Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way Ch 54

After reporting to Fang Xin that he was safe, Yin Xiaoya watched Su Xuan wake up a short time later. He tossed her the evil soul master's soul tool.

"This is the soul guide device that guy left behind. Soul power's not exactly my area, so I can't activate it. You should be able to manage. Open it up and have a look; I think there might be some clues about those evil soul masters inside."

Su Xuan took the object and tried to send soul power into it, but the device rejected her attempts.

"This soul guide is locked; only the owner can open it. But it's not a problem. A Title Douluo can ignore this restriction. Once we get back, we can ask Dean Flender to open it."

"Damn," Yin Xiaoya thought. He'd hoped to find some clues about the evil soul masters that way.

"Guess we have to pick up the pace. Su Xuan, I'm not going to send you back yet. Can you help me out here for the next two days?"

Su Xuan smirked. "Oh, so you ask for help sometimes? I thought you were a lone wolf."

Yin Xiaoya shook his head with a wry smile. With a wave of his hand, Meteorstar appeared. Su Xuan stared at it, confused. Yin Xiaoya sat on the Rider Machine, patted the space behind him, and said, "I just don't like explaining things all the time. You just think of it as a mechanical horse. You'll sit behind me, and we'll keep moving."

He took a pink helmet from the system space and tossed it to her.

"What's this?"

"You wear it on your head." Yin Xiaoya put one on himself. "I'm driving without a license, so you should wear a helmet. Safety first."

Su Xuan gave up trying to understand. She put on the helmet and sat behind him.

"Hold on tight."

Su Xuan blushed a little. When Yin Xiaoya hit the accelerator and Meteorstar raced across the scorching landscape, she grabbed Yin Xiaoya's waist to keep from falling off.

"Hey, I told you to listen to my advice."

Hearing her gasp behind him, Yin Xiaoya smiled. Then someone grabbed a handful of flesh around his waist.

"Hmph, rascal!"

"???"

Yin Xiaoya frowned. Why?

After that, they encountered many soul beasts. With Su Xuan's cooperation, Yin Xiaoya took less and less time to finish each battle. He subdued each soul beast, then the Secretary did her work.

"You have Mantis help you communicate with the soul, anyway. Why didn't you have her help you fight in the first place? I thought she had decent combat power when she was the Bone Scythe Mantis. Did her power decrease?"

Indeed, Su Xuan's question made sense. If Mantis did everything, Yin Xiaoya could relax.

"I've already said it: I'm lazy. If I could give it all to her, I would've done it long ago. The problem is that I have to give these items that seal the power of the Kamen Rider myself, or someone I authorize. Unlocking can only happen when I'm around. So, I can't leave everything to her."

Yin Xiaoya had already asked the system about this. He'd thought about unlocking all the other medals of Kamen Rider OOO, so a bunch of Greeed could be born to do things for him. But the system had shot him down. Any Kamen Rider power item in the seal could not accept the power of the soul beast without the presence of the host, Yin Xiaoya, or a capable person he approved.

If Yin Xiaoya wanted help, the easiest way was to give a bunch of sealed Kamen Rider power items to the corresponding able-bodied people and ask them to find a soul beast to unlock it. But soul beasts weren't stupid; they had strong sensing ability and could instantly sense whether the human being in front of them was a soul master. You had to know that soul beasts hated soul masters. Even if ordinary people who weren't soul masters came, it was like sending rations.

Yin Xiaoya wasn't a soul master, and he didn't even have any soul power. Simply standing in front of the soul beast as a Kamen Rider gave him the ability to protect himself, but it wouldn't make the soul beast regard him as a deadly enemy. But now that he'd gained the power of riders unlocked through soul beasts like Amazon, he also had soul power from the soul beast, which would make the soul beast let down its guard.

"...I'll work hard now, bring out a group of Kamen Riders, and let them help me expand the power of Kamen Riders in the future. Then I can relax. It's all difficult at the beginning, I know."

