In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

"Mokou! Keine! Fu Hua! Momiji! Uh... what's this guy doing here?"

Just as Ye Ge was about to hug everyone who rushed over, he realized he might have hugged one too many. The blonde woman in his arms looked up, her eyes full of laughter, and gently tapped Ye Ge's shoulder with her folding fan as punishment, smiling charmingly: "Oh dear, Ye Ge, you can't just start touching me as soon as you get back!"

"Zi, how did you sneak in?"

While Yege was still wondering, Yakumo Yukari suddenly waved her folding fan, and a huge gap opened beneath everyone's feet. But something unexpected happened: everyone was suspended in mid-air and did not fall into the gap, including herself.

"..."

Yoru immediately received a resentful look from Yakumo Yukari, but he smiled indifferently: "Yukari, are you taking us to the House of the Lost?"

"There are some things I need to discuss with you. It's not very convenient here, and Lan isn't here either." Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes, looking at Yoruka floating in mid-air. She felt a chill in her heart. His strength had increased again. Not only could he sense the spatial fluctuations she released, but he could also control the gaps at will?

"Looking for Lan? No need for all that trouble."

Ye Ge snapped his fingers coolly, the gap beneath his feet closed, and a blue magic circle appeared. Following behind Shen Qi, he hadn't learned nothing either.

Section 208, Chapter 204: Yakumo Ran, the Cat Lover

The blue magic circle rotated. The half-baked magic that Yoru learned from Shinki was more than enough to teleport between worlds, even though it couldn't teleport her. In the same world, in a small place like Gensokyo, it was more than sufficient.

"emmmm."

Yege silently watched Yakumo Ran, who was curling up with her tail and looking happy, and fell into deep thought. Had she made a mistake in choosing her?

"Hmm? Where am I, Lord Zi!"

After watching Yakumo Ran pet the cat for two minutes, she finally snapped out of her reverie. Seeing so many people suddenly in front of her, she was a little flustered. Instinctively, her tail loosened, and Orange, who had been wrapped in the soft nine-tailed tail, fell to the ground with a thud. Orange immediately burst into tears. The latter hurriedly tried to catch her, but as soon as she picked her up, Yakumo Ran saw Yakumo Yukari's twitching face.

pat!

The dull thud of flesh hitting the ground finally broke Orange's heart, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Yakumo Ran felt both guilty and helpless, unsure of what to do with her hands, her nine tails drooping listlessly behind her.

"Ahem, try to tone it down a bit in the future, Lan. I know you're under a lot of pressure, don't lead Cheng astray."

Yakumo Yukari's dark face returned to normal, and she forcibly changed the subject. A group of people were sitting in the inner room of the Yorozuya. Yoruka moved a round table to the center, placed it on the table with her hand supporting her chin, and her cynical expression made Yakumo Yukari very unhappy, but she still forcibly suppressed her resentment: "I came here this time to talk to you about the barrier incident."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Fu Hua and Inuzoku Momiji changed their expressions. They naturally knew about the situation of the Hakurei Barrier. Yakumo Yukari sighed and explained, "The separation between Gensokyo and the outside world is due to the boundary between common sense and the uncommon sense, as well as the Hakurei Barrier. However, the Hakurei Barrier is weakening!"

"Really? I didn't notice it."

With a wave of her hand, Ye Ge conjured several steaming cups of tea in front of them. Ye Ge took a sip; the taste was similar to Hui Yin's, perfectly replicated at the atomic level through energy creation.

"Although I don't know what you mean by the barrier anomaly, I can still sense it."

Night Song pointed to the sky: "Gensokyo is not a world in the strict sense. This existence called the Hakurei Barrier seems to have been created by the world's will by allocating a portion of its energy. However, judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem to have suffered any damage. If it were to disappear, it would probably take several thousand years."

In Yoru's eyes, the loss of energy in the Hakurei Great Barrier was negligible. If it weren't for Yakumo Yukari's solemn expression, which didn't seem like a joke, he wouldn't have believed it at all. Yakumo Yukari sighed and then explained:

"That's not how it works. During the stable period, the Great Barrier won't undergo any major changes. However, every 60 years, the number of souls pouring in from the outside will increase dramatically. At this time, the energy of the Hakurei Great Barrier will be visibly weakened. But now, even the Hakurei Shrine Maiden can't communicate with the Dragon God, so the energy of the Great Barrier can't be replenished and can only continue to decline. This is what I mean by the 60-year cycle of barrier mutation."

