Chapter 364: The Last Card
Consciousness is silent, sitting on the ground with his head bowed, and his body is bound by iron ropes.
Tianjin Four, who takes care of the alien Zero North.
And, Sakurai Yoto, who looked tired but insisted on standing.
This is the scene that Shogo Tsukiwa saw when he first walked out of the teleportation magic array.
"Demon King?"
Seeing Shogo Tokiwa, Sakurai Yoto was silent for a moment and spoke.
"It's me...... Should I say first meeting? Zero North seniors. ”
Shogo Tsukiwa looked at Sakurai Yoto and replied.
He wanted to be a little more relaxed, but when he thought of what he was going to do later, his expression involuntarily became serious.
Sakurai Yuto felt the atmosphere that was gradually becoming tense and heavy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As a senior, he was ashamed enough to make such a choice, so at least, now......
[…… Let me start with this. ]
Thinking like this, Sakurai Yuto went straight to the point:
"Things, I've heard Woz say...... Sorry, I still can't, I don't do anything, I'm going to eliminate her, so I'm going to use that last card here, for her. ”
The "she" here refers to the transformer of the alien Zeronos, Hana.
That's right, Shogo Tokiwa is here to eliminate the alien Zeronos.
And eliminating the alien Zeronos means killing Hana.
This is because the cost of devouring the host [time] of the Xenomorph Zeronos watch itself, coupled with the special state of the Xenogeneous Zeronors watch that was stored in Hana's body from the beginning, caused Hana's life to be completely bound to the Xenogeneous Zeronors watch when the Xenomorph Zeronors first experienced the process from "death" to "resurrection......
Regarding this, even Shogo Tokiwa can't change it.
Just like he once did with the Alien Wizard...... It doesn't matter who the shapeshifter of the alien knight is and what his character is, but if Shogo Tsukiwa wants to continue to define history by his scale, then he must eliminate the alien knights who are not recognized by the main timeline and revise history.
This is the great righteousness, and it is also where his royal way lies.
And now the situation is......
Sakurai Yuto admits the correctness that the alien Zeronos must be eliminated as an alien knight, but he still chooses ...... Stand up and become the alien Zero North, no, the last line of defense to become Hana, Haina Sakurai.
Thinking of this, Chang Pan Zhuangwu lowered his eyes and said softly: "Give up, senior, you can't stop me." ”
Sakurai Yuto smiled, "I know, but it is precisely because of this that I can make this choice so easily...... I'm sorry, King Shi, I, as a senior, have done such a shameful thing. ”
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shogo was silent for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath, spit it out, and said with a smile:
"What are you talking about? Predecessor.
"If a father's desire to protect his daughter can be regarded as a shame, then the world has long ceased to praise family affection.
"Not to mention ......"
As Sakurai Yuto just said, he made this choice so easily knowing that his actions would not have any bad effects on the operation of time.
There is no need to think about "ifs" and "assumptions", which are neither meaningful nor necessary.
Because, the status quo is like this, and Sakurai Yoto's calm state of mind at this time is enough to explain everything.
That's it, Sakurai Yoto felt a little sorry for Shogo Tokiwa.
Because Sakurai Yuto believes that by doing so, he is actually transferring the "responsibility" to Shogo Tokiwa, who is a junior of Kamen Rider.
Otherwise, Sakurai Yuto would not use "shame" to describe his choice at this time.
It's just that Shogo Tokiwa didn't let Sakurai Yoto get his wish...... He praised Sakurai's choice.
In Shogo Tokiwa's opinion, Sakurai Yuto has paid enough to protect the operation of time.
And he's just helping his seniors take on a "responsibility", so that seniors can complete the final battle without any burden, whether it's as a junior of Kamen Rider or the king of time in the future, this is what he should do.
Tokiwa Shogo's feelings were successfully passed on to Sakurai Yoto, which made Sakurai Yoto couldn't help but laugh after being stunned for a while.
"Haha—yes, I see."
Smiling briskly, Sakurai Yuto took out the Zero North Belt and put it on his waist.
He then took out the last black-and-red card that represented his presence and inserted it into the buckle of Zeronorth's belt.
This time, there was not the slightest heaviness in his movements, but it seemed very relaxed.
[ZeroForm!] 】
Rusty red Zero Nos armored, Sakurai Yoto looked at Shogo Tokiwa and said:
"Let's transform...... Ahead of you, you're ...... Nothing was done wrong! ”
"Well, don't worry about me, senior......"
Shogo Tokiwa smiled and took out the Zi-O Knight Watch and the Zero North Knight Watch, turned the dial, started, and plugged in the space-time drive.
“…… I'm the Demon King. ”
With the sound of Shogo Tokiwa's last sentence, the main body of the rotating space-time drive transformed.
[RiderTime!] 】
【KamenRiderZi-O! 】
[ArmorTime!] 】
AltairForm! Zeronos! 】
Armored body, Shogo Tokiwa declared: "Speaking ahead, I will not show mercy!" ”
"Just what I want!"
Sakurai Yudou responded loudly, and looked at Tianjin Si during the period.
Needless to say, Tianjin Si also made a choice from the beginning.
He instantly turned into a weapon, and the Tianjin Four Destruction Spear fell into the hands of Sakurai Yoto, who had already transformed into Zero North.
Immediately, Shogo Tokiwa and Yoto Sakurai rushed towards each other at the same time.
"Dang!"
The Zero Splitter Saber in Shogo Tokiwa's hand and the Tianjin Four Destruction Spear in Sakurai Yoto's hand exchanged blows.
Then, Sakurai Yuto did not hesitate to shoot at close range, so that Shogo Tokiwa had to dodge and retreat.
And in the process of retreating, the form of the Zero Splitter in Tokiwa Shogo was reorganized and turned into a crossbow gun, which was also unceremoniously aimed at Zero North......
……
……
In the middle of the night, the fighting stopped, and everything settled.
Tianjin Si drove the Zero-Liner through the wormhole alone.
Shogo Tokiwa stood in place for a moment of silence while holding the Zero North Knight Watch, which had begun to glow, before being suddenly engulfed by a time magic array.
Then, here the space-time begins to transform.
Whether it was this place, or the ruined area of Ted's castle from before, the wounds on the ground began to fade rapidly.
At the other end of this broken timeline, Shogo Tokiwa's body began the continuation of the timeline of this world......
As the material for "continuation", it is the spiritual world of "Tokiwa Shogo", which is the inner world that is constantly constructed and perfected with [time] in a hundred reincarnations.
Of course, this alone will certainly not restore this already precarious timeline directly to a healthy state.
But, at least, it was able to get out of the danger of collapse at any moment.
