Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadow

The light flashed past, and Shadow Moon appeared between the worlds driving the Amazing Locust for the first time in a long time.

"Huh, it turns out this is the most familiar place."

Shadow Moon lamented that the time he spent imprisoned by the Black God in the world of Yajituo was too depressing. Now that he was here, he couldn't help but stretch.

Where to go next?

Shadow Moon is thinking about the next world.

I have been to many knight worlds. Do you want to go to the team world? Maybe go to the world outside the barrier to see what will be there?

Ultraman world? Marvel world? Or the fang wolf world?

He was seriously thinking about this matter, and subconsciously, he looked towards the endless void, but at this moment, his expression changed - the world in front of him had changed drastically.

The worlds that originally did not interfere with each other like fruits on a branch are now close to each other, and small parts of the worlds are even integrated.

what happened?

What exactly happened during the time when I was in the Yajituo world?

Shadow Moon fell into doubt. He carefully looked at the world in front of him. Suddenly, Kotaro's anxious voice sounded from his motorcycle:

"Nobuhiko, can you hear me? Nobuhiko!"

"Well, what happened, Kotaro?"

"Great, where have you been? I tried to contact you several times but couldn't reach you. I couldn't even locate you. What happened?"

"It's hard to describe in a word. I've been through a lot, but everything has been resolved now. Is there anything wrong?"

"Well, Knight No. 1 has always wanted to contact you."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Shadow Moon hung up the communication, but there was some doubt in her heart.

After the battle of the decade, the Showa Knights seem to have been silent for a while. There doesn't seem to be any noteworthy villains recently. Could it be the knight's soul? That's a bit troublesome. I've only heard of that comic, but haven't read it.

With thoughts racing in his heart, Shadow Moon drove the motorcycle towards the Showa World. Fortunately, he still has the coordinates of the Showa World stored, and it has not changed even if the world changes.

Whoosh——!

In the Showa world, Kotaro stood at the door, looking expectantly at the end of the street. He seemed to have returned to his youth again.

Suddenly, the familiar sound of an engine sounded at the end of the street, and from far to near, a figure driving a silver motorcycle came into view.

"Nobuhiko!"

Kotaro waved his hand, calling this friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

Nobuhiko drove the motorcycle to the door of Kotaro's house, took off his helmet, looked at Kotaro and smiled:

"Long time no see, Kotaro."

"I see, I have experienced so many things."

In the room, Kotaro looked surprised as he listened to Nobuhiko telling what he had experienced.

Even though he had already witnessed the existence of the Creation King, he was shocked when he heard that the legendary Creation God really existed.

"But everything is over. Human beings who have surpassed gods have solved it and everything has settled."

Nobuhiko took a sip of water and said with emotion.

Then, he looked at Kotaro and asked about what he mentioned before:

"Why did Knight No. 1 contact me?"

"Well, they seem to be tracking a special organization recently, and they seem to need your help for this. They also gave me some fragments and wanted me to use the Emperor Stone to check them, but my Emperor Stone didn't respond to them."

Recalling the previous situation, Kotaro was also a little confused.

Listening to his description, Nobuhiko subconsciously thought of Shuka, a villain who could be said to be unbeatable. But was it too early for Shuka to jump out just after being defeated?

And what are the fragments?

While Nobuhiko was thinking, he subconsciously looked at the door - Kotaro stood up and went to open the door. What caught his eye was a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

He seemed to have just come off the battlefield and felt a little dusty.

But the moment he saw him, Nobuhiko stood up subconsciously:

"Mr. Hongo."

Yes, he is the origin of all Kamen Riders, the first Kamen Rider transformer - Hongo Taken.

Nobuhiko didn't expect to see each other here.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I informed my senior before that it would be better for him to tell you directly about these things."

Kotaro explained from the side.

Hongo looked at Nobuhiko fiercely, with a gentle smile on his resolute face:

"Long time no see, Akizuki Nobuhiko, I heard from Kotaro about your matters. Are you okay?"

"Well, it's okay. It's better to say that in a sense, I've even benefited from it, and my abilities have further evolved."

"I see, you successfully protected the people of that world from the enemy."

Hongo nodded fiercely and said.

But when he heard this, Nobuhiko thought of the base that was washed with blood, and also thought of the people who went crazy and died in the blood moon. Although he didn't regret doing this, to be honest, this kind of behavior seemed to be incompatible with Showa's Kamen Rider philosophy. Going in the opposite direction.

"No, it's not so much protection. I actually didn't do anything. On the contrary, I killed humans with my own hands."

Nobuhiko shook his head and said very calmly.

He didn't intend to hide it. His experience in the world of Yajituo had slightly changed his views, so it was better to tell him sooner or later.

As soon as he said this, Kotaro's expression changed and he asked hurriedly:

"What's going on?"

"How should I put it? Some ambitious people wanted to obtain the power of God, and even conducted human experiments. Many people died, so I killed them."

"There was such a thing..."

Hearing this, Kotaro's tone was solemn, but the anxiety in his words disappeared silently.

"Is that so."

Hongo Takeshi nodded, and then asked:

"Do you feel guilty or regretful about this?"

"No, no, I don't regret anything I did."

"That's enough."

"Huh?"

Hongo Takeshi's words surprised Nobuhiko. In his impression, most of the Kamen Riders in the Showa period were warriors of absolute justice, which seemed to be related to children, but for Nobuhiko, this absolute justice was somewhat far away from him.

However, Hongo Takeshi didn't seem to care about his killing.

"Are you confused? Even if I am the first knight, what exactly does Kamen Rider mean? From my original perspective, it is a transformed warrior who loses everything, even his human identity, but now it is different. Many warriors named Kamen Rider who protect humanity have stood up. They are not transformed people. Do we deny their knight identity just because of this?"

Hongo Takeshi thought of the battle against Shocker with the Heisei Knights:

"I hope you can become a Kamen Rider, but I don't want our ideas to bind you."

"Don't you blame me for killing people?"

"If you condemn a person by killing, then all the soldiers in the world may have to be shot. The most important thing is that I heard Kotaro say about you. In order to protect the people in the monster world, you even sacrificed yourself. This is the nobility of your spirit and the key factor in becoming a Kamen Rider."

"Sacrifice? It's better to say that I just accepted my fate."

Nobuhiko does not think it is a sacrifice.

Hongo Takeshi has a different view:

"When judging a person, you should look at what he does, not what he says. It is true that you took the initiative to enter the Monster World to protect the people of the Monster World, and it is also true that you went deep into danger alone to deal with Dai Shocker.

No one is perfect. The power we have is powerful, but it is precisely because of this that we need to restrain our hearts. What you do is worthy of this power. You should interpret the Kamen Rider in your heart with your heart, and don't be restrained by our influence."

Hongo Takeshi stepped forward, patted Nobuhiko on the shoulder, and said seriously.

Nobuhiko was stunned when he said this, but then, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and changed the subject:

"By the way, didn't you ask me for help? What's the matter?"

"Well, actually, when I fought Dr. Death last time, I got a strange thing."

Hongo Takeshi did not continue this topic, but reached out and pulled out an evidence bag from his pocket. Inside, pieces of mechanical fragments were quietly staying inside, and the largest piece had an obvious letter s.

"After investigation, it is called Gaia Memory."
