Kamen Rider Evolution

One o'clock in the afternoon, at the secret base of the Gaim Team.

A large blackboard was placed horizontally on the wall that was painted with all kinds of colors. Jiang Xia was walking back and forth under the blackboard, holding a thin stick.

And right opposite the blackboard, Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumasa were sitting obediently on the benches, just like students listening to a lecture, and Jiang Xia was the teacher holding a pointer.

Now there are only three of them in this huge warehouse.

Jiang Xia had already told Gao Siwu the general situation through the phone, saying that he and Wu Daoguang had indeed found the missing Ge Ye Hongta, and that he was fine, but he had not been home for several days because he was obsessed with playing video games and had no time to contact Ge Yejing.

Now that I've found myself, I'm fine, just a little tired.

Mitsumi Wudao still remembers that when Jiang Xia was telling lies without changing his expression, he was trying hard to cover the mouth of Kota Kuzawa, because his brother Kota was really outspoken and almost told the real situation to Mai Takashi.

It is better not to tell other members of the Gaim Team such heavy news before things are fully clarified.

Mitsumasa Wudao rode on Kota Kuzuba's body, covering his mouth with one hand and blocking his resisting hands with the other hand. His behavior was quite bullying and full of coercion, and the person under him could only hum.

While resisting Wu Daoming, Kuzuye Kota looked at Jiang Xia who was talking to Takashi Mai on the phone with despair on his face, and a trace of crystal tears flashed in the corner of his eyes.

Who understands? He doesn't want to leak the secret, he just wants Jiang Xia to come up with another reason.

If his sister knew that he hadn't come home or answered the phone for three days in a row because he was playing video games, causing her to worry for nothing, he would definitely die, and it would be a very ugly death.

While Jiang Xia was chatting with Gao Siwu, he watched the two people entangled with each other out of the corner of his eye. After realizing that they were just joking, he ignored them.

Kuzuya Kota knew in his heart that he couldn't involve anyone else in the fact that he was secretly imprisoned by the World Tree.

The so-called situations of being pressed under the body and only being able to make whimpering sounds were just a kind of playfulness after a long separation. As for the reason for the disappearance, you can just find an acceptable reason to reassure your sister.

As for why he was crying, it was because he really loved playing games. My sister would definitely believe this reason.

This guy Jiang Xia made up lies that sounded like the truth.

But in the end, it was Gao Siwu who heard the news that Ge Ye Kota had been playing games for three days without sleep, and she said she would definitely pass it on to Sister Ge Ye.

Playing aside, it is time to formally share information, so after the fun, Kuzuya Kota moved the blackboard over, Wu Daoguang actually moved the small stool, and Jiang Xia just pulled a stick from the roadside to use as a teaching stick.

"Now let me tell you the truth about the Helheim Forest and the World Tree Group that you have always been concerned about." Jiang Xia used the wooden stick in his hand as a crutch and tapped the ground lightly.

Fluorescent blue waves enveloped the entire garage along with the wooden stick, interweaving into a fine grid-like mesh during the transformation process.

As the blue fine net was generated, the surrounding walls and objects began to collapse, and the familiar Gaim Team garage was constantly reshaped as it disappeared.

Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi suddenly stood up from their seats. They had never seen such a shocking scene before. They were so surprised that they were speechless and could only stare at the scene in front of them in a daze.

The scene suddenly changed, and they felt that they were standing on both sides of an empty corridor, surrounded by transparent glass and a magnificent semi-ellipsoidal dome. Looking down along the railings of the corridor, they could see people walking back and forth like black dots.

"This is the World Tree Group, we are back!" Wu Daoguang was shocked.

This was a corridor in the upper floors of the World Tree Group. He would not make a mistake because he had just left here. He could even recall how he hid behind the wall and carefully avoided being discovered by the security guards.

And when Kuzuya Kota stretched out his hand, what touched his palm was the cool feeling of the white tiles.

That's right, this is real, this is not some 3D projection, they are really back.

Before Mitsumasa Wudao and Kota Kuzuba could ask Jiang Xia any questions, the door on the inside of the corridor suddenly opened with a "click" and a tall figure appeared right in front of Mitsumasa Wudao.

