Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

The zerg are strong.

This strength not only refers to their inhuman strength, super speed, and various innate skills after molting, but also because they share an extremely disgusting racial ability-mimicry.

That ability not only allows the zerg to mimic humans, it also allows them to copy everything about the mimic target at the same time.

Physical state, memory, habits, knowledge...

This mimicry is almost perfect.

Therefore, unless the mimic zerg takes the initiative to reveal its identity, it will be difficult for humans to distinguish the mimic zerg from the group.

Therefore, as long as the Zerg still exists in human society, you will never know whether the people closest to you have been replaced by the Zerg.

But that's not the scariest.

The most terrifying thing is that some people are still humans, but their hearts have turned into insects.

No matter how difficult it is to distinguish a zerg mimic, it is not human.

As long as you distinguish carefully, you can always find the differences.

For example, beating them one by one like Gates and distinguishing them by feel is an extremely simple and crude method.

For another example, modified humans transplanted with protozoan genes can identify the true form of the mimic zerg by touch.

But the betrayer is really a more perfect "mimicry" than the insect mimicry.

Those traitors who fear the zerg, worship the zerg, and want to become the zerg are the targets of the new Zect trial.

Judge the traitors.

Hunting zerg that kill and mimic humans.

This has been the course of action of Xinsheng Zect since its establishment.

Jindai Ken said that he had just completed a trial.

This means that someone has betrayed his group again.

Moreover, the betrayer is probably one of the new Zects.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Jindai Sword to come back with blood on his face.

This suggests that he is the traitor who was executed nearby.

Thinking of this, Kagami Shin's face showed no expression at all.

Over the past ten years, Kaga Mixin, who would have been sad and angry because of this, has become hardened by the disappointments again and again.

Now when he heard about the trial, he didn't even have the desire to ask Kamishiro Sword.

"Well, hard work."

This was Kagami Shin's only and final response to this matter.

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking towards the base of the new Zect.

Behind him, Kamishiro Ken glanced at the blood-stained bandages on Kagami Shin's body. He calmed his expression, sighed, and followed silently.

From Kagami Shin's body, he could vaguely see the shadow of another himself in his memory.

Resentment, hatred, persistence.

The only difference is that the him in the memory is already dead, but Kagami Xin is not.

His heart is still alive.

The numbness he showed was more due to his physical condition.

Therefore, Kamishiro Sword recognizes Kagami Shin.

Therefore, Kagami Arata is the leader of the new Zect.

The Divine Sword, which provided the base for the new Zect, only took on the role of judge.

After entering the new Zect base, the first thing that greeted us was a patrol with weapons.

"leader."

"Mr. Jindai."

When the members of the patrol team saw Kagami Arata and Jindai Ken, they immediately stood up and said hello.

They all looked at Kagami Shin with fervent admiration and faith.

Mars!

The back figure of being knocked down time and time again but standing up countless times and never falling again is deeply engraved in the hearts of every member who has fought with Kagami Shin.

Strong strength, unyielding will, and undying faith.

In their eyes, their leader is an invincible god.

This is a level of respect that even the swords of the Gods have not received.

However, after entering the living area, those who begged the new Zect members to live here because they were too afraid of the zerg, as well as the family members of the new Zect members, looked at Kagami Arata with extremely complicated eyes.

Gratitude, hatred, fear, even hatred.

"Monsters!" In private, some people have been calling Kagami Shin and the other knights of the new Zect that way.

Perhaps it was because some of them had seen the strange insect body under the knight's mask;

Perhaps it's because their family members died in the battle against the Zerg as New Zect combatants, while Kagami Arata and the others are still alive;

Or maybe it's because Kagami Arata is the son of the leader of the Zect organization, and all of them here have been treated ruthlessly by Zect more or less when they encountered Zerg...

In short, no matter what the reason is, such a voice has always existed.

However, on this basis, few of them proposed to leave the new Zect base.

Because they fear the zerg.

This fear prevents them from living outside.

But they justifiably complained and hated Kagami, who was protecting them.

Kamishiro Sword doesn't have a good impression of those people at all.

Those people were also afraid of the cruelty of the God's Sword's judgment methods.

Jindai Ken once suggested to Kagami Shin that all those people should be forcibly expelled, including the families of those members who died in the battle who could not be remembered.

Jindai Jian said that he believed in the Demon King and was cruel.

He didn't need Kagami Arata's approval, he just needed him not to object.

However, Kagami refused.

"If hating me can be the motivation for them to continue living, don't worry, just let them continue to hate me."

This is how Kaga Mihin responded to Kamishiro Sword.

At that time, Kamishiro Ken looked helplessly at Kagami Arata, whose arms were already covered with bandages, and asked him: "Then, what if this hatred prompted them to commit a substantive attack or betrayal?"

This time, Kagami thought for a whole night, and then gave his answer the next day with a strong smell of blood on his body: "Those who hurt others will be chased away, and those who betrayed will be killed!"

Just like the trial that the Divine Sword had just completed.

Passing through the living area, you arrive at the stations of various hunting teams.

The Hell Team, the Thunderfly Team, and the hunting and ruling Sword and Scorpion Team.

Further down is the residence of the knights and their families.

Kagami's new chief's residence is also there.

When he returned to his room, the first thing Kagami had to do was to light the charcoal fire, insert the iron stick into it, and then start to untie the bloody bandages on his body one by one.

Under the bandage, there were old and new scars that had been burned, and barely an inch of intact skin could be seen.

And between those ugly scars, there are green biological tissues that are completely unlike human beings, which are incompatible with the ugly but black human flesh and blood around them.

That is, the skin and flesh tissue of the protozoa!

Kagami Arata is a modified person implanted with protozoan genes. His body will continuously mutate into protozoa while using the knight system.

however,
until today!

Until today after countless battles!

At a time when everyone who had undergone transformation surgeries had turned into protozoa, Kagami Arata was still human despite being scarred.

His human genes are still stubbornly resisting the erosion of protozoal genes.

But even so, his body will still have alienated flesh and blood tissue.

Looking at the newly grown protozoan biological tissues, Kagami's mind was almost uncontrollable, and the memories of the past resurfaced again.

It was the image of him questioning his father about the information he heard during the operation;

It is the scene of his father apologetically and sincerely confessing to him;

It is the image of his father repeating "Xin, don't forget that you are human, you are human!" when his body begins to alienate;

It was he who found the suicide note at home one day when his father became more and more unfamiliar, and then saw the line in the suicide note: "I was wrong, the protozoa are also zerg, sorry, Xin, but please, even if I die , you must continue to fight for humanity." The picture of the handwriting;

After escaping from Zect, he saw on the news a picture of a protozoa wearing his father's human skin issuing a wanted order against him...

"Alien! Insect!"

Thinking of this, Kagami's dull expression became extremely ferocious, and her bloodshot pupils were full of boiling hatred and terrifying obsession.

"I am human!"

He pulled out the dagger he carried with him and without hesitation, cut out the alienated biological tissues on his body.

Along with the process of the blood constantly dripping on the ground changing from green to red, there were Kagami Shin's obsessive whispers like roars.

【Don’t forget you are human】

"I will never turn into a zerg!"

【We must continue to fight for humanity】

"I will fight for mankind to the end as a human being!" (End of this chapter)
