Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"Although it deviated somewhat from what I initially expected."

"But the basic effects have been achieved."

"The accumulated despair will turn into energy and enable the user to unleash a second form, also known as the witch form."

"In this form, the magical girl will have a completely new appearance, possessing great power while maintaining her rationality."

"Most importantly, injuries sustained in this form do not accumulate or have a feedback effect, which is perfect."

"Although there is a risk of things getting out of control, it's not a big problem, as long as we can get out."

Touching his chin, Dan Reidou paced back and forth in the laboratory.

At this moment, Dan Kuroto looks quite like the mysterious and domineering CEO he once was.

Unfortunately, some things, once lost, can never be regained.

For example, integrity, and image.

"It's out of control."

Scratching his head, Dan Kuroto was a little annoyed.

Although losing control is commonplace for the current Cavaliers.

Many new-era Riders have a very powerful but uncontrollable form.

Everyone has pretty much gotten used to it.

It seems that you can't be called a knight of the new era unless you lose control a little.

But for magical girls, losing control is probably out of the question.

A woman out of control...

The image of an enraged Poppy involuntarily flashed through his mind, and Dan Kuroto shook his head vigorously.

That's terrifying! We absolutely must overcome this tendency to lose control!

Having made up his mind, Dan Kuroto once again threw himself into the experiment.

This experiment cannot be considered a success unless the risk of it getting out of control is eliminated!

The products made are also failures and need to be disposed of!

However, before throwing himself into the experiment again, Dan Kuroto still packed up a copy of the data he had and sent it to Ryouma and Tokiwa Sougo.

On the one hand, it was to prove that he was still the first person to succeed.

On the other hand, it was to give the two of them a direction.

Before, that guy Luo Zhen said some strange things like time was about to accelerate.

The general idea is to ask them to improve their efficiency, right?

That's how Dan Kuroto understood it anyway.

On the other side, Luo Zhen, who had received Dan Kuroto's information, glanced at it briefly and then closed the file.

It's not that they can't understand it; Dan Kuroto usually writes his research results in a way that's easy for even a fool to understand, so as to accommodate others.

After all, in Dan Kuroto's eyes, most people were no different from fools.

Luo Zhen put away the documents simply because he had more important things to do at the moment.

Looking at the giant witch bound by tentacles of void power, Luo Zhen's eyes gleamed with golden light.

Chapter 963, Section 984: The Witch Who Fell into the Void

A giant witch descends on Witch's Night, a witch of stage props.

Its posture is like a doll in evening gown hanging upside down on a huge gear floating in the air.

Even powerful witches whose traces can be found in history don't need the protection of witch barriers.

For ordinary witches, the witch's barrier is something that serves as a form of protection.

But for the witch who uses stage props, it's nothing more than a constraint.

Looking around, only the witch of salvation, who is the incarnation of Madoka Kaname, is stronger than the witch of the stage props.

The origins of Witch's Night are no longer clear to anyone.

Some say the witch in the stage props is the form of a powerful magical girl who fell into utter despair.

Some say it was a powerful witch formed by a group of fallen souls surrounding a central point.

Luo Zhen personally leans towards the latter interpretation.

When the witch of the stage prop floats in the sky, her familiar pulls on the ropes attached to her neck, forming a circus and parading around.

It looked like a group of circus employees leading captive animals around for a performance.

The witch, who should be the main character, looks like an animal with no freedom whatsoever.

But the exact details are no longer important.

The witch, bound in mid-air by the power of the void, struggled uneasily.

The familiar, resembling a circus clown, was dismantled and fell to the ground in pieces.

Normally, these familiars are not aggressive.

Unless someone stands in their way and tries to stop their celebration.

Luo Zhen not only blocked their parade.

It even smashed the entire parade route to pieces.

Before the enraged familiars could launch an attack, they were smashed into the ground by Luo Zhen.

The clamor subsided in an instant.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

At the moment Luo Zhen launched his attack, golden light burst forth like the dawn's first rays of sunlight.

This drags Luo Zhen, along with the witch from the stage setup, into a strange world.

