Kamen Rider Date A Live

Of course, the otaku wasn't gay and had no interest in seeing boys naked. He directly used his eyes to see the two golden and dark purple agitω inside Shido's body, engaged in a fierce battle!
Among them, the golden agitω gained the upper hand! It repeatedly defeated the attacking dark purple agitω, but no matter how much damage it suffered, it could not be completely eliminated. Smashing its head didn't work, and shattering its belt didn't work either! This situation left the golden agitω extremely confused, and its movements slowed down a bit!
Upon closer inspection, the otaku realized that the person inside the golden Agitω armor was none other than Shido! And the person inside the dark purple Agitω armor was a mass of irregularly moving black matter… no, this thing couldn't even be called matter; it was merely a combination of 'Fragments of Nothingness' and 'Negative Emotions,' the Chosen One's natural enemy—the 'Inverted Body'!
Seeing this, the otaku understood why the golden color, which was Shido's will, could not take back his body. It wasn't that Shido was too weak, but that the enemy had become similar to Evangeline, and no matter what, he couldn't be killed!
But this is impossible! The existence of the "Reversal Body" is because there is "non-existence" within "existence," and "existence" within "non-existence." Both "existence" and "non-existence" possess the power and existence of the other. Therefore, when "existence" releases its power, a "fragment of non-existence" appears in the heart of each person who receives the power, and the "fragment of non-existence" grows by absorbing things that are beneficial to it.
What is powerful about the "Fragments of Nothingness" is what the chosen one dislikes and discards. Generally speaking, what needs to be discarded is usually negative emotions.
Cowardice, anger, murderous intent, jealousy, hatred, despair, fear, doubt, greed, madness, baseness, cruelty, selfishness, pain...
These are all negative emotions, things that most people despise, but for the "Fragments of Nothingness," they are the best nourishment.
However, if the chosen one is an oddball who loves negative emotions and hates positive ones, then the nourishment that the "Fragment of Nothingness" prefers will be the opposite.
Ahem, I've gone a bit off-topic. To put it bluntly, a person can't always be in a negative emotional state. And even if they were, the "reverse form" created from the "Fragment of Nothingness" couldn't absorb it indefinitely. After all, the essence of the "Fragment of Nothingness" is just one word: "Nothingness"!
Its essence is "nothingness". Even if it is nourished by negative emotions, it still has a limit. Just like a car, once it runs out of gas, no matter how fast it was running before, it is now just a piece of broken metal that can't move!
However, since the "Inverted Body" keeps reviving, it means that a "negative emotion" is constantly giving the "Inverted Body" power, which is the reason why the "Inverted Body" keeps reviving.
But thinking about this, another strange question arises: what kind of negative emotion could stay in Shido's heart for so long and be unable to let go?
The otaku, realizing this, understood that to truly resolve the matter, he had to find out what the underlying negative emotion was. Because if the fight continued like this, Shido would eventually be defeated and completely devoured by the "Inverted Body"! Even if it were a battle of souls, the "Inverted Body" wouldn't have the same effect, but Shido would still feel exhausted, eventually succumbing to illness and dying!
"Tch! What a hassle. Sorry, Shido."
As the otaku recited this, he opened his eyes wider and saw clearly the memories and thoughts of the person named Itsuka Shido throughout his life!
In less than three seconds, the otaku closed his eyes. About ten seconds later, when he opened his eyes again, his gaze held a mixture of helplessness and a sense of "I see."
"I see, that explains why Shido has been unable to defeat the 'Inverted Body'..."
The otaku shifted his perspective, looking at the ominous, dark purple color on the right side of agitω (Shido's) body. He sighed and continued talking to himself.
"That 'inverted form' feeds on your fear of power, Shido, and your fear of becoming a god and losing your emotions, which is why it keeps reviving... Do you understand, Shido?"
So that's how it is... I brought all this on myself... I really have to do what I did...
A voice suddenly appeared in the otaku's mind, and the owner of this voice was none other than Shido!
It turns out that after the otaku watched everything Shido had said, he also used the Millennium Puzzle to bridge the gap and transmit his own words and everything that had happened on his end to Shido. Although this sudden information caused Shido, who was fighting the Inverted Entity, to have his left hand shattered by a single punch, in this soul space, Shido was the master. No matter how serious his injuries, he could recover immediately, provided he was still conscious.
Upon hearing the otaku's explanation, Shido let out a sigh tinged with extremely complex emotions. Immediately after Shido finished speaking, the otaku said...
"Now is not the time for lamenting! There are two ways to resolve your current predicament, Shido. Do you want to hear them? However, the price will be very high."
"Really? There's a solution! Mr. Otaku, what is it!?"
In the otaku's mind, Shido's urgent voice echoed, but the otaku remained unmoved and continued speaking unhurriedly.
