Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

"Damn Demon King!!!"

Swaruz looked at the familiar aura lingering around the group of people in front of him, and his eyes turned red with anger.

He knows it!

He knows it!

The reason why he couldn't retrieve the Alien Armor Watch like before was because of the Demon King. It was the Demon King who hid the Alien Armor Watch!

But it's his!

That is his special knight watch!

Thinking of this, Swaruz was both shocked and angry.

All his previous plans, hopes, and confidence came from the pieces of alien knight watches that were constantly scattered and collected. But now, he suddenly discovered... It turned out that the Demon King could make him unable to collect the alien knight watches that he scattered! ?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked and angry Swaruz became.

At the same time, I became more and more frightened and uneasy.

He could feel that something was collapsing in his heart.

It is something called "faith" or "pillar".

Malice gnawed at his sanity.

He was willing to indulge himself.

But the pride deep in my heart resists this indulgence.

The clarity and rationality that he had regained at a great cost made Swaruzzi feel extremely painful, but he had to regard it as the last straw and hold on to it tightly.

Because, if he didn't have this clarity and rationality, let alone the ambition to become king in the future, he might not even be qualified to face the Demon King... A lesson like that from Tendo Souji would be enough!

Swaruz tried his best to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind...

He is now severely injured, and the Demon King is becoming more powerful...

That demon king...

hateful!

That devil, devil, devil, devil, devil...

Thinking of this, at a certain moment, Swaruz's thoughts suddenly stopped.

He suddenly realized that since some time ago, he no longer addressed Tokiwa Sougo as "Zi-O (Zi-O)" to distinguish him from the future Oma Zi-O, but the same "Demon King"!

He had unknowingly confused the present Tokiwa Sougo with the future Oma Zi-O...

But in fact, the current Zi-O is by no means invincible like the future Demon King!

The current Zi-O may be very powerful, but he still does not have the ability to overturn the chessboard.

It's like if Zi-O wants to correct the history of knights, he must collect knight watches in the history of alien knights step by step... The Time Management Bureau must have already laid an ambush to force Zi-O to continue to participate.

Yes, that's right, that's definitely it!

Before the last moment, even if he and Zi-O want to stop, the Time Management Bureau and Oma Zi-O will not let them stop!

He still has a chance...

Swaruz gradually calmed down.

As long as Zi-O can't catch him, he still has a chance to take advantage of the situation!

Zi-O will take the initiative to reveal the location of the Alien Kabuto Watch to him... Yes, after Zi-O accepts the "reality", he will do so.

And the reason why he could find this place, perhaps, was the result of Zi-O having accepted "reality"!

Swartz looked down at the extermination team who were entering the scrapyard in front of him. There was an extremely cold look on his pale face, and his bloodshot eyes added a bit of madness to him.

He thought, he had to give it a try, to see if his guess was right...

Swartz turned his gaze away.

In another direction, Mizusawa Yu's recruitment team was moving in another direction with a clear goal.

From them, Swartz not only smelled the same Zi-O aura as on the Exorcist Team, but also smelled a still immature, but extremely familiar stench...

"——Masked Rider!"

……

……

While walking, Mizusawa You suddenly felt an inexplicable chill and stopped.

He frowned and looked around, but found nothing. Even the sudden chill he had just felt seemed like an illusion and never reappeared.

But the question is, is it really an illusion?

"team leader?"

The puzzled question from his teammates brought Mizusawa Yu back to his senses.

Mizusawa Yu explained: "For a moment just now, I felt like I was stared at by a poisonous snake, but now it's gone..."

Hearing this, Sorimachi Noboru, Kamikawa Seiji, and Iishiya also looked around carefully, but they also found nothing.

However, based on their trust in Mizusawa Yu, they still secretly increased their vigilance.

Then the four of them continued on their journey.

With Iishiha's powerful perception of Amazon's aura, Mizusawa Yu and the others quickly found the Amazon on the verge of awakening in a corner.

It was a young man wearing loose sportswear.

He sat on a wooden bench in the corner with a blank stare, a shadow falling on him.

When you get closer, you can see that he is breathing slightly and his forehead is covered with sweat.

He seemed to be making a last-ditch effort to fill his increasingly hungry stomach with ordinary food.

But unfortunately, ordinary food is completely unable to satisfy the hunger of Amazon cells.

He should have discovered and accepted this.

So he took a bite of the hot dog in his hand and stopped moving.

