Kamen Rider: Evolution

Chapter 248 Inheritance

Inside a two-story duplex villa.

In the living room, Hongdu took out a piece of fine wood and gently placed it on the board in the violin studio.

In the fairly spacious violin studio, Hongdu carefully polished the wood, her hands without the slightest tremor.

At a certain point, he slowly stopped and looked with delight at the completed violin panel.

"It's done!"

Kivat poked its head out of its little nest, looking at the excited Red Cross with a puzzled expression, but seeing the violin that was almost finished, it spoke:

"Watari, are you making violins?"

No sooner had it finished speaking than it saw Red Cross excitedly say to it, "This time I'm sure I can make a violin that surpasses Blood Red Rose."

"Indeed excellent." A slightly aged voice came from beside me, but it was a compliment.

"Father, what brings you here?"

Fang Bat III twisted his body, looked up at the window beside him, and stared at Fang Bat II with a hint of doubt, as if he were carrying something.

Shouldn't he be staying by Xiaohui's side at this time?

After returning to the future, Wataru finds the sealed Fang Bat II behind his house and uses Kiva's power to break the seal.

The second Fang Bat also kept his promise and has been silently protecting Aso Megumi these past few days.

"I've discovered this; it's related to Kiva."

The Tooth Bat II flew into the air, released its claws, and the round thing bounced a few times on the workbench before stopping.

"It looks like a clock?" Hong Du picked up the object and examined it carefully.

“Yes, and it even has Kiva's design on it. This thing was right next to me when I woke up this morning. It seems to belong to Jiangxia,” said Fang Bat II.

I don't know why, it's just a gut feeling.

"Has Mr. Jiang Xia returned to this era?" Hong Du's eyes lit up as he eagerly asked the second Fang Bat.

The second Tooth Bat, who had just landed, thought for a moment and said, "Probably not, I can't sense his presence."

“Let’s go to Delan Castle now. We should be able to go back through the Time Gate,” said Hongdu, picking up the watch.

If Mr. Jiang Xia returns to the modern world and appears before him, it means that he no longer needs to stay in Delan Castle and suppress the power within him.

“No need, I’m back, Hongdu,” Jiang Xia said.

“Mr. Jiangxia?” Hongdu rubbed his eyes.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Seeing Hongdu's astonished expression, Jiang Xia smiled and said:

"I don't think I've been away for very long."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia also saw the Kiva watch face that Hong Du was holding in his hand. Just as he had guessed, the reason why the watch face did not appear was because Hong Du had not been born in the past.

One of the conditions for the appearance of the watch face should be recognition. When he guessed this condition, he already knew where the watch face was.

Everyone might not approve of him, but Wataru is different. He's willing to risk his life to awaken him. If that still doesn't meet the conditions for the appearance of the Rider Watch, then there's something wrong with the conditions.

"Oh, right, Mr. Jiang Xia, here's your watch face back." Hong Du handed the Kiva watch face to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia took the Kiva watch face, and that feeling of carrying history returned once again, but this time it was very easy. The Kiva, which has two different Kiva armors, was also sucked into the Kiva watch face.

At the same time, as the Kiva Watch was absorbed, the power within him seemed to suddenly become unified, no longer feeling any disharmony, and a new power was born.

Legend has it that the Puppet Beast and the Fang Blood Demon were unified through the power of the Demon Memory, and Jiang Xia himself still remembers what they looked like back then.

Even though it took a long time to digest the Zerg Queen's half of the energy core, it no longer felt like it was indigesting.

The power within him now seems capable of bearing everything.

If we had obtained the Kiva Watch earlier, the power of the Fangblood and the power of the Legendary Beasts might not have clashed at all, since they are both part of Kiva's long history.

"This really solved a big problem for me," Jiang Xia exclaimed.

"Oh, by the way, besides needing the watch face, I also left something for you when I came back this time."

Jiang Xia reached out and summoned the Delan Castle of this era through the window with a dragon's roar. He no longer needed Kiva to summon the Delan Dragon.

"Come with me, Hongdu."

While Wataru's current combat strength is quite good, if Jiang Xia needs help, Demon Emperor Kiva's combat strength is somewhat insufficient, and Demon Emperor Kiva is only a basic form.

Jiang Xia pushed the oil painting aside, revealing the repaired wall. With a gentle press, the hilt of the Demon Emperor Sword appeared in the groove.

This is the Demon Emperor Sword from twenty-two years later. It was clearly placed here by Jiang Xia a moment ago. Now that Taiya has inherited the royal seal, even if it is pulled out, Delan Castle will not be affected.

Hongdu looked at the sword hilt embedded in the wall and was a little confused. Wasn't this Jiang Xia's sword?

“The Demon Emperor Sword is the weapon of the King of Fang Blood Demons,” Jiang Xia said with a smile, “and now it belongs to you.”

“It represents responsibility and the heart to protect others. Pull it out, and you will gain enough power to protect this world,” Jiang Xia said.

Hongdu nodded upon hearing Jiang Xia's words, and then approached the Demon Emperor Sword step by step.

Having gone through so much, he understands the importance of power better than anyone else. If he had had this sword back then, everything might have been different.

