I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

"Naive! You don't think that using the threat of death can make the Demon God, who has experienced many reincarnations, surrender?"

Nue has overlooked one thing from the beginning to the end. Skeleton has always played the role of the "evil party". Anyone can make such a big promise, but it is not an idiot who easily believes others. Moreover, Nue now seems to treat the alien demon god as a precious research subject. Whether it will fulfill its promise is unknown.

"Listen carefully. Although the Demon God is a 'villain,' we will never sacrifice our companions to achieve our goals, and we will never betray our friends just to save our own lives."

There was a cold light flashing in Nue's eyes. He raised his hand to form a seal again, and the surging spiritual power quickly gathered in his hand. Having failed to persuade the enemy to surrender, Nue was ready to kill directly.

"Hmph, then go to hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nue waved his hand and the magic was activated. A huge amount of spiritual power surged out like a tide, and was about to completely submerge the skeleton.

Just when the Skeleton Demon was about to be destroyed, a rainbow beam of light suddenly descended between the two of them. A figure rushed out from it and collided head-on with the surging spiritual power.

boom!

The collision of rainbow light and spiritual power produced a violent explosion. After a loud bang, smoke spread instantly, and Nue's vision was also blocked. However, this did not prevent Nue from continuing to attack. It blew out a strong airflow with its hand, directly dispersing the smoke at the scene, and what came into view was a metal knight that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Ueya Inoue?"

"Dianwang?"

Although his appearance had changed, excluding the four-colored demon gods from another world, there were only two people in this world who could use this kind of covering armor to fight. The Skeleton and Nue present recognized him at a glance.

The blue mask with golden patterns and the amber compound eyes in the shape of lightning are somewhat similar in color to the holy pole form, but the armor on the body does not seem to be as thick as before. Masks of various basic forms are hung on both shoulders and chest, and behind are black wings wrapped with blue flame patterns. He exudes an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Celebrate!"

Inoue Ueya, who reappeared, raised his hand, and Kuin's Book of Shadows appeared out of thin air and fell into his hands. He shouted passionately: "He combines the power of urban legends, personas, and witches, travels between the past and the future, and protects the king of time and space. This is the moment he transforms into Kamen Rider Den-O's Apex form!"

Chapter 286: Your ambition will be crushed by us!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Book of Shadows in Inoue Ueya's hand disappeared without a trace. He took out a mobile phone from somewhere and used the selfie function to view his new appearance. Suddenly, Sadako's voice came out of Inoue Ueya's mouth.

"Tsk tsk, the Holy Rod Form has finally broken away from the old Heisei sidekick style of G3 and Gundam. However, this new look still gives Miss Sadako a bad feeling that she's going to get humiliated at any moment."

Inoue Ueya froze, his control instantly taken away by Natsukawa Hanako. He stamped his feet and gritted his teeth, "Damn it! If I hadn't lost the last rock-paper-scissors game..."

In order to avoid the transformation failure like last time, the girls had to decide who would be responsible for the transformation by rock-paper-scissors. However, when it came to a game like rock-paper-scissors that tested one's psychology and reaction ability, the others were no match for Sadako and she easily won.

[Hmm, the contest topic was set by Zhiye, so you can't blame me for that, okay?]

"Damn it, remember this, I will definitely win back next time!"

[Don't even think about it. Sachiko will be the winner next time. My husband belongs to me!]

[Well, Mary isn't going to give up either.]

[Logically speaking, a negative pole apex form should also exist, right? I want to try it too...]

The Skeleton Demon God lying on the ground muttered to himself. As a senior Demon God who had traveled to different worlds many times and a warrior who could remain calm in the face of a powerful enemy like Nue, his body still trembled uncontrollably after seeing clearly the identity of the Kamen Rider in front of him.

"There's no mistake, this is definitely the pinnacle form!"

Although the appearance of this Electric King was slightly different from the apex form known to the Skeleton Demon God, the various basic masks hanging on his shoulders and chest, and the schizophrenia-like condition caused by being possessed by multiple Demon Gods, did not indicate that he had already activated a more powerful form.

