Kamen Rider: Evolution

Jiang Xia stood there quietly, waiting for his arrival. Although he had a general idea of ​​what was going on, he still needed to see him in person to be completely sure.

A small figure emerged from the distant horizon, accompanied by a dark gold that blotted out the sky.

The moment the figure fully appeared in Jiang Xia's sight, waves of dark golden energy erupted from the distance, as if a dark golden mountain was collapsing towards him. The light, shaped like a sharp blade, sliced ​​through the air and slashed towards him.

Jiangxia also unleashed a shockwave, which acted like an invisible protective shield, blocking the impact.

A figure stood in the dark golden light, staring at Jiang Xia.

He was a very well-behaved boy, dressed in a neat white shirt and well-fitting shorts, like a primary school student who had just left school in his uniform.

But if you look into his eyes again, those dark golden pupils are filled with ruthlessness and indifference, and a surging majesty shines from them.

Looking at those eyes alone, one would only think that this is a high-ranking person who treats human life as worthless.

But those intimidating eyes actually appeared on a short boy.

"The time for my departure has finally come. Merge with me, and we will become the true kings!" The boy's imposing presence was almost tangible, and dark golden light radiated in all directions.

"Oma Zi-O!" Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes, looking at the boy in front of him with a solemn expression.

Without a doubt, this boy's true identity is Oma Zi-O, and the dark golden power is the power of Oma.

This was not difficult to identify, and in the very instant he came into contact with the power of the Demon King, the knight power he originally possessed was completely suppressed, reducing the strength of his original power by almost half.

If one relies solely on the power of a knight to face the power of Oma, the power will be reduced by half.

In other words, the power of the Oma Zi-O naturally suppresses the power of the Knight.

It can not only suppress, but also absorb, amplify, and plunder.

Jiang Xia now understands how Oma Zi-O used the Rider Build Watch to instantly defeat all the Riders and villains.

It wasn't just that the old demon king's skills were impressive, but that he had already awakened back then. It was like he was wearing a first-tier shell and using the power of the Demon King. It would be strange if he couldn't win.

However, not all riders are suppressed. There is one who is not suppressed by Oma Zi-O's power, and that is Zi-O. Zi-O's power is not suppressed and he can exert the power he originally possessed.

What confirmed Jiang Xia's suspicions even more was that the long-absent control panel had once again issued a task.

The last mission he was given was to fight the Blood Demon King, gain access to the Earth's database, and defeat the Zerg Queen.

The rewards for these three missions are the Aurora Veil and the Decade Watch.

The mission announced this time is even more significant.

Task!

Defeat Oma Zi-O! (Weakened Version)

Reward: The power of the Demon King!

To be honest, the mission and rewards offered are a bit redundant. Oma Zi-O is right in front of us, and he's already confirmed to be the enemy. Defeating him will naturally grant us Oma Zi-O's power.

This panel merely serves as a reminder of what's in front of you. It's not a mandatory task, but one that must be completed, and the reward is the same as what you already have.

Chapter 547 Encounter with the Demon

Jiang Xia looked at the boy walking slowly towards her and said, "Tokiwa Sougo, no, the real Sougo?"

"That's right, I am the real Sougo."

The boy gazed at Jiang Xia, who had already called out his real name, from afar. A strange smile, completely out of character for his appearance, appeared on his delicate and youthful face, while his pupils subtly turned into vertical pupils.

Dark red waves of demonic energy danced around the boy; simply standing there was already beyond the limits of what the Mirror World could withstand.

The power of the demon behind the boy materialized into a phantom yet powerful golden knight, its blood-red mask exuding a terrifying aura, as if forged from fresh blood.

Defeated, Shirou Kanzaki limped to his feet and pleaded with the little boy before him, "Demon King, please give me another chance. If you give me even a little bit of power, I promise I can defeat him, Yui..."

"Hahaha." The boy chuckled softly, the aged voice combined with the childish tone creating an eerie atmosphere.

The boy only glanced at him, and Kanzaki Shiro froze on the spot. The immense fear that arose deep in his heart made him afraid to say another word. His mind was completely suppressed by those eyes.

