I'm in a Kamen Rider group, and I've joined a tokusatsu chat group.

Chapter 141 The Target: The River of Three Crossings!

"Hey Hey hey!"

"You're not a true swordsman, are you?"

The gargoyle, wielding a scarlet longsword, blocked the card-wielding sword in Kadoya Tsukasa's hand. Sensing the power of words that was different from that of a true swordsman, he asked in confusion.

"Whether you're a true swordsman or not is irrelevant." Tsukasa Kadoya snorted, then suddenly jerked his right hand, using the Card Box Sword to knock the Multimouth Monster back a few steps. He wiped the Card Box Sword and pointed it at the Multimouth Monster, saying, "All you need to know is that I'm here to destroy you, nothing more."

Faced with Tsukasa Kadoya's arrogant and domineering demeanor, the talkative monster's eyes flashed with a bluish-green light, and his voice became shrill, "Pink guy, you're asking for death!"

"Pink?!"

A hint of anger appeared on his face beneath the mask, and he then took out a card and threw it into the driver.

Attack Ride!

With the driver reading attack controlling the card, Tsukasa Kadoya suddenly rushed forward.

With an imposing aura, the card-wielding sword in his hand gleamed with a magenta light.

Slash!

"This is magenta!!!"

Just as the attack was about to land on the multi-mouthed monster, its voice rang out, "Hundred Heads Separation!"

"Nani?"

The body, composed of a hundred heads with only mouths, instantly dispersed, and the enhanced sword blade missed its target.

This bizarre scene startled Tsukasa Kadoya.

In that moment of stunned silence, the hundred heads slammed into various parts of Kadoya Tsukasa's body.

呲呲呲——

In just a moment, sparks burst forth from his body.

The scattered hundreds of heads reassembled into the body of the multi-mouthed monster, which swung down with a long sword before Tsukasa Kadoya could react to the attack.

The longsword streaked through the air, leaving afterimages, before landing on the Decade armor and forcefully knocking Tsukasa Kadoya back.

"Nothing special." The talkative monster looked at Tsukasa Kadoya, whom he had just defeated, and sneered.

"Hey, Xiaoming-ge." Seeing that Kadoya Tsukasa looked a bit embarrassed, Higashino Rin called out, "Do you need our help?"

"Help?" Tsukasa Kadoya patted the sparks flying off his body. "It's just a test of the power of these so-called Outer Paths. I don't need any help."

With a soft hum, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the talkative monster with its bizarre movements.

"If we're talking about speed... then let's use this."

With the Rider Card Box Sword planted straight in the ground, Tsukasa Kadoya pulled out a Rider Rider Card.

"That is……"

The multi-mouthed monster was slightly taken aback when it saw the unique card.

It seemed to be something I had never seen before.

『KamenRide!』

Kabuto!

With a flash of magenta light, Tsukasa Kadoya's appearance underwent a dramatic transformation, except for the white driver on his abdomen.

It has azure compound eyes, a distinctive bright red horn on its head, and bright red armor that shines in the sunlight.

Kamen Rider Kabuto!

"It's changed?" The Talkative Monster was somewhat confused. These humans had already mastered such power?
A power completely different from the power of words used by previous True Swordsmen...

"Heh..." Looking at Tsukasa Kadoya, who had changed his appearance, the talkative monster was still disdainful. "My power is not something that can be dealt with just by changing my appearance."

With the ability to split and steal souls, he is one of the top figures among the heretics. How could someone who is not even a true swordsman be his opponent?

"Is that so?" Tsukasa Kadoya chuckled, pulled out a card and looked at the talkative monster. "I don't think I'll lose to a talkative guy like you."

Attack Ride!

『Clock Up!』

As the driver in his abdomen closed, Tsukasa Kadoya's figure instantly transformed into a blur as he rushed towards the multi-mouthed monster.

In his ascended state, Tsukasa Kadoya kicked the multi-mouthed monster.

"Keep dividing it! Keep dividing it for me!"

"Pink?!"

"That's a magenta!"

Tsukasa Kadoya vented his frustration by punching the gruff monster on the head again.

With so many heads stuffed with mouths, no wonder they're so blind.

I can't even tell the difference between pink and magenta.

『Final Attack Ride!』

"Ka-Ka-Ka-Kabuto!" (A-A-A-A-A fight!)』

The faster-than-light particles began to spread from the tentacles on his head towards Tsukasa Kadoya's right leg, with pale blue arcs of electricity crackling incessantly.

The surrounding space began to distort, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible force.

Rider Slash!

A sudden mechanical sound rang out, before Tsukasa Kadoya could even unleash his Rider Kick.

The purple, faster-than-light particles combined with the toxins formed a light blade that struck Tsukasa Kadoya.

Clock Over! (Speed-up ends!)

With a loud "boom," an explosion rang out.