Long-forgotten memories were recalled once again. After transforming, he fell into a schizophrenic state due to being possessed by multiple people, and his behavior became unpredictable. The purple mask on his chest would open its mouth and shoot terrible energy bombs at the enemy that could destroy everything. The knight kick would make the mask move along the armor's track to the feet. These strange scenes emerged one by one from the Skeleton Demon God's mind.

This is not a question of strength difference. As a victim who has personally experienced the power of the strange ultimate move in the peak form, the fear brought by the psychological shadow of the past is too strong, causing the skeleton to develop symptoms similar to PTSD.

Although the skeleton didn't know why Inoue Ueya saved him, half of his body was blown off by the Nue, so he could only stay where he was for the time being until his injury recovered.

"Hmph, so fancy..."

Unlike the skeleton's reaction, although Nue's expression did not change at the sudden intervention of Inoue Ueya, his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. Although the aura that Nue felt from Inoue Ueya was still the same as before, without any change, he actually took his angry attack without any damage, and his strength had obviously become stronger.

"Inoue Ueya, can I take your actions as an attempt to go against me?"

This time, Nue was not going to hold back.

Even though Nue wanted to recruit Inoue Ueya, the other party came out again and again to hinder his actions, obviously not listening to what he said.

"Inoue Ueya" looked up at Nue, and Natsukawa Hanako just remembered that the battle was not over yet. When she was about to say something, the control of the body returned to Inoue Ueya himself.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Inoue Ueya shrugged, unhooking the parts hanging on both sides of his belt and saying, "I joined this battle because I wanted to defeat you."

Blue lightning flowed between the weapon parts in Inoue Ueya's hands. With the pull of the lightning, the parts were quickly combined into the familiar assembly pole.

"Bet your confidence and fight me."

The Nue ninja couldn't help but frown, as if it had met an opponent who was much stronger than itself. It actually felt an overwhelming sense of oppression from Inoue Ueya.

"Perfect body, the strongest Onmyoji, your ambitions will be crushed by me... no, by "we"!"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya subconsciously carried the assembled long pole on his shoulder. With a thud, he heard Yashayuki's scream in his mind.

[It hurts, my dear husband, you hit my head! ]

"Uh, h-sorry, are you okay?"

Inoue Ueya quickly took down the assembly pole, and the momentum that had just been built up disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed.

The strong contrast made Nue a little doubt whether he had just fallen into some strange illusion, but no matter what, he did hear the answer from Inoue Ueya's mouth.

"Although the power you wield is very interesting, and even made me want to recruit you, this does not mean that I will always tolerate your provocations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of a pentagram appeared in Nue's eyes, and he saw him forming seals and casting a spell again. When the Skeleton Demon God thought that Nue was going to use some troublesome moves again, the dark clouds and rainstorms originally summoned by Nue quickly dissipated at this moment, and the night sky that was obscured by the resentment caused by the reincarnation ceremony gradually returned to its original state.

The starry night sky came into everyone's eyes, but the stars in the sky seemed inexplicably huge at this moment, and even with the naked eye, the outlines of the planets could be seen. This situation was obviously problematic.

Inoue Ueya's body was once again controlled by Sadako. When he was about to attack Nue, a huge invisible force arrived first. The buildings around the street were covered with cracks in an instant, and then gradually collapsed.

The Nue seemed to be deliberately controlling its power. The unconscious Feathered Fox was not affected at all, but the Skeleton Demon God was not treated so well. Although it tried to break free, it did not have the strength to resist and was severely pressed to the ground by the invisible force.

Apart from the spellcaster Nue, the only one who was still able to stand was Inoue Ueya. He almost guessed what spell Nue was casting.

"Astronomical Manipulation" is one of Nue's moves. By moving the stars, it causes a large-scale change in gravity. If used with all its strength, the gravity can even affect the entire earth. Even the alien demon gods will be suppressed and unable to move. If it were an ordinary human, they would definitely die.

There was a flash of surprise in Nue's eyes, as if he had not expected that Inoue Ueya could actually withstand such a level of gravity.

"What's the point of just standing there? Your body can't function normally in this gravity."

The spell that Nue cast this time was originally aimed at the two people in front of him. By minimizing the range of gravity's influence as much as possible, he further enhanced the intensity of the gravity environment. Even if he had a perfect body, if he did not have a certain degree of understanding of this spell, he would probably not be able to break free from it.

