I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

On the riverside lawn, Ankh slowly awoke from his unconsciousness, but upon recalling the astonishing battle, he immediately sprang to his feet, looking around in shock. But the desolate landscape was no longer there; instead, he found himself in a familiar vista.

"woke up?"

"Ah, you're awake, Eiji. You... um?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Ankh instinctively replied, but when he turned around and saw Gensou squatting on the ground, seemingly bored, poking at the wet ground with a twig, he flinched and floated back. At the same time, Gensou looked up at Greeed, who only had one hand left, and said softly:

"The matter has been resolved. Now everyone has returned to their proper time and place. Logically speaking, you should be in that restaurant right now, just like Eiji."

"So you're the one who brought me here?"

Ankh immediately picked up where Gensou left off, and the boy smiled and replied affirmatively:

"That's right, I brought you here. Can you guess why?"

"..."

Ankh remained silent, but that didn't mean he hadn't guessed. He had already discerned the boy's thoughts from the murderous intent in Gensou's eyes. At this moment, the Greeed was silent, racking its brains for a way to escape. However, recalling the man's monstrous fighting prowess, Ankh felt only despair.

"When I went into the Earth Library, I also looked up information about 'Greeed' and learned that when you collect the nine Core Medals and become the complete entity, your desires will not lessen, but will become even larger, and may even devour the entire world."

Ankh remained silent, but Gengo continued talking to himself, making Ankh's wrists sweat profusely. At this moment, Gengo put down the branch he was holding, looked at Ankh, and said softly:

"So, do you understand why I took you out alone? Some things are better left unseen, so as to avoid hurting someone and putting me in a difficult position."

"...That's right, Greeed is that kind of monster, so kill him if you want! Stop talking nonsense! Are you trying to torture me a little more!"

Hearing Gengo's words, Ankh was silent for a moment, then replied fiercely. Gengo slowly stood up, took out a red Core Medal from his pocket, and tossed it to Ankh.

Ankh instinctively caught the coin. Looking at it, he immediately thought of a certain idiot who wouldn't let go no matter what. Just as he was feeling complicated, the deep "Joker" sound effect rang out, and a black knight walked towards him menacingly.

Ankh, of course, wouldn't obediently wait to die. He swallowed the Core Medal and charged towards Gengo with all his might, but was easily slapped against a nearby concrete pillar by the Kamen Rider, leaving him with no ability to fight back. Looking at the approaching Rider, Ankh smiled resignedly, gave up struggling, and waited for death to come.

"Yuta Village! Yuta Village? No! That's Ankh!!"

Just then, a desperate scream rang out. Ankh saw Hino Eiji rushing towards them in a panic. He stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab him across the distance and pull him away from here.

What an idiot...

As Kamen Rider's iron fist drew ever closer, Ankh felt a strange sense of relief. As a Greeed, he had never imagined that someone would be so anxious about his impending death that they were almost in tears. This unprecedented feeling made him realize that his existence was not meaningless.

In the flashback before the end of his life, the past he experienced with Eiji Hino and others seemed so interesting. It turned out that while he was busy collecting coins, he had overlooked so many interesting things.

"Yuanxiang!! Stop it!! Ah!!"

"What an idiot."

Watching Hino Eiji, knocked to the ground by a stone thrown by Gengo and yelling with his arms outstretched, Ankh smiled gently and, at the last moment, spoke in a tone that sounded both disdainful and reluctant:

"The hand you're trying to hold isn't mine anymore. Go, don't worry about me anymore, I'm already satisfied..."

"Ankh!! No!!!"

Hino Eiji watched with bloodshot eyes as Gengo's iron fist slammed into Ankh's arm. Ankh's screams were so painful that he couldn't bear to look and buried his head on the ground, sobbing loudly.

However, not long after, Hino Eiji suddenly felt a familiar sensation on his face. Looking up, he saw a face that made him wipe away his tears in disbelief. Then, he hugged the person tightly in surprise and cried out:

"Ankh, Ankh! You're not dead?! You're not dead!!"

"You idiot Eiji, do you really want me to die?!"

"No, no, just now, where's Gensou... um, where's Gensou?!"

Hino Eiji instinctively pointed to the spot where Gengo had just been, only to find it empty.

“Yuanxiang has left this world. He was only staying here by relying on the last bit of crystal energy. After giving me the energy, he naturally left. Honestly, you idiot, you were fooled by such terrible acting. You really can’t do without me.”

"Huh? Huh! Acting? That was acting?! This...this..."

Ignoring the still-confused Hino Eiji, Ankh silently glanced at the spot where Genji had just been. That guy had used his remaining energy, following information from the Earth Library, to create a special Core Medal for himself. Its specific function was unclear, but it at least gave him a human-like body, allowing him to experience senses like smell and taste without possessing another being.

