In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

Evolto muttered to himself, and a ring-shaped energy wave shot out!

Section 171, Chapter 167: East Asia's Vinegar King, evolto!

"The World! Time Stop!"

Click!

The world froze. Evolto's movements paused for a moment, but she quickly regained her color. The time stop binding her was even shorter than that of a Honkai God. Sharing the power of this world with Night Song, she also had a high resistance to time stop.

"Tch, so alert, they've already caught up?"

Evolto clicked her tongue in regret, her hands moving without pause, her fist, brimming with surging energy, hurtling towards Rita. Even in a world where time had stopped, she could still interfere with the real world. If her punch landed, disarming all defenses, the unsuspecting Rita would surely die.

"Evolto! How dare you!"

Night Song's roar came from behind Rita. A flash of seven-colored light appeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of Rita. One hand was bent, firmly blocking Evolto's fierce fist. Time stop was lifted, and Rita came back to her senses, staring blankly at the pure white figure that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Teacher...why..."

Rita was filled with mixed feelings. Night Song's rescue made her very happy, but her guilt deepened. Even at the end of her life, she was still causing trouble for each of her teachers.

Night Song had no time to care about Rita. He pulled her close, shielding her behind him, and asked in a complicated tone, "Evolto? Why? Why did you attack Rita?"

“Because I knew very well that human emotions would ultimately harm you. Your apprentice had no chance to become a Herrscher, but you couldn’t possibly stand by and watch like you did with Cecilia. So I kept this a secret, wanting to resolve it as soon as possible, but I didn’t expect you to find out.” Evolto sighed, not for his actions, but for his failure.

Night Song slowly lowered his hand, his voice low: "At first I thought you were just leaving for a while, but you haven't come back. How did you manage to break free from me?" Evolto's actions had exceeded Night Song's expectations, as had the previous attacks. He had been trying to forcibly recall Evolto, but his calls were like stones sinking into the sea, receiving no response.

"Because of this."

Evolto seemed to have anticipated Night Song's question, and waved the object in his hand at him. It was a black metal plate that had already been filled with nine of them: "This contains a portion of our power. Its power has now reached ninety percent. Although it is still in an incomplete state, it allows me to temporarily attach myself to it."

"Did you take the metal plate too?" Ye Ge gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He felt powerless in the face of Evolto. Evolto had taken the Evol transformation device. Although the Genius form could gain some advantage, the fact that he could actually fight Evolto was very troubling for Ye Ge.

Because they were one, this betrayal made him very uncomfortable.

"You're too weak to have emotions. I could tolerate you before, but not this time. I must take Rita's life! If you want to stop me, defeat me!"

As Evolto spoke, his figure flashed, transforming into a purple lightning bolt. Night Song also transformed into a seven-colored arc. The two clashed, and dazzling energy aftershocks flashed in the air. Rita stood there, staring blankly at Night Song, who was fighting fiercely in the night sky. She neither ran away nor left. She wanted to see this battle that concerned her life!

"Your strength should have been superior to mine, yet you're losing to me at every turn? Is it because of me?" Evolto's armor trembled as he slammed Night Song to the ground with a low kick, his words laced with sarcasm. "If you keep worrying about these trivial things, you really will lose, and you won't even be able to save that girl's life!"

Ye Ge groaned, a metallic taste filling his mouth. He swallowed the blood that spilled from his mouth and slowly fell to the ground, asking in a trembling voice, "Is there really no other way? I didn't save Cecilia when she died; that's my sin. I really don't want to kill people around me for power anymore!"

“Without power, you will die.” Evolto frowned, flew down rapidly, and slammed his fist hard into Yoru’s head. His head buzzed, and his body went limp uncontrollably. Rita, who was next to him, quickly supported him and looked at Yoru, who was trying to shake his head, with heartache: “Teacher, please don’t hit him anymore.”

“No, I must protect you. It is my sin. Evolto is not human. She does not understand. But I am human. I also have emotions and desires. I cannot watch my disciple die in front of me without doing anything.”

Night Song stumbled to his feet, the brilliance of his genius form dimmed by his emotions, but Evolto wouldn't give him a moment to catch his breath, turning the joystick as he walked over step by step:

"I won't do anything to you, after all, we are one, but I should at least make you lose your ability to move, otherwise you will be a big hindrance when I harvest lives."

