Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadows

Chapter 20 Professor Leonard and the Collapse of the Monster World
A few days later, Sera took Nobuhiko to Professor Leonard's location.

"Professor Leonard is a member of the Cullen tribe. They have lived in the Valley of Miracles for generations. However, the Clexis Empire occupied the Valley of Miracles, and the Cullen tribe can only live in caves."

As Sera walked, she introduced Professor Leonard's background to Nobuhiko.

Professor Leonard was a professor at the Chrysis Imperial University. Because he was dissatisfied with the brutal rule of Emperor Chrysis, he repeatedly wrote letters and was eventually exiled and became a slave.

Fortunately, the anti-imperial guerrillas rescued him, and Professor Leonard decided to join the guerrillas with his tribe to resist the rule of the Chrysis Empire.

Many high-tech weapons in the guerrillas were manufactured by this professor, which shows how powerful he is.

Nobuhiko followed Sera and soon came to a larger camp. Compared with the last temporary camp, this camp was obviously more prosperous and even built many wooden houses and fortresses. Nobuhiko also saw such things as The presence of heavy weapons such as tanks and helicopters.

Because of Serra's help, no one interrogated him. In the end, Nobuhiko met Professor Leonard in a cave.

Professor Leonard looks very similar to humans, but the difference is that he has two long tentacles on the top of his head, which represents his identity as a Cullen tribe.

Although it was a cave, the equipment inside was surprisingly high-end. There were not only computers, but also various high-tech research equipment such as microscopes, most of which Nobuhiko could not recognize.

After hearing Sera explain his intention, Professor Leonard readily agreed:
"This is no problem, but the transmission device is currently replenishing energy. It will take about a day."

"I understand, thank you very much!"

Nobuhiko quickly bowed and thanked him.

Professor Leonard waved his hand:
"You're welcome. We are all comrades who have gathered together for the same purpose. In fact, we have helped mankind a long time ago - I heard that Laidron designed by Walder is now helping mankind, right?"

"You know Ledron?"

"Well, Wald is my colleague. We both teach at Clexis Imperial University, but he majors in physics and I major in quantum physics. He and I petitioned the emperor together, but we were both demoted as slaves. We originally agreed to live together, but in the end he..."

At this point, Professor Leonard burst into tears.

Nobuhiko knew that Professor Walder who gave Kotaro the design had already died in the hands of the Wind Knight. It had to be said that many peace-loving people in the monster world gave Kotaro considerable help.

People from the Monster Realm...
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Nobuhiko's mind, and he thought of something - in the finale of RX, after RX defeated Emperor Clesis, a big explosion occurred in the background of the monster world.

What does that represent?
Was the entire monster world destroyed with Emperor Clexis?

For a moment, Nobuhiko's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously looked outside the door - the guerrillas coming and going were nervously preparing for battle. They were fighting to regain their homeland.

After defeating Emperor Clecy, will these people also be buried with the emperor?
Nobuhiko was distracted for a moment. Sierra and Leonard also saw something was wrong with Nobuhiko. Leonard said in confusion:
"what happened?"

"No, I just thought of something suddenly."

Nobuhiko reacted and did not express his doubts, but asked thoughtfully:
"Professor Leonard, I heard General Jagu say that the Clexis Empire is so eager to invade the earth because the monster world will collapse soon. Is this true?"

As soon as these words came out, Sera's expression changed instantly and she subconsciously looked at Professor Leonard.

Professor Leonard frowned and replied:
"Since the emergence of the Chrysis Empire, the environment of the Monster World has been drastically destroyed. There is no doubt about this, but the Monster World has completely collapsed... Even the industry of the Chrysis Empire cannot be like this. .”

"But General Jagu did say that. In fact, I also have a guess. Professor Leonard, do you think the collapse of the monster world is related to Emperor Clexis?"

In fact, Nobuhiko had never heard General Jiagu say such a thing, but RX did mention in the later period that the monster world would completely collapse in half a year.

Thinking of this, Nobuhiko asked this question.After hearing this, Professor Leonard fell into deep thought and murmured:

"Emperor Chrysis, Emperor Chrysis, Emperor, 1000 years ago...we have it!"

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around and came to the computer. After turning on the computer, he searched carefully. Seeing his concentration, neither Nobuhiko nor Sera disturbed him.

Ten minutes later, Professor Leonard suddenly slapped his thigh:
"This is it!"

"professor?"

"This is the article. Decker's guess is correct. No wonder..."

Professor Leonard murmured, and then he told Nobuhiko and Sera the whole story.

It turned out that there was a professor at the Clexis Empire University, Decker, who was specifically exploring minerals for the Clexis Empire. He accidentally discovered that the temperature of the lava in the center of the Monster Realm had dropped dramatically compared to 1000 years ago. He suspected that Is there something that sucks away the energy of the lava?

He wrote this conjecture into a paper and published it in the school journal, but who knew that not long after, Professor Decker would be accused of anti-national crimes by the Clexis Empire and sent to prison.

At that time, many people were speculating whether Decker had offended a certain powerful person. Now it seems that he inadvertently sensed the core of the problem.

After telling all this, Professor Leonard looked at Nobuhiko and asked aloud:
"Akiyuki Nobuhiko, are you sure this is what General Jiagu said?"

"Well, I pretended to have lost my memory and followed his orders. This is what he said accidentally."

Looking at Nobuhiko's affirmative expression, Leonard frowned:
"So, it is really possible that he is the emperor. He appeared in the world of monsters 1000 years ago!"

"Professor, what should we do now? Inform the commander!"

Sera, who overheard this important incident, was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, Professor Leonard stopped her in time:

"No, this is just my conjecture. There is no substantial evidence. I will tell them personally after I find the evidence. If I announce it rashly, it will cause panic."

"····I see."

Sierra also reacted and said quickly.

At the same time, Professor Leonard said to Nobuhiko:
"Nobuhiko Akizuki, I will investigate the Monster World, but I'll leave it to you on the Earth side. You must find out the truth of the matter. There are 50 billion innocent residents in the Monster World!"

"Don't worry, Professor!"

Nobuhiko nodded quickly and said.

boom--!
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion outside, and the three of them were suddenly startled. Sierra quickly ran out of the door and asked:

"What happened?"

"People from the Krysis Empire have found this place!"

"what?!"

ps: The conjecture about the collapse of the monster world is my second guess.
