Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 404 The scenery under this red sky has not changed for thousands of years

"For the past thousand years, what have I done...?"

Just when Adnis couldn't help sighing, Denton in his mind spoke again.

"Take a good look at this decayed and dead city, Adnis, the answer is already very clear, isn't it? Obviously, you have done nothing in the past thousand years!"

This sentence made Adnis completely unable to refute, like a sharp sword piercing his heart, making him close his eyes tightly in pain.

But it's not waiting for Adnis to reflect carefully.

A shout full of fear, fear and anger sounded from behind him.

"Denton! Why are you here? Could it be that you did all of this!?"

That was Kailo's voice.

Adnis, who realized this, was taken aback for a moment, then opened his eyes instantly, and turned around.

"Denton..."

Looking at the familiar figure standing behind him, Adenis' lips trembled twice, and he murmured.

It turned out that the previous sentence was not a fantasy in Adnis's mind, but something that actually happened in the real world.

"it's me."

Facing Adenis' gaze, Denton opened his arms and answered with a smile.

"I'm back, Adnis, long time no see."

The answer was to Adnes.

"Denton!!"

Kairo, who was ignored, yelled angrily again.

"answer my question--!"

At the same time, he clenched his fist and walked quickly towards Denton, intending to subdue Denton.

However, just as Jialuo took two steps, his body suddenly stopped.

Da da da!
Kairo's time stopped.

Ur, who was standing beside Denton, smiled and lowered his raised palm.

And from the beginning to the end, Denton never glanced at Jiayiluo.

His eyes were always on Adenis.

But Adenis turned away.

He looked at Kailo.

For Denton's strength and Denton's monster-like transformation back then, until now, Adenis still remembers it vividly.

He knew very well that the monster-like strength was definitely not something that Jiayiluo, who had just woken up from a long hibernation and was in a weak state, could deal with it.

It's just that before Adenis could stop Kailo and tell him not to be impulsive, Kailo had already been stopped by Ur.

Looking at Kailo who seemed to have been pressed the pause button at this moment, Adnis frowned deeply.

"Denton, what did you do to Kailo?"

Adnis confronts Denton.

"What did you do? Hmph!"

Denton snorted coldly when he heard this, and his face turned cold.

"A thousand years have passed, Adnis, you have not changed at all in your self-proclaimed justice to criticize me."

After the words fell, Denton stepped forward.

at the same time.

Ur, who was standing behind and not going forward with Denton, offered to explain.

"That, I did it."

I saw Ur raised his hand, pointed to Jiayiluo, and then spread his hands, apologizing to Adenis with a smile without any sign of apology.

"I'm sorry, his appearance just now was really terrible, so I can only let him be quiet for a while."

Adenis' attention was attracted by Ur's words.

When he came back to his senses, Denton had already walked to Adnis's side, standing beside him, looking down.

The bustling city that has appeared in my mind countless times is in sharp contrast with the decayed and dilapidated ruins in front of me.

Presented in Denton's mind.

Let the anger in his heart surge like a wave.

"Look, Adnis, this city is full of ruins, empty, without a single person, and there are scars left by that war everywhere... So, when I first came back, I thought I had never never left."

Turning his head, Denton looked at Adenis.

"Obviously a thousand years have passed, hasn't it?"

Denton asked puzzled.

"Hey, Adenis, facing a city like this every day, has it never occurred to you to do something about it?"

After finishing speaking, Denton couldn't help being stunned to see the sudden embarrassment and remorse on Adnis's face.

"Hello, isn't it, Adnes?"

Suddenly, a very funny guess rose from Denton's heart.

"Could it be that, for the past thousand years, you have been staying between praying, not going anywhere, just praying?"

At this point, Denton looked at Adnis, who had remained silent all the time, and couldn't even say a word of rebuttal. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help raising his hand to his forehead, and let out a sneer.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Denton raised his head, and moved the palm of his forehead to the position of his eyes.

"Hey, hey, Adnis, did I remember wrongly?

"Your ideal is not to create a 'world where no one dies', but to create a 'world where no one dies'?
"It's so ridiculous! Adnis, is this what you call an ideal world? This is obviously hell!"

Denton let go, lowered his head, looked Adenis in the eyes, and roared.

"Is this how you lead the future of the beholder world? Stop kidding! Adnis, this is the beholder world, not your own fantasy world!

"Do you think it will get better by itself just by praying?

"If that's the case, why did you escape from the prayer room just now?

"Is it because the Great Eye has abandoned you?

"Haha, what a pity."

Denton laughed, and then that smile turned blank in an instant.

"Deserved!"

"..."

Adnis was speechless.

A moment of silence.

Denton looked again at the ruins of the city below, and spoke again.

"Sure enough, you are no longer worthy to be the leader of the beholder world.

"If I was the one who won back then, I would never let this city rot and die like you did.

"And this red sky..."

Denton looked up.

"Adenis, how do you plan to face the red death disease that is about to show its fangs again?"

Word to here.

Suddenly, Denton seemed to be back in the past, and made serious suggestions to Adnis.

"Adenis, please let me reform the people."

After a pause, Denton continued.

"Or, until now, you still think I'm wrong?"

Adenis looked at Denton's sincerely requesting face, and seemed to be back in the past in a trance.

At that time, he, Denton and Edith were close friends and partners.

"Give me... some time, let me think about it."

Adnis took a deep breath and looked up at the red sky.

This time, Adnis did not directly refuse.

Denton finally had a genuine smile on his lips.

"Okay, this time tomorrow, or here, I'll wait for your answer."

After the words fell, Denton's figure turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared.

At the same time, Ur, who had been standing behind them, left at the same time.

Kairo's time resumes running.

Thoughts return.

Look around.

But at the scene at this time, Denton was nowhere to be seen.

"The Great..."

He wanted to ask Adnis about Denton.

But as soon as he spoke, Adenis stopped him by raising his hand.

"Denton has left."

Although he interrupted Kailo's words, Adnis did not ignore Kailo's question.

He took the initiative to answer, and then ordered Kailuo.

"Go to Edith, Gairo, and tell him about it."

"Yes!"

Kailuo took the order and left quickly.

then.

Only Adnis was left on this high platform.

Like a sculpture, looking up at the red sky above, motionless.
