Zi-O is in the world of Kamen Rider Build

Although the [Dark Sword Moon Dark] of the earth has been recovered by the [Sword of Truth] organization, no one can guarantee that the situation will not continue to deteriorate.

Seeing that the people who were originally exhausted were full of fighting spirit again, Sophia couldn't help but smile with relief, but there was still a hint of worry in her smile.

After hesitating for a moment, she made a decision.

"I plan to go meet with Zi-O."

"no!"

Rentaro was the first to disagree with such a decision. "It's too dangerous!"

After all, Rentaro was raised by the Sword of Truth organization since he was a child, and it can be said that he grew up under the care of Sophia. It is not an exaggeration to say that "Sophia is the woman who can become my mother", so he did not dare to let this extremely important woman in his life take risks easily.

"But since this concerns the safety of the world and all mankind, we must unite all the forces that can be united as much as possible!"

After all, Sougo's strength is obvious to all. Killing [Megiddo] is as easy as killing a chicken. Even a veteran swordsman like Kamijou Daichi is no match for him, not to mention that his nature is not too bad.

If he had acted like a native of our country, let alone whether the swordsmen could survive at his hands today, he would have probably started to dominate the city with his own strength weeks ago.

Since the Sword of Truth organization is committed to saving the world and protecting all mankind, it should not be hostile to such a neutral and good character, but should take the initiative to make friends with him, or even invite him to join the organization, even if it is just to maintain a tacit relationship.

Ever since she was created as an artificial life form by the Lord of Truth in the ancient past, she had already prepared for today.

"Then I'll go with you!"

"me too!"

"No, I'll go alone."

Faced with the enraged swordsmen, Sophia insisted on going alone.

After all, the relationship between the two sides had already reached a freezing point due to the previous battle. If there were a few more swordsmen around, it would probably be a repeat of Circle Kick 2.0.

"Then that's it! Miss Sophia, please try your best to persuade the little Zi-O, and we will all go to the [Fantasy World] to stop the conspiracy of the earth and [Megiddo]!"

In the end, it was Ryo Onoue, who had the most experience, who made the final decision.

"This is the [Book of Destruction]. Once it is opened in the [Fantasy World], the entire [Fantasy World] will be destroyed, and the real world that is closely related to it will also be destroyed."

Under the Dongda Mazu Bridge, at the first human [Cast Off], Uncle Ren took out a book with an ancient cover and gave it to Sougo.

"Would you like to open it and give it a try? I guarantee that once you open it in the [Fantasy World], you will be able to destroy the entire world!"

"Stop it."

Sougo took the book with no intention of opening it, but instead kept it carefully to prevent it from falling into the hands of the wrong people.

"By the way, I don't think I've ever told you my story, right?"

"normal."

Uncle Ren sat cross-legged on the ground, looking as if he had aged hundreds of years. Sougo rolled his eyes and sat opposite Uncle Ren.

"It's normal for people to not trust each other. Not to mention that we've only known each other for a few days. If we become familiar with each other so quickly, that would be weird."

"That makes sense! I didn't expect that you, like me, see through the bad nature of human beings so clearly."

"Yes."

Uncle Ren laughed out loud with joy, but Sougo's next words made his laughter stop abruptly.

"But even so, I still love humans deeply. Rather, if we don't have a deep understanding of the strength, weakness, beauty, ugliness, etc. of humans, any kind of feeling towards humans would be biased, wouldn't it?"

"Are you trying to persuade me not to destroy humanity anymore?"

"I just think your hatred is very one-sided, that's all. Of course, there's no need for me to persuade you. After all, you, like Yingshan Ren, seem to have nothing left."

"Yingshan Ren? I remember you mentioned his name when you first met me. What did he go through?"

"He gave up everything just to protect humanity."

Sougo slowly told the story of Yingshan Jin, and Uncle Ren put away his usual smile and listened carefully.

"It's really similar to me, especially at the end, when all the loved ones, former friends, companions, and omnipotence are gone. There is nothing left! Hahahahahahahahahahaha——"

Uncle Ren's laughter lasted for a long time, and no one knew what he was laughing at. When his laughter was about to end, Sougo slowly asked:

"Do you want to die?"

"Of course!"

Uncle Ren still smiled. "Why else would I give you the Book of Destruction?"

"Betrayed by my companions, killed by my family, imprisoned for a thousand years, what is the difference between me now and the state I told you about before Yingshan Ren's death?"

"I have become empty and have nothing left. What do I have left except my hatred for humanity and the urge to destroy the world?"

“I have to say it’s a kind of irony. Obviously, I only wanted to die, but I was chosen by the [Unnamed Sword Void] and thus gained immortality! Hahahahahahahahaha——”

"So now you only have two choices left. Either you are killed by me, take back the [Book of Destruction] and destroy the world, or you kill me yourself and free me from the pain of a thousand years of imprisonment!"

"..."

"I understand."

After hesitating for a moment, Sougo made up his mind to kill the swordsman in front of him who was as miserable as Yingshan Jin.

Uncle Ren’s current situation is like that of the second son in the finale of “Hai Hu San”. His children, master, and sworn brothers are all dead. He has nothing in his life except his tyranny. He can only wait for his biological brother, the first son, to [save] him.

