Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

Are you suggesting they sacrifice themselves to benefit others?

impossible!

"We've fought this far to get what we deserve, and I can't just hand over victory!"

After saying this coldly, Daoist Azuma turned around and prepared to leave.

He had previously hindered Ukiyo Hidetoshi in order to prevent him from defeating the cactus demon first, so it was even more impossible for him to agree to this kind of cooperative operation now.

Sakurai Keikazu glanced at him anxiously, realizing he couldn't go against the man's wishes, and could only quickly look at Ukiyo Hidetoshi and Kurama Nene sitting opposite him on the sofa.

"What about you? Can you agree to this plan?"

"...I don't want to pave the way for others either."

After a moment of silence, Kurama Nene uttered these words in a low voice.

Sakurai Keikazu looked at her in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that the girl who had eaten and walked with them just two days ago would utter such cold words.

"I want to realize my dream through my own efforts and create the world I envision," Kurama Nene said calmly but resolutely.

She didn't look into Sakurai Keikazu's eyes, and after getting up with her head down, she also intended to leave.

"But this is also for the sake of protecting the world!"

Sakurai Keikazu shouted urgently.

If no one is willing to participate in the plan, the powerful giant cactus demon will be difficult to eliminate. The longer it drags on, the more likely this competition will end in a terrifying "no winner" scenario!

There are no victors; those captured by the cactus demons will all die...

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Sakurai Keikazu's spine, and he looked at Ukiyo Hidetoshi with his last hope.

"They didn't make the wrong choice."

Hidetoshi Ukiyo calmly said, "The Desire Grand Prix is, to put it bluntly, a place to fulfill one's desires. When there can only be one winner, not everyone is willing to fight for the benefit of others."

Sakurai Kagekazu found this statement hard to accept: "So you're saying that as long as you win, it doesn't matter if others die? You don't usually say that!"

Upon hearing this, Ukiyo Hidetoshi gave him a cryptic look, then changed his words.

"Because that's what you think too, isn't it? You say you're protecting the world, but all you want is for everyone to help you rescue your sister. As long as you can achieve that goal, you don't care about sacrificing the interests of others—so how are you any different from them?"

"I……"

Sakurai Keikazu was suddenly taken aback, seemingly surprised that even he himself hadn't expected his own feelings to be like this.

The hall fell completely silent.

Just as Sakurai Keikawa was lost in a daze, feeling bewildered and helpless, a voice suddenly rang out in front of him again.

Someone once said—

Upon hearing this familiar opening line, Sakurai Keikazu subconsciously looked up, only to find that Ukiyo Hidetoshi had already shoved his DGP battle suit into his hands.

Then, with a serious expression, he said to him, "True happiness can only be obtained through our own hands. If you want to realize your wishes, you have to grasp them with your own hands!"

“Hidetoshi…” Sakurai Kagekazu opened his mouth.

"So believe in your own power, you are Kamen Rider Taichi!" Ukiyo Hidetoshi said with a smirk.

"I understand!"

Sakurai Keikazu suddenly perked up in an instant.

If no one else is willing to carry out the plan to hold off the giant cactus demon, then he himself will act as the bait and create an opportunity for the others to defeat the demon.

That's also an option!

Although Sakurai Keikazu was seriously injured in the second round of battle while trying to protect his sister (but failed), he was still able to fight!

because--

"Everyone gets hurt in battle, but as long as Kamen Riders don't give up, they can always get back up, because their belief comes from the people they want to protect!"

Sakurai Keikazu, supporting his injured body, stood up and spoke these words almost simultaneously with Ukiyo Hidetoshi.

The two paused for a moment, then smiled at each other. Hidetoshi Ukiyo patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You really are a qualified Kamen Rider, Tatan!"

Having successfully fooled this guy again, he now had bait to deal with the giant cactus demon. Ukiyo Hidetoshi smiled.

And at the entrance to the DGP participants' lounge.

Looking at the harmonious scene in the hall, Kurama Nene and Azuma Michinaga couldn't help but exchange a glance, seemingly seeing the speechlessness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

It's that Kamen Rider declaration again. That idiot has definitely been fooled again!

However, having a proactive and quite aggressive bait is a good thing, as it allows them to act according to circumstances.

They were behind the screen in the hall at that moment.

Listening to the conversation outside, DGP's current game administrator, Kiroli, raised an eyebrow slightly, a strange smile appearing on his face.

That's right, this is the Kamen Rider he wanted to see!

……

Amidst the crisis posed by the giant cactus demon, Sakurai Keikawa, determined to fight on his own, simultaneously rallied all three sides.

After patting him on the shoulder, Ukiyo Hidetoshi suddenly noticed something and turned his head slightly to look in one direction.

Upon seeing a tiny, inconspicuous car emerging from the corner, Ukiyo Hidetoshi's expression turned serious as he said, "The demonic cult may be appearing soon. Let's set off now!"

Upon hearing this, Kiroli paused for a moment, then stepped out from behind the screen and said, "I don't think I've received any news yet."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi looked at him: "Waiting for you to give me the news is too slow! I have a lot of experience in competitions, and judging by that guy's evolution speed, it should be around this time."

Kiroli's expression was ambiguous.

"Is that so..."

But Ukiyo Hidetoshi ignored him and turned to walk away.

