Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

Tianqin looked at the street in the distance that suddenly became a sea of ​​fire, and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly. "Am I really a big shot? Or does Kamen Rider always cause trouble wherever he goes?"

Although it shouldn't be such a coincidence, judging from the scale of the disaster that Tianqin saw, this incident affected almost an entire street. Not to mention that Tianqin keenly noticed that it was a bustling commercial street, and the number of people affected was probably not small.

"Call Xiaotao and the others to go together."

Tianqin was about to roll over and land when suddenly, a strange feeling of disharmony passed through her body. This feeling came and went quickly, and she could hardly feel what happened, but Tianqin, as a collapse source, reacted immediately.

"Just as I thought, it's Pause!"

As a user of the time-stopping abilities of Kronos and Huanmeng Wushuang, Tianqin was quite sensitive to this ability. With just a quick examination of her own body, given the unique data-based life form of the Collapse Body, she should be able to easily conclude that she had been stopped in time.

"That's right, Grandpa is using Chronos' Pause ability!"

Knowing that she was very close to Tan Zhengzong, Tianqin couldn't help but feel a little happy: "It seems that the place where the explosion occurred is where Grandpa is. But was this explosion caused by Grandpa himself, or by someone else?"

Just as Tianqin jumped off the ground and was about to call Xiaotao and others to go to the place where the commotion happened, the feeling of time stopping came again.

"Huh? Did Grandpa activate Pause again?"

Tianqin pondered, "Could it be... did Grandpa encounter a very strong opponent? Is there anyone in Kivotos who needs to use Pause twice to deal with?"

As the feeling of time stopping for the second time passed through his body, Tianqin looked in the direction of the explosion. Sure enough, after the fire, the weather around that street changed rapidly, and the sky was filled with haze as if before a rainstorm was about to come.

Following a long roar like something roaring, Tianqin could see that a huge beast covered in black stood up. However, from this position, only a small part of its upper body could be seen, which was blocked by the building.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

"Where are the firefighters? Go put out the fire!"

It seemed that the commotion on the street over there had affected other places. The fire caused by the sudden attack spread extremely quickly, starting from that street and setting fire to many houses in other places, and spreading to the surrounding blocks.

The fire department of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade has been dispatched urgently. Although they don’t know what happened in the central street, they can still control the surrounding fire and prevent it from spreading.

"Wow, this thing is really getting bigger and bigger."

Tianqin looked at the black giant beast faintly visible in the firelight and couldn't help but sigh. However, the expressions of the people around Tianqin were not so calm.

"We're in the middle of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons... This commotion is really too big!"

Xiao Tao looked at the fire in the distance that almost dyed half the sky red, and the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky at some point, and shouted in surprise: "Did I just see a giant monster?"

"Sister, it seems you really didn't see it wrong."

Xiaolu narrowed his eyes and even stood on tiptoe to look into the distance. Then he nodded with certainty: "It feels a bit like a giant black fox, or a cat. In short, I can't see it clearly, but it should be the shape of some kind of beast!"

"The beast's shape...is it some kind of gigantic animal?"

Xiao Tao analyzed seriously, "It's said that in the various urban legends circulating during the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, those strange ghosts are all created based on animals. Could this be the local characteristic of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade?"

"Compared to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, our thousand-year-old legends don't have so many variations."

Xiaolu, who had been following Tianqin, complained: "It's either a robot that moves on its own without a power source, or a ghost story that couldn't be more realistic, like a computer writing code in the middle of the night..."

Just as he said this, Yuzu beside him started to tremble. "No, no! Don't remind me of the horror story of staying up all night to modify code, only to wake up the next morning to find that the error message was still there!"

Watching Yuzu tremble beside her as she began to recall the time she made games on her own before Alice and the others arrived, Momo couldn't help but sigh, "Thankfully, after Danrito gave us the Genesis Mk1, the visual editing interface completely saved us the painful process of typing code~"

After Danrito brought that magical machine to the game development department, the process of creating games became much easier.

The process of making a game is like the creation of the universe. With just a wave of the hand, you can use your imagination to process all kinds of ideas in your mind. It is no exaggeration to say that the game development department is now inseparable from that magical machine.

"So the legend of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is more lively and vivid?"

Xiaolu frowned and thought: "Next time, should we consider making a game inspired by some of the urban legends from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?"

"Pressure is killing me! This is okay!"

Xiao Tao and Xiao Lu seemed to be using their imaginations again. Tian Qin, who was running in the front, turned back and reminded them, "As a game developer, it's a good thing to have instant inspiration from Gacha anytime, anywhere, but don't forget what we're doing right now."

Yuzu was stunned for a moment: "Oh, right, are we going to put out the fire now?"

“It’s really like putting out a fire.”

Tianqin nodded and said, "Whichever side of the fire is fighting, it looks like they need help."

