Just now, when Gu Yu sensed Yae Sakura's murderous intent, he guessed a possibility.

In the original work, Yae Sakura did indeed suppress Himeko, and the two Herrschers, who were like symbiotic beings, were actually dominated by Yae Sakura.

Himeko, who should have been a more powerful and righteous Herrscher, could only resort to manipulation to persuade Yae Sakura to give up her resistance and surrender her body to his control.

However, Gu Yu did not forget that the original plot is still just the original plot.

From the moment he transmigrated, the entire plot had already become a complete mess.

Bronya, who was not supposed to have amnesia, now seems to have truly forgotten her true identity.

Yuno, who was supposed to die at Theresa's hands a few months later, has now been saved by him.

Since these plot points have changed—who knows if Yae Sakura can still suppress Himeko as she did in the original story.

Therefore, Gu Yu, who had been careful, was able to use the new ability [Partial Armor Manifestation] that she had just evolved by absorbing Honkai energy at the critical moment to summon the divine armor to block this slash.

"Interesting, in this day and age, there are actually people who know me?"

After missing his first attack, Himeko, who was controlling Yae Sakura's body, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Kid, it seems like the Stigmata in your hand has absorbed a lot of Honkai energy."

"Compared to Sakura's body, your body seems more suitable for me to use!"

Realizing that the enemy in front of him was not someone he could easily defeat, Himeko released a massive amount of Honkai energy with a cold smile.

"You're no match for my power..."

Let's fall for Sakura together!

"Ah, I think I understand the situation."

Upon seeing the dark Honkai energy surrounding Himeko, Kouyu immediately gathered the Honkai energy onto the Knight's Emblem on his right hand.

"If you want a different battlefield, then come on over."

The next second, the Honkai energy emanating from Himeko infected the entire battlefield.

In Kiana's and the others' view, both the cherry-haired shrine maiden and the newly transformed Kouyu stood quietly on the ground like statues.

PS1: First of all, I apologize. Today I was even more stuck than yesterday. I only figured out how to write the next 10,000 words after organizing the timeline.

PS2: But I'll still shamelessly ask for votes! 13/26

PS: I'd like to say a few words about some of yesterday's plot points and some of the plot points from a few days ago [principal's opening ceremony face].

[Long post warning! Frequent rambling warning! Skip if you don't want to read.]

[Also, this chapter's word count is the normal update count. The rest... is because I can't upload the PS. When will the 500-word limit for PSs be removed...?]

First, let's talk about Kiana's craving for the belt...

Didn't we talk about this before?

But I don't know why some readers still find it strange and uncomfortable. Where exactly did I show that the belt would end up in someone else's hands...?

First, let me explain the setting: the belt is bound to the stigmata, and no one else can use it; you can't even pull it off.

[Warning: Major Heisei Rider Spoiler Alert! Those who don't want to see this, please be aware!]

Those who are paying attention to this point are probably all fans of Kamen Rider. So, think about it: what would it be like if a knight handed his belt to someone else?

Let's take a few examples from the last decade.

Rick Kuuga → Godai Kuuga. Rick was tricked to death by the archaeological team and did not wake up. Daguba took off the belt, which was taken by Godai.

Makoto Hikawa's G3 form transforms into Toru Hojo's G3 form. Toru Hojo threatens his superiors at the Metropolitan Police Department, causing Makoto to lose his G3 transformation ability.

Akiyama Ren's Night Rider → Kido Shinji's Night Rider. The former died in battle to protect the latter, and Akiyama Ren asked Kido Shinji to continue fighting in his place before entrusting the card box to him.

Takumi Inui (Faiz) → Yuji Kiba (Faiz): Takumi Inui temporarily abandons the fight and entrusts his belt to his reliable friend, Yuji Kiba.

Takumi Inui Faiz → Masato Kusaka Faiz: the former was ambushed and fell unconscious, while the latter took the belt.

Kusaka Masato (Kaixa) → Kiba Yuji (Kaixa), the latter ganged up on the former, killed him, and stole his belt.

Kamishiro Mutsuki's Scepter → Kiryu Gou's Scepter, the latter stealing the former's transformation device.

Yaguruma Sou THEBEE → Kagami Shin THEBEE, the former ignoring his teammates' loss of transformation eligibility.

Based on these situations, the circumstances under which a belt changes owners are basically as follows.

The original owner died in battle, the original owner was ambushed by others and lost the ability to transform, the original owner gave up the battle and abandoned the belt, the original owner's transformation device was directly stolen, and the original owner had cat cakes but could not transform.

