Suddenly, Hiroi Shinzo noticed something strange about the scene outside the window, but before he could shout, the restaurant door was kicked open, and a bunch of strange people rushed out yelling…
121 Philip: This is outrageous.
"This is truly impossible to guard against."
Gengo skillfully gripped 'Fang' in his hand, using it as a dagger to hold off the first enemy to charge in. After eliminating the enemy's vanguard, he transformed into 'Joker' and faced off against the elite monsters that followed. Meanwhile, Takeru Tenkuji noticed that a demon was attacking from behind Hino Eiji and Hiroi Masazou by passing through the wall. Without hesitation, he summoned his eye-god and transformed into Kamen Rider Ghost to confront the enemies that only he could see.
“Makoto, come behind me.”
Hino Eiji grabbed a stool, fought off the enemy who rushed in front of him, then grabbed Hiroi Masazou, who was standing there inexplicably, and took out the transformation belt—OOO Driver, put it on his waist, took out three coins from his pocket and put them in it, pushed the driver down, and then used the scanning ring to scan the overflowing driver, releasing the power in the coins.
Amidst the transformation sound effects of "Taka·Tora·Batta!Ta-To-Ba!TaToBaTa-To-Ba!", the power projection of the three coins appeared in front of Eiji Hino and then shone on his body. After the light faded, Kamen Rider OOO appeared in front of Shinzo Hiroi.
"It's okay, I won't let those bastards hurt you."
Hino Eiji said firmly to Hiroi Masazou. During their time together, he had also noticed that this person's situation was special. Naturally, Hino Eiji wanted to protect this 'child' who was gradually getting to know the world. Seeing the enemies rushing towards him, Kamen Rider OOO silently raised his hands and launched an attack like a tiger.
.......
I can do it! I can do it! I definitely can do it!
On the other side, Tenkuji Takeru looked at the menacing Eye Demon and involuntarily took a step back. At this moment, behind him, Gensou shouted loudly. The black knight was worried that the battle on his side would destroy the shop, so he forcefully pushed all the surrounding enemies outside the shop.
Hearing the battle cries echoing in his ears, Tenkuji Takeru stopped his retreat. Although he was still unsure whether he had been defeated by the Eye Demons one after another because of a lack of confidence or fear, he trusted Genji. Since his companions had full confidence in him, he could not let them down. Even if he was defeated again, he could not lose too badly.
Takeru Tenkuji caught the Eye Demon's fist with one hand, and took the opportunity to smash the enemy's chest with his other hand. The powerful force sent the Eye Demon flying backward along with it. Kamen Rider Ghost roared and chased after him.
.......
On the other side, Gensou broke the monster's spear in half, then plunged the spearhead into the head of a nearby enemy. He followed up with a circular hand chop, splitting all the monsters who couldn't dodge in two, creating a blank space around him. Of the group of enemies, only one lone beholder remained, trembling in place.
Wait, are these guys trying to take me back?
Meanwhile, finally able to spare some thought to analyze the situation, Genji recalled the battle and realized something was amiss. The enemy's attacks were indeed fierce, wave after wave, so dense it left him no time to breathe. But now, upon reflection, none of the attacks seemed aimed at his vital points, which was very strange...
No, if these guys are after the crystal on my chest, then their actions are understandable. The reason they are so hesitant in their fight is probably because they are worried that the crystal will be damaged.
Tsk... What a pity, it came to their senses too late.
Yuanxiang sighed regretfully in his heart. If he had thought of this earlier, he should have just lay down and seen how they would deal with him. If they carried him back to their lair, then the next steps would have been much easier.
Gensou, while lamenting, defeated the remaining Eye Demons with a single punch. He then turned to check on the others. Meanwhile, Tenkuji Takeru, seeing the Eye Demons who were already dazed from his attack, formed hand seals. Orange-yellow power gathered behind him, forming an eye-like seal. He then pulled the handle of the Ghost Driver, causing the seal to disperse and all the power to concentrate on his right foot.
