"This..."
The great Onmyoji Abe was stunned. Looking at the location of the top ghost king, apart from a huge crater, there was no trace of the top ghost king, not even a single hair. It was completely pulverized, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
The top ghost king was dead... How could he still show off? How could he restore the prestige of the Abe family?
On the other side.
The remaining yokai were also stunned.
[Ding! Yokai... King!!!]
[Host gains System Points +500]
Having lost the top ghost king as their backbone, the yokai had no will to fight and all turned to flee.
Regarding this.
Zhang Wei paid no mind. He lightly raised his hand, signaling the Kamen Riders to pursue. The Kamen Riders nodded in unison and mounted their Kamen Bikes, chasing after them.
This scene was so cool.
Emperor Rider waved his hand, and the Kamen Riders beside him emerged, giving the impression of commanding a multitude of heroes.
The next second.
Engine sounds erupted one after another. Kamen Bikes sped out, catching up to the fleeing yokai who had abandoned their armor. The battle turned into a pursuit of a defeated enemy army.
At the same time.
After the Kamen Riders had all passed by his side, Zhang Wei also made a move. He slowly took out a card from his waist and swiped it:
[Emperor Koma!]
The sound effect played.
Thus, accompanied by the appearance of a cool golden armored motorcycle, the Onmyoji watched as Zhang Wei, transformed into Emperor Rider, stepped onto Emperor Koma and led the Kamen Rider corps in pursuing the yokai, heading into the distance.
Until they disappeared into the distance.
The thick fog also dissipated.
The great Onmyoji Abe and others looked at each other, unable to hide their stunned expressions. After a long while, someone finally came to their senses and managed to utter a sentence:
"Our cardmen are here, this is from Great Xia's cardmen... the Hyakki Yako?"
"Hyakki Yako of the cardmen, the King is not Kuuga, but that Emperor Rider?"
"Great Onmyoji Abe, what do we do now? Should we chase after them? There are many Kamen Riders there, enough to capture and study, right?"
As the words were spoken.
All the Onmyoji, including Fūka and Miko, looked over.
Seeing this.
The great Onmyoji Abe's mouth twitched. He calmly said:
"Don't chase. After all, the Kamen Riders helped us eliminate the Hyakki Yako. It would be a bit unfair to capture them. My Abe family wouldn't do something so despicable. Besides... there's still that Kamen Rider from Great Xia."
"If we were to make a move, and if the Kamen Rider from Great Xia resisted and got injured, who knows if that's a research achievement of Great Xia. If it is, we would be unintentionally offending the Ministry of Defense, and there's no need to create unnecessary trouble."
As he spoke.
The great Onmyoji Abe added in his mind:
"Damn it, that Emperor Rider's aura, no matter how I look at it, is stronger than mine. That Five Sacred Finisher, I feel like even if I brought out what I prepared this time, I might not be able to defeat him. To capture them? That's like going to my death. My Abe family can't afford to lose any more face."
Thinking this.
The great Onmyoji Abe, in order to regain the face of the Abe family, could only continue to mention the Abe family casually and put on a smile:
"Everyone, although we've returned empty-handed this time, and it's considered taking advantage, the most important thing is that we've discovered another materialized anime 'urban legend', no, a group of them. This is a groundbreaking discovery."
"Especially since we've also discovered Great Xia's 'urban legend'. This means that urban legends can be realized, and it's not difficult. We must work harder! Let my Sakura Country's Onmyoji Agency grow stronger!"
His words were met with agreement from the Onmyoji present.
In fact.
Even if the great Onmyoji Abe hadn't said it, they had already decided. Upon returning, they would start watching anime, focusing on series like "Dragon Ball," "Doraemon," and "Ultraman," no, they would watch them with their entire families.
"I remember there's a new Ultraman movie recently. I didn't want to watch it at first, but now it seems I have to."
"Right, right, I almost forgot about that. I'll go buy tickets tomorrow."
"Why don't we go watch it together? I was also thinking of watching it. I heard Masami Nagasawa is in it, and I want to see Masami Nagasawa."
"I've decided not to cultivate and improve my strength recently. I'll watch more anime."
...
That night.
The Onmyoji Agency.
The events in Hokkaido were quickly reported back by the great Onmyoji Abe. The entire Onmyoji Agency was shaken, and an emergency meeting was convened.
It could be seen.
The newly appointed deputy director was excited when he saw the photos of Kamen Riders suppressing the Hyakki Yako. However, his expression changed drastically when he saw the photos of Emperor Rider destroying the top ghost king.
Other high-ranking officials also discussed amongst themselves.
"Is Great Xia's Kamen Rider this strong? At least top ghost king level, right? How many people would it take to materialize that?"
"It seems that urban legends are not only happening to us, but also to Great Xia. Moreover, I have reason to suspect that Great Xia might have started researching it earlier, otherwise, how could there be such a monstrous Emperor Rider?"
"Very likely. I just checked the information on Great Xia's Kamen Riders. I found that Great Xia's Kamen Rider's original setting was not a Heavenly Path, but was later changed to Heavenly Path. And this change made many people like this very powerful Great Xia Kamen Rider."
"It seems Great Xia discovered urban legends and specifically used Emperor Rider as an example. To create a powerful urban legend, they modified Emperor Rider's settings. Well done, Great Xia! Why didn't I think of this?"
"I think after this incident, Great Xia should also know that we are researching urban legends. But there's no need to be afraid. Our anime often makes random changes later, leading to power creep. Great Xia might think that we, in order to create powerful urban legends, also changed the power levels, causing power creep."
The deputy director, listening to everyone's statements, slammed the table and said:
"Regardless, continue to vigorously research urban legends. This plan is definitely correct, and Great Xia is the best example!"
Everyone unanimously agreed.
At the same time.
This night's meeting led the Onmyoji Agency to unanimously decide that all Onmyoji and shrine maidens who joined the Onmyoji Agency must complete a monthly anime viewing quota.
...
On the other side.
A certain place in Hokkaido.
After Zhang Wei killed the last yokai, he collected all the Kamen Rider figures.
Just then.
Ring ring ring.
The phone rang. Zhang Wei picked it up and saw it was Yu Xiaoqi calling.
"Brother Wei, are you still out and about? Miko just called me and said she resolved the Hyakki Yako, and that things were very unexpected. Miko is returning now. I was thinking if Brother Wei is hungry, should we go out for a late-night snack together?"
"Sure, I'll be back right away."
"By the way, Brother Wei, I noticed your figures are gone."
"They're not gone, I took them out."
"Ah??? Took them out? Brother Wei, do you have to cherish your figures so much that you have to bring them out when you go shopping?"
"No, I just took the figures out to do some things."
Just as Zhang Wei finished speaking, he heard the noise from the phone. Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Then.
Before Zhang Wei could ask what was wrong.
Yu Xiaoqi's voice came from the other end:
"Brother Wei, I think you need to come back quickly. I think... I've encountered a ghost."
"Hmm?"
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment. Without hesitation, he mounted Emperor Koma and was about to rush back. At the same time, he said to Yu Xiaoqi:
"Xiaoqi, is Zhengren by your side?"
"Yes, Brother Wei. I was just coaxing Zhengren to sleep."
"Then is the toy I gave Zhengren with you?"
"Uh... Brother Wei, why are you asking this? Are you concerned about Zhengren, or your figures? They've already been given away, why are you still concerned?"
"That's not it. Didn't you forget about the Cao Yanbing figure I gave you? Quickly bring the figure I gave Zhengren to your side. That can protect you."
