Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

"Reminder. If Yakuya cannot defeat the opponent, please abandon Yuxian and run for your life without hesitation."

"What...what nonsense are you talking about! If the opponent is too strong, I will be responsible for delaying him. As long as Xixian survives, that's enough!"

Just as the Yami sisters continued to bicker, a low but clearly audible "Ark Driver" sound immediately plunged the entire venue into silence again.

Silence and dead silence are the best words to describe the current situation.

Da da da……

The sound of footsteps, which were neither hurried nor slow but gradually getting louder, made everyone stand ready and face the direction of the oncoming person.

The person who came was Shenlianhua.

The white sclera of her left eye had been replaced by black, and the original pupil had turned into a suppressed blood red. The strap of her belt was entirely black, with a dark red core in the middle.

"Kamika" raised her hand, and a ball of dark matter gathered and formed in her hand - a blood-red key, and the right side of the key resembled the face of Kamen Rider 01.

"Ark Zero One!"

"HENSHIN."

"Progrise! Final Conclusion! Ark Rising Hopper!"

"Kaminari Ka" inserted the Ark01 key into the Ark drive, and a huge mechanical locust jumped out of the drive. Unlike 01 that jumped around everywhere, this locust seemed to be in great pain, and black spiritual power like oil flowed out of every joint of its body.

“Gala——!”

With a scream, like a whale exploding, the locust's entire body exploded and turned into blood-red armor that attached to Shenlianhua.

Kamen Rider Ark01, the symbol of true despair has come to the world.

Chapter 19: Den Liner

The Kamen Rider in front of them was obviously not much different from his usual appearance, but the sense of oppression he gave people was indeed unprecedented.

The blood-red eyeball of Shenlianhua's left eye was moving rapidly, as if it had an independent consciousness. She seemed to be sizing up everyone and the surrounding environment. The dynamic and flexible eyeball contrasted with Shenlianhua's almost unchanged expression, which seemed inexplicably strange.

“Wuwuwuwuwuwu——!”

At this time, the space quake sounded out of nowhere, but no one was surprised. After all, the space quake alarm was triggered by detecting the overflow of spiritual power before the space quake. For Kamika, who had transformed into Ark01, the space quake alarm's instrument for detecting spiritual power was probably going to explode.

Faced with such a powerful and incomprehensible enemy, everyone stared at him without moving, ready to find his weakness and try their best to kill him with one full-strength blow.

"Do not move."

Kamika opened her mouth, but the voice that came out of her mouth was as if that of a different person. It was no longer the pure and lovely feeling as before, but a voice that was both charming and terrifying, contradictory and unified.

"Don't move your hands."

"Ok?"

Just when everyone was puzzled by this unclear sentence, the next second, they understood why.

They heard a series of "da da da" sounds, and then they noticed that it was arms. All the arms were chopped off by Shenlianhua in an instant and fell to the ground.

"What...what just happened..." Shiori looked at the broken hands on the ground in astonishment. The intense pain that followed made her fall to her knees.

"This... what is all this?! ", as a different person, Hanyu Shinren screamed miserably as she looked at her broken arm that was bleeding.

"It was so fast that it's completely invisible to the naked eye. It was over before the pain nerves could even react." Origami's forehead was dripping with sweat. She now felt for sure that the other party was not in the same dimension as them.

"Even the spiritual equipment can't defend against it..." Tohka looked at the blood-red knight in disbelief. Although it was a limited spiritual equipment, it was also an absolute shield of the elves. It was as if it didn't exist in front of the opponent.

"Shiona... Shiona... it hurts..." Shion sobbed while looking at Shiona who had fallen with the broken hand. She wanted to pick it up again, but she couldn't do it.

"It's unbelievable that it has such power."

"Fear. I am no match for you..."

"My arm... is gone!"

"It hurts so much... Am I really going to die here?"

In just a few seconds, Shiori and his team experienced the powerful strength of Kamen Rider Ark01. In the eyes of the opponent, all of our people were as weak as babies in swaddling clothes. She could break everyone's arms so quietly, which was enough to show that she was fully capable of cutting off everyone's heads in the blink of an eye.

