Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 441 Humans Are Always Repeating The Same Mistakes
Time... family?
To be honest, Sogo Tokiwa was really shocked by what Adenis said.

How... did it become like this?
Isn't this the world of beholders?
Sogo Tokiwa appeared in front of Adnis, still in the human form covered in golden light.

Adnis knelt down respectfully on the ground, the appearance of the golden radiance made him unable to bear the tighter fit of his forehead to the ground.

Inside, I was full of anticipation and apprehension.

The scene was quiet for a long time.

Finally, Adenis heard the reply that made him feel extremely excited in an instant.

"can."

Tokiwa Sogo lowered his eyes, and after finishing speaking lightly, his figure disappeared.

He did not refuse Adnes' request.

No matter what the future holds, at least at this time, Adnis and the others are sincerely attached, so he is not afraid to accept them.

However, in this way, the policy he set before needs to be rethought.

But first, he decided to reflect on the information he had previously ignored.

……

……

Tokiwa Sogo disappeared and walked on the streets of the city.

Sometimes I stop to listen to the chat, and sometimes I go forward and look around.

All the people who stand in front of him will subconsciously move out of the way to make way for him when he approaches.

In this regard, those people themselves are not aware of it.

In the process, Sogo Tokiwa discovered that all the buildings in this city have more or less undergone a small transformation, adding some "round" designs.

But those "circles" are not the "circles" of the eyes, but the "circles" of the clock.

What they respect and worship are not round objects, but things that can reflect time.

And their worship of time comes from the phrase "the king of time" that Sogo Tokiwa told them at the beginning.

Pushing it forward, it can even be said that when Sogo Tokiwa met Adenis and the others for the first time with the self-cognition of King Shi, it was already doomed to have such a historical trend...

However, why does he always have the feeling of being calculated?

"...Is that you? The Great Eye."

"Do not."

The Great Eye denied.

"The only person who can influence your perception is yourself."

"..." Sogo Tokiwa.

The mentality suddenly collapsed a little.

Is that what he thought?
Thinking of this, Sogo Tokiwa, who couldn't help but start to twitch at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to his forehead, and quietly disappeared on the street.

then,

A few years later.

……

……

"Wow-wow-"

Accompanied by the cry of a baby.

Adenis' wife, Alicia, went into labor successfully and gave birth to a little boy.

Adenis named his youngest son - Alan.

Maintaining a state of invisibility, Sogo Tokiwa leaned against the wall outside the door, listening for a while to the joyful laughter from the birth of new life, and feeling their longing and expectations for the future from the bottom of their hearts , with a soft sigh.

The figure quietly dissipated.

In the past few years, he no longer chooses to stand on the sidelines, but observes the lives of Adenis and the others in depth, and constantly understands them.

During this period, Sogo Tokiwa has quietly entered the dreams of many people more than once.

He asked those people in his dream.

"If, if this continues, you may die, will you be willing to give up such a convenient life now?"

The choice of most people is-

"No! The Lord of Time will protect us!"

They don't want to.

Among them, Adnis is also included.

So Tokiwa Sogo asked again.

"Then what if the time king is asking you to make a choice?"

After the words fell, what appeared in the hearts of those people was not anxiety, but anger.

"No! The King of Time wouldn't say such a thing!"

After anger comes hatred.

"I understand, the King of Time you speak of is not the King of Time at all, but a demon pretending to be the King of Time!"

These people's heartfelt reactions made Sogo Tokiwa understand one thing.

Their worship of the King of Time is, in essence, their belief in God, not their trust in the King.

Tokiwa Shogo's behavior of not showing himself in front of others aggravated this belief even more.

Therefore, they will believe in the King of Time because of the miraculous grace that the King of Time brought them, and they will also abandon this belief because the King of Time no longer satisfies their pursuit of a better life.

Create gods without authorization, and push gods down the altar.

Humans keep repeating the same mistakes.

Because of this, Sogo Tokiwa, who had thought over and over again, finally decided to only leave Adnis with a warning instead of using his own power to force him to make the choice he wanted.

So, Sogo Tokiwa gave Adnis a warning one day after he prayed.

At that time, Adnis was silent for a long time.

Then on the second day, I prayed like this:

"Great King of Time, please protect our future from disasters!"

"..."

Sogo Tokiwa did not respond to this.

then,

A few years later.

……

……

Facing Sogo Tokiwa's silent refusal, Adenis finally got lucky and chose to continue that kind of life.

He still prays every day.

Express gratitude, ask for forgiveness, and pray for protection.

In this regard, Tokiwa Sogo responded with silence and did not make any response.

Like, what he did in the beginning.

The only difference is that he has been watching the world, instead of choosing not to look at it most of the time like at the beginning.

In this way, the sky of this world, under the watchful eyes of Sogo Tokiwa, and Adnis's fluke, unknowingly, turned into an ominous dark red.

Then, the mysterious disease began to spread.

The red death disease came.

It finally came to this world.

Many people have fallen because of it.

Adenis immediately ordered people to set up a medical center on the street to isolate and treat those suffering from the red death disease.

However, even this did not prevent the spread of the Red Death.

In addition, the medical institute has never been able to develop a cure for the red death disease.

In the city, people quickly became panicked.

Heartbreak caused by speculation and suspicion.

Can only wait for the endless despair of death.

Faced with this tragic picture, Sogo Tokiwa wanted to close his eyes, but in the end, he chose to continue watching.

Tokiwa Sogo told himself that this journey would eventually end, and he would always leave.

Rather than waiting for him to leave and these people to repeat the mistakes of the beholder world, it is better to let them fall through this fall first while he is there.

Even though this will inevitably cost many people sacrifices, at least, at this time, there is still him to give them the bottom line, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Tokiwa Sogo found that he was much calmer than he imagined.

This made him unable to bear a wry smile.

"Oh, I am indeed the Demon King."

Standing at the highest point in the city, Tokiwa Sogo looked down at everything below, and slowly raised his hand, like plucking the strings of a piano, gently plucking.

The invisible ripples spread out.

Down below, the despair shrouded in that city grew stronger...
