The story we started

"Not only did he plan to be a hero, but he even planned to have others hide it from me and mom after he died in the line of duty??? This time I will definitely complain to my dad and let him teach my current idiot brother a lesson when he returns! Let's see if he dares to act on his own without consulting his family when he becomes a policeman in the future!"

"Finally, uh--!!!"

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was far away in the infirmary of another high school, was also watching the light screen intently. When he saw that "Yoshiki Zaimokuza" lived up to everyone's expectations and arrived at the battlefield at the last minute, he just showed a relieved smile on his face, but suddenly he felt an extreme chill climbing up from his coccyx, making Kyosuke Kousaka shiver violently.

Moreover, this chill seemed familiar, just like the feeling he had when he was a kid and was naughty and glued his father's medal to his police uniform with glue, and his father stood behind him and watched him die without saying a word. It was like the devil had opened his eyes behind him.

However, this chill came and went quickly, and Kyosuke Kousaka quickly shifted his attention to other things.

"strangeness."

Kyosuke Kousaka stared at Zaimokuza holding the Titan Sword in the light curtain, with an indelible look of doubt in his eyes.

"I remember that this white Kuuga should be the most basic of all Zaimokuza's forms. Judging from his previous performance, this form's only feature is that it has stronger recovery capabilities, but it shouldn't have any special abilities."

“And if I remember correctly, the ability values ​​of Kuuga in this form are much weaker than those in other forms. How did he manage to use the Titan Sword to block the attack of No. 25? It’s obvious that he needs at least the purple form to fight head-on…”

"...Wait, Titan Sword???"

Kyosuke Kousaka finally discovered something was wrong. He hurriedly looked at the Titan Sword held in the hand of "Yoshiki Zaimokuza", staring at the big sword with an incredible look in his eyes.

“Isn’t the Titan Sword a weapon exclusive to the purple form? Even though Kuuga has the ability to transform objects of similar appearance into his own weapons, each form can only produce weapons specific to that form!”

"But why is it that Zaimokuza, who is now in the white Kuuga form, can use the Titan Sword that only the purple form has!?"

【"you……"】

[When he saw the familiar figure in front of him, Kousaka Kyosuke's tense body suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. ]

[“You’re so slow.”]

【"hey-hey……"】

【Zaimokuza also reached out and touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and the two of them on the battlefield looked at each other and laughed.】

[Kousaka Kyousuke did not ask Zaimokuza how he had cured the poison and recovered, and Zaimokuza did not ask Kousaka Kyousuke why he did not seem surprised at his arrival.]

[This is a unique tacit understanding between them. After so many life-and-death battles together, some words are no longer necessary for them. The connection between the two of them is so close that they can understand each other's thoughts even if they are separated by two places.]

[However, compared to the indifference that Kousaka Kyosuke showed when Zaimokuza, who was originally seriously injured and dying, appeared here, the other intelligent creature at the scene was not so calm at all. ]

[“——How is it possible!?”]

[The severed tentacles were waving wildly due to the excitement of the main body. Ginoga, who was in the shell of this giant plant, saw Zaimokuza appear in front of him through the eyes generated outside the body surface and blocked the attack for Kousaka Kyosuke who was originally doomed to die. His voice was full of horror and disbelief.]

[“KUUGA! Shouldn’t you be dead by now!?”]

[“You’ve clearly been poisoned by me, how is it possible that you’re still here now!”]

【Ginoga said he couldn't accept the fact that Zaimokuza was still intact.】

[No one in the world knows better than it how deadly its toxin is. It is no exaggeration to say that, let alone the players of the 'ME' and 'GO' groups, Ginoga feels that even the referees of 'RA' will be completely killed after being poisoned, even if they don't die.]

[This is not an exaggeration. Even before he had the power he has now, Ginoga's toxins were so toxic that they could easily kill Gurongi of the same level. Not to mention now, he is fully confident that he can kill Gurongi of the GO Group who are one level higher than him with his enhanced toxins. This is also Ginoga's proud trump card.]

[But this confidence in its own poison was completely shattered after Zaimokuza appeared. It couldn't believe it at all. How could someone appear again just one day after being poisoned by its poison? And even seemed to be unharmed???]

[——Let alone the current KUUGA, even 'Him' may not be able to do this! ]

[When this self-confidence in his own abilities was shattered by facts, it was replaced by incomparable madness and hysteria. Ginoga would never admit that anyone was immune to his toxins. He would never admit it! ]

[“Even if you appear here now, so what! You just came to my door on your own initiative!”]

