In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

Section 143, Chapter 139: A Night Song of Repentance

The scene fell silent. Yuno and Yae Sakura stopped attacking, and the villagers' commotion subsided. They looked at Yae Rin, who was somewhat frightened but still forced to stand up, with eager eyes. If she volunteered to be a sacrifice and participate in the ritual, the village would be saved.

"Rin! No!"

Theresa wanted to run over, but Yoru held her back. He shook his head; if Theresa rushed over now, the villagers' emotions, which had just calmed down, would be reignited. Yae Sakura sheathed her sword, looking at Yae Rin with pain, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

"cold..."

Yuno clicked her tongue in annoyance, retracted the vines, and retreated to Yoru's side. The villagers glanced at them with fear, then crowded around Yae Rin and left the shrine in a noisy commotion. Theresa stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She wasn't Yuno; she couldn't bring herself to kill ordinary people.

"Sakura, let's go. The ceremony needs a shrine maiden to preside over it."

The village chief walked at the back, turned around and glanced at Yae Sakura, who had her head down, and called out in a hoarse voice. Yae Sakura trembled, covered her head and shook her head repeatedly. Night Song could hear her sobbing softly. The village chief sighed and called out again, "Sakura, listen to me, this is for the village."

"Yes, village chief."

Yae Sakura's eyes were filled with despair, like an empty shell drained of life force. She walked unsteadily through the shrine, each step swaying and incredibly difficult, following behind the old village chief.

"Gentlemen, please leave as soon as possible. Outsiders are not welcome in Yae Village."

The village chief glanced at Ye Ge, gave her a brief instruction, and then ignored her, leaving the dejected Yae Sakura behind. The once vast shrine suddenly felt empty. Theresa looked up at Ye Ge, gritting her teeth as she asked:

"What are we going to do now? Are you just going to watch that girl be sacrificed? Do you want the tragedy that happened to Cecilia to repeat itself? Are you really that heartless? Are you even human?"

Ye Ge swayed slightly, a hint of recollection flashing in his eyes. His expression became complex and uncertain as he slowly exhaled, "But it was Rin's own choice, wasn't it? Even if I save her, what about Sakura? What about Rin? Are you going to let them live in the hatred and resentment of the entire village?"

"But..."

Theresa bit her lip, then patted her head and resolutely turned towards the outside of the shrine, leaving behind the words: "I can't accept this. I'm determined to save this girl. Maybe you're right, but if I don't save her, I won't be able to forgive myself. I can't watch a vibrant life perish because of the villagers' ignorance!"

Theresa left without looking back, leaving Yoru and Yuno behind. Yuno glanced at him and tentatively asked, "Yoro-kun, are we really not going to do anything about her?"

“Let’s go check it out too.” Night Song sighed. He wasn’t feeling good either. Theresa’s words had stirred up his guilt towards Cecilia, but if he didn’t do this, the purpose of creating this world could not be achieved. This put him in a dilemma, and he struggled between two difficult choices. In the end, he chose to wait and see.

"Sakura, the time has come!"

On the altar of the ceremony, various foods and ornaments were laid out. The villagers knelt down and worshipped the altar. In the center of the altar, Yae Rin knelt on the ground, her body tightly bound. Yae Sakura stood behind Yae Rin with a pale face, her hand holding the knife trembling constantly, as if she was about to drop it at any moment.

"here we go!"

Led by the village chief, the villagers completed the ritual. All eyes were fixed on the center of the altar. They believed that if Yae Rin's heart's blood were to soak this land, the gods would hear their prayers and the village would be saved!

"Rin! I'm sorry!"

With a sob in her voice, Sakura raised the sword in her hand. She had spent her life slaying demons, and now she was going to use this sword to kill her own sister!

"stop!"

A clear, childlike voice, filled with anger and sorrow, rang out as Theresa burst into the crowd. Her immense strength sent those who stood in her way flying. She turned to the indignant villagers, her face contorted with rage: "Are you a bunch of beasts? How could you possibly sacrifice such a young child to pray to the god you speak of?"

"What happens in Yae Village is none of your business! You monster!"

"Out-of-towners, get out!"

The insults and hateful glares made Theresa feel as if her body was being cut by knives. She bit her lip and slammed Judah to the ground. Just as she was about to move, her voice was suppressed in her throat. Her eyes widened, and she struggled incessantly, as if resisting something, but this invisible force pressed down on her, making her unable to move.

"The gods have appeared! Sakura, quickly begin the ceremony!"

The village chief's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly. Yae Sakura kept her eyes tightly closed, and the sword was pointed at Yae Rin, who had a pale smile on her face. The tip of the sword slowly pierced towards her heart. Every inch of the sword fell was accompanied by many tears. What was originally an easy task was now as difficult as climbing to heaven for Yae Sakura, because her sister was below!

Goodbye, sister.

Looking at Yae Sakura's struggling face, Yae Rin smiled with relief, slowly closing her eyes. Her life had ended with the death of her beloved older sister, so it was a fitting end.

Ah, is this the tranquility before death? It seems like everything has stopped. The old folks in the village once said that the moment before death can last a very long time. Perhaps I am in such a situation now?

