoya Tsukasa, then patted their heads in exasperation and said urgently:
"So what should we do next?"
"Go and bring me Hai Dong Da Shu's equipment."
Tsukasa Kadoya calmly dusted off his clothes, his eyes sharpening.
"Since that guy is being punished, let's not waste our precious power. I'll try to use the power of Decade and Diend to see if I can rush into the source area. Ha... what trouble has this guy run into this time?"
459 The Glory of Defeat
The meeting between Tsukasa Kadoya and Ryotaro Nogami was just a coincidence. The former wanted to call for help to fight Shocker, while the latter was worried about Gengo's current situation and did not understand what had happened to cause such a terrible collective amnesia.
This caused the two groups to collide, and neither could enter the world where Yuanxiang was located. The locomotive of the electric train was almost smashed to pieces, but this was still impossible.
As for Tsukasa Kadoya's suggestion, using Deind's power is indeed a suggestion worth considering. And, to put it another way, what Nogami Ryotaro finds hard to accept is that after Genji's memories disappeared from everyone's minds at the terminal station, everyone unanimously believed that the Electric Train had played a huge role in the battle against Precia. Therefore, although none of the Electric Train members accepted it, the Electric Train's status at the terminal station has clearly been elevated. So, asking for Deind's equipment based on this shouldn't be a big problem.
"Hurry up, I'm going to find Grandpa Showa too. If possible, you can temporarily fill in for him. Don't look at me with such surprise. It's just filling in for one or two, not all of them."
Upon hearing the latter part of Tsukasa Kadoya's words, Ryotaro Nogami and Momotaros breathed a sigh of relief. For the sake of Gengo, they would not refuse Tsukasa Kadoya's suggestion, but if it really came down to replacing those Showa-era old men to fight against Shocker, they felt like they would vomit blood.
"Then let's take action."
Tsukasa Kadoya wiped his mouth, pressed his hand to his chest, took a deep breath to steady his breathing, lest he cough up another mouthful of blood.
Soon, both groups completed their tasks. Tsukasa Kadoya brought Kamen Rider 1 and 2, while Ryotaro Nogami brought the Deind Transformation Driver and the corresponding Rider Cards. After a brief conversation, the Denban Train roared away at high speed to take the place of the two Showa Riders. Fortunately, Momotaros's four Imagin could also simply manifest and fight. As long as Ryotaro Nogami was kept in the middle position and could possess them to fight at any time, they could temporarily fill the gap.
"This is truly a terrifying power."
Kamen Rider 2, Hayato Ichimonji, stared in astonishment at the aurora-covered curtain that had opened before him, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from it. For a moment, he was at a loss for words and could only silently look at Takeshi Hongo. The two nodded vigorously, their entire bodies gathering power. Under Tsukasa Kadoya's gaze, the two Showa Riders emitted a golden light.
That's right, it was the power of 'Glory'. After hearing Tsukasa Kadoya explain the situation, the Showa Riders immediately realized that Gengo's problem might be more troublesome than their own Shocker, so they immediately used this miracle from all the Showa Riders once again.
However, to avoid being discovered by Shocker, the Showa Riders split the power of 'Glory' and placed it on Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2 respectively, in order to reduce the attention they might attract from Shocker. They absolutely did not want to bring the Shocker of this even more terrifying parallel world to Gengo.
At the same time, upon seeing the two Showa Knights preparing to combine the power of Glory, Tsukasa Kadoya unhesitatingly abandoned control of the Aurora Veil. If he were to suffer another backlash, he feared he would truly be lying down and waiting to die.
The power of the glory was still terrifying, more terrifying than expected. How to put it? It was clear that these Showa Knights really wanted to free Genji from his current situation, and they had brought out all their trump cards.
but......
As Tsukasa Kadoya watched the golden glory approach the aurora curtain corrupted by an unknown force, the next second, to the astonishment of Takeshi Hongo and Hayato Ichimonji, the power of glory vanished without a trace, leaving no trace. At the same time, the darkness that was corrupting the aurora curtain suddenly spread, so fast that even a Kamen Rider could not escape. A broken hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed Hayato Ichimonji's arm tightly. At that moment, the hand that Hayato Ichimonji was grabbed shattered. His mechanically modified body was as fragile as glass in front of this hand.
