Kamen Rider Date A Live

—————Back to the ground dividing line—————

"Looks like I'm the last one to arrive."

"Whoa! Saber's Master! How are you still alive after being injured like this?!"

As the fluctuations in the sky grew increasingly large, everyone began to gather together. When Kiritsugu finally arrived at the meeting point, amidst the stares of the crowd as if he were a ghost, and accompanied by Rider's rude words, he was exhausted, both mentally and physically... no, his body was fine, but his mental exhaustion caused him to plop down on the ground to rest.

In fact, it was inevitable that Rider would be so rude—after all, anyone who saw someone covered in blood, some of which was starting to clump together, yet only slightly unsteady on their feet but still full of energy, couldn't really blame Rider.

After all, what everyone else was thinking was almost exactly the same as what Rider said. It's just that everyone else kept those words well hidden in their hearts.

"Is this how you greet someone who has just returned victorious? The Conqueror?"

Perhaps because he had already avenged himself and had somewhat let go of his obsession, Kiritsugu even had the mood to criticize the King of Conquerors—incidentally, at this moment, Saber began to doubt her own ears.

Even Rider, who wasn't familiar with Kiritsugu but knew a little about him, was taken aback for a moment. But soon, Rider grinned and laughed in response.

"Haha! Yes! This was indeed my oversight! But speaking of which... all that blood outside, it must all be yours, right? How come you don't seem to be injured at all?"

Kiritsugu, curious, raised a question, and upon hearing Rider's question, his lips twitched—because he couldn't very well say that he saw a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and then woke up to find his body, which was on the verge of death, inexplicably healed.

However, before Kiritsugu could even struggle with how to explain, a scream that could be described as a sonic weapon suddenly rang out!

"Wa ...

The scream even made the earth tremble. Kiritsugu and the others, who were caught off guard by the scream, mostly became dizzy and saw stars. Note that most of them were Heroic Spirits. Poor Kiritsugu, who had not been awake for long, was knocked unconscious again!

————Back to the dividing line in the sky————

While both the sky and the ground were seeing stars from agitω's unconsciously amplified scream, agitω, as the instigator, was having a terrible time.

Agitω's current situation is exactly as Shido White guessed: she's frightened. You might say, "Doesn't Agitω have memories of the future and know what's going to happen? Why would she be frightened?"

Well... to put it another way, it's like you're preparing to watch a horror movie. You've seen the trailer and clips, but when you actually watch it, you'll still be scared—agitω is in that situation right now.

Although I've seen this scene before in my memory, actually experiencing it... no wonder I'd be terrified!

The bodies of eleven girls, only their upper bodies are visible, appearing on agitω's (transformed state) chest, back, shoulders, arms, thighs, and legs... It's full of supernatural phenomena!

—Of course, this only refers to the situation in the mental world. After all, this form, the Primal Agitω of the Primal Form, is completely different from previous transformations. It's not that Shido controls his own body alone, but rather all the fused girls arrive in Shido's mental world and manipulate Primal Agitω together. —However, this form has a fatal flaw, or perhaps you could say an advantage.

That means that the twelve people must think and act in roughly the same way, otherwise their bodies will be unable to move or their actions will be chaotic—it can be said to be more troublesome than W, the knight who is two people combined into one.

However, this wasn't the first time the girls had undergone this kind of fusion, and although it was their first time, they had witnessed it before, so it wasn't entirely unfamiliar—the scream just now was merely a minor accident. After the scream, the original agitω, feeling the immense spiritual power within her almost bursting forth, power capable of turning the world upside down, directed her spiritual energy towards the golden pattern on her left shoulder. She poured all the excess spiritual power into the angel pattern on her left shoulder, and together with the original holder of this angel, activated it.

"Enveloping this world! — <Eden, the Paradise of Calamity>!!!" ×2

The overlapping tones of Shido and Rinya's voices, along with the angel pattern on their left shoulders changing from gold to pink, released an enormous barrier that enveloped the entire world, resounding throughout the world!