"Rin, open your eyes! It's me!"

A cheerful voice rang in Rin's ears. She opened her eyes in surprise. Yoru was leaning over the altar next to her, casually picking up an apple, taking a couple of bites, and then gesturing to Yae Rin with a beaming smile, "Do you want some?"

"Big brother? Why...? Where's sister?"

Rin had many questions she wanted to ask, but when she looked up, all her questions got stuck in her throat. Yae Sakura remained in a pained expression, the knife about to stab her, and the villagers' fanatical expressions were frozen on their faces, but everything was still. Apart from her and Yoru, no one else could act at this moment.

"This is a world where time has stopped."

"Time stop? This isn't..." Yae Rin's mouth dropped open in astonishment. Wasn't such a powerful ability something only gods could possess?

Yege casually tossed the apple aside, walked behind Yae Rin, rested her chin on her head, and said gently, "Rin, do you want to live? I'm not joking, I'm asking you seriously, do you still have any hope of living?"

“But… the village will…” Yae Rin lowered her head, her voice filled with dejection. Yoru suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. “These things are none of your concern. If you want to live, if you yearn to continue living, then call upon me! If you wish, I can do anything for you!”

Section 144, Chapter 140: This is my world.

Ye Ge's words were full of confidence, with an air of omnipotent arrogance. Yae Rin stared at him blankly as Ye Ge gently stroked her hair: "If you wish, I can do anything."

"Really? Big brother, are you a god?" Little Yae Rin's eyes were filled with longing. Yoru's almost divine abilities and extremely confident words made her feel for the first time that gods were so close to her. Yoru grinned, and his aura became sharp: "That's right, I am a god!"

Now that he has obtained the power and can use the power that only gods can access in this world, he should also make a corresponding response. Last time, he gave power to Sirin, but he could not save her life. However, he absolutely does not want a similar thing to happen again with Yae Rin. He has already put the original plan behind him. Gods can do whatever they want!

"My God! I want to live, I want to keep my sister away from sorrow, I want the village to be peaceful."

The ropes binding Yae Rin snapped with a snap. She clasped her hands together and devoutly worshipped Yoru. He grabbed Rin's hand, pulled her up from the ground, and gently hugged her: "Since my believer has prayed so much, I will naturally respond to your expectations."

Night Song turned around, snapped his fingers at the frozen villagers, the gray world dissipated, and time began to flow again. Yae Sakura stared blankly at Night Song, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, and Yae Rin, whom he was holding in his arms. The knife in her hand fell to the ground, and her tears flowed uncontrollably. She suddenly realized what crazy thing she was doing.

"Grab him! We can't let him ruin the ceremony!"

The villagers' anger reached its peak. Yege frowned as he looked down at the commotion and Theresa, who was unable to move. None of this was accidental, nor was it entirely the result of his accelerated time. There was another mastermind behind it all, who wanted Yae Rin's life.

"Fools! Witness a miracle!"

With a cold wave of his hand, Ye Ge unleashed a wave of obscure energy that knocked the villagers to the ground. He then rubbed Yae Rin's cheeks, opened his arms to the sky, and with a loud crack, a bolt of lightning struck the clear sky. A black and white phantom flashed across the blue sky, and the sky began to darken as dark clouds gathered.

"The gods have appeared! The village is saved!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the villagers embraced and cheered. Yege moved her fingers, and a torrential downpour began. The people bathed in the raindrops beamed with joy. No one paid any attention to Yae Rin and Yege anymore; they were all immersed in the joy of the long-awaited rain.

"Rin, I..."

Yae Sakura moved her lips, but said nothing. She had once wanted to kill her sister, so what right did she have to ask her sister to accept her apology?

"It's alright, sister, I know your difficulties." Yae Rin smiled sweetly and hugged Yae Sakura's waist. The latter was stunned for a moment, and tears streamed down her face. She hugged Yae Rin back, but quickly calmed down, walked to Yoru's side, wiped away her tears, and bowed deeply to Yoru: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Yoru. If it weren't for you, I really would have done something to Rin."

"It's alright, Rin is my follower." Yoru waved his hand. Yae Sakura was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yae Rin in confusion. The latter chuckled twice, pointed at Yoru, and said with a grin, "Actually, big brother is a god. He just stopped time to save me and even brought down a heavy rain for the village, so I want to believe in big brother!"

"Gods?" Yae Sakura pondered the word, about to speak, when Yoru suddenly reached out and stopped her, staring at the jubilant crowd in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about the celebration later. This matter is not over yet. It seems that some fox is still not giving up."

Among the celebrating villagers, one man stood out with a somber expression, showing no sign of joy. This was the village chief of Yae Village. He slowly stepped forward, clearing away all those who stood in his way, and stood alone beneath the altar. Black flames erupted from his body, which then turned into a skeleton. Hisshou Maru emerged from the flames and spewed a burst of fire backward. The villagers, still celebrating, met their demise amidst their joy.

"no no!"

