Zi-O is in the world of Kamen Rider Build

"And what's wrong with you?"

There were a lot of scrutinizing eyes looking up and down at Kagurazaki. In Yangma's eyes, Kagurazaki was just an old fox and a big liar who would not get up early unless there was profit. Now he took the initiative to jump out and act as the think tank of the team, which was inconsistent with his personality, making Yangma doubt him.

"Tell me, have you reached some kind of agreement with Lacules behind the scenes again?"

After all, Kagurazaki has a history of betraying Kira, and even borrowed the [God Rhinoceros Beetle] from Lacules, which further increases the possibility of suspicion.

In response, Kagurazaki just smiled bitterly.

If the situation wasn't urgent, he probably wouldn't have been the first to take action even if it meant killing Kagurasaki.

"Because I suspect that next, Lacules intends to order Zi-O to take action against each of us, kidnap us like Himeno, and control us, so as to control our country."

"how is this possible?"

Yang Ma retorted, "Even if I am really caught, the Tech Country will never surrender to that guy Lacules."

"Have you ever considered the King?"

"What if Lacules controls the entire Monarch by controlling the God Rhinoceros Beetle and the God Poison Scorpion, or even controls us, and then orders the Monarch to attack your country?"

"In other words, even if Lacules does not send out the [King], he only needs to stand by and watch every time the [Mushi Naraku] attacks the Technology Country."

"You have also asked the agricultural country to cut off food supplies, the medical country to cut off medical supplies, and the Ice and Snow Country does not support you legally. How long can the isolated and helpless Technological Country hold out?"

"And you've seen it, right? How hard the people of the Medical Kingdom have worked to save their queen. If Lacules told them that they could save their queen as long as they swore allegiance to him, do you think they would dare to disobey?"

!!!

When these words were spoken, Yang Ma was so frightened that his hair stood on end and cold sweat broke out.

"He, he shouldn't be that cruel, right?" Such a horrifying guess made Kira nervous.

"Have you forgotten where Lacules was when we first met Zi-O? What was he doing when the people of the Guardian Country were being invaded by [Mushi Naraku]?"

"..."

Nothing to say.

Although the Five Powers Alliance was legally united, a great man once said: "Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon."

If Lacules really completes the control of the "Monarchs" by kidnapping all the kings and Kira, and with the invasion of "Mushi Naraku", he can easily conquer all those who are willing to submit to him with one hand of stick and the other hand of carrot.

As for those who are unwilling to surrender, they will naturally be allowed to be destroyed by [Mushi Naraku] without even dirtying Lacules' hands.

"This guy, as long as he protects the country and everything is safe, he doesn't care what happens to other countries?"

After Kagurazaki's easy-to-understand explanation, Kira finally understood the ins and outs of the matter and the causes and consequences, and couldn't help but curse out loud.

"That's why I said, the situation is urgent now."

The so-called negotiation is premised on the fact that both parties are roughly equal.

But when one side demonstrates strength that far surpasses its own, is it still possible to have normal negotiations, or even cooperation?

I'm afraid not?

As long as Sougo attacks the other kings and kidnaps them directly, all people and all countries will become fools at the mercy of Lacules.

"If the evidence is irrefutable, I, Lita Ganiska, and the Ice and Snow Nation will do our utmost to capture Lacules!"

Lita was the first to speak out.

As the highest judge in the Five Nations Alliance, she could not allow Lacules to trample on the lives of others and the order of the human world like this.

"Count me in."

Yang Ma raised his hands like a delinquent, with an unhappy expression on his face.

“I will never give in to that bastard Lacules. Even if my opponent is Lacules and Zi-O, I will fight them to the end with my pride and determination. Similarly, I will protect everything in the Technology Country!”

"This is me. I am myself, and I am the Minister of Science and Technology!"

After the two kings expressed their opinions, they all looked at Kagurazaki, following Kira, as if asking with their eyes, "What about you?"

"Well, since you guys said so, I have no choice but to join!"

After all, the current Lacules has the possibility of taking action against all the kings. Even if Kagurazaki has done various PY deals with Lacules behind the scenes, he is still worried and cannot trust him completely.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Kira felt like he was on fire.

"Why not join forces now, break into the palace and seize his throne!"

"The prerequisite is that we must have the power to defeat Zi-O."

All in all, if Sougo hadn't displayed such strong fighting ability and even kidnapped Himeno, Kagurazaki would not have been able to change camp so decisively.

"Didi-di-di-di-di-di-di-"

The shrill alarm sounded in everyone's ears.

But unlike the usual [Mushi Naraku] invasion alarm, this kind of alarm sounded more urgently and the lights flickered.

"this is?"

"I detected that the energy fluctuations on Zi-O seem to be somewhat different from those of other [Mushi Naraku], and considering how difficult he is, I prepared a detection and alarm system for him."

"That is to say?"

"Yes, Zi-O appears again."

While answering the questions, Yang Ma used gesture control to turn off the alarm and then brought up a huge screen projection.

At the back mountain of the Todai Mazu Temple, Sougo was building a fire to prepare for a barbecue, while Himeno was tied to the side, unable to move.

"Oh no!"

