Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 383
Hundreds of years had passed since Denton decided to seek out more companions.

The eye-soul system has been running smoothly.

In order to thank the Great Eye, Adenis spends a lot of time every day praying for the Great Eye between prayers.

He paid attention to Denton, but he hadn't seen Denton in person for a long, long time.

And the information he got from Adair was always the information that "Denton has given up the experiment and is living happily with his daughter".

So of course he didn't notice,

During this period, Denton has been carefully carrying out the activity of "finding companions"...

……

First of all, he first found compatriots who agreed with his ideas, then gradually established a relationship of trust, and finally transported them out of the sleeping room, and transformed their bodies with strengthening devices to make them his companions.

……

These activities become more and more smooth as the eye-soul system runs longer.

Because, people who live with eyes and souls, apart from no longer having to worry about the red death disease, have lost many things that human beings took for granted in the past.

For example, the most basic human needs such as eating and sleeping.

Another example is that they, who cannot die no matter what, have gradually lost the meaning of life and the goal of struggle after a long period of time.

After a long period of accumulation and evolution, these unconscious emotions gradually evolved into dissatisfaction with the eye-soul system.

It was through this that Denton gathered more and more compatriots to his side little by little.

……

At the same time, not only Adenis, but also Edith did not find out about Denton's activities.

He is busy observing the earth.

Yes, Earth.

Through the study of the stele, Edith discovered a way to transport the inorganic matter back to Earth.

Therefore, after trying to send the soul of the eye back to the earth successfully, Edith often uses the soul of the eye to observe the changes of the earth.

This helped Edith to dispel the boredom caused by the long time, so, as a matter of course, he found neither Denton's activities nor the abnormal emotions of the beholder residents towards the eye-soul system.

……

Another long time passed.

Edith is still detached and doesn't care about worldly affairs.

Adnis didn't know when he became more and more superior.

He spent more and more time between prayers and less and less time in the city meeting people.

Instead, a team of personal guards led by Jiailo patrolled the streets for Adnis, and reported to Adnis what they observed.

Then, this inspection did not know when it became a surveillance.

People began to be afraid of Jialuo and others who were patrolling the streets, and they dared not show their true colors to them.

They pretended that they didn't have any dissatisfaction in front of Kailuo and continued to live, but in private they quietly contacted each other to express their dissatisfaction.

Denton had his eye on them, looking for an opportunity to draw them into his camp.

In this way, as they gather around Denton, more and more people have been strengthened.

The story of Denton looking for a fellow reformer gradually spread.

And finally reached the ears of Adnis.

……

"What!? You said that Denton is conducting experiments to create humans who have finally evolved?"

Listening to Kailo's report, Adnis's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Not only that, Denton is still gathering companions and transforming them so that they can live under this red sky with their own bodies..."

Kailo's report was still going on, but Adnis couldn't take it anymore.

A strong anger swept through his heart.

In Adenis' view, this world with the eye-soul system operating is extremely beautiful, and it is an ideal world where people can live happily.

But now, Denton wants to destroy it!
At this moment, Adenis did not consider the significance of the success of "Denton's Enhanced Transformation Experiment".

All he could think about now was that Denton had violated his orders, that Denton was destroying this ideal world!

Adnis commanded Kailo angrily.

"Summon Denton! If he resists, bring him here forcibly!"

During this period, Adair was held accountable by his brother Argos, but was forgiven by Adanis on the grounds that "Adair was young and Denton was smart".

It's just that Adenis, who was in anger, didn't notice that Adel not only didn't reflect on his gratitude for his understanding, but showed a colder look in his eyes.

……

Danton, who was active on the street, was stopped by Gairo's men.

Denton, who had expected this, smiled.

How could Denton, who has been active in the city, not know about the news that even the aloof Adenis could hear?
Therefore, he has already prepared for this moment.

"Denton, Lord Adenis has summoned you!"

"I've been waiting for a long time, it's really slow."

Denton turned around calmly. It was not so much that he was escorted to Adnis by Gailo, but rather that Denton came to Adnis on his own initiative...in order to make a settlement, or to make a statement of war.

……

Looking at Denton in front of him, Adenis felt a little strange in a trance.

How long had it been since he had seen this old friend directly?
Adenis found that he couldn't remember that time so long.

But immediately, that little trance was directly washed away by the anger in his heart.

"Denton, are you the one who secretly transported people out of sleep, awakened and reformed them?"

"it's me."

"Why? I should have clearly ordered you not to do that!"

"For the happiness of the people!"

"What did you say!?"

For Adnis, this is an answer that he can't think of now.

Denton didn't seem to see the surprise on Adnis's face, and he reiterated his philosophy in this time and space after a thousand years.

"People should evolve by their own power, live with their own body without resorting to unknown power, this is correct!"

Everything seems to have returned to the eve before the eye-soul system was officially launched thousands of years ago.

Adnis approached Denton, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and reprimanded: "Are you going to destroy the world of beholders?"

"No, on the contrary, I want to save the world of beholders, and I want to prove that my ideas are correct, so please let me strengthen and transform everyone's bodies!"

Denton asked earnestly.

"No! I won't allow this to happen!"

Adnis' refusal was as usual.

Hearing this, Denton was silent for a moment, pushed Adnis's hand away from his shoulder, and smiled slowly.

"That's why I did it quietly."
