But before Raven could savor the moment any longer, a sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Warning!]
[The Host is in danger of entering a berserk state at any moment.]
[Please release your transformation immediately!]
"Huh?"
Startled by the abrupt system prompt, Raven quickly canceled his current Amazon state.
His Amazon form began to recede, and he gradually returned to his human appearance.
It was a shame. He hadn't even fully experienced the feeling of endless power before he was forced to release the transformation.
"It seems this power, strong as it is, isn't easy to wield," Raven mused internally, sighing with regret as he looked around.
After a brief silence, the spectators in the stands erupted into cheers once more, completely unconcerned whether the combatant on the ground was an Orphnoch or not.
Raven gave them a dismissive glance. He had no reason to stay in this world; his mission was complete, and he'd acquired both Emperor's Belts.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the Faiz Driver, the Axel Watch, and the Blaster lying on the ground not far away.
He figured since this world was already the way it was, taking the Faiz Driver wouldn't make things much worse.
So, Raven walked over and picked up the items.
"Sorry, but I'll be taking these."
Raven quietly stored the Driver and accessories into his System Space. He even took the Auto Vajin resting nearby.
"System, take me away."
Having acquired everything he wanted, Raven didn't wish to linger. He intended to vanish right under the noses of tens of thousands of people.
Ding!
[Countdown 3… 2…]
[1!]
Swoosh!
Raven's figure instantly disappeared. The crowd in the stands was completely bewildered, eyes wide, searching for any trace of Raven in the wide, empty stadium.
At the same moment Raven returned to the main world, Yuka's figure vanished alongside him.
....
Inside the Amazon café.
Only less than a minute of main world time had passed during all the days Raven spent in the Sub-World. As for Yuka, the events she experienced in the Sub-World would gradually emerge in her mind over the next few days as a vague dream.
"The rewards this time are extraordinarily rich."
Raven began to tally the spoils from his time in the Sub-World.
He had obtained the Belt of the Sky (Psyga), the Belt of the Ground (Orga), the Faiz Driver, and all its accessories.
Beyond that, a critical gain was the evolution he achieved by devouring the Orphnoch King. From a certain perspective, he was now also the Orphnoch King.
"System, help me open that Grand Gift Package."
Raven suddenly remembered the Grand Gift Package he received as a mission reward that he hadn't opened yet. He wanted to see what surprises it held. He hoped it wouldn't disappoint him too much.
Ding!
[System Gift Package is opening.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired the Neo Amazon Driver!]
[Note: Possesses superior suppression compared to the first generation. Battle power is slightly reduced but is more stable. The armor has a strong metallic texture, and defense is higher than the first generation.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired the World Passport!]
[Note: Upon entering any new world, the café and its employees will automatically be granted legal status.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired Max−Level Learning Ability!]
[Note: Any complex task or skill can be mastered with a single glance, and the performance will be superior.]
"The other two look pretty good, but this Driver doesn't seem as cool as the first generation," Raven mumbled, pouting slightly.
But it didn't really matter. His Amazon Origin power was now too strong for the first-generation Driver to suppress. If he needed to transform into an Amazon in the future, he'd temporarily have to use the second-generation one.
In any case, the one thing he wasn't short on now was Drivers. He had practically collected all the Faiz series Drivers.
"This World Passport... it looks very similar to a certain someone's ability, automatically having legal status in every world."
Raven joked.
And the fact that the café travels with him, too—wasn't this just like Hikari Studio?
Still, this was great. This way, Yuka and Saya would be able to travel with him to various other Kamen Rider worlds.
As for the last one, the Max-Level Learning Ability: being able to learn anything with a single glance and perform it better.
That ability was incredible, even if he couldn't immediately think of where to use it.
"Well, this trip to the Sub-World was certainly worthwhile."
Raven stretched lazily and collapsed onto the bed, ready to sleep.
A little later, Yuka tiptoed in. Seeing that Raven was already asleep, she slipped into the covers as well, a look of peaceful happiness on her face.
Early the next morning, Raven opened his eyes and saw Yuka clinging to him like an octopus. He smiled softly. This beautiful sight wasn't common, as he usually slept late and woke late, while Yuka generally woke up before him.
Gently moving Yuka off him, Raven suddenly remembered his newly acquired ability: granting Yuka eternal life. He wouldn't have to worry about her turning to dust anymore.
A golden light burst from his body and illuminated Yuka. The Orphnoch factors in her body began to evolve. The fatal flaw was gone. Now, she could maintain her human form and freely use her Orphnoch form.
"Huuu..."
After the change in her body, the sleeping Yuka took a deep breath and suddenly woke up. Her eyes met Raven's face leaning close to her, and a blush immediately spread across her cheeks. "Raven-san, you're awake so early," she murmured.
"Yuka, try to feel if there's anything different about your body," Raven instructed her.
"Different?"
Yuka was confused. Did Raven "ambush" her while she was asleep? But she didn't feel anything strange about her body.
