I, Shura Armor, choose Belia at the beginning

"So do you have any useful leads regarding the Time Jackers?"

After the two had fully confirmed their relationship as ruler and subject, Gates couldn't wait to ask.

However, the look he gave Woz was unfriendly; it was a look of genuine disgust.

Unfortunately, both Geiz and Tsukuyomi come from an organization that resisted Oma Zi-O in the future.

Woz had previously infiltrated the Resistance.

His undercover work led to the leak of intelligence, causing the resistance organization to suffer its most devastating losses in history, almost resulting in its complete annihilation.

It would be strange if Gates and Tsukuyomi gave Woz a friendly look.

After all, the other party was the murderer who killed his comrade.

"To be honest, I don't have any good ideas either, because the future described in this book is completely chaotic."

"We are all about to enter a chaotic era with no predetermined outcome."

"At this time, it is best to do less and make fewer mistakes, and wait for the opponent to show a weakness."

"As far as I know, the Time Jackers don't seem to be creating any more Another Riders, and I don't know what they're planning to do."

"Their style of doing things has changed drastically, and there must have been some internal upheaval."

Wozniak's response was also to wait and see.

He wasn't acting; he genuinely didn't know what the future held.

"Is that so? Then let's see how things go and see what these guys are up to."

Tokiwa Sougo didn't say much; instead, he calmed down.

When anger and hatred are completely etched in the heart.

Tokiwa Sougo's motivation and goals will be completely changed.

At this point, he was already experiencing a drastic change in temperament.

Just as the main characters finished assembling.

Tsukasa Kadoya is also working on his next plan.

As mentioned before, he wanted to help Tokiwa Sougo grow.

To help the other side grow, you have to send some experience packs over to get killed.

Another Rider definitely needs to be created, otherwise Tokiwa Sougo's power cannot be improved.

However, there are many ways to create Another Riders.

Tsukasa Kadoya chose to confront the type of faction.

Simply put, he wants to use the legacy left by Swartz to create Another Zi-O.

Then let Another Zi-O and Tokiwa Sougo fight each other.

The two sides were roughly equal in strength at the beginning, and could engage in a battle of equals.

Another Zi-O is the whetstone that Tsukasa Kadoya prepared for Sougo Tokiwa.

Swartz's legacy is an Outlander Zi-O watch face.

There aren't many people who can use this watch face to transform into the Otherworldly Zi-O.

Kakogawa Hiryu is one of the most suitable candidates.

This is also a tragic figure, a pawn in a scheme.

When Tokiwa Sougo was a child, Swartz deliberately caused a traffic accident.

Its purpose is to guide Tokiwa Sougo onto the path to becoming king.

In that traffic accident, both of Tokiwa Sougo's parents tragically died.

Tokiwa Sougo, who survived, received the power of time from Swartz.

This is the reason why he will be able to transform into Zi-O in the future.

Swartz was guiding Tokiwa Sougo on the path to becoming king from beginning to end.

However, he wasn't doing this out of kindness; he planned to fatten the pig before slaughtering it.

In the traffic accident caused by Swartz, there was also a survivor who lost both parents.

The survivor was Kakogawa Hiryu.

He shouldn't have survived; he was saved by Tokiwa Sougo when he was a child.

However, it's unclear whether this was intentional on Swartz's part.

Or perhaps it was a misunderstanding caused by different perspectives.

Kakogawa Hiryu has always stubbornly believed that...

The culprit behind the tour bus explosion was Tokiwa Sougo.

From age 8 to 18, over those 10 years.

Kakogawa Hiryu's hatred never diminished; in fact, it grew stronger with the passage of time.

Incidentally, Tokiwa Sougo and Kakogawa Hiryu are the same age. They are both now 18 years old and have just come of age.

However, given the context at the time, neither of them were actually adults.

Because 22 years ago in Japan, the age of adulthood was 20, but 22 years later it was changed to 18.

Same accident, same age.

The only two survivors.

One became Zi-O, and the other became Another Zi-O.

Well... if it's too much of a coincidence, then it's not a coincidence.

This was most likely the result of Swartz's covert manipulation.

This was all part of a script that Swartz had written in advance, but now it has benefited Tsukasa Kadoya.

Tsukasa Kadoya had even reached Hiryu Kakogawa.

……

At this moment, outside an overcrowded aid camp.

Kakogawa Hiryu watched the busy people with a calm gaze.

Because the city has suffered irreversible damage and transportation has been completely paralyzed, people can only temporarily live in relief camps and wait for further rescue.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Kakogawa Hiryu's calm demeanor appeared remarkably aloof.

"It seems you've become accustomed to this kind of thing."

Just then, Tsukasa Kadoya's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Upon hearing this, Kakogawa Hiryu subconsciously turned his head to look.

Then he saw Tsukasa Kadoya, dressed in a black and red suit, fiddling with a camera.

"Who are you? A reporter? If you want to interview someone, find someone else. I'm not interested."

Kakogawa Hiryu glanced at Kadoya Tsukasa and said with little interest.

Clearly, he must have misunderstood something.

There's no way around it, Tsukasa Kadoya's appearance really does resemble that of a newspaper reporter.

"It's not something so trivial; I've been looking for you."

"I just want to ask one question: do you still want revenge? I can give you the power you desire."

Without wasting words, Tsukasa Kadoya got straight to the point.

Kakogawa Hiryu, who had initially shown no interest, trembled upon hearing these words.

Then he looked at Tsukasa Kadoya with some disbelief.

"Who are you? How do you know about me? I've never told anyone outside of this."

It's no wonder that Kakogawa Hiryu was shocked, mainly because this was a secret he had kept hidden in his heart.

He never told anyone about this.

The content of this story sounds too bizarre and could easily cause misunderstandings among outsiders, or even be seen as a sign of adolescent delusions.

So Kakogawa Hiryu didn't tell anyone and kept it buried in his heart.

But Tsukasa Kadoya immediately revealed his innermost thoughts, which naturally shocked him.

The information that had never been made public before was suddenly revealed to outsiders, and the amount of information contained within it was enormous.

"I was told this by someone else; these are all minor matters."

"In short, do you want revenge? You just need to answer yes or no."

Tsukasa Kadoya didn't offer much explanation, simply asking the question calmly as before.

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's second question, Hiryu Kakogawa's face clearly showed a struggle.

Because he was unsure whether Tsukasa Kadoya was a good person or a bad person to him.

Is the other person trying to scam me?

If Tsukasa Kadoya doesn't explain, then Hiryu Kakogawa will have to guess these things on his own.

This is the cost of making choices.

This is actually Tsukasa Kadoya testing his opponent's desire for revenge.

If the other party is determined to seek revenge, they will definitely agree without hesitation.

They wouldn't consider anything else, or even refuse it.

In the face of hatred, everything else is insignificant.

For those who truly harbor hatred, no price is too high to pay.
