Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider - Starting with Saber

Chapter 37: The Swordsmen of the North and South Assemble, Their Target the Holy Lord of Truth!

"But you, Lan Su! You still haven't given me an explanation!"

"Why did you let Reika get hurt! Why did you take Reika on this dangerous adventure!"

"And who exactly is that guy who looks just like you?!"

As Ryoga Kamishiro asked one question after another, Lan Su was like a child who had made a mistake and was being scolded by his parents.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lingya," Lan Su quickly apologized.

Linghua grabbed Ryoga Kamishiro's arm, shook it, and said coquettishly, "Brother, don't blame Lan Su. I forced Lan Su to take me there."

"Crack." Ryoga Kamishiro's already broken heart shattered once again.

"You, you... sigh!"

"No matter what happens after this, protect Linghua well!"

In the end, Ryoga Kamishiro simply sighed and threatened Lan Su.

"Now tell me, what's the deal with that guy who's just like you!"

While at the base, Ryoga Shindai received a report from Reika, learning about the recent events in Lansu.

"yes!"

"Here's what happened: I accidentally stumbled upon..."

He explained to Ryoga Kamishiro the origin of his power, the reason why he was being hunted by the Black God, and why Lan Yu had appeared.

"..."

After hearing Lan Su's story, Kamishiro Ryoga fell silent for a long time again, but his stiff expression softened considerably.

"No matter what, don't try to solve any problems alone. Linghua and I will always be by your side!"

After leaving those words behind, Ryoga Kamishiro went back to his room alone, feeling depressed.

Tonight, not only has his family's faith collapsed, but even his beloved younger sister seems to be gradually leaving him.

Seeing Ryoga Kamishiro leave, Lan Su breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Linghua with gratitude.

"You may be stronger than me now, but you should never try to shoulder everything alone."

Linghua, annoyed, stretched out her fair finger and poked Lan Su's forehead.

"Hehe, I'll remember that, Sister Linghua."

Lan Su stared at Linghua with a silly grin, scratching his head sheepishly.

Az, who was clearing the plates off the table, pouted in dissatisfaction upon seeing this scene.

The terminal was flashing red, resembling the state of a Humagear when it reached the technological singularity.

The next day, early morning.

Inside the North District base, everyone was gathered here, their expressions somewhat serious.

Sofia spoke first, "Everyone, regarding yesterday's events, after a night of reflection, I believe you all already have your own answers."

"I called everyone here today to get your opinions and discuss what to do next."

The wise man was the first to step forward and suggest, "I propose we go to the Southern Base and ask the Holy Lord directly!"

"I support the wise man's idea," Fei Yuzhen quickly added.

"The wise man's thoughts are my thoughts." Ren retorted, raising her hand in agreement and giving Fei Yuzhen a provocative look.

"..."

After discussion, everyone except Rintaro decided to go to the South District base to confront the Lord of Truth face to face.

"Rintaro? Are you alright?"

Seeing that Rintaro was distracted, the perceptive Mei quickly went over to check on him.

"I'm fine, Mei."

Rintaro forced a smile, but it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he had something on his mind.

Lan Su and the others arrived at the North District base at some point and saw Rintaro looking so dejected.

Ryoga Kamishiro angrily rebuked, "The truth of the Sword of Truth has never been that of one person, but rather the truth of all those who wish to protect peace gathered together!"

"Our Divine Era family has protected the Holy Lord of Truth for generations, but now the Holy Lord of Truth has betrayed the truth. Our Divine Era family chooses to abandon our family's honor and stand on the side of truth!"

"You're heartbroken and despondent because of the betrayal of a mere leader within your organization? Is that what a swordsman should do?"

As long as our beliefs remain unchanged, the sword of truth will continue to exist!

Lan Su couldn't help but look at Kamishiro Ryoga with new respect. He never expected that Kamishiro Ryoga, who was usually so taciturn, could suddenly say so much.

Rintaro lowered his head in shame, but quickly regained his spirits!

"Everyone, let's go to the Southern Base to find the Lord of Truth and get to the bottom of this! No matter the outcome, we will still be swordsmen of the Sword of Truth!"

Mei patted Rintaro on the shoulder happily. "Great, Rintaro, you've finally cheered up again."

The others also looked at Rintaro with encouraging eyes. It was too cruel to make this swordsman, who regarded the organization as his home, face such a truth.

"The brightest!"

Just then, Yuri also appeared at the North Base.

"It's you! The Sword of Light!"

Daqin Temple immediately pounced on Yuri excitedly, but he nimbly turned and dodged.

Yuri then explained his purpose: "Take me with you too. The current leader of the Sword of Truth does have some problems."

Sofia readily agreed, "Of course you're welcome!"

Lan Su waved his hand and announced, "Then, let's set off!"

"good!"

The swordsmen took up their holy swords and headed towards the southern base.

Mei was left behind by Sofia, who asked her to look after the safety of the North District base.

Ryo Onoue also entrusted his son, Sora, to Mei's care.