However, even though the influence of gravity was still there, Inoue Ueya, who was standing in the same place, suddenly disappeared without a trace from under Nue's eyes.

"I'm right behind you right now."

Hearing the sound, Nue's pupils suddenly shrank. Before it could react, a strong sense of crisis came from behind.

Chapter 287: Do I Still Need to Ask This at This Time?

Inoue Ueya swung the assembled long pole in his hand towards the Nue, and both the speed and power were obviously several levels stronger than before.

Firstly, it was because Nue was concentrating on casting magic, and secondly, it did not expect that Inoue Ue could also break free from the multiple gravity environment. Before Nue could react, Inoue Ue had already attacked from behind it.

This was indeed a beautiful surprise attack, but unfortunately for Nue, the speed was still a little short of that.

Nue did not deliberately dodge, or rather, with its strength, there was no need to dodge at all.

"So what if you have the ability to teleport? The speed difference between you and me is an unbridgeable gap!"

Nue used the power of the high-speed mother-in-law to enter the acceleration state, turned around calmly and looked at Inoue Ueya behind him. The oncoming long pole slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if Inoue Ueya's movements were slowed down.

[Hey, the opponent's speed is starting to increase, we can't fall behind.]

Suddenly, scarlet lightning flowed all over the body of "Inoue Ueya", and the speed of his movements increased several times in an instant. In the eyes of Nue, the speed at which he swung the assembled long pole was constantly accelerating.

"Oh? If I remember correctly, this aura should be Kidomaru's "fear"."

Seeing that the assembled pole was about to hit him, Nue remained calm and formed hand seals and performed defensive spells, forming a spiritual barrier with a pentagram pattern in front of him.

The assembled long pole hit the spiritual barrier, causing ripples, but the force was still not enough to destroy the barrier.

[Oh, this is the time for Sachiko to take action!]

As he spoke, "Inoue Ueya" paused, stepped forward with his right foot, clenched his empty left hand into a fist, and scarlet lightning and golden violent spiritual power wrapped around his whole body. The two completely different forces of Natsukawa Hanako's "fear" and Yashaku Yuki's spiritual power actually merged into one at this moment, and Inoue Ueya's fist smashed towards the barrier.

A terrible gust of wind came along with the oncoming fist. A strong sense of danger rose in Nue's heart. His face instantly became extremely solemn, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

The oncoming fist hit the barrier at a speed invisible to the naked eye. An extremely powerful force burst out instantly, and the spiritual barrier was blown into pieces. The fist continued to attack Nue with the remaining force.

Although Nue was accelerating, the fist that Inoue Ueya swung at this moment had completely exceeded its reaction speed. The speed of the punch was like a bullet, and it hit Nue's face in the blink of an eye.

boom!

The next second, Nue's vision began to wander uncontrollably, like a kite with a broken string. Hit by the fist, it flew backwards several feet, and then fell heavily to the ground, without any resistance at all.

Although Inoue Ueya used the same old trick, using Mary's teleportation ability to launch a surprise attack, this level of power was completely different from the Blue Knight who had just been in a tough battle in Nijo Castle.

Nue got up from the ground, his face was extremely gloomy, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his original calmness completely disappeared without a trace at this moment. He glanced at the skeleton demon god lying on the ground and found that the other party was pressed to the ground by the invisible gravity and could not move. The gravity effect of "Astronomical Control" was still in effect, and it seemed that there was no problem.

Nue frowned, thinking to himself, even if his body was affected by multiple times the gravity, could Inoue Ueya's strength still be exerted to this extent?

Impossible. This time the spell was cast against the Skeleton Demon God and Inoue Ueya. The effect was much stronger than the original version cast on a large scale. If the opponent had the physical fitness to ignore an environment with more than ten times the gravity, that punch alone would be enough to send him into reincarnation again.

Nue fell into a brief silence, released his spiritual power, and carefully looked at Inoue Ueya's condition. Only then did he discover that an invisible force was wrapping around Inoue Ueya's whole body. The reason why the other party could ignore the gravity brought by the technique was probably related to that force.

"I see. You're using telekinesis to wrap your body around yourself to offset the effects of gravity?"

Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment came into Nue's mind.

