Kamen Rider Evolution

"You two take one each, and I'll take care of the two in the middle." Jiang Xia said, turning slightly sideways.

Their current standing posture is with Katchido Zangetsu as the center, while Kuzuba Kota and Wudao Guang are actually guarding on both sides.

It is said that the person in the C position is the core of the team. Now there is no doubt that Jiang Xia is the core of this team.

"Well, it's our turn on the stage next." Kuzuya Kota grinned and uttered the most familiar opening remarks.

"Okay, Brother Jiang Xia!" Wu Daoming also tightly grasped the sonic bow and arrow in his hand and agreed.

At this moment, the sound of metal clashing broke out at the highest point in the city.

"boom!"

A sound like the sound of a huge bell rang out from Zhan Ji Lingma's body. He wanted to do something, but he could not keep up with the opponent's speed at all.

Katsudoki Zangetsu, wearing heavy armor, was so fast that he didn't even feel anything unusual as his heavy punch that could shatter metal hit him directly in the chest.

Zhan Ji Lingma's body was bent down like a curled up dead shrimp.

His eyeballs bulged under his visor and he opened his mouth silently. He felt as if his chest was hit by a huge tree.

The shock brought by the powerful force was spreading from his chest to every inch of his bones and muscles, until his entire body sounded like it was on the verge of falling apart.

The huge impact force caused his entire body to shut down. If he didn't have very good fitness habits, and if he hadn't adjusted the data of his Genesis drive to the highest level, that blow would have directly made him lose his combat ability.

But the attack is not over yet. When Zhan Ji Lingma's body bends due to the huge pain, his body will be suspended in the air for a short time.

Because Jiang Xia's punch was directed from bottom to top.

When the body is knocked into the air and is suspended in the air for a short period of time, and the brain is almost shut down by the intense pain, it is the perfect time to attack.

Although this only lasts for half a second, it is impossible to make any reaction during this period.

Jiang Xia never hesitated and threw a second punch with the same posture and action.

With each swing, Zhan Ji Lingma would stay in the air for a while longer, and at the same time he would experience the pain of his whole body being shattered once again, and he would experience the feeling of all the senses in his body being shattered.

The third punch knocked Zhan Ji Lingma directly to the ground from mid-air. At the same time, at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Xia kicked sideways.

Zhan Ji Lingma flew backwards and slammed hard into the metal building on the rooftop. The loud bang and strong wind silenced everyone present.

A huge groove appeared in the metal building on the rooftop after the loud noise, and the groove was covered with cracks like a spider web.

Zhan Ji Lingma was embedded in the middle of this groove, and finally fell slowly from the center of the depression.

Thanks to the good performance of the Genesis Drive, Zhan Ji Ling Ma was still alive after suffering such an attack, but was seriously injured.

What surprised Jiang Xia was that Zhan Ji Lingma actually endured the pain of his body falling apart and staggered to his feet from the ground.

But after standing up again and taking a few heavy steps, he fell backwards again.

Zhan Ji Lingma's willpower is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but it's useless.

"You bastard!" Wu Daoguihu reacted suddenly. Looking at his seriously injured friend, he waved the sonic bow and arrow in his hand and attacked Jiang Xia.

The speed of Katsumi Zangetsu's attack just now was so fast, like a sports car accelerating to the limit. Before your nerve reflexes could notice, the opponent's attack was over.

You have no time to react, and no time to respond.

Wu Daoguihu could use the sonic arrows to forcibly split the bullets that were rapidly shooting towards him, but when faced with Jiang Xia's attack speed, he, like Zhan Ji Lingma, was completely unaware of it.

Using a blade to split bullets is already the ceiling of human skills, but now facing Katchiko Zangetsu it seems far beyond reach.

Jiang Xia's attack speed has now become so outrageous that when a bullet flies in front of him, he can simply choose to use his physical speed to bypass the bullet and kill the person who shot at him.

Of course, he is immune to physical attacks, so even a barrage of machine guns or Gatling guns is useless.

Facing Wu Daoguitora's attack, Jiang Xia condensed an unparalleled saber out of thin air in his palm. He clasped his hands together and instantly inserted the blade of the unparalleled saber into the gap of the DJ gun, fitting perfectly.

The edge of the DJ gun suddenly popped out into a sharp blade after being inserted by the Wushuang saber, so that the DJ gun became a large sword with considerable weight.

Jiang Xia held the azure blue sword in his hand across his chest, and Wu Daoguihu's sonic arrow burst out with all his strength, drawing a dazzling sword light.

The two weapons kept colliding with each other, hot sparks kept exploding, and the bouncing sparks illuminated two extremely similar faces. They were both Zangetsu, but they were different. No wonder they were sometimes mistaken for each other.

This is the duel between Kachidoki Zangetsu and Zangetsu Shin.

