Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

"What do you mean, 'you'?! You're so rude! Call me Dad!"

"..."

Ying Shou, who was hit precisely at the foot of the stone, jumped, then looked at him with surprise and ran over quickly through the charred gravel.

"How is it? Where is the enemy?" Eiju quickly came to his side.

"He left temporarily. I thought he would invite me to participate in the competition after testing my strength, but I didn't expect that I was wrong."

Kino sighed regretfully, then paused slightly as if remembering something, before turning to Eiji and asking, "How is the situation in the tribe?"

Hidetoshi said with a complicated expression, "Although the game is over, none of the participants have received the Desire Coin, which represents victory. They feel that it's in your hands, or that this mission has simply failed..."

"I don't have proof of winning, but I didn't expect that at this moment, I would still be concerned about winning." Kino sighed meaningfully.

"..."

Ying Shou silently lowered his head, his gaze then falling on the injuries on his body and the strange, scattering light spots on his palm, and he immediately tensed up again.

"You... Father, are you alright?"

"Do not worry."

Kino showed him the palm of his hand, which was flashing with data: "People from the future don't die in the past. Just wait for me to go back and refresh it."

Each time Kino travels to a new world, his body seems to be created out of thin air. Although he has flesh and blood, illness and pain like a real human being, he can always be wiped out like data when it comes to life and death.

It seemed as if everyone already sensed that he was about to travel through time. The Kamen Rider Chronicles appeared on its own, flipping through the pages and stopping on the cover.

The small square records three opportunities.

They came to this world just to rack up points, but ended up in an era two thousand years ago. Even with Kamen Rider Gokuko by their side every day, they couldn't rack up any points.

This gave Kino a bit of a headache.

After being ambushed by Gazer, I had to waste two more chances to refresh my body's status, and I never expected that I would end up back to the minimum score overnight.

Suddenly, a thought struck Kino.

Can he just refresh the page on the spot?

In other words, instead of going back and forth in the Drive world, you can directly travel through the Extreme Fox world again from the same spot, which will only consume one attempt!

You should definitely give it a try!

Even if we fail, there shouldn't be much loss.

Although he could simply leave this world and go to other worlds to play Kamen Rider, after thinking about this and looking at Ukiyo Hidetoshi, who was still in his "true childhood state," Kino felt that he could still give it a try.

He reached out and rubbed Ying Shou's head.

"So just wait for me here."

"really?"

Ying Shou lowered his head and remained silent for a while, his tense little face showing a hint of hesitation. Finally, he raised his head again and stared straight at him: "Father, will you really come back here?"

"What's wrong? It sounds like you really need me?" Kino asked with interest.

"Yes, I need you!"

Hidetoshi nodded heavily.

Kino gave him a thumbs-up with satisfaction: "Then trust me. Trust doesn't cost money!"

Yingshou: "."

……

Chapter 81 Someone once said—

After Kino consciously takes control, the time travel of Kamen Rider Chronicles seems to choose the world according to his will.

Now, with Kamen Rider Goku Fox on his mind, Kino tapped the cover and chose to time travel.

[Start Search].

The pages of the book in front of him turned, finally stopping on the page with the Knight's Crest of the Extreme Fox. Seeing this, Kino breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a secret delight at discovering a little trick.

Kino was completely relieved. Seeing that he hadn't immediately traveled through time, he smiled reassuringly at the somewhat bewildered nine-year-old child in front of him: "It won't be long. Maybe I'll be back in the next moment."

Eiji bit his lip and said, "I believe you! I want to believe you, but..."

He couldn't help but recall the scene of his separation from his mother. Although he was too young to remember at that time, he could never forget the image and voice of his mother leaving, so tender and affectionate, yet so resolute.

Perhaps it was because he had a premonition that he would never see his mother again that the sorrowful longing was deeply etched into his heart.

After that, he lived alone in this world.

Kino looked at the child and then handed him a gear-shifting vehicle.

"In that case, let's make this our promise. This is the most important thing I have as a Kamen Rider! So I will definitely come back for it!"

The gear-shifting vehicle given is not the Justice Hunter.

It's a surprise circus.

Hidetoshi recognized the gear-shifting battle machine that produced the magnificent stage when Kino transformed.

He couldn't help but think about what Kino meant by "most, most, most important," and it seemed he already knew what that "most important" meant...

Hidetoshi's emotions came to an abrupt halt: "

That is indeed very important...

Especially since this guy seemed quite reluctant to part with the amazing circus act, Eiji decisively took it!

Kino's body began to dissipate into specks of light, but he wore a relieved smile on his face. Then, he put two fingers together and made a gesture towards Hidetoshi in front of him.

"I will definitely come back~"

"Okay, I believe you!"

Ying Shou stared intently at him until the person in front of him completely disappeared and the surroundings became completely silent.

He stared blankly at the scorched earth before him.

After an unknown amount of time.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind. Ying Shou quickly turned around and saw the disheveled tribal chief running towards him.

"Well, Hidetoshi, has the honor of victory fallen on that Kamen Rider?" the tribal chief asked eagerly.