Mantis came over with another unlocked knight power item. It still wasn't the power of the main Rider, so she asked, "My lord, when will I unlock the power of Kamen Rider OOO?"

Mantis had the same ability as the Greed in the original work, but there was an essential difference: she knew the meaning of her existence was to be the power of OOO.

She was becoming more familiar with the power of core coins, and she could feel the presence of several auras that matched her. She knew those were the existences that could become OOO's power together with her.

During this trip, Yin Xiaoya only came into contact with weak soul beasts, and what got unlocked were all secondary rider transformation devices and secondary rider items.

Yin Xiaoya said, "Have you sensed some soul beasts that can become OOO's power?"

"Yes, then why don't you go and find them?"

"It's useless to find them. Unlocking the core medals is useless. Without the OOO Driver, I can't transform at all."

If you wanted to transform into Kamen Rider OOO, you had to have core medals as a source of power, and you also had to have a rider belt that could guide their power.

Yin Xiaoya didn't know how the system judged. Like Kuuga and Agito, the belt itself contained power, so it made sense that it needed a soul beast to unlock it. But, like Double, OOO, and Fourze, the transformation device itself didn't contain power but existed as a device that drove power. Why should it be unlocked through the soul beast? Why not just exchange it directly with knight points? When Mantis heard that the OOO Driver also needed to be unlocked by the soul beast, she slumped.

"Don't worry, even if there's no way to transform, I'll unlock the core medals as soon as I can. I just want to give priority to some props that can be transformed or used directly."

Mantis nodded, but her emotions didn't lift.

"Why do you suddenly care about this?"

Mantis froze, then hesitated. "It's nothing. I just care."

This guy was hiding something. Yin Xiaoya frowned. It was his decision when to unlock what on her side. Why was she acting so positive? If there was anything she should care about, it was only one thing.

"Mantis! Is something wrong with your child?"

"No, no. You're thinking too much."

"Liar." Yin Xiaoya said. "You're flustered."

Yin Xiaoya's expression grew serious. "Did you use the power of the core medal to nourish it?"

Mantis lowered her head, silent, and shuffled her feet.

"Stop doing that! You act like a human! You're cute, so you think I'm soft! If you're going to do that, at least use your human form! I told you not to use the power of the core medals to nourish your child! Did you ignore me?!"

Faced with Yin Xiaoya's anger, Mantis started to cry.

"I just think that the power of the core medals is so powerful, so I thought letting the child absorb a little bit would make it stronger. I didn't expect it to become like this..."

Yin Xiaoya sighed and explained to Su Xuan. He said to Mantis, "Take out the egg, and let me see what it's become."

The power of the core medal was the power of desire with consciousness. Pure desire was environmentally friendly, but conscious desire was twisted. Anything was possible. Not even the system knew what a newborn life would become after it was contaminated with the power of conscious desire.

Mantis could only rely on Yin Xiaoya. Her chest turned into a ball of medals and opened, then she slowly took out the "egg." But it no longer looked like an egg.

"I...what..."

Su Xuan gasped. "How could it be a human child?"

The egg laid by Mantis when she was the Bone Scythe Mantis had hatched. But no one had thought that what would be born wasn't the cub of the Bone Scythe Mantis but a human-looking baby boy. He slept peacefully, sucking his thumb, a light green light coming from his body.

Yin Xiaoya clutched his forehead, suppressing his anger. It was useless to yell at Mantis. He needed to find out what had happened.

"Tell me: what desire did you use the power of the core medal to satisfy? Su Xuan, take the child here first."

Su Xuan had wanted to do this for a while. As soon as the child was taken out, Mantis grabbed its arm. Mantis was transformed from a soul beast, so she was casual with her offspring.

But Yin Xiaoya and Su Xuan couldn't stand it. The child looked human, and he looked uncomfortable.

Although she was hostile toward Su Xuan, Mantis didn't want to anger Yin Xiaoya, so she obediently sent the child into Su Xuan's arms.

"He's warm..."

