My youth story cannot be a knight war

As he got on his scooter, his phone rang, and Kousaka Kyosuke spoke rapidly.

"Zaimokuza, number three has appeared, targeting the North District!"

……

[An abandoned factory in North District, near Banqiao District.]

Baruba stood at the factory window and looked out. What he saw was a charred earth and many buildings under reconstruction.

A month ago, the battle between Zaimokuza and No. 33 inflicted immense damage on the city of Tokyo. The entire Itabashi district was nearly completely flattened by the aftermath of the attack. Looking down from a plane above Tokyo, the Itabashi area would be utterly drenched in darkness, like an indelible stain on a polygonal dinner plate, glaringly so.

Although the reconstruction project had begun, a month wasn't enough time to complete the reconstruction of Banqiao District. As a result, the scenery from Baruba was completely devastated, like a deserted wasteland.

"What's the matter with you coming here now?"

She looked out the window and suddenly spoke indifferently, her voice echoing through the empty factory.

Baruba slowly looked up and saw a huge black shadow hanging upside down on the factory roof, like a bat.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Gooma simply stopped hiding and spread his wings to jump off the roof, landing not far from Baruba.

"Where is Daguba?"

[Amidst the hoarse questioning, the terrifying figure on the ground transformed into a human form. The gloomy man stared intently at Baruba.]

It quickly walked up to Baruba and locked eyes with her at a very close distance. Seeing this woman who had trampled on its dignity countless times, Gooma's eyes were filled with anger, and beneath that anger was a subtle hint of fear.

[The anger stems from her resentment for what she had done to him, while the fear stems from the other party's unfathomable strength.]

Baruba keenly noticed the fear hidden in Gooma's eyes, and a smile formed on his lips.

[Bright and unique, yet with a subtle irony, just as Gooma remembered.]

“What’s the point of knowing that?”

【Snapped! 】

This familiar smile, coupled with these words, directly stimulated Gooma's sensitive and fragile nerves, causing it to lose its mind in an instant and violently wave its arms towards Baruba.

The slap sent Baruba swerving, causing her to turn her head away. Gooma glared at her with a fierce expression, her voice filled with undisguised violence.

"Tell me where he is!"

【“…”】

Baruba slowly turned her head to look at Gooma, whose eyes were wide open. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her broken mouth.

"You're shaking all over."

"So what?!"

[He suddenly pressed down his hand, which was shaking after beating the other person, and angrily refuted Baruba's words. But she just looked at him calmly, the smile on her lips still unchanged.]

[But seeing her reaction, Gooma could no longer endure it. He felt as if the nerve representing rationality in his brain had snapped.]

[Whether in modern times or in the ancient times, the Baruba Gooma saw in her memories always had this expression, always looking down on her, indifferent to everything, yet she always felt as if she was looking down on her all the time.]

[It's like this every time! It's always like this! But this face is the only thing I hate!]

"Everything I did wasn't just to kill Daguba! It was also to avenge you and all those who looked down on me! I will return the pain you've inflicted upon me a hundredfold!"

As if to hide his fear and cowardice, Gooma furiously raised his palm and clenched it into a fist, intending to punch Baruba again.

But its swinging fist suddenly stopped, and it could no longer move forward—because another hand with five sharp fingers tightly grasped Gooma's wrist, and the overwhelming wrist strength completely controlled its movements.

"You said, 'I'm no longer the same as before'?"

【“!”】

A cold and dignified voice came from behind. Gooma's pupils constricted upon hearing this familiar voice. He turned his head sharply and met her gaze with a pair of narrow golden eyes.

"But the result—is this the pathetic state you're in now?"

29. The Strongest in GO (4K)

Go-Gadoru-Ba.

According to the timeline, this Gurongi in the form of a man in military uniform was the first Gurongi of the "GO" group to appear in the field of vision of all the audiences. Compared with Baruba's previous vague verbal explanation, it was also the one who officially revealed to the audience the detailed segmentation of "Kikiru" and the hierarchy of the Gurongi, and it can be regarded as a role similar to a commentator.

After the previous video disappeared and was replaced by a light screen, the network returned to normal. Some curious people who could no longer contain their curiosity made a battle power ranking chart of the characters that appeared based on the information revealed in the previous video. Both human and Gurongi characters were included, and the chart is still being updated in real time.

Talking about character's combat power has always been one of the biggest hobbies of all netizens, regardless of national boundaries.

This combat power chart has a trapezoidal structure, divided from the highest S-level to the lowest E-level from top to bottom. It looks like a pyramid. The arranger lists the strength levels based on the performance of the characters in the video and light screen as a reference, and ranks individuals in different strength levels according to their differences.

Take the lowest level E as an example. There are only two characters in the list of this level, namely the unconfirmed life form No. 1 and the white Kuuga, the first incarnation of "Yoshiki Zaimokuza".

That's right, because of the special nature of the character Kuuga and the diversity of his forms, the arranger ranked each form at different levels based on their battle performance. This has also led to fans of Kuuga's various forms still arguing about this matter, and now, in addition to opening the boxes, they are almost starting offline groups.