"..."

After a long silence, Eiji said, "No, because the Desire Grand Prix is ​​a complete scam. They never intended for us to win."

Because whether they win or lose is entirely determined by those people from the future, and the key to victory is also given by them, when they are unwilling to give, they get nothing.

The tribal chief said unhappily, "What are you still saying at a time like this? The village has been destroyed, and the only way for everyone to start a life again is through the Desire Grand Prix!"

Eiju stared at him: "But wasn't it the same person who destroyed the tribe just now from the Desire Grand Prix?"

"Stop saying those things!"

The tribal chief roared, "Who knows what that person's background is? The monsters known as 'evil followers' destroyed the tribe. The Desire Grand Prix was meant to help us save the world, and now only that thing can bring happiness to everyone!"

After staring into the leader's bloodshot eyes for a while, Eiji opened his mouth but said nothing more.

Because they themselves have no power.

Therefore, we can only rely on the power of DGP.

Looking at his appearance and then at the scorched earth in front of him that had almost destroyed half the forest, the tribal chief probably understood that there was no answer here.

He seemed to lose all his strength in an instant, unable to utter any words of reproach to a nine-year-old child. He simply sighed wearily and turned to walk back towards the tribe.

"Let's go back. Winter is coming soon, and we need to finish building the village as soon as possible."

Eiji did not respond, but simply gripped the Amazing Circus in his hand and stood silently in place.

Only when the figure ahead had disappeared at the edge of the dense forest, the last rays of sunset had faded on the horizon, and the whole world was about to fall into dead darkness, did he lift his foot and leave.

—That guy didn't come back after all.

……

This "Desire Grand Prix" was ultimately declared a failure, with no winners.

However, the power previously granted to the tribal warriors by DGP has not been taken back.

The tribe was rebuilt by the survivors, but compared to the anticipation and surprise when they were chosen by DGP, everyone became much more silent.

Then one day...

The mysterious man in red robes descended once again, like a god.

"A new Grand Prix of Desire has begun!"

……

……

The game administrators will select suitable participants.

Furthermore, the new Desire Grand Prix is ​​no longer a simple melee between ancient people. DGP will provide an item called "Desire Driver" and "Core ID". Once you obtain these two items, it means there is no turning back.

—Become a Kamen Rider and join the Desire Grand Prix, because you'll die if you don't fight!

However, the Desire Grand Prix is ​​not always available; DGP will only choose some interesting eras to launch the game.

In any case, DGP can travel through the "past time" at will, and the "people of the past" are just people who "have long since disappeared into the times" and do not exist at all to people of the future. The "past world" is a world created by them.

Because future humans can extract a segment of "history that has already occurred in reality" to form a sub-world, they can manipulate it at will in this extracted world, and any changes will have no impact on the "real timeline".

After the game ends, DGP can reset this subworld at any time and then continue to capture the next historical era as the game arena.

This is the 3.5-dimensional world theory!

……

Starting from the first year of the Common Era.

The reincarnated Hidetoshi Ukiyo has been chosen many times throughout history to participate in numerous "Grand Prix of Desire."

Getting selected by the game administrators is simple; all you need to do is have an outstanding track record in history!

Although the 3.5-dimensional world is formed from a segment of history spanning different eras, and in some ways it is more like a virtual world created by people from the future, Ukiyo Hidetoshi's memories have always existed.

He is not an NPC extracted from history; the people he met were all whole people with blood and feelings, and he has a life experience that is not yet over.

A life that began more than two thousand years ago—

As Hidetoshi Ukiyo twirled a Roman coin in his hand, lost in thought, he heard someone's weak yet stubborn voice.

"Everyone, I have an idea!"

He looked up in that direction.

Perhaps because we have entered a modern society that is closer to the future, there are many selected contestants on this stage of the times, and the Desire Grand Prix has been held many times.

But after several rounds of elimination, only four Kamen Riders remained in the final round.

To make matters worse, the final boss of this grand prize of desire will be an invincible giant cactus demon that has undergone three evolutions!

The reason the opponent was able to evolve three times was mainly because the four Kamen Riders lost two rounds in a row...

In the second game, Hidetoshi Ukiyo was confident of taking down the giant cactus demon, but he was thwarted by another Kamen Rider along the way.

So the four, having suffered another defeat, slunk back to DGP, leaving the cactus demon, who had disappeared somewhere, to use the life energy of the humans it had absorbed to undergo its third evolution.

At this very moment, one of the four, "Kamen Rider Tatanuki"—Kagekazu Sakurai—is eager to get rid of that cactus demon as soon as possible!

Because his sister was taken away to be used as fuel...

But he is currently injured, so he can only try to persuade the other three to fight alongside him.

"I refuse!"

Master Wuqi was the first to refuse.

The so-called cooperative combat is nothing more than having yourself attract the monster's attention and then creating an opportunity for others to defeat the final BOSS.

While doing so may eliminate the evil followers, it also means handing over the opportunity to achieve victory and fulfill one's wishes to others!

However, those who participate in this game generally have their own wishes that they want to fulfill.