…………

Just as Lan Su and his group were heading to the South District base with great momentum, some people in the city began to act strangely.

Because of the opening of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Book's catalog channel last time, some people can now see projections of the fantasy world from time to time.

Mei's editor-in-chief was one of them. She thought it was because she was too tired from work and was going to go camping in the wild to rest.

This also made the editor-in-chief the first victim of the Megiddo organization.

Today, the editor-in-chief prepared his tent and luggage and entered the mountains and forests.

Feeling the comfortable breeze in the mountains and forests, the editor-in-chief stretched lazily. "Indeed, nature is the best compared to the chaotic city."

"I saw it again."

She looked up and saw the scene of a fantasy world again.

"I'm probably just too tired lately."

The editor-in-chief shook his head, thinking it was still a hallucination, and then cheered himself up to choose a campsite.

Just as the editor-in-chief finished setting up the tent, Raziel suddenly appeared opposite him.

"Let me grant you invincible power!"

Before the editor-in-chief could react, he threw a blank book into the editor-in-chief's body.

"Uh... Ah!!"

"The Snowman!"

Amidst the editor-in-chief's agonizing screams, he transformed into a white-furred snow ape named Migido.

…………

South District Base.

Led by Ryoga Kamishiro, the group arrived at the Hall of Truth.

Upon seeing the swordsmen gathering below and Lan Su's ambiguous smile, the Holy Lord of Truth, seated above, felt a chill in his heart.

"My lord, have you truly betrayed the Sword of Truth? Why did you kidnap Lady Sophia?"

Rintaro bowed deeply, unwilling to believe it until he saw the Lord of Truth acknowledge it with his own eyes.

The others did not stop Rintaro from asking his question, as this was what they wanted to confirm.

"Lan Su, the kid I took in back then, I never expected you'd cause me so much trouble."

The Holy Lord of Truth glared fiercely at Lan Su, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.

"I was already on guard from the moment you ordered Sophia's kidnapping. Your actions have long since betrayed the original purpose of the Sword of Truth."

Lan Su looked up at the Holy Lord of Truth and completely tore off his mask.

"That's right! I want to collect all the holy swords and books."

"Resurrect the omniscient and omnipotent book from 2000 years ago, and I will gain that great power."

The Lord of Truth knew that all the swordsmen had come with Lan Su and Sophia, which meant that they already had solid evidence in their hands.

Although he was unaware that he had given Lan Su and Sophia leverage over him, that no longer mattered.

Rintaro even tried to persuade the Holy Lord of Truth, saying, "This goes against the organization's principles, Lord! Please wake up! The wise gods will not allow you to do this."

"Ideas? Only I can correctly guide the world; only I am qualified!"

"As for those stubborn old fogies, hahaha! I've already dealt with them long ago."

The Lord of Truth gripped the tattered pages of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence in his hand, gazing arrogantly at the crowd below.

"Why did you do this! Even if you are the Holy Lord protected by the Divine Generations for generations, I will not let you off the hook for violating the truth of the Twisted Organization!"

Completely heartbroken, Ryoga Kamishiro raised the Toki no Kuni sword and pointed it at the Lord of Truth.

"Hahaha, I've had enough of those monotonous and boring days!"

"Now that the Sword of Light has reappeared, it's the perfect time to reclaim the Holy Sword and the Book from your possession!"

The pages of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence in the hands of the Holy Lord of Truth were turned, and a golden shockwave spread out towards the crowd below.

"Henshin!" ×11

Fire, water, thunder, wind, earth, sound, time, smoke, light, and Lansu and Yaz.

Eleven Kamen Riders transformed, and dazzling colored energy filled the Hall of Truth, neutralizing Shendu's attack.

"It's all your fault, you damn brat! Without you, my plan would have gone perfectly!"

The Lord of Truth charged toward Agito, his expression somewhat manic, having completely shed his disguise.

"Hahaha, die!"

The two rapiers unleashed several beams of light, repelling the swordsmen who tried to stop them. It was clear that they wanted to kill Lan Su!

"Hmph, you clown!"

"Click click click".

A clock chime sounded, and a golden clock phantom appeared behind Agito.

The time of the Lord of Truth was suspended in mid-air by Agito, who then slashed out with his sword, heading towards the location where the Sword of Truth held the fragments of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

"Sizzle".

A piercing sound echoed around the Lord of Truth, and the tattered page emitted golden light, actually breaking free from Agito's time stop!

Lan Su was also secretly surprised by the immense power of the fragment in the hands of the Holy Lord of Truth!

As one of the top powers in the world of knights, the All-Round Power still holds its place.

Seeing that the attack was about to hit his face, the Holy Lord of Truth turned into an illusion and appeared behind everyone.

"What kind of ability is that? It allows you to stop people's time!"

The Holy Lord of Truth was filled with apprehension about Agito's abilities; even the Holy Lord of Truth, who had lived for over a thousand years, had never seen such bizarre methods.