At this moment, the minotaur roared and pounded its chest as it charged towards Takeru Tenkuji. Kamen Rider Ghost, meanwhile, floated into the air and, as if leaping from a standstill, unleashed a powerful kick with the cry of "Omega Drive," striking the enemy squarely in the chest and instantly killing the minotaur.
Seeing that the situation was bad, the other eye demon turned to run away. Just as it turned around, it saw a black voice and Yuanxiang slapped the eye demon across the face without mercy, causing its head to turn back and die on the spot.
"Village! I did it! I did it!!"
"Ah, well done... Lord, behind you!!"
Tenkuji Takeru waved excitedly to Gengo, who generously gave him a thumbs-up. But just then, a bewitching demon suddenly emerged from the ground behind Tenkuji Takeru and swung its claws at him. Although Tenkuji Takeru had heard Gengo's warning and noticed the bewitching demon's presence, this unexpected outburst threw him into a panic.
Run! No, I should throw a punch! Wait, it's too late...
Tenkuji-sensei watched in horror as the sharp blade drew ever closer. His mind, which had been filled with joy, went completely blank. Just then, an arm wreathed in purple flames shot out from the side, grabbed the incredibly sharp blade, and snapped it in two. Then, the Eye Demon was kicked away by Gensou and completely engulfed by the energy flames.
"Don't look so listless."
Gensou clapped his hands, grabbed Tenkuuji Takeru who was slumped on the ground, shook his shoulder, and said:
"You've done very well, but the enemy is too cunning. They managed to hide in a place like this. If it were me when I first became a Kamen Rider, I probably would have suffered a loss too. Alright, alright, take it slow. You can't become a fat man in one bite."
"I understand."
Tenkuji Takeru quickly realized what was happening and nodded with a smile to Gengo. It was obvious that the Ghost's state of mind had changed drastically from before, and his confident smile was the best explanation. Gengo smiled and helped him into the store. He saw Hino Eiji, who had also finished his battle, cleaning up with a worried look on his face. He really didn't know how he would explain to the store manager why it was in this state when he returned.
At this moment, Yuanxiang pondered for a moment, looked at everyone, and said softly:
"This time the enemy is targeting me, so I plan to go alone and see if I can fish out some clues."
"No, it's too dangerous."
Hiroi Masakō retorted without hesitation, while Hino Eiji, after some simple thought, also advised Genji:
“I have a lot of confidence in your strength, but let’s wait until Senior Shotaro and the others arrive before we consider this plan. After all, we don’t even know who the enemy is or how strong they are. If something unexpected happens, Tenkuji and I might not be able to reach you.”
That's the truth. Kamen Rider OOO's power comes from special Core Medals, which can be switched to deal with all sorts of situations. But now, with Eiji Hino's partner Ankh gone, no one can accurately throw the Core Medals that Eiji Hino needs into his hands during battle, which has caused his fighting power to decline significantly.
Takeru Tenkuji held the same attitude as Eiji Hino. Moreover, unaware of the ins and outs, Takeru Tenkuji felt that if this plan had to be carried out, he was the best bait. After all, among the three Kamen Riders, he was the weakest, so it was always easier to bully the weak.
"The enemy might be watching us right now. Once Shotaro and the others arrive, they might hesitate to act and choose to temporarily withdraw, which would be a waste of such a good opportunity."
Yuanxiang shook his head, sticking to his own idea. Right now, he was in a very passive position, with no initiative at all. This made Yuanxiang very uneasy, worried that something unexpected might happen. So he decided to test the waters first. If he failed, there would be no loss. If he really found a clue, it would be a huge gain!
"Boom!!!"
Just as Yuanxiang was about to continue persuading everyone, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the window, as if a building had collapsed. Everyone rushed out and was shocked to see that the strange light screen had reappeared in the sky not far away.
But this time, what fell from the light screen was a bridge. Yes, it was a bridge that was still open to traffic. Cars fell from the sky like dumplings, and the bridge crashed directly into the building next to it, causing countless casualties.
