Kamen Rider: Evolution

"But if you can't become stronger, then it's still not very meaningful, is it?"

When Saruwatari Kazumi heard that their strengths were roughly equal, he instinctively said that he had long since put his life out of his mind.

"This brings up another issue: how do we make the smoke system stronger? I ask you, what is the reason that humanity has been able to dominate the world?" Jiang Xia did not give a direct answer, but instead raised another question.

"Because their brains are more developed, they possess intelligence superior to that of other animals," Kiryu Sento replied.

“That’s right. What are the outward manifestations of intelligence? How did they survive in the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood?” Jiang Xia held up one finger.

"Driving away wild animals, farming, and using fire." Kazumi Saruwatari's answer perfectly reflected his identity as a farmer.

"They are tools, and humans use and improve them efficiently," Kiryu Sento said. "Whether it's fire, swords, spears, or clubs, they are essentially tools that help humans."

"That's right. Throughout human history, we have always used various methods of attack that require less effort. Whether it's wearing animal skins, using fire, building houses, or taming horses, we have relied on external forces. This includes hunting animals and even killing humans, which has led to wars."

Jiang Xia calmly said, "A gun with a sufficient caliber can penetrate the skull of a large predator tiger with just one bullet, and the person who fired the shot is not much stronger than an ordinary person. They must not have reached the inhuman level to be able to fire a gun."

"What do you mean?" Kiryu Sento understood.

"Just give him a better gun than before. He doesn't need any other features. As long as he can pull the trigger, that's enough. The gun's power needs to be increased so that he can take down the enemy."

Jiang Xia pointed at Yuan Du Yi Hai, "There's no need to worry about how strong the user is. The weapon's lethality has little to do with a human's bare hands."

"I'll do it right away." Kiryu Sento dragged his chair around and faced the computer, reopening the data on the smoke system and the squeeze driver.

With his current danger level and the Knight Armor he's wearing, Kazumi Saruwatari can use most weapons. Combined with the stats from the Three Crows, his power should increase significantly.

Now the issues of exceeding the danger level limit and increasing strength are both resolved.

If you equip a gun with a smoke system with a nuclear warhead, then the person using the smoke system will be as powerful as someone with a nuclear weapon.

This is the true nature of human warfare.

Real weapons are always separate from people; they can be used by pressing a button.

Forget about those brain-dead questions about using danger levels to increase strength; making powerful weapons more like external armor is the right way to go.

Actually, this inspiration comes from Kamen Rider Kiva-la, also known as Yalan.

Hikari Natsumi does not have the bloodline of the Fang Blood Demon. Her transformation is to externalize the Demon Emperor's power so that it does not enter her body.

While this method can't compare to a traditional transformation, it won't have any side effects.

The same applies to the new equipment.

Kiryu Sento actually knew this principle, but he had always used the danger level to measure combat power, and his habitual thinking was too strong, so he was led astray.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Saruwatari Kazumi looked completely bewildered.

"To put it simply, it's like adding a weapon system to your Grease armor, just like how you use the Blizzard Gauntlets as weapons, but this time the weapons are added to your armor."

"I'll give you wings to fly from your back, cannons to grow on your shoulders, and indestructible claws to attach to your arms," ​​Jiang Xia said. "Would that count as becoming stronger?"

“Yes, of course it counts,” Kazumi Saruwatari said excitedly.

“Since it counts, your request has been fulfilled. You can get up from the floor now. Aren’t your knees sore from kneeling for so long?” Jiang Xia reminded Sarutoshi Kazumi that he was still kneeling.

"It doesn't hurt, it's actually fine." Kazumi Saruwatari stood up, dusting himself off. "Do you want me to stay and help you with the experiments?"

"No need, you should go and rest. Even if the new equipment is made, it will still need to be tested." Jiang Xia continued fiddling with his Evolution Driver, saying without turning his head.

"Okay, thank you, Jiang Xia, Zhan Tu." Saruwatari Kazumi left, clapping his fists together as he went, showing how excited he was.

“Zhan Tu, when you design weapons, you can use the nebula gas components in Yuan Du Yi Hai’s body as fuel to unleash a burst of power until his danger level is reduced,” Jiang Xia said. “The same goes for Bing Shi Huan De; he’s almost at his limit too.”

“Okay, I understand. Both the data from the Three Crows and the data from Prime Rogue are readily available, so it won’t take me too long.” Kiryu Sento nodded.

Prime Rogue is an upgraded equipment he developed for Iceworld Druid, whose combat power can suppress a Tier 1 Evolto.

It was damaged due to being used without adjustment, and I haven't had time to repair it. But now it seems that it doesn't need to be repaired. I can just make a new one that is compatible with the squeeze driver.

After Kazumi Saruwatari left, only the sound of Sento typing on his computer remained inside the base, and the incandescent lights dimmed for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xia picked up the evolution activation device, also known as the black hole trigger, from the workbench and inserted it into the notch on the left side of the adjusted evolution driver.

"Over the Evolution!"

"It looks like it was a success."

Jiang Xia felt the power flowing through the Evolution Driver and grasped the new black hole trigger with his hand.

The entire belt, including the black hole trigger, emitted a red, slime-like liquid at the same time. However, after being completely enveloped, the red slime merged into the belt and trigger and disappeared.

During this time, he completed the Evolution Driver, combining the Danger Trigger, the complete Pandora's Box, and the vampire genetic material to create a new Black Hole Trigger.

This trigger perfectly inherits all the advantages of the black hole trigger, allowing the power to be maximized at its limit.