The Battle of the Divide, Chapter 257: A Fate-Determining Clash (Part 2)

The Battle of the Divide, Chapter 257: A Fate-Determining Clash (Part 2)

P.S.: Notice: From now until mid-September, updates will be changed to once every two weeks. However, I'm not very productive, as it's incredibly hot in the summer, and I also have to work. Plus, I'm currently working on another book, so I don't have much time for this one.

Most of the readers of my book are Kamen Rider fans, so they must have read the Kamen Rider fanfiction "Sky Knight"—yes, the one with three completed volumes, two of which are on hiatus, and one that's being updated in a fantastic way.

In fact, Sky and I are still friends online. We would discuss the contents of our respective books together every night when we had free time. That was at the end of last year when Sky suddenly told me that he wanted to start a new book. At the time, I just joked and said, "Sky, if you want to write, then good luck." Sky could tell that I wasn't serious and just smiled.

However, in the following months, Sky frequently approached me to discuss ideas for a new book, and I was also inspired to participate actively. As a result, after a few months of tinkering, all the necessary elements for a new book were ready.

Speaking of which, the discussions back then were quite lively. Even though it was just the two of us, we could easily kill two or three hours just by talking about a few settings. Later, after I encouraged him to get fully involved, Sky started writing a new book. As a result, since this book was a collaborative project between the two of us, there were some parts that neither of us was quite satisfied with. So, it turned into Sky writing while I revised and improved, and we did the other way around a few times. This resulted in the book becoming a collaborative work between Sky and me. Because of this, it was incredibly easy for the word count to exceed three or four thousand. Sometimes, it wasn't uncommon for me to double the word count that Sky had originally written.

This situation has lasted for about two or three months. Recently, I've become increasingly engrossed in it, but it seems like I've put the cart before the horse. I've finished writing that one, but I don't have time to write this one... Oh well, Sky's writing is definitely better than mine, so everyone can look forward to it. Moreover, with my guidance, this book has become a completely different style from Sky's previous works... As for what style it is, please use your imagination. Of course, it's not a typical overpowered protagonist story.

Sky has decided to upload it in September, and there are currently nearly fifty chapters in the draft. Although Sky agreed to let me write about it here, it also said that I can't reveal too much, so I won't go into detail about this book. I can only say that the protagonist's power is something that Sky has written in previous books, and like the Kamen Rider book, it's a time-travel story, and many female characters have been confirmed... Yes, many. Finally, I'll reveal that the first world is Naruto. Of course, I advise readers who like Naruto not to get too angry after reading this... Because I don't like Naruto, I didn't revise this Naruto volume, I only gave suggestions during the battles.

Lastly, this book will incorporate a lot of references and will primarily focus on slice-of-life scenes and battles. Let's say it's about half and half.

Sorry for all the rambling, here's the main content!

------------

"So this is the armor from that timeline, created by combining the science and magic of three worlds? It's really impressive. If I'm not mistaken, the outer shell and materials are mainly a combination of Evangelion's world and our own, with Nanoha's world as a secondary element. The internal magic circle is from the Wizard, and there's also Nanoha's world... Oh, and the Free Domain too. Hmm! Hey, really? That weapon isn't..."

As Agitω watched as Juya used a hurricane attack to lure away the armored imposter Juya, who had also transformed into an armored form, Agitω unconsciously began to analyze the armor's attack method—but before he could finish, an impatient voice echoed in Agitω's mind.

[Hey! You stupid idiot who can't tell the difference between right and wrong! Is this the time for calm analysis?! In this final battle, you should be showing some fighting spirit and taking down the enemy's counterattack in one fell swoop! You spineless moron!!]

In the spiritual world, Kotori (with black hairband), clearly sensing Agitω's current thoughts, couldn't help but remind (or rather, verbally agitate) Agitω in her own way. However, after hearing Kotori's words, Agitω momentarily felt that Kotori wasn't wrong, but then, thinking of herself...

"Um... While it is indeed very classic, Kotori, do you think it suits us?"

A guy whose specialty is charming girls with his smooth talk suddenly switches to a hot-blooded shonen manga style... What a jarring contrast!

[…Anyway! Call me out now! Fighting an enemy of this level for so long is outrageous! Are you an amoeba?!]

"Hey hey~ Got it, Kotori."