Replace it here, and it becomes: Gu Yu dies in battle, Gu Yu is ambushed and loses his transformation ability, Gu Yu gives up the fight, Gu Yu's belt is stolen, and Gu Yu has a cat cake but can't transform.

Hmm... let's combine this with the next point.

I apologize for not handling yesterday's scene well.

However, let's think carefully about Yuno's character design.

He nearly succumbed to depravity during a massive catastrophe, but was rescued to find his family wiped out and his hometown destroyed. He also discovered that his body possessed extraordinary talents due to Honkai energy invasion...

Just swap the genders, put it in the knight world, and if your values ​​aren't completely warped... you know what I mean.jpg

If you don't understand, I'll tell you a few names and you'll understand.

Kazami Shiro

Teruji Ryu

Fuwa Isamu

If I were to use this character to backstab the protagonist, it would undoubtedly be poisoning. Do I look like such a fool?

It does seem... kind of similar?

Damn, then I need to explain this even more.

It must be mentioned here that although novels (fan fiction), film and television works (tokusatsu dramas), and game scripts (Honkai Impact 3rd storylines) are all storylines, they are vastly different due to the medium they are presented in.

Why do you say that?

Even if the plot of a Kamen Rider anime is bad, at least the actors' acting skills are watchable, the actors' designs are watchable, the Rider suits are watchable, and the battles and special effects are watchable.

Even if Honkai Impact 3rd has problems with its storyline, the character models and art design can still salvage the situation.

Even if something goes wrong with the plot, these two mediums are not entirely without merit.

That's why some people criticize Zi-O while buying the belt, and criticize the Honkai Impact 3rd writers while continuing to spend money on in-game purchases.

It's not that these fellow enthusiasts are idiots, but rather that even without a storyline, these things still have something worth consuming.

But online novels are different, my friends. Online novels only have text. If the plot explodes, then it really means nothing.

In this scenario, I wrote that the protagonist dies in battle, is ambushed and loses his Rider Belt, becomes so disheartened that he gives up fighting, his belt is stolen, and he can't transform because he has a cat-shaped item...

Online novels operate on an instant payment system. If I dared to use such potent poison, you would definitely run away on the spot. I'm confident in that.

Writing online novels is like walking a tightrope for someone who's not skilled at it. And if people are yelling and making noise about things that will never happen...

Um, I really have no way to deal with this if you guys want me to do it this way.

PS3: In response to questions about why the sound effects are labeled "KamenRide" instead of "Kamen Rider"...

Enough said, here are the pictures.

The MASKED Rider in the picture is the name of the Kamen Rider from the old decade. Starting from the new decade, this English name has been changed to Kamen Rider, followed by the Rider's name, Decade.

The card name is [KamenRide], which is underlined in black below. I think those who have heard of the sound effects will understand.

Chapter Twenty-Seven. Keep Pretending, Keep Pretending.

As her consciousness awoke from the darkness, Gu Yu immediately sprang up, leaping off the tatami mat.

"Phew, although I don't know how much time has passed, but..."

He immediately looked at Gu Yu's right hand and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"—Looks like I won the bet."

On the back of Gu Yu's right hand, the Imperial Knight Crest, though less clear, still retained its power.

"If the fighting power is still there, then things will be easier to handle later."

Looking at the ancient village-like environment around him, Gu Yu knew that he had entered Yae Sakura's inner world.

In the original work, Theresa obtained the Stigmata created by the core of Yae Sakura's Herrscher, which led to her being pulled into Yae Sakura's inner world by Himeko.

Five hundred years ago, Yae Sakura, the shrine maiden of Yae Village, closed herself off due to her past experiences.

In the days that followed, Yae Sakura was imprisoned in Yae Village along with Higomaru because of Higomaru's misdeeds.

Even after five hundred years, there is absolutely no sign of the Herrscher of Corruption, Himeko, and Yae Sakura, who coexists with it, disappearing.

According to the original work, Yae Sakura should have suppressed Hiyomaru, which meant that Hiyomaru could only use the Herrscher Core Stigmata given by Yae Sakura to plot against Theresa.

But now that Hishimaru has suppressed Yae Sakura's consciousness, Gu Yu is a little confused.

This stinky fox used to be afraid of even a pseudo-Herrscher like Yuno, so why does it dare to be so bold as to approach several Herrschers now?

Something's not right, this is really not right.

Gu Yu, flexing her wrists, looked out the window at the scenery.

Outside the window, the blazing sun, high in the sky, casts an intensely blinding light.

The land in front of Gu Yu was extremely dry, showing no trace of moisture whatsoever.

"Yes, the simulation is indeed very good, even the weather is recorded perfectly."

After checking the weather, Gu Yu walked towards the room that was making a lot of noise.