"Next time, it'll be your legs."

【! ! ! 】

However, a beam of light fell from the sky and directly deflected Kamika's attack. What appeared in front of everyone was a light blue mosaic.

"Phantom? No, it's a little different." After recovering the world of the first round, Origami discovered that the being who saved them was very similar to the mysterious elf Phantom who had granted the spirit crystal before. However, she also found that there were some differences in many details.

"No, it's Zea." Shiori still remembered that in the first round of the world, it was Zea who saved the lives of all the crew members on Fraxinus.

Zeya's whole body was emitting dazzling light, and when Shenlianhua reacted, everyone disappeared.

--split line--

"Wow...where is this place..."

Hanyu Masaharu's consciousness began to become clear. What came into view was a clean white ceiling, not the dark night stained with firelight. There was an elastic mattress beneath her, not a floor covered in blood.

Was all that just a dream? Hanyu Shinren had this doubt after he got up, but the thick bandages on his arm and the piercing pain brought him back to reality. He tried to move his arm, and even though it had been repaired by the manifestation device, it still hurt a lot.

The room he was in was a very standard multi-person ward. He could smell disinfectant with every breath he took. The elf girls on the beds next to him had their eyes closed and looked fine. He had fainted due to excessive blood loss before, and it seemed that he and the girls were saved by that thing called Zeya.

What should he do next? Should he continue to live under the fear of Ark01? Hanyu Manrei cannot do that now.

"Hiden Manre, are you there?" After a little hesitation, Hanyu Manre closed her eyes and planned to talk to herself in the first world again.

[I have seen the details of the situation and I am sorry that I was unable to help.]

"No... I should be the one to say sorry." Hanyu Mayu curled up, "If it wasn't me but you, things might not be so bad."

[Maybe it will be better, maybe it will be worse, who can tell? The past cannot be changed, so instead of being sad here, why not think with me about how to deal with the current problems.]

The past cannot be changed. Is it true that the past cannot be changed?

Hanyu Shinren took a long break and spoke tremblingly: "Um... can we ask Kurumi to solve this problem?"

[This is indeed a solution, but is it really good? Maybe you will really disappear. How about trying to believe in Shiori and the others? Although I don't believe in miracles, they have repeatedly slapped me in the face with reality. Maybe they can really come up with a way to prevent you from disappearing and the world from being destroyed. ]

"A miracle? Haha..." Hanyu Shinren showed a helpless smile and laughed bitterly, "I am you and you are me. If you don't believe in miracles, I naturally won't believe in them either. As for disappearing... I don't think I should have existed in this world, right?"

After saying that, Hanyu Shinren climbed up from the bed and walked to Origami's bedside. Origami's eyes were now closed. Although being in the same ward with Hanyu Shinren, who was not seriously injured, proved that Origami's injuries were not serious, Hanyu Shinren still felt a pang of pain.

Origami's arms were also wrapped in thick bandages like Hanyu Shinrei, and Hanyu Shinrei silently held her hands.

[You have always taken care of me, a useless and selfish person. The disasters now are all caused by me, so even though I am so useless, there are things I have to do. I'm sorry, Origami.]

After saying that, Hanyu Shinrei closed his eyes. In a blank space of thought, Hanyu and Hiden Shinrei met again, just like the first time they met.

"Wait, you're going to..." Fei Dian Zhen Lian seemed to realize the intention of the other self in front of him, "Wait! There is no basis for things like mind space. If you act rashly, you will really disappear!"

"Giving you the initiative of my body is the only thing I can do. What they need is Hiden Shinrei, not the cowardly and selfish Hanyu Shinrei." After saying that, Hanyu Shinrei passed through Hiden Shinrei's body and turned into particles and dissipated.

"Wait!" Hiden Shinrei wanted to stop him, but everything in front of him turned back to the hospital room, and all that was left was Hanyu's glasses that fell on the ground. No matter how he called out, he could no longer hear Hanyu Shinrei's voice in his mind.

