I may be a fake Ultraman

2009 years.

Back in time, Tsukuyomi came to the hospital to investigate Tokiwa Sougo.

This is after the bus explosion.

Only two children survived inside the car.

Everyone thought it was a miracle.

The bus was wrecked, but two children were only injured and not in life-threatening danger. What else could it be but a miracle?
One of the two children is Tokiwa Sougo.

Uncle Tokiwa Junichiro decides to adopt Tokiwa Sougo to comfort his wounded heart.

Tsukuyomi did not go up to disturb them.

She suspects that the bus explosion is related to Tokiwa Sougo, and that his survival is likely due to the power of Zi-O.

At this time, Tsukuyomi discovered another surviving child, Kakogawa Hiryu.

But Kakogawa Hiryu had no one by his side.

Tsukuyomi felt sympathy for Kakogawa Hiryu's plight, but she didn't know how to help him.

Until Tsukuyomi communicated with the future Gates across time and space and learned that Kakogawa Hiryu was the future Another Zi-O.

Gates is still unable to use the power of the resurrected Gates.

Therefore, Tsukuyomi decided to continue jumping through time to go back to before the accident bus crash and investigate the whole truth.

Perhaps, we can uncover the secrets of Zi-O from that time!
This is the only thing Tsukuyomi can do.

in the ward.

Kakogawa Hiryu is painful.

An explosion killed his parents, leaving him an orphan with no one to care for him.

A miracle? He would rather die with his parents.

He had just witnessed that the other child who had survived alongside him was accompanied by someone.

This dealt another blow to Kakogawa Hiryu's fragile little heart.

Moreover, Kakogawa Hiryu clearly remembered that before he lost consciousness, a woman in white called out the name "Shougo".

Then the woman fired her gun.

He fell into a coma.

When I regained consciousness, I was in the hospital.

If I remember correctly, the other child who survived with him was named Sougo.

"Zhuangwu! Zhuangwu! Zhuangwu!"

"It must be related to that guy named Sougo!"

"I will absolutely, absolutely not let him get away with this!"

Those who deserved to die didn't, but those who didn't deserve to die all did. How could Kakogawa Hiryu let this go?

The grief of losing his parents and the oppressive loneliness are causing the young boy in the hospital ward to undergo a silent transformation—perhaps an outburst, or perhaps a pathological change.

But at this moment.

There was a knock on the door of the ward from the outside.

This brings the boy back to his senses.

Before the boy could reply, someone spoke.

"I'm coming in~"

Kakogawa Hiryu looked towards the door, and a young man in a pink shirt walked into the ward.

After the other person entered the ward, they closed the door behind them, which made Kakogawa Hiryu somewhat uneasy.

"Who are you?" Kakogawa Hiryu frowned and asked in a bad tone.

The older brother came up to him and spoke with a smile.

"Young man, do you want to know the truth? Do you want the power to change everything? Do you want... to save everyone?"

Kakogawa Hiryu stared blankly at the older brother who was talking to him.

What the other party said was somewhat incomprehensible to the young Kakogawa Hiryu.

Finally, he asked.

"What on earth are you going to say?"

"I'm giving you a chance to become king, to save everyone who died in this accident, including your parents. Will you do it?"

"Why should I trust you?"

Kakogawa Hiryu said angrily.

Although he was young, he was not a child who knew nothing. He knew that the dead could not be brought back to life, so he felt that the other party was playing a trick on him!

The other party offered no explanation, but simply snapped their fingers.

A mysterious force acted upon Kakogawa Hiryu. Kakogawa Hiryu saw his injuries rapidly heal, all the pain disappear, and he quickly regained his health.

"Is this... is this magic?"

Kakogawa Hiryu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"This is the power that comes with becoming king—to turn back time and rewrite history!" the older brother explained patiently.

Kakogawa Hiryu finally realized that the other party was not joking, so he looked at his older brother without hesitation and shouted, "As long as you can bring my parents back to life, I will do anything you ask!"