Even if the so-called "rescue" was an irony of killing him, it was still a great salvation for him at that time.

Different from the cruelty of killing Kamijou Daichi, he only felt pity for Uncle Ren in front of him.

"Tell me how to free you."

"Seize control of the [Unnamed Sword Void] and prove that the Void in your heart is even stronger than mine!"

"..."

Could you explain it a little more clearly?

Even though he was complaining in his heart, Sougo's body acted before his brain did and he took out the driver and the [Fantasy Driving Book], and Uncle Ren's face once again broke into a smile from the bottom of his heart.

Sougo stared at Uncle Ren's smile, as if he wanted to engrave it deeply into his memory, and began to transform.

"Transformation!"×2

"Draw your sword! Eternal Phoenix! Nothingness! The dark sword will return to nothingness!"

"Time Draw Sword! Zi-O Korinreki! Book of Time!"

The transformation special effects of the two collided with each other, and finally fell back on their respective bodies, turning into solid armor.

The next moment, the two swords collided violently.

This time, Sougo did not use any other strength, because if he wanted to achieve a level of nothingness that was higher than Uncle Ren's, it was definitely not something that could be achieved by simply crushing him with force.

Go think!

Fight and think at the same time!

How did Uncle Ren reach this level of nothingness today?

......

lose!

This man keeps losing until he is left with nothing, thus achieving the condition of inner emptiness.

Nothingness, huh?

If I want to surpass Uncle Ren’s current emptiness, do I also have to lose, or abandon everything, until I am alone in the end?

Suddenly, Sougo lost his focus and was knocked to the ground by Uncle Ren.

Uncle Ren no longer had the qualities of a swordsman as he used to. All he could think about was destroying the world, or seeking death. He pressed directly on Sougo, and the destructive orange-black flame from his [Unnamed Sword Void] pressed towards his neck.

"Come and make your choice. Even if you are mad as hell, you are a hero who doesn't want to harm any life!"

"Do you want me to live and continue destroying the world and everything you hold dear, or do you want me to die?"

"this......"

It can't be done!

Sougo can't give up anything, even if he pretends to think about it in his heart, he can't do it!

It can't be done!

I love human beings, but I will not abandon any existence around me for this, and I will not sacrifice any of them!

Since we can protect everyone, why should we abandon and sacrifice for no reason?

so......

I have to be all!

The thought flashed through his mind in a ten-thousandth of a second, and Sougo immediately grabbed the blade of the [Unnamed Sword Void] in his hand and rolled on the ground with Uncle Ren.

Sougo could feel that the control over the [Unnamed Sword Void] was being fought over by the two of them.

Although he didn't know how he achieved the state of nothingness without giving up anything, this didn't stop Sougo from continuing to fight.

Uncle Ren seemed to become even more insane at this. He pulled Sougo and the two of them rolled in the mud.

nothingness......

I can't do this kind of thing!

All I can do is to protect it with all my strength!

Because those are the people I love, and they are the ones I would risk everything to protect from any harm!

"Uh-"

Sougo felt as if he had gained some kind of enlightenment in his mind. He suddenly snatched the [Unnamed Sword Void] from Uncle Ren's hand and kicked it away.

He felt it!

[Unnamed Sword Void] was cheering, as if it was a part of his body, and the blood vessels seemed to be entangled in it, connected to his body!

"Yes, that's it!"

Uncle Ren was cheering, as if he had finally found his big enemy and was able to take all the burdens off of him.

“That’s what I want to see!”

"Zi-O, come on! For everything in this world that you want to protect, take my life away and put an end to it!"

"as you wish!"

This time, Uncle Ren did not struggle or defend himself. He allowed Sougo to step forward and pierce his chest with a sword, shattering his heart.

[Eternal Phoenix] no longer worked, and Uncle Ren felt the long-lost tranquility. His wife and children, whom he had not seen for a thousand years, were waving at him from the other side of the Naihe Bridge.

"Is this your huge and almost nihilistic desire? That's great. Take this sword and fulfill your wish!"

"farewell."

With his final farewell, Uncle Ren’s body turned into countless sparks and scattered away.

Perhaps thousands of years ago, Uncle Ren wanted to commit suicide, and his original body had already died. However, due to the influence of the [Unnamed Sword of Nothingness] and the [Eternal Phoenix], he was unable to live or die, so the elements that make up his body at this moment are pure energy.

For some reason, Sougo felt a little sad when Uncle Ren left.

"I'm sorry about Bakht."

Sophia in white appeared at some point, and her sadness was no less than Sougo's.

"Thousands of years ago, he was not this kind of person."

"Yeah. So could you please not disturb me when I'm sad?"

Sougo took the initiative to cancel his transformation, revealing his true face to Sofia, while looking the woman up and down.

"Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

"It's because it concerns the survival of the world, so I have to trouble you!"

Sophia plucked up the courage and took the initiative to contradict Sougo, which made Sougo feel a little unhappy.

"Tell me, what big mess have you, the Sword of Truth, made this time?"

Sophia was about to tell Sougo about the light column, and Sougo had no reason to refuse. He carried the [Unnamed Sword Void] he had just obtained on his shoulder and turned around to leave.

"Okay, I'll go."

"Your Excellency seems to have a lot of opinions about the swordsmen, and even about the Sword of Truth?"