Seeing this, Sakurai Keikazu quickly put on his coat and followed. Kurama Nene also hurriedly followed. Meanwhile, Azuma Michon, who had been eavesdropping at the door, rushed ahead without being left behind, as if this would allow him to kill the demon thugs and achieve victory even faster!

Although he still did not know where the evil followers were.

But just follow Hidetoshi Ukiyo!

As soon as Hidetoshi Ukiyo stepped out of the DGP salon, he saw Michinaga Azuma waiting by the roadside with a nonchalant expression.

He didn't say much, looked up and saw an inconspicuous blue trail of flame streak across the sky. After confirming the direction, he headed straight there.

The giant cactus demon was hiding in a school!

When Hidetoshi Ukiyo and the others arrived, the teachers and students were screaming and running away as they were attacked by the vines of the giant plant.

Those who didn't escape were caught by the cactus flowers on the vines and dragged back to the giant plant. Then, their life force would transform into a stream of energy and fly into a giant jar on the ground.

"It's gathering energy!"

Sakurai Keikazu found his sister on that giant plant.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi frowned and said, "We must stop it as soon as possible; we can't let the demonic followers continue to evolve!"

The cactus demons are already tens of meters tall. We can still handle them at this stage, but if they continue to evolve, they will probably reach hundreds of meters!

"okay, I get it!"

Sakurai Keikazu nodded emphatically, took out his Desire Driver and Core ID, and put them on, preparing to attract the attention of the giant cactus demon as soon as possible.

Not far from him, Master Azuma also decisively took out his belt and transformed.

Kurama Nene was guiding the students who hadn't been caught yet to retreat when she turned around and saw sound effects coming from the other side, so she quickly took out her belt.

ENTRY!

Virtual mechanical armor appeared beside them, accompanied by their respective rider light effects, making a grand entrance for Kamen Riders of different colors!

—Kamen Rider Goku Fox!

—Kamen Rider Taichi!

—Kamen Rider Bull!

—Kamen Rider Nami!

These are the four Kamen Riders who survived to the end in this Grand Prix of Desire, and the final winner, "God of Desire," will be decided from among them in this round!

Just after they transformed, the giant cactus demon seemed to sense the danger, and immediately dozens of soldier demons responsible for capturing humans to provide it with nutrients ran out from the corner.

Extreme Fox raised his gun and looked at the giant plant standing behind the cactus demon.

Let's deal with that thing first!

As soon as Ba Niu transformed, he was entangled by several soldier demons. Na Mao looked around, then leaped over and drove away the soldier demons who were trying to capture him.

"Get out of here right now!"

After quickly saying a few words to the rescued students, Na Mao dealt with the surrounding soldiers and demons while taking a moment to glance at the situation on the decoy side.

At this moment, Tai Li had already bypassed the soldiers and demons and rushed towards the giant cactus demon, being chased and attacked by the opponent's spiked light bullets, while Ji Hu bypassed the teaching building and approached the giant plant on the playground.

But just as he was about to launch a sneak attack, a crescent-shaped slash suddenly flew from the sky, instantly severing the top of the giant plant's flower!

"boom!"

The sudden explosion immediately drew the attention of everyone below. The giant cactus demon, which was chasing Tai Li, paused for a moment before letting out a sharp bang!

Who is it?

Extreme Fox paused, then, realizing something, abruptly turned its head to look in the direction from which the attack came!

On the rooftop of the school's tallest building.

A majestic, emerald-green figure stands tall.

……

Chapter 82: People are in the Extreme Fox, but it's 2022!

My consciousness has become habitually drowsy yet clear.

The black and white colors before my eyes were also familiar.

Then Kino opened his eyes, looked at the clear blue sky and white clouds, and listened to the noisy commotion around him, feeling as if he didn't know what year it was.

He looked up in confusion and glanced around.

Nearby were tall, lush trees, and in the distance were towering steel and concrete structures. The bright sunlight shone on the skyscrapers of the modern city, and the glass curtain walls reflected a dazzling light that stung Kino's eyes.

He sat on the ground, dumbfounded, and looked down, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, before looking up again.

"No, where did you give it to me?"

Is this still the primitive era?!

Kino flipped through the "Kamen Rider Chronicle" again to confirm. This time, the Kamen Rider crest of the Giant Fox was colored, and the year mark at the bottom also appeared—2022!

Good news: This time you're dressed for the right era!

Bad news: They lied to the kids!

Kino immediately closed his eyes again.

I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.

Why didn't they send him to 2022 the first time? Also, when he traveled to the Kiva world, he first went to an era without any Kamen Riders and started from scratch. He was able to come out in the end because he actively approached IXA.

As Kino remained silent, the commotion in the distance grew increasingly intense, and he immediately sensed something was wrong and got up to walk over there.

This is a rooftop where you can see the playground and other teaching buildings not far away, as well as giant plants and giant cacti standing on the lawn.

Hmm? Another giant cactus demon?

Before transmigrating, he fought this evil cultist, and after transmigrating, the first strange person he saw was also this evil cultist. Kino was starting to wonder if he had a grudge against the cactus evil cultist in his past life.

And it's the familiar game of kicking the can.

A giant plant stands in the center of the school, where many soldiers and demons are capturing humans. Vines fall from the sky to snatch away those who try to escape.

In the modern era of 2022, after two thousand years of numerous competitions, the Desire Grand Prix has been operated quite well by DGP.

If things go as expected, live footage has been broadcast to the future viewers ever since the cactus demon appeared.

In other words, if he were to appear here, he would be watched live.