He was a neat and tidy man with black hair, wearing a suit and tie, with an indifferent face. Behind him was a man wearing a white coat and holding a report in his hand.

"Brother!" When Wu Daoguang saw Wu Daoguihu directly hitting him in the face, he almost screamed out of fear.

But when he habitually responded to Takatora Wudao's rebuke, his body passed through Takatora Wudao without any hindrance, as if passing through a ghost.

"The Wudao Guihu and Sengoku Lingma here are just projections of their memories. They have no entity. Just follow them and you will get all the answers."

Jiang Xia's arm also passed through the two of them. "Although we can touch objects, it's just that our five senses are disturbed. It's like a dream."

The memories here come from the earth. This is indeed a real scene that happened. The sun is shining brightly, and it is a day that couldn’t be more ordinary.

"The Ark Project has been roughly prepared, Guihu. With the influence of the World Tree Group in the world, it is easy to manipulate food, medical care, and water sources."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma waved the report in his hand. "With just a flick of the finger, the number of humans will drop drastically in the next ten years. After all, these things are necessities for humans. By then, even if the earth is completely destroyed, humans will be able to survive."

"I understand. Let's not worry about that for now. How is the research on the fruit of the Helheim Forest going?" said Takatora Wudao indifferently.

"It's still the same. There is no progress. In a short period of time, many people have mistakenly entered the cracks and entered the Helheim Forest. Those who eat the fruit will eventually become aliens." Sengoku Lingma shrugged and said indifferently, "It seems that humans can only rely on the Sengoku Driver to survive now."

"I understand. Where is the record of this experiment?" After hearing the news, Wu Daoguihu's eyes dimmed slightly, but immediately returned to his expressionless icy face.

"Right in the lab, I didn't expect you would be interested in experiments. That's right, if it succeeds this time it will be a great discovery." Zhan Ji Lingma smiled, shook his drooping hair, and strode forward, "Come with me."

"Follow him, and don't ask any questions for now." Jiang Xia interrupted them after taking a quick look at the puzzled expressions of Kusaya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi.

In an instant, Zhan Ji Lingma had crossed the corridor, opened the door of the laboratory with the key, and several people followed him in.

The laboratory was filled with various flasks, test tubes and measuring cups, and every corner of the room was covered with emerald green vines, making the entire laboratory appear unusually dark even with the lights on.

"Here, the experimental records of this time are here." Zhan Ji Lingma skillfully opened the tablet computer in the drawer and handed it to Wu Dao Guihu.

The moment Wu Daoguitora was watching, his body turned into blue fluorescence and disappeared.

Instead, Zhan Ji Lingma was wearing a white coat, protective glasses, and white gloves, fully armed and ready to do experiments.

"The experiment on dividing the Helheim Forest Fruit will begin now."

Zhan Ji Lingma picked the fruit wrapped in red skin from the vine next to him that had already covered the entire interior of the room.

The moment he peeled off the red skin, both Kuzunoya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi wanted to eat it.

Although it is very faint, it is real.

Zhan Ji Lingma used a surgical scalpel to cut the transparent flesh and divide it into several equal portions.

He is not only a researcher, he is also a doctor who is proficient in surgery.

"Little white mice, your lunch is here." Zhan Ji Lingma pinched the thinly cut fruit pulp and fed it directly to the little white mice that were raised using a specific method.

These specially bred mice seemed to have seen some delicious meal and ate it up in one gulp.

The fruit is a temptation not only to humans, but also to all types of creatures on earth.

Zhan Ji Lingma was quietly watching these little white mice whose fate was already sealed through the cabinet. The moment they ate, a faint green light burst out from the bodies of the little white mice, and vine-like plants gradually covered their bodies.

But just when Zhan Ji Lingma thought a miracle had happened, several cracks appeared on its body, which was filled with green light.

Then, the mouse's body seemed to be pinched by a big hand in the void and squeezed hard.

The gushing blood instantly covered the entire culture chamber, and then all the mice that ate the fruit flesh exploded, leaving no one alive.

"Failed." Zhan Ji Lingma raised his eyebrows as he looked at the blood-red incubator in front of him, without any surprise.

How could the fruit that possesses divine power be obtained by this group of lowly creatures?