With a helpless smile, he spoke, and the angel pattern on Primal Agitω's right arm armor released a crimson light, flames began to rise around it, and at the same time, except for the part of the armor that had previously activated and released its light, the entire armor turned crimson. Kotori, semi-transparent and dressed in her spirit dress, also appeared to Primal Agitω's right side.

[It's time for a big battle! Let's go—Camael the Scorching Demon!!]

As Kotori called out, a massive crimson battle axe emerged from it, accompanied by a leaping ball of flames, and was seized by Kotori.

Without further ado, at the very moment Kotori appeared, on the opposite side, the black mud blob transformed into a Kotori replica, wielding its jet-black battle axe, attacked Kotori!

[Hmph! Now you're only just learning to strike first? Interesting! Let's see what you're really made of, you imposter!]

Kotori sneered and swung her axe at the oncoming imposter, easily cleaving it in two—after all, the strength of this clone lay in its rapid imitation and immortality, making it not particularly difficult to deal with at first.

"I'll lure this guy away, then you can summon the others—oh, and give me that later, don't forget. Otherwise, I'll fire a cannon at your butt."

"What are you going to do to your cute older brother, Kotori! But I know, it's that, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Kotori's words, the original agitω, who instinctively felt a chill run down his spine, activated his signature skill—roasting.

[It's good that you haven't forgotten—and don't forget, although you are indeed my silly older brother, you're not... By the way, be careful, I don't want to see you dead after we're done fighting.]

Leaving behind a single sentence, Kotori manipulated the flames to lure away her imposter, causing the original agitω to smile wryly and sigh.

"Oh dear, my little sister..."

【Shido-san! Please, please don't mind! Kotori-san didn't mean to say that, it's just...】

"Hehe, don't worry, Yoshino, I know... Kotori was a bit sarcastic just now, but she was basically concerned about me—but Yoshino, Yoshino. Could you lend me your power this time?"

"Yes! Please lend me your power, Mr. Shido! I also want to use my power, just like you, to protect the people most important to me!"

Hearing Yoshino's words, Genji agitω revealed a genuine smile—not that Shido's lolicon nature (Shido: Hey!) had awakened, but simply because Yoshino's words had made Genji agitω genuinely happy... Tell me, what could be more joyful than finding someone who understands and accepts you, and becomes your partner?

In the vast sea of ​​people, such a situation is truly rare. That's why Genji agitω is genuinely happy—of course, Genji agitω also understands that this feeling isn't unique to Yoshino; perhaps everyone else feels the same way. But speculation can never compare to the emotion of actually hearing it.

However, before the smile could fade, another familiar voice suddenly spoke, instantly changing the atmosphere of the scene.

【Oh my gosh! I never expected my Yoshino to say something like that at a time like this… Hmm, it really feels like watching my daughter finally grow up… Yoshino, I’m so proud of you! Just like that, she took Shido-kun… Ugh!!】

[Ugh, sob sob! Anyway! Mr. Shido! I'm going to make my appearance too!!]

In the spiritual world, under the smiling eyes of the other girls who hadn't yet left, and hearing Yoshino's words from before, Yoshino's face turned bright red. Although her voice was still as pleasant as ever, at this moment, she suddenly displayed an aura that was impossible to resist... To put it bluntly, an extremely strong bottom suddenly turned into a top-tier top.

On the other hand, the original agitω, startled by Yoshino's sudden 360-degree change in temperament, subconsciously began to call out as Yoshino had instructed.

The angel pattern on her left arm emitted azure light, and then her armor, except for the pattern that had already been activated, turned azure blue again. Then, Yoshino and Yoshina, their faces flushed and wearing spirit dresses, appeared to the left of the original agitω.

At the same time, the black mud opposite also began to change, becoming a copy, and then rushed directly towards Yoshino.

[Shido-san, please forget what Yoshina said earlier!]

See you later, Shido-kun! We'll take care of that annoying imposter who copied us in one fell swoop!

With her face flushed red, Yoshino left a message and rushed straight to her clone, summoning an angel at the same time.

