Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Plates of carefully prepared steaks were served on the table.

The guests looked down, with physical desire and psychological resistance hitting them at the same time, giving their numb expressions a distorted color.

But slowly, their expressions became more relaxed.

During this period of time, they were imprisoned here and raised like piglets, waiting for the day to be slaughtered.

There is no hope for their future, only despair.

All because they had eaten [meat].

But they clearly ate "meat" because they didn't want to die, but now, "meat" has become the only reason for their death...

Being Amazon, they don't understand why this is wrong.

But they knew that this was why they would die.

Because the terrifying demon king used this "guilt" to sentence them to death.

Therefore, although they did not understand, they knew very clearly that every piece of "meat" thereafter would increase their "sin" and strengthen the chains that would drag them towards death.

The wait for death is long and painful.

The shadow of death is increasing their fear and tormenting their body and mind every moment.

Now, finally, it's all over.

They have no other choice, and their moment of liberation will come.

No knife or fork was used.

First, one customer reached out for the steak, and then all the customers took the steak in their hands and swallowed it in big bites.

then……

boom!
The sudden severe pain made the guests unable to control themselves for a moment. In their struggle to vent their pain, they destroyed the table and knocked over the chairs.

The steaks infused with the Amazon gas solvent took effect within their bodies, rapidly destroying their biological tissues.

Corrosive steam rose from the guests, tearing their humanoid skin and revealing their inhuman appearance.

At the last moment of their lives, they all stopped venting their anger. Instead of feeling resentful or angry, they endured the pain and struggled to stand up straight. They bowed deeply to the chef Amazon who was clenching his fists in front of them, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you for your care during this time!"

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Steam rises.

Chef Amazon also showed Amazon's gesture and bowed back.

"The hospitality...is not good enough..."

After a long time, when Chef Amazon stood up, there were no guests in the box.

He was stunned for a while, then he picked up a relatively intact table, put a chair in place, took out the steak reserved for himself and placed it on the table, then sat down and started eating it piece by piece with a knife and fork.

Corrosive gases were coming out of him, and the Amazon gas had begun to melt his body.

But he didn't utter a single cry of pain until his body was completely consumed by the Amazon gas.

He remained silent, ate his last meal as an Amazon, and came to the end of his life.

He has no regrets about coming into this world as an Amazon.

The only person who witnessed their end was Mizusawa Mitsuki, who watched it all without saying a word.

As a witness, it was hard for her not to be moved by this scene.

She finally realized thoroughly that she was really destroying a race, not just an experimental subject.

All kinds of thoughts turned into complex emotions piling up in her heart, and Mizusawa Mitsuki suddenly wanted to talk to someone.

She turned and walked quickly out of the box.

But there was no one outside the door.

Tokiwa Sougo has already left.

Mizusawa Mizuki was stunned for a moment, then slowly closed her eyes and raised her head.

Crackling, crackling, crackling——!
The sound of heavy raindrops hitting the ground filled the hall.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier.

outside the store.

Drones are constantly spreading solvents for Amazon gas.

The solvent mixed with water and evaporated, and the smoke gradually enveloped the entire city.

Rainwater mixed with Amazon gas collects on the ground and flows into the sewer system.

then.

The mist of Amazon gas continued to spread in the sewers.

Amazon, who was hiding in the sewer, was caught up by the fog and drowned.

The screams of pain sounded and then fell silent. The new extermination team moved in the fog, following the direction of the screams to confirm the target's survival status.

Because of the early launch of the Tlaloc Plan, the mission of the new extermination squad changed from "hunting" to "confirming and finishing off".

Yes, confirm whether the target has been silenced. If not, then send them on their way.

The reason for this change is that after recruiting some Amazon and human volunteers for skin tests, the researchers found that the adjusted Amazon gas, although free of harmful effects on humans, no longer had absolute lethality to Amazon.

This may result in a small number of Amazons developing antibodies to Amazon gas during the implementation of the Tlaloc Plan, thus becoming immune to the damage caused by Amazon gas.

Mizusawa Yu is the proof of this conclusion.

Because during the physical examination after the test, he was found to have antibodies to Amazon gas.

Therefore, in the new extermination team at this time, only Mizusawa Yuu has not undergone surgery as a reserve just in case, and Amazon cells are still retained in his body.

The others, whether it was Mamoru or the Amazon members of the original recruitment class, had already undergone mimicry transformation surgery in advance and turned into humans.

The new extermination squad stopped in their tracks.

Unexpectedly but not unexpectedly, the Amazon, which had overcome its remaining resistance to Amazon gas, still showed up.

They used all their strength to climb out of hell, but what awaited them was not a new life, but the hunters who followed closely behind.

Strictly speaking, the remaining Amazons are partly responsible for taking this desperate path because they have been pressing on.

Therefore, when facing these Amazons who were struggling to survive, even though he knew that they had committed unforgivable crimes against humans, Shito Shinya still subconsciously felt pity for them.

But no matter how reluctant he is, Shito Makoto will not back down when faced with something that must be done.

Bullets loaded.

Shito Makoto took a deep breath and exhaled, and was about to give the order to attack when he couldn't help but frowned.

A hand blocked his way.

Shito Shin turned his head in the direction where the hand was extending and saw Mizusawa Yuu who had been silent since he came down.

"Shui Ze, what do you want to do?"

"Captain Shito, do you think it is just to expel them?"

"…What do you want to do?"

"As expected, even you, Captain Shido, can't firmly believe that this is a just thing."

After saying that, Mizusawa Yu turned around and smiled at Shito Makoto.

"They were created without permission by humans, and then abandoned and killed because they did not meet expectations... Thank you, Captain Shido, thank you for not thinking that this was a just and legitimate thing to do."

Having said this, Mizusawa Yu turned around and continued speaking as he walked forward.

“I was ignorant before.

“Later, Tokiwa-senpai taught me a lot of truths.

“During this period, I have done a lot and thought a lot.

"Wanting to kill is wrong, so I will fight to protect innocent people, which is just and in line with the spirit of chivalry.

“But now, facing these Amazons who made the wrong choices because of our pressure, I can’t convince myself that this is just.

“It’s just that, in order to protect my companions who have already made another choice, this is something I have to do.

“Hesitation will only make things worse.

"If that's the case, then at least I, as Amazon, should be the one to put an end to this."

As Mizusawa Yu continued his narration, the wrinkles between Shito Makoto's brows deepened, but there was no longer any dissatisfaction in his heart.

He just couldn't help but sigh: "Shui Ze, are you really sure you want to do this?"

"Ah, I'm sure...it's better to say that this is something that only I can do, and it will be most meaningful.

“So, let me personally complete the funeral for [Amazon]

"Hen... No, Amazon!!!"

boom!
Steam gushing, armored.

Expel the class backwards.

Mizusawa Yuu moved forward.

The remaining Amazons seemed to have sensed their inescapable fate and did not retreat. Instead, they roared and charged towards Mizusawa Yu.

[Running fast against the wind~~ screaming at the top of one’s lungs~~ in this city sneered at by wild beasts~~~ fate is to devour or be devoured...]

……

……

above the ground.

Tokiwa Sougo retracted his gaze, sighed softly, raised his hand to open the door of time and space, and stepped into it. (End of this chapter)