In the subsequent scenes, animals of various sizes were force-fed different amounts of fruit pulp, but without exception, they either mutated or died, there was no third option.

Among all the animals in nature, if we simply compare the number, no one can compare with insects. Even the number of mice is 5 times higher than the current number of humans.

The Ark Project only needs to clean up the population and ensure that those who do not have the Battle Drive will not become aliens. But what about the animals? What will happen to them after eating the fruit?
The answer is that large animals will become aliens like humans, and small animals will be exterminated.

What Wu Daoguihu was thinking about was whether it was possible to alleviate the mutation by reducing the pulp, or to stay awake, which is often said to be fighting it by using dosage and toxicity.

He will not give up any chance to save humanity unless he really reaches a dead end.

It is indeed a good idea to keep humans sane by constantly adapting to the power, but it is obvious that although this method makes sense in theory, the conditions for its implementation are very harsh.

This thing is more like a virus. Without immunity, it will eventually turn into a monster.

However, this also gave Zhan Ji Lingma an inspiration, because people attacked by aliens would also be infected, it’s just a matter of time.

But if all it takes is to stop the body from mutating so quickly, then it's possible.

It is indeed a very good idea to use the belt he invented to forcibly curb mutations and survive under the power.

After all, in the future world, population is a very precious resource.

Based on the existing data, even if this is the case, humans infected by the power will eventually be assimilated by Helheim and become aliens.

As for whether he could remain sane, Zhan Ji Lingma thought it was absolutely impossible to remain sane.

He has studied Helheim Forest for so long, and there is no way for humans to survive without using the belt he developed, absolutely not!
In the end, all the conclusions and everything the World Tree Group had done were placed in front of Kota Kuzuba and Mitsumi Kureshima.

We know everything about the Ark Project, the invasion of Helheim, how much time is left on Earth, and everything the World Tree Group has done.

Kuzuba Kota himself only knew from Sagara that humans would turn into monsters after eating the fruit and would rush into Zema City to cause trouble. He never thought that the earth was in danger.

It was actually the first time that Wu Daoguang understood this cruel truth.

The sound of wooden sticks hitting the ground rang out again. Kuzuye Kota and Wudao Mitsumi were startled. They didn't know when they were back to the secret base of the Gaim Team.

"Does the Earth really only have ten years left?"

This news was so shocking that it made Kusanagi Kota's heart feel extremely heavy.

Human civilization will be destroyed in less than ten years.

"That's right. If this continues, the cracks will increase, and then the aliens will replace humans. Faced with this situation, the World Tree Group chose to burn down Zeya City and then evacuate." Jiang Xia said, "This time I'm not just here to save you, I'm also going to destroy their weapons."

"Now the only way left is to fight with the Helheim Forest." Kuzuya Kota closed his eyes. He also heard the conversation between Jiang Xia and Wudao Takatora.

He was not stupid. After knowing all this, he also understood how to avoid the end of the world.

He would never allow Zeya City and the people living here to be harmed, even if he had to fight the world.

"Ashi, if you have any other questions, just ask. Don't worry about it." Jiang Xia saw Kusanagi Kota's determination, and also saw Wu Dao Mitsumasa's hesitant look.

"Brother Jiang Xia...are you really a human?" Wu Dao Guang Shi hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

Unknown individuals are undiscovered creatures, in other words, non-human beings. Moreover, no matter how Wu Daoming made excuses, he could not convince himself of the ability to bring them directly into other people's memories.

"I think we should explain it with facts."

Jiang Xia put down the wooden stick in his hand and walked to the column supporting the ceiling. It had been entangled with green vines at some point, and at the bottom of the vines, the fruits of the Helheim Forest were hanging by roots.

He reached out and pulled gently, and the fruit was picked.

"Jiang Xia, what are you going to do?!" When Ge Ye Hongtai saw the fruit flesh being peeled, he suddenly jumped up from his chair and jumped towards him.

The target is the fruit in Jiang Xia's hand. He clearly sees what kind of changes will happen to those who eat the fruit. They will turn into monsters if they eat it.

"It's okay, this thing is more like a snack to me." Jiang Xia dodged slightly sideways, Ge Ye Hongtai pounced on him, and ate the flesh directly.