It can freely control Pandora's Box and the things created by Pandora's Box.

Once activated, Pandora's Tower will never obey Evolto's commands.

Vampires also rule by the strong; their power is so great that they have the highest authority over anything related to them.

If Evolto gets its hands on it, it will have the leverage to challenge Killbus.

Furthermore, Jiang Xia paid special attention to the inherent weaknesses of the Evolution Driver and Black Hole Trigger from the very beginning, and even this weakness also existed in the weakened version of the Build Driver.

When the belt is attacked by an external force, if the trigger is hit and the injury reaches a certain level, the trigger will malfunction, rendering the user unable to move and turning them into a sitting duck.

Sento only learned this from Shinobu Katsuragi's reminder. As for how he was reminded, he beat up Sento in his dangerous form and made him experience it firsthand.

So Jiang Xia just eliminated this weakness, turning the Evolution Driver and Danger Trigger into mimics, and even set a trap.

If you want to kick a black hole, then go ahead and try. But if someone actually aims for the belt, the situation will be quite different.

Both of these items are divine artifacts, with certain barriers to their use, but their power is immense.

As the night slowly passed, sunlight pierced through the clouds and slanted across the wooden floor.

Misora ​​Ishidou pushed open the door of the cafe, spread her arms, and enjoyed the morning light.

Misora ​​Ishidou looked up at the clear sky and touched the golden bracelet on her wrist. 'She' hadn't appeared for so long.

After doing all that, she started her daily live streams.

Mitan has many fans online and is an important source of information, so she never misses a chance to participate.

Coincidentally, today is the day the new governor takes office, having been re-elected after the three vampires were eliminated.

However, this time there was only one, with Xidu as the leader.

The country was unified, but Misora ​​Isurugi was not happy to see the news, because Kamen Rider was still a wanted criminal, and the severity of the punishment was even greater than before.

Misora ​​Ishidou sighed, composed herself, and smiled at the tablet computer, because the live stream was about to begin.

"Hello everyone who likes Mitan, let's watch the new governor's speech together."

Misora ​​Ishidou flashed a sweet and lovely smile and started the live stream and broadcast.

Standing on the emerald green lawn was a middle-aged man dressed in a dark red suit with red stripes on the collar and cuffs. He was tall and straight, with neatly combed black hair and shiny leather shoes. He was none other than the former Prime Minister of the Western Capital, Masakuni Mido.

At this moment, he raised his hands and was giving a speech. The content of his speech was the same old thing: he said that Kamen Rider was the root of pain and war, and he was inciting the people.

Now that the three regions have been unified and a new country has been born, this news is no different from the news that was released online in advance; it's just a speech by the new governor.

But things quickly changed, and Misora ​​Ishidou, who was watching, covered her mouth in horror.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing; it was a live broadcast to the entire nation.

As he was speaking, Masakuni Mido suddenly burst into laughter, and his originally loud voice instantly became low and suppressed.

It doesn't seem to be human.

He raised his hands, a red glint in his eyes, and said, "This newly established nation will be destroyed today, and humanity, along with the earth, will become my food."

As he spoke, a black gale swept in and enveloped him, the wind appearing to be coiled by the body of a giant python.

A luminous cube surrounded them, and space itself seemed to warp. Black and purple lightning struck down out of nowhere, like something out of a mythical hell.

Covered in white armor, a humanoid figure resembling a Kamen Rider emerged from the distorted space, like a white reaper devouring everything.

"My name is Evolto. I am an alien life form that absorbs planets and transforms them into my own energy. I will destroy Earth and make it a part of me!" Evolto shouted.

Everyone watching the live stream was stunned and screamed in unison.

Although they had never seen Evolto in person, even when they were face-to-face with it thousands or even tens of thousands of meters away through a camera, they still felt a terrifying sense of oppression, like a giant python coiling around their neck, making it hard to breathe.

Evolto seemed to see the fear in people's eyes, and he chuckled softly, saying:

"Look how scared you all are, I'll make an exception and give you a chance. After all, I've lived on this planet for ten years and I'm quite attached to it."

"To Kamen Rider, bring Pandora's Box and Lost Energy Bottle to Pandora's Tower at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Let's wager this planet to complete this final battle, hahahaha."

"I'm waiting for you here. Behold my evolution that surpasses all others."

When Evolto said his last sentence, he deliberately tapped the camera with his finger.

"Hmm, let me give it a try."

Jiang Xia, who was watching the live broadcast from the side, understood that the words were directed at him, so he answered decisively.

"Jiang Xia? Everyone?"

Startled, Misora ​​Ishidou turned her head sharply upon hearing the sound.

She realized that Jiang Xia had already come to her side without her noticing.

Not only him, but also Sento, Ryuga, Gris, Sawa-nee, and Gentoku-san all came.

"Don't worry, Mitan, I will definitely protect you."

Saruwatari Kazumi instantly moved in front of Ishidou Misora, looking at her with deep affection.

He believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would eventually win Mi Tan's heart.

I will definitely wear my most handsome suit to the wedding.

It has to be said that otaku's fantasies are really outrageous, jumping straight to marriage.

"There's still one day left, Zhan Tu, can you handle it?" Jiang Xia turned his head.

"Of course, I'm a genius physicist." Sento gave an OK sign.

Ryuga's Dragon Locking Items, Saruwatari Kazumi's Three Wings Items and Drivers, and Hyoge Gentoku's Drivers and Upgrade Equipment.

One day is enough.

He worked on it all night yesterday and has already completed a small part of it.