As for what Gensou just did, there's no need to guess. He simply wanted to make him realize, in the face of life and death, what his most pressing desire was. And if he remained obsessed with the coin, Gensou was afraid he would really punch him to death.

Honestly, even though he's in that state himself, he still has the leisure to care about... no, to scheme against me and Eiji... He's such a likable but also impossible-to-hate guy.

"Wait, Ankh, wait a minute, you were fooled too, weren't you? That 'don't grab my hand' thing you just said, that must have been what you really meant!"

"Stop being so long-winded!"

Upon hearing this, Ankh's face tightened, and he retorted irritably before kicking Hino Eiji.

"Stop talking nonsense! Didn't you promise to buy me an ice cream every day? Go get it for me now, hurry up!"

"Honestly, Ankh is good at giving orders."

Hino Eiji patted the spot where he'd been kicked with a sigh, then laughed and ran into the shop. Watching the man leave, Ankh rubbed his fingers together and whispered:

"Choosing you as my partner was definitely a win for me."

After saying that, Ankh smiled slightly and ran alongside Hino Eiji in the sunset.

At the same time, Tenkuji Takeru looked at the familiar temple and calmly walked in. Although he was unable to see Gensou again, he believed that they would eventually reunite. Before that, he would definitely revive himself. He was full of confidence in himself!

On the other side, Hiroi Mazo, no, mechanical mutant number two "Heart", returned to his world. In fact, Gengo originally planned to let him stay at Narumi's office, but he still decided to return to this place full of bad memories.

The reason is simple: he can't bear to leave his companions behind. He's determined to rescue them from the clutches of Banno Tenjuro and lead them to create a new world for themselves. When they meet again in the future, he'll make Genji astonished by his growth!

At the same time, in Narumi's office, Shotaro and Philip leaned against each other, both looking troubled. They couldn't think of any way to improve Gengo's condition. Narumi Akiko, on the other hand, tugged at Terui Ryu's sleeve with a complicated expression, indicating that they should go to the back to talk. After listening to Gengo's words, she felt that she needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with her lover.

Meanwhile, in Gensou's world, as a visitor from another dimension, after completely exhausting the crystal's power, he was ejected from that timeline. But when he opened his eyes, he wasn't faced with a stranger. Looking at the police officer before him, Gensou smiled slightly and said softly:

"Mr. Ichijo, we meet again."

134 Unidentified Life Form Zero

"Ah, we meet again, Gensou, um...you..."

Kaoru Ichijo, holding a sniper rifle, and the police officer beside him stared blankly at Gengo. They had no idea that a hole would suddenly open up next to them and spit out such a person.

At the same time, besides being shocked, Kaoru Ichijo also felt a strange feeling that was hard to describe. Although Genjo looked much the same as he had a few days ago, the feeling he gave off had changed completely.

If I had to use a metaphor, I would say that the former Yuanxiang was like a kind and friendly younger brother next door, while the current Yuanxiang is like the moon in a mirror and a flower in the water, ethereal and elusive, as if he could disappear at any moment.

Before Kaoru could recover, Genji subconsciously observed his surroundings and immediately recognized that this was the place where he had fought the ancient warriors. He realized that he had been bounced back the same way he had gone there.

Furthermore, in the dim moonlight, Genji saw that Kaoru and the others were fully armed, and knew that some unidentified life form was causing trouble again. So he quickly crouched down next to Kaoru and whispered:

"What happened?"

"...It is Unidentified Life Form No. 3."

Having recovered her senses, Kaoru Ichijo didn't even have time to ask Genji about what had happened these past few days, and hurriedly said:

“During this period, Number 3 has been very active, but it doesn’t seem to be playing a killing game. We’ve learned about its movements by monitoring the ultrasound waves it emits, and we’re now trying to eliminate it.”

"I see. Then let me join in too. I just finished a big game, so I'll play a smaller one to relax."

Gengo chuckled and gave Kaoru Ichijo a thumbs up. Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the purple flames turned into black fragments that clung to Gengo's body. Silently, Kamen Rider Joker completed his transformation.

"Won't my direct attack disrupt your plans?"

The black-clad knight stretched his wrists, looked at Kaoru Ichijo, and asked in a low voice. The police officer immediately shook his head and said in a similarly low voice:

"No, our plan is to eliminate Number 3."

"Okay, I'll go then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaoru and the others heard a slightly sharp whistling sound, and Gensou disappeared from sight. Then, in the woods not far away, they heard a muffled collision and a chilling wail.

Have you found location number 3 already? That's amazing!

Kaoru Ichijo's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He couldn't help but praise her in his heart. Then he hurriedly called to his companions, intending to go and provide support. At this moment, the nerve-severing bullets they were equipped with had extremely high lethality against unidentified life forms, and he believed that they could be of some help.