In an angry state, Takatora Wudao showed his strength at the limit of human beings. The sonic bow and arrow in his hand had become a blurred shadow due to the rapid swing.

Every swing of the sword was like a downpour, and the attack was like a strong wind.

However, even though the speed was increased to this level, he still couldn't gain any advantage over Jiang Xia.

Obviously, the weapon he used was much more flexible and lighter than the greatsword, but no matter where he attacked from, the opponent seemed to know it in advance every time.

No matter how fast he increases his speed, he can never surpass Katchidoki Zangetsu.

In fact, Takato Wudao has now brought the power of Genesis Driver and Melon Lock to 130%.

For those who decide to bear all the sins, all the data are false, and the key lies in their own heart.

Your own heart determines the upper limit of your fighting ability.

However, this kind of emotional outburst of idealism is only useful when the power difference is not much and you are in a weak position.

Just like a teenager with weak muscles who lies lazily in bed all day, no matter how emotionally he explodes, he is definitely not a match for a boxer.

If it's one boxer against another boxer, performing beyond his normal level might have some effect.

Takatora Wudao can defeat Genesis using the Sengoku Driver, but if you give him nothing and use your physical body to fight Genesis, this is not idealism, this is seeking death.

Jiang Xia watched Wu Daoguitora, who was fighting close to him, swing his sword again at a speed that surpassed his. The sound of the sword cutting through the air was overlapping, like a waterfall formed by countless waves.

Every time two weapons collide, sparks will be generated, but the sparks will remain in the air for a few seconds, so the later the collision, the more sparks will be generated.

At last, the two men's swords swung like countless sparks, forming shining sword arcs that collided with each other.

And around them, the explosions and gunfire never stopped.

Both sides had the same weapons, and when they were fighting each other, arrow rains of different colors burst out in the surroundings, and the various colored fruit juices produced in the explosions almost covered the rooftop.

The only advantage of the sonic arrow is that it is very convenient for both close combat and long-range combat. More importantly, the armor of Zhenyu is a fusion of two different types of locks. Therefore, in terms of hard power, Kuzuba Kota and Wudao Mitsumasa are slightly stronger than Xue Te and Minato Haruko.

As their respective ranged attacks ended, they switched back to melee mode, and only then did Kota Kuzuba and Mitsumi Wudao clearly feel the bonus that the Genesis Core brought to them in combat.

Different energy cores bring different abilities to their owners. The lemon energy lock seed owned by Kota Kuzuba actually has the highest bonus to Gaim's strength, while the melon energy lock seed owned by Mitsumi Wudao has a bonus to defense.

At first, when long-range arrows were shot at each other at close range, the difference did not seem to be too big, but when it came to close combat, the difference in a single energy lock type immediately became apparent.

Kuzuya Kota used the most brutal force to directly suppress Xue Te who was using the cherry energy lock. Every attack shook him back. The powerful swings were heavier than the last. The continuous attacks made Xue Te's hands begin to tremble uncontrollably.

Until the last mistake, the sonic arrow in Kuzuye Kota's hand chopped down directly along the edge of the bowstring, and this time it chopped out a huge orange-yellow arc of light.

Sparks kept bursting along the upper body of the Cherry Armor, and Xue Te was chopped away and rolled on the ground in embarrassment.

He looked at Gaim who had stopped fighting, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and looked fierce. He didn't expect that he would be hurt like this by this group of young boys.

"Little kids like you who haven't grown up yet should listen to adults!"

Xue Te quickly took out the cherry energy lock in his hand, put it into the groove of the sonic arrow, and then pulled the bowstring suddenly.

The cherry-red power fluctuations quickly materialized, and finally a physical red cherry-shaped arrow condensed in front of the bow.

"Cherry Energy!"

"I'm not a child!"

Kuzuya Kota shouted and also locked the lemon energy into a sonic arrow, but unlike Xue Te's move, this move also added the power of the orange lock.

When he stretched it to the limit, the energy waves condensed into juice not only gathered on the arrow, but also appeared in front of the arrow in the shape of circular slices of lemon cross-sections. "Sonic Volley!"

Kuzuba Kota let out a young man's roar, stretched the bowstring to its limit, aimed at Xuet and let go.

The orange-yellow light arrow went straight through the layers of lemon energy and shot out!

Because of the speed, the moment the arrow was shot out, a strong storm swept around it and the air continued to vibrate.

The cherry energy light arrow fired by Xue Te and the attack launched by Kuzuye Kota collided fiercely. The two different light beams collided with each other in the middle, and a deafening explosion suddenly burst out from the middle.

Both sides tried their best, and the power of the lock type gushed out at the moment of collision. The orange-yellow energy and the cherry-red energy intertwined together, and the gushing light beams and metal fragments swept in all directions.