Gengo hurriedly took out 'Cyclone', preparing to transform and fly over to save as many people as he could. But suddenly another light screen appeared. This time, nothing came out of it, but the light it emitted had terrifying power. Gengo saw a girl turn into an infant instantly after being exposed to the light, while a young man not far from her aged beyond recognition, his entire body covered with age spots.
Yuanxiang didn't have time to analyze the situation carefully before rushing to save people. Although he tried his best, unfortunately, many people still died, some even in his arms.
He sighed heavily, sat on a public bench in the hospital, and clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the sky. The rest of the crowd gradually gathered around him, all silent, but a surge of anger was brewing among them.
"Wait, I remember now!"
Suddenly, Hino Eiji's eyes widened as he looked at the spot where the bridge had collapsed, and he said to everyone in disbelief:
“I’ve seen that bridge when I traveled before, and I shouldn’t be mistaken for its distinctive eagle head logo, but it was deemed unsafe and demolished three years ago. That’s… impossible.”
"Doctor! Doctor!! The patient in bed number three is dying!"
"Doctor! The patient in bed number sixteen has stopped breathing!"
"doctor...."
"medical....."
"..."
As soon as Hino Eiji finished speaking, Gengo and the others heard a sudden burst of shouts from nurses inside the hospital. They rushed over and found that the people who had suddenly died were the driver and passengers that Gengo had rescued from the bridge. They were unconscious when they were rescued, and Gengo thought they had just fainted from fright, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, all their vital signs have disappeared, and their bodies are rapidly desiccating. In the blink of an eye, these deceased have become withered corpses, and then ashes like desert sand.
“.........”X4
Witnessing all of this, the four members of Gengo fell into a deeper silence and anger. Hiroi Shinzo punched the wall, leaving a deep fist mark on it with his extraordinary strength. Although he was not human, he still felt angry after witnessing all of this. He was angry at the mastermind's wanton trampling on life. This made him think of that bastard, Banno Tenjuro.
"Eiji, why aren't you staying at the restaurant? What are you doing here?"
Just then, a clear, cold voice came from behind them. Everyone instinctively looked back, but saw no one. Hino Eiji, however, skillfully bent down and pulled a hand out from the greenery—a strange hand with brightly colored, bird-like wings—and said worriedly:
What are you doing here? Where is the policeman's body?
"Hmph, he was just tricked by a bastard."
Although it had no mouth, the hand still uttered words clearly, causing Takeru Tenkuji to show a look of surprise as if he had seen a ghost. The hand slapped away Eiji Hino's hand that was trying to grab it, and said weakly:
"Don't worry, that body is being taken care of by the doctor, otherwise why would I be here, um..."
The hand suddenly let out a mournful cry and slowly fell from the air, as if it had lost its strength. Hino Eiji quickly caught it and said happily:
“Ankh, thank you. If something happens to the police officer, I really don’t know how I will explain it to Bina.”
"Hmph, it's not for that little brat. It's just that if that body breaks down, I'll be in trouble too."
"Eiji, let's find another place to talk slowly."
Gengo looked around and stepped forward, quietly reminding Hino Eiji, who was clearly too excited to pay attention to his surroundings. Hino Eiji realized what was happening, smiled awkwardly, and then whispered to the hand, "Just bear with it for a moment," before putting it in his pocket. He then hurriedly left with the others, finding a quiet place to introduce the arm to them.
And this hand is none other than Ankh, the partner that Hino Eiji has always been thinking about. And its true form is Greeed, who can create Yummy (devouring monsters). Starting from this point, Hino Eiji begins to tell everyone about the origin of Kamen Rider OOO.
Eight hundred years ago, alchemists in a certain country, in order to create artificial life, condensed the power of various creatures into coins, and took one coin from each of the ten core coins of each element, leaving it missing and becoming the number "9", thus creating the desire to seek completeness.
