Seeing Gengo's peaceful expression, Kinomoto Sakura understood the boy's suicidal intentions. Overwhelmed with grief, she wept and pleaded with Gengo, crying out in a heart-wrenching voice:

"Sakura doesn't want you to leave, Gengo-nii! Can you really bear to see Sakura so heartbroken? Gengo-nii, Gengo-nii... Gengo-nii!!"

Accompanied by Kinomoto Sakura's cries, the child was pushed out of the cycle of reincarnation, and this pitch-black space was completely sealed off. The cold hand once again rested on Genji's body, but this time, the boy sighed helplessly, turned around and broke free from the restraints, standing alone before the ten thousand corpses.

Although I don't remember exactly, someone must have said that a place that someone misses is a place that can be called home, and that you should crawl back to that place even if you have to crawl!

Yuanxiang looked around, his gaze falling on his ghostly self. He adjusted his hat, raised his hand, and began counting on his fingers:

"First, I shouldn't have lost my fighting spirit. I shouldn't have chosen to give up so voluntarily. That would have been so unmanly. Second, I shouldn't have let my child cry for me and lose her bright smile. Third, I shouldn't have lost my conscience. No matter what your motives were, you did hurt Fengdu. So, I should fight you to the death. Now, I have counted my sins."

Gengo retrieved the Joker Memory. Cyclone had already dissipated along with its own existence; after all, it represented the wind of Fuuto, and the memories of Earth. Under these circumstances, it was difficult for it to remain by his side any longer, therefore...

My old friend, from the beginning to the end, I have always had you by my side. I am so lucky.

"rider...henshin."

'Joker!'

Gensou gripped the memory in his hand, letting out a low growl. Black mechanical patterns, like teardrops, pierced through Gensou's eyes and spread downwards. Numerous dark purple fragments swirled and adhered to Gensou's body, forming a jet-black surface. Then, red compound eyes, deep purple borders, and a deep red gem embedded in the center of his silver-white 'W'-shaped horns appeared. In the pitch-black space, the black knight stood in the center, extending his hand and pointing to the ghostly figure of the First One, speaking in a deep voice:

"Come, count your sins."

"Roar!!!"

Meanwhile, the former Kamen Riders launched their fiercest attack on Gengo, and within the dark cycle of reincarnation, an endless battle seemed to be raging...

Outside the cycle of reincarnation, Kinomoto Sakura walked dejectedly to the office, only to find it completely empty. Not a trace of the place where Genjo had once lived could be found. Overwhelmed with grief, Kinomoto Sakura collapsed to the floor and wept bitterly. She didn't know how long she cried, only that when she was feeling dizzy from crying, she heard the echoing sound of bells. She wiped away her tears and looked out the window, seeing the clock pointing to twelve o'clock. It was Christmas, the sound of bells celebrating the holiday. Snowflakes had begun to fall outside the window, quietly accumulating on the windowsill.

It's Yuanxiang's birthday now... it should be Yuanxiang's birthday!!!

Sakura Kinomoto sobbed, tears welling up in her eyes again, but at that moment...

"Don't cry, I'm back now, aren't I?"

? !

Hearing a familiar voice in front of her, Kinomoto Sakura looked up in surprise and saw Genji, pale-faced and clutching his severed arm, smiling at her.

The Kamen Riders in the cycle of reincarnation are indeed very strong, but Gengo was also a member of the cycle at that time. As long as the cycle is not broken, he is also immortal. This means that as long as Gengo continues to fight, the final reincarnation rider and the original reincarnation rider will inevitably meet, and that will be the key moment that may break the cycle.

"Has only half a day passed? The time flow in there is definitely wrong. I feel like I've been playing for ages."

Gengo leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground, looking at Kinomoto Sakura with a wry smile and whispering, "Indeed, based on my own perception, Gengo must have been fighting in the cycle of reincarnation for a very long time—ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years! Until he had smashed everything in the cycle of reincarnation to pieces, marked everything with his own mark, and forcefully suppressed everything under his power, breaking the almost invincible cycle of reincarnation from the inside!"

Yuanxiang was incredibly grateful that, compared to the dead, he had retained his sanity and his indomitable will; otherwise, that battle would have likely lasted even longer.

"Alright, Sakura, don't say anything more. Let me get some sleep, I'm so tired..."

Looking at the sleeping boy before her, Kinomoto Sakura finally snapped out of her daze. Her heart was filled with surprise and shock, so much so that she didn't know what expression to wear. But now...

Sakura Kinomoto used her magic to lift Genji and teleport him towards her home.

Now we need to find a comfortable bed for Yuanxiang!

........

A week later, the wind was still blowing gently, caressing the teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls) outside the window. Inside the office, Gensho was greeting a young guest who had come to visit, but...

"Brother Yuanxiang, do you have any other fruits besides peaches here?"

Nanoha Takamachi glanced at the fruit platter, then at the basket beside the bookshelf, and couldn't help but say:

"Brother Yuanxiang, don't you ever get tired of eating this?"

“It’s not a matter of getting tired of eating it,” Yuanxiang said, twirling the peach in his hand. “It’s the kind of fruit that has sentimental value. Okay, aren’t you going out with someone?”