Time resumed its slow flow around them, and the flames from the explosion engulfed Tsukasa Kadoya's body.

"What...is going on?"

Feeling the pain in his body, Duokouguai couldn't help but gasp.

It felt like I'd been punched at least once, even though it was only for a split second...

"This is too bizarre..."

With that thought in mind, the multi-mouthed monster didn't hesitate at all and instantly burrowed into the gap connecting the human world and the Sanzu River.

Upon seeing the vengeful spirit who had returned to the Sanzu River...
"What the hell was that knight just now?"

Supporting his old waist, which had been slashed by a knight's attack, Tsukasa Kadoya stared at the gap left behind when the multi-mouthed monster disappeared.

"A Kabuto series rider?"

"So, in this world, that Narutaki guy..."

He was able to summon knights in non-knight worlds, and even... could travel between different worlds; in his memory, there were only two.

Haidong should still be atoning for his sins in his own world, and the driver is currently in his possession.

Another one, naturally, is the one who, at other times, proclaims himself a destroyer of the world—Narutaki.

"Brother Xiaoming, are you alright?" Higashino Rin and his group walked over and looked at Kadoya Tsukasa, who was holding his back.

"How could anything be wrong? I am..."

Before Tsukasa Kadoya could even shout, he simply twisted his body and the waist where he was struck by the Knight Slash made a "crack" sound.

"hiss--"

Taking a deep breath, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at Rin Higashino and the other two.

Seeing the three people's puzzled looks, Tsukasa Kadoya quickly waved his hand.

“Rin, that heretic escaped through that gap. Is there any way to catch him?” Kadoya Tsukasa looked at the group of people who had fainted on the street.

"Perhaps... we could give the Aurora Curtain a try."

Looking at the people who had fainted from having their souls devoured by the multi-mouthed monster, Higashino stroked his chin.

In the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger setting, living people cannot enter the Sanzu River. To enter the Sanzu River, one must abandon the human path and enter the Outer Path, becoming a semi-Outer Path.

The most common ability of the Aurora Veil is to travel between different parallel worlds and spaces. As time goes by, the Aurora Veil's abilities have also been expanded. In the world of Zi-O, it can travel to different timelines like the Time Machine.

The River of Three Crossings and the human world exist in different dimensions, but the Aurora Veil should be able to teleport between them. "Then what are we waiting for?"

Kadoya Tsukasa holds a grudge against the pink thing in that mouthful monster's mouth.

Looking at the anxious Tsukasa Kadoya, Rin Higashino felt somewhat helpless.

Brother Xiaoming, you really hold grudges.

However, it is indeed necessary to make a trip to the Sanzu River.

Higashino Rin was deep in thought, his gaze fixed on the crowd of people who had fainted on the street.

In my memory, if the multi-mouthed monster devours people's souls and they are not defeated within a day, those whose souls have been devoured will die in agony.

"Brother Xiaoming, let's go there."

Just as Higashino Rin raised his hand, a series of rapid, hurried footsteps sounded.

A group of Kuroko, dressed like Tsukasa Kadoya, walked in carrying a white curtain. Behind Kuroko were three men and two women.

"Your Highness, the heretics have escaped." Ikenami Ryūnosuke said hurriedly, looking at Shiba Jōru beside him.

There were no more figures of the heretics around. Shiba Takeru clenched his fists as he looked at the unconscious man lying on the ground, his eyes filled with anger towards the heretics.

"Samurai Sentai...Shinkengers?"

Looking at the five people, Tsukasa Kadoya picked up the magenta camera hanging around his neck, and with a "click" sound, he released the shutter button.

"who are you?!"

Looking at the four people at the crime scene, Ikenami Ryunosuke stood protectively in front of Shiba Takeru, saying, "Your Highness, be careful."

Looking at Shimoike Ryunosuke blocking his way, Shiba Joru, with a stern face, raised her right hand and pushed Ryunosuke away.

"Eh... Your Highness."

Seeing Shiba Takeru taking the risk and stepping forward, Ikenami Ryunosuke, who had regained his footing, quickly called out.

Just as Ikenami Ryunosuke was about to chase after him, Shiraishi Mako reached out and stopped him, saying, "It's alright, you must trust His Highness."

"But……"

Looking at his three other companions, Ryunosuke Ikenami had a sullen expression on his face.

Looking at Tsukasa Kadoya, who was dressed in all black, Takeru Shiba stared at him for a few moments before her gaze fell on the magenta camera hanging around his neck. Her voice was cold as she asked, "You're not one of the family's Kuroko members. Who are you, really?!"

Faced with Shiba Takeru's sudden question, Kadoya Tsukasa immediately reacted conditionedly, "He's just a Kamen Rider who's passing by, you don't need to remember him."

"Brother Lin, could something bad be going to happen?"

As Tsukasa Kadoya uttered those words, Yusuke Onodera couldn't help but recall the monsters they had previously eliminated. It seemed that... after those words were spoken, these monsters all met rather tragic ends.

