Gengo grabbed the stone slab next to him and threw it upwards. Then he leaped high into the air, using the slab as a springboard to propel himself even higher, heading towards the giant's head. When he interrupted the giant's cannon earlier, Gengo saw the slime floating in the middle of the giant's head.
However, after detecting Genji's actions, the enemy immediately responded. Gel-like tentacles shot out from the Titan's body, with those flying from the front mainly used restraint techniques, while those attacking from all sides were drills carrying rock fragments, creating a situation where Genji was to be killed in mid-air.
Gengo acted decisively, using his Flame Fist to shatter the drill and using the recoil to avoid the attacking tentacles. But he immediately reached out and grabbed one, using the momentum to swing towards the giant's body before the tentacle assimilated him. However, the drill and tentacles that charged out again forced Gengo to give up this opportunity. He kicked through the tentacle and returned to the ground.
However, this time it wasn't a complete waste. When he got close to the giant's body, he discovered that the defenses on it seemed to be activated in zones. This meant that if he rushed up, he would face continuous high-intensity interference, but he could handle that level of interference.
To get there, Yuanxiang got into position, stomping his feet on the ground one after the other, gathering some energy on them. This was partly to accelerate, and partly to prevent him from stepping into the green data stream between the rubble and being assimilated by it. Then, he let out a low shout, like a race car, and charged upwards along the giant's feet.
As Genji had predicted, the Titans' bodies were like heavily fortified fortresses. When he stepped into them, he was met with a tremendous counterattack. But as soon as he broke out of that area, the tentacles and drills there would give up the pursuit and replace them with new 'fortresses' to take over the defense.
With a flurry of cleavers, Yuanxiang cleared a path through the tentacles and drills that filled almost his entire field of vision. But in an instant, countless more tentacles emerged. At this moment, Yuanxiang had transformed into a torch. Most of the Lungmen people could see that purple light flickering in the blinding green light, precarious yet relentlessly advancing.
Just as they were gripped by tension, the purple light suddenly burst into a brilliant burst, its speed increasing dramatically. Even the tentacles couldn't keep up with its pace. Moreover, the purple light's charge didn't end there. Every time its momentum slowed, its light would burst into a blaze, increasing its speed once more. After repeating this three times, the purple light directly struck the giant's head.
This was all planned by Gensou. He began to understand why Shocker insisted on using his own data to form the battle mechanism of Paradise Lost. This data virus, which evolved with the goal of enhancing survival, was unusually rigid in its counterattacks. If it were the original version, he probably could have soloed it.
That's it!
"Rider Punch!"
With a loud shout, Gengo's fist, crackling with purple-black lightning, easily pierced through the giant's neck defenses and surged towards the 'slime' from within. The churning flames continuously neutralized the surrounding assimilation attacks. Gengo dared not waste any time and directly plunged his hand into the slime's body. Then, he deactivated the transformation of his hand, attempting to absorb it into his own body.
Surprisingly, despite the slow speed and the slime's constant resistance, the method seemed to work. Genji saw his bare hand begin to heal, and at the same time, a feeling of hunger urged him to eat it as soon as possible.
However, as the core malfunctioned, the giant was also affected. Although its movements ceased, its massive body began to disintegrate, like a melting candle, dripping out disgusting sludge and, following its own program, devouring everything around it in an attempt to provide resources to the core and repair its damage.
However, the core was unable to respond to them or reclaim them. Without instructions, the slime began to devour and assimilate without restraint until it exceeded its own limits, triggering a series of terrifying explosions.
Meanwhile, as the slime continued to separate, the giant could no longer remain still. Under the bombardment of Lungmen and the influence of the natural environment, it swayed for a while and then lay down on its back. If it lay down like this, the shelters in the same direction would also be subjected to terrible impact.
Gensou saw all of this. He sighed regretfully, but his hands moved without hesitation. He thrust his other hand into the slime's core, releasing a frenzied purple-black lightning that instantly destroyed the core.