But no matter how the others argued, there was only one thing that everyone recognized, and that was that White Kuuga's combat power ranked last among all his forms. Among the characters that had appeared so far, he was only slightly stronger than Number One. He was so weak that even though he had made a comeback and was now singing, he couldn't even beat Number Three, who was originally a D-rank goalkeeper.

All forms of Kuuga who has activated the elemental awakening mode are basically at B level, and the almighty form awakening mode is ranked at A level, and ranks first. The second is the No. 25 mushroom-shaped Gurongi, which has the ability to grow to a gigantic size and is terrifyingly poisonous.

"Kousaka Kyosuke", who was only included in the list after obtaining the GO armor in the second chapter, is ranked third in the A level. This ranking also needs to take into account that the person who arranged it is a special effects mecha fan, and there is a suspicion that he secretly added points based on personal preference.

As for the Gurongi of the "GO" Group, all of them are ranked as S-rank in this list, and none of them are below this rank. They are all so strong that "Yoshiki Zaimokuza" has to use the power of the fifth element and "Kousaka Kyosuke" who possesses the latest G1 device to fight against them.

Moreover, the disputes over the combat power rankings in the S-level list are the most intense among all the lists, and it can be said that there is no one else who can surpass it.

One of the most heated debates is which Gurongi is the strongest among the players of the "GO" group?

Baruba and Dorudo were not included in the calculations because they were confirmed to be Guronggi of the "Ra" group, which held a referee-like position in the game. Initially, even Zero was included in the discussion, but later, based on the various indirect information revealed by the various Guronggi on the light screen, many people believed that the unconfirmed life form Zero might belong to a special class that only existed, so it was also excluded from the discussion.

Gadoru is the most talked-about candidate among all the remaining "GO" groups, almost without exception.

Some people think that when it first appeared, it called itself the "King of Destruction" in its self-introduction. It must be quite capable, otherwise it would not have given itself such an arrogant title. Even No. 30, who has the destructive power to easily destroy the entire Jiangdong District without undergoing the second transformation, does not dare to call himself that.

Later, at a gathering of all the Gurongi, when Gadoru was able to intimidate the arrogant and cold-blooded No. 30 into silence and retreat simply by using the aura he displayed during his instant transformation, everyone could confirm that this guy's strength was definitely extraordinary among all the players in the "GO" group, and he was very likely the strongest in the group.

But at that time, people could only be sure that Gadoru was indeed very strong, but they had no accurate idea of ​​how strong he was.

Because it has never really attacked, the only time it came close to attacking was because it disliked the presumptuous behavior of its companions and intimidated them. All we can be sure of is that it is at least stronger than No. 30, but how much stronger it is remains unknown.

And at this moment, everyone witnessed its power with their own eyes.

“Is this what you mean by ‘I am no longer the same person I was before’?”

Gadoru stared into Gooma's ferocious, ferocious eyes without flinching, his tone as calm as a deep, still pool.

"How boring."

【"It's you!"】

Unlike Gadoru's calmness, Gooma's pupils constricted when he first saw it, and then the whites of his eyes became bloodshot due to excitement. It was impossible for him not to recognize him.

In the ancient times, Gadoru was already a renowned and powerful figure within the Gurongi clan. Almost everyone in the clan believed that once the "Kikiru" officially began, Gadoru would be the most likely player to advance to the "Game of White and Darkness," and the most likely to incur the "Ultimate Darkness."

[But things never go as planned. After that nightmarish night, all of this glory became a thing of the past.]

[It is estimated that no Gurongi had ever imagined that one day a single Lindo would break into the clan's territory with his own strength, and become so powerful that it could be called terrifying.]

[With the power of a single person, in just one night, the previous KUUGA transformer sealed off the entire Gurongi, leaving almost no one able to withstand a single blow.]

"Wait! What did Number Three say!?"

"The Gurongi clan... was single-handedly eliminated by the previous Kuuga!???"

For the first time, the audience outside the light screen learned the whole story of how the Gurongi clan was sealed through the memories of the parties involved, and they were all stunned.

Unlike the initial ignorance, now after such a long period of video and light screen playback, everyone has become very clear about how terrifying the Gurongi clan is. Even the Gurongi in the lowest level group are at the level of Captain America, and the high-level Gurongi are all monsters that can fly, hide, destroy cities and fill the sea.

In fact, many people are very curious about how such a terrifying race was sealed. After all, according to many Gurongi, the ancient Lindo clan should not be much different from today's humans. The only unclear thing is their technological capabilities. After all, they are a civilization that can create powerful warriors like Kuuga. So some people speculate that they must have relied on their advanced technology to suppress the Gurongi, so they were able to seal these monsters.

But now the truth has finally been revealed, and it has shocked everyone.

With just one person, the ancient Souga directly sealed away everyone from the mysterious Number Zero to the Number One, who could not even be defeated by the newly-belted "Zaimokuza Yoshiki", and accomplished this almost mythical feat without losing a single soldier.

