Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

In the past 13 years, Super Boy, the alien ring ghost, has been doing one thing most of the time.

Go Beyond Orochi!

However, the so-called "big snake" does not specifically refer to a specific demonized demon, but a phenomenon, just like typhoons and earthquakes in nature, a natural phenomenon that will bring disasters to human civilization.

Specifically, it is a mass of disorderly evil energy that has been accumulated over the years, surpassing the limit that the container can withstand, escaping, infecting the earth, and thus giving birth to countless demonic demons, raging violently like a group of snakes phenomena of the world.

So here comes the problem...

How should the alien ringing ghost surpass a natural phenomenon?

The answer is, conquer it!
Over the years, the strange ringing ghost has been trying to become its master by using the sound of drums to resonate with the evil energy contained under the earth that he forcibly restrained, and then injecting his own will into it.

In fact, he has succeeded.

This is something that the warrior organization and even Sogo Tokiwa have not realized yet.

They didn't know that as early as a year ago, the strange ring ghost had successfully conquered the big snake.

Then, the so-called sea of ​​evil mist spreads outward, and the number of demonized sprites increases. It is neither the second stage of the plan, nor is it some kind of ghost that paves the way for itself to become the king of demonized sprites. Some of the by-products of Hibiki's quest to find answers to the questions Ji left him.

In other words, becoming a king has never been the pursuit of the strange ring ghost.

Finding the answer to the question Ji left him is his goal.

[Why me? 】

[What is the meaning of living? 】

However, when the heterogeneous ring ghost conquered Orochi, he found that simply proving his strength by conquering something could not help him find the answer to the question. On the contrary, after completing this matter, he only felt unprecedented emptiness and confusion. Been doing a pointless thing for ten years.

That nearly broke him.

Under such circumstances, he made an extremely crazy move.

He... abandoned his body!
He fused his true spirit and evil energy into one, but actively allowed the evil energy to spread in order to achieve the effect of "incarnating into the earth", not for destruction, but to feel those who were born on the earth and finally buried In the reincarnation of life on the earth, I try to use this to realize the true meaning of life.

[——As long as I watch more, even I can understand a little bit of what it means to be alive and what the meaning of living is, right? ]
With such a simple, naive, naive, and somewhat inferior thought, the alien ringing ghost let his true spirit spread out along with the spread of evil energy.

During this process, he can feel that his sight line is getting more and more, and his field of vision is getting wider and wider.

He saw a lot of life.

Many... different lives.

He watched the lives of those beings.

He accompanies the growth of those lives.

Gradually, he began to be happy for the joy of those lives, and sad for the sorrow of those lives.

He seemed to be them.

Thus, he changed from one consciousness to many consciousnesses.

Then, like this, I don't know how long...

He completely forgot about himself.

until……

Right now!

……

……

Under the ground purification ceremony.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom——!"

As the spreading evil energy was recompressed by the barrier of clear sound, the sound of drums that had been shrouding here since 13 years ago suddenly became chaotic.

The memories of countless lives, together with the screams of every demonized sprite when they were killed, merged into the core group of evil energy under the ground purification ceremony, making that group of evil energy with the presence of a strange ringing ghost watch The core was beating extremely unstable, and a painful and suppressed roar came from within.

Although it was painful, the alien ringing ghost gradually woke up from the long "sleep" in the process of passively regaining the consciousness that had been actively diffused.

During the turmoil, in the earth purification ceremony field, the center of the constantly shaking ground suddenly cracked upwards and protruded a stone platform, and it rose higher and higher, gradually turning into a stone tablet.

The earth and stone buried on the stele rustled and fell amidst the vibrations, revealing the ancient ghost writing underneath.

That text records the deeds of the ancient ghosts successfully suppressing the big snake.

Very familiar, right?

That's right, this stone tablet is exactly the Taiko stele that was used to hold the earth purification ceremony back then, but after the ceremony was taken away by the different kind of Hibiki, it disappeared together with the different kind of Hibiki!
It has reappeared in the land used for the purification ritual of the earth.

At the same time, outside the ritual field, the trees of the Forest of Wood Spirits shook violently, like twisted and struggling snakes. The sound of the fierce collision of leaves was the painful neighing of the snakes.

In the sky with this as the background, a crimson tram suddenly passed through a space-time wormhole and entered reality.

It uses the "Matter Generation Irradiation Device" to lay rails in the sky in real time and drive to the ground.

It passed in front of the rioting Wood Spirit Forest, but after that, it sailed to the sky again without stopping, passing through a newly-appeared space-time wormhole, and disappearing into reality.

However, in front of the wood spirit forest it had just passed, there were two figures remaining.

Gates.

Izumi Iori.

They just got off the Zio-Liner, looked at the weird chaos in front of them, and listened to the terrifying sound coming from the front, which could only remind people of bad things and giant monsters, with serious expressions.

"The big snake... is waking up..."

Izumi Iori said with a heavy heart.

In contrast, Gates has no such emotion.

"It's just as expected."

He took out the Geiz Revive knight watch and started it.

"That's why we're here, isn't it?"

【Geiz Revive! 】

【Strong! 】

Hearing this, Iori Izumi stared at Gates, who was inserting the knight watch into the drive on his waist, and was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.

"you're right……"

He took out the transformed ghost flute, raised it to his lips, and continued talking.

"That's exactly what we're here to fix."

[Call~~! 】

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the flute, Iori Izumi transformed into a ghost in the gust of wind.

"drink!"

He raised his palm, split the blast with the knife in his hand, and completed the transformation with Gates respectively.

Power blow ghost!
Resolute Geiz Revive!

Then, the hum of the chainsaw suddenly sounded in Gates' hands.

Facing Izumi Iori's gaze, Gates, dressed in Geiz Revive armor, shook the chainsaw in his hand and said with a smile:

"Cut down trees, of course this is the most suitable."

Izumi Iori was speechless.

He grinned, then retracted his gaze, took a deep breath and exhaled, pulled out the sound baton worn at his waist - Mountain Back Wind, looked at the rioting and twisted wood spirit forest ahead, and said to Gates:
"Let's go."
