Kamen Rider: Evolution

Even though he knew Xiao Xi would survive in the end, he still did it.

However, the results are quite satisfactory; she's now incredibly strong, like an ox.

Just now, she had inadvertently paused time, and images of another timeline in her mind began to appear.

However, he has not yet acquired all of his memories.

This is her talent, a talent related to time. Jiang Xia had a vague guess about it since their first meeting, but this time it's confirmed.

As a protozoan, Kusakabe Hiroshi vaguely possesses memories from different points in time, both before and after the modifications.

So the moment she saw Jiang Xia, memories from another timeline that had been dormant in her mind began to awaken, but this time it was different.

Kusakabe Hiroshi, who should have met Jiang Xia at the age of eighteen, waited until he was twenty.

Moreover, she endured this even knowing she wouldn't live past twenty, not knowing why she was waiting, just waiting and waiting.

Unlike Jiang Xia himself, no matter how many different times he is in, there is only one him. He does not exist in the past or the future, but only in the present.

In other words, he has no history, and there are no two of him.

Kusakabe Hiroshi is the same person in all different timelines, even in the timelines that are about to be overwritten.

The question of whether the person you were a second ago is the same as the person you will be a second later is essentially unanswerable.

If the time being changed doesn't belong to the same person, then time travel isn't time travel, but rather space travel.

Traveling to parallel worlds does exist, but it's not the same as traveling through time.

Regarding different timelines, at most it only involves using the HEPA filter to rewind for a few seconds.

Kusakabe Hiroshi's ability to access and modify memories from the past isn't as overpowered as one might imagine.

Because the past was almost the same, no matter how Hypa's time went backwards, her life remained unchanged, unless a huge change occurred, in which case she would not notice the difference.

It's like a chicken rib – tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

That is, it is equivalent to the function of singularities.

Will you still be there tomorrow?

Kusakabe Hiroshi watched as Jiang Xia poked her little head out of the window as she was about to leave.

"Of course, I'll always be here." Jiang Xia waved his hand.

Tendou Souji followed them from the afternoon until evening, only leaving after Jiang Xia escorted Kusakabe Hiroshi home.

After watching Tiandao Zongsi leave, Jiang Xia's body also disappeared silently.

Ladder to the Sky at night.

The ant soldiers, dressed in their neat uniforms and lined up in formation, were guarding the entrance.

This is a matter of great importance concerning the survival of all mankind. If successful, ZECT will gain greater influence.

Under their protection, not even a mosquito could fly in, and everything was as quiet as usual, except for the occasional footsteps of the ant soldiers changing shifts.

No one else could possibly come into contact with this place.

The Sky Ladder houses a massive central control system, and all personnel and buildings here serve the Sky Ladder.

The Sky Ladder alone occupies most of the ground here.

The massive steel structure has already been raised high, pointing directly at the space station suspended in space.

Above the space station is a super acceleration system that can accurately locate and teleport meteorites within its range.

The footsteps approached from afar, seemingly without any attempt to conceal their presence, as if they didn't care if anyone noticed the intruders.

Jiang Xia, holding a blank book, ignored the patrolling ant soldiers and walked straight towards the entrance.

The iron gate in front of him, which required a large amount of steel to forge, opened out of thin air. There was no key, no authorization; he could simply go in if he wanted to.

Even the security system here couldn't make a sound; the infrared sensors and 24-hour detection equipment were all malfunctioning.

The doors of the operations center, which could withstand even explosions, did not stop Jiang Xia for even a second.

Neither the maintenance personnel nor the operators who were already preparing to run the Sky Ladder noticed that behind them, someone had silently opened the control panel connected to the Sky Ladder.

And the ubiquitous surveillance cameras here failed to capture any image of his back.

Do you believe in the concept of an afterlife?

Kagami Riku, with his hair neatly combed back, sat in a chair, looking at the space station in space, and turned to ask Mishima Masato, who was standing next to him.

“Since they are going to perish sooner or later, humans can survive inside the Zerg,” Masato Mishima said respectfully.

He had wanted to destroy this boring world for a long time, and ZECT had perfectly achieved his goal and wish.

And he can live inside the alien insect, so why not?

"Stairway to Heaven, I hope it can truly bring us salvation." Kagami Riku looked at this scene with deep emotion.

"Great, that will change the coordinates."

Jiang Xia slowly stopped, and a memory chip was inserted into the control panel interface that had been operating the Sky Ladder.

Countless data points were continuously input into the control room, and the system began to acquire the highest level of access to this massive building.

Without any special means, this Sky Ladder has already changed hands.