"The purpose of giving you power is to allow you to attract the best and most suitable person to merge with me into the Mirror World. You have no chance of defeating him, and I have no intention of fulfilling my promise." Oma Zi-O cruelly stated the truth.

"And what about Yui? You promised to extend Yui's life and make her a normal person." Kanzaki Shirou's voice was unusually hoarse as he spoke, overcoming unspeakable fear for his sister.

He made a deal with the boy in front of him, exchanging Kanzaki Yui's fate for the devil's. He sold himself and everything in the Mirror World to the devil in front of him. In order to complete the deal, he had to use Odin's power to restart the Knight War and then kill all the knights.

It sounds exactly the same as how he repeatedly used Odin to interfere with the Rider World and gain a new life for himself. Logically speaking, he didn't need to make a deal with Oma Zi-O at all; he could have accomplished all of this on his own.

But that was before. Now, even if everything goes smoothly and Odin defeats all the knights before Kanzaki Yui's 20th birthday, he can no longer prolong Kanzaki Yui's life, because the thing that could give people new life, which was born in the Mirror World, has disappeared.

Kanzaki Shiro didn't know why fate was playing such a joke on him. He knew that if he continued to advance the Knights War, and only the strongest remained, new life could be born.

However, after the last Knight Battle, Mirror World lost this ability. Even the one who knows Mirror World best and discovered the Knight Card Box could not reverse it, so he had no choice but to make an exchange with the boy in front of him.

"I don't know how many worlds I destroyed, and I spent a lot of my power doing so, which eventually led to my decline into this state. I am trapped in the crack of time and can't return to the real world. I can only rely on the mirror world to move around temporarily."

Oma Zi-O looked at his diminutive body with a cold expression. "I need to obtain a new life, a truly powerful life! The humans of the Ryuki world are not worthy of merging with me. Even the life of the strongest in the Rider Wars can only restore my power to the point where I can cross worlds and ride Another Ryuki."

"What did you say? You... what did you say?" Kanzaki Shirou stared wide-eyed at Oma Zi-O in disbelief.

“That’s right. After the victor emerged in the last Knights’ War, I received a new life born from the Mirror World. It restored some of my power, and I swallowed it. Therefore, when you restart the Knights’ War, even if there is a victor, he will not be able to give birth to new life, because the Mirror World only has one chance to give birth to life.”

"After regaining some of my power, I saw a powerful life form that, while not the best Sougo, possessed the power of Zi-O II. He was more suitable to merge with me than Sougo."

Oma Zi-O turned to look at Jiang Xia, then at Kanzaki Shirou, "When you discover that the Mirror World cannot nurture life, you will naturally cooperate with me, become my representative, and serve me."

He wouldn't stoop to lying; he's Oma Zi-O!

"Of course, now it's as I wished. The mirror world's copying ability has made up for the missing second-order dial. Light and darkness, past and future have been unified. After Jiang Xia, who has a complete second-order Zi-O, merges with me, I can not only gain a new life, but also restore my power to the maximum extent."

So that's how it is. The S-class being we encountered in the spatial passage was indeed Oma Zi-O, but not this little kid in front of us.

Jiang Xia listened to the whole story and understood what had happened.

Of all this information, only one is most important: multiple versions of Oma Zi-O exist simultaneously in different worlds.

The purpose of Oma Zi-O in giving himself the second-order watch is currently unknown, but the one in front of him is almost certainly an enemy.

It seems the Omaha Chat Room really exists, otherwise I wouldn't have been located so easily even with my second-tier dial.

"You bastard!" After realizing everything, Kanzaki Shiro charged at Oma Zi-O with a raging fire.

"Your power is too weak; you don't even qualify to be fused with by me." Oma Zi-O sneered. Even though he appeared as weak as a child, killing someone was still a piece of cake for him.

A crimson glint flashed in the boy's eyes. He raised his right hand, and without even transforming, a blood-red shockwave erupted from his palm, which was less than half the size of an adult's. The ground trembled instantly, and Kanzaki Shiro, who was struck, didn't even have a chance to say his last words. In a fraction of a second, he was instantly reduced to dust by the impact.

