I might be a fake Ultraman.

The power of time loops pervades the entire mirror world.

This also trapped Baili Yuan, Gates, and Yue Du within it.

They tried to break through in various ways, but no matter what they did, they couldn't escape the mirror world.

In the chaos of time, they eventually fell into an unobservable, unknown space.

A huge slap was about to land on Baili Yuan's face.

Baili Yuan, who was unconscious with his eyes closed, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed this hand, then opened his eyes.

The person standing in front of Baili Yuan was none other than Kanzaki Shirou.

Kanzaki Shiro's slap was interrupted.

The two locked eyes.

They all couldn't help but smile.

Baili Yuan sat up from the ground. He was in a strange room, less than three square meters in size and only about 1.5 meters high. It was a bit cramped with two adult men squeezed in.

The entire room appears to be made of stacked glass, radiating dazzling, multicolored light.

Gates and Tsukuyomi were nowhere to be seen.

"What about Gates and Tsukuyomi?"

Baili Yuan asked first.

“They have temporarily lost consciousness and are still in a time loop. I will erase this not-so-pleasant memory from them later,” Kanzaki Shiro explained calmly.

"You're a scientist who has no humanity whatsoever."

Baili Yuan made a comment, then looked around and asked, "Where is this place?"

"This is the deepest part of the Mirror World, a place even time cannot reach. Although it's a bit small, we can communicate about things here without worry."

Kanzaki Shiro explained, and he also sat down in front of Hyakuri Emi.

The two didn't seem like enemies; they were more like... long-lost friends.

Because Baili Yuan traveled back in time and found Kanzaki Shirou's sister, Kanzaki Yui, and saved her before she fell into the Mirror World.

Kanzaki Shiro's younger sister, Yui, was separated from her brother at a young age. Their parents died, and the two siblings were each adopted by a relative.

When Yui was a child, she met Shinji Kido when he was a child, and they spent a happy time together.

However, one time when they made plans to play together, Shinji Kido didn't show up, and Yui cried in front of the mirror because she was lonely.

But then, she heard another version of herself in the mirror calling her.

In the original history.

The ignorant and lonely Yui was invited to play in the Mirror World, but because she stayed there for too long, she was unable to return to the real world. She traded a drawing of a monster for her life in the Mirror World and then returned.

However, her life was set to end on her 20th birthday, so her brother, Shiro Kanzaki, organized a battle between Kamen Riders to extend his sister's life.

During this period, the mirror world frequently connected with the real world, and mirror monsters began attacking humans.

As Yui grew up, she forgot about her childhood, but as her 20th birthday approached, she gradually remembered those memories.

Ultimately, refusing to let others be harmed or sacrificed because of her, she ended her own life.

But Baili Yuan has transcended time and history.

When young Yui was about to be pulled into the mirror world.

Bai Liyuan appeared, pulled young Yui out, and reached into the mirror world, giving the naughty child Yui a big blouse to stop her from causing trouble.

After that, Bai Liyuan used Yui to control Kanzaki Shirou.

Kanzaki Shiro stated that Hyakuri En saved Yui and he would repay this kindness, but this was not a reason for Hyakuri En to use Yui to threaten him.

So, Shiro Kanzaki restarted time.

Kanzaki Shiro's power to manipulate time is also limited; otherwise, he would have already crossed the river of time himself to go back and save people.

He doesn't have that ability!
However, he can restart the Knights War.

Although Kanzaki Shirou restarted the timeline of the Knight War, he had no way to interfere with the timeline before the Knight War.

As a result, young Kanzaki Yui did not fall into the mirror world, but grew up normally and healthily.

History was thus changed.

As for why Kanzaki Shirou later researched the Mirror World and started the Knight Wars, that still happened.

Kamen Rider has appeared again.

There are two main reasons for this.

Firstly, even if Kanzaki Shiro hadn't studied the Mirror World in that era, the Mirror World was still approaching the real world, with mirror monsters constantly appearing and attacking innocent civilians.

Shiro Kanzaki's thinking didn't falter; he was still a human being. So he developed the Kamen Rider system, formed a Kamen Rider team, and fought against the Mirror Monster.

However, at that time, the Kamen Riders chosen by Shiro Kanzaki were all people he approved of, true heroes who could protect the people.

When those Kamen Rider users want to quit, Shiro Kanzaki will let them go, but he will erase their memories.

Of course, Shiro Kanzaki didn't let the hero work for nothing, shedding blood and tears.

Kanzaki Shiro is paid a salary, and he also receives bonuses for defeating Mirror Monsters.

For Shiro Kanzaki, money is the easiest resource to obtain, and it's something everyone needs.

As for the Rider Wars, it's a competition among the Kamen Riders themselves to determine who is superior.

Shiro Kanzaki approved of the Knights War, but established some protective rules to ensure that no one would die.

Furthermore, Shiro Kanzaki will offer the final winner a grand prize—a one million yen reward—and a wish within his power.

Perhaps because of this power, some Kamen Riders actually wanted to fulfill their wishes and actively joined the battle.

Their wishes are mostly to save sick relatives, change their own fate, or at most seek revenge.

But there is one wish that Kanzaki Shiro will not accept: the desire to find love.

To such a wish, Shiro Kanzaki immediately slapped him across the face.

You're willing to risk your life to fight, and yet you tell me you're too afraid to confess your feelings.

Are you making fun of me?

Closer to home.

The second reason is that Kanzaki Shiro is indeed interested in the Mirror World, and he has been deepening his research on the Mirror World and the Kamen Rider system, gradually making himself stronger.

Shiro Kanzaki should be in his forties now, but he still looks as young as an eighteen-year-old boy.

Meanwhile, Kanzaki Shiro's research also made a breakthrough. He no longer needed to recruit people to form groups because he had developed a method to directly create and control Kamen Riders.

No shapeshifter needed.

Those Kamen Riders who were previously defeated were actually directly controlled by Shiro Kanzaki.

This method allows the Kamen Rider system to no longer be limited to a dozen or so Kamen Riders, and also allows the power of Kamen Riders to be used to seal powerful Mirror Monsters for a long time.

As a result, attacks on humans by mirror monsters decreased significantly, and contact between the mirror world and the real world gradually diminished until it eventually disappeared completely.

However, because Baili Yuan and the others took away the power of Dragon Rider, Night Rider, and Flower Dream, they never appeared again, but the power of Dragon Fang still appeared.

As for the so-called "history" of Kanzaki Shirou pursuing the power of the Dragon Knight to completely end the Knight War, it was deliberately fabricated by Kanzaki Shirou.

History is like a little girl who can be dressed up however she likes.

Inside this small room, Kanzaki Shiro finally revealed these true historical events to Hyakuri En.

Baili Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

Now he is quite sensitive to words like history and time.

Is the history experienced by Oma Zi-O a fabrication?

The old demon king guided these final bosses, bringing Kanzaki Shirou before him to tell him all this. Was there a deeper meaning behind this? (End of Chapter)
