Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 439 I wait to think, so I wait
"It's okay, respect, I've lived a happy life and I don't have any regrets."

Looking at the sad and lost face of Sky Temple Venerable, Shen Haicheng comforted him again.

"And even so, our hearts are still tightly bound, aren't we?"

"--Um!"

Hearing these words, the Sky Temple Master returned to his senses, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and nodded heavily.

"I will take Brother Cheng's share, as well as Huayin's, Yalan's, and everyone's thoughts, and together they will continue infinitely into the future!"

"Yes, that's it. This is the Sky Temple Venerable I know."

Looking at the resolute Sky Temple Venerable who was free from disappointment, Shen Haicheng nodded with a smile.

"So, I won't disappear, Zun—I'll be by your side no matter what time it is."

These words made Tiantian Temple Master caress his heart.

"I think, therefore I am?"

Shen Haicheng heard the whisper of Tiantian Temple, and the expression on his face became more and more relieved.

"Yes, as long as you remember me, I will live forever in your heart."

He knew that Sky Temple Venerable would no longer be sad because of his own affairs.

Thinking of this, Shen Haicheng lowered his head, and then was slightly taken aback.

"Is it almost time?"

He looked at his body that had begun to become transparent, whispered, then looked back at Tiantian Temple, and said with a smile.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye, my lord."

"Brother Cheng..."

When Tiantian Temple heard the words, his voice tightened, but immediately, he relaxed his expression, with a smile on his face, and said to Shen Haicheng.

"Well, goodbye, Brother Cheng."

Shen Haicheng also responded with a smile.

"Goodbye, sir."

After the words fell, Shen Haicheng's figure disappeared in front of Tiantian Temple.

Looking at the place where Shen Haicheng disappeared, thinking about Shen Haicheng's previous words, the smile that had just been raised on the face of Tiantian Temple fell, and after a moment of silence, he showed a relieved expression again, took a breath, and looked up at the sky , then go through the gate and continue walking towards the Big Sky Temple.

As he moved forward, Tiantian Temple saw many familiar people in the temple.

Kisarazu Narita pruning shrubs.

Hachioji Shibuya who cleans the garden.

Yamauchi Onari.

Akari Tsukimura.

as well as,

A stranger who was chatting with Akari Tsukimura...

and many more! ! !

Suddenly, Sky Temple Zun froze in place.

He looked at the woman who was talking to Akari Tsukimura... Looking at the woman who was so strange but so familiar, her nasal cavity was sour, and an unbelievable voice with a little crying sound came from his trembling lips issue.

"Mother……?"

The voice was not loud, as if he was afraid that if it was louder, it would scare away the scene in front of him.

But even so, Yuri Tenkuji, who was talking to Akari Tsukimura, heard the voice of Tenkuji Monarch.

It was amazing, as if there was a telepathy between them.

Yuri Tenkuji stopped talking, looked away from Akari Tsukimura, turned her head, and looked in the direction of Tenkuji Monarch.

"What's wrong, sir."

Yuri Tenkuji was puzzled, and then asked gently with a little worry.

"Why do you see my mother's expression like this?"

While speaking, she got up and walked towards the sky temple.

The Sky Temple Venerable stared blankly at the Sky Temple Lily who was approaching him, slowly raised his hand, and stretched out his fingers tremblingly towards him.

However, as soon as Tiantian Temple Zun stretched out his hand halfway, it tended to retract again.

He fears……

He was afraid that the mother in front of him was just a phantom, which would dissipate with a light touch.

But right now.

Lily of the Sky Temple suddenly reached out, grabbed the hand that the Sky Temple Lord was about to withdraw, and held it tightly.

Then, he took a step forward and hugged the Sky Monastery in his arms.

Warm and real.

Really!

This scene is real!
A sudden sense of great happiness struck, causing Tiantian Temple Venerable's tears to burst in an instant.

He hugged Sky Temple Lily back and kept calling in a low voice.

"Mom, mom, mom..."

Faced with such a reaction from the Sky Temple Lord, Sky Temple Baihe was slightly stunned, but did not ask anything at this time.

She just gently caressed the back of Tiantian Temple Venerable, smiled, and responded with a voice.

"Well, I'm here."

At the same time, another big and warm hand fell on the head of Tiantian Sizun.

Sky Temple Venerable raised his head, and through his eyes blurred by tears, he saw a figure that made him even more excited.

"Father!"

Yes, that figure is exactly the Sky Temple Dragon who walked out of the Buddha Hall at some unknown time.

He did not reprimand the Sky Temple Venerable for being weak at this time.

On the contrary, he looked at the sky temple priest who was crying like this, but there was a smile slowly appearing on his usually serious face.

I saw him nodding to the Sky Temple Venerable, with pride and distress coexisting in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but that expression said it all.

——Thanks for your hard work, respect, I am proud of you!