He had desperately accepted the reality, quietly waiting for the moment when the surging hunger would devour his fragile humanity.

If someone other than Mizuzawa Yu had come to find him at this time, I'm sure that this Amazon on the verge of awakening would have officially awakened immediately...

Awaken, hurt people, and then be driven away.

This seems to have become Amazon's inescapable fate.

It seems as if Amazon was born to be expelled one day. But now, this sad fate is no longer a shackle that Amazon cannot escape.

And all this is because of the arrival of one person.

That was his predecessor as Kamen Rider, the king he followed...

Whenever he thought of this, Mizusawa You's heavy mood of witnessing this fateful scene would turn into gratitude and relief, and the more he understood, the more grateful he was.

"...You... hurry up and leave..."

The Amazon Moose, who was on the verge of awakening, realized that the people in front of him were also Amazons, and couldn't help but remind them.

He is about to wake up.

He will attract those who will drive him out.

Danger... Get out of here quickly...

No matter how many times he saw such a scene, Mizusawa Yuu could never remain calm.

Of course he wouldn't just leave.

"Don't worry, you won't wake up." Mizusawa Yu took out the inhibitor syringe and stepped forward to comfort him, "Besides, you will get a new life and a new beginning!"

However, just as Mizusawa Yu was about to inject the inhibitor into Amazon, who was on the verge of awakening...

Da da da--!

The sound of an illusory clock hand moving could be heard.

Time stops here.

Mizusawa You's pupils suddenly contracted.

He - can't move!

who is it! ?

Someone walked past him and came in front of him openly.

"Remember my name—Swaruz, the Time Robber!"

Swaruz stood in front of Mizusawa Yu and leaned over. His gloomy and pale face pressed down like a thick dark cloud, filling Mizusawa Yu's trembling pupils.

Those bloodshot eyes gave Mizusawa You a great shock.

How lucid and crazy that is!

Even the most contradictory Amazon has never had such a look.

"Remember what I look like, and then, tell him that I'm here for a date."

Swaruz's hoarse words pierced Mizusawa Yu's ears like the hissing of a poisonous snake.

Mizusawa Yu did not answer, nor could he answer, but he almost instantly understood who the "he" this strange man was referring to was - the Demon King, Tokiwa Sougo!

"Very good, it seems you have remembered it."

Swaruz stood up straight, and under Mizusawa Yu's angry gaze, he pulled the inhibitor syringe out of his hand and crushed it.

"Finally, let's do a little test."

Swaruz took out a blank Knight watch.

"I won't ask for your permission!"

He pointed the blank knight watch at Mizusawa Yu.

He wanted to draw on the knight's energy from this man to create a new, unique knight's watch.

If successful, then the Amazon next to it that is about to awaken will be a ready-made candidate for the alien knight.

And if it fails...

Haha, it’s better to fail!

Swartz's mouth curled into an expectant smile, and he pressed the start button of the Blank Knight's watch hard.

Da da da--

The hands on the Blank Knight's watch started to move, but the next moment, a ding sound was heard.

A silver-and-gold Zi-O clock suddenly appeared behind Mizusawa Yu!

As the bell rang, the blank knight watch in Swaruz's hand, which was about to become an alien knight watch, exploded instantly, blowing him away.

However, there was no anger on the face of Swaruz who was blown away, only a hearty laugh.

“Hahahahahahahaha——!!!

"Zi-Ou! You and I are both chess pieces! Both chess pieces!

"Even if you already have the power to stop me from making a new alien knight watch, what can you do?

"There's nothing you can do! You can only continue to play with me! Continue to play with me!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--!!!!"

Swaruz disappeared in the midst of wild laughter.

Time resumes its flow.

The aftermath of the explosion of the Blank Knight Watch pushed Mizusawa Yu and others away.

"Quick! Throw the extra suppressants to me-!"

Before Mizusawa You could get up, anxious voices urging him were heard.

However, it's too late...

On the other side, Amazon slowly climbed up from the ground, with steam gushing out of its body.

He has awakened.

“——that bastard!”

Mizusawa Yu gritted his teeth and cursed Swaruz, then without hesitation, he immediately turned the handle of the Amazon drive.

"Transform!"

There was no other way. Next, he could only take coercive measures to tie up the Amazon and take it to the laboratory for mimicry transformation surgery.

……

……

at the same time.

Outside the Nozama Research Institute, Tokiwa Sougo looked back, then gave Swartz a word in response with an unhappy look on his face.

"Bah!" (End of chapter)
