Dragon Knight World

Under the astonished gaze of the Gaorangers and Tetomu, Innocent continued:

"At that time, the sixth warrior's three Power Animals could not yet combine into one. Therefore, he targeted the Black Wolf Mask that the Gao priestesses had protected for generations. That was the only solution at the time."

"Black Wolf Mask?"

The five looked suspiciously at Tetomu, who also shook her head in confusion.

"The Black Wolf Mask is an item that can attract evil energy. That sixth warrior borrowed evil energy to strengthen the Power Animals, successfully combining into Gao Hunter and defeating Hyakkimaru. What happened after that, you've just seen: the Black Wolf Mask and Rouki were both sealed. It's no wonder Tetomu doesn't know. This is all the information I have."

Everyone once again looked at Tetomu.

"Tetomu, do you know any way for Rouki to recover?"

Tetomu thought for a moment, then sadly said:

"I'm afraid it's a cursing ritual performed by Rouki himself. If only we knew what ritual it was!"

At this point, Tetomu looked at Innocent expectantly.

Innocent could only shake his head helplessly.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a familiar voice rang out.

"Based on the records in this book, Rouki from a thousand years ago..."

"Woz!"

Just hearing this familiar opening line, everyone guessed who had arrived.

Gao Red was about to rush forward to question him about Hong Gui and Wang She, but Gao Blue fortunately held him back.

"Calm down, Red, let him finish talking!"

Woz discreetly glanced at Innocent, then opened his mouth:

"That's right, Gao Red, if it weren't for His Majesty the Demon King's command, I wouldn't even bother explaining to you."

Hmph! How dare you question me; His Majesty the Demon King has never treated me this way.

"Rouki from a thousand years ago poured the evil energy clinging to the wolf mask into a Gao Orb, then used three Power Animals as intermediaries to transfer it into his body. That was his ritual."

Woz revealed the information he knew.

After hearing Woz speak, Tetomu still paced back and forth, muttering:

"A solution, there must be a solution..."

At this moment, Gao Red finally managed to ask his question.

"Woz, please tell me, is Hong Gui really a Kamen Rider?"

"That's right, in Hong Gui's world, humans gain demon power through self-training, forming organizations and fighting demonic beings called Makamou."

"Then why did he...?"

Before Gao Red could finish his question, Woz continued to explain:

"The day he unsealed Rouki was actually just a little earlier than Ura, so even if he didn't do it, Ura would have. It was better to disguise himself as an Org and actively approach Rouki, learn the secrets on Rouki's body, and at the same time help him recover his memories, while also secretly monitoring Ura. Most importantly, Lord Demon King believes that a brave warrior who has sacrificed so much should not be forever imprisoned in darkness. It's better to solve the problem once and for all, one effort for a lifetime of ease!"

The last sentence made the Gaorangers nod. After learning about Rouki’s situation, they also wanted to help him.

"That's right, Ura said Hong Gui was destroyed by him!"

Gao Black said worriedly.

"Hmph! How could that be? Lord Demon King has always been watching over him. Rest assured, Hong Gui has returned to his own world."

Woz showed that Lord Demon King was the most powerful, accepting no refutation.

Then, he maliciously added another sentence.

"That's right, he asked me to convey that everything said during that battle was true; you still need a lot more training!"

The Gaorangers immediately recalled Hong Gui’s comments during their beating that day, their faces flushing red; it was quite embarrassing.

"What about Wang She? He killed Hai Yao and Jian Jia! Was he also sent by the Time King?"

Gao Red truly had no good feelings for this Kamen Rider.

Woz pondered for a moment, about to speak, when he suddenly froze, then smiled and said:

"Let him answer that question himself."

Woz pointed to Gao Red’s small TV, and a man stepped out from within.

"Who is this?"

The Gaorangers looked at the man suspiciously; they had never met him before.

"It's me."

The young man spoke calmly. The Gaorangers heard his voice, and their bodies trembled!

"You're Hai Yao!"

They couldn't mistake the voice of this Rider who had appeared many times.

The five immediately rushed forward, surrounding Tezuka Miyuki, touching him all over.

"Isn't this a living, breathing person? Wang She really did lie to us!"

Actually, this was Innocent’s temporary idea before entering the Gao cave: it was most suitable for Tezuka Miyuki to tell them about Ryuki’s world.

That’s why Woz had just received the notification.

Incidentally, Tezuka Miyuki’s appearance was because Innocent had summoned Asakura Takeshi’s clone back.

This also showed that Innocent was severely lacking clones!

In fact, whether it was Knight’s readable illusions or Ex-Aid’s game item clones, Innocent had tried them all.

But clones that vanished after attacking or merely mimicked the original’s movements seemed to be judged as illusions by the system.

Like the difference between Clone Jutsu and Shadow Clone in Naruto, the difference between illusion and reality.

Innocent guessed the most basic requirement was that the clone must be able to continue using the original’s other powers.

Therefore, the RideWatch Innocent coveted most right now was the RideWatch OOO.

The topic returned to Tezuka Miyuki’s clone.

"No, I was indeed killed by Asakura Takeshi, who is Wang She. Of course, Jian Jia was also killed, as were other Riders."

Tezuka Miyuki’s voice was incredibly calm, as if the deceased wasn’t himself.

"Why? Aren't you all Kamen Riders?"

Tezuka Miyuki spoke with a reminiscent look:

"In our world, Riders don't fight for justice. Even our comrades, the Mirror Beasts, are man-eating monsters. After forming contracts with us, they constantly want to devour us. So, to feed them, we can only continuously kill other Mirror Beasts. Some people, to make their Mirror Beasts stronger, even ignore them attacking humans."

Just listening to Tezuka Miyuki’s account, the Gaorangers could feel the cruelty within it, even Tetomu was drawn in.

They were warriors chosen by Earth’s spirits of justice, while the Riders were comrades of man-eating monsters; the two sides were truly worlds apart.

"Why do Riders have to fight each other? Once you have power, you should use it to protect people."

"Because the last survivor can have one wish granted."

This statement once again shocked the Gaorangers; having one wish granted, very few people could refuse such a temptation.

Tezuka Miyuki paused for a moment, giving everyone time to process, then continued:

"The original Rider, Odin, discovered the Mirror World and created the Card Decks and belts. To save his sister Yui, he distributed Card Decks to people with different goals, and let them fight each other. Many Riders, more than once, fought and killed each other for their own selfish desires."

"Was there no one to stop all of this?"

Gao Red’s kindness made him firmly believe that someone would definitely stand up; if he were in that world, he would also stand up to stop it.