"Unable to replenish energy?"

Yoru was taken aback, but then she understood. The Hakurei Barrier and the boundary of the world were the same thing. However, Gensokyo was not a self-consistent world. The stability of the Hakurei Barrier was very poor, and it could not be effectively repaired from the inside. If what Yakumo Yukari said was true, the Hakurei Barrier would soon disappear, and that would be the time when Gensokyo was destroyed.

Do you know why I gave you my blood so readily?

Yukari Yakumo suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "It was because I believed in your potential for growth, that I thought you could become powerful enough to protect Gensokyo. Now it seems I wasn't wrong about you. I've heard about your deeds. Now that you've become a world god, can you lend me a hand and save Gensokyo?"

Yoruichi didn't speak, but simply took out the Genius Bottle, placed it on the table, and pushed it across. Yakumo Yukari caught it gently, her eyes flashing with confusion. Yoruichi destroyed the empty cup, tapped the table lightly with his finger, and a seven-colored ray of light shot out from his fingertip, hitting the Genius Bottle. Instantly, the entire Yorozuya was illuminated.

"Zi, take this to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden and tell her to keep it close to her. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten our promise."

Yoru's words relieved Yakumo Yukari. She was really afraid that Yoru would break his promise, because Yoru had grown to this point now. If he refused to provide help, Yakumo Yukari really couldn't do anything to him. Holding the glowing Genius Bottle in her hand, Yakumo Yukari's eyes narrowed happily. She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

"Lord Zi, wait for me!"

Seeing Yakumo Yukari open the gap and squeeze inside, Yakumo Ran hurriedly stood up, holding Orange in her arms. However, Yakumo Yukari was too excited and the gap closed quickly. Yakumo Ran found that her tails were stuck in the gap, unable to go in or out. Her nine tails were sticking out and writhing. Yoru sighed and snapped her fingers, opening up the surrounding space. The gap widened, and Yakumo Ran cried out in surprise as she fell straight into it.

"Hey! Why did you give her the Genius Bottle? Now you can't transform!"

Evolto transformed into human form, appeared, and smacked Yege on the head. Arms crossed, ignoring the stares of everyone in the room, he huffed and puffed. Yege, rubbing the spot where he'd been hit, slowly replied:

"Well, what does it matter? All the power is with me anyway, I just can't transform. But I still have you, don't I?"

"So why did you give it to her?" Evolto wanted to scratch his face a few times. Genius form is Build's strongest form, even stronger than Evol, but Yoru just handed it over like that?

"There's no other way. I don't have the patience to wait for that adaptation period. It's better to let the Hakurei Shrine Maiden get used to it first, so that she won't actually be corroded by the gas later."

Yoru shrugged and uttered words that sent chills down everyone's spines. Inuzomi stammered, "Sir? You wouldn't be thinking of... doing something to Reimu-san..."

“That’s right.” Night Song nodded. “The Hakurei Shrine Maiden can borrow the power of the Great Barrier. The power hub of the Hakurei Great Barrier is inside the Hakurei Shrine Maiden’s body. Only by injecting gas into her body can I dig out that hub. However, if Hakurei Reimu is corrupted by the gas, the world will remaining in the Hakurei Great Barrier will definitely resist. That’s why I gave her the Genius Bottle.”

Evolto covered his mouth in surprise: "Could it be that you want to use the Genius Bottle's ability to purify the gas to increase her resistance?" If a little of the Genius Bottle's power were to leak out to Reimu Hakurei, she would have some resistance to the gas and wouldn't be so easily corrupted.

Section 209, Chapter 205: The Great Void Sword God

"correct."

Yoru stretched and disassembled the table, ending the meeting. Keine and Mokou returned to the temple house, and Inuzoku Momiji went in to clean the house. Fu Hua, however, unexpectedly stayed behind. She was dressed in casual clothes and looked like an old man who had just come to the bird market in the morning. Yoru comfortably lay down in her chair, glanced at her, and patted the seat opposite her.