【Zadkiel, the Frozen Golem!!】

As Yoshino called out, a giant ice-blue puppet rabbit appeared beneath her, bringing with it a chilling aura and splashing water as it charged toward the clone!

[Next up is me! Shido! I'm going to sortie!! Hmm! I was just spacing out for a little while, and then everyone went out!]

No sooner had Yoshino left than a hurried call rang out again. Without even looking, Agitω knew who was speaking.

"Ah, I understand, Tohka!"

With a smile, Primal agitω began a new movement. Before the azure light on its body could even warm up, a new purple light began to spread from the chest armor, covering Primal agitω's armor... However, so far, the purple light only covered the head, right shoulder, left shoulder, and left thigh.

Needless to say, Tohka, dressed in spirit armor and with a semi-transparent body, appeared next to the original agitω. At the same time, one of the black sludge lumps, which had transformed into Tohka's form, attacked while brandishing its fist!

[Ugh! I wanted to say something! Damn it! Don't bother me! You annoying imposter!]

【Slay the Duke (sandalphon)!】

With Tohka's call, a large metal sword appeared in Tohka's hand. She swung the sword, infusing it with spiritual energy, and then... swung it out in one breath!

call out!

The purple, crescent-shaped sword energy cleaved the imposter Tohka in two!

But in the next moment, the imposter Tohka, who had been split in two, instantly glued back together. At the same time, her arm twitched, and then a greatsword, exactly like the one used by the imposter Tohka, but entirely black, appeared in the imposter Tohka's hand!

[Gum... He recovered so quickly! Oh well, Shido, I'll lure him away and take him down. Good luck!]

As she spoke, Tohka transformed into a purple streak of light, leading the imposter that was attacking her away from the original agitω.

[Oh dear, everyone's so energetic! But then again, I can't just not show up... Well, Rinya-san can't appear because she has to maintain the barrier. And Miku-san, as the songstress, is going to be the grand finale, and Shido-kun seems to have something to say to Miku-san... I wouldn't want to interrupt, and besides, it's not my thing.]

In the spiritual world, Kurumi silently watched everyone leave one by one, then covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, drawing puzzled and confused glances from Miku. As for Rinmi, although she was also a little confused, Rinmi's personality meant that she would not ask at this moment.

【Hmm... I don't understand what you and Kurumi are talking about, Darling. But Darling, if it's you... I think I'll forgive you no matter what you do, because I was indeed too extreme before! However, it's precisely because you forgive my extreme side that you're the Darling I like and love the most!】

So, although I don't know exactly what you saw in this form, Darling... but Darling, you don't need to blame yourself, because you said you come from a world much earlier than our timeline... Judging from your appearance, you haven't encountered me in your own world yet, have you?

"So, all you have to do, Darling, is protect me one more time? I believe you can do it. Because you're my darling!"

Miku isn't stupid. Although she is indeed childlike in personality and her intelligence is rated as a malicious 70 in some worlds, as someone who was deeply hurt by humans in her childhood, Miku's judgment of people is quite good.

Although Miku previously viewed all men as vermin and women as playthings due to her personal reasons, she possesses a power—the power to make people say they are not lying, the power of language to distort wills and influence actions. Miku has witnessed the darkness within all sorts of people, and therefore can easily discern the degree of truth or falsehood in a person's words.

Previously, when the original agitω was explaining its origins, apart from the rather oblivious Tohka, the other girls all keenly noticed that the original agitω deliberately did not explain the process by which it gained its power...

Moreover, Miku also noticed the deep apology that had been expressed briefly when she first arrived... However, Miku also noticed that this apology was a bit strange.

Although the apology was very profound, Miku could sense that it wasn't the kind of apology that comes from actual experience, but rather the kind of apology that comes from seeing and feeling—although both are apologies, they are indeed different.

Miku, realizing this, said those words earlier.

"Hehe... As expected, everyone here is quite formidable—but Miku, even if I forget my current memories afterward, I believe that when we meet again in the future, I will definitely remember them! This is our... new promise!"

Upon hearing Agitω's words, Miku, who had originally wanted to ask Agitω about forgetting her memories, gave a helpless smile, sighed as if giving up, and then looked up at Agitω.