Kuzuya Kota stumbled and when he got up, only the fruit peel was left.

"In fact, the last civilization similar to humans was not just destroyed. A very small part of it gained the power to transcend extinction and was able to maintain its sanity."

Jiang Xia threw the peel into the trash can as if he was shooting a basketball. "They are called the Supreme Overlords, or Overlord Aliens. They have the power to control the Helheim Forest. If we want to save the world, the power of the Overlords is necessary."

"Could it be that, Brother Jiang Xia, you are the supreme overlord?" Wu Dao Mitsumasa said in shock.

The power beyond extinction, the ability to eat fruits and remain sane, all these things indicate that Jiang Xia is the supreme overlord.

"You guessed right. I am now considered one of the supreme overlords." Jiang Xia pulled casually, and the crack was opened. He waved his hand again, and the crack closed again.

"Does it count now?" Wu Daoguang was quick to sense that there was something wrong here. "Was it not counted before?"

He didn't think about taking action or anything else. If Jiang Xia had other intentions, he wouldn't have to do so many things.

"It is the life form that can maintain its sanity after eating the fruit of the Helheim Forest. The Supreme Overlord is a life form that evolved after receiving the power of the Helheim Forest. But the races before evolution are different, so now it is correct to call me an evolved human being." Jiang Xia said.

"Then you can control the Helheim Forest so that it will no longer erode the earth." Kuzuya Kota asked in surprise.

"It would be great if that were the case, but unfortunately, it's not that simple, because the Supreme Overlords have the same power as me, and they are not the kind of people who would sit back and do nothing."

Jiang Xia said, "Although the Helheim Forest will erode the earth, it will also guide humans to evolve, and the key to evolution is the golden apple in mythology. However, due to some special reasons, the golden apple that belonged to humans was taken away by the Supreme Overlord in advance. So even if I can stop the erosion now, I can only delay time."

"Golden Apple?" Both Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi felt what this word represented.

"The Golden Apple and the fruit of the Helheim Forest are actually opposites. It is called the forbidden fruit. Those who eat it will gain the power to reshape the world and gain power beyond the Supreme Overlord. At the same time, they will also have the opportunity to guide the evolution of new races. The intelligent creatures of the previous generation who obtained the Golden Fruit used the power of the Golden Fruit to transform the races at that time, causing some of them to become alienated. As for their world, it has become the present Helheim. Of course, the fight for the Golden Apple is full of struggles. Only one person can get it, and the others are all losers. Of course, this is what I am pursuing now."

"In other words, if you want to save the world, you must defeat the Supreme Overlord and take back the stolen Golden Apple. It's that simple."

"But you have become a monster! Jiang Xia, does it not matter if you lose your human identity?" Only then did Ge Ye Hongtai realize that the human evolution was all fake.

The golden apple was also a product of that forest, and in his eyes it was no different from other fruits.

He only knew that Jiang Xia had turned into a monster in order to save the world.

Each step is normal and there is nothing wrong with it, but the result of combining them together is full of absurdity.

The supreme overlords are aliens. They also evolve through fruits. Now Jiang Xia is the same and has become the overlord.

"Well, on the road of evolution, the human body is the least important, and having a human heart is the most important." Jiang Xia said with a nonchalant smile.

Obviously, the most important point is the benefits and power brought by the golden apple, but Kuzuya Kota is sad that Jiang Xia has lost his human identity.

This is probably what makes him different from others.

Information about the golden apple is destined to be impossible to conceal. This is a relatively fair competition system, or game rule.

As the referee, Sagara will use other channels to let everyone with an admission ticket know the news, regardless of whether they are optimistic or pessimistic.

"Everyone, you all understand, the fruit you want is in that guy's hands."

These words introducing the forbidden fruit also took place in the hospital under the World Tree Group.

Zhan Ji Lingma was lying on the bed in the hospital, and the people surrounding him were Wu Dao Guihu, Xue Te, and Zou Yaozi.

Sagara has changed back into clothes and decorations from a previous era, and performs a transformation from human to snake.

"So this is what it means to challenge the forest, evolved humans." After hearing what Sagara said, Takatora Wudao also understood the current situation.

This time, he who had been missing intelligence finally got the news. (End of this chapter)
