Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

The key words for Chapter 750 are...

Tralock a few days later.

Everything is settled.

Regarding Amazon, Nozama Pharmaceuticals' collaboration with relevant departments has officially come to an end.

The newly extermination squad successfully retired and joined the security team of Nozama Pharmaceuticals.

Shito Makoto led the original extermination squad members to form Special Security Team One, while Team Two was composed of Mizusawa Yu's original recruitment squad, but the team leader was temporarily replaced by the former recruitment squad vice-captain.

Yu Mizusawa, the last to undergo the mimicry transformation surgery, visited the stable city that had returned to its original appearance after all the Amazons who had been transformed into humans. Reflecting on the future, she felt deeply inadequate. Thus, under the arrangement of Reika Mizusawa, the new chairman of Nozama Pharmaceuticals, she went to university for further studies.

Meanwhile, after handing over the cooperation matters with relevant departments, Mizusawa Mizuki chose to return to school.

The moment she stepped back into the school gates, she was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of disorientation, as if waking from a dream.

In my dream, there are mysterious elders, crazy monsters, passionate battles, and secretive games.

After waking up from the dream, she returned to reality and to the school.

However, Mizusawa Mizuki quickly regained her senses and smiled again.

Because she knew it wasn't a dream.

The growth she experienced was genuine.

She can now calmly deal with the people and things that once made her feel incredibly depressed.

Mizusawa Mizuki strolled toward the teaching building.

When a classmate who recognized Mizusawa saw her, a look of surprise appeared on their face. Recalling the recent rumors circulating in the class that Miss Mizusawa was afraid to go to school because of them, they couldn't help but walk towards Mizusawa with a smug look on their faces.

The two passed by each other.

bang——

The classmate lay on his back on the ground, looking completely bewildered.

[What the hell! What just happened?]
The confusion even overwhelmed the pain in his body, and it took him a long time to realize what was happening before he grimaced and cried out in pain.

In the afternoon, she gathered a group of henchmen, preparing to teach Mizusawa Mizuki a lesson and regain her face.

then……

the next day.

Every single one of these people either dropped out of school or transferred schools.

In short, none of them were able to stay at this school to continue their studies.

This incident terrified others.

From then on, no one in the school dared to provoke Mizusawa Mizuki.

Even the teacher couldn't help but feel uneasy when facing Mizusawa Mizuki, thinking that he must not offend this young lady.

Mizusawa Mizuki found her ideal learning environment and quietly absorbed all kinds of knowledge.

When she has a spare moment, thinking of that senior who not only left this world but also left people's memories, Mizusawa Mizuki can't help but want to write something.

She wanted to write down the story of how the Demon King saved the city.

Even if it's just in the form of a story, she wants to make the world remember that lost history.

After discussing it with her brother, Yuu Mizusawa, Mizusawa decided to record the story of "Amazons," which breaks the cycle of reincarnation, in the form of a novel, under the guise of fiction.

So, how should we start?

Mizusawa Mizuki propped her cheek with her hand, tilting her head to look at the scenery outside the window. In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the heavy rain on the day they first met...

……

……

The rain was pattering.

Takayama Jin turned his gaze away from the window.

He couldn't help but think of the man who disappeared in that heavy rain known as "Tralok".

——Demon King, Tokiwa Shogo.

His disappearance was like flipping a switch on some kind of response mechanism, erasing people's memories of him.

In the entire laboratory, no one except him remembered that man.

Furthermore, even in previous surveillance footage and written records, there was no image or text related to that man.

The achievements that should have belonged to the Demon King were transferred to others in a "reasonable" way.

Takayama Jin, who independently developed the biomimetic transformation surgery, recruited and eliminated all Mizusawa Yuu and the extermination squad from Amazon, and purged and took control of Mizusawa Mizuki and Mizusawa Reika from Nozama Pharmaceuticals...

None of these events showed any trace of the Demon King's involvement.

It's as if the Demon King never existed in the first place.

The Demon King has disappeared from the history of this world.

But does the Demon King really not exist?
Do not!
The Demon King is a real person.

Because he wasn't the only one who still remembered that lost history.

With this in mind, Jin Takayama finally made up his mind to go and see the evidence that another demon king had once existed.

He let out a long sigh, got up and left the laboratory, took the elevator, and went to the bottom floor.

He then continued down the hidden staircase.

At the very bottom of that bottom, there is a prison cell that has been forgotten.

