Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

Kino released him and faced him earnestly: "Are you sure?"

Eiji stubbornly declared, "That's right! I know, you're not my father at all!"

Kino sighed regretfully, "So you're not one of my kids. Well then, you'll have to deal with these demonic followers yourself. I believe you can do it."

clack clack...

Familiar rustling sounds came from all around.

Hidetoshi's face stiffened: "..."

……

Several more demonic followers came running after hearing the commotion; their dark, hunched figures were particularly terrifying in the dense forest.

Although Kino wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the ancient DGP, the appearance of the Demon Disciple meant that a match was currently underway.

DGP races all have designated venues.

Participants will only be present at the venue.

Thinking this, Kino picked up the child who was still in a dilemma, stopped entangled with the soldiers and demons, and ran towards the direction from which the commotion was coming.

Hidetoshi wisely refrained from struggling.

After passing through the dense forest, a clearing ahead was filled with the sounds of loud human shouts and explosions that shouldn't happen in this era.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"It went to your side!"

"careful!"

Upon hearing this almost roared sentence, Kino suddenly emerged from behind the tree and saw several ancient people dressed in samurai attire attacking a demon thug with muskets provided by DGP and designed to fit the world's lore.

That demonic disciple was different from the soldier demonic disciples; the other party had already acquired a complex, monstrous form, with obvious plant-like features on his body, making him look like a vine monster.

—Chariot Demons!

This must be the boss of this match.

However, contrary to Kino's expectations, the contestants from the ancient times did not transform into Kamen Rider forms, but instead directly participated in the battle wielding high-tech weapons distributed by DGP.

Using this method to fight monsters, the mortality rate for participants in the Ancient DGP would definitely be very high.

"Stay here."

Kino placed Hidetoshi on the ground, then put on the Sengoku Driver and leaped out, the melon-locking seed that automatically appeared in his hand activating instantly.

Melon—Lock On!

"Soiya!" 』

Melon Arms!

Unrivaled in the world!

The melon armor that fell from the sky spilled juice all over the ground. Kino quickly drew his Musou sword and, to the astonishment of a group of ancient people, slashed straight at the chariot demon in front of him!

"boom!"

The chariot demon was slashed away with a single blow, and Kino immediately pressed his advantage, unleashing another combo before it could react!

The evil demons who swaggered around in the ancient arena had never suffered such humiliation. Apart from the God of Desire who won the first game, few participants in ancient times were able to fight all the way to the end.

The unparalleled military knife's killing spree stunned all the contestants present. Ying Shou, who was hiding behind a tree, stared wide-eyed at this scene. He had always had a mature and weathered air about him that was beyond his years, but at this moment, he finally showed some childlike innocence.

When the Chariot Demon finally realized something was wrong, it hurriedly swung out the plant tentacles on its right arm to retaliate. However, Kino simply turned slightly to the side, gripped the Musou Saber in his backhand, and swept past it from the side!

"boom!"

Intense sparks flew, and the chariot demon, struck in the waist, screamed again and fell to the ground.

Kino took this opportunity to cut off the handle of the driver.

Melon Squash!

The golden-green melon energy was released, and the white knight leaped into the air. His peerless saber was wrapped in dazzling energy light, and he slashed down heavily as he fell!

"boom!"

The chariot demon, split in two by the golden light, stiffened before exploding into flames in the burst of energy!

Kino looked back at the center of the explosion. At that moment, several gear-shifting vehicles flew out of the void, and "Flame Warrior" and "Road Winter" rushed to extinguish the last bit of flame.

Starting fires is prohibited in the forest!

Kino seemed to hear the Flame Warrior's protest.

He smiled, raised his hand and took out the Lock Seed, and his armor and belt turned into light particles and disappeared.

Then the scene of the battle slowly shrunk onto an electronic screen.

……

DGP operating space.

A mysterious figure, cloaked in scarlet and wearing a silver mask, watched the live broadcast. He pointed to zoom in on the screen, but when his gaze fell on the boy's waist, the belt had vanished.

What is this?

The mysterious man spoke in a somber tone.

Then several more mysterious people, also wearing red cloaks, came over and gathered together to watch the Kamen Rider Zangetsu video repeatedly.

"He is not a participant in this Desire Grand Prix; he is an outsider who suddenly appeared in the competition area."

"Future people?"

"His identity is still uncertain, but the way he transformed just now was quite interesting."

"Our show isn't very well-known yet. Even if the enemy is a demon, ancient people's melee combat is completely boring!"

"Since that's the case, and the power of the Goddess of Creation has stabilized, I think it's time to inject some interesting elements into this game."

"Should we invite this person to participate in the next Desire Grand Prix?"

……

……

What is that?