Witches aren't the only ones who can manipulate barriers.

"They've completely become a mess."

In the golden pupils, the witch's true nature as a stage prop is laid bare.

A bunch of disordered and chaotic souls merged together.

It looked like a pile of scrap iron bars that an apprentice with only a rudimentary skill had excitedly welded together with an electric welder.

It's like various colors of clay being randomly kneaded together.

Although it looks like a whole, the differences between its parts are very clear.

It's virtually impossible for Luo Zhen, who has no expertise in the realm of souls, to awaken the stage prop witch's soul on his own.

It's like he can't turn a boiled egg back into a raw egg and then hatch a chick.

In the realm of mysticism, this might be possible.

But for Luo Zhen, that was still too far away.

Perhaps if we can summon that god, there will still be a chance.

However, that person generally doesn't interact much with knights, and vice versa.

Although he is also a god in the world of knights, and almost omnipotent at that.

But knights generally don't deal with such pure gods.

On one hand, knights have more faith in their own fists and their companions than in gods or anything like that.

On the other hand, many knights are not purely human.

Let's leave aside the cyborgs from the Showa era.

Looking back on the Heisei era, Godai Yusuke fused with the spirit stone Yaguru, and Kurokami's attitude was hard to say.

It's hard to say what their attitude is towards Tsugami Shoichi and his surrounding area; they're just willing to give them a chance.

Among the later knights, there is Takumi Inui, a non-human, and Orphnoch.

Kenzaki Kazuma has become the Undead Joker.

Hibiki uses the power of demons, and in Kurokami's eyes, he is just a misguided child.

Hino Eiji has practically become a man of desire.

Kuzuha Kota becomes a god, Hojo Emu is infected with the Game Disease, and Kiryu Sento has Nebula Gas inside his body.

The Black God's attitude towards these children whose bodies were mixed with impurities was that they were still good children as long as they were willing to give up these powers.

But do you think it's possible to get these knights to give up their power?

Children develop their own thoughts as they grow up, and adults should also learn to give them some freedom.

Clearly, the Black God doesn't quite understand this principle.

However, for pure humans, the Black God is truly wonderful beyond words.

"laugh......"

Even though she was bound in mid-air by the tentacles of the void, the witch of the stage set continued to slowly rotate.

The familiar was dealt with in an instant.

But the witch in the stage props still wore that contemptuous smile with the corners of her mouth turned up.

Its enormous size, simply floating in the air, exerts immense pressure on people.

Unlike typical frenzied witches, the stage costume witch exudes a sense of composure; if she floats motionless in the air, she can even give the impression of being very quiet.

The ever-changing illusory light behind her actually added a touch of holiness to this fallen witch.

The stark contrast between depravity and evil and tranquility and holiness creates an extremely unsettling conflict.

Ordinary people would feel immense pain just by looking at this enormous witch.

Purple energy surged around him, carrying specks of light that shimmered like stardust.

After a brief moment of condensation, it shot towards Luo Zhen like an arrow.

However, the next second it was severed by the tentacles of the void power, turning into specks of starlight and disappearing into the air.

"Then let it sink."

The deep void beneath my feet surged and instantly filled the vast space.

Tentacles formed from a large amount of void power continuously climbed up the stage device, pulling the witch's enormous body into the deeper void.

What exactly is in the void?

Maybe there's nothing there.

I doubt this witch would like it too much.

Unsurprisingly, the witch from the stage set began to struggle wildly.

It seemed as if it sensed a great threat in the void.

Come to think of it.

In the world of the Little Knights, although in the end the Little Knights, who were born from the void, destroyed the Ancient God Radiance.

But the White King's attempt to utilize the power of the void was undoubtedly inviting trouble.

After destroying the ancient god's radiance, the void spread unchecked, devouring all light.

There has never been a righteous side between light and emptiness.

"------"

The witch, bound by the power of the void, let out a shriek.

The surrounding air seemed to ripple.

Purple energy continuously gathered and attacked Luo Zhen, but unsurprisingly, it was all crushed by the power of the void.
