Was this guy, who was so strong, really killed by a hail of bullets in history?

Yes, from the very beginning, the griffin angel recognized the black knight's identity, but unlike its creations, it didn't take "Origin" too seriously. It believed that as the "Master's" masterpiece, it would be invincible, and that "Joker" couldn't possibly be its match. And then...

But his defeat was truly unavoidable; he had done his best, but the other side had become utterly inhumane. However… he now possessed the altar!

The griffin angel felt the power it controlled and was immediately filled with confidence, after all, the "desire" within it was endless!

Indeed, as Ankh said, Greeed's desire for 'completeness' is extremely terrifying, which is why Foundation X chose this terrible 'desire' as the core of this altar, the initiator of the 'Gospel' project.

Although in history, various departments

But there is one thing that technology cannot replicate: the time that these Greeed core coins have experienced, the eight hundred years between their creation and their reawakening.

Although Foundation X also found many treasures with the sedimentation of time, in order to balance energy supply and the sedimentation of time, these Core Coins with endless 'desires' are undoubtedly the best choice.

The purpose of Consortium X's pursuit of 'time sedimentation' is to completely destroy the planet's timeline. A small leak can sink a great ship, and with 'eight hundred years' as the trigger, they can achieve their goal.

When all of 'time' has vanished and this planet returns to its original state, 'the Lord' will use His holy relics to reshape it, spreading His gospel to every corner. Then, together with His servants, He will watch as the 'new humanity' they create lives happily forever in the beautiful 'Garden of Eden,' just as 'the Lord' desires!

128 Gensou-sama, I'm your fan!

Okay, I take back what I said earlier.

Just as the Griffin Angel was confidently certain that he could use the power of the altar to kill the three people from Gensou, another deadly attack, as dazzling as stars, struck.

This time, the griffin angel used several times more energy than before to counteract it. Seeing that the momentum of the source was still increasing, the angel silently put aside his previous thoughts and then focused all his efforts on activating the altar. Although one faction was still missing two core coins, it didn't matter. The altar had relevant contingency plans and follow-up methods. With a formidable enemy at hand, it was best to make the altar complete its mission as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, the Griffin Angel didn't hesitate to throw part of its core into the altar to accelerate the catalysis between the core coins. At the same time, phantoms appeared around the altar, including 'angels', the shadow of Greeed, and many other strange figures that were unfamiliar to them. But they had one thing in common: they had obtained seemingly inexhaustible energy from the altar, which greatly enhanced their strength. To be honest, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their strength had increased four or five times.

"Ankh, don't you have any other coins? Can't you think of another way?!"

After the Griffin Angel began activating the altar, the powerful gravity dissipated, allowing Hino Eiji and Ankh to land safely on the ground. Looking at the powerful enemies around them, Hino Eiji disregarded his injuries and anxiously asked, because even if Ankh's Core Medal was included, he still didn't have enough of the three Medals needed for OOO's transformation.

Even if you say that, there's nothing I can do. We don't have enough coins... I've never encountered this situation before!

Ankh shouted impatiently, looking uneasily at the shadows of the Greeed. It wasn't its imagination, but it felt that those guys were particularly hostile towards it. Was it because the hatred that its original self harbored towards it was being projected onto the shadows?

"Don't be nervous, just run out. These are nothing, not even grunts. There's no need to pay attention to them. Hurry up, you might not be able to withstand the aftershocks if a fight breaks out. Hurry up!"

With a stomp of his foot, Yuanxiang unleashed a seismic wave that instantly shattered a ring of enemies. Simultaneously, as he gathered his strength, he gave a final instruction:

"Once we encounter other people, tell them to avoid fighting as much as possible. The situation here is too dangerous. Let's go!"

After saying that, Gengo waved his hand, and the resulting gust of wind pushed Ankh and Hino Eiji, who were running, against their backs, sending them flying nearly a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, even though some strange people wanted to attack the two live targets in the sky.

However, as Hino Eiji and the other two took flight, the purplish-black figure suddenly vanished. When he reappeared the next second, all the monsters spawned by the altar immediately stopped moving. Then, a series of neat explosions rang out, and headless corpses fell to the ground. Their bodies split into streams of energy, trying to return to the altar, but Gengo casually dispersed them all with a single palm strike.

That's a monster!!!

The griffin angel watched speechlessly as Gensou relentlessly pounded his fists against the altar's protective barrier. If he weren't now part of the altar himself, he would have been killed by the shockwave. But even so...

Cracks appeared on the altar's protective walls. Genji was digging into the cracks with his hands, trying to tear them open. The griffin angel was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to react. After all, in terms of sheer strength, the altar's defenses were no less formidable than those of the 'Lord'. Was the Gaia Memory really that powerful? Had the 'Museum' made a mistake?!

"Haa!"

Under the horrified gaze of the griffin angel, the protective barrier of the altar was torn open by the source. The energy leaking from the barrier exploded in the air, shaking the space and creating dense cracks, some of which even revealed a chaotic void.