Finally, the orange-yellow arrow of light passed through the storm and hit Shet's left shoulder, directly crushing his figure backwards. Light particles like orange juice exploded one after another, entangled with the cherry armor on Shet's body, slid to the ground, and finally hit the railing behind the rooftop.

Also defeated at the same time as Shet was Minato Yoko, who transformed into Peach Knight.

Mitsumi Wudao used the melon lock that Jiang Xia pinched out in a very beautiful posture and easily defeated her.

Although they are both energy lock seeds, the powers and properties they contain are very different. The ability contained in the melon energy lock seed is much stronger than the peach energy lock seed developed by Zhan Ji Lingma.

As a manufacturer, it is normal practice to adjust the data you have to the highest level.

Although Mitsumi Wudao has little experience in fighting ability and using drivers, with the blessing of the original grape lock and the special melon energy lock, it would be abnormal for him to lose. Minato Yoko is not a knight like Takatora Wudao who can defeat his opponent by bypassing the data.

Finally, the Zangetsu Shin transformed by Wudao Guihu couldn't hold on anymore. He had gone through many high-intensity and fierce fights in a short period of time, and because he burst out with a speed beyond the limit of his body, if he did not possess extraordinary physical strength and persist in exercising, he would have lost the ability to resist due to exhaustion.

With a bang, Zhan Yue Zhen half-knelt on the ground, grabbing the sonic arrow in his hands with both hands to block the greatsword that was chopping down from above. Veins had already bulged under his visor, and his arms were tightly resisting the sonic arrow, but it still did not change the fact that the attack continued to fall.

He didn't even dare to shout, fearing that his strength would be lost as soon as he spoke, leading to defeat.

Is this guy really human?
He swung at him countless times at his maximum speed, but never succeeded. The sharp blade of the sonic arrow in his hand couldn't even touch Sheng Hong Zhan Yue's armor.

Not to mention using the weapons in his hands to break his defense, he couldn't even touch him, and he was pinned to the ground with the strength of just one hand.

He could now also experience the feeling of the multiple attacks that Zhan Ji Ling Ma had just received.

The power and speed are far beyond human cognition.

"Jiang Xia, be careful!" Kuzuya Kota, who had just finished the battle, suddenly shouted at Katsushika Zangetsu.

"Brother Jiang Xia, be careful of the attack." Wu Daoming also noticed that it was Zhan Ji Lingma who had just lost his ability to fight.

Bright yellow golden light spots were quickly condensing on the sonic bow and arrow. Zhan Ji Lingma stood up again with his amazing willpower and burst out the power of the strongest lemon energy lock in one breath.

His own Genesis Driver has the highest data and the strongest instantaneous burst. Even the Zhenyu System he developed cannot compare to his own Genesis Driver and Energy Lemon Lock, and its combat power is even several times that of the Zhenyu System.

He wants to approach the realm of omnipotence, and certainly won't let anyone be stronger than him.

The extremely powerful attack was like a raging storm, and the air was filled with deafening sounds, which was the sound of lemon energy gathering.

Zhan Ji Lingma's angular visor emitted golden light, and he pulled the sonic bow to its maximum, concentrating all the strength of his body on the light arrow.

The constantly vibrating light arrows began to shake unnaturally the moment they converged and appeared, and the explosive energy had become somewhat shapeless. Even the Genesis Drive with the highest data could not bear the surging power.

"I hope you can survive this blow!" Zhan Ji Lingma gritted his teeth and let go of his hand in extreme anger.

The light arrow, which was several times more powerful than Kuzunoha Kota's, rushed towards Katsudoki Zangetsu with the goal of destroying everything.

The light arrow disappeared halfway the moment it was shot out, leaving only a hazy golden curtain. This arrow was enough to defeat any owner of the Genesis Drive.

Zhan Ji Lingma ignored Wu Dao Gui Hu who was half-kneeling on the ground, and did not consider whether he could still dodge as he was now exhausted. He had only one goal in his mind, which was to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Jiang Xia!
This attack was enough to penetrate all the defense facilities of the World Tree Defense Group, including those watermelon robots with full defense, but something happened that surprised Zhan Ji Lingma. When facing this attack, Jiang Xia actually raised his empty right hand, while his left hand was pressing down on Wu Dao Guihu to limit his attack.

Could it be that he is summoning some other weapon? When Zhan Ji Ling Ma saw the thing that Jiang Xia was holding in the void, he suddenly remembered that both the Wushuang Saber and the DJ Gun were summoned by Sheng Hong Zhan Yue in the void.

At this moment, Zhan Ji Lingma thought of Jiang Xia summoning the melon shield. Only the melon shield could maximize the defense. However, even the melon shield might still be useless. The defense ability of the shield has an upper limit, and it is impossible to block the fatal blow of the lemon armor.

Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi, who gave the warning, were unable to provide any help. By the time they noticed the attack and gave the warning, the golden light had already arrived, and they could only watch Jiang Xia being enveloped by the golden light.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of shattering in the air, and the people around seemed to have lost their voices at this moment. They were so shocked that they could not show any expression at all.

Jiang Xia raised his right hand. He did not summon a melon shield for defense as Zhan Ji Lingma had imagined. Instead, he gently stretched his hand into the hazy light and gently clenched it.

He caught the light arrow with violent energy fluctuations in his palm. The light arrow trembled desperately, but at this moment, it seemed that it had even been deprived of the right to explode.

Jiang Xia only exerted a little force, and the arrow originally made of light actually had several cracks. As the cracks became more and more, the sound like glass breaking continued.

In the end, he grabbed it and exploded it with his bare hands. Part of the blast hit Wu Dao Guihu, while the other part was sent back to Zhan Ji Lingma.

"boom!"

Wudao Guihu and Zhan Ji Lingma were hit by such an impact again. The armor on their bodies could no longer hold on and they canceled their transformation. They rolled on the ground in embarrassment for a few rounds.

Although Wudao Guihu was exhausted, he still stood up shakily, and his suit was already tattered.

Even in the face of such a desperate situation, he would not give up. Wu Daoguihu walked up to Jiang Xia step by step, put his hand on Katsuoki Zangetsu's shoulder, and roared:

"Since you destroyed the scalar system of the World Tree, it means you know what the World Tree is doing. If you are really a human, please tell me where we should go? You said I was a good person, but you wanted to stop me from doing what I did. Why?!"

Even at this time, Wu Daoguihu still wanted to get the way to save humanity from Jiang Xia.

Since he can transcend, then the rest of humanity can naturally do so as well.

"Because your method is wrong. The way to save mankind is to challenge that forest, not this absurd product like the Ark Project. Some things cannot be solved by sacrifice alone."

Jiang Xia looked at the man in front of him: "No one has the right to make sacrifices for others. If someone asks you to sacrifice for the overall situation, then you are not in this overall situation, let alone those who know nothing. If there really is a world that needs to sacrifice population to survive, the best way is to concentrate the power you have to fight the world. Human beings have always done this on this long road of evolution. No matter how many people are sacrificed, no matter how difficult the decision is, we must choose to continue fighting, because this is the essence of human beings. If you escape, you will perish one day, but if you fight, you still have a chance."

After hearing Jiang Xia's words, Wu Daoguihu slowly loosened his hand. He understood what Jiang Xia meant. In fact, they had always held the way to save mankind in their hands, and that was that forest.

In other words, there is something or some method in that forest that can save humanity, and it is only possible after a desperate battle.

"Did you also gain the power through fighting?" asked Guihu Wudao.

"Of course, as long as you keep going on the path of evolution, you will understand that as long as you are still alive, the so-called desperate situation never exists. It is you who put your heart in an airtight room." Jiang Xia said, "So now I never have any dilemma options. If someone gives me the trolley problem now, I will destroy the trolley and kill the person who gave the problem. The same goes if the options are expanded to the whole world."

"..."

When Guihu Wudao heard these murderous words, he was silent for a moment, then he sighed as if relaxed, and his whole body seemed to be relieved of some burden.

He asked the sober Minato Yoko to support the unconscious Zhan Ji Lingma, and finally waved to Xue Te, indicating to retreat.

After seeing Jiang Xia turning his gaze towards him, Xue Te didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that this guy would kill them right there.

He tensed his nerves, moved his body little by little, and finally left in a flash.

"Impossible! Zangetsu Shin is actually my brother!"

Before Wu Daoming Mitsumi had recovered from the surprise of his attack being completely blocked, he saw his brother Wu Daoguitora.

He didn't hear clearly what they said at all. The moment Zangetsu Shin removed his armor, his mind went blank and he stood there in a daze.

Although he knew that his brother was the supervisor of the World Tree, he never associated Wudao Guihu with the Armored Knight for even a moment. But when he recalled carefully, he found that all the details and tone of voice of Zangetsu Shin were exactly the same as his brother's, but he didn't notice it at all.

"My brother probably hasn't realized that I'm Kamen Rider Ryugen yet." Mitsumasa Wudao thought to himself as he looked at the ragged Takatora Wudao.

"Let's go. No one will stop us now." Jiang Xia said to Kuzuya Kota and then turned to look at Wu Daoming, "Do you choose to go back to the Gaim team with us, or..."

He made it very clear whether he should confess his identity to Wudao Guihu now and go back to the World Tree Group with him, or leave together.

"Go back to the Gaim Team." Mitsumi Wudao said softly, looking at his brother's back.

He would be going home in the evening anyway, so it would be better to figure out what the current situation was all about.

About the World Tree, about saving humanity, about that forest, and also, about why Jiang Xia was called a non-human. (End of this chapter)
