Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 484 One of Tezuka Umiyuki's Purpose
The roof of a building near the hospital.

Looking at Ryuga and Shinji Kido who left the hospital building one after another from the window and were caught by the Dark Dragon and Wusou Dragon respectively, Tezuka Umiyuki was about to speak when he heard a clear announcement from beside him .

"Congratulations, at this moment, a battle for the survival of the world has officially begun!"

Hearing this, Tezuka Umiyuki was silent for a moment, and looked beside him without any surprise on his face.

"You really came..."

He calmly said the identity and name of the person next to him.

"Retainer of the Demon King, Woz!"

As Tezuka Umiyuki's perspective rotated, the person beside him gradually appeared in full view.

Brown coat, gray scarf, it is Woz.

"Yahahahah~~"

Holding the Advent Calendar in his hand, with a smile that was almost the same as usual, he said to Tezuka Kaiyuki.

"Mr. Tezuka, even if you please me so much, the result will not change at all."

"I know." Umiyuki Tezuka nodded, "So, I'm not regretting the choice I made, I just feel a little bit emotional."

"Feeling?"

"Yes."

Tezuka Umiyuki nodded again, and then changed his voice.

"However, it may be that I am too weak.

"Because, I really have no way to turn my back on the world and let many innocent people die for my own wish.

"I can't afford that guilt.

"After all, although this world is not beautiful, it is not so bad that it must be destroyed."

At this point, Tezuka Umiyuki sighed softly, looked away from Woz, looked around for a week, and finally looked in the direction of the hospital again.

"To be honest, I admire that Demon King of the Mirror World.

"As a king, he has done all the responsibilities he can for his world and his people.

"It's no wonder the denizens of the Mirror World are so loyal to him.

"But, I am from this world!

"Just as there is a devil in the mirror world who is doing his best to make his world a better place, in this world, there is also a devil who is actively working hard to make this world a better place!"

Saying this, Tezuka Umiichi pointed to the mirror monsters who were gathering towards the Holy Central Hospital.

"Look, even these residents of the mirror world, which I once called monsters, are working hard for their king and their world. As a human being, as a resident of this world, how can I lose to them? , turn your back on my world, turn your back on the devil king of my world, let him fight alone?"

These words pierced Woz's heart like a needle, causing his hand hanging by his side to tighten suddenly, and he could no longer maintain the usual smile on his face.

I saw him say with a cold expression:

"Is this why you deceived Qiu Shanlian? Because you think that he will eventually abandon the world because of his own private wishes, so even if you use deception, you have to stop him?"

However, Tezuka Umiyuki shook his head when he heard the words.

"No, I never thought of stopping Lian's choice."

It's not just that he won't deny a husband's desire to save his wife.

It was because he knew Qiu Shanlian well.

In the eyes of outsiders, Akiyama Ren, who always looks cold, as if she doesn't care about anything, will be able to kill others with ease if necessary, right?
However, Qiu Shanlian's ruthlessness is just an appearance caused by his extremely inexpressible character.

In fact, Qiu Shanlian is a very affectionate and kind person.

Therefore, if Qiu Shanlian is forced to choose between the person he loves the most and the world, he will be the only one who will be hurt in the end.

If you don't fight you will die, if you fight you will die.

In this case, how would Akiyama Ren choose?
The memory of the history of the knights has revealed Akiyama Ren's choice for Tezuka Umiyuki.

Yes, if it was Akiyama Ren, the final choice would definitely be the path of "fighting".

Perhaps, the former Tezuka Umiyuki would choose to stop Akiyama Ren.

However, the current Tezuka Umiyuki, as Akiyama Ren's best friend, chose to fulfill Akiyama Ren's private wish.

And what is Qiu Shanlian's private wish?

Undoubtedly, that was Eri Akiyama's safety and health.

Woz said just now that Umiyuki Tezuka lied to Akiyama Ren.

This is true.

Earlier, when Tezuka Umiyuki persuaded Akiyama Ren at the Holy Central Hospital, he said that he was a lobbyist for the Demon King.

However, he did not specify which demon king it was.

The reason why Akiyama Ren thought that the "devil king" Tezuka Kaiyuki mentioned at the time referred to the Mirror World Shogo was actually the result of Tezuka Kaiyuki's deliberate induction.

Then, Umiyuki Tezuka took advantage of this result, and Akiyama Ren's trust in him, and asked Akiyama Ren to leave Yeqi's knight watch to Akiyama Eri.

In the end, the night rider's knight watch fell into the hands of Gates, and it became a nomination certificate handed over to Sogo Tokiwa, and also became a talisman that Tezuka Umiyuki guaranteed that Eri Akiyama would be saved no matter what.

However, it is different from what Woz guessed.

The purpose of Tezuka Kaiyuki's move is not to use deception to force Akiyama Ren into Tokiwa Sogo's camp.

On the contrary, he did it to provide Qiu Shanlian with an excuse to choose to fight with peace of mind.

……

……

St. Central Hospital Building.

Looking out of the window at Shinji Kido and Ryuuga who had successfully transformed themselves, Gates was about to jump out of the broken window, when suddenly a very sharp sound wave pierced his head, making him unable to stop his movements. , holding his head in pain.

Then, before Gates could react, behind him, a bat-shaped mirror monster suddenly rushed out of the observation window of the nearest ward door to him, and with a scream, it slammed him into the window. shards of glass.

Gates made a defensive move subconsciously.

But the sense of weightlessness that was supposed to come only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

At the same time, the sharp sound wave that hit his brain disappeared.

This allowed Gates to quickly recover.

He looked around, his expression froze.

The text upside down from the real world, the many mirror monsters, and the sky above where the figures of Shinji Kido and Ryuga disappeared, all told Gates that he is now in the mirror world.

"squeak--"

At this moment, a cry that he had heard when he was bumped into the mirror world suddenly sounded.

Looking up in the direction of the voice, I saw a bat-shaped mirror monster looking down at him menacingly in the air.

The contracted beast of night riding, Dark Wings.

Gates, who recognized the identity of the bat-shaped mirror monster above, subconsciously took out the night rider's knight watch.

At the same time, he turned around suddenly and looked to the other side of the street.

In that direction, Qiu Shanlian was walking towards him holding Yeqi's card case in one hand.