Human beings were emotional creatures. They knew that this child couldn't be human, but as long as he looked like a human baby, Su Xuan couldn't help but be tender. The child seemed to enjoy Su Xuan's gentle hug, and his expression eased.

Mantis was jealous of the human woman.

"Where are you looking? I'm asking you something!"

Yin Xiaoya snapped at her, then she explained.

"It's not just my desire, but anything a soul beast would think..."

Soul beasts struggled to grow, taking a long time to accumulate power. Thousands of years were a small achievement, 50,000 years was great, and 100,000 years was complete. But the world was unfair to soul beasts. Not only did it take longer to cultivate than human soul masters, but even during the growth period, they were plundered by human soul masters. After 100,000 years, they could only survive for another thousand years.

There were three roads before them. The first was to accept fate. The second was to break the lifespan limit and step into the cultivation path of a million-year soul beast. One of these two paths no soul beast would accept, and the other was too difficult. That left the third way: transform into a human form like Xiao San and start cultivation from scratch.

Whether the soul beast wanted to admit it or not, humans had the greatest potential. Therefore, many soul beasts had thought that it would be good to be a human. Therefore, when Mantis used her core medal power to nourish her child, she had wanted it to have human talent and the lifespan of a soul beast, and even to have an immortal body, so it wouldn't have to worry about anything.

So under the action of the core coin, her desire had twisted into the egg, and a human-like child had been born. This result caught her off guard. But then something unexpected happened.

This child needed a large amount of cell coins to survive. Once the supply was stopped, this desire would start to eat itself, and the child would be devoured. This was why Mantis hoped that Yin Xiaoya would unlock OOO's power as soon as possible so other Desires could help her supply cell coins.

"What am I doing..."

When Yin Xiaoya heard this, he wanted to kick her. In the original work, the Greeed were dangerous and could swallow the world. However, in Douluo World, the system had erased this setting. Greeeds would never go berserk.

But Mantis had brought it back. Although it looked different, it was the prototype of the rampant power that would swallow the world. Yin Xiaoya had told her not to let children be contaminated with the power of core coins because he was worried about similar risks.

Yin Xiaoya said, "This child is likely to devour the world due to the rampant power of desire." Su Xuan was frightened, and Mantis panicked.

"My lord, I didn't expect this. I beg you to save my child."

Yin Xiaoya sighed. "System, is there a way?"

[There is a way. The desire attached to this child fits the pattern of Undead. If he becomes an Undead, this unreasonable desire can be offset, because the Undead is such an existence, so it does not need the power of desire to support it, and there is no need to continue to devour it. ]

Undead, the hostile monster in Kamen Rider Blade. Indeed, the existence of Undead fit Mantis's desire.

"It's not just as simple as an Undead, right? Her desire also includes the hope that the child can survive in a human way. Isn't that the same as..."

[Yes, it is the Human Undead, JOKER. He will survive as Kamen Rider Chalice. Because this child is transformed from a soul beast, just like Xiao San, he can directly unlock the full power of Kamen Rider Chalice.]

With a flash of light, Chalice's belt Awakener and thirteen cards appeared in Yin Xiaoya's hand, including the Red Heart A Mantis card that Mantis hadn't chosen before. Yin Xiaoya saw that these thirteen cards belonged to the Heart series, all gray and locked.

Taking a deep look at the child in Su Xuan's hand, Yin Xiaoya sighed.

"This is also your fate. I just hope it's not a sinful fate. Mantis, this is the consequence of making a promise of extreme desire. Can you accept it?"

She had no choice.

"It's all up to the adults to judge."

Yin Xiaoya walked up to Su Xuan. He gently placed the cards on the child's abdomen, and they integrated into the child's body. At the same moment, the original green light disappeared. The child looked like a normal human child.

The system told Yin Xiaoya that all the props of Kamen Rider Chalice had been unlocked and integrated with him. Yin Xiaoya could no longer use these props.

Yin Xiaoya smiled and scratched the child's nose.

"It's a pity. I really like Kamen Rider Chalice, It was cheap for you."
