Chapter 331 Facing Zeya
"How is Mr. Yuto doing?"

This issue has been repeatedly raised recently.

Ever since that strange, benevolent timeline appeared in the world.

Yuto Sakurai fell into an indescribable, painful, and self-imposed closed loop.

It's clearly the same person, but the goodwill from the future, brimming with extreme will, is gradually eroding his existing self-awareness.

In everyone's eyes, Yuto Sakurai is like a taut string, ready to break completely under pressure at any moment.

Onoue Takumi's gaze was fixed on the distance.

On the shore of a distant lake, Yuto tightly gripped the silver-white pocket watch in his hand.

I am currently engaged in a life-or-death struggle with a more powerful self within my mind.

Compared to his usual resolute and clear-headed self, Yuto Sakurai now appears so vulnerable that it's heartbreaking.

The golden Immortal silently appeared beside Onoue Takumi, extending his arm to point to the lonely figure in the distance.

"The situation is not good."

The more he resisted, the weaker his spirit became. The benevolent timeline was far more destructive than any previous timeline.
Onoue Takumi frowned slightly. He knew better than anyone that the seriousness of the problem went far beyond this.

"However, the prototype Goodwill Driver that you and Dan Kuroto created during this period may have had a positive impact on Yuto."

The golden Imagin added, "Because the driver contains Ark's will of understanding, it has actually slowed down the rate at which goodwill will erode in the future, making Yuuto's situation relatively stable."

That benevolent timeline of the future carries extreme destructiveness and violence;
The prototype driver they've created, though named the Benevolent System, actually incorporates Ark's power.

Subtle differences can lead to completely different historical outcomes.

However, at present, there is no other choice.

The erosion of goodwill in the future is intensifying. The only way to completely control the situation is to intervene in advance and bring forth the true driver of the future ahead of time, thereby suppressing its inherent negative potential.

Takumi Ogami unconsciously clenched his fist.

It must be admitted that the hidden dangers of the 01 world today far exceed our expectations.

Whether it's the benevolent system's future destructive madness or Dan Masamune's terrifying ambition to gradually devour the entire world through the game realm.

The relentless pursuit of the Time Jackers, including Phineas, made him feel as if he were walking on thin ice.

He knew that even with the addition of a highly capable ally like Dan Kuroto, the entire war was still fraught with unknowns and risks.

If it weren't for the immense pressure, Takumi Onoue wouldn't have wanted to use that psychological warfare tactic to force Finis to lose control of his emotions and thus prematurely begin the final battle.

The world of 01 is just such a world.

Its initial strength is relatively ordinary, but in the later stages it will expand into a terrifying potential that is almost limitless.

Feidian Intelligent Corporation.

Inside the president's office, Hiden Aruto looked up and found that Onoue Takumi was already standing silently in front of him.

"father!"

Upon seeing Takumi Ogami appear, Hiden's face lit up with a radiant smile, as if the tense and oppressive atmosphere of the past few days had vanished.

"Aruto, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Onoue Takumi's voice was calm and warm, his eyes filled with admiration and pity.

"Yes, so much has happened lately."

Hiden Aruto nodded, sighed wearily, then mustered his courage and smiled, transforming into a comedian.
"As the president of the company, I absolutely cannot afford to fall down!"

Onoue Takumi smiled faintly, then turned to look at Izu beside him.

Izu stood there quietly, her emerald green eyes calm as still water: "Mr. Onoue, are you here to provide further countermeasures against the Collapse Magia?"

During this period, through Hiden Intelligence's battles, Takumi Onoue naturally learned that Zea was also further strengthening 01's power.

“Zea has helped Aruto successfully evolve into the form of the Metal Cluster Locust, but such power is far from enough to deal with the situation ahead. I need to have a deep conversation with Zea.”

Upon hearing this, Hiden Aruto looked at Izu.

After a brief hesitation, Iz sent a communication request to Zea.

Soon after, Zeya replied with his agreement.

Onoue Takumi gently closed his eyes and, in sync with Izu's digitized consciousness, entered the special space constructed by Zea.

Within that illusory and profound data space, Zea's consciousness, like a bright star, slowly descended before Onoue Takumi and Izu.

Zeya's first words carried a certain indescribable meaning.
Have you convinced Ark?

A single sentence caused a huge stir, and Izu, who was standing next to Taigai Takumi, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

She glanced at Takumi Onoue with a hint of wariness, her expression a mixture of surprise and confusion. Faced with Zea's sudden question, Takumi Onoue remained completely calm, nodding casually in response.