"Damn it..." Shinrei said with gritted teeth. Although he and Hanyu had only known each other for a short time, Shinrei could definitely empathize with Hanyu's desire for happiness and home. Unconsciously, Shinrei treated Hanyu as his own brother.

Although he is a cowardly, selfish but self-aware ordinary person, his behavior is completely understandable. It is only because he has the name "True Rei" that he must disappear, so he must sacrifice his own happiness.

"Wait... Origami's body!"

Shinren suddenly discovered that Origami's body on the bed had become translucent. Was it Ark01's doing? No, it was only Origami who had this phenomenon.

【Could it be! 】

When Ark01 was killing everyone, everyone forgot about one guy - that was the Fire Dragon Demon God who had previously entered Zhenlian's body!

I heard that guy yelling about "going back to the past" and stuff like that before, and it seems like he wasn't just bragging.

Regardless of whether the problem of Ark01 can be solved now, we must go back.

Zhenlian almost sprinted out of Ratatosk's underground facility. Now the city of Tiangong was filled with fire, ruins, explosions, and charred corpses, creating a tragic scene of hell on earth.

"Tokisaki Kurumi! You are watching! Come out quickly! I need your strength——!"

"Ah, alas. Even though he had the opportunity to start over, Mr. Zhenlian still failed to seize it. Mr. Zhenlian is really a loser." With a sarcastic laugh, the elf lady in black and red spiritual clothes walked out of the darkness.

"Hurry up, use the Twelve Bullets to send me back to the past! Otherwise, it will be too late!" Zhen Lian said with a firm look in her eyes, "As for the price, after the matter is done, whether it is spiritual power or my body. You can take whatever you want, even if you want to eat me alive! In return, please be sure to lend me a helping hand! Please!"

After saying that, Zhenlian bowed deeply to Kurumi.

"There's really nothing I can do. I'm so gentle, and I have no reason to refuse someone like him." Kuang San pretended to be helpless, and then aimed her musket at Zhen Lian, "Keke Emperor o Twelve..."

Before Kuang San could finish her words, a large hole similar to a wormhole appeared in the sky. As a strange train bell rang, a long track extended to the ground. A red and white train with high speed drove to the side of Kuang San and Shin Lian and stopped. The powerful suction phenomenon almost caused the two to crash into the train.

"Captain, this is the time and space where the problem occurred. And that person is the one who contracted the Demon God?"

Chapter 20 I’ll take part! (Part )

A train, yes, a train. A train with a head that looked like a peach cut in half stopped beside Shinren and Kurumi. The clean and tidy train looked out of place in the sea of ​​fire in Tengu City.

The door opened with a click. A little girl in a white shirt and black skirt jumped off the train. Before Shinrei and Kuangsan could ask about the situation, she came to Shinrei and pointed something that looked like a ticket at him.

Miraculously, the image of the fire dragon demon god that attacked Shiori before appeared on the ticket. The little girl said to herself: "So this demon god ran away five years ago... Do you remember what happened on this day five years ago?"

"Wait... I still have a lot of questions!" Zhenlian now feels that the situation is becoming more and more confusing. She has no idea who this inexplicable train and the little loli in front of her are.

"My name is Ye Nai, and the train behind me is the Den Liner, a train that can travel through time. The weirdo who fulfilled your wish before is called Yi Mo Shen, and now he has traveled back to this day five years ago to wreak havoc, and our mission is to stop him and correct time." The little loli who calls herself Ye Nai suddenly began to look at Zhen Lian carefully, "Wait! Are you a singularity?"

"Huh? What singularity?"

Before Zhenlian could react, she saw a few weird guys sticking their heads out from the open car door.

"Ohhhh, it's another singularity."

"Ah, don't be like that, senpai, it's really crowded here."

"Taozi, calm down a bit. Don't think you can run around just because time and space are in such a mess."

"It's so boring here. There's no big square or street dance team."

