Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

"What?! What are you thinking?" Even Blade was completely bewildered at this moment.

Pegasus slowly spoke: "I just wanted to feel the strongest power."

That's all. "

Yu Che stared at Pegasus in disbelief at this reason...

Damn, there's really nothing wrong with him...

Pegasus doesn't believe in ghosts or gods, isn't a religious person, and doesn't believe in God. He scoffs at the existence of gods, but Ark's existence is real. So isn't it natural for Pegasus to become interested in Ark?

and so……

Is it really just for his own interest?!

"Are you kidding me?!"

To everyone's surprise, the first to erupt in anger was Hiden Aruto: "Just for this?! You caused so much trouble just for this?! You caused such serious consequences?! You caused so many deaths! And even... you even attacked Mr. Fukuzoe Jun?!"

Hiden Aruto roared angrily at Pegasus.

This is the first time this goofy protagonist has ever truly gotten angry...

Chapter 226 Anger

Hiden Aruto, the protagonist of Kamen Rider 01.

A protagonist who always talks about Humagears.

Because his biological parents died when he was young, Hiden Aruto's memories of his relatives are mostly related to his Humagear father.

For Hiden Aruto, the biggest hurdle he could never overcome in his life was the Dawn Incident.

The Dawn Incident, the Humagear Uprising—how many people suffered, and how many people developed a deep-seated hatred for the Humagears because of that incident?

Putting aside other things, isn't the lack of breaking the barrier the most typical example?

Because of the Dawn Incident, Fuwa initially had a completely negative impression of the Humagears.

Even though things are much better now, we can't just let bygones be bygones. Fuwa still has a lingering resentment towards the Humagears.

That was the deepest shadow of a child's childhood.

It is the deepest fear born under a life-or-death crisis; one could say that Fuwa has PTSD about Humagears.

How many people are like this?

From the time of the Dawn Incident until about half a year ago, Hiden Aruto believed that it was an accident caused by the birth of self-awareness in the satellite Ark.

However, after his grandfather passed away, things gradually began to challenge Hiden Aruto's worldview.

First, there was the resurgence of Ark's consciousness.

Well, although Ark is incompetent in planning, he is undeniably rotten to the core, and Hiden Aruto harbors hatred towards him.

They also offered no explanation for the Dawn Incident, which was orchestrated by Ark. It was indeed Ark's fault, but it was their company, Hiden Semiconductor, that manufactured the satellite Ark.

However, Tianjin Gai later told him that it was he who installed an emotion module inside the satellite, causing the satellite to develop a negative emotion module and give birth to a negative will...

Hiden Aruto felt that perhaps, maybe, possibly, the responsibility he needed to bear could be a little less?

At least we can find someone to share the blame, right?

Hiden Aruto certainly felt guilty about the Dawn Incident.

Putting everything else aside, Hiden Aruto felt incredibly guilty about the out-of-control Humagear, Nanako's butler, that Yutsu-san.

Yu Che, who was already alone, found himself in an even more difficult situation.

Hiden and others couldn't even imagine how Yu Che had managed all these years.

It must be said that Hiden Aruto's choice to become a comedian and live like a clown has more or less an element of giving up and escaping.

At least that's true in this world.

His own grandfather's company caused such a huge disaster. How can Hiden Aruto continue to live a carefree life with a clear conscience?

He admitted he couldn't do it...

But, Grandpa passed away...

He eventually came back...

Hiden Aruto did everything he could to promote the establishment of New Dawn Town. Even Hiden Aruto himself wouldn't believe that he didn't feel guilty about what happened back then.

But later...

Vivian appeared...

Hiden Aruto also learned that several years before the Dawn Incident, someone had already obtained Ark's power...

That person is Pegasus...

You Che suspected that Bekas was probably behind everything, but he had no evidence.

To be honest, Hiden Aruto didn't believe it at first.

but now……

Seeing Pegasus's calm expression, Hiden Aruto broke down...

What do you mean, "I just wanted to experience that immense power"?!

Just for this?!

Hiden Aruto took a deep breath and looked at Pegasus with icy eyes: "So, you only did this for this?"