This desire brought about amazing evolution and will, resulting in the birth of Greeed. Eight hundred years ago, Kamen Rider OOO wanted to absorb the power of all the Core Medals and become a 'god', but he lost control because he could not withstand that enormous power, and all the Greeed were sealed away.
Eight hundred years later, the seal was broken, and the Greeed were all able to escape. However, according to Ankh himself, because he only possessed one 'Eagle' Core Medal containing his own consciousness, he has only revived one arm so far.
Although he can float and move in this state, his movements are greatly restricted, and he is also at risk of being targeted by other targets. Therefore, he usually chooses to possess the body of the policeman that Hino Eiji mentioned.
"But Ankh, haven't you already collected four Core Medals? Why are you still only holding one hand?"
On this topic, Hino Eiji curiously pressed Ankh for answers. He had asked this question before, but Ankh had angrily interrupted him, and he hadn't had a chance to bring it up again. Now, he seized the opportunity to ask again, mentally prepared to be scolded by Ankh. But to his surprise, Ankh didn't get angry this time. Instead, after a moment of silence, he honestly answered:
"Because something unexpected happened..."
Eight hundred years ago, when Ooo went berserk, Ankh separated his right hand from his body in order to retrieve the Core Medals. As a result, his right hand, along with his mind and other Greeed, was sealed in a sarcophagus. He thought his body outside had become an ordinary coin, but he didn't expect to become a mummy like Yummy. Therefore, no matter how many Core Medals Ankh collects, he can only maintain the state of having only one hand.
"In that case, go and find your body, Ankh!"
Hiroi Shinzo stood up excitedly. Among this group of humans, although everyone treated him kindly, Hiroi Shinzo still felt somewhat uncomfortable. But now, with this fellow non-human appearing, a strange sense of familiarity welled up within him, hence his joyful shout. Hiroi Shinzo subconsciously glanced at Genji, but saw Genji silently shake his head. Under his questioning gaze, Genji looked at Ankh and softly asked:
"Mr. Ankh, were you attacked by your own body?"
"A smart kid, much better than that big oaf next to you."
"you!!!"
Ankh's words made Hiroi Masazou's eyes widen, while Hino Eiji apologized on behalf of his companion and comforted him, saying:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ankh has a sharp tongue, please bear with me."
"Hey, Eiji, I meant..."
'Bang! Bang!'
Just as Ankh was about to argue with Hino Eiji, Gengo gently tapped the table, interrupting him, and said with a kind smile:
“Mr. Ankh, the situation is rather urgent. Shall we talk about business first?”
".....good."
Looking at that smile that seemed ready to turn from 'kind' to 'nuclear' at any moment, Ankh couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of non-existent saliva. This feeling of being watched by a monstrous beast made the awkward guy behave and recount the whole story of his attack.
The story begins with the Yummy (Desire Monster) that was destroyed by Gengo at the beginning. At that time, he and Hino Eiji split up to look for clues about who destroyed it, but they were unexpectedly approached by a phantom. He said that he had all of Ankh's lost Core Medals. In exchange, after Ankh possessed nine Core Medals and became the complete form, they only needed to do one small thing for them.
Ankh naturally didn't believe this, as he was also fond of scheming and knew that such seemingly freebies were always poisoned. However, the phantom seemed to understand Ankh's thoughts, leaving behind the words, "You will soon witness our strength, and then you can decide whether you want to cooperate with us," before disappearing after leaving a contact number.
Then, as time moved to the moment when the light screen appeared and coins rained down from the sky, Ankh, who had witnessed the magic of the black coins from the outside, immediately decided to try his luck and see if he could actually get all the coins out.
After all, the power of those black coins is no less than that of the Greedy Core Coin. Ankh is willing to gamble, betting that they truly do not value his power and are only forced to cooperate with him for some reason.
Of course, Ankh also had a backup plan for escaping, and he didn't let Hino Eiji follow him, because he was worried that the whole army would be wiped out without even a chance to fight back.