"Don't worry! You know, the reason you were able to temporarily regain consciousness and not use your instincts to stop the 'Inverted Body' is because Shiori's belief stimulated the light power of your origin. The light power from Shiori's side returned to you through the 'Millennium Puzzle' and activated... no, awakened your consciousness, you know?"
"Hmm, I roughly guessed it. Since it wasn't you guys, Mr. Otaku, who could have suddenly woken me up, then only Shiori could have done it."
"Hmm. However, it's a question why Shiori suddenly awakened such a belief. Perhaps something troublesome has happened. To handle this carefully, you'd better hurry over there."
"Mr. Otaku, isn't this asking the impossible?! There's absolutely no way I can do that right now..."
The otaku interrupted Shido, continuing with an unusually questioning tone.
“There is a way, but let me ask you, Shido, are you willing to use the worst of my two methods—petrochemical—for Shiori’s sake?”

Right after everything was over at the villa and Mana was put back into her treatment chamber, the otaku hugged the statue of "Inverted Body·agitω" and transformed back into the mode he had come in—Icarus Mode!
"Mode Enter - Queen of the Sky - Icarus!"
Just like before, the otaku who grew wings on his back flew towards the sky, but instead of flying towards the magic circle leading to the outside world, he flew to some other, more distant place.
At this point, Shido's matter can be said to be temporarily resolved. However, in the long time spent in the "villa," only a few seconds had actually passed in the outside world.
—Back to the outside world—
After the light surrounding agitω disappeared, instead of the usual cliché of glowing equaling evolution, agitω itself didn't exhibit any obvious signs of evolution. Instead, a faint, indistinct body appeared within agitω...
Sensing something amiss behind her, agitω (Shiori) turned around and saw the barely visible body. At the same time, she thought of her deepest fear, and then…
"Eee-ya!!!!!!!!!!"
The sudden scream made everyone's ears hurt a little. At that moment, agitω (Shiori) deactivated her transformation. Shiori rolled her eyes and fainted, falling to the ground.
However, apart from Shiori, who was too frightened to see clearly who the 'ghost' was, everyone else showed a complex expression of joy mixed with solemnity after seeing it. Of course, Kageki was different.
Even though Yingyue was wearing a helmet, strangely enough, you could see her expression through the helmet. That expression was so funny and ugly, it looked like she had eaten shit.
Because the one floating behind Shiori was none other than Shido, who was forced... or rather, voluntarily separated from his own body!
Through the Millennium Puzzle, Shido appeared here directly as a spirit. However, Shido forgot that Shiori was terrified of ghosts and monsters, and forgot that his appearance might frighten Shiori into fainting.
However, Shido didn't need to think about it anymore, because Shiori had already fainted and was heading towards the earth by gravity.
However, Shido couldn't touch Shiori at all, and nothing he did worked. But just because Shido couldn't help didn't mean the others would stand still like wooden statues.
When Decade and the others saw Shiori fall and Shido didn't help, they knew that Shido probably couldn't reach her. Among those who thought the same thing, Nanoha was the fastest to act.
"Bind!~~please!~~"
A silver-white chain appeared from the cherry blossom-colored magic circle and bound Shiori. Seeing that Shiori was already bound, Nanoha pulled hard and lifted her up.
Of course, Shido, who was attached to Shiori and the "Millennium Puzzle," was also pulled up, although it looked like he floated over.
As Hoshino approached, intending to take something out of her four-dimensional pocket, Shido stopped her, saying,
“Starry Night, she’ll wake up soon. I called out to her in her mind the moment she fell.”
After Shido finished speaking, Shiori, who had been keeping her eyes closed, began to open them slightly. However, after a while, when Shiori finally opened her eyes, she saw a person who looked very familiar, but was vaguely visible floating in the air (?). And so…
"Eee-ya!!!!!!!!!!"
Shiori screamed again!
However, having already fainted once, and perhaps having developed some resistance or something else, Shiori did not faint immediately this time. Instead, she began to use her hands to unleash the legendary "Paddle Fist"!
Well, Shido in his current state is completely immune to physical attacks, so it's no surprise that Shiori's attacks are completely hitting thin air. Everyone standing nearby, including Kageki who just looked like she'd eaten shit, are watching Shiori's actions with utter exasperation.
Where did the tense atmosphere go? This is still a battlefield, not a place for you to act cute!!
This was what everyone was thinking. However, even though everyone was complaining in their hearts, they didn't relax their guard. They all kept a close eye on Yingyue, afraid that she might suddenly escape.
While Shiori was still blindly doing something futile, Decade and Diend exchanged a glance. Their tacit understanding allowed them to instantly grasp what the other was trying to say, and they each took action.
Diend walked over to Shiori, grabbed her hand, and pulled her aside, intending to let her see clearly who the ghost was... However, seeing that Shiori was still playing rock-paper-scissors with her eyes closed, Diend felt a headache and speechless.