[Ginoga stared at Zaimokuza who turned around because of his roar, and saw that he still maintained his newborn form. The panic in his heart that he didn't want to admit to himself slowly subsided at this moment, and there was even a hint of smugness. ]

[Right! How could someone be intact after being poisoned by himself? Even if KUUGA could be cured, it must have cost him a great price. The fact that he still maintains his white form is proof of that!]

【Ginoga is naturally very familiar with Kuuga's abilities, as he is the old enemy who has been entangled with his clan since ancient times. He knows that in addition to the four color forms with unique abilities, he also has a white form that does not have any special abilities, but has very strong recovery and endurance. It can be said that this form is used to save lives.】

[But as a price, this form's power is overwhelmingly inferior to all other forms. Even that useless bat from the 'ZU' group can beat up Kuuga in this form. And Ginoga can easily kill more than a hundred of the Goomas! ]

[This immediately made Ginoga feel relieved, and he felt that he was able to do it again, and then he challenged Zaimokuza in a ferocious tone. ]

[“I thought you were dead. I can get special points in the game by killing GO, but it doesn’t matter if you are not dead!”]

[“GO has been beaten so badly that he can’t stand up. Even if you come, you’re just one person. I can kill both of you at once! This time, I will take both of your heads to that woman from ‘RA’ to get the reward I deserve!”]

[“Although there is something I want to say to Mr. Kosaka… but it seems that now is not the right time.”]

[Zaimokuza, holding the Titan Sword, looked up at Ginoga and said calmly, his voice changing from a smile.]

[“At least if we want to have a quiet conversation, we have to get rid of this invasive plant first.”]

[“Are you okay on your own?”]

[Kousaka Kyousuke said as he stood up with all his strength, and walked to Zaimokuza's side with a serious look, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and together they looked up at the strange plant in front of them that blocked the sun and cast a shadow.]

[“Although I don’t want to admit it, the strength of No. 25 is indeed far beyond the unconfirmed life forms that appeared before it. If any of us fight it alone, the result will be more losses than wins. Only by joining forces can we ensure that it will be expelled, just like the previous battle in Shinjuku District.”]

[“But now I’m——cough cough!!!”]

["Mr. Kousaka!?"]

[Just halfway through his speech, Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and then he covered his mouth in pain and started coughing. ]

[“Ahem… As you can see, my injuries no longer allow me to engage in any high-intensity combat.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke stopped coughing and looked at the blood on his palm. He smiled bitterly and said to Zaimokuza who turned around and looked at him.]

[“…I’m sorry. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to provide you with support from now on.”]

【"It doesn't matter."】

[Zaimokuza shook his head, took a big step to the front of Kousaka Kyosuke, and said while blocking the severely injured Kousaka behind him.]

[“Mr. Kosaka, you’ve done well enough. Take a good rest now.”]

[“——Number 25, just let me handle it.”]

[He looked up at Ginoga, his voice gradually becoming colder, and every word he said was as if he had ice in his mouth with a stinging chill.]

[“I still have a debt to settle with it… Thanks to it, I had a good dream.”]

[“Are you sure?”]

【Zaimokuza did not respond to his question this time.】

[He just turned his back to Kousaka Kyosuke and raised his right hand, giving a thumbs up.]

【Looking at that familiar thumb, Kousaka Kyosuke smiled, and he retreated a little bit, speaking softly.】

[“Then everything from now on is up to you. Don’t lose.”]

[“Please rest assured. Although it may sound arrogant to say this, I really feel that I am now——”]

[Because of his position, Kousaka Kyosuke did not see that Zaimokuza's compound eyes changed little by little as he spoke, and soon turned from purple back to its original red.]

[But Zaimokuza still held the Titan sword tightly in his hand. He stared at the dark shadow that blocked out the sun and sky with his red eyes. His voice was clear and peaceful, and every word he said was as melodious as the sky.]

[Faintly, a different color from before gradually spread out from the center of his compound eyes, dyeing the fiery red with a hint of golden color.]

[“It seems like anything can be done.”]

[“Go to hell!!!”]

[What responded to Zaimokuza's words was a roar at the top of his lungs and dozens of tentacles shooting out at him.]

[Ginoga's originally severed tentacles were repaired at an extremely fast speed during the time the two of them were talking. It showed no mercy to Zaimokuza, and countless flexible tentacles stabbed at Zaimokuza from all directions and angles. The momentum of the tips tearing through the air was like a volley of arrows fired at two armies in ancient times! ]

[But facing such an attack that covered the entire surrounding area, Zaimokuza did not dodge at all, and allowed those tentacles to pierce his position. ]

[clang clang clang——]

[The tentacles penetrated the road surface with ease. The solid concrete was as fragile as soft butter under these soft tentacles. The tentacles easily penetrated the wooden base and the surrounding ground, even covering the figure.]