"Evolutic Attack!"

"Genuis Attack!"

The two legs, encased in leg armor, kicked together, causing the surrounding air to explode. Evolto quickly gained the upper hand, and Night Song's territory continued to retreat. At this rate, defeat was only a matter of time.

"I'm sorry, Rita."

Suddenly, Night Song pushed her arm back, and Evolto's power was brought over. Although the power had been reduced by most, Rita was still injured by the force. Blood spilled from her mouth as she flew backward and landed in the soft grass. Night Song's leg armor was also shattered by Evolto's kick due to the distraction. Blood flowed freely, and her calf was instantly ruptured.

"One Side!"

As Yege's swaying body suddenly grabbed Evolto's shoulder, taking advantage of her momentary daze, the energy bottles on his upper body glowed all at once, transforming into a seven-colored torrent that converged into Yege's fist. With his last bit of strength, he punched Evolto hard in the chest, the power of the Genius Bottle seeping in.

"What...what is this?"

Evolto stumbled backward, clutching his chest: "The gas was..."

Inside Evolto's body, her genetic material was covered, destroyed, and reconstructed by the energy of the Genius Bottle. Suddenly, her body emitted a faint white light, as if she had stopped moving. Night Song dragged her broken body and crawled step by step toward the motionless Evolto, her target being the black metal plate in her arms.

"This strange feeling surging from within, from my heart, what is it..." Evolto was still struggling. She looked down at Yoru, who was struggling to crawl towards her, and a surge of resentment rose in her heart. Why did he care so much about that woman? Why not about me? I was supposed to be with him all along, so why did that woman get ahead of me?

But looking at Yoru's missing leg, Evolto's gaze softened, a slight tremor running through her heart. She actually felt resentment and heartache? She actually... felt jealous?

Section 172, page 168. New Methods

"Is this... a human heart?"

Evolto clutched her chest, the strange sensation feeling as if it were about to burst out of her chest. She breathed heavily to calm herself down, looking at Yege with a complicated expression. Suddenly, she squatted down, cupped Yege's cheeks, and gently rested her head against him. This action completely stunned Yege, whose mind was racing.

"Um, Evolto, are you alright?"

Night Song had never seen Evolto so sentimental. At this moment, she didn't seem like that cold-blooded alien life form, but rather more like a human girl.

“It’s alright.” Evolto released Night Song’s head, reached into his pocket and took out a black metal plate, handing it to him. “Here you go. And don’t bother me for now. If you don’t find a way to save Rita, I will still kill her. You’d better watch yourself.”

After speaking, Evolto transformed into a red liquid and scattered, entering Yege's body. He also deactivated his transformation. With Evolto's help, his healing speed was much faster, but bone injuries healed much slower than flesh injuries. It took more than ten minutes for Yege to barely regain his mobility.

"Teacher, Miss Evolto, she..."

Rita coughed twice, her face as pale as paper, but much less so than Ye Ge's. She quickly walked over, enduring the pain in her internal organs, and helped Ye Ge to his feet. Looking at his still-healing calf, her pretty face was filled with heartache and guilt: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me..."

"Rita!" Ye Ge suddenly shouted, startling Rita into shutting her mouth. Ye Ge looked at her with a very serious gaze, his tone no longer the same as before, but with a hint of helplessness: "I want you to be strong, to live freely. This will is not something I impose on you, but something you decide yourself. If you want to live, I will fight for you, but if you give up yourself, everything I have done will be meaningless."

"So, tell me, do you want to live?" Night Song asked, meeting Rita's eyes in a questioning tone. "Putting aside all external factors, tell me, do you want to live?"

Tears welled up in Rita's eyes. She suddenly hugged Yege tightly, her voice choked with emotion, "I want to live. I want to stay by Teacher's side. There are so many things I want to do. I... I don't want to leave Teacher!"

"Then, don't say such things anymore." A hint of relief appeared in Ye Ge's eyes as he stroked Rita's gray hair and gently patted her back. Rita finally let down her guard and hugged Ye Ge, sobbing softly. Under the soft moonlight, a man and a woman embraced each other affectionately.

The next morning, Ye Ge hurriedly called Rita. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she obediently followed Ye Ge out of the apartment. On the way, Rita hesitated for a moment before asking, "Teacher, where are we going?"

