My youth story cannot be a knight war

Zaimokuza's exclamation interrupted Hikigaya's thoughts. He subconsciously looked up at the light curtain in front of him, and the scene he saw also made his heart tighten.

“Yukinoshita…!”

"Little Snow!"

"..."

Contrary to her friends' reactions to this scene, Yukinoshita herself, who was at the scene, could only sigh the same as her future self when she saw her future self holding the little girl and looking at the surging black fog as if she had chosen to leave everything to fate.

Whether in the past or in the future, Yukinoshita has never been someone who would compromise with fate, but she also understands that there are always times when one is powerless, and sometimes human power is ultimately unable to change reality.

The situation that "Yukinoshita Yukino" and the others were facing now showed that there was no hope of escape no matter how they looked at it. The terrifying black fog would only take a few minutes to reach the temple where everyone was. Without any means of transportation, they had no hope of survival unless they could run at the speed of a racing car on their own two legs.

Realizing that her future self would soon exit this "story", Yukinoshita smiled self-deprecatingly. Life was indeed like a play, and no one knew when their ending would come.

“I never imagined that my future self would—???”

The golden light suddenly illuminated his hands. Yukinoshita, who lowered her head and didn't want to see "her own" end, was stunned and raised her head again to look at the light curtain.

"This is……"

The golden light rose up and shone in everyone's eyes, like a meteor streaking through the darkness in the dark night sky.

54. Sudden change

"Damn it! It's actually this guy!"

The several-meter-long blackboard turned into a huge screen at this time, and looking at the scene displayed on the screen, Xu Guoliang, who was sitting in the last row of seats under the classroom podium, had a face as dark as a pebble.

The image of the old sarcophagus floating in the black fog appeared on the blackboard that had turned into a huge display screen. The moment this scene appeared, distorted lines began to appear on the edges of the scene displayed on the entire blackboard, accompanied by a harsh noise, which was very similar to the reaction of a TV due to poor signal.

But this screen is actually a virtual image created by the power of the book controlled by countless living beings. So how could there be a poor signal when there is no electrical signal, not even any wires connected?

The truth hidden in this is infinitely more terrifying than that, because it means that the energy magnetic field filled with the image scene at this moment is so powerful that even the light curtain created by the fantasy driving book itself is affected!

This was a phenomenon that had never happened before, and it also indirectly reflected how powerful the existence sleeping in the sarcophagus was. The overflowing power just when it was about to revive made the image on the light curtain so unstable, and it would be even more unimaginable once it was fully revived.

Although Xu Guoliang had previously speculated that N-Gamio-Zeda, the Gurongi known as the Wolf King, might exist in the world line currently being observed, he did not have an accurate grasp of the level of power this guy possessed.

In "Kamen Rider Decade", the performance of the one in the parallel world can only be regarded as a reference. Except that the ability of the black mist should be the same, other aspects are completely a mystery, especially the combat effectiveness.

Although the one in the parallel world also has the name "N", his combat power is completely unworthy of the name. The Gurongi of the "N" Group was actually defeated by two newly debuted Kamen Riders in their initial forms. The collapse of the combat power logic is really indescribable. This is simply a plot written by the screenwriter with his toes after being too lazy to think. It is completely unreliable.

But this is not necessarily the case in this world line. Sometimes the supporting characters in different world lines may be even more different than the protagonists. The best example is Yusuke Godai and Yusuke Onodera. Although they are both knights qualified to have the name of "Kuaga", the difference between the two is obvious.

Therefore, although they are all Gurongi from the "N" Group, their strength may not be at the same level. Daguba and KUUGA are actually special cases themselves and cannot be used as a reference.

Therefore, Xu Guoliang speculated that no matter how weak Gamio in this world line is, he will not fall into the miserable world of the parallel plane. At the very least, he should be stronger than Gadoru who has an electric shock body in the original world line, and on par with the amazing form of Kuuga transformed by Yusuke Godai, or even stronger.

Although he had overestimated Gamio's strength in his heart, Xu Guoliang now found that he had underestimated him too much. After feeling the power and aura emitted by the other party before he woke up through the images created by the control book, he no longer had any hope in his heart.

Because this is the genuine article, without any water in the slightest, from the 『N』 Group Gurongi, and it is definitely a being that is as powerful as the Ultimate form of Kuuga and the Ultimate form of Daguba!

In other words, in this world line, "Yoshiki Zaimokuza" has not yet unlocked his ultimate power, and Daguba has not yet retrieved all of his belt fragments. The soon-to-awaken Gamio is the real ceiling of combat power, and no one can be his opponent.

And that bat actually awakened such a terrifying monster, and even wanted to use it to achieve its own goals???

The word "astonishing wisdom" is not enough to describe the outrageousness of Gooma's behavior and thoughts. This is simply the terminal hysterical symptoms caused by taking a huge amount of mangosteen, which causes the brain to absorb too much mangosteen alcohol.

"You motherless bat! I..."

Xu Guoliang stood up and wanted to curse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that because of his good upbringing, he couldn't find any words to curse others.

“…Shit!”