Thinking of this, Yusuke Onodera asked Higashino Rin in a low voice.

"It's alright, that won't work on your comrades." Seeing Onodera Yusuke's nervous look, Higashino Rin smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Kamen Rider?"

Shiba Takeru repeated those four words, his face showing confusion and bewilderment.

This was the first time he had ever heard of the title "Kamen Rider".

Just as Shiba Takeru was about to continue questioning, Umemori Genta, pushing a sushi cart, rushed over like lightning.

"Jōru!!!"

"Sorry, I'm late."

Exhaling a breath to calm himself down, Mei Shengyuan quickly looked around, "Where are the heretics? Where are the heretics?"

“They’ve already left through the gap,” Shiba Takeru said helplessly.

"The Holy Lord of Truth!"

Looking at Shinken Kin, the additional fighter in the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Higashino Rin instantly thought of the True Saint Lord holding a book he only half-understood.

Holy Lord of Truth: I am a kind-hearted person, and I cannot bear to see you suffer so much...

Of course, in the world of esports, this is a genuine swordsman—True Sword Gold.

Although there have always been memes and similar images online about the early days of the Holy Lord of Truth's business.

"Hey, who are you...?"

Looking at Higashino Rin and his group, Umemori Genta glanced at Shiba Takeru.

"I heard it's something like Kamen Rider," Shiba Takeru explained.

“Kamen Rider.” Mei Shengyuan nodded thoughtfully, then his face contorted in an exaggerated expression. “Huh? Rider?!”

The words of the old man in the hat instantly echoed in her mind, and she quickly pulled Shiba Takeru back a few steps, pointing at Kadoya Tsukasa.

"You...you...you are Decade!"

"Huh? So my reputation has spread throughout the world already?" Tsukasa Kadoya's lips curled up slightly.

I just don't know what kind of reputation it has.

"Destroyer of the world, Decade!!!"

Tsukasa Kadoya: "Enorai Narutaki!"

This guy really won't give up. He hasn't been quiet for more than a few worlds, and now he's started spreading rumors that he's a world destroyer.

Tsukasa Kadoya's face was gloomy; he wished he could grab Narutaki and slap him twice.

"Brother Xiaoming, time waits for no one. Let's go to the River of Three Crossings first and find out who those heretics are."

Higashino Rin came to Kadoya Tsukasa's side and said softly.

"Sanzu River... heretics..."

Shiba Takeru's expression turned serious as she looked at Higashino Rin, "What exactly does this mean?"

Higashino pointed to the people being carried on Kuroko's back, "Their souls have been devoured by the heretics. If the heretics who devoured their souls are not eliminated, they will die in the most painful state a day later."

"what?!"

Six voices rang out simultaneously. Ikenami Ryunosuke scratched his head and said, "You must be joking. How could such a thing happen?"

"But...but living people can't enter the River of Three Crossings at all."

Mei Shengyuan became very distressed.

“Just because you can’t get in doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to us,” Tsukasa Kadoya said with a smile.

"Lin, let's go."

Higashino Rin nodded, and the Aurora Curtain instantly appeared behind Higashino Rin and the others.

"This is……"

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the Sanzu River with you." Seeing this, Shiba Takeru looked at Kadoya Tsukasa.

"You?" Tsukasa Kadoya crossed his arms and stared at Takeru Shiba with a suspicious look. "Your Highness would be better off remaining a prince."

From the way the people around him addressed Shiba Takeru, Kadoya Tsukasa understood Shiba Takeru's status.

Among these true swordsmen, Shiba Takeru is considered a prince, the other four are retainers, and the person buying the sushi is Shiba Takeru's friend.

Your Highness, retainer?
What era is this? How can such a thing still exist?
This guy's strength doesn't seem that great.

If the heretics were to establish their main camp there, wouldn't he have to entertain His Highness then?
This is very troublesome.

“That’s just how Xiaoming is, don’t take it to heart,” Dongye Lin explained. “He’s just concerned about you guys, it’s just that his mouth…”

“We True Swordsmen are not that weak. No matter what, we True Swordsmen also have a responsibility and obligation to do what the heretics have done.”

"Is that so?" Tsukasa Kadoya stroked his chin. "In that case, let's all come together. Just don't hold me back."

Leaning against a stone pillar, Juzo held the demon sword in his hands and listened to Higashino Rin and his group's conversation in his superhuman, semi-heretical form.

"Humans entering the Sanzu River?"

Shi Zang repeated the sentence, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

Throughout history, there has never been a precedent of a human being being able to enter the Sanzu River.

Only heretics and semi-heretics can enter the Sanzu River, or... is there something special about this guy?
Thinking of this, Juzo held the demon sword in his hand, a crimson light flashing in his eyes.

“You’ll know once you try it.”