Looking at the fire that had spread to other streets, even though Xiaotao and the others were not students of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, they could feel the urgency of the situation at this moment.

"In that case, it's time for Kamen Rider to come into play!"

Xiaolu took out his player drive and Color Splash cartridge from his back and said, "Let me help put out those burning houses!"

"Transform!"

Gachan!

Level up!

The chain of three primary colors, the interlacing of all colors!

With a buckle of his belt and a plug of his cassette, Xiaoluo instantly transformed into his Level 2 form. He casually took out his gashacon magnum with a launcher and said seriously:

"The launcher mode sprays paint over a large area. While the paint's original purpose is to restrain and slow the enemy's movements, creating opportunities for our own output, given the urgency of the situation, using these drinks as fire extinguishers is certainly within the realm of chance!"

"In that case! My cats can help too!"

Seeing this, Xiao Tao also reached out and took out her own King of Cats cassette, and followed her sister to complete the transformation: "henshin!"

Gachan!

Level up!

Neko KING!

The sisters, Momo and Lu, transformed into Kamen Rider forms at the same time and immediately ran towards the direction where the fire was most severe. One deployed her armed launcher form, spraying paint at the burning houses, while the other summoned a large number of cats as she ran.

Facing these cats she summoned, Xiao Tao gave a concise order: "All of you, go put out the fire!"

"Meow meow meow!!"

The many summoned cats immediately obeyed the order and rushed to the house that was burning in flames. Since the attack of the Tsukumogami happened in a flash, most of the residents in the surrounding area were caught up in the aftermath of the attack one after another before they even had time to understand what was happening.

By the time Xiao Tao arrived at the scene, some of the streets worst hit had been completely engulfed in flames. Endless heat waves were accompanied by billowing black smoke, and explosions could be heard from time to time due to the secondary disasters caused by the fire.

People from the Hyakki Yagyo Fire Department arrived quickly, but faced with the raging fire, even if these firefighters wanted to rush in to save people, they could only start from the outermost edge and continue to extinguish the fire before moving inward.

But at this rate, the group of trapped citizens and students in the center of the fire might be in big trouble!

"That won't do. We have to rescue them!"

The dim sky, the burning streets, the fleeing crowd, and the screams that kept coming into her ears made Xiaotao stunned for a moment.

If the battle was just caused by gunfights, Xiaotao would be very familiar with it as a student of Kivotos. Facing the giant enemies, those prophets, Xiaotao also thought that she had experienced many extremely shocking battle scenes.

But all of this seemed less shocking to Xiaotao than the fire in front of her.

Before arriving nearby, Xiao Tao was still able to calmly assign various tasks to the cats. However, when she really came into contact with the front line of the fire and saw the tragic scenes, Xiao Tao's mood became heavy.

"This fire was caused by that monster, right? If that's the case, we must extinguish the source first!"

He casually placed a portal for the cats on the spot. The portal automatically refreshed, and more cats went to the scene to provide assistance. Xiaotao rushed towards the location of the huge monster.

416. Grasp of Immortality!

The black quagmire representing the power of Hyaku Monogatari gradually expanded, almost submerging the entire street, and more and more Tsukumogami emerged from it.

As the number of the attached gods increased, Baihua Liaoluan and his group had to fight and retreat, and were almost forced to the exit of the street.

"Sorry everyone! I'm late..."

The long white hair fluttered on the battlefield, and Mingcao finally arrived here.

After witnessing the shocking tragedy in front of him, Minggusa's knuckles turned white because he gripped the gun handle with too much force.

Although her skin was as white as snow, the sight of the Tsukumogami wreaking havoc on the streets was very similar to the horrific scenes circulated in the stories.

"Mingcao, you are finally here."

Kikyo wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked, "You brought the gun with you, right?"

“…It’s always on me.”

Although Mingcao said this, she did not seem to show enough confidence, and the gun called "certificate of qualification" was always in Mingcao's hand.

"Great! That gun in Senior's hand must be the legendary weapon that can destroy Tsukumogami!" Zi's spirits lifted immediately: "This way we will have the power to fight back. Senior, please come and help! I will also try my best to cheer up!"

"It's not...that..." Mingcao muttered. This was completely different from the reliable senior that Zi usually saw in Mingcao. For some reason, Mingcao now showed a cowardly expression, "I...I can't do it..."

Zi was stunned: "...Can't do it? What does that mean? Meicao-senpai, aren't you the chairman of Baihua Liaoluan?"

Only the Chairman of Baihua Liaolan can use the weapon called the Certificate of Qualification.

This gun was passed down to Mingcao by the former chairman of Baihua Liaoluan, Acorus. In everyone's eyes, Mingcao is as trustworthy as Acorus, and can even be said to be a student who can be entrusted with the chairman's responsibilities.

