Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way Ch 69

Yin Xiaoya knew they couldn’t let the suffering continue, or allow continuous mutations to cause further changes. He swiftly prompted Xiaoman, the system AI, to unleash the Kamen Rider powers they could unlock.

Before the mutated Ghost-Faced Griffin, a monstrous figure over three meters tall and seven meters long materialized. It was a gray-white, mechanical-looking lion—the Chimera Phantom.

The creature shared similarities with the mutated Griffin, appearing as a pieced-together entity. A bull's head jutted from its chest, while wings of a dolphin and falcon extended from its shoulders. Its tail was that of a chameleon.

Yet, its mechanical design prevented it from appearing mismatched. Instead, it looked majestic and dominant.

Just like the Phantom Dragon within Yin Xiaoya, the Chimera Phantom held all the power of a Kamen Rider. As soon as the Phantom Dragon was fully unlocked, its corresponding Rider items would appear.

On the other side, what materialized before the mutated Azure Phoenix wasn't as flashy. It was just three small, off-white medals: the Taka (hawk), Kujaku (peacock), and Condor Core Medals, linked by a shared origin.

Desire didn't create Ankh's physical form because Ankh himself wasn't the power's source. The Core Medals were. Once unlocked, they could naturally create Ankh.

According to Xiaoman, a Greeed's form was a contradictory blend of various animals from the same group. It didn't have an accurate or fixed posture, allowing it to simulate a human appearance. This meant the mutated Azure Phoenix, upon transforming into Ankh, would likely manifest in a feminized form.

Since the fathers of both creatures and Emperor Yan were present, having already accepted their children becoming Kamen Rider power, they didn't hesitate. When presented with the opportunity, they immediately merged with the corresponding power.

"Roar!!!"

Once unlocked by the mutated Ghost-Faced Griffin, the Chimera quickly regained its vibrant colors. Simultaneously, a steady stream of magic and soul power poured out, shocking the three soul beasts, except Emperor Yan, who stepped back from the mixed energy.

The Phantom Dragon within Yin Xiaoya was still being unlocked by the Negative Heart Flame, but since a soul beast wasn't performing the unlocking, it wouldn't have any thoughts, only providing magic and soul power. To completely unleash its power and transform into Kamen Rider Wizard, Yin Xiaoya needed to find a soul beast to continue the process.

The Chimera, however, was different. Having been unlocked by a matching soul beast, it not only possessed its own thoughts but had also liberated all its corresponding powers. Once a suitable person was selected and possessed, the Kamen Rider Beast's props would appear naturally.

In contrast to Chimera's boisterous unlocking, the activation of the Core Medals was more subdued. After the mutated Azure Phoenix merged with them, the three medals floated from the ground. Restoring their red-faced, gold-rimmed colors, they rotated in mid-air.

According to Xiaoman, since it was unlocked by the same soul beast, the mutated Azure Phoenix's soul could freely switch between the three Core Medals.

The reason the mutated Azure Phoenix could unlock three Core Medals simultaneously was that its mutation was a splitting process, dividing into three forces corresponding to eagles, peacocks, and vultures. It now shuttled between the three medals, evenly distributing its strength.

When the three medals stopped spinning, a large number of Cell Medals emerged, just like when the Bone Scythe Mantis transformed into a Greeed. Then, a familiar figure materialized before Yin Xiaoya: Ankh, the bird-type Greed.

Unlike the stiff, leather-clad figure from the original series, this Ankh possessed the mantis-like softness of a creature, with a slimmer, more feminine form than the original. As Xiaoman predicted, it was a feminized Ankh.

With the unlocking complete, they were visibly surprised to feel their new lives and powers. Emperor Yan inspected them and, finding their condition better than that of soul beasts in their prime, smiled.

"Success."

The Ghost-Faced Griffin King and Azure Phoenix King breathed sighs of relief, looking at their children with comforting expressions. Though they were no longer familiar, their auras remained unchanged.

"Father!"

Reborn, they rushed to their respective fathers...

Yin Xiaoya couldn't stand this family drama. Seeing it always reminded him of his parents and sister, not conducive to transmigration. It meant separation from his relatives and the lack of new ones in this world.

Sighing, Yin Xiaoya abandoned the scene and walked out alone. Emperor Yan and the Jin'e Red Stag Beetle followed, realizing the same thing.

Having agreed to help them, all had to leave. Emperor Yan was still here. Having become Kamen Riders, Chimera and Ankh would automatically understand their purpose and follow Yin Xiaoya wholeheartedly.

"I have something to tell him; please leave," Emperor Yan said, dismissing the Jin'e Red Stag Beetle. She stretched out her hand, offering two shiny objects to Yin Xiaoya: two soul bones, left over from the main bodies after the unlocking.