You were the first to obtain Ark's power, and you also want to obtain Zero One's power...

Why did Naako recover? And what happened during the Dawn Event?!

Pegasus frowned: "This seems to be outside the scope of my answer; I can refuse..."

"Answer me!" Hiden Aruto clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Pegasus.

Pegasus was silent for a moment, then looked at Hiden Aruto with some confusion. He really didn't know why Hiden Aruto was so angry.

but……

Pegasus glanced at Vivian and sighed, "After obtaining Ark's power, I found that it's just so-so. It can amplify its power by taking advantage of human malice, but that's about it."

At that time, I heard about the Kamen Rider System, the Zero One Rider System developed by Hiden Intelligence. I knew that it would be impossible for me to ask Hiden Intelligence directly for it. Coincidentally, Hiden Intelligence was collaborating with ZAIA to develop a satellite at that time, so I released Ark's power into the data world.

(By the way, this power wasn't called Ark back then, but we'll use that name for easier reading.)

Hiden Aruto staggered, while Fuwa, who had been looking puzzled, suddenly widened his eyes at Pegasus. Ah, he suddenly understood: "So the Dawn Incident was actually caused by you?!"

Pegasus was silent for a moment before speaking: "I did not intentionally cause the Dawn Incident to occur. It was indeed an accident, but... it did start because I projected Ark's power into ZAIA's database."

"Damn it!" Fupo looked at Pegasus, wanting to utter a thousand curses in his mind.

But his straightforward nature left him speechless for a moment.

Hiden Aruto gritted his teeth and glared at Pegasus: "You... just for that... just to feel this so-called power... you caused all of this, don't you... don't you feel ashamed?!"

After listening to Hiden Aruto's words, Pegasus looked up and frowned at him: "Why should I feel ashamed? Research will inevitably involve losses. The Dawn Incident was just an accident during the research."

Hiden Aruto could tell from Pegasus's expression that the other party was not lying.

Pegasus genuinely felt that the Dawn Incident had nothing to do with it.

You Che remained silent.

To be honest, it's understandable that you'd be interested in Pegasus's ideas.

Pegasus... likely went completely insane after his wife and daughter died, though he didn't believe he was insane, but from then on he became incredibly indifferent to life.

Pegasus wanted to obtain the power of Hiden Intelligence's Zero One, so he worked towards that goal.

So he put Ark into the ZIA Corporation's database, polluting it and causing the Dawn Event to occur.

From an ordinary person's perspective, there is no doubt that Pegasus is the starting point of everything, and he bears the greatest responsibility.

But in Pegasus's own view...

This was just a tentative move.

It was merely a tentative action to obtain Zero One and data from Hiden Electronics.

As for how many people died because of this operation, and how many lives were ruined... Pegasus didn't care at all...

This guy...

It's different from the traditional final villain, the kind of villain who seems rational but is actually extremely insane...

Chapter 227 Total Annihilation [Part 1]

Hiden Aruto has only one feeling right now: he's a joke.

He always believed that Flytech Corporation was fully responsible for the Dawn incident.

But to everyone's surprise, the culprits showed absolutely no concern for the Dawn Incident, a major event that involved countless people and ruined countless families.

He felt incredibly guilty, but the culprit didn't care at all.

The reason he didn't continue his actions was simply because Hiden no Suke's Zero Two power exceeded his expectations. It killed Ark and his four henchmen, MetsubouJinrai.net, which made him afraid to continue.

What is the point of all these years of entanglement?

Does it mean I'm wasting my time experiencing life?

Hiden Aruto now feels like a clown.

An overwhelming surge of malice made his eyes even redder.

This intense malice, solidified into a tangible form, was instantly felt by the others.

Yu Che turned to Hiden Aruto and hissed, "Aruto! Wake up!"

However, Hiden Aruto ignored them and simply murmured:

"Kill him...kill him..."

Yu Che's pupils contracted slightly. Oh no! The Ark Key he gave Hiden Aruto last time had been used by Hiden Aruto to unleash Ark's power because of the intense malice he exuded...