Kira yelled, "That Zi-O guy must have been unable to convince Himeno and was planning to roast her and eat her!"

"Kira, you are such a stupid raccoon cat, why are you so imaginative!"

"Anyway, let's go and rescue them!"

"Don't rush yet."

Seeing Kira's anxious look, Yangma frowned and pulled him back.

"The research on the ultimate cannon has not been completed yet. You will die if you go there."

"Then we can't just leave Ji Ye alone without saving him, right?"

"They are being watched by the surveillance cameras. If any accident really happens, we will use the transmission system to rescue people immediately. But before that, we must wait until the fatal cannon is completed. Otherwise, in the end, we may not be able to save anyone, and even lose ourselves!"

"......All right."

Time went back to five minutes ago. Sougo carried Himeno to the back mountain of the Todai Mazu Temple, then threw Himeno to the ground to wake him up.

"here it is?"

The strong feeling of dizziness came over her like waves, making Ji Ye, who had just opened her eyes, drowsy. At the same time, the glare of the sunlight was like when her roommate turned on all the lights in the dormitory when she was sleeping soundly, making her feel almost blind.

Despite this, Jiye still relied on his strong willpower to stay awake instead of taking a nap.

"So hungry."

After barely staying awake, the first thing that came over him was hunger and thirst, making Jiye feel as if he had been surviving in this state of hunger and thirst for a week.

"I remember after I used the secret technique... Zi-O!"

The moment Ji Ye remembered the cave memory, she jumped up from the ground, but she found that her hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes.

Recalling more details, Ji Ye couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. He hurriedly checked his body, only to find that his skin was sticky all over, as if covered with a layer of unknown liquid.

"You, what exactly did you do to me?"

Ji Ye felt that his innocence in this life was completely gone, and he wished he could kneel down in front of all the citizens of the Medical Country and commit suicide.

"What are these sticky liquids? Why do I feel so familiar with them?"

"This is the skin cream you often use, so of course it feels familiar to you."

Sougo replied as he prepared the barbecue: "I don't understand the dosage issue either, so I'll just mix it all up."

"Do you want my skin to fester and I to die in an ugly way?"

After feeling inexplicably relieved, Ji Ye quickly used his clothes to wipe off the excess skin cream on his body.

But halfway through shaving, she suddenly froze.

“Hey! Zi-O! What the hell did you do to me!?”

"Shh-"

Sougo gestured to keep quiet.

“My grandma once said: The time of enjoying delicious food is happy, but the time of waiting for the delicious food to be out of the oven is the happiest.”

He was grilling meat at the moment, but Ji Ye didn't want to just wait like this. She had to find a way to ask for help and save herself.

Her eyes rolled around and she quickly came up with a new and good idea.

"If I remember correctly, your grandmother seemed to have said: There are two things men should not do: make girls cry and waste food. I think you are not a man!"

"What's the matter?"

"You made me cry!"

"..."

Faced with Ji Ye's accusation, which was almost in tears, Sougo was speechless for a moment, and felt a little annoyed.

"Didn't you make yourself cry? Why are you blaming me for it?"

"I don't care! It's all your fault!"

For some reason, during the conversation with Sougo, Himeno also inexplicably developed a sense of déjà vu, and felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

"Okay, blame it all on me. I'm not a man, okay?"

Sougo slid to his knees at the speed of light, then took out a skewer of freshly grilled meat that was emitting heat and fragrance and handed it to Himeno.

"So I'll treat you to barbecue."

!!!

The moment she smelled the fragrance, Ji Ye felt as if her soul was being hooked away. Her stomach protested violently, as if she had been hungry for a week, wanting her to give in and surrender quickly.

Even though Sougo replenished her body with some nutrients in time, it could not completely eliminate Himeno's feeling of hunger, but made her even hungrier.

I want to eat...

No! You can't eat it!

But I really, really want to...

"You're not planning on turning me into human flesh, poisoning me, or giving me some aphrodisiac, are you?"

Ji Ye forced himself to swallow his saliva, turned his head to the side, and held his breath, not wanting the aroma of the barbecue to continue affecting his brain nerves.

"How is it possible? I was raised by humans and grew up eating human food. In my opinion, food is sacred and should not be desecrated. How could I do such a thing?"

Everything Sougo said was true, provided that the falsehood could be put aside and he was considered to be [Mushi Naraku].

"what?"

It turns out that he is [Mushi Naraku] who was raised by humans.

It was not until this moment that Ji Ye suddenly realized and finally understood where the strange feeling in his heart came from.

Because Sougo behaves too much like a human being, and not a monster like "Mushi Naraku" who is mortal enemies with humans, he has such a weird and out-of-place feeling.

However, this made Jiye's emotions more stable, and he kept persuading himself in his heart:

Don't treat it as a [worm Naraku], treat it as a human!

Don't treat it as a [worm Naraku], treat it as a human!

......

Soon, she put away her hostility and regained her calm expression.

"Why? Why did you attack and kidnap me?"

"It was simple revenge, nothing more."

"Revenge?" Ji Ye's eyebrows were raised. "Did your parents who raised you raise you to take revenge on humans in this way?"