……

……

the other side.

Nine to five.

Gates' room.

A spiraling gray scarf emerged first, and then that gray scarf was put away by a hand, revealing Gates and Woz underneath.

Pulling the gray scarf he was holding behind his back, Woz looked back at Gates, said nothing, just smiled, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Gates immediately called Woz.

"Wait! Why are we the only ones back? Where's Shi Wang?"

Woz paused slightly and chuckled.

"Heh, His Majesty the Demon King has other things to do. I and other mortals, just follow and don't explore."

After speaking, he opened the door and left directly.

Click!

The door is closed.

He isolated the picture of Gates who remained in the room, clenched his fists and his expression changed inexplicably.

……

……

downstairs.

Woz politely bowed slightly to Junichiro Tokiwa behind the maintenance station as a farewell.

Tokiwa Junichiro subconsciously smiled and nodded in response.

He didn't react until Woz had already left.

"Eh!? The one just now, is Zhuang Wu's friend? When did he come?"

Junichiro Tokiwa, who had been working at the maintenance station at the door, couldn't help taking off his glasses, rubbing his eyes, and had a little doubt about his memory of today.

And at the same time Junichiro Tokiwa took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, an illusory ghost walked in from the door, bent slightly towards him, and then walked upstairs.

……

……

Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door, which woke Gates' mind that was constantly floating.

He opened the door, his eyes widened slightly.

"Mr. Cheng!"

I saw the phantom Shen Haicheng standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Gates."

He greeted Gates, then raised his hand, and handed Gates a piece of real things that were incompatible with his illusory body.

"As agreed, I'll give it to you."

That's exactly what Specter's knight watch is.

But compared to that knight watch, Gates is now more concerned about Shen Haicheng's situation.

"Mr. Cheng, your body...why? Isn't Shi Wang already..."

"Well, His Majesty the King of Time has indeed corrected the time."

Shen Haicheng explained to Gates.

"A thousand years is too long, so I chose to become an ordinary human being."

It was said that Gates, who had read through the history of beholders in the Ghost comic book, quickly understood the reason.

"Yes... that's it..."

Then, Gates glanced at the knight watch in Shen Haicheng's hand and refused.

"Mr. Cheng, the reason why you can show up in this world is because you have this knight's watch with you, right? If that's the case, then I can't accept this..."

"No, you're going to take it, Gates."

Shen Haicheng interrupted Gates.

"I have finished my life, but your life is still long... Remember? I said that the practice of the way of survival requires strength! Don't you want to help His Majesty the King of Time and become his friend? , Witness his kingly way?
"Then, you need strength!
"A power greater than anyone else!
"Only in this way can you always stand by his side and fight with him.

"So, Gates, you need it now more than I do."

Gates, who was touched by Makoto Fukami's words, couldn't help but think of what Men Yashi said to him in the beholder world.

So, after a moment of silence, he finally slowly raised his hand and took the Specter knight watch from Shen Haicheng's hand.

"I see, Mr. Cheng, I will make good use of it."

"Well, that's fine."

Shen Haicheng nodded with a smile.

Then, he said goodbye to Gates.

"So... goodbye, Gates."

"Goodbye, Mr. Cheng."

As Gates' voice fell, Shen Haicheng's illusory figure completely disappeared.

Only Gates was still standing there, holding a Specter knight watch, speechless for a long time.

at this time.

The door of Tokiwa Sogo's room suddenly opened from the inside.

Gates, who was pulled back from his daze by the sound of the door opening, immediately took a step forward and turned his head to look.

"Time……"

Then, he happened to meet Tsukiyomi who came out of Tokiwa Sogo's room with a stack of books in his arms.

"..."

"..."

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

After a pause, Yuedu pretended not to see anything, retracted his gaze, and closed the door.

Click!

Lock it with a key.

Turning around, passing by Gates, he still didn't say anything, but tried his best to hold his expression, and went downstairs very calmly.

dong dong dong dong-

The footsteps slowed down first and then hurriedly.

Of course, this is not a big deal.

As for Gates, the scene of Tsukiyomi using the key on her own key chain to lock the door of Tokiwa Sogo's room kept appearing in his mind.

Once, twice, three times, four times...

"Heh, hehe..."

Gates suddenly sneered twice, turned back to the room, and closed the door forcefully.

Bang!
The door slammed loudly in the empty corridor.

downstairs.

Hearing the loud closing sound of the door upstairs, Yuedu couldn't help trembling slightly, and shrank his neck slightly.

After a while, she leaned her body and tilted her head to look upstairs.

The long hair was like a waterfall, sliding straight from one side of her shoulder to the other, scattered vertically.

It wasn't until he was sure that Gates didn't mean to run down to argue with her, that he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed expression.

Then, she suddenly remembered something, holding the key chain in her hand, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Zi-O World Famous Painting——

"The Devil's Rebels".
