The Dimensional Journey of the Bad Knight

Because they have already carried too many sins.

And the sin must be liquidated.

Even if he wants to hurt the person he loves the most for this, he can only do it now.Moreover, this matter can only be done by him as the cause.

If he hadn't died back then, Mio wouldn't have committed such unspeakable crimes.

Of course, the more hateful thing is Ai Zac.But he is dead.

"I'm here to return your love, Mio..."

Shidou whispered, his voice trembling a little.

But as he touched the belt with his hands, he gritted his teeth and cleared his hesitation.

"Henshin——!!"

All the confusion was shattered with a sound of transformation.

Two huge clocks rose from both sides of Shidou's body, each outlining the two ends of his history engraved on his body.

Afterwards, history merged, the clock disintegrated, and time wrapped around Shidou's body under the shackles of the strap, turning into his power.

[Kamen Rider! Shido! 】

As the Japanese characters of "Shidou" were slapped on the face, unprecedented power filled Shidou's whole body, as if the gears that had been misplaced all this time had returned to their original shape.

Now he is a shido, not a vessel.

Not as a container for carrying power, but as a person wielding power, Shidou stands here.

The previous strength gap between him and Mio is obvious. Even if he enters a new stage, he only liberates the full power that he had not liberated in the past, not to mention any qualitative change. It is simply impossible to defeat Mio.

But what about this?

Shidou wanted to stop Mio no matter what, and couldn't let her continue to make mistakes.

"Really...? Why, why is that?"

Seeing Shidou's resolute transformation, Mio shook her head in disbelief after a brief moment of stupefaction, showing a sad expression.

She knew it meant rejection.

"Mio, me too...Actually, I really want to meet you too. If we switch positions, I'm afraid I will be like you, even if it means getting blood on my hands."

During the short time that he resonated with Mio's spiritual power and witnessed the past, Shidou saw everything she did.

Divide spiritual energy into spiritual crystals, and conduct experiments to create spirits.

After discovering that human beings cannot accept spirit crystals, they decided to continue using humans to refine spirit crystals until elves could be born.

Except for Ten Fragrance, which is a spirit that was naturally born purely by accident when the spirit crystal was placed in the neighborhood, the rest of the spirits count as one, and they all survived after a great sacrifice.

At the feet of the existence called "Itsuka Shidou", there are countless corpses of young girls.

Countless people died because of the crystallization of the spirit, and all of this was just for Shinji to be resurrected in a state that could accompany Mio forever.

Weak human beings cannot stay with Mio for a long time, that's why Mio has to make such a huge plan to prepare for Shinshi's new life.

Mio is an elf, an existence considered to be a god.It didn't take her much time to master human language and knowledge, and she even saw through parts that even current humans couldn't touch.

But even Mio like this is spiritually similar to a human being—because she met Shinji when she was blank, and Shinji dyed her a human color.

Back then, Mio was as kind as Shinji.During the thirty years of acting to retrieve Shinshi, Mio has hardly ever acted with malice, let alone felt pleasure or enjoying the process of dying.

Shidou could feel that emotion in Mio's heart.

She has deep respect and gratitude for all the teenage girls who have died or will die because of her, and will be saddened by their deaths.

Even knowing that it is not acceptable to let others sacrifice for her own purpose, Mio still did not stop her actions.Because it's all about the truth.

As long as it is for this purpose, nothing else matters.

It was such a heavy and suffocating strong emotion that it almost made Shidou cry.

"Mio, it's not okay to sacrifice others——if I say that, you will definitely ask me, 'Then what should I do'."

Without the truth, Mio would have no meaning of existence.

She is so strong that she can't die, but she can't forget anything with the passage of time like a human being.

She can't do anything but chase the true master.

Compared with thirty years ago, Mio has changed a lot, but she hasn't changed.

She is still the elf who was just born, a life as pure as a child.

"I can't give you the answer to this question. Unfortunately, after all, I'm not omnipotent. How can I know that you can't find the answer after so long."

He said so, but Shidou vaguely had an answer in his heart.

Mio can't kill herself, but she can weaken herself and create an existence that can kill her weak self.

Perhaps, even what happened today was actually in Mio's calculations.

She must be very tired.

"It doesn't matter, really. This is my sin, my punishment, there is no need to bother Zhen. You can do what you want according to your ideas."