Yin Xiaoya shook his head. "I can't use soul bones; I'm not a soul master. Let's leave them for their fathers."

"You didn't keep your creations. It shows you aren't obsessed with power. It's like this that you can gain great power. I believe in you, and hand these spirit bones to Ma Hongjun. This is also what they mean."

Yin Xiaoya knew that Ma Hongjun was the only one that could take them.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to him."

He put the soul bones into the system space, and Emperor Yan hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything to do, just say it. If I can help, I will," Yin Xiaoya said.

Emperor Yan flickered for a while and said, "I hope you can find someone for me."

"Looking for someone? Human? Who?"

"Not a specific person, but a special existence with certain conditions. A soul master with a body spirit that can only cultivate spiritual power."

Yin Xiaoya thought of Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of the second Douluo World. He realized what she wanted.

"Could it be, do you want to become a soul?"

Emperor Yan was stunned, looking at Yin Xiaoya in shock. "You know this? You really deserve to be a Kamen Rider."

Um? As expected of Kamen Rider? That sounds awkward.

"Since you are willing to sacrifice your power to humans and become a soul, does that mean you know you can't survive the next catastrophe?"

She sighed slightly. "Now there are only you and me here, so I won't hide it. You must also know that the soul beast will have a choice in one hundred and one thousand years. I chose to find a way to break through the shackles and continue to practice as a soul beast, but the way to break through is the most extreme one..."

According to her, a soul beast must try to break through the shackles in 1,000 years. The safest way is to devour treasures of heaven and earth. However, there aren't many of this level, so most soul beasts choose another method.

Mobilize all the power to the extreme, break through the rules, and trigger a catastrophe. Surviving it grants a lifespan of 200,000 years. Many soul beasts fall, and Emperor Yan was lucky enough to survive.

"...After that, I discovered the magical place called Jitian Yanlian. As for what happened next, I think you have guessed it before, right?"

Yin Xiaoya nodded. "Jin E red stag beetle said that the extreme sky flame curtain can avoid the catastrophe, so it didn't let you go out, but it did it too hard, as if it knew that you would not be able to survive the next day's Calamity. So I was thinking at the time, could it be because you have avoided a catastrophe with the Extreme Sky Flame Curtain before, so what you will face next is not the catastrophe at the 200,000-year level, but the 300,00-year level. You have actually reached the fierce beast level, haven't you?"

Emperor Yan was satisfied with Yin Xiaoya's understanding speed.

"Yes, I have already stepped into the ranks of fierce beasts. In fact, even the red armor doesn't know it. The reason why it came here is only under the order of the master of Wanchong Valley. Even with Jitian Yan, the protection of the curtain only delays the time for the catastrophe to discover me. Because I did not directly resist the last catastrophe, I already feel that when the next catastrophe comes, it will be twice as powerful. I can't make it through with my strength."

"So are you ready to give up... If so, I can also help you here."

Emperor Yan shook her head. "It is true that your Kamen Rider power can make our soul beasts get rid of the original rules of heaven and earth, but I have a reason to continue to adhere to this rule. And in a sense, being a soul is the same as becoming your Kamen Rider, so for me, it is natural to choose to become a soul."

It is hard to persuade Yin Xiaoya; Emperor Yan may have been thinking about this issue for 10,000+ years.

"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye out for news about such people."

It seems that it is necessary to get in touch with the neuropathy of the Noumenon sect in the future. I just don't know if there will be Huo Yuhao's peers in this world.

After all, the Sun Moon Continent has already appeared, which shows that not only things in this world are different from the main Douluo world, but even the timeline is chaotic, so no matter what happens, it will not be surprising.

After all, soul beasts are not as hypocritical as humans, and the few inside didn't chat for long before they came out. After arriving in front of Yin Xiaoya, they fell down in unison.

"My lord, we husband and wife will follow you from now on."

Yin Xiaoya glanced at the Ghost-Faced Griffin King and Azure Phoenix King, who were following behind, and they nodded to him. It seems that they don't have any grudges anymore.

"Well, for convenience, I will call you two Chimera and Ankh from now on. All right, everything has been settled, and we are about to leave here. It is inconvenient for Emperor Yan to lift the Extreme Sky Flame Curtain now. Your cultivation base is not as high as theirs, so you can't penetrate through it with your own strength, let's change back, I will put you away first."

"Yes, my lord."

So Chimera turned into the two rings of the Kamen Rider Beast Rider, the Beast Rider Ring for the transformation into the basic form, and the Transcendence Beast Rider Ring for the ultimate form. And Ankh changed back to those three core coins.

After returning them to the system space, Yin Xiaoya summoned the Meteor Driver.

[Meteor Ready? ]

"Transform!"

