I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

"Hmm... You're unexpectedly quiet today, Tohka?!" Thinking this, Shiori turned his head and looked at Tohka.

Lying on her back in the seat, the girl with long night-colored hair rolled her eyes, and even a white soul faintly emerged from her mouth.

"...I'm fine, really...I'm just a little full, eh."

As if noticing Shiori's gaze, "Tohka" said to Shiori with a pale face, and then continued to lie down pretending to be dead.

However, in the aisle not far away, which Shiori failed to notice, Niya, who was dressed as a cleaner, lowered the brim of her hat after confirming that Nanashi had not been exposed.

[Thank you for your hard work, Seven Sins]

After all, the real Tohka had already been sent to the lounge for a certain pink-haired girl to retrieve the full bottle.

......

Although he was a little worried about Tohka's condition, since she said there was no problem, there was no need for Shiori to worry too much.

There were several times in the past when Tohka ate too much and ended up lying on the ground, causing Shiori to have to carry Tohka back from the buffet restaurant, so Shiori didn't take it too seriously.

After a long wait, the curtain on the stage finally opened.

However, what greeted everyone was an empty stage.

"Ok?"

“What on earth are the organizers doing?”

“Where are the performers?”

"Could it be that the backstage is not ready yet?"

Shiori was not the only one who had doubts. The originally quiet theater also became noisy and bustling.

Chilled back.

Just as Shiori was still suspicious, a sticky feeling climbed up her shoulders and fingertips.

Even though he couldn't see it yet, Shiori was sure that something was about to appear on the stage.

Black swirl.

To be precise, a small black hole appeared in the center of the stage.

Then, under the illumination of countless spotlights, six performers dressed in very different styles of "strange costumes" stepped onto the stage.

Then, the stunned audience fell into a brief silence and stagnation, but what followed was not fear, but cheers. They probably regarded this weird and absurd scene as a special effect produced by some high-tech equipment. In fact, when a modern person encounters a scene beyond reality, usually the first reaction is "Ah, has the modern technology level reached such an exaggerated level?"

Rather than scaring themselves with unknown things, modern people living in the technological world prefer to accept some exaggerated phenomena with explanations that make them feel at ease.

But Shizhi was different from the onlookers and spectators. She knew the six people who appeared out of nowhere on the stage.

"Kamen Rider Evol... and Yui Miku and Origami..."

As a frequent customer of the store where she used to work part-time, Shiori had seen Miku many times, and as a classmate, Origami Shiori naturally knew her as well, and there was no way she could forget Ruler standing behind her holding a guitar.

However, it was this group of dangerous beings that openly stepped onto the stage of the Tianyang Festival.

Could it be that these guys want to do something to the audience present?

Shiori was so nervous that he couldn't help but hold the hourglass in front of his neck. If the six people on the stage made any unusual movements, even though Shiori might not be able to defeat them, he had to at least buy enough time for the audience to evacuate.

At the very least, Shiori was mentally prepared for this.

"Be the one, be the one!"

"All ringht!"

"Because we cannot abandon the Earth tomorrow."

It's a shame, though.

Until the singing started for a long time, the six people did not do anything out of the ordinary.

——It seemed as if the six people on the stage were really just here to perform.

Chapter 219: The Destruction of the World is Imminent

That is a song that has never been sung in this world.

Infuse your own will into the song to resonate with the audience. Even if the audience cannot understand the meaning of the language, they can still feel the emotions that the singer places on the melody.

However, Japanese, which is the universal language of the two-dimensional world in the entire universe, can be fully understood by everyone present.

If there is any shortcoming, it is probably the unfamiliarity of the accompaniment player with the instrument and the sense of rhythm. But this did not affect the overall effect of the performance. After all, the participants were all students, so it was understandable and tolerant.

Well... apart from Miku and Origami who are real students, there are only three adults over 20 years old and a fifty-year-old aunt mixed in.

Shiori, who was sitting in the audience ready to transform at any time, was also a little confused.

Could it be that these people are really just here for the show?

That shouldn't be the case. The performances at the Tianyang Festival are open only to students. More importantly, there is no substantial prize money for the so-called first place. At most, it can bring the school a gilded trophy and some fame.