Moreover, things weren't that simple. Hongo Takeshi noticed that as the hand struck, something seemed to be pulled out of Ichimonji Hayato's body. He quickly reached out and dislocated Ichimonji Hayato's entire arm, then swiftly created distance. Subsequently, the darkness stopped spreading, and the aurora curtain shattered as well. In this space, everything returned to the calm and tranquil state.
"Meng, why am I here?"
Hayato Ichimonji shook his head vigorously, looking blankly at his friend beside him. His missing arm also made him pause for a moment. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Tsukasa Kadoya and said:
"Tsukasa Kadoya, this enemy is exceptionally powerful. If we want to defeat him and save the world, we have to find more Kamen Riders to help us."
"Wait, what enemy? We're here to rescue people, to rescue Yuanxiang!"
Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya and Takeshi Hongo exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding washing over them. Hongo grabbed Hayato Ichimonji's shoulder and said in an incredulous tone:
"You haven't forgotten about Gensou, have you?!"
"Yuanxiang? Who is this person?"
Hayato Ichimonji also stared in astonishment at Takeshi Hongo. Judging from his tone, it seemed that the man named Gengo had a good relationship with him and Takeshi, but it really didn't affect him.
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't something that can be explained by blanking out..."
Tsukasa Kadoya's face was unusually grim. Takeshi Hongo steadied Hayato Ichimonji and looked at him, saying:
"Go find Philip and Shotaro. Although their 'joker' and 'cyclone' are not as good as Gensou's, they are still from the same source. Maybe we can get some information from them."
"That's impossible."
Tsukasa Kadoya shook his head helplessly. He had already been to the world of Kamen Rider W, where Kamen Rider W had vanished without a trace. Shotaro Hidari and Philip were no longer Kamen Riders. The former worked as a detective with Sokichi Narumi, while the latter enjoyed family reunions with the Sonozaki family. Although some requests brought these two former partners back together, their relationship was merely that of acquaintances. It was simply impossible for them to achieve the same level of understanding as when they were Kamen Rider W.
Is someone targeting all Kamen Riders?
Upon hearing this, Hongo Takeshi's expression immediately turned serious. The fact that the Showa and Heisei eras had both experienced incidents at the same time was hardly a coincidence.
"I don't know, at least I haven't found any clues yet."
Although Tsukasa Kadoya said this, his expression was indeed quite confident. After all, he was also a member of the Heisei Riders and could use the powers of various Kamen Riders. If the other party wanted to erase the Heisei Riders, they would have to fight him head-on. In other words, Tsukasa Kadoya, who possessed Gengo's 'joker' and 'cyclone', was quite confident that he could fight any enemy to a standstill.
"But before that, we may have to go somewhere else."
Faced with their current predicament, Tsukasa Kadoya and Takeshi Hongo fell into silence. It was a problem that seemed unsolvable for the time being, but at least for Takeshi Hongo, there seemed to be one clue to look at.
"Um?!"
Tsukasa Kadoya raised an eyebrow curiously, looking at the remaining power of glory in Takeshi Hongo's hand after it had been scattered. Following the direction it pointed, he opened a new Aurora Veil. Of course, this time the Aurora Veil did not contain the power of Deind, otherwise, the World Wall might have malfunctioned.
"This world..."
After passing through the aurora curtain, Tsukasa Kadoya and Takeshi Hongo immediately sensed the dense energy in this world, and...
"Yuanxiang has caused quite a stir in this world."
"That's right, seven or eight out of ten, it's probably no smaller than the Battle of the Sky Rift back then."
Tsukasa Kadoya reached out and rubbed the air. Although it was very faint, it was indeed a trace of Gengo's existence.
"The power of glory also exists in this world."
Hongo glanced around, then fixed his gaze on the school not far away, and whispered:
"Let's go take a look; maybe it's a backup plan left behind by Yuanxiang."
"Ah."
