I found a belt in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Perhaps no memory is needed at all; the cross standing at the highest point is the best signpost.

[The church, hurry, hopefully we can make it...]

Perhaps it's inappropriate for me to say this now, but Mo Zai, even if you went, what could you possibly do?

[The important thing is what you want to do! Not what you can do!] Mo Mo gritted her teeth, accelerating her pace. [You should know that.]

【...】

We're getting closer; the magnificent church is right in front of us.

Then just do what you want.

Of course!

Upon entering the church, a scene of utter devastation greeted the eye. The exquisitely carved walls were riddled with jagged cracks. Warm sunlight still streamed through the open windows, slanting into the scarred and cracked floor.

The once sacred and solemn place has now become a battlefield where people fight each other, and even the omnipotent gods cannot protect it.

A golden cross bearing the Kaslana family crest was stuck diagonally into the ground, and thirteen long spears linked by golden chains were scattered around.

Beside it, a monster, entirely white and resembling a giant spider, occupied most of the field of vision. A purple glow emanated a dangerous aura, with only the upper half, resembling a woman's, offering a glimpse of its true nature.

One claw was raised high, and in the shadow, a figure that seemed unable to move leaned against the ravine.

The performance has finally come to its final chapter.

【Mo Zai!】

【knew!】

Mo Mo leaped into the air and kicked out at the enormous monster.

"Boom!"

The kick landed on a body that was incredibly hard, unlike any living thing, leaving not even a mark.

But the sudden, violent impact caused the monster's attack to temporarily cease, and its seemingly bulky body shifted slightly to the side.

[Ugh, so hard!]

Feeling the intense pain from the recoil, Mo Mo frowned and landed on the ground.

"Momo?" Karen almost didn't recognize the figure standing in the sunlight.

"Phew, I almost missed it." Mo Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief and reached out his hand to Karen, who was lying in the ditch. "Miss Karen, are you alright?"

"I didn't... behind!"

The wind seemed to be tearing through the air, howling behind us.

"Puwa!!!"

Mo Mo, who took the hit head-on, was sent flying backward along with Karen, crashing to the ground.

Karen, who was the first to get up, shook Momo beside her, "Momo! Momo!"

"I...I can still hold them off..." Swallowing the metallic taste in his throat, Mo Mo felt like his whole body was about to fall apart, even though he hadn't been killed in one move. "After all, it wasn't me who blocked this..."

It still hurts terribly.

"Huh?" The silvery-white object around Mo Mo's waist caught Karen's attention.

【You son of a bitch, I can't handle this! Ouch—it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, ahhhhhh! Damn it!】 The distorted voice of the system kept bombarding Mo Mo's mind.

[It's better than being cut in half!]

[Hiss~ There can't be a next time! Did you hear me!]

"It doesn't seem to intend to let us go." Mo Mo looked at the Honkai Beast that had turned around in the distance and struggled to get up.

"Momo, are you an idiot?!" Karen yelled at Momo. "It's dangerous here! Get out of here right now!"

"Miss Karen, aren't you here too?"

“I…” Kallen answered without hesitation, her eyes gleaming, “Because Kaslana is the shield of the people, of course I must fight on the front lines! I must fulfill my responsibility to protect! But you are different!”

"Even if you can't stand up now?" Mo Mo stood up shakily and stood in front of Karen.

[System, this time the opponent is someone whose tricks won't work...]

【...】

【system.】

【Ahhh, I get it! Say everything you want to say! Leave the rest to me!】

“Miss Karen, your dream is a great thing. You always look ahead, always fight on the front line, always think about saving others, and never stop even if it is just a drop in the ocean. You are willing to give your own life. It is truly dazzling.” Mo Mo said, panting and suppressing the cries of pain in his body.

"..."

“My dad once said: The greatness of the sun lies in its ability to shine even when it turns to dust. To me, Ms. Karen, you are just that kind of person—dazzling, radiant, and inspiring.”

"Momo..." With a complicated expression, Karen looked up at Momo's back and his right hand pointing to the sky, and whispered the name that belonged only to her.

"Holding onto a dream, though sometimes it can be melancholic, can also be exhilarating. Miss Kallen, you should understand, right?" Meeting the Honkai Beast's gaze, Mo Mo steadied himself, his voice resolute, "I don't have my own dreams, but I can try to protect the dreams of others! Perhaps you think this is presumptuous, but..."

【You've passed the test, Mo Zai. I don't need to tell you what to do next, right?】

【certainly.】

“Miss Karen, although it may seem shameless, I will protect your dream this time.”

Under the dazzling sunlight, Mo Mo's fingers had somehow slipped together to hold a card.

"Of course, Eleanor, you too!"

The Honkai Beast's eyes narrowed, and it uttered a few syllables from its slightly open mouth.

It was as if they were asking a question.

Who exactly are you?

It can be understood intuitively, without needing to be explained in words.

"Me?" Mo Mo smiled faintly, took a deep breath, "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by, remember that!"

Mo Mo pulled out the driver from his waist, inserted the card, and clasped his hands together.

"henshin!!!"

Accompanied by these powerful words, the belt also responded.

"Error!!!"

"Error!!!"

The clear and loud electronic sound stirred up waves of sound in the solemn church.

[System! What are you doing, System?!]

"Error!!!"

The familiar voice that had echoed in my mind countless times now sounded devoid of emotion.

[Wow, don't mess with me! I don't want to turn into sand! Besides, you're not the Kaiser Driver!]

Standing frozen in place, Mo Mo frantically called for the system's response in his mind.

"error!!!error!!!error!!!"

Not only did it not respond to Mo Mo's calls, the system's error message actually sped up.

"@＃@＃￥%%＃%……%￥＃"

Ultimately, it became a whole string of syllables with no logic whatsoever.

[What a rip-off!]

Mo Mo angrily slapped the silver-white driver at his waist, then looked up at the Honkai Beast not far away.

On the humanoid half-body, the empty eye sockets that were completely devoid of any human emotion suddenly flashed with a dangerous red light.

A purple orb of light gradually condensed in front of the Honkai Beast's chest, shooting out a blazing beam of light.

"!!!"

"Momo!"

I can't run away, there are people behind me I promised to protect... so I absolutely can't run away!

Even though he knew it was futile, Mo Mo still used his hands to protect himself.

You've really ruined my life this time!

[Beep beep beep... That's not necessarily true!]

"Kamen Ride"

“Kallen”.

"boom!"

The beam of light that struck the target triggered an explosion, sending debris flying in all directions amidst the billowing smoke.

"Mo..." Karen swallowed the unfinished syllables. The not-so-strong figure in the smoke still stood in front of her, unyielding.

"Goo?" The Honkai Beast tilted its head, everything happening before its eyes was completely beyond its comprehension.

The iris dress embroidered with purple flowers looked brand new, and a strand of silver hair tied into a long braid remained untouched by dust even in the swirling smog.

Beneath the purple mask was a flippant smile.

"Where humanity gathers, darkness will be born; where darkness breeds, evil will spring up, delivering in the shadows the wicked that Heaven has no time to punish..."

The familiar figure and voice echoed in her ears, causing Karen to freeze in surprise.

"The purple kite soaring through the night sky, the phantom thief spreading justice, here I come!"

"Huh?!"

Karen was completely stunned.