Fighting with assembled long poles, telekinesis, space transfer, and that extremely proficient strength technique, these are all powers that Inoue Ueya has used in different transformation forms. There seem to be abilities that it has never seen before, such as the scarlet lightning that instantly increases Inoue Ueya's movement speed.

Nue is not a fool. After experiencing the brief offensive and defensive battle just now, it gradually realized that Inoue Ueya now seems to be able to use abilities from various forms.

"Using his own body as a vessel, he allowed the abilities of several urban legends to merge into one. Far from conflicting, the powers blended together perfectly, seamlessly, allowing his strength to instantly leap forward..."

At this point, Nue had to admit that Inoue Ueya's strength had grown to the point where it had to deal with him seriously.

In this case, there is only one answer!

As the lord of all ghosts, you should go all out when facing a powerful enemy!

Let the other party's heart be engulfed by fear, and use the overwhelming power to make the other party fall into complete despair, plunder more "fear" from the other party, use it as nutrients for growth, and further strengthen yourself!

A pitch-black sphere quickly condensed from between Nue's hands, faintly emitting dangerous fluctuations.

The next second, a wave of spiritual power emanated from Nue's body. Wherever the wave touched, countless black spheres appeared out of thin air. Following the guidance of the spiritual power wave, the black balls rapidly spread towards Inoue Ueya.

Objects touched by the black ball had spherical holes of varying sizes. These were not traces of damage caused by ordinary moves, but more like they were erased by something.

The black ball spread extremely quickly. Even Inoue Ue, who had entered the peak form, could only barely react and dodge before being hit.

Eternal Reincarnation is the ultimate technique developed based on astronomical manipulation. It is also the strongest Yin-Yang technique created by Nue. It further adjusts the gravity generated by astronomical manipulation and creates a black hole that is powerful enough to annihilate everything as a means of attack.

[Hmm, it looks like the other party is ready to get serious. Since you, Ueya, have decided to completely defeat Nue, then you should start by targeting his beliefs and areas of expertise... Stupid Ueya, are you willing to entrust your life to me?]

"Ha, you're still asking this at this time."

Inoue Ueya just chuckled and answered without hesitation.

"Just go for it, Sadako!"

Nue looked at Inoue Ueya, who stood motionless, and sneered, "You're frightened silly, right? The gravity of astronomical manipulation has a wider reach than you can imagine. Whether human or youkai, anyone touched by the black hole will be annihilated. Even you won't survive!"

Nue waved his hand, and the group of micro black holes attacked Inoue Ueya again, but this time the speed was faster and the black holes became denser.

"You seem very confident in your Yin-Yang magic?"

Faced with the group of micro black holes that attacked again, Inoue Ue did not dodge again, but walked forward.

Chapter 288 I never fight alone!

The defensive performance of the apex form is several levels stronger than the basic form. It can even withstand Nue's Yin-Yang magic head-on without any problem. However, it is hard to say when encountering the group of micro black holes in front of it. Even Sadako cannot guarantee that this set of armor will not be torn apart the moment it is touched by the black hole. The power of micro black holes is indeed not to be underestimated.

only--

No matter how powerful the attack is, it is meaningless if it cannot hit the target.

"Inoue Ueya" walked straight forward. The group of micro black holes attacking him seemed to be non-existent in front of him. The suction force emitted by the black holes seemed to be non-existent and could not cause any effect on him at all.

Witnessing this incredible scene, Nue ignored the provocation of "Inoue Ueya" at this time. His expression seemed a little dazed, and he felt extremely shocked in his heart. Putting aside the mental power that had been wrapping around his body, Inoue Ueya did not use any abilities from beginning to end this time. He just walked in the gap between the black holes until the spell completely dissipated. The magic secrets that he was proud of were unable to hurt Inoue Ueya at all.

"No way, is this the only level of strength that the so-called strongest Onmyoji possesses?"

There was a cold murderous intent flashing in Nue's eyes, and the strange patterns on his body had covered his entire body without him noticing. He felt inexplicably irritated in his heart. He had been in trouble one after another since his resurrection. Perhaps it was because his personality was affected by regaining his body, or it was also possible that his spirit was eroded by the high-speed mother-in-law. His originally calm state of mind disappeared without a trace, and a violent impulse began to emerge from the depths of Nue's heart.