But no matter how these energies erupted, they were like wild beasts that had smelled danger, keeping a safe distance from the location of the Source Village. Without the protective barrier, facing the Source Village directly, the Griffin Angel felt an intimidating threat that terrified it. It went berserk and unleashed all its power upon the Source Village.

However, these struggles were futile in the face of the knight's armor burning with flames. Genji didn't even need to pay attention to it, ignoring the so-called angel and directly targeting the orb of light that had absorbed all the core coins.

'RiderPunch!'

As the knight swung his iron fist, the purple flame surged toward the rapidly changing sphere of light, which instantly resembled lava. At that moment, the sphere of light seemed to possess a sense of self, and just before the purple flame struck, a figure resembling a western dragon broke free from the sphere of light.

Within the dragon's belly, both Genji and the griffin could clearly see that the core coins from Greeed had been completely shattered and merged into...

At the same moment, the five core coins, like caged beasts, began to attack each other frantically, trying to satisfy their desires by devouring one another.

That's right, it's desire!

The nine Core Medals, lacking the missing 'one,' gave birth to 'Greeed.' Now, a new coin meticulously crafted by Foundation X, as the missing 'one' from the nine, has unleashed unimaginable desires. When these new coins devour each other, leaving only one Core Medal, that coin will become the gospel of 'the Lord' with an incomparably terrifying desire!

"Hahaha!! It's over, Kamen Rider, your end has come!!"

Looking at the flying dragon in the sky, the griffin angel let out a hearty laugh. Then, under the light of this 'desire', he was broken down into wisps of dust and absorbed into the center of desire.

Genji's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard the griffin angel's last words. He simply clenched his fist silently, and green memory points once again drifted out from his body. Purple flames gathered and swirled around the Kamen Rider like stars, then spread outwards. A false night sky enveloped the world, but it was as if the real starry sky had descended upon it.

Immediately, Gensou jumped up as usual and threw a seemingly ordinary punch at the flying dragon. In that instant, 'Nightfall' and 'Stars' converged on this punch, and the coin-shaped flying dragon charged head-on towards Gensou, sweeping with endless desire and facing the knight's attack head-on with invincible momentum.

They both wanted to decide their fate with a single move!

In that instant, an apocalyptic scene unfolded. The sky and the earth trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks suddenly covered every inch of the landscape. The void above seemed like countless unknown eyes watching the earth, while the abyss above seemed like giant predators yearning for the sky. Shotaro and the others struggled to stand firm amidst the cracks, looking anxiously towards the epicenter.

At this moment, on both sides of the altar, both the flying dragon and Yuanxiang lay on the ground as if they were dead. About ten minutes passed in the desolate wilderness. The flying dragon's wings and claws twitched, and it struggled to get up. Looking at Yuanxiang, who seemed to still be unconscious, it opened its sharp teeth, wanting to devour Yuanxiang.

However, just as the light of desire emanated from its mouth, a sound like roasting meat suddenly rang out, purple flames burst forth and burned, and in less than a breath, a deep purple fist imprint appeared between the dragon's eyebrows. The dragon's body crashed down, its massive form dissipating, leaving behind a pure and flawless, unique Core Coin. But the Core Coin also rang out with a crisp sound, shattered abruptly, and then vanished into the world.

Kamen Rider 'Joker' succeeded. As the sole Core Medal was formed, he unleashed his most ferocious attack, forever shutting down the ravenous beast of desire.

On the other side, Gensou, who had slowly sat up, looked completely bewildered. Because he had lost too many memories in a short period of time, his brain was in a state of temporary confusion. For a moment, he couldn't remember why he wasn't eating peaches at the agency and had suddenly run to such a godforsaken place.

However, at the calls of Shotaro and the others, Gengo's bewildered eyes straightened slightly and then sharpened, clearly indicating that he had shaken off the confusion. He quickly got up, dusted himself off, and walked towards them.

"Yuanxiang, thank goodness, you're alright!!"

Looking at the smiling boy in front of him, Shotaro excitedly hugged him and patted him on the back. To be honest, compared to the tyrannical knight just now, he liked Genji this way much more.

But after the brief hug, Shotaro immediately thought of asking Gengo how he felt, since directly importing the Gaia Memory data into his own body would subject him to a terrifying amount of Gaia toxins.

However, before Shotaro could ask, Gengo glanced at him and Philip, then ignored Eiji Hino and Ankh, looked at Takeru Tenkuji in Kamen Rider Ghost form, and frowned slightly before saying:

"It's dangerous right now. I suggest you and Philip transform. I remember you guys said that when you transform into Cyclone Joker Xtreme, Philip's body will also merge into the Kamen Rider, right?"

"Well... Philip and I are now..."

Upon hearing this, Shotaro and Philip exchanged a glance, gave an awkward laugh, and were about to say something when a voice answered the question for them:

"Of course, it's because I can't transform."

A gaunt figure appeared before the crowd through a portal of light. He sat atop a massive, floating armchair and coldly addressed them:

"The power of the Gaia Memory ultimately originates from this planet, and now that the planet is dead, after exhausting the energy stored in the Gaia Memory, they naturally lose the ability to transform."