Ye Ge patted his head, gave a wry smile, and patted his chest: "I don't know why, but ever since last night, Evolto seems to have changed her attitude. Anyway, now when I call her, she just grunts or ignores me. I feel like... she's angry? No, Evolto shouldn't have that kind of emotion."

“So, I had to find a way myself. I hacked into part of Destiny’s system and finally found a way that might work.” Night Song suddenly looked at Rita very seriously, and the latter nodded solemnly: “Whatever you want to do, Teacher, I will support you, so please use me.”

"It's good that you're aware of this. Now let's go find Theresa, but we'll have to use some special methods." As he spoke, Ye Ge's lips curled into a wicked smile. Theresa, who was sleeping at the moment, shivered, sneezed, rubbed her eyes groggily, and continued to sleep while hugging her pillow.

……

"Ah~~~, wait a minute? Where am I?"

After an unknown amount of time, Theresa slowly woke up and suddenly realized that everything around her was upside down. The familiar hard object behind her brought her back to her senses; she was actually tied to Judas!

"Oh, finally awake, little Theresa?"

Yege, with a cigarette dangling from Mokou's mouth, raised an eyebrow at Theresa, making the latter pale with anger: "Yege! Let me go right now! And how did you break into my room? And tie me to Judas!"

"Tch, have you forgotten? I just obtained all the powers of the Honkai God yesterday. Judah is still the Key of God, so he has to listen to me obediently, right?" Night Song gave Theresa a disdainful middle finger and turned her around, but still didn't let Judah loosen his restraints on her. Theresa's eyes were practically blazing with anger. Usually, she was the one who used Judah to bind people, but today it was her turn.

“Don’t be nervous. I just want to find out a few things, but I’m sure you won’t tell me without using some special methods.” Night Song gestured to Rita with her eyes, and the latter immediately understood. She took out an electronic tablet and waved it in front of Theresa’s eyes. After Theresa saw it clearly, Night Song continued, “When the core of the Herrscher of Sirin was shattered, it broke into four gems. They are now in different places. I can’t take Mei’s gem, so I want to find out the location of the other gems. Don’t try to fool me. When I went to retrieve the energy bottle, I saw those gems being retrieved by Schicksal!”

“I…I can’t say.” Theresa gritted her teeth and refused Night Song’s suggestion. However, the latter did not show any surprise or anger, but shrugged indifferently: “I knew you wouldn’t cooperate, so I invited you here early in the morning! Come here, Rita, she’s in your hands now. Remember to get some information out of her before you ruin her.”

"Yes, teacher."

Rita revealed a mysterious smile, her eyes shining as she stared at Theresa. Theresa swallowed hard, a bad feeling creeping over her. She knew that Rita had a strange tendency to be a teacher-complex and a lolicon, but she had never done anything out of line because of her status. But today was different; she was a prisoner now!

"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle."

"You! Don't come any closer!"

Night Song turned her back, listening to Rita's laughter and Theresa's screams and groans behind her, and suddenly felt very depressed:

"Does this mean Theresa stole me from her?"

Section 173, page 169: I hope you won't be ungrateful (doge emoji).

“Teacher, Theresa has already confessed that we know the whereabouts of the Gem of Desire, but it seems to have already been implanted into a Valkyrie.”

Twenty minutes later, Rita wiped the sweat from her face, put the completely lifeless Theresa down from Judas, and walked smilingly to Nightsong's side, whispering to him about the information regarding the Gem of Desire: "The Gem of Desire has been sent by Lord Otto to the Oceania branch of Schicksal and implanted into the body of an A-rank Valkyrie, but it seems that it cannot be removed."

"It's alright, I've already gained enough power." Ye Ge waved his hand, walked over and picked up Theresa. He disgustedly shook the unknown liquid off his hands—cough cough, I meant saliva, don't overthink it—then used his right hand to pinch Theresa's cheek hard and pull it outwards. Theresa, with her mosquito coil eyes, immediately woke up and looked at Ye Ge with fear in her eyes, as if a little girl had seen a creepy old man (seriously).

"Ahem, little Theresa, I have a big business deal to discuss with you!"