But before they could take two steps, an extremely piercing sound wave rang out from the forest, causing the leaves of the entire forest to tremble slightly. Kaoru and her group immediately covered their ears in pain and collapsed to the ground. If the sound wave continued, they would not only be unable to provide support, but at the very least, they would lose their hearing.

However, the sound wave stopped abruptly after less than three seconds. Kaoru Ichijo thought that it must have been Gengo who interrupted Number 3, but immediately, a chilling murderous aura erupted from the forest. The police officers around Kaoru Ichijo immediately fainted, some even foaming at the mouth. Kaoru Ichijo struggled to maintain his senses and took out his phone to dial Yusuke Godai's number, but the moment he dialed it, he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

"I didn't expect it to be you, hahaha, well, well, hahaha..."

In the woods, Genji, who was about to kill the enemy, watched warily as the white-clad man suddenly intervened to save Unidentified Life Form No. 3. The white-clad man had a seemingly innocent smile on his face as he looked Genji over with satisfaction, revealing a faint smile, but his eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit.

"You'll definitely give me a good time. Alright, alright. Before fighting Kuuga, let me have a match with you first. I'm really itching for a fight."

The white-clad man, who had originally only come to collect items, grew increasingly radiant with smiles as he spoke.

At the same time, Yuanxiang felt a needle-like killing intent tightly enveloping him, as if it had locked him in place. But to his surprise, after saying those words, the white-clad man turned around and killed the dying unidentified life form No. 3, and took out several dark gold fragments from its body.

Seeing this, Yuanxiang didn't hesitate and immediately charged at the man in white. The man in white dodged the direct confrontation with Yuanxiang, then patted the fragments to his waist. Only then did Yuanxiang realize that there was a belt hidden under the white clothes. As the fragments were put back in place, the belt was also restored to its original state.

At that very moment, a terrifying sense of crisis instantly enveloped Gengo's heart. Immediately, a faintly glowing 'X' mark appeared on the left breastplate of Kamen Rider Joker, and two powerful forces erupted simultaneously, instantly overturning the entire forest.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss.

Gengo stared at the strange flames still burning in the aura and clicked his tongue in amazement. The flames were almost instantaneous, and if there were no barrier from the aura, they would probably burst out of his body. If that were the case, even if the Joker's armor was good, he would probably be knocked down on the spot.

The reason why Gensou was able to avoid this sudden attack was also due to the modifications he had made to himself beforehand.

The inspiration for this modification also came from the collaboration with the 'Xtreme' memory. Genji used crystal energy to compress and solidify his own 'blank' data, turning it into a virtual machine-like attachment that he placed inside his body.

In this way, when he needs the power of 'Xtreme', he can try to transform into his ultimate form through this pendant instead of blanking out his own body, thus preserving his memories and ensuring that he still has room to unleash his full potential when he encounters a powerful enemy in the future.

After much effort, Yuanxiang finally completed the modification. The pendant, created from its own data, began to function as expected. However, the pendant's potential was limited, and when necessary, it would still be necessary to rely on blanking out to gain more power.

Furthermore, there are requirements regarding the placement of this pendant. In any case, this thing is not a proper memory device, nor is it deployed using the Lost Driver.

Therefore, in order to enable the power of "Xtreme" to be unleashed instantly, allowing for high-speed switching between Ultimate Forms and making it suitable for actual combat, Gengo thought long and hard and could only place this data on his heart.

After all, all the blood vessels in the body are connected to this point. Placing it here is like setting up a highway to meet one's release needs.

However, such recklessness comes at a price. First, a large amount of data was extracted from his body, and Yuanxiang's physical and mental condition was inevitably weakened. But that was a minor matter, as Yuanxiang immediately used crystal energy to restore himself to his best condition.

Secondly, when using this pendant, the pain caused by the data washing over the body is unavoidable. At this time, Yuanxiang felt a burning pain from the inside out, as if a knife was scraping him. However, this is a minor problem. He has experienced even more painful things before, so he just had to endure it.

Most importantly, the pendant's performance in actual combat is quite satisfactory, so all this effort was worthwhile.

Just as Gensou extinguished the flames burning in the aura, the white-clad man emerged once more from the rising dust. He had transformed into a monster, his white body adorned with golden decorations, and the golden horns on his head bearing a resemblance to Kuuga's.

Upon seeing Gensou in his ultimate state, Zero burst into hearty laughter, seemingly delighted that his enemy had become stronger.

Then, in the next second, Zero waved his hand, and super-high temperature flames erupted from him, instantly melting the earth. Genji, who originally wanted to close in on him, was forced to retreat.

At the same time, Gensou also realized that this guy's ability seemed to be more than just getting angry. Just now, his aura seemed to have encountered some kind of highly corrosive force and was almost broken apart.

We can't confront him head-on.

Yuanxiang quickly turned to the side, relying on his instincts to avoid the flames that suddenly appeared again, and then tried to find his weakness.