Yae Sakura shook her head frantically, a sharp pain shooting through her head. The appearance of Hiyomaru had given her a huge shock, and she remembered everything: Kallen, the Herrscher, and Hiyomaru. She hugged Yae Rin tightly in fear, as if afraid that she would disappear in front of her. Yae Rin was choked and could hardly breathe, and she pushed Yae Sakura's hand to feel a little better.

"Why! Why is this happening? As long as Yae Sakura is in despair, I can completely possess her body! Why are you in my world?" Hishiyomaru roared madly. He had been lurking in Yae Village like a shadow, watching the villagers' desires and ugliness, guiding Rin's death. All of this was to make Yae Sakura completely give up her hope, but Yoru-ka ruined it all.

"Don't misunderstand, this isn't your world, it's mine."

Night Song snapped her fingers lightly, and all the flames disappeared. Black and white ripples began to appear around Hiyokumaru. Her power collided with the camera world, creating spatial instability. Night Song could not easily erase her presence. Hatred was evident in her eyes: "There is not a single good human! I will kill them all, kill all you pests of the world."

Faced with Hiyomaru's threat, Yoruka simply blew on her finger and said calmly, "Humans are indeed vile beings. I have seen humans who are more cruel and selfish than the Honkai. But even such creatures can have love, just like Sakura and Rin. Isn't it because you are jealous of them that you came out? Why can they be saved, while you can only go insane?"

Hiyokumaru paused for a moment, her eyes flashing with even more ferocity. Clearly, Yoru had hit a nerve. Her flames enveloped her, rapidly shrinking until she was only the size of a person. The flames then rolled behind her, forming the shape of Yae Sakura!

"Due to the entanglement of powers, it's already possible to replicate Sakura's power?"

Ye Ge raised his eyebrows and lifted his hand. As his palm reached its peak, his figure suddenly blurred and rapidly expanded, a large black hole appearing behind him. He stood in the center of the black hole, indifferently looking down at Hishigoro, who had transformed into Yae Sakura.

"Hiyokumaru, you've already lost. From the moment I fully analyzed your core, your defeat was inevitable."

Section 145, page 141: Black hole!

Hiyomaru thought this was a dream she had created for Yae Sakura, but he didn't know that after Yoru defeated her and analyzed the core within Yae Sakura's body, she had seized control of this dream and transformed it into a false world. If it weren't for the need to lure out the lurking Hiyomaru, Yoru would have already used her creator's authority.

"Alright, let me experience this rare power too."

The black hole behind him slowly floated and shrank, landing in Ye Ge's hand. In the end, it actually turned into the shape of a trigger. Ye Ge picked it up and examined it with delight, playing with it over and over, unable to put it down. This opportunity was extremely rare. Even Evolto inside him was a little lost in thought. This was the strongest trigger that could only be obtained by opening Pandora's Box!

"Over the Evolution!"

"Cobra! Rider System! Evolution!"

Are you ready?

A smug smile spread across Night Song's face. For the first time, Theresa saw an expression on his face that could only be described as fanatical. His arms were crossed over his shoulders, and he laughed wildly, as if he had grasped the power of the world.

"henshin!"

White gears spun around Ye Ge, gradually enveloping him. Countless dark purple cubes circled around him, then coalesced, forming purple cuboids outside the gears. The cubes then suddenly shrank and disappeared into space.

"Black hole!"

"Black hole!"

"Black hole!"

"Evolution!"

“FUAAAAAAAA!”

With an evil laugh emanating from the belt, the empty space suddenly exploded, emitting white light particles and a milky white halo spreading out, like an angel's halo. Night Song, clad in pure white armor, reappeared in everyone's sight. The surrounding environment changed as if flipping through a film, transforming from the original Yae Village into a desert.

"Hahaha! This is the ultimate power of Evol! What a captivating power!"

Yege danced excitedly, his hands waving up and down, and crimson lightning shot out from his hands, rising into the sky before crashing down. Hishimaru dodged in a sorry state. Because she had copied Yae Sakura's power, she was very fast, but she could only barely avoid Yege's playful attack.

Ye Ge took a deep breath, and the power within him surged like a tide, endless and inexhaustible. He leaped into the air, and the black hole swallowed him, disappearing without a trace. Fei Yu Wan looked around suspiciously, but could not sense Ye Ge's presence. Just when she thought Ye Ge had left, a black hole suddenly opened behind her, and Ye Ge jumped out from it, kicking her in the back.

"Cough cough cough."

Hiyomaru spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground in a sorry state. The unimaginable force had injured her body. After her successful attack, Yoru did not retreat. Instead, she slowly walked up to Hiyomaru, gently grabbed her neck, and lifted her by the back of her collar like she was grabbing a kitten. She then threw her forcefully into the air.

"Be torn apart in the black hole."

Night Singer raised his palm upwards, and a small black hole appeared on his hand. He threw it upwards with force, hitting the sky-high Hiyokumaru squarely. She screamed as she was held in mid-air, in the center of the black hole. The terrifying suction force tore her body and energy to pieces, and even her form became somewhat disintegrated.

"Tsk, this is the difference between you and me, this is the law of the world."
