I, Shura Armor, choose Belia at the beginning

The most obvious sign is that the red armor on its battle suit has become somewhat dull.

Originally, these red armors glowed eerily.

That was Tokiwa Sougo's killing intent reaching its limit.

Although these red armors are still an eerie blood red.

But it didn't emit light like before.

This symbolizes that Tokiwa Sougo has controlled the power of his murderous intent.

He was no longer controlled by murderous intent as he had been before.

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Tsukuyomi and Gates immediately retreated, moving away from the battlefield.

The very next moment after the group left.

Tokiwa Sougo directly deflected the sword's edge, drawing all the power of the Shura Purgatory Blade to his side.

He unleashed the Asura Purgatory Blade, slashing fiercely at the earth.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the earth around Tokiwa Sougo was shattered into pieces.

He immediately seized the opportunity to escape, jumping to create distance between himself and Tsukasa Kadoya.

"Who exactly are you? What does this have to do with you? What role do you play in this?"

Upon regaining his senses, Tokiwa Sougo immediately questioned Kadoya Tsukasa.

His question implied that he suspected Tsukasa Kadoya was the mastermind behind it all.

The other party is highly suspicious, both in terms of power and stance.

"Finally awake? You truly deserve to be called the future Demon King. I'm even envious of your potential."

Instead of answering Tokiwa Sougo's question, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the other man with interest and said...

"Answer my question, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Tsukasa Kadoya was ignoring him, Sougo Tokiwa asked again in a serious tone.

"What I want to do...who knows, I'm also looking for the answer."

"But I can tell you that all of this in the city was caused by my fight with another guy."

"I killed him and became the new leader of the Time Jackers. It seems I accidentally affected your relatives. I'm really sorry."

This time, Tsukasa Kadoya did not ignore Sougo Tokiwa's question.

He not only answered, but answered at length.

You could even say they're laying their cards on the table, no longer bothering to pretend.

Tsukasa Kadoya said that in order to motivate Sougo Tokiwa and stimulate his mentality.

At this point, Tokiwa Sougo had developed a certain level of resilience and suppressed his killing intent.

This is both an improvement and a depletion of potential.

Therefore, Tsukasa Kadoya needs to be given some new motivation, preferably a target with a clear objective.

And that target was himself.

This is a typical revenge story, with the big boss mocking the protagonist and the protagonist working hard to level up.

At this moment, Tsukasa Kadoya perfectly embodied the role that Kumo Rei had described.

If you're going to be the villain, be the biggest one, otherwise you won't be able to motivate the protagonist.

If Tokiwa Sougo doesn't get stronger, how can Kadoya Tsukasa improve?

"Oh it's you……"

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's words, Sougo Tokiwa's demeanor instantly changed.

His armor glowed red again, and the temperature in the arena dropped several degrees because of his murderous aura.

With just a few words, Tsukasa Kadoya nearly provoked Sougo Tokiwa, who had returned to normal, to the point of going berserk again.

However, just as Tsukasa Kadoya had predicted.

The current Tokiwa Sougo has matured and is not as easily out of control as before.

Despite his overwhelming murderous intent, Tokiwa Sougo forcibly suppressed the impulse.

After their exchange, he already knew that he was no match for Tsukasa Kadoya.

It's no exaggeration to say that the opponent could defeat me with just two fingers. The gap between us is so vast that it's impossible to see the difference.

This is not something that can be compensated for by simply unleashing murderous intent.

If Tokiwa Sougo insists on taking action, he will most likely demonstrate what true impotent rage looks like on the spot.

The day when Regulus XIV will appear has not yet arrived.

The so-called Xuanyuan XIV is closely related to the Day of Encountering Demons in the drama.

Regulus is the constellation representing kings, and it will experience its brightest day in history in 2019.

That day was the day of the Demon's Appearance, which was often mentioned by the characters in the show.

No matter how much he unleashes his power before that day arrives, Tokiwa Sougo will never be able to obtain the power of Oma Zi-O and become Oma Zi-O.

It's not the right time for me to inherit the family fortune.

However, as long as the Demon King's Day arrives, Tokiwa Sougo can inherit the family fortune on the spot simply by accepting his identity as the Demon King.

Many villains actually have a misconception: they believe that the power of the Oddish can be plundered.

But Tokiwa Sougo is the destined Demon King.

The power of the Demon God originally belonged to him; no one could take it away. Even if someone tried to take it, they would only be overwhelmed and burst.

Swartz is the best example.

He did manage to grab it, but he couldn't withstand the force and almost exploded on the spot.

"That's right, it's me. You don't need to be so angry. To you, the Demon King, the lives of ordinary people are nothing but ants."

"Anyway, you'll end up like me in the future, so what's there to be angry about? We're the same kind of people."

Seeing that Tokiwa Sougo was already losing control, Kadoya Tsukasa added fuel to the fire by speaking again.

"Who would be like you! You're just a heartless executioner!"

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's nonchalant words, Sougo Tokiwa could no longer suppress his anger and pointed at the other man's nose, cursing him.

Tokiwa Sougo maintained his bottom line and did not act impulsively.

Because Tsukasa Kadoya didn't seem to want to fight him.

If Tokiwa Sougo makes a move, the latter might change his mind, leading the situation to a more unfavorable position for him.

Tokiwa Sougo doesn't particularly enjoy reading.

But he still knew the famous saying: "A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years."

Most importantly, what if the two sides start fighting again?

Tokiwa Sougo simply didn't have the extra power to protect Geiz and Tsukuyomi.

He didn't want his uncle's tragedy to happen again, and he would not abandon his comrades or seek revenge.

This is the core reason why Tokiwa Sougo maintained his final rationality.

"Say what you will, but you're too weak right now. Hurry up and get stronger, or I can't say what kind of regrets might happen next time."

"That's all for today. I look forward to the day you become stronger. Remember this pain and hatred. I await your revenge."

Seeing that Tokiwa Sougo had indeed grown, Kadoya Tsukasa decided not to provoke him any further, because it would be pointless to do so.

After leaving behind his final words that were sure to ignite hatred, Tsukasa Kadoya...

He then ran to the ruins on the other side.

He carried Kakogawa Hiryu, who had already deactivated his Another Rider transformation and fainted, on his shoulder.

He left the scene after a few jumps.

"This bastard..."

Watching Tsukasa Kadoya's departing figure, Sougo Tokiwa gritted his teeth in frustration, yet there was nothing he could do.

Then he deactivated his transformation.

The immense power of the Killing Intent Zi-O form does not come without a price.

Its essence is to overdraw Tokiwa Sougo's power for a brief burst.

After Tokiwa Sougo deactivated his transformation, he collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.