It was a dark room without any light.

Following the Demon King's orders, Takayama Jin locked the Zerg root in the prison the day before the Traloc Plan was to be executed.

Records can be erased, memories can be altered, but will such a living alien life disappear? Standing in front of the dark room, Takayama Jin couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, that alien insect is likely the only existing evidence in the world, besides memories, that proves the Demon King truly existed.

Takayama Jin was somewhat afraid of the reality that this evidence had also disappeared...

But in the end, Jin Takayama did not waver in the decision he had made.

He took a deep breath, took out the key, and inserted it into the lock.

click-

Takayama Jin turned the key and pushed open the door.

As the door opened, the dim light from the corridor shone into the room, illuminating Negishi, who was chained to a metal frame.

Takayama Jin blinked, and then a healthy smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Haha! As expected, the Demon King really exists!"

He said excitedly.

Stimulated by the light, Negishi's blank, lifeless eyes flickered slightly, then his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had suddenly risen from the dead. He lunged forward, violently vibrating the chains and hissing, "Let me out—! Let me out—!! Let me out—!!!"
"Please, Demon King, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have used humans for experiments, and I shouldn't have locked Tendou Souji in that dark room, Demon King! I really know I was wrong!"

"So, please don't lock me up here anymore...!"

As Jin Takayama listened to these repeated pleas for mercy, the image of Tokiwa Sougo's last farewell to him involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Thinking about the words Tokiwa Sougo had said at that time, a strange expression appeared on his face.

An eye for an eye...
[No double the return...]
[I'm just too kind...]
Good heavens, those words were spoken without any discount whatsoever!
Is this the real Demon King?
Takayama Jin shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, feeling that he had gained a new understanding of Tokiwa Sougo, and at the same time, he completely gave up the idea of ​​talking to Negishi.

He locked the door again, shutting out Negishi's shouts to another world, and turned to leave.

Takayama Jin thought to himself that he would never come here again.

But he forgot to consider whether not extending the sentence would be considered a double punishment for Negishi.

……

……

inside the door.

Darkness descended once more.

The disappearing lights seemed to have taken away the last glimmer of hope in Negishi's eyes, causing his shouts to gradually fade away.

And at this moment——

Da da da!
The illusory ticking of a clock suddenly echoed through the void.

In the darkness, a figure that had appeared out of nowhere stood silently before the shore where time had stopped.

Swartz!

"I've taken back the Aberrant Kabuto Watch."

He reached out and pulled his hand back, now holding a phantom alien knight watch.

The image on the watch head is none other than Another Rider Kabuto!

As for Negishi's opinion? That's not important.

"I won't ask for your permission."

Swartz turned around with a cold expression and cast his gaze at Jin Takayama, who was also frozen in the state of time stop outside the door.

The Demon King altered the history of this world, which originally had no Kamen Rider, and planted the seed of Kamen Rider.

However, the departure of the Demon King also deprived the anchor of this "new history" of its greatest support.

Once those few remaining anchors of memory are removed, history will make a comeback, restoring everything to its rightful state.

Naturally, the seeds of Kamen Rider sown by the Demon King will wither and die.

Without new possibilities for Kamen Rider, the future Oma Zi-O will not become stronger.

and so……

Should we get rid of this guy named Takayama Jin first?

Swartz had no interest in rescuing Negishi, but if he could reduce the power of the future Oma Zi-O by simply lifting a finger, he might as well spend a little more time in this world.

However, just as he was about to take that step, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the silent realm of time stop.

Wow – Wow –

That was the sound of pages turning.

"Woz!"

In an instant, Swartz realized the source of the sound of pages turning.

Clearly, Tokiwa Sougo had been wary of him and had left behind people who could stop him.

This prompted Swartz to let out a cold laugh.

"Ha, what a good lackey!"

Having said that, Swartz, realizing that things were hopeless, disappeared into a summoned curtain of aurora, leaving decisively.

Outside the door, Woz smiled smugly and snapped shut the book "The Tale of the Demon's Descent".

"It was an honor."

Feeling immensely proud, Woz waved his hand to open his own wormhole, then leisurely stepped into the dark time tunnel, simultaneously deactivating time stop.

He had finished reading this newly added chapter to "The Tale of the Demon's Descent" and was now going to record another new chapter of history.

To be honest, Woz couldn't wait to witness his Demon King inherit the power of the next legendary knight.

"—The key word is, vampire..."
