I'm really not Kamen Rider

"What should we do?"

Faced with Gaigai's questioning, Tiandao did not refute, but showed his attitude with practical actions.

"For the current Knight Universe, the things in the past are just the past. There will be no traces left in the new universe. Even if you are the one who opened up this new universe, you cannot do such things without authorization." Gaigai paced back and forth, speaking word by word.

"But if you really insist, this world will obey your wishes and give birth to those people you know."

"But do you think...are those people your partners in your memory, or are they...false things created by this world to cater to you?"

As the only remaining mystery still present, Gaigai also took on the role of clearing up Tiandao's doubts, otherwise, he would definitely not know some hidden things.

If he went the wrong way because of the intelligence, it would almost cause irreparable serious consequences for the power he possessed.

"So you have to create another world." Gaigai pointed to his head: "Use everything in your mind."

"Those memories you have experienced and fought in Kamen Rider, create them, and then integrate them into the new universe, so that the story of Kamen Rider will start again."

"The Hongo Takeshi you know will once again embark on the path of existing as Kamen Rider-One."

"...I don't want Uncle Hongo to become Kamen Rider One again." After a moment of silence, Tiandao spoke.

"For Uncle Hongo, being transformed into such a half-human and half-ghost posture, and then becoming a Kamen Rider to fight, that kind of life is actually not what he wants."

The so-called Showa Knights are a group of pathetic people who have to wear masks because of helplessness, hide their tears, and show the side of the resolute hero to outsiders.

The Showa Knights are not proud of this.

"That's true." Gaigai did not deny it, but nodded and acknowledged Tiandao's statement.

"But that was the beginning of Kamen Rider, the source of everything." Gaigai changed his form, this time, he turned into the red Kamen Rider No. 1.

"If you don't respect this history, what you want to save will never be achieved."

Red No. 1 clenched his fists, and Gaigai pretended to be serious.

"You want to achieve a perfect ending without sacrificing anything, where everyone can get what they want... Tiandao, you are really greedy."

Greedy? Tiandao may also feel that he is greedy, but if not greedy, what is the purpose of his struggle?

"I mean, can I replace Hongo Takeshi and become Kamen Rider No. 1?" After thinking for a while, Tiandao found a compromise.

Because he once carried the history of the Showa Rider, Tiandao naturally said this.

This is the best solution he can think of.

... Gaigai's face showed an unexpected expression, but his figure also changed in an instant.

This time, he turned into a mysterious man wearing a red kimono, tapping on wooden clogs, and wearing a white mask on his face.

On the mask, a huge bright red word [中] appeared in front of Tiandao.

As bright as blood!

"I knew you would do this." Gai Gai patted Tiandao on the shoulder: "But in this way, you will let one of you in the infinite world bear such a tragic fate."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Becoming a Showa Knight is by no means something to be praised. Such a life is destined to be lonely.

"I don't need the me in other worlds to become Kamen Rider No. 1." Tiandao took a deep breath: "Although that is also me, the me in different worlds has its own destiny, and I have no right to interfere."

"I mean..."

As he said this, Tiandao pulled from his body, and a mind-energy clone immediately separated from Tiandao's body.

From an illusory shadow, it became a real existence.

"Don't forget, clones are my specialty." Listening to someone's confident words, and seeing two identical Tiandao in front of him making the same movements, Gai Gai laughed out loud, feeling very good.

"Sure enough! You really look like your father!"

After sighing, Gai Gai got back to the topic and spoke again. This time, his tone was not as solemn as before, but it was also serious.

"Since you choose to take responsibility yourself, there is only one thing you have to do next." Gaigai flicked out a finger and shook it, saying, "That is, starting from Kamen Rider No. 1, all the way to the latest Kamen Rider."

"Throughout the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, you have to immerse yourself in this memory, play out such a story in your mind, and then connect with the new Knight Universe!"

"I know!" Tiandao pounded his chest with his hand, full of energy: "I know it without you telling me!"

"Throughout the three eras, linking the past to the present."

"I regard the Kamen Rider universe I opened up as a continuation of the Reiwa era, and what I want to retrieve is the past of the new world."

"In this way, the history of the past does exist; the story of the present is happening; the future of Reiwa continues."

"Yes, this is the real salvation." After a pause, Gaigai added, "For you... the real salvation."

"Heh..." Tiandao was stunned, but he did not deny this statement, but waved his hand and admitted it.

"However, if you want to do this, you still lack one thing." Gaigai only said this, and then he stopped talking, waiting for Tiandao's answer.

"What?" Tiandao was of course very sensible, and immediately took up the topic brought up by Gaigai.

Gaigai maintained a mysterious and confident smile, met Tiandao's gaze, and looked around him for a while. When the latter was a little confused, he slowly spoke.

"The stories of Kamen Rider you have experienced are really too few. The only ones that can be reproduced by you are Kuuga, Agito, Kabuto and other works you have participated in."

"And other works like Ryuki, Den-O, and Chiki, you have never participated in them, so what is the point of reproducing them?"

Although it is cruel, this is the fact, a fact that Tiandao has to accept.

Such an ending makes him powerless even if he wants to do such a thing.

"I really can't do it, but it's not that no one can't do it." Tiandao pointed to the top of his head and said seriously: "The father of Kamen Rider, I think he won't watch the story of Kamen Rider come to an end, right?"

"The father of Kamen Rider?" This answer obviously did not surprise Gaigai: "Speaking of which, Kamiyama Hiwasama once met that person, but he was just a young man."

"And you, you have to do the same thing now."

Back then, Kamiyama Hiwasama took over the book that wrote the story of Kamen Rider from the young Ishimori Shotaro, and used his own power to re-anchor the history of Kamen Rider, which had been destroyed, so that he could successfully save the world.

And now, Tiandao is going to do the same thing.

The difference is that the power of the young Ishimori and the old Ishimori is not at the same level.

What the young Ishimori Shotaro couldn't do is just a move that he can do easily in his old age.

"Then go ahead." Gaigai's eyes narrowed behind the mask: "The result of entrusting that kind of thing to others, Kamiyama Touma has already demonstrated it once."

Tiandao: ...

Looking at the holy sword in his hand, it is not the Tsuburaya holy sword but the knight's holy sword. This holy sword transformed from the pen of Ishimori Shotaro opened up this new knight universe.

And after that, this sword...

"Although it is in the form of a sword, in the final analysis, it is still a pen?" Tiandao exhaled: "I understand."

"He had expected this outcome a long time ago and handed the right of choice to me."