At the same moment, the giant's body, which was still connected to the core, was destroyed. The colossal creature that had been accompanied by a terrifying howl just a second ago was completely transformed into green light particles in the next second, drifting away lightly with the wind, as if countless fireflies had been released into the sky above Lungmen.
Yuanxiang landed on the ground with a somersault, looking at the wreckage all around him, then down at his healed left hand, without saying a word, lost in thought.
"Hey, Yuanxiang, you're surprisingly capable!"
Just then, a familiar voice came from the side. Gensou looked up and saw Hoshiguma, covered in wounds, dragging her Oni Mask Shield as she walked over. Her face was full of exhaustion, but she also showed a bright and hearty smile:
"I thought you were some kind of office worker! Oh dear, I was so mistaken! Hahaha!!!"
"It's alright, it's nothing."
Gengo deactivated his transformation and wanted to go over to help Hoshiguma and ask about Chen's condition, but at that moment, he suddenly saw Hoshiguma's expression change. Following her gaze, he was horrified to find that his left hand had undergone a terrifying transformation. His entire hand, along with his forearm, began to swell continuously, and the blood vessels on it were writhing wildly like living things. Gengo's expression froze, and he grabbed the broken blade stuck in the tree trunk next to him and cut off the arm.
But before that, his arm had already been torn apart, and blood-like data streams rushed out from the blood vessels and torn muscles, converging into a slime core the size of a human head.
Is the data overflow caused by incomplete data absorption?
Yuanxiang had a guess in his mind, but there was no time to verify it right now. He had to strike while the iron was hot and not give it a chance to develop again.
"Joker!"
"Prajna!"
Two roars rang out at the same time, and Gengo, who had transformed, and Hoshiguma, who was spinning the Oni Mask Shield, charged toward the remaining core. But at this moment, the remaining slime that had not received any orders suddenly surged in from all directions.
And in this process, they undergo morphological changes through assimilation, and the deformed human bodies that Yuanxiang had previously seen in the underground pipes reappear.
After taking shape, the slime's mobility surged, frantically destroying everything in its path. Genjiro and Hoshiguma's attacks were completely neutralized by the slime's shield. After Hoshiguma managed to stand up, she found herself surrounded by what seemed like an endless array of deformed monsters. Their overwhelming numbers left her momentarily at a loss for how to cope.
Have these guys split up again?
Gengo, his face dark, reached out and touched the 'Trigger' memory, but he was also worried about whether he could protect Hoshiguma and thus destroy the remaining core.
Hmm? This is...
Gengo's fingertips touched the 'Trigger' memory, but suddenly his mind was stirred. He took out the memory next to it. In the gentle breeze, the memory emitted a soft green light, as if it was waiting for Gengo to use it. Without hesitation, Gengo took out the 'Joker' and planned to test the power of the 'Cyclone' form.
But before Gengo could insert it into the Lost Driver, a gust of wind blew by, pushing his hand aside, which startled Gengo.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
At this moment, the deformed monsters had rushed within ten meters. Yuanxiang gritted his teeth, sent 'Cyclone' into the special attack gauge, and then slammed it down.
"Cyclone! MaximumDrive!"
In that instant, a raging wind, seemingly filled with fury, rose from the center of Gengoku and continued to expand outwards, sweeping all the deformed monsters into the air, including the slime core. The entire Lungmen could see this green tornado connecting heaven and earth, and a light green breeze kept blowing through the streets and alleys, making the citizens of Lungmen very nervous.
But this wind was strange; it only carried away the monsters that had been missed. Everything else was as if it were being held down by an invisible force. Although they couldn't move, it was still better than being caught in that deadly tornado.
Wow, where did Old Chen find this person?
Just moments before, Hoshiguma had been ready to fight to the death, but now, feeling somewhat exhausted, she looked at the dark figure and couldn't help but click her tongue. She had already foreseen that those of them who had been in contact with Gensou would likely find it difficult to have any peace in the coming period.
On the other side, Gengo gritted his teeth, enduring the terrifying impact of the ultimate energy. He understood why 'Wind' hadn't let him transform directly with 'Cyclone'. The unimaginable burden of transformation would probably destroy the Lost Driver on the spot, and he would be unable to continue fighting.