"Become one with me, let us become the kings of the whole world, the true demon kings!"

The boy killed Kanzaki Shiro as easily as crushing an ant. After killing him, he turned around and looked at Jiang Xia, whose aged voice called out to him.

“I refuse. Merging with you would indeed grant me instant access to power, but that’s not what I want. I’ve known for a long time that to control great power, one must first become powerful oneself. This approach is completely meaningless,” Jiang Xia said.

"Hmph... Hahaha." The boy laughed. "That's not something you can decide."

Suddenly, a belt resembling the Time Driver appeared in his palm, but with both sides completely covered by golden armor. It was an item that possessed almost the strongest power in the world.

"Oma Driver!"

"Blessing the moment!"

The boy put on the Oma Driver, and his aura almost solidified. With the blessing moment, a huge, constantly rotating golden clock suddenly appeared behind him, and the earth kept cracking as if it could not withstand such a powerful force.

"Boom!"

The ground suddenly shattered, and extreme heat erupted from the earth's depths, with crimson lava gushing forth from the earth's core, surrounding the golden clock that had opened up on the ground.

"Transform!"

The crimson mask suddenly lit up in the center of the golden clock, and at that moment, the lava that was already flowing erupted again, spewing out from the ground like a tsunami.

Looking down from the sky, the entire area lit up, the reddish-gold lava resembling golden blood flowing from the earth.

"Supreme Benevolence! Supreme Goodness! Supreme Excellence! Supreme Power! Ohma Zi-O!"

In the flowing lava, dark gold stripes completely enveloped the boy's body, while crimson patterns were perfectly embedded in the visor of the knight who emerged from the lava.

He stood on the ground, and the surrounding sunlight instantly dimmed, with only that crimson hue faintly glowing in the dimness.

Rule the world!

This is the king's transformation, the most benevolent, virtuous, supreme, and powerful demon king.

The entire mirror world seemed to fall silent under this oppressive force. All the monsters in the mirror world prostrated themselves on the ground, and only the faint sound of the wind could be heard in the vast mirror world.

The most powerful knight slowly emerged, his entire body covered in dark gold armor, his body adorned with clockwork patterns, ancient yet powerful. Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, as if the entire world was altered according to his will.

His majestic gaze swept over everything in this world, placing him above all other knights, making him a powerful knight who was nearly invincible.

Oma Zi-O!

"Give up your life," said Oma Zi-O.

“I won’t sit idly by and wait to die; you will also become part of my evolutionary journey.”

For Jiang Xia to say something like that in front of Oma Zi-O is either suicidal or demonstrates absolute confidence in his abilities.

Of course, Jiang Xia wasn't afraid at all; the word "fear" had long since disappeared from his vocabulary.

"Time-Space Driver!"

Compared to Oma Zi-O's Oma Driver, Jiang Xia's equipment is rather meager, as he can only use the basic Time Driver.

Because the power of Oma Zi-O severely suppresses the power of the Riders, and because of the shared origin of friend and foe, not only Riders but even monsters are suppressed, so they have to find another way to use their power.

Merge all the power with Zi-O and use it in Zi-O's way.

"Let me see the power of Zi-O II."

“Zi-OⅡ”

The moment Jiang Xia pressed down on the Zi-O II Watches, which were already connected, two opposing forces of the same origin were simultaneously emitted from the II Watches.

"Zi-O! Zi-O!"

Two different dials were inserted into the sides of the Time Driver. At the same time, the power of the dials that had been gathered by Jiang Xia appeared along with the armor of Zi-O II.

"Transform!"

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Rider! Zi-O·Zi-O·Zi-OⅡ!"

Two pale gold clocks appeared simultaneously on either side of Jiang Xia's body. The moment he turned the time-space driver, the clocks on both sides began to rotate at the same time.

Unlike the light gold watchband that appeared when Tokiwa Sougo first transformed, this time the watchband that appears when the clocks are rotated from both sides is pure gold.