Chiba Prefecture, Sobu High School, Service Club.

"Are you kidding me?! The previous Kuuga actually sealed all the Gurongi by himself???"

Tobe Sho's expression now vividly illustrates the word "dumbfounded". His eyeballs almost jumped out of their sockets, and the curve of his chin drooping made people wonder if it would dislocate with a snap.

"Even Zaimokuza, who's in the light curtain right now, can't do something like this! Is this really a power a human can possess!?"

"……Do not."

A low voice sounded from behind him, someone contradicted him.

Everyone turned around and saw Zaimokuza, who was sitting at the last chair, raised his head, his eyes filled with deep fatigue as he met everyone's gaze.

Ever since the news that Gurongi was actually a human was revealed by the future "Yukinoshita Yukino", Zaimokuza almost vomited stomach acid while holding the trash can, and he was almost exhausted from vomiting.

Seeing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka had no choice but to ask Hikigaya and Hayama to drag Zaimokuza to the back seat, wanting him to recover from the intense mental stimulation first.

But after Zaimokuza recovered, he sat in the chair with his head down and remained silent. This made Hikigaya and Ebina realize that this incident might have a huge impact on him. Therefore, they stayed by Zaimokuza's side to watch over him, worried that he would be unable to get over it.

And now he finally spoke, his voice was as tired as his eyes, but it was undoubtedly a relief, confirming that Zaimokuza had not changed.

"Although it's extremely difficult for me in my current form, it's not impossible...as long as my future self wants to."

"Zaimokuza, what do you mean..."

"Ah."

Hikigaya looked at Zaimokuza hesitantly, and Zaimokuza confirmed his guess with a slight nod.

"Actually, my future self can do that now, as long as I use that... black form."

Zaimokuza turned his head to look at the window of the Service Club and saw his own tired expression.

But Zaimokuza saw it clearly. The moment he turned his gaze, a pair of pitch-black eyes disappeared from the reflection in the mirror in a flash and turned into his own appearance.

A hint of fear welled up from the depths of his tired eyes, and Zaimokuza hurriedly lowered his head to look at his feet.

Ever since I saw the black Kuuga on the light screen, it seemed like something had changed completely, as if there was a monster hiding beside me in the darkness, staring at me, but I didn't realize the monster's existence until this moment.

This feeling is like opening a Pandora's box that must never be opened. It's really creepy.

In the past, Gooma could only admire Gadoru from afar. The two were vastly different in status and strength. Even though they were members of the same tribe, they had never interacted with each other.

But things are different now.

Feeling the powerful force coursing through his body, and the energy slowly becoming stronger, Gooma, already completely overwhelmed by his own increased power, felt an unprecedented surge of excitement within him.

[So what if it's "GO"? I've already stopped caring about it!]

[So, it, which would have immediately run away in such a situation, decided not to do so this time. It stared at Gadoru fiercely and said in a venomous voice:]

"Come if you want to fight me! Don't think I'm afraid of you. I'll show you how powerful I am now!"

Transparent ripples spread from its waist to its entire body, and its pitch-black skin covered Gooma's skin. It transformed into a Gurongi form and began wrestling with Gadoru, who was holding its wrist.

[Baruba, who had been standing nearby, had disappeared. The moment she saw Gadoru arrive, she had already made her final decision about Gooma's fate.]

Gooma will never be able to defeat Gadoru. It has no idea how powerful Gadoru is, whether in the past or now.

Gadoru loosens his grip on Gooma's wrist, and Gooma immediately leaps back, then lunges towards Gadoru again as his feet touch the ground.

Gooma crossed his arms in front of his chest, his wrist muscles twitching as two blood-stained blades suddenly pierced through his skin, their pitch-black blades gleaming with a cold light.

[This is one of Gooma's new abilities after using the mysterious fragment. It can change its body to a certain extent. These two arm blades are also its killer weapons. The power of their slashing is enough to cut through steel like butter!]

Gooma aimed at the moment when Gadoru let go and attacked, determined to take advantage of this moment of carelessness to kill him!

【"go to hell!"】

The charging Gooma roared and crossed his arms. Two black blades sliced ​​through the air, emitting sharp whistles. The rapidly surging whistling wind blew away all the dust around him. This was the sonic boom produced when the speed broke the sound barrier!

[The arm blade rushed in front of Gadoru in the blink of an eye, and slashed towards its neck!]

[clang——]

[A crisp sound echoed in the factory, and the whistling sound suddenly stopped.]

The two broken blades spun and flew towards the factory roof. The force of the rotation caused them to penetrate deeply into the steel beams, and the tails continued to tremble.

Gadoru stared motionlessly at the Gooma, whose arms were folded before him. The blades extending from its wrists had long since been severed at the base, leaving only a pitifully short fragment of the blades once capable of slicing through gold and jade. The Gooma's fang-filled mouth gaped open, seemingly too stunned to react.

[And Gadoru's eyes, at some point, had changed from their previous golden color to a pure deep purple.]

【Go-Gadoru-Ba·Rigid Body.】