"Can the Demon Emperor Sword really be wielded by Kurenai's bloodline?" Fang Bat II asked Jiang Xia, looking at the protruding hilt.

"I believe in Wataru. Although he only has half the blood of the Fangblood, there is no doubt that he has the ability."

The instant Hongdu gripped the sword hilt, the crimson demonic power surged into his body along his arm.

The pattern representing the vampire spread rapidly from his arm, and the veins on Wataru's arm could be faintly seen.

A look of terror crossed Hongdu's face, as if he had seen something horrible: slaughter, war, and splattering blood.

Countless lives have perished under this sword, from the very beginning, the Blood Demon King, to Jiang Xia's world-destroying strike.

The Demon Emperor Sword remembered every killing, and it also remembered every person who wielded it.

However, after sensing Jiangxia's battle, Hongdu felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and his consciousness quickly returned to normal.

Only then did he realize how powerful the enemy was in the battles that followed Jiang Xia's departure.

With a whoosh, Hongdu's arm veins bulged, as if he had used all his strength to pull out the Demon Emperor Sword embedded in the wall.

At the same time, the patterns of the Blood Demon filled Wataru's entire body, his eyes turned scarlet, and his face was covered with patterns.

Suddenly, Hongdu knelt down, the Demon Emperor Sword in his hand piercing the floor, and beads of sweat dripped down his face.

The fang-blood demon markings on his body began to fade rapidly, and at the same time, immense power flowed through the sword in his hand and into Wataru's entire body.

"Mr. Jiangxia, I succeeded. I pulled it out." Hongdu said with a smile.

"Very good," Jiang Xia praised.

As power flowed through his hands, golden bats burst forth from Jiang Xia's grasp, hurtling towards the Demon Emperor Sword and converging on its hilt. A monster resembling a golden bat gently bit the blade.

This doesn't mean the power of the Demon Emperor Sword is severed, but rather that the Demon Emperor Sword's instinct as a blood-sucking demon sword is sealed.

If this isn't sealed, every time Wataru kills a Blood Demon, that Blood Demon's life energy will be absorbed by Wataru's body along with the sword.

If their numbers increase, Hongdu could gradually transform from a half-human, half-fanged vampire into a true pure-blooded fanged vampire, which is not what Jiang Xia wants to see.

Of course, with the Kiva watch face, Jiang Xia can summon the Demon Emperor Sword anytime, anywhere, so it doesn't matter whether the sword is in Hong Du's hands or embedded in the wall.

Chapter 249 Future

February 3, 1987, the beginning of spring.

The sun on the horizon was lukewarm, like a hard-boiled egg just pulled out of the water, unable to warm the ground no matter what.

Earlier at Deland Castle, I didn't notice any change in temperature.

The temperature change will not cause any noticeable abnormality in Jiangxia at present.

When I stepped back onto the ground, I realized that spring had already begun.

On Christmas Eve, snow fell heavily, and time in this world seemed to have been paused, remaining exactly the same as when Jiang Xia left.

Jiang Xia walked alone on the street, and the slightly chilly wind made the pedestrians on the street shiver.

Even so, it didn't change their desire to go shopping.

But that's normal. No matter how bad the environment is, it won't change the desire to buy, buy, buy.

Jiang Xia is currently heading to his destination, which is also his first real home in this world.

However, it seems that this place is still a bit far from the city center. For the Supreme Blue Sky Society, secrecy and not being discovered are the most important things.

Besides this detached villa, the surrounding area was also bought up; this truly shows the wealth of a tycoon.

Jiang Xia walked into the courtyard and gently pushed open the gate. The inside was very clean, and even a little empty.

The moment he entered the villa, his footsteps suddenly became light, and the door closed automatically without making a sound.

He slowly walked up the circular staircase to the end of the second-floor room.

Inside the room, there was the sound of steady, gentle breathing. Jiang Xia pushed open the door and went in, quietly sitting on a stool to the side.

I picked up the book that was lying upside down on the wooden table, straightened it, and then started turning the pages one by one.

Yuri Aso lay on the soft, comfortable bed, her body gently turned to her side, her belly drooping, as if subconsciously protecting her unborn baby.

Just then, a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves outside the window, soft and peaceful, but the sound seemed to disturb her.

His once smooth forehead suddenly furrowed, as if he had dreamt of something terrible.

She was calling out something slowly, and although her voice was very soft, Jiang Xia, who was reading a book nearby, could hear her clearly.

He slowly closed the book, then sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Aso Yuri with his right hand, and whispered, "I'm here, I won't leave."

"Mmm." Yuri Aso murmured upon hearing Jiang Xia's voice, and then fell into a deep sleep once again with Jiang Xia by her side.

Although Jiang Xia solved the problem of insufficient life energy, Aso Yuri suddenly became very insecure after becoming pregnant and needed someone to stay by her side all the time.

Aso Yuri had clearly had another nightmare. What she feared most was that Jiang Xia would suddenly disappear again one day. Coupled with her pregnancy, she became somewhat anxious and insecure.

However, these are all minor issues. If one cannot use such a long life to live happily, then what is the ultimate purpose of praying for immortality?