As expected... I can't use Philip's 'Cyclone' as a reference for my 'Cyclone'.
Gensou struggled to move his nearly numb arm, slammed it down into the special move gauge once more, and then the howling wind lifted him up, sending him flying towards the tornado.
"Cyclone! MaximumDrive!"
"Tuo!"
A wind drill formed from the soles of Gengo's feet plunged into the tornado, and the next second, Gengo emerged from it, landing on one knee. He slowly stood up, his back to the tornado, and whispered:
"Come and count your sins."
"boom!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tornado exploded. In the fierce 'wind,' both the monster and the core were completely annihilated. The program within Gensou's body also stopped its alarm, signifying the end of this sudden battle.
The battle had just ended when seven dark figures appeared, surrounding Yuanxiang in a circle. They were all wearing bamboo hats, clearly subordinates of the dragon-headed man. The dark figure standing directly opposite Yuanxiang took two steps forward and said in an admiring tone:
“Mr. Yuanxiang, we are subordinates of Lord Wei Yanwu. We thank you for your help. Let us escort you to rest. We mean no harm. It’s just that Longmen is in too much chaos right now, and we are worried that some villains might have ulterior motives.”
Yuanxiang could sense that these people meant no harm, but he also understood his current situation. Rather than entrusting his safety to these strangers, he trusted himself more.
"It's already past midnight."
Genshou's abrupt words caused the shadowy figures to blink in confusion. As he finished speaking, a faint light appeared on the dilapidated door not far from him. He dragged himself towards it, and the shadowy figures exchanged surprised glances before finally focusing their attention on the one who had been communicating with Genshou. That person gestured for him to remain still, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and called out:
"Mr. Yuanxiang, Lord Wei said that his door is always open for you, and you are welcome to visit anytime!"
Gensou didn't say anything, but silently walked into the portal and returned to his familiar office. After deactivating his transformation, he sat on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and remained silent for a long, long time. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table, shattering it with a single blow!
086 You should hate me
But after making that slap, Gensho suddenly calmed down. He looked at the table, sighed, and covered his cheek with one hand.
I was in a state of impotent rage. Yes, I was in a state of impotent rage. I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it. This door was in my own home. It could connect to another world. People could walk through it. It could deliver goods. I knew all of this. But I ignored this possibility and failed to investigate in time, which led to the casualties in Lungmen.
It's my fault, it's all my fault, I killed them... No, wait, now is not the time to talk about this.
Gengo remembered something and immediately opened the door to go to the Demon Slayer Corps. A short while later, Kanae Kocho, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened and saw Gengo standing by her bedside as soon as she opened her eyes.
How many times have you been to my place?
Genji's voice was completely flat, so calm it sent chills down one's spine. Kanae Kocho swallowed hard and whispered:
"Only twice, once when I sparred with Ms. Chen, and once when I went to the amusement park with everyone."
"I understand. If it's not important, don't come to my place anymore. If you go and don't see me, remember to tell me later, 'Go to sleep, I'm leaving, don't follow me.'"
After saying that, Genji disappeared, leaving behind a worried Kanae Kocho. Genji acted as a human radar, even activating his 'Cyclone' ultimate move, using the speed of 'wind' to thoroughly search the surrounding area. Only after no alarms sounded did he return to the office.
But after a short rest, he transformed again and went to Lungmen to assist the Lungmen authorities in their rescue operation.
Any task requiring machinery can be accomplished by his bare hands; any urgent transport mission can be completed in the shortest possible time, delivering people or goods to their designated location; any blockage in a crucial area can be cleared in the blink of an eye with the help of 'Joker' and 'Trigger'; and any troublemakers who come near him are instantly knocked unconscious and tossed to the nearest police station...
With such a versatile helper, the chaotic situation in Longmen quickly stabilized, and that dark figure moving through the city became a source of reassurance for many Longmen citizens.