"Speak, what's wrong? Did Momiji bully you, or can't you stand living in Gensokyo anymore?"

Fu Hua helplessly covered her forehead, not answering Ye Ge's irrelevant question. She slowly sat down, her tone becoming serious: "Something happened recently, it seems to be about my past. When I was sparring with Miss Inuzoku, I suddenly had an instinctive urge to pick up a sword. It's strange, isn't it? I'm supposed to be studying hand-to-hand combat."

Have you studied swordsmanship?

"Probably not."

Ye Ge straightened up, revealing an interested expression. With a wave of his hand, a blue knife appeared in his hand—the Plasma Shadow, a knife taken from the Raiden Dragon Horse Company. Because Mei later mastered the power of the Herrscher, Ye Ge collected this knife and threw it to Fu Hua.

"Gensokyo is a place full of the uncommon, and the magic and spiritual energy in the air are much higher than in the Honkai World. It's normal for your memories to be stimulated and revived in this environment. If you want to verify it, let's have a sword spar."

Fu Hua took the plasma screen and looked at Ye Ge with a strange expression: "You also know swordsmanship? How come I didn't know that? I've never seen you use it before?"

Ye Ge rolled her eyes and tapped her temple: "I'm supposed to be a true god in your world, you underestimate the concept of omniscience. I can access all the wisdom accumulated by existing humanity. If your past weren't so distant, I could uncover all your secrets." In truth, if Ye Ge exerted all her strength, she could also see through history and know Fu Hua's background, but that would consume too much of her mental energy and wouldn't benefit Fu Hua. It's better to let her recover on her own.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

Fu Hua stroked the blade of the Plasma Shadow, its chill seeping into her skin but being neutralized by her aura. She didn't activate the Plasma Shadow, for this was merely a swordsmanship contest. Fu Hua's body moved involuntarily, assuming a starting stance she had never used before yet felt intimately familiar with.

"I'll take this one."

As Ye Ge flipped his fingers, an ice blade appeared in his hand. Fu Hua frowned. Ye Ge's weapon was unremarkable, even lacking in hardness; it would shatter at the slightest touch. Was he underestimating her by using such a blade to fight her?

"Don't worry, it's been enhanced by me, it won't break."

Ye Ge saw through Fu Hua's thoughts, and the ice blade in his hand made a whistling sound as it was swung. Seeing this, Fu Hua also put aside his other thoughts and moved like a rabbit. With a twist of his ankle, he burst out with powerful propulsion, like a running cheetah. The plasma shadow in his hand was swung tightly and coldly, and he approached Ye Ge.

"Tch, so impatient?"

Night Song blocked the thrusting sword with her ice blade. The space around her distorted and plunged into darkness. Fu Hua's eyes lit up. She didn't know when Night Song had brought her into the Honkai world and used her power to create a solid energy field.

"Then I can let go too."

Fu Hua took a deep breath, and the blade in her hand became even more agile. With the swing of the weapon, the surging feeling in her body became stronger and stronger, as if it could break through her chest at any moment. Her body seemed to have practiced repeatedly, and every move was skillful and sharp. Therefore, she was even more convinced that there was more hidden in her memories!

"Again!"

Fu Hua's fighting spirit soared even higher. Relying on her body's memory, her attacks became increasingly fierce. However, Ye Ge's ice blade continued to swing, each strike hitting the katana's vulnerable waist, blocking Fu Hua's offensive. He gripped the blade in reverse and blocked Fu Hua's slash at the last second, then swung it back to knock Fu Hua away.

Hokushin Ittō-ryū - Severing.

Ye Ge raised his sword high above his head and brought it down with fierce force. His muscles and bones moved slightly. Even Raiden Mei, the successor of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū, could not perfectly replicate the slashing technique. Ye Ge copied it. The ice blade sliced ​​through the air. It was the ultimate stillness to the ultimate movement. Simple violence, yet it made Fu Hua unable to lift her head.