Yuanxiang pointed to the clock and said with a smile:

"We'll be late if we don't leave now!"

"Oh no!! It's already so late, I'm going now, Gensou-nii!!!"

Nanoha Takamachi glanced at the time and hurriedly got up. Genji smiled and leaned against the window. With a casual flick of his wrist, a pitch-black ring appeared in his hand. This was the power he had gained after escaping from the cycle of reincarnation. It was with this power that he was able to continue writing his future, even though his existence had been completely erased.

He hasn't mastered this power very well yet. With more time to familiarize himself with it, he might be able to use the power of reincarnation to try and find the existence that was erased back then.

At that moment, Gengo saw Nanoha Takamachi standing in the alley, lost in thought. He saw a portal open in front of her, from which Illya, Barbara, and Sakura Kinomoto jumped out. Gengo quietly greeted Sakura Kinomoto, then turned and left the bedside, put on his coat, and prepared to attend to his own request.

At that moment, Yuanxiang suddenly sensed something. His figure abruptly appeared on a street not far away, and the Ring of Reincarnation appeared in his hand, replaying the scene that had just happened. He 'saw' the crane's rope suddenly snap, and the suspended heavy object crashed down towards the crowd with a whooshing sound. Suddenly, a serrated light wheel flew over and instantly cut the heavy object into several pieces—no, it cut it directly into extremely fine powder!

Seeing the change in the heavy object, Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow and used the Ring of Reincarnation to restore the heavy object, thus preventing losses at the construction site. He then walked towards the nearest small square and saw a young man wearing a trench coat. He had slightly messy, tousled hair, a handsome face with distinct features, and clear, bright eyes that seemed so pure that not a speck of dust had ever settled in them. The smile on his lips was like a gentle breeze, and he held a cup of soy milk in his hand, taking sips from time to time.

"Oh, thank you so much."

At this moment, the young man turned around, smiled, waved to Yuanxiang, beckoning him over, then scratched the back of his head, smiling sheepishly, and said:

"I didn't realize what was happening and instinctively cut the thing away. If it weren't for you restoring it, I don't know how long I would have had to work here to compensate for the loss."

Who are you?

Yuanxiang sat down next to the young man. The boy didn't sense any hostility, but he was genuinely curious. He felt a sunny kindness emanating from the man.

"Me? I suppose I should call myself a traveler."

The young man smiled and pointed to himself, saying:

"A traveler who aspires to be a hero."

"Hero? What a beautiful word."

Yuanxiang extended his hand to the young man and said with a smile:

"My name is Gensou, a detective from Fuuto."

“My name is Yuan Mao. What a coincidence, our names are so similar.”

Subaru smiled, reached out, and grasped Genji's hand, whispering:

"I've heard your story. You're a truly remarkable warrior. I hope my light can help you a little."

"Oh?"

Yuanxiang looked down unexpectedly and saw a soft light entering his body. Instantly, most of the hidden injuries left from the battle in the cycle of reincarnation disappeared.

"Light is the bond; even if I am not by your side, my thoughts will always be with you. Goodbye, my friend whom I have just met."

Are you leaving already?

Hearing the sounds echoing in his ears, Yuanxiang looked at the empty seat next to him, smiled, stood up, waved to the sky, and said goodbye to his friends whom he had just met.

Genji finished his job for the day with a cheerful heart. As the boy packed up to go to sleep, the door shone brightly, and a girl dressed in simple clothes entered the office holding a leaf. Then, the door lit up again, and a rather burly high school student with muscles all over his body entered, holding a hat. At the same time, a traveler appeared before Genji, his walls covered in gray, a magenta camera hanging around his neck, and holding a semi-transparent knight card. The boy chuckled and inwardly marveled at the 'miracle,' then stood up, looked at everyone, smiled, opened his arms, and softly said:

"Welcome to Fuuto Detective Agency. I am Gengo, the director and detective. Everyone, I know you are full of questions, so... how about we sit down, have a peach, and then talk things over?"

Finish this testimonial

The story of Gensou has come to an end. Having escaped the cycle of reincarnation, he will embrace friendship and love like a normal teenager, eventually growing into a reliable detective and a gentle father. These epilogues will be filled with happiness and warmth, permeating every moment of the boy's future life.

On the other hand, Changge is very happy to witness the completion of a book with readers once again. Although the book's performance cannot be compared with other big names, it is still the best book in my writing career. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all readers for their support. I am truly grateful. Every post, every vote, and every subscription is a great encouragement to me. I am really, really grateful for your support!

As for the new book... I think you've all seen it. The plan is to write about 'Subaru Minamoto' and the story of the Giant of Light. The initial idea was to use some of the ideas from Yu Ishigami's book, but unfortunately, the idea wasn't mature enough at the time, so I changed it to Sword Saint. However, I'd also like to try writing about one of the mobile games. I'll leave this question for me to ponder for a while.

Getting back to the main topic, after finishing this book, Changge will probably take a break for a while (a few weeks?). Actually, it's not really a break. Changge has been looking for some tutorials on online novel writing and wants to try to further her studies so that she can present better stories to everyone.

Thank you all for being with me all this time.

I am Changge Qiexing, and I hope we can meet again in a new story.