Night Song gave a thumbs up, his eyes sparkling. Rita obediently stood behind him, serving as his backdrop. This made Theresa tremble again, thanks to Rita's... well, her soothing. Theresa's body had developed an instinctive fear of this female pervert, but she still retained a sliver of rationality, speaking in a cute, trembling voice:

"What do you want to do?"

Night Song revealed a satisfied expression and pointed his thumb behind him: "Although I can now achieve instantaneous global teleportation, I still don't have the proper procedures to go to the Oceania branch. So I've decided to borrow your Hyperion to go and retrieve the Gem of Desire. This is a great opportunity to eliminate the new Herrscher of Desire. I hope you won't be ungrateful."

Facing Night Song's smiling eyes, Theresa's eyes died again: "Don't even think about it. Hyperion is St. Freya's lifeline. If you lend it out, who knows what will happen? I'll definitely get scolded by Grandpa. If you're so capable, fly over there yourself and don't bother me!"

“You’ve got one thing wrong.” Night Song shook her index finger and then snapped it. The ground in St. Freya suddenly trembled slightly. Theresa’s expression changed. She was very familiar with this vibration. It was the vibration generated when the Hyperion’s Honkai Reactor and power system were activated. In other words, the Hyperion was now in the stage of preparing for takeoff.

"I'm just here to inform you; I don't intend to get your consent."

With a single move, Nightsong summoned the Oath of Judah, which flew over automatically, binding Theresa and tying her up like a dumpling. The originally heavy Judah seemed weightless in Nightsong's hands. He yawned, reached out and grabbed Rita's small hand, and under her gentle gaze, instantly teleported to the Hyperion.

"Wow! This captain's seat is so comfortable."

Leaving Judah aside, Nightsong took the captain's seat in the captain's cabin. Theresa, beside her, writhed like a molting snake, unable to escape the restraints of her weapon. She glared at Nightsong, who was lounging comfortably in the captain's chair, with murderous eyes: "You have no control of the Hyperion! Don't even think about taking it away!"

"That's it? You think this can stump me, Yege?" Yege raised an eyebrow, placed his hand on the control panel, and thin currents flowed from his fingertips. All the pointers lit up, and even a green cabbage head appeared on the screen in front of him: "Ai-chan is at the Captain's service."

"What? How could this be! You clearly don't have the authority!"

After tapping Theresa, who was questioning her life, Yege shrugged: "It's very simple. Just control the Honkai energy to force the Honkai reactor into operation, then drive the power system, and then use mechanical abilities to hack into this operating interface. Whether you have operating permissions or not doesn't really make much difference."

Night Song stood up from the captain's chair, his tone full of mockery: "Theresa, don't look at me with that disbelief. Although I haven't changed much, remember this: having devoured the Honkai God, I am the true god of this world." He pointed to his head: "I know all the truths of this world. Even the most advanced human technology is built step by step based on these truths. As long as I put in the effort, there's nothing I can't handle."

This time, it was Theresa's turn to be speechless. She suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was comparable to a god. As a nun, she still believed in God's omniscience and omnipotence, even though this guy had absolutely no divine magnanimity.

"Teacher, the Hyperion battleship is already at full speed and should reach the eastern part of Oceania in about ten hours." Rita placed a cup of black tea in front of Ye Ge, standing behind him with a tray in hand, like a maid in a noble household. Ye Ge took the tea, sipped it, and comfortably squinted his eyes.

"Ten hours? That's a bit slow. It seems the Hyperion's power system needs improvement. I'll help Theresa improve it. You're welcome!" With a tap on the armrest of the captain's chair, Night Song directly manipulated the pure Honkai energy in the Honkai reactor, setting its activity to the highest level. The energy in the reactor surged violently as if it had been ignited.

"Boss! The ship's propulsion system is operating beyond its limits! It's reached its maximum capacity!"

Ai-chan practically collapsed onto the screen, hurriedly giving her report, while Ye-ge merely nodded with little interest, sprawling out on the comfortable captain's chair like Ge You.

"Never mind it. Limits are meant to be broken. Let's test how much the Hyperion's power unit can break through its limits."

Night Song shrugged, completely ignoring Theresa's increasingly dark gaze, and opened Ai-chan's channel to start playing games. It has to be said that one very good thing about the technological age is the abundance of games and entertainment. I don't know why, but even though it's a warship, the Hyperion has a wealth of games.