The two were locked in a fierce struggle. Fu Hua didn't notice that as her fighting spirit soared, her pupils turned red, tiny flames ignited at the ends of her hair, and the tips slowly turned red. The Feather Dust on her head quietly landed in her hair, shimmering with light.

"almost!"

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes, his toes touching the ground, and his figure suddenly blurred. Fu Hua felt a strong sense of alarm. Her rich combat experience made her feel an unknown threat. She stopped fighting and immediately withdrew her sword and retreated. However, Ye Ge was much faster than her. His figure moved like a hurricane. A flash of light appeared, and the blade from below was already close to Fu Hua's nose.

Manifestation of Flowing Clouds.

With her powerful physique and unique footwork, Ye Ge's speed, relying solely on her physical body without the aid of energy, had already entered the realm of the invisible. Even Fu Hua's dynamic vision could only detect a trace of it. The ice blade magnified in her eyes, and the cold air emanating from it even stung her skin.

"I... I remember now."

Suddenly, the Feather Dust on his head emitted a crimson light, the ice blade melted instantly, and Fu Hua transformed back into Chi Yuan. The Feather Dust floated above his head, and Fu Hua simply discarded Deng Zili's Shadow Show, letting it fall to the ground. Fu Hua had actually abandoned his weapon.

"Feather Crossing Dust - First Rated Power!"

Flames filled the sky, turning it crimson. Fu Hua conjured a brilliant lightsaber in her hand, with all the flames swirling around it. She leaped high into the air, the blade flipping, and plummeted towards Ye Ge below at full speed. The surrounding flames spun, forming a gigantic phoenix shape, even surpassing Mohong's Phoenix Wing Soaring.

"Primordial Void Sword Qi - Divine Essence!"

Ye Ge wore an excited smile. At this moment, Fu Hua's power had completely surpassed that of the Herrscher, and she could now stand on the step of confronting the Honkai Will. An invisible sword aura slashed through the air. This sword had neither form nor needed a form. This sword filled the space, and the sword was the space itself. Therefore, it was omnipresent and invincible.

The space was filled with the sword energy of the Void. Ye Ge laughed and opened his arms, and the red sword energy pierced through his body.

Section 210, page 206: A worthless witch is better off without her.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Fu Hua was slightly out of breath, feeling a bit tired. Although she had already adapted to the power of Feather Dust in Gensokyo, this level of liberation was a first for her. As the tidal wave of power within her receded, a smile appeared on Fu Hua's lips. With the burst of Feather Dust, something within her seemed to be reviving.

clap clap!

A crisp applause rang out from the ashes. Night Song stood there, a fiery red lightsaber still embedded in his chest, but he remained remarkably calm, showing no sign of pain, as if the Void Sword Qi had not struck him at all. He said with a hint of joy:

"Incredible power fluctuations, an omnipresent spatial sword, even a Herrscher would be slain, very good! Fu Hua! Your power can even injure a god!" The power of the Void Sword God surpassed that of any Herrscher Ye Ge had ever seen, its strength breaking through the Honkai energy shackles was enough to injure him, but only to injure him.

"what?"

Fu Hua suddenly looked up in surprise. She was already somewhat weak after using Feather of Dust. If she were still at the level of the Honkai world, she would have already suffered a backlash. Even if she became stronger, the side effects would not disappear. However, the expected situation did not happen. The Honkai energy around her gathered around her like a vortex and poured into her body, and the empty energy was immediately filled.

"Don't you care about yourself?"

Fu Hua's tone was filled with doubt. The fight had ended inconclusively. Yu Duchen's outburst had caused her to violate the rules, but it was clearly Ye Ge who was injured, so why did she receive treatment?

"I told you, you're only injured."

Ye Ge smiled, reached out and grabbed the invisible lightsaber. With a slight exertion, accompanied by a shower of light, the lightsaber shattered, turning into countless fragments that merged into Ye Ge's chest. He closed his eyes, as if savoring something, then suddenly opened them, his eyes shooting out sword light. He stretched out his hand, transforming his palm into a blade, and cleaved towards the surrounding mountain range.

Rumble!

Blue light filled the space, then quickly condensed into a sword shape, which was then inserted into the mountainside. The entire mountain range appeared as if it had been neatly torn apart, broken in the middle with a smooth cut.