The perspective of the image on the blackboard switched before it was completely distorted. Looking down from above, the thick black fog had spread out in all directions with the mountain as the center. Seeing this, Xu Guoliang punched his desk hard, and the eyes behind the glasses seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

His gaze shifted to the white driving book he placed on the table. Looking at the cover of the driving book, Xu Guoliang hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes became firm.

Xu Guoliang picked up the fantasy driving book that belonged to him and placed it in front of his chest. As his mind was guided, white light appeared between his waist and abdomen, and a pure white belt condensed into shape in the light. The size of this belt matched Xu Guoliang's own waist circumference perfectly, without any deviation.

This belt is very similar to the "Destruction Driver" used by the Lord of Truth and Stellius during their transformations, but the main body is completely white and the name is different.

"Transmission Driver" is the name of Xu Guoliang's belt.

Obviously, faced with this sudden situation, he, who had been sitting firmly in the audience, finally couldn't sit still anymore and decided to go down in person.

This was also a helpless choice. If possible, Xu Guoliang really didn't want to do it himself. You know, before this, he was still a liberal arts college student with a combat effectiveness of only 0.5 geese. Among college students known for their poor physical fitness, liberal arts students were at the bottom of the list.

Even if he had become a Kamen Rider now, the "Myriad Living Things Control Book" was not a control book that was biased towards combat, and the user was only transforming for the first time. In this situation, facing the highest-level "N" group players of the Gurongi clan, who were famous for their combat power... I can only say that the winning rate was really touching.

But Xu Guoliang had to take action this time, because he had no choice. He was probably the only one who could match the opponent's fighting power.

Although he is not good at fighting, if he uses all the mental power he has accumulated so far to strengthen himself, he should be able to fight against the awakened Gamio and win.

After all, even if Zaimokuza Yoshiki and Kousaka Kyosuke joined forces, they would never be able to defeat the resurrected Gamio. The "ultimate power" that surpasses the five elements is simply not a force they can contend with at present.

As for Daguba? Instead of pinning our hopes on him, we should just pray for Rick to be resurrected, and...

Thinking of the darkness he had seen when he used the driving book to observe the future of this world line, Xu Guoliang felt as heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart. He was not stupid.

If I'm not mistaken, that darkness is what the Gurongis and the others dreamed of when they held the "Kikiru" - the "Ultimate Darkness".

Since Xu Guoliang knew almost everything about Gurongi, only this thing, which was hidden in many mysteries until the end of Kuuga's original work, could have caused such a strong shock to him.

The future of this world line was completely shrouded in darkness, and even he could no longer observe any scene. The only thing that was certain was that the "Ultimate Darkness" seemed to have been successfully summoned in the future.

After all, although there would be obstacles, his driving book could even be observed by the Gurongi of the "N" Group, but it could not see even a little information about the "Ultimate Darkness"... Xu Guoliang knew very well what this meant.

Even if Gamio, who is about to be awakened at this moment, is not the culprit who brings about the "Ultimate Darkness" in the future, he is definitely related to this matter.

Therefore, Xu Guoliang, who had personally experienced the horror of that darkness, had already made up his mind to do his utmost to prevent that future from coming!

Even if people later complained that the author was taking sides, he would accept it. After all, he was not the first to start such a thing. But if that darkness was really summoned, then this world line would be completely over.

“This is the story that you and I started…”

Xu Guoliang silently grasped the driving book, put his hand on the cover of the book, and spoke softly.

"...So I will never give up the power to write our ending."

He raised the Book of Controlling All Living Things, pushed it hard towards the driver at his waist, and shouted loudly.

"Change--!???"

Just before the bottom of the driving book was about to fall on his belt, Xu Guoliang's movements suddenly paused, and he stared at the scene displayed on the blackboard with wide eyes.

"This is???"

A sacred golden light bloomed from the screen, enveloping the shocked Xu Guoliang.

Faintly, a voice crossed the boundary between reality and illusion and resounded in the hearts of all those who saw this place through the light curtain.

"……sorry."

"elder brother."

55. Seal (4k)

This is a dark space, silent and still, as if it has been like this for a long time.

But in such darkness, there is a consciousness. This consciousness is like a shining white light in the darkness, illuminating this terrifying darkness into a radiant area, like a lighthouse in the black sea.

"The Original Man... He is about to awaken."

A gentle voice sounded in the darkness, and a pair of slender hands clasped together. The stone magatama worn on one of the hands made a pleasant sound like a wind chime when it collided.

"They still couldn't catch up in the end? How could this happen..."

There was an unconcealable sigh in the woman's gentle voice, and her big black eyes were filled with sadness.

"There's no other way. Zaimokuza-san can't defeat that being with his current strength. We can only..."

The last words were cut off before they were even finished. The woman lowered her head, her heart full of struggle.

Faced with the current dire situation, she actually has the ability to stop it - as long as she uses the final means left.

But the final resort was not left to deal with the current situation, but for another purpose, and the woman was very clear about this.

The purpose of this final measure is to prevent the wearer of the Yamadam Belt from harming other lives in this world when the wearer is completely consumed by darkness and becomes a "grim warrior."