The older brother smiled, a very happy smile.

……

October 24, 2009!
Tsukuyomi travels through time again, returning to the day the bus accident occurred.

He even boarded the bus himself.

The driver looked up and adjusted his hat.

"The bus is about to depart!"

And this driver was none other than Tsukasa Kadoya!

Although Tsukasa Kadoya had long since left the era of Zi-O, he had not actually given up investigating Zi-O.

They also began investigating the events surrounding the birth of Zi-O.

It just so happened that I encountered Tsukuyomi.

This time, Tsukasa Kadoya took over the driver's position. He refused to believe that with his driving skills, the bus could have an accident.

Then, Swartz appeared on the bus.

It turns out that this trip was Swartz's plan.

All the passengers on the bus were invited by Swartz.

They received a tour voucher for strawberry picking.

What they all had in common was that every family on the bus had a child born in 2000!

Swartz referred to these children as "candidates for the Demon King."

This Swartz from this period is clearly not the same Swartz who formed the Time Jackers team and created the Another Riders, but rather someone from an earlier time.

Even Swartz didn't recognize Tsukuyomi.

Upon seeing Tsukuyomi in the car, Swartz showed no concern whatsoever, treating her as just a passerby.

This means that Swartz had his eye on Zi-O all along!

Swartz only knew that Zi-O was born in 2000, with his birthday in April, but he didn't know Zi-O's true identity.

So Swartz used the most rudimentary method: checking each one individually.

Finally, he gathered a group of eligible children together and planned to cause a bus accident in order to trigger the power of Zi-O during the crisis!
Therefore, he specifically chose children of this age for testing, because children of this age have purer emotions and enough willpower to unleash the power of Zi-O.

Under Swarovski's control, the bus started on its own and headed straight out of the lane.

Tsukasa Kadoya now realized that the bus accident wasn't the driver's fault, but rather that someone had tampered with it!
He could only grip the steering wheel tightly, trying his best to adjust the direction of the bus in hopes of stabilizing the bus and driving safely on the road.

Why didn't you step on the brakes?
Because the Swarovski cut the brake cable!

Most of the people on the bus panicked.

At that moment, a brave warrior rushed out and headed straight for Swartz, intending to teach Swartz a lesson.

Then the hero was grabbed by the neck and lifted up by Swartz.

That's right, this hero is none other than the young Tokiwa Sougo.

Tsukuyomi finally couldn't stand it anymore and decisively raised her gun, demanding that Swartz put down Tokiwa Sougo and end the test.

Swartz realized that a time traveler had arrived to stop him. He noted down this time and Tsukuyomi's identity.

But the future Swartz did not come to stop Tsukuyomi.

This means that Tsukuyomi did not actually affect Swartz's actions!

Tsukuyomi fired her gun decisively, but it was easily blocked by Swartz, whose burst of power knocked young Kakogawa Hiryu unconscious.

This caused Kakogawa Hiryu to miss the opportunity to witness the truth.

Therefore, Kakogawa Hiryu's memory is that Tsukuyomi fired a gun, he fell unconscious, and was rescued in the hospital.

Following this logic, Tsukuyomi firing her gun is the root cause of all the tragedies!

According to Kakogawa Hiryu's pieced-together memories, Tsukuyomi fired the gun to kill Sougo.

It's because Tsukuyomi was shouting "Sougo" when she fired the gun.

As for Tsukuyomi's act of saving people, and the matter of Swartz... I'm sorry, young Kakogawa Hiryu doesn't remember it very clearly due to fear and panic.

To prevent Tsukuyomi from disturbing him, Swartz took all the children and left, smashing the back of the bus as he went, causing it to burst into flames.

An explosion could occur at any moment.

All the passengers on the train, except for Tsukuyomi and Tsukasa Kadoya, were frozen in time, with absolutely no chance to save themselves. (End of Chapter)