Decade coughed lightly, causing everyone to instinctively look at him (except for Shiori, Shido, and Diend). Decade wanted this effect, and then spoke to Kageki.
"Although it was temporarily paused for some unexpected reasons, it seems you were wrong this time, Shadow Moon. And now that the victim is here, isn't it even better?"
The face beneath the Decade helmet revealed a rare, 'malicious' smile, a blatant mockery of the arrogant Shadowmoon who had just been so boastful.
"Tch! You're underestimating me, Decade! Although we didn't kill him as planned, this Chosen One is here in the form of a soul, which means he hasn't broken free from his inner demons and has abandoned his physical body, allowing it to be taken over by the 'Inverted One.' But even so, you'll find a way to get this Chosen One back. Am I right?"
Ignoring Decade's taunts, Shadow Moon directly explained why Shido had become like this, revealing many reasons why Shido had become this way.
Upon hearing what Yingyue said, Decade narrowed his eyes and said...
"As expected, it has something to do with you, Shadow Moon. Now, it's time to tell you. Tell me briefly about why you came here, what tricks you played with the sword you stabbed into Shido's body."
Decade said calmly, and Decade agreed. Everyone else turned their attention to Shadow Moon, while on the other side, Shiori seemed to have finished explaining. At least Shiori didn't use the "Slacker Punch" again. However, Shiori still didn't dare to look directly at Shido for too long, and kept stealing glances at him.
But Shiori, when you were facing Kotori and the origami ghost in your own world before, you didn't seem to be that afraid. It seems that back then, your guilt and pain completely outweighed your fear.
Meanwhile, Yingyue noticed that everyone was staring at her. She realized that if she stayed too long, reinforcements might arrive. Although this was just her guess, she decided to finish her sentence quickly and leave just in case.
Thinking of this, Yingyue sneered as she spoke.
"No problem, I'm tired of your farce too, let's get down to business now."
Article 109: Escape and Effects
Article 109: Escape and Effects
"No problem, I'm tired of your farce too, let's get down to business now."
Yingyue sneered, paused for a moment, and then continued,
"The first question is, how did I get here?"
"Actually, I think that cross-dressing butler and the 'Bloody Dancer' also saw that I suddenly emerged from the body of that chosen one, and they guessed how I got here."
Yingyue pointed at Xingye and Yiwen, and said calmly,
Although Xingye and Yiwen, who were called out, were unhappy with Yingyue pointing at them, they temporarily put aside their displeasure upon seeing the questioning gazes of the others and spoke up.
"I was busy pinching Hoshino's soft flesh at the time and didn't see clearly, but my eyes were always on Shido's side. Don't look at me if you want to ask about this kind of thing."
Seeing everyone's gaze, Yiwen first shook her head to clarify that she hadn't witnessed what happened, and then confidently stated that she was pinching Xingye's soft flesh and hadn't looked at any other intelligence. This audacity truly put everyone to shame.
As the person in the spotlight, Hoshino noticed that everyone's attention had turned to him. He thought to himself that he was glad he had endured the pain and kept his eyes on Shido because of his ominous premonition, otherwise he would have been really embarrassed now. He guessed that Kageki would mock him as a complete 'henpecked husband'.
(Author: Originally qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcv………… (Mysterious voice: At this moment, the author was suddenly subjected to the punishment of having his face rolled on the keyboard by Xingye.)
After thinking for a moment about what to say, Xingye said,
"I did see that at that time, the Shadow Moon suddenly appeared behind Shido and the thorn pierced Shido's body. But before the Shadow Moon appeared, a tiny black aura came out of Shido's body. Moreover, although it only appeared for a moment, I could still sense the aura of 'Reversal Body' from that black aura."
Xingye shrugged and spread his hands as he finished speaking.
"That's all I know. We should ask this dark-skinned guy for any other information."
Xingye pointed at Yingyue and mocked Yingyue, the culprit who had just caused Yiwen to reveal his secrets.
"anger!"
Hmm, I don't know if it's Decade and the others' imagination, but it seems like a red hashtag has appeared above Shadowmoon's head. However, with their eyesight, it's impossible for them to be mistaken. But it's really hard to understand why Shadowmoon would be so angry over such a taunt. Shadowmoon, huh?
Okay, let's put aside everyone's complaints for now, because our story has to continue, otherwise it will take us way too far.
(Mysterious voice: This time, I have a pretty high opinion of myself...)
Returning to Yingyue, although she was angered by Xingye's taunts, she had great self-control and suppressed her anger before continuing.
"Tch! This is a hundred times more infuriating (whispering)... The cross-dressing butler was right, and I didn't misjudge the aura of the 'Inverted Body' either. I came to this world, which you have sealed off, by paying the price of the 'Inverted Body' growth."