The Yamadam Spirit Stone is the highest masterpiece of the ancient times, the culmination of the ancient science and technology of the Gurongi clan. It can give the fragile Gurongi the power to fight against the bloodthirsty Gurongi clan, but it also has terrible side effects. That is, if the user's mentality is not up to standard, he will eventually degenerate into a pure combat weapon that only knows how to kill.

This is not speculation or prophecy, but something that actually happened once in ancient times.

In fact, the Yamadam spirit stone used by Zaimokuza today is the second-generation product after improvement. Before that, the Gurindo clan also created a prototype belt and handed it to the most promising warrior in the clan at that time. They hoped that this warrior could use this belt to protect the clan from the Gurongi.

This warrior did gain powerful strength through the belt that was enough to rival Gurongi, but what happened afterwards was beyond the imagination of all Lindo at the time.

The ancient Lindo people in the ancient times were a kind-hearted herding and pastoral people who made a living by farming. They were so kind that they had no concept of "killing". If they joined Buddhism in this era, they would all be saints qualified to attain enlightenment and become Buddhas.

But in that era, it was difficult to say whether this was good or bad. The lack of the concept of killing meant that the Lindos would not harm other lives, but it also meant one thing.

That is, the Lindos have no idea what kind of guilt will surge after taking the lives of other intelligent beings, and without this experience, their hearts cannot bear the heavy pressure brought by this guilt.

Therefore, when the warrior accidentally killed a Gurongi that invaded the village while using this belt, he could not bear the guilt of killing the same life, so he went berserk due to the uncontrolled power of the belt and even turned around and attacked the tribesmen he was supposed to protect.

It was not until his hands were stained with the blood of his own people that he finally came to his senses and his spirit completely collapsed. He chose to commit suicide. This painful lesson also made Linduo and others realize how terrible the flaws in the belt they made were.

Therefore, the prototype belt was sealed forever. The Lindos created a second belt based on the original data of this belt, and added a restriction to this belt. That is, the true power of the belt can only be exerted when the user has the awareness of sacrificing his life in battle. Otherwise, the person who uses this belt to transform cannot even defeat the most ordinary Gurongi fighter.

But even so, the Lindos still couldn't be completely relieved, because they knew that no matter how strong a soldier's will was, his heart might still be crushed by guilt in the day-to-day fighting and killing, and the tragedy would be repeated.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening a second time, Gulindo and his men tried their best and left behind one last preventive measure.

When the "Scary Warrior" appears again to wreak havoc on the world, this will be the only way to stop him. Similarly, if this method can stop the "Scary Warrior", it also means that it can stop disasters of the same level.

But the problem lies here. This method was reserved for the "Stern Warrior" and can only be used once.

This method was not only to stop the "grim warrior", but also to give the other party a chance, a chance to break free from the darkness both physically and mentally... This was why the woman felt silent.

It was precisely to prevent such a tragedy from happening again that she, who should have passed away ages ago, now exists here.

Once this method is used here, when the "Terrible Warrior" appears again, there will be no way to stop him.

...And that person's soul, which was swallowed by darkness at that time, will never be freed again.

"..."

The woman raised her head, and the light around her spread forward, condensing and interweaving, finally forming a scene.

In the scene, a man in a tan windbreaker was riding a motorcycle alone on the road, his eyes full of anxiety behind the windshield of his helmet.

She was about to go to the most terrifying battlefield in the world, but at this moment he didn't care about his own safety at all, but was worried about his friends on the battlefield... The woman could see from his eyes that he had long since put his own life and death aside and only wanted to protect the people he cherished.

A long, long time ago, she had seen the same look in another person. At this moment, the two identical pairs of eyes crossed time and space and overlapped with each other in memory, making the woman's eyes a little dazed.

The other person was really similar to the one in his memory, not in appearance or ability, but in something more essential.

"So if it were you... you would probably make the same choice as him, right?"

"Mr. Zaimokuza."

Zaimokuza in the scene didn't answer, nor could he answer, but the woman seemed to understand something and spoke softly.

"...I understand. Your friends will be fine."

"Just like Rick, I choose to believe you."

"You will surely overcome the darkness within you, stop the Gurongi's plans, and prevent the 'Ultimate Darkness' from descending upon the world."

As the words fell, golden light suddenly bloomed, filling the dark space.

……

【Nagano Prefecture, Kurodake, ruins. 】

【boom--】

Near the deserted investigation team's base, the Alpha Obelisk, which had previously stood quietly outside the ruins' entrance, suddenly trembled violently, its clear chimes echoing amidst the hurricane's roar.

All the words engraved on the obelisk lit up one by one from bottom to top. Soon, the obelisk was completely ablaze with golden light like a torch, gleaming brightly under the dark red sky.

At this moment, the golden totems detached from the obelisk, floating in mid-air and swirling around it, like countless fireflies dancing around a towering tree. Brilliant and colorful light and shadows illuminated the area.

A faint female voice suddenly rang out from the obelisk, surrounded by countless golden totems.

“…I’m sorry, brother.”