"Sure enough, there's a massive meteorite capable of destroying Earth behind the original coordinates," Jiang Xia said with a serious expression.

However, it is still quite far from Earth. If it weren't for the super-fast teleportation system created by humans, this meteorite might have remained adrift in space indefinitely.

Such a massive meteorite, the impact and gravitational waves it generated alone would have been enough to wipe out most life on Earth.

The number of alien insects contained on that meteorite far exceeded expectations.

Due to Jiangxia's interference, this meteorite has been replaced with a massive meteorite that has no life and whose trajectory does not connect with Earth.

At dawn, Tendou Souji arrived at Sal Restaurant once again. His fish was still being kept there, and he wanted to see his sister again and find out about the relationship between the man from yesterday and her.

"You were yesterday's Tendou Souji?" Takemiya Yumiko asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Um, I've come to retrieve my fish, but is the chef here?"

Tendou Souji looked at the fish that was already trapped in the ice and sighed.

There's no other way. Although this might affect the taste, it preserves the food perfectly, especially in the current situation.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi has taken leave, saying she's not feeling well." Takemiya Yumiko looked at Tendou Souji. "Do you want to eat?"

"You're not feeling well. Where is Xiaoxi now? Has she been to the hospital?"

Tendou Souji became anxious upon hearing that Kusakabe Hiroshi had requested leave due to illness.

"No, I just feel a little tired," said Takemiya Yumiko.

"Please tell me where Xiao Xi is now?" Tiandao Zongsi asked.

At that moment, Kusakabe Hiroshi was looking at himself in the mirror in surprise.

Her eyes seemed to have turned gold, but the next second, they turned back to black.

Chapter 229 The Sky Ladder, Activated

As the sun rises, its rays envelop the earth.

At this moment, a large number of people entered the city full of hope. Almost everyone in the Tokyo area had gathered together and looked up at the screen located in the center of the city.

A day earlier, if these emaciated people had flooded into the city, they would certainly have been driven away by the defense forces.

But today is different. After the Sky Ladder was completed, Kagami immediately announced to Tokyo that they were about to regain control of the ocean.

So these people, who originally lived in the Gobi Desert, did not encounter any obstacles along the way and gathered together.

In this situation, everyone hopes that ZECT's Sky Ladder project will succeed.

Riku Kagami, the leader of ZECT, sat expressionlessly in his high seat as Masato Mishima explained the current situation to him.

According to current information, the giant acceleration system is ready, all systems are functioning normally, and it can be activated at any time to attract water from space and save humanity.

The Earth will be completely overrun by the Zerg within the next 72 hours, or at the earliest in 48 hours.

The Zerg will wipe out most of humanity, and most countries in the world will be completely unified, becoming a paradise without war or killing.

What pleased the higher-ups even more was that the entire resistance group had been wiped out, and all the insect-controlling devices had been recovered.

Thanks to the unidentified knight who defeated them one by one, they were able to successfully control the remaining people.

There was no need for the Golden Knight to intervene, but just to be on the safe side, he was already prepared and was simply waiting for the remaining Kabuto to appear…

I don't understand why the insect detector would recognize a stranger, but they've already adjusted it.

The insect device cannot be removed now, so the user can only fight until death, thus avoiding the loss of combat effectiveness due to the insect device.

All the ant soldiers assembled at the Sky Ladder command post, with all their guns pointed outwards. Helicopters equipped with various weapons were ready to take off, and the entire space was sealed off.

Tendou Souji was riding his knight-style motorcycle towards Kusakabe Hiroshi's house. The news of the water source was nothing compared to Hiroshi's physical condition.

He vaguely sensed that there might be something fishy about the Sky Ladder project, and that the news about the Golden Knight was also very suspicious. After visiting Kusakabe Hiroshi, he decided to find out more.

"Kagami, is everything alright?"

Shuichi Tadokoro, wearing a headset and a suit, looked at Kagami, who was wearing an orange spacesuit, in front of him.

"Yes, I will successfully complete the mission." Kagami was now brimming with confidence. "No one can stop me."

Xiao Xi would probably be very happy to know that Earth's oceans will recover.

He stepped into the Sky Ladder, opened the safety door, and carefully installed the device to secure his body.

"Sky Ladder, activate!"

Countless technicians' fingers flew across the keyboard as they performed final checks and adjustments on the system, recording all the data.

Soon, these valuable records will become capital for their organization to go further.

They all have only one goal in mind now: for Earth to be saved by ZECT.

The scientists who completed the system were filled with joy as they watched the data constantly changing on the screen.

Being able to participate in events that save the Earth is a great honor for them.

Kagami was tightly strapped to his seat, and the rapidly increasing height made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