Recalling the "German military uniform" on "Tanya" that looked like a cheap clearance item from an Akihabara role-playing store (it was actually a little torn), Shiori subconsciously muttered in his heart, these people are making such a big fuss, could it be that they are really doing it for the gold plating on the broken trophy?

It is absolutely impossible.

Faust, who claims to be from an evil organization, must be secretly planning some shocking conspiracy behind the scenes.

That being said.

But Origami was also on the stage, and even sang harmony with Kamen Rider Evol while holding a guitar. She was smiling quite happily, and there was no sign of being brainwashed at all.

In other words, if Origami is really related to Faust, she joined this organization based on her own will and ideas.

If Shiori were to describe it, it would be like the feeling of performing on the same stage with the older sister next door, right?

Three elves plus three knights (Blood Wasteland is classified as a knight series on the official website), isn’t your lineup a bit too luxurious? !

There were only three songs sung by Mijiu, and not counting the time spent in between to create atmosphere, the total performance was only half an hour.

After Faust and his group finished their performance, they were unable to cause any trouble, and Shiori, who had been holding the Resurrection Hourglass and on high alert, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what Shiori didn't know was that Kotori and Flaxinus had been monitoring the entire process since Faust and the others went on stage, and if there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately force Tohka and Shiori to transfer to the airship.

Although Shiori himself has completely severed his relationship with Ratatoskr, based on the idea that Shiori will fall in love with him sooner or later, and her unique "sealing power", Ratatoskr will still provide necessary support at the critical moment.

As for the combatants...

"If anything really happens, I'll leave it to you, Shinna."

Holding the Chupa Pearls in her mouth, Kotori sighed and looked behind her.

——Takamiya Mana.

Because AST was disbanded, and because of the internal strife in DEM club reportedly caused by "personnel changes" some time ago, they did not immediately transfer the "sister" of "Gokawa Shido" back. Kotori, who noticed this by chance, extended an olive branch to the magician lady without hesitation.

As for the result, the fact that Mana was able to stand on the bridge alone was enough to prove that Kotori had perfectly poached people from DEM.

"It's fine, but it's a little bit regrettable that Brother-sama becomes Onee-sama. Although Onee-sama is also very cute, it's still a pity."

There was something else going on in his words, and the way Mana looked at Shiori always made Kotori feel a little weird. It wasn't just Kotori who resonated with these words, even Reine and Kannazuki beside her nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, Reine is fine, but why are you joining in the fun, Kanna Tsuki!" As always, Kotori looked at the blond perverted deputy commander with disdain, while the other party showed a refreshed expression at Kotori's "insults".

In an instant, the bridge was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and all the staff laughed out loud.

However, at this moment, Kotori noticed something unusual.

Logically speaking, the performance was over, and Faust and his group should have left, but they were still standing on the stage, and the people at the scene seemed to have noticed this and made confused noises.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the knight in white armor took the microphone from Mijiu. As she slowly walked to the front of the stage, the spotlights in the venue followed her steps, as if they were specially cooperating with the knight. The audience just cast curious glances, thinking that this was some impromptu performance.

The White Knight first looked around the audience and raised her hand to signal for them to be quiet. Then there was a brief silence and all the audience focused their attention on her. In fact, the current scene was not only appearing in the theater, but also on all the playback devices connected to the Internet in Tiangong City. The scene in the theater was even played back with a close-up shot of her.

That was Homura Akemi's hacker attack. Although the Battle World had black technology like the manifestation device, the entire civilian network defense capability was completely unable to defend against Homura Akemi from the near future.

"Hey, good afternoon, everyone. I'm sure you must be wondering, who am I, occupying your time while you're watching TV or using your mobile phones for entertainment?"

Clearing her throat, Li Lin first turned up the volume of the microphone to the maximum, then she looked at the camera.

"You must want to insult me, or hit me online, for example, the players who were playing a ranked game and were about to win when I interrupted them, or the audience who were watching a crucial part of a TV series and my face took over the screen before the exciting content came out."

Li Lin said this in an arrogant tone and even opened his hands and turned around, as if showing off his appearance.