【“!”】

[When seeing this scene, even though Kousaka Kyosuke had confidence in Zaimokuza, his heart still tightened. ]

【What happened next made him feel relieved. 】

[In the middle of those tentacles, a golden-red sword light like the bright sun flashed, and then a blazing flame burst out. ]

[All the attacking tentacles were burned in this wave of blooming flames and incinerated into ash in the high temperature, revealing the flame-wrapped figure below.]

【"What!?"】

[The intense burning pain was transmitted from the burnt tentacle end to Ginoga's body through the nerves, but he no longer cared about feeling the pain, but instead looked at the red warrior who appeared in the flames in extreme shock.]

[“This is… the red Kuuga! But why—”]

[Kousaka Kyousuke put down his arm that was shielding him from the intense heat, and stared blankly at Zaimokuza that appeared in the gradually fading flames.]

[At some point, the white armor of the newborn form has turned back to the familiar red color, and now Zaimokuza, who has turned back to the red omnipotent form, lowers his head in the flames around him, but still holds the Titan sword that only the Titan form has in his hand.]

【Om—】

[The surrounding flames seemed to have life at this moment, and they kept flowing back into the purple pearl in the center of the Titan Sword's hilt in an unreasonable way. As the flames flowed in, the color of the originally pure purple pearl kept changing.]

[Finally, when the flames completely poured in, the color of the pearls changed from purple to red.]

[The spirit stone on the waist glowed with dazzling red light. Under the reflection of this red light, the purple-gold blade of the Titan Sword began to transform. The blood-red color gradually replaced the original purple area, turning the entire sword into a red-gold sword with a golden base.]

[Kuga·Almighty Form·Titan Sword (Power of Fire).]

【“Come on, round two!”】

[Zaimokuza raised his head, and his compound eyes and the jewels on his great sword began to glow red like flames, and flames rose from the blade.]

[Buzz—buzz—buzz—]

[The spiritual stone on his waist flashed a dazzling golden color among the flickering red.]

There is no sense of violation and

32. Evil is burned in flames (9K)

Higher Education School, student dormitory.

"This is……"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at the almighty Kuuga holding the Titan Greatsword in the light curtain, and his calm eyes suddenly narrowed.

As the ultimate masterpiece of the "White Room" project, an artificial genius, his abilities in all aspects far exceed the average of ordinary people, including physical abilities and naturally vision.

So he saw it very clearly. When the flames around "Yoshiki Zaimokuza" poured into the Titan Sword Jewel, the text in the Jewel also changed synchronously with the change of the color of the Titan Sword.

In the red light, the totem of "Earth" representing the element of earth turned into "Flame" representing the element of fire!

"The original elemental properties of the Titan Sword have been changed??? That's not right!"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka stared at the totem closely, his eyes slightly disturbed by his inner doubt.

"It's not so much that the elemental properties have been changed, but rather that... two different elemental powers are merging?"

"The Titan Sword was originally a weapon unique to Kuuga's Titan form. No other form can use it. The totem written on the jewel on the hilt represents the element of 'Earth', one of Kuuga's four elements. This also indirectly proves that the Titan Sword is actually completely bound to the element of 'Earth', so forms representing other elemental powers cannot transform it."

"But Zaimokuza Yoshiki is currently in an all-powerful form where his main fighting style is fists and feet, and his elemental power is 'fire'. Yet he has taken out the Titan Sword that represents the element of 'earth'... This can only mean one thing."

With his fingers tightly gripping the handle of the seat, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka narrowed his eyes as he thought, and a sharp light like a sword passed under his eyelids.

“That is, the power of ‘fire’ in the almighty form and the power of ‘earth’ in the Titan form merged with each other, so Zaimokuza Yoshiki was able to use the Titan Sword in the form of Red Kuuga… But is it really that simple?”

He couldn't help but think of what happened when "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" was seriously injured by Ginoga's sneak attack. At that time, the opponent was too seriously injured to control the balance of the elemental forces in his body, resulting in a violent rejection reaction inside and outside the body.

At that time, the different elemental forces showed strong resistance to each other as soon as they came into contact, let alone coordinating with each other. The conflict that broke out between them caused the main body "Yoshiki Zaimokuza" to suffer further injuries, and he almost died.

This shows that even if the main body is the same, the elemental powers representing different attributes are not so easy to use together. But now, only one day has passed, and "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" can combine the two forces that were originally as incompatible as water and fire. There must be a problem here.

"...Sure enough, the problem lies with that golden energy?"