Under the meteorite photosphere, Yin Xiaoya transformed into Kamen Rider Meteor. Without taking back the meteorite photosphere, he took out the No. 20 flame astronomical switch that had just been unlocked, and replaced it with the meteor switch and loaded it into the driver.

【Fire~~ON】

As a result, the light blue meteorite light ball turned into a jade red light ball under the action of the flame switch with the power of the red jade silkworm.

Emperor Yan felt it for a while, and nodded: "Well, there is indeed the power of that child, so you can enter and exit here unimpeded. Alright, you guys go back with him."

"Master Yan Emperor, we will meet later." After greeting, Yin Xiaoya controlled the meteorite light ball and flew upwards, and after a while, he and the other three soul beasts passed through the extreme sky flame curtain and disappeared in the sky above. In the magma layer.

Here again, she returned to the state where only she existed, so her figure turned into a ray of light and floated into the cave before, and finally merged into its body deep in the cave.

As a red jade silkworm with a lifespan of nearly 200,000 years, she is naturally no longer an ordinary red jade silkworm. Even her body is no longer a silkworm, but a butterfly.

Yes, Emperor Yan's body is already a red jade butterfly as beautiful as a jade carving, and its body is only the size of a normal adult human.

It flapped its wings on its back, flew out of the cave, and flew towards the edge of the underground world. It took her only a few seconds to reach the end of the huge underground world.

Here, there is a stone platform that is not very eye-catching. On the stone platform, there is a stone box quietly placed.

Looking at this stone box, Emperor Yan's thoughts immediately returned to the day when he was forced to trigger the catastrophe nearly 90,000 years ago when he was still a hundred and eleven thousand years old.

Although the Crimson Jade Silkworm has the talent of temperature immunity and ultimate fire, as a soul beast, it is considered to be of high quality, but it is definitely not at the top level. Moreover, there are almost no means of attack power, and no means of defense. It is very difficult to cultivate for 10 years, but it is impossible to resist the movement of the sky.

Yes, she still concealed the matter from Yin Xiaoya, and she did not survive the first catastrophe by herself, but a mysterious person who suddenly appeared blocked it for her.

Thinking of this, the figure of the pink and green-eyed warrior appeared in her mind again, and she remembered what happened after he helped her prevent the catastrophe.

"Pink? Why do everyone say that, little bug, this is not pink, but magenta."

As he said that, this strangely shaped warrior removed his armor, and a young man in a long suit with a wicked smile on his face appeared from inside. He fiddled with the pink cube hanging from his chest.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a flash of light, the cube made a crisp sound.

"What have you done?"

"Leave a little connection with this world."

Just after saying this, the young man's body suddenly began to blur.

"What happened to you?"

The young man saw his body that was gradually becoming mosaic, but he didn't panic at all. He just smiled helplessly and said, "Oh, it seems that this world is also rejecting me. Is this the consequence of coming at the wrong time? I didn't expect that the chaos of time and space would be more serious than imagined."

"What are you talking about? Are you really okay?"

The young man looked at the little bug he had rescued, and then at the camera that just took the photo, with a smile on his face. He took out a card from his chest and handed it to Xiao Chongzi.

"I'm leaving this world temporarily. As a reward for letting me leave your contact certificate, I will lend you this. It should be able to help you survive another disaster."

Xiao Chongzi obediently accepted the card with a weird figure printed on it, and then looked at the benefactor in front of him who had saved him.

"Since you lent it to me, when will you come and get it?"

"I shouldn't be the one to pick it up. One day, when someone comes to you with the voucher inside, you just give him this card."

The young man shook the camera in his hand, then turned his back and gently raised his hand, a gray fog wall appeared there under his call, and he walked slowly towards the fog wall.

"Wait! Please at least tell me who your name is?"

The young man who walked to the fog wall stopped. At this time, his whole body had become blurred, and the world's resistance to him was getting heavier and heavier.

"I have many identities, the destroyer of the world, the connector of the world, but I prefer to call myself this, a Kamen Rider passing by here."

"Kamen Rider?"

The young man has already stepped into the fog wall. Before entering, he left the last sentence: "Remember, the guy who will come to you is also a Kamen Rider, but if he doesn't show you what I said, don't give him that card."

The young man who finished speaking these words disappeared in front of the little insect along with the wall of fog, but he didn't even tell it his real name.

His thoughts ended here, Emperor Yan looked at the stone box in front of him, and let out a soft breath. The stone box was opened, and the card slowly flew in front of him.

After that, Emperor Yan obtained the living space delayed by time and space by fusing the power of this card into the extreme sky flame curtain, and then escaped another catastrophe.

"Almost 90,000 years have passed. Kamen Rider appeared in front of me again, but he didn't hold the certificate you mentioned. Does this mean that it is not time to return it to you? Anyway, there is always a premonition that you should still appear in front of me, right? The destroyer of the world."