"But you will soon get rid of all those thoughts. Because you will no longer care about trivial matters."

Under the watchful eyes of Shiori, under the watchful eyes of everyone on Flaxinus, under the watchful eyes of the entire Tengu City.

"To you, I am a life form outside the domain, the destroyer of the world. My name is Evolto." Li Lin said.

She puffed out her chest confidently, her eyes flashing scarlet light, and then she added: "Next, I plan to destroy this city, and then the world."

——Are you a comedian from somewhere?! Don’t think we will believe you just because you are wearing a well-made special effects drama suit!

That's what the people watching the live broadcast wanted to say, until they saw with their own eyes that the black hole that popped out from the White Knight's fingertips swallowed up the entire ceiling of the theater.

Looking at the blue sky, everyone was stunned.

Because they confirmed it, and it's not a joke.

This woman is serious.

Chapter 220: Returning Everything to Nothingness

——The destruction of the world is imminent.

A huge black vortex unfolded in the air and continued to devour the upper part of the theater until the entire dome and the surrounding support frames were completely swallowed up. Then the vortex disappeared, leaving only a flawless blue sky for everyone in the theater.

Staring blankly at the blue sky, everyone felt that the values ​​they had built up in their long or short lives had been severely shattered.

They finally understood that the white knight in front of them was serious.

"Does anyone still think that I, a life form outside my domain, the destroyer of the world, am joking with you?"

The expanded voice of the topic echoed throughout the "open-air theater", but no one in the audience responded. It was better to say that they were so scared that they didn't know what to say. Of course, no one tried to leave their seats. After all, no one wanted to be the first to speak out when the situation was still unclear.

"As you can see, I only did a trivial thing. I am... just a little bit stronger than you."

Li Lin's index finger and thumb were slightly opened, leaving a small gap.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of killing any of the humans here. Because I love humans deeply, and so do my friends standing behind me."

This is not a lie. Li Lin would not attack innocent people. She just destroyed public property.

Even though she is mean and naughty, and has a bad heart, she is still a knight at heart, and she would not do anything to persecute innocent passers-by.

However, she is far from being qualified as a knight. A true knight should bring courage and faith, touching moments and passion to people, instead of spreading meaningless panic like her.

I am really a useless Kamen Rider, Godai-senpai, Kadoya-senpai...

But it's all about that, yes, that's it.

Then it’s your turn next, the hero of justice - Gokawa Shiori.

As if hearing Li Lin's call, Shizhi stood up from his seat.

“You must be kidding me, Origami! Is this what you meant by ‘the truth about everything is on the stage of the Tenyou Festival’?!”

"Of course it's more than that, my lovely Shiori." Abandoning the disguise of E-speaking voice, what came out from under the mask was Li Lin's original, soft voice that belonged only to a girl.

It was not the arrogant and serious Tan Yayin, nor was it the masculine tone of the flirtatious Kaneo Tetsuo.

"This voice..." Shizhi was slightly startled, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Could it be that this familiar voice is a lie?!"

Unbelievable emotions were churning in Shizhi's heart, and he held the hourglass in his hand tremblingly.

"Ah, yes, I'm the manager of the coffee shop you're familiar with. I'm also the executioner who slaughtered half of the intelligent civilizations in the universe, the destroyer of the worst and most evil world." In a sense, what Li Lin did was similar to what Thanos did, except that she didn't use a finger snap, but a clone and a knight kick, and also came with a permission block that permanently deleted the account.

Of course, that is a feat that can only be accomplished by Kuuga who has surpassed his ultimate form, and Black Hole E is far from reaching that realm.

There was an uproar, and the atmosphere in the theater reached its peak.

The people, who were originally like a stagnant pool of water, fell into panic after hearing Li Lin's speech.

Slaughtered half of the intelligent race in the universe?! What kind of evil monster could do such a thing?

"Half the universe..."

It was as if an invisible hand had strangled Shizhi's throat, making her lose the ability to speak. Facing Li Lin's words, she couldn't believe that the store manager who had always been kind to others and would try to help contact the family of a drunkard who fell on the roadside could do such a terrible thing.
