Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 306 "The Demon King"

At the same time, in the tavern on the corner.

Da da da--

With the realm of time stopping covering reality, except for the existence known as the "Time Robber", all other mundane things that are active have stopped.

Ola rested her chin on one hand, with a calm expression, and her right fingertips gently slid along the edge of a glass wine glass. When she noticed the fluctuation of time stopped, there was a flash of strangeness in her eyes.

It is very painful to be forgotten by the approved person, because it means the disappearance of the time they once spent together.

It is obviously a memory of two people, but it looks like a one-man show of one person.

That's it.

However, Mitsumi Kureshima's forgetfulness didn't seem to have any negative impact on Aura... Or, even if it did, Aura doesn't want people to see it now.

Especially in front of Swaruz.

Thinking of this, Ur looked past Ola, turned around, and looked at Swaruz who had just opened the door outside the tavern.

"What's the matter with inviting us all here at this point in time?"

Ur asked directly, and the tone of his words was very rude.

He had similar behaviors before, but at that time, he was full of childish dissatisfaction, but now, he was alienated with anger.

Because, the current Ur has no sympathy for Swaruz...since the day Swaruz watched him being used as experimental material by the alien OOO.

However, Swaruz didn't care about it, after all, it was just a...

"Heh." He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ur, since I've called you all here, of course I have something very important to tell you."

"Important things..." Ur repeated in a low voice.

"That's right, it's an important thing to prevent you from violating the Time Robber's rules."

Saying this, Swaruz gave Ola a meaningful glance.

Aura, who saw this scene through the wall of the glass, closed her eyes, and said slowly: "... Is there a newcomer already assisting his king?"

"Oh? Have you already guessed it? Ola, you are still as sharp as ever."

Swaroz laughed.

"But, not newcomers, but your seniors."

"senior?"

"Yes, his name is—Ted."

Hearing this, Ola glanced at the corner of her mouth.

"do not know."

This proud girl doesn't care about whether she is senior or not.

What's more, with Swaruz in front of her, she is already very cold towards those seniors in the organization of Time Robbers who have never met.

The same is true for Ur.

To him, it doesn't matter what the name of that Time Robber's predecessor is, he must have never heard of it anyway.

What he cared about was that whether it was Aura or Swaruz, they said that Teed had already started to assist his king, but...

"Why didn't I perceive the change in history and the birth of a strange knight?"

Ur frowned.

"Because, unlike our previous operations, Tidd has not yet integrated his changed timeline with the current time and space."

Swaroz laughed.

"How? Want to visit the 'world' he created?"

"miss you!"

Ur replied very simply.

He was curious to know how Tied managed to separate the timelines without affecting each other.

At the same time, learning from experienced predecessors can effectively reduce the detours to success.

"it is good."

Swaruz nodded happily, then looked at Ola.

Ola didn't speak, just picked up the wine glass, raised her head, drank all the wine in one gulp, put it down, and then got up and turned to Swaruz for an answer.

She goes too!
……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Sogo Tokiwa, who was jogging in the morning, had just run for a while, when a familiar figure trotted up from behind him.

"Good morning, my Majesty the Demon King."

That's right, this familiar figure is neither Gates nor Tsukuyomi, but Woz!
Sogo Tokiwa turned his head to look at Woz, and replied with a smile, "Morning, Woz."

Then, he asked with some doubts: "Why do you think you want to run with me today?"

Hearing this, Woz's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Look at what you said, if you need, I can run with you at any time, it is my honor."

"It's just that this time, you have business to find me, right?"

Seeing the embarrassment on Woz's face, Sogo Tokiwa sighed and said.

"Is it about the strange knight?"

"Ah."

Speaking of business, Woz's expression immediately swept away the embarrassment and became serious.

In fact, now is the time when Woz really feels a little embarrassed. After all, it was something he should have done last night, but because of his negligence, it was delayed until today.

That is to say, in the two sentences before and after the dialogue, the look shown by Woz is actually exactly the opposite of his mental activity.

The former is to allow Sogo Tokiwa to see through his purpose smoothly.

The latter is to demonstrate his reliable capabilities.

A little, little experience as a loyal minister.

I only heard Woz continue: "It is recorded in this book that under the seemingly peaceful history, the undercurrent of time has quietly surged... The key word is, singularity!"

"Singularity..." Tokiwa Sogo nodded knowingly, "I see, it's the King of Electricity."

"Yes."

Woz replied.

"The change of the singularity's identity will lead to the birth of a divergent point, and if we don't destroy the plan of the time robber at the critical moment of determining the future, then the future of this world will be connected to a completely different path from the past. The route, when the time comes, not only the future, but also the past and the present will undergo unpredictable changes."

The reason why Woz uses the word "unpredictable" to describe another route after the divergence point is because there is no record related to it in the Advent Calendar.

Tokiwa Shogo asked: "The critical moment...what time do you mean?"

Woz shook his head: "I'm still checking."

In other words, don't know yet.

Tokiwa Sogo asked again: "What about the point of divergence? Has it already appeared?"

Woz heard the words, was silent for a while, and replied:
"I can't enter the time desert right now, so another purpose of my coming this time is to report to you first...

Later I'll go back in time, look for opportunities, and maybe make a little 'little mistake', to see if I can get the attention of the time police and get into the terminal in the desert of time.

Then, while looking at the points of divergence, ask the webmaster about the "critical moment" by the way, and you should get some useful information. "

After hearing this, Sougo Tokiwa couldn't help being silent for a while, then he turned his head to look at Woz, and asked with a strange look in his eyes: "Are you also planning to steal an ancestral treasure from the police at a certain time?"

Woz was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Sogo Tokiwa with an expression of "There is still such an operation".

Obviously, Tokipan Zhuangwuzhi's move was completely different from what he thought.

The corner of Woz's mouth twitched as he looked at Sogo Tokiwa's side face, thinking about it.

[You are the devil...the devil! ]
He raised his hand to his forehead, but for some reason, that face covered by his palm was gradually painted with a smile.

"As you wish, my Majesty the Demon King."

He stopped, put down his palms, looked at the back of Sogo Tokiwa who continued to move forward against the rising sun, bent slightly to salute, and his figure stayed in place for a moment before dissipating with the wind.