In everyone's mind, apart from the former chairman of Baihua Liaoluan, Changpu, only Mingcao can take on the important task of chairman of Baihua Liaoluan.

Although Mingcao kept declining when everyone had placed such expectations on him in the beginning, he finally couldn't resist everyone's wishes and took on the title of acting chairman.

But from the beginning to the end, Meigusa did not feel that his achievements and strength were worthy of inheriting the responsibility of Ayame. Even after so much time had passed, Meigusa still did not feel that he was qualified to wield this weapon that only the Chairman could wield.

"Mingcao, what are you waiting for?" Lianhua, standing by, was puzzled. "Isn't the gun that Minister Changpu left behind in your hands now? Why can't you use it?"

"I..." Mingcao felt that he had never tried so hard to speak a word before. Even in front of these rampaging monsters, he was still hesitant. "But I... am not Acorus after all..."

"Ayame-san... is the undisputed chairperson of Baihua Liaoluan. She is both powerful and perfect. It's hard to find another chairperson more suitable than Ayame..."

Meicao spoke haltingly, her grip on the certificate of qualification tightening. This gun was indeed the token passed down by Baihua Liaoluan, the very weapon that Palm had always feared, the one that could eliminate strange stories and pose a serious threat to her Hundred Monogatari.

Mingcao gripped the gun tightly in her hand, as if only holding onto something could bring her some peace of mind. "So when everyone was trying to persuade me to take over as chairman of Baihua Liaoluan, I wasn't actually happy at all. Instead, I felt terrified."

"I know... I'm so far behind Ayame-san..."

"To think someone like me would be compared to Ayame-san and then have to inherit Ayame's position as chairman, I..."

Meigusa kept talking, and the time around him continued to move forward. The tsukumogami advanced again and again, and Renhua and Zi also kept working hard, repelling these tsukumogami again and again.

Fortunately, the battle between Kamen Rider and Neko-Oni in the center of the street attracted most of the Tsukumogami to support the center of the street. Because of this situation, the pressure on their side was not so great.

"I understand, Mingcao. What you mean is that you don't want to be the acting chairman at all."

There was no expression of joy or sadness on Kikyo's face. Perhaps she had a lot to say, but at this moment, Kikyo just turned her head to the side.

Mingcao's hands dropped, his expression gloomy. "I've never felt... happy as the acting chairman of Baihua Liaoluan."

Who would have thought that the reinforcements they had invited with great difficulty would lose their fighting spirit at this time because of some past events that they were unaware of, and the normal situation once again fell into a weird atmosphere.

"Senior Mingcao..."

Zi seemed to want to say something, but she looked at what was happening around her. Large groups of Tsukumogami could not be stopped and were wreaking havoc everywhere, and the huge cat ghost in the middle was also a terrible threat. The current situation seemed to leave her with no extra time to think about more things.

"In that case..."

Boom! !

Before Zi could finish what she wanted to say, there was a loud explosion behind her. Then the huge cat ghost suddenly flew backwards, knocking away a large number of Tsukumogami and smashing several houses on the street into pieces!

"Hey, what happened?"

Zi turned his head to look in the direction of the loud noise. In the center of the original battlefield, only the green figure of Kronos was still standing there.

The hem of the Kamen Rider's skirt was still fluttering because of the flying kick just now, and the cat ghost that was regarded as a huge threat by Zi and the others just now had now turned into shattered black dust with a howl.

"……well?"

Not only Zi was stunned, even Palm, who was in the center of the battlefield, didn't understand what had happened in the past moment.

"what happens……?"

Palm looked at Kronos, who had stood closer to her without her noticing. A second before she blinked, Kronos was still standing a little further away, but when Palm came to her senses again, Kronos was already standing in front of her, and the cat ghost that Palm had just summoned beside her had turned into debris on the ground.

"As expected, things killed in a space where time is suspended are no different, whether they are Hōgen-tai or Fusangshin."

Dan Zhengzong's voice came from beneath the mask and floated into Palm's ears. Although Palm subconsciously raised the gun in his hand, the hand holding the gun was shaking for some reason.

Although Palm is a little confused about the situation now, after all, too many things have happened just now. With Palm's small head, it is estimated that it will not be able to process so much information at once.

"Where's my cat ghost? I'm such a big ghost, how come I suddenly disappeared?"

But she still managed to understand a little bit of what Tan Zhengzong said, that is, the Kamen Rider opposite had used some special method to pause time just now, and during this pause, he solved the cat ghost summoned by Palm?

"T-This kind of thing... is impossible! How can there be such an unreasonable ability?"

——Time goes back——

Just after Palm summoned the cat ghost with the power of Hyaku Monogatari, Dan Masamune made a superficial assessment of the cat ghost's power.

The conclusion is that this guy's strength is just outward appearance and inward strength. Even a level 50 Collapse Source Body can knock him down. He just looks a little scary.