The red monster in the lead looks like a red demon, but there are many peach elements added to various parts of the body. In addition, the red body has many black Japanese patterns; the second blue monster has hexagonal armor in the shape of a tortoise shell on his body; the third golden monster has a strong back and a single horn on his head, white mane on his shoulders, and axe decorations on both shoulders; the last purple monster has Chinese dragon elements on his head, a purple braid, and wears an integrated headset.

"This is... the alien demon god?"

When Zhenlian saw those weirdos, she immediately became alert, but those weirdos immediately picked up Zhenlian without saying anything and walked towards Den Liner.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Zhenlian shouted while struggling. However, as an ordinary person with barely the strength to tie a chicken, Zhenlian could only be carried into that strange train by these weirdos.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

"Don't worry, even though you are stupid and fierce, you can be sure that you won't bite anyone."

"Turtle, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Seeing Zhenlian being carried into the train by the four different demon gods like cargo, Kuang San shook her head helplessly: "Ah, a train of time? It seems that this world is not as simple as I thought."

Then Kuang San turned around and looked down at Ye Na: "Little Ye Na, since you are the corrector of time, I am still quite curious why you would leave a little girl like me alone."

Hearing what Kurumi said, Ye Na smiled: "Time is not as harsh as you think. The existence of us, Den Liner, is proof of the gentleness of time."

"Time is gentle..." Kurumi smiled as she watched Den Liner heading towards the space-time wormhole, "At least time is not gentle enough to heal my wounds. But instead of recalling those unpleasant experiences, I wish you smooth sailing, Mr. Zhenlian."

The scenery outside the window is an endless white desert, and the sky is a very dreamy, colorful white. This strange space really fits the magical name of the Desert of Time.

The train compartment is a very comfortable space. The coffee shop in the corner exudes a charming aroma of food. The waitress named Naomi is cute, and Shinrei almost mistook her for the boss of AgitΩ, Shinrei. The uncle next to him, who is called the conductor by everyone, is enjoying the fragrant fried rice while saying strange lines. Something like "Den Liner, the train of time, will the next stop be the past or the future?" Although he looks like a strange uncle, Shinrei's intuition tells her that this person is definitely not a simple character.

"Is this really a desert of time?" Even after seeing such an unreal situation outside the car, Zhenlian pushed the snoring Kintaras aside and asked half-doubtfully.

"According to what you said, you have experienced time travel before, so why don't you believe in the existence of such a thing?" Yenna, who was sitting opposite, asked puzzledly.

"Since you are really time cultivators, there should be time police or something like that, right? I just want to call time 110 and let the police solve this time kidnapping case." Zhenlian slumped down in her seat. This way of treating guests like moving goods alone had left Zhenlian with the impression that these guys were very unreliable.

"We pulled you here for a reason, because you are a singularity. That's why we asked you to temporarily transform into Electric King and fight the Demon God. You probably don't want your time and space to be destroyed by that Fire Dragon Demon God, right?"

"Singularity?" Upon hearing this new word, Zhenlian tilted her head in confusion.

"Singularities are people who are not affected by the destruction of time and space. For example, if A is a singularity, and the Demon God traveled back in time and killed his mother before A was born. A, as a singularity, will not disappear, but will become a time wanderer." Ye Na explained patiently to Zhen Lian, but Zhen Lian's look of a bad student was really infuriating.

Seeing that Mana and Ye Na were still arguing over something, Momotaros came over impatiently and said, "Okay, Hana (in Japanese, HANA and nose are homophones), there's no need to say so much to him. What he has to do is very simple, just let me possess him, and then leave the rest to me."

"Huh? Possessed? I don't want that. I already have bad memories." Zhenlian waved his hands hurriedly, because after the Fire Dragon Demon God ambushed him and stabbed Shizhi, he had an aversion to strange things entering his body.

"Oh, leave it to me. Don't worry, it won't hurt when you're possessed." After saying that, Taotalos pressed Zhenlian directly on the chair and prepared to enter his body.

"Wait! Wait! Don't come near me! Don't come over here!"

"Don't move! What's wrong with your body? Why is it so hard to get in?"

“Ahhhh! Help! What the hell is this? I’m really going to cry!”
