Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 365 The Last Card

The consciousness is silent, the heterogeneous Zero North is sitting on the ground with his head bowed, and his body is bound by iron chains.

Tianjin Si, who is in charge of the heterogeneous Zero North.

And, Yuto Sakurai who looked tired but insisted on standing.

This is what Tokiwa Shogo saw when he just walked out of the teleportation magic circle.

"Demon King?"

Seeing Sogo Tokiwa, Sakurai Yuto was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"It's me... Should I say meeting for the first time? Senior Zero North."

Tokiwa Sogo looked at Sakurai Yuto and replied.

He originally wanted to appear a little more relaxed, but when he thought of what he was going to do later, his expression became serious involuntarily.

Feeling the gradually tense and heavy atmosphere, Sakurai Yuto couldn't help sighing in his heart.

As a senior, he was ashamed enough to make such a choice, so at least, now...

[...Let me start with this one. ]
Thinking of this, Sakurai Yuto went straight to the point and said:

"Things, I've heard what Woz said... Sorry, I still can't do anything, let you eliminate her, so I'm here, for her, to use the last card."

The "she" here refers to the transfiguration of the heterogeneous Zero North, Hana.

That's right, Sogo Tokiwa is here to eliminate the heterogeneous Zero North.

Eliminating the heterogeneous Zero North means killing Hana.

This is because the price of devouring the host [time] of the heterogeneous Zero North watch itself, coupled with the special state of the heterogeneous Zero North watch that was stored in Hana's body from the very beginning, led to Hana's life. When the heterogeneous Zero North experienced the process from "death" to "resurrection" for the first time, he was completely bound to the heterogeneous Zero North watch...

Regarding this point, even Sogo Tokiwa cannot change it.

Just like what he once did to the alien wizard... It has nothing to do with who the alien knight's transformation is and what his character is, but, if Tokiwa Shogo wants to continue to define history by his yardstick, then, He must eliminate the alien knights who are not recognized by the main timeline and correct history.

This is righteousness, and it is also where his kingly way lies.

And now the situation is...

Yuto Sakurai admitted the correctness that the heterogeneous Zero North must be eliminated as a heterogeneous knight, but he still chose to stand up and become the heterogeneous Zero North, no, to become Hana—the last of Sakurai Yena A line of defense.

Thinking of this, Tokiwa Sogo lowered his eyes and said softly: "Give up, senior, you can't stop me."

Sakurai Yuto smiled and said: "I know, but it is precisely because of this that I can make this choice so easily... Sorry, Shi Wang, as a senior, I did such a shameful thing."

Hearing the words, Tokiwa Sogo was silent for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath, let it out, and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about? Senior.

"If a father's desire to protect his daughter can be regarded as embarrassing, then the world will no longer sing the praises of family affection.

"not to mention……"

Just like what Sakurai Yuto said just now, he made this choice so easily on the premise that he knew that his actions would not have any adverse effects on the running of time.

There is no need to imagine what "if" and "what if", neither meaningful nor necessary.

Because, the current situation is like this, and Yuto Sakurai's peaceful state of mind at this time is enough to explain everything.

That is, Sakurai Yuto felt a little sorry for Tokiwa Sogo.

Because Yuto Sakurai believes that in doing so, he actually passed on the "responsibility" to Sogo Tokiwa, who is a descendant of Kamen Rider.

Otherwise, Yuto Sakurai would not use "shame" to describe his choice at this time.

It's just that Tokiwa Sogo didn't let Sakurai Yuto get what he wanted...he praised Sakurai Yuto's choice.

In Tokiwa Shogo's view, Sakurai Yuto has paid enough to protect the movement of time.

And he is just helping the senior to bear the "responsibility" once, so that the senior can complete the final battle without any burden. Whether he is the junior of Kamen Rider or the king of time in the future, this is what he should do .

Tokiwa Sogo's feelings were successfully passed on to Sakurai Yuto, which made Sakurai Yuto burst into laughter after he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Haha—that's it, I understand."

With a brisk smile, Sakurai Yuto took out the Zero North belt and put it on his waist.

Then he took out the last black and red card that represented his existence, and inserted it into the buckle of Zero North's belt.

This time, there was no heaviness in his movements, but rather relaxed.

[Zero Form (zero form)! 】

Dressed in rust-red Zero North armor, Yuto Sakurai looked at Sogo Tokiwa and said:

"Let's transform... As I said before, you haven't done anything wrong!"

"Well, don't worry about me, senior..."

Shogo Tokiwa smiled and took out the Zi-O Knight Watch and Zero North Knight Watch, turned the dial, started it, and inserted the space-time drive.

"...I am, the Demon Lord."

Accompanied by Tokiwa Shogo's last words, the main body of the rotating space-time drive transforms.

[Rider Time (Knight Time)! 】

[Kamen Rider Zi-O! 】

[Armor Time (armor time)! 】

[Altair Form (Altair Form)! Zeronos! 】

Dressed in armor, Sogo Tokiwa declared: "Before I said it, I will not show mercy!"

"Exactly what I want!"

Yuto Sakurai responded loudly, while looking at Tianjin Si.

Needless to say, Tianjin Si also made a choice from the very beginning.

He instantly turned into a weapon, the Tianjin Four Destruction Gun, and fell into the hands of Sakurai Yuto who had transformed into Zero North.

Immediately, Sogo Tokiwa and Yuto Sakurai rushed towards each other at the same time.

"when!"

The Zero Cutter Saber in Sogo Tokiwa's hand clashed with the Tianjin Four Destroyer Gun in Yuto Sakurai's hand.

Then, Yuto Sakurai shot at close range without hesitation, forcing Sogo Tokiwa to dodge and retreat.

In the process of retreating, the form of the Zero Cutter in Tokiwa Shogo's hand was reorganized and turned into a crossbow gun, and he aimed at Zero North unceremoniously...

……

……

After a while, the fighting stopped and everything settled.

Tianjin Si drove the Zero-Liner alone through the wormhole and left.

Sogo Tokiwa held the Zero North Knight watch that had started to glow, and stood there in silence for a moment, when he was suddenly swallowed by a magic circle of time.

Then, time and space began to transform here.

Whether it was this place, or the previous area of ​​Teed's castle ruins, the wounds on the earth began to disappear rapidly.

At the other end of this broken timeline, Sogo Tokiwa's body started the project of continuing the timeline of this world...

And as the "continuation" material, it is the spiritual world of "Shogo Tokiwa", the inner world that has been continuously built and perfected with [time] in a hundred reincarnations.

Of course, this alone will definitely not be able to directly restore this already precarious timeline to a healthy state.

But, at least, it can escape from this danger of collapse at any time.