"..."

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone was speechless for a moment. Finally, Shotaro couldn't help but murmur:

“Yuanxiang…”

"He is not me."

Genji immediately rejected the idea. He looked at the newcomer, silently clenched his fist, and a black sun appeared behind him, transforming him once again into Kamen Rider Joker, saying:

"Even if he looks exactly like me, he is definitely not me."

“That’s right, I am not you, Kamen Rider, oh no, Lord Gengo.”

The newcomer, who bore a striking resemblance to Yuanxiang, clapped his hands and spoke in an extremely exaggerated tone:

"You are unique, and I am just a pathetic imitator."

"Imitator?"

Under Yuanxiang's sharp gaze, the newcomer placed his hand on his chest and said with a smile:

"Let me briefly introduce myself. I am the current chairman of the X Foundation. My name... just call me Shinichi, or something like that..."

With a casual flick of his wrist, a wisp of gray mist-like energy appeared in his hand. As he kneaded it, a figurine of the recently deceased griffin angel materialized. He exhaled onto the figurine, then looked at Genji and said:

"You can call me Lord."

"My Lord, thank you for your grace, this time I will certainly..."

As soon as Shenyi finished speaking, the griffin angel figure came to life, pointing its greatsword at Genji and the others while swearing allegiance. But Shenyi impatiently clapped his hands, and the resurrected griffin angel died again, turning into a cloud of gray mist, which Shenyi then tossed away somewhere.

"That's... a soul?!"

Having witnessed everything, Tenkuji Takeru uttered an incredulous sound. As a ghost, he clearly perceived the meaning represented by that cloud of gray mist.

Shinichi ignored Tenryuji Takeru's meaning, staring straight at Genji, and said in an unsurprising tone:

"Lord Gensou, you have indeed come back to life. Is this a blessing or a curse for you?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

"Calm down, calm down. Although we haven't had a formal talk, we have met before. I just don't know which time I met you."

Shen Yi calmly pressed his hand down, and instantly, a terrifying aura descended. Everyone except Genji was pinned to the ground, unable to move. Looking at Genji, who seemed unaffected, Shen Yi laughed and patted the armrest, saying:

“That’s right, that’s how it should be. Only you are worthy to continue this discussion with me. Yuanxiang, Yuanxiang, ah~~ it’s been so long since I’ve said that name. It’s really quite moving.”

As Genji watched Shinichi recite his name in a rapturous tone, he felt a chill run down his spine. Shinichi seemed to sense this as well, a strange yet nostalgic expression appearing on his face, mirroring Genji's, as he softly said:

"Lord Gensou, actually, I'm your fan."

129 I want the world to praise you!

"Don't look at me like I'm an idiot, I'm just telling the truth."

Shinichi chuckled as he looked at Gensou, straightened his posture slightly, and said softly:

“That was a really memorable time. Back then, I was just an ordinary junior manager in the X Group, and I didn’t get along with my boss very well. I was often sent out to handle all sorts of troublesome matters. But now that I think about it, I should thank him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to come to Fuuto and meet you, Gensou.”

Shen paused for a moment, then continued in a nostalgic tone, as if chatting with a neighbor about the past:

"To be honest, at first, neither I nor Sonozaki Ryuhei took you, this inexplicable Kamen Rider, seriously. We just used you as a test subject for 'Joker.' But after you successfully fought back from the siege at the junkyard, I became very interested in you and started secretly observing you. How should I put it? You're really a tenacious guy. Even with your arm broken, you can still..."

Shinichi pointed his finger slightly downwards, and white lightning descended from the sky, landing behind Genji, preemptively stopping the knight's attempt to attack him. Then, he smiled and wagged his finger, saying merrily:

"That's right, that's exactly it. No matter the situation, you always look for opportunities to completely annihilate the enemy before the battle ends. No matter what threats or inducements the enemy uses, your will never waver. It's truly beautiful. Do you know how much I envied your willpower back then!"

"Since you already know, why are you still wasting your breath talking?"

As Yuanxiang answered indifferently, he instantly appeared in front of Shenyi, and his immense power slammed down on the head of this so-called 'master'. But Shenyi simply raised his left index finger, and a barrier instantly appeared between the two of them. Purple energy crashed against it, causing the earth to tremble.

Faced with the stalemate, Shen Yi remained calm and unhurried, and slowly said:

"Yes, there's really no need for you to hear these words, but I want to say that there are many things I've always wanted to tell you, Genji. Even though you probably don't remember, I will always remember that moonless night when you carried me to the hospital after I was accidentally injured by the test subject. I will also always remember that bright morning when I fought to the death to protect the citizens who petitioned the government to issue arrest warrants for the Kamen Rider."

Shinichi withdrew his wistful gaze, staring at the Kamen Rider's black compound eyes, and said with a light laugh:

"To be honest, I really don't understand why you would risk your life for those idiots to that extent. Without them, your operations would be much more convenient, and you wouldn't have to go through the sewers of Fengdu every time you go out."