As Yuanxiang brought the new citizens to the shelter, the people he had rescued rushed to surround him, offering him food and expressing their gratitude, wanting him to eat something and rest. They had seen him working since late at night without eating or drinking anything, and without taking a break. Even someone made of iron would not be able to endure that. Moreover, they wanted to know the knight's name, after all, he was their savior.
Facing the enthusiastic crowd, Yuanxiang glanced at them, then at the sorrowful and dejected people behind them. He took a small step back, as if to say something, but suddenly stopped. Data flashed rapidly across his eyes, and then, as if something had gone wrong, his head drooped abruptly. He then raised his head expressionlessly and answered softly:
"My name is Gengo, and I am also Kamen Rider 'Joker'. You don't need to thank me, because this disaster is because of me. Everything I have done is only to atone for my sins, but I'm sorry, I can't atone with my death right now, so... hate me, hate me with all your might."
This answer left everyone around stunned. Although some people noticed the change in Yuanxiang's aura, they didn't care about such things because of the hatred he was drawing. Yuanxiang didn't say anything more, turned around and left, continuing to run through the ruins and carry out rescue operations.
Then, when Yuanxiang threw the criminal next to a police car, a police officer suddenly drew his gun and pulled the trigger at Yuanxiang. Although he was immediately stopped by his colleagues, Yuanxiang could see from his eyes that the officer wanted to eat him alive.
Has the news spread? Then we need to be careful with our next move, lest those seeking revenge accidentally harm others.
As Yuanxiang pondered this, he switched back to his 'Joker' form and continued carrying the medical supplies toward the aid station. But when he arrived there this time, the medical station was much quieter, with only the uncontrollable cries of pain echoing around him.
Amidst pairs of hostile gazes, Yuanxiang reached out to block the thrown dagger, caught a slipper in the process, then used the slipper to knock away the thrown mineral water bottle. He then grabbed a flying medicine bottle, placed it steadily on the cabinet, and walked to the doctor while protecting the medical supplies.
He placed the box on the table, his back constantly being hit by various objects, while a scalpel was forcefully cutting into the reinforced skin at his throat. Genji waited a moment, then patted the doctor, whose mind was consumed by resentment, and pointed at the box, saying:
"Let me check. If there are no problems, I'll be leaving."
"........."
"Okay, if there are any omissions, remember to report them to the center."
Yuanxiang looked at the doctor who had bitten his lip until it bled, and didn't linger any longer. After all, the doctor was already too busy, and if he angered one of the doctors, it would only cause more trouble.
And so, time passed little by little, and the city gradually quieted down as midnight approached. Yuanxiang sat on the roof of the dilapidated building, looking at the endless ruins without saying a word.
"I remember your name is Yuanxiang, right? You've had a long day, aren't you going to eat anything?"
At this moment, the dragon-headed man he had encountered before, holding a pipe, slowly walked to his side, leisurely exhaled white smoke, and then handed the pipe to him, saying:
"If you don't have an appetite, have a bite of this; it can relieve some fatigue."
“Mr. Wei Yanwu, please speak frankly. There’s no need for formalities now.”
Today's rescue efforts also allowed Yuanxiang to indirectly learn a lot, such as that the leader of the dragon head is named Wei Yanwu, and he is the ruler of Longmen.
"Alright, I'll be frank. Although I haven't figured out exactly what happened, since you've taken the initiative to take responsibility, I won't stand on ceremony."
Wei Yanwu twirled his pipe, and together with Yuanxiang, they looked into the distance, and he said softly:
“Lungmen needs an outlet, and I also need to give an explanation to the outside world, so from now on, Kamen Rider ‘Joker’ is a wanted criminal in Lungmen.”
"okay."
Yuanxiang nodded in agreement. This was his original intention. After suffering misfortune, everyone would be full of negative energy. Keeping it inside would harm one's health, and improper venting would cause trouble. That's why he said those words, so that the people would direct their anger at him. Once they felt better, they could move forward into the future, and the city would be considered to have come back to life.
“But I can’t die now, so if Mr. Wei wants to take my head to appease public anger, I will fight back.”
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. My subordinates barely escaped a disaster, how could I possibly use them to fill your bottomless pit?"