Hidetoshi asked Kino with curiosity, even a hint of eagerness.

Kino showed him the transformation items: "This is a fruit from another world, you can use it to transform into a Kamen Rider. This is a gear-shifting vehicle, you can also use it to transform into a Kamen Rider."

"Kamen Rider?" Hidetoshi was taken aback.

"That's right, Kamen Riders are warriors who fight for the freedom and future of humanity and will never give up easily."

"Kamen Rider..."

Eiju touched the Lock Seed placed in his hand without speaking for a long time, but his fingers gradually tightened, and his constantly shifting eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

Although he is only nine years old and has grown up alone, perhaps because he was born out of a miracle, his intelligence far surpasses that of his peers.

In short, Kino immediately sensed that this kid had a fox's tail behind him when he saw him like this!

"Yingshou——"

Kino decisively interrupted the little fox's thoughts.

The child instinctively looked up at him.

Then, with a look of deep thought, a touch of heaviness, a hint of sadness, and a dash of sincerity, Kino said, “Actually, I know who your mother is, where she went, and I know that you have been looking for her all along.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Shou's eyes widened suddenly, and she grabbed his arm urgently, asking, "Really? Where is my mother now? Please take me to see her!"

Ying Shou started looking for his mother as soon as he could crawl.

Nine years! Nobody knows how he's managed to get through these nine years!

Kino said meaningfully, "Your mother has been imprisoned by an evil force. The only way to see her is to become a Kamen Rider."

"Who arrested Mom? Why would they do such a thing?" Eiji asked, looking utterly bewildered.

"Because they want to use your mother's power to fulfill their wishes, to make the world what they want it to be, and then attract more people to join them. Their power is very strong, so it will be very difficult to rescue your mother," Kino said patiently.

—DGP is the root of all evil, and those reckless future humans are the source of all tragedy.

Although DGP created the Kamen Riders of this world with the power of the Goddess of Creation, DGP is also the greatest enemy of the Kamen Riders!

Kino does not pursue the Grand Prix of Desire.

Everything he wants, he earned himself!

So Kino solemnly instilled in the little fox in front of him: "Hidetoshi, you must remember that true happiness can only be obtained by your own hands!"

All of his Kamen Riders were created by these hands!

Eiju's eyes widened slightly as he recalled his mother's words on the day she left him: "Forget me, so you can be happy."

He simply cannot forget.

Therefore, he was unable to obtain true happiness.

If he wants happiness, he must rescue his mother with his own two hands!

Hidetoshi suddenly gripped his weapon tightly: "If I become a Kamen Rider, will I also have the same power as you, and then bring my mother back?"

"No." However, Kino immediately refuted this.

"..."

Eiju stared at him blankly.

Kino smiled kindly, "Because I only know how to teach my own kids to become Kamen Riders."

Yingshou: "..."

……

Chapter 72 Victory! Immediately Set Off!

night.

A campfire burned in the open space.

In this era, nations had not yet emerged, and human civilization still relied on tribal groups for survival.

Although Ukiyo Hidetoshi was born without parents, he survived thanks to the relief provided by the tribe that Mitzmey left him in.

The way DGP operated in ancient times is still based on tribes as a game group.

This time, they just happened to choose the tribe where Ying Shou lived.

"Before this, some tribes won the competition and wished for abundant food and safe shelter, which were granted by the mysterious person."

"Therefore, many people now hope to participate in the Desire Grand Prix."

"But there are also some people who wish..."

Young Eiju lowered his voice and said, "They weren't doing it for survival, but for desire, so they made a wish to invade other tribes."

Fortunately, people are still quite conservative and haven't made any direct wishes about unifying the world. However, this balance is about to be broken as the testing intensifies.

After all, human desires are endless. After discovering that DGP could truly fulfill those unattainable wishes without limits, more and more crazy ideas began to sprout in the minds of these ancient people.

Ying Shou's tribe was the same tribe where the first "God of Desire" resided. At that time, his wish was for everyone to have a peaceful and happy life.

Whether he is happy or not is unknown, but the tribe did enjoy a period of peace. However, with the expansion of DGP, many people are no longer content with this peaceful life.

Please!

So the tribal chief knelt down in front of Kino, and all his subordinates behind him knelt down as well.

The chieftain pleaded loudly, "Your strength is immense; you will surely win this competition! These monsters are becoming increasingly difficult to defeat. Without your power, the tribe's warriors will surely perish in the end!"

Kino glanced at the tribal warriors who had already been sentenced to death by the chief.

The Desire Grand Prix is ​​a task-based game, much like a level-based game, where a monster designated as the "final boss" will appear at the end of the game.

The daytime chariot demons were already difficult for them to deal with, and there was a possibility of total annihilation when they entered the final BOSS battle.