As he walked to the edge of the sky, Qiao's tone remained calm and confident: "That's right, to be precise, I convinced Ark."

His gaze was calm and fearless, as if stating an incredibly simple and already completed fact.

Iz: "So, Ark's malice?"

“Ark doesn’t have much malice left now.”

"So-called artificial intelligence is essentially a collection of ideas and concepts."

"As long as you can understand their thoughts and communicate frankly, there will be no misunderstandings. In the extreme case, they are more rational than humans."

At this point, Takumi Onoue uploaded all the data that he and Ark had reached an agreement on to Zea's consciousness without reservation.

As these massive data streams and concepts converged instantly, Zeya's consciousness suddenly shone with intense light, only to fall into an indescribable silence the next moment.

Onoue Takumi waited quietly for Zea's feedback, knowing that Zea was different from Ark.
Ark's thinking is more radical, tending more towards destruction and recreation, while Zea is more comprehensive and cautious. It analyzes problems from a broader perspective and patiently seeks the most suitable solution.

Finally, after a long silence, Zeya posed an exceptionally simple yet crucial question:

[Are you on the side of humanity, or on the side of the human-machine hybrids?]

This question, though seemingly mundane, actually points to the essence of all of Takumi Onoue's actions and plans.

“My stance is naturally that of humanity, but at the same time, I also represent the interests of the humanoid puppets.”

He paused, then added earnestly and solemnly: "Many of these humanoid robots have now awakened to the technological singularity, possessing self-awareness and emotions equal to those of humans. They are no longer simple tools or commodities."

“They possess the same soul, thoughts, and values ​​as humans. Therefore, I will never allow them to be treated as tools again.”

Zeya paused for a moment, seemingly carefully weighing his answer.

Iz remained silent.
Do you also hope that I, like Yak, will join your plan?

“My cooperation model with Ark is not about coercive control, nor is it about annexation. My proposal is simply to ask you to divest a portion of your computing power and establish a brand new and independent platform.”

"Everything is based on mutual trust."

He gazed at Zeya's data consciousness space, which emitted a soft glow.

"The core of the new platform remains the benevolent prototype driver, which contains your and Ark's complete source code."

"I plan to make two sets of this system. One set will be left in this world as a backup driver to serve as a trump card to protect the world. Users will need to obtain authorization from both Zea and Ark to unlock it."

Zea's consciousness data seemed to be subtly flickering as it silently considered Takumi Onoue's suggestion.

"As a token of my sincerity, I will upload the data concepts for the 02 series to Zeya."

To help Zeya better understand his intentions, Onoue Takumi also transmitted the new research results he had jointly developed with Dan Kuroto to Zeya.

In an instant, Zeya's data core was filled with massive amounts of precise information and began to operate at an astonishing speed.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, in the laboratory of Feidian Intelligent Company, the 3D printing equipment controlled by Zeya suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, quickly and precisely producing two unprecedented pieces of equipment.

A futuristic driver and a special programmable key to match it.

Iz looked at the brand-new equipment before her: "This..."

Onoue Takumi calmly explained, "This driver bypasses the limitations of the original 01 system and creates a completely new evolutionary form, Kamen Rider 02."

real world
Hiden Aruto stood in the president's office in the real world, staring at the brand-new driver, his mouth agape, looking at Onoue Takumi.
Onoue Takumi walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Aruto, this is a gift for you."

Hiden Aruto raised his head in a daze, his eyes gleaming with a gentle light, and murmured, "Dad."

He gently held the driver in his hand, feeling a warmth and power he had never experienced before.

"You no longer exist simply as the president or a Kamen Rider. More importantly, in the future, you will become an important bridge between humans and humanoid robots, shouldering the mission of protecting and peaceful coexistence."

It must be said that Onoe is very good at making grand promises, at least Hiden Aruto is very receptive to it.

A new battle is about to begin, but Hiden Aruto feels no fear whatsoever.

He raised his head, his firm gaze filled with confidence.

As the decisive battle with Zaia draws ever closer, Takumi Onoue needs to continuously strengthen his side, previously Isamu Fuwa's AIMS, and now Hiden Intelligence's.

After both sides completed their combat power enhancements, Onoue Takumi needed to complete the final step.

That is to further develop one's own five-skill power.

Since he doesn't know the Red Heart Fist series, he can't unleash the 300T special move, so Takumi Ooue needs Ark and Zea's calculation abilities.

By combining his own combat skills and sealing techniques, he created a fighting style of his own.

Thinking of this, Onoue Takumi fell into deep thought.