Tsukasa Kadoya picked up the Transformation Driver, and the power of the World Destroyer was suddenly released within him. Immediately afterward, he changed his clothes, and at the same time, he acquired a legitimate identity in this world, one that allowed him to enter and leave that school.
"That guy Yuanxiang, I wonder what he's plotting. Oh well, I hope he really is plotting something, otherwise something bad is going to happen."
Hongo glanced at Ichimonji Hayato, and Kamen Rider 2, understanding the situation, moved aside to hide himself. After all, his current state of having lost an arm was too eye-catching. However, since he was a cyborg, it wasn't a big problem; he could just get an arm back later.
As a seasoned world traveler, Tsukasa Kadoya was quite adept at his work. In addition, Takeshi Hongo was a genuinely highly educated individual. Although years of fighting had washed away his scholarly airs, his composed demeanor was still convincing. As for that carefree guy with a camera around his neck, he could simply be regarded as a teacher with an assistant.
Excuse me, may I bother you?
Guided by Rongguang, Tsukasa Kadoya and his group quickly found Madoka Kaname. The child, sensing the presence of Tsukasa and Madoka through the strange beating of his heart, broke away from his group and came to Tsukasa. Tsukasa instinctively greeted him casually, then realized that it would be more appropriate for Takeshi Hongo to speak this time, so he naturally stepped aside and waited for their conversation to end.
In fact, the conversation between Madoka Kaname and Takeshi Hongo went much more smoothly than Tsukasa Kadoya had imagined. After all, the presence of Eikou had, to some extent, quietly smoothed things over, and their shared roots allowed the conversation to quickly get on track.
Kaname Madoka told Hongo Takeshi and Kadoya Tsukasa everything that had happened during this time, but the child did not see any surprise on the faces of the two. After all, the boy's record included the existence of gods. In a sense, even if he became an existence above the gods, it would not be surprising.
In contrast, they were more interested in what happened next. Gensho said it was a desperate struggle, and given the current situation, it certainly fits the description. This level hardly qualifies as a desperate struggle; they would believe it even if Gensho were to perish.
"Um, Uncle Tsukasa Kadoya, Grandpa Takeshi Hongo, is Gengo really alright?"
Having said all that, Kaname Madoka looked at the two in front of her with a mixture of worry and anticipation, while Kadoya Tsukasa waved his hand confidently and said:
"You have to have faith in Yuanxiang. He doesn't want to die, so I really can't think of anyone who could harm him."
"Yes, that's right, child. Don't worry about that. Once Yuanxiang has dealt with these matters, he will come to see you again. By the way, since the power of glory still exists in your body, I'll give it to you as well. I hope it can protect you well for Yuanxiang during this time."
Without hesitation, Takeshi Hongo channeled the only Glory Power he had into Madoka Kaname's body. Watching the golden light flow into her entire body with her blood, Tsukasa Kadoya and Takeshi Hongo exchanged a glance. How to put it? It must have been Hongo who did some kind of treatment to allow the heart's embryonic form to fuse so perfectly into the girl's body.
It truly is the source of the village; it's flawless.
Kadoya Tsukasa couldn't help but sigh to himself. Then, at Hongo Takeshi's prompting, he casually chatted with Kaname Madoka for a bit, promising to meet again at Gengo's office someday.
"You mean... what Yuanxiang and that child said is true?"
After leaving the school, Hongo Takeshi immediately whispered to Kadoya Tsukasa, to which Kadoya Tsukasa helplessly shrugged and replied softly:
"We have no choice but to believe it now. You know Gensou's style. He always handles everything he says perfectly, making it difficult for anyone to investigate. So, old man, you guys hurry up and deal with Shocker. I'll find out who's targeting the Heisei Riders. When the Showa and Heisei factions join forces, even if Gensou is setting up some kind of dead end, we'll break it. Hmph, that guy usually likes to use brute force to overcome everything, but this time it's our turn to give him a taste of his own medicine."
Hearing this, Hongo pondered for a long time before finally nodding heavily. Indeed, as a teammate, Gengo was quite reliable, but if he were on the opposite side, dealing with him would be a real headache.
