There was chaos, no light, no darkness, not even feeling.
Some people may be curious about what it feels like to sleep for thousands of years. In Higashino Ryusuke's opinion, it was just a sleep that lasted so long that he didn't feel anything.
Over the long years, Ryusuke's body was repaired and strengthened under the influence of spiritual stones. Of course, most of the power was used to maintain life.
After an unknown amount of time, he began to regain a faint sense of consciousness, and then slowly grew stronger.
His thinking also began to move extremely slowly. Although the outside world has already seen the passage of time in years when he thinks about it, he still figured out some things bit by bit during the tens of millions of years.
He is still alive!
He vaguely remembered feeling the heat coming from his waist before his consciousness dissipated, as if something was integrating into his body.
And in this world, other than Kuuga's Aguru Belt, he couldn't think of anything else that could help him survive in such a situation.
As for the belt, in the novel, there is indeed a second belt in the ruins.
That belt was a trial model used by super-ancient humans to create Kugo. However, due to the incompleteness of the Yamadam spirit stone and the immaturity of the technology, it could only transform the wearer into a newborn form and a newborn ultimate form.
And that belt is more likely to erode the host's consciousness, turning it into a biological weapon that is devoured by killing.
If nothing else, he should have put on a trial belt and been sealed in this ancient ruins like a graveyard.
Ryusuke could feel that the power that solidified life kept his consciousness in a state of confusion and chaos. Just like in my childhood dream, I tried my best to open my eyes and see my surroundings clearly, but I was always surrounded by the feeling of powerlessness that I couldn't do it no matter what.
In such misty chaos, and no one knew how many years had passed, the power of the seal was slowly loosening, until one day, he clearly felt that the power that stagnated everything disappeared.
This long-lasting dream is finally about to wake up!
"Help, help!" In the darkness, humans were calling for help in Japanese, and screams kept coming and going.
"Kora!!" A hoarse voice like a beast roared in a low voice, making the earth tremble slightly.
"Boom!" With a sound, something was thrown to the ground heavily. Then there was a rumble, like a huge boulder hitting the ground and rolling over.
In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Ryusuke woke up with a start, his body was like a piece of rotten wood and it was difficult to move. Heat began to spread from his waist, his heartbeat revived, his blood flowed, and his mind was still a little confused, but his control over his body and his perception of the outside world were quickly returning.
The carnage outside continued, with cries for help mixed with footsteps and shouts.
After tens of thousands of years of sealing, Daguaba has revived!
Ryusuke also instantly understood the current situation during his rapid recovery.
In 2000 AD, an expedition team led by Professor Natsume Shinkichi discovered the remains of this mysterious super-ancient civilization at Mount Kuro. During the excavation, the king of Kuroki, Daguba, was resurrected, and all members of the expedition team were tragically destroyed. And the plot of Kuuga has officially begun...
His body has completely regained control, but the feeling of weakness that penetrates deep into his soul still makes it difficult for him to adapt.
"Professor Natsume, leave quickly!" a young voice shouted, followed by a shrill scream.
As an elective course he took in college, Ryusuke could only understand some simple Japanese.
But at this moment, he was struggling.
What to do, go out and fight Daguaba?
He knew very well that he was no match for Da Guba. Even if he had a Kuga belt, it would still be the same, but the most common Kuga would be to die in vain.
So give up like that? Let those people be killed, that was their original fate anyway.
Are you kidding...
In the ruins, every scream from the people was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
He remembered that he was just randomly attacked by Daguaba before, and fell into a desperate situation on the verge of death. People outside now must have the same feeling of despair as he did at that time.
"I should also do something..."
Ryusuke held the top of the sarcophagus with both hands and exerted force. However, his body, which had just recovered and was still extremely weak, was unable to shake the stone coffin lid for a while.
How can I give up, strength, I need strength! He screamed in his heart.
Light suddenly bloomed from the waist, and a belt condensed out of thin air. The whole body was made of unknown white metal, with mysterious ultra-ancient characters engraved on the left and right ends. In the center of the belt was the red Yamadam spirit stone.
In the light, Ryusuke's body changed accordingly. Black reinforced skin enveloped his whole body, followed by milky white biological armor covering his upper body and various joints. On his forehead, short golden horns extend from the top of his head, and the super-sensory light on his forehead shows the same red color as the spiritual stone on his belt.
The white newborn form appears!
A powerful force suddenly emerged from the body, and the sarcophagus lid suddenly seemed to be much lighter. It was easily lifted with Ryusuke's full push. Then, Ryusuke stood up and jumped out of the sarcophagus.
In the ruins cave, most of the members of the expedition team had been slaughtered, leaving only a seriously injured young man and a middle-aged man.
One side of the young man's body was already covered in blood, and the middle-aged man helped him limp away. However, the disheveled Daguba was approaching behind him, and despair filled the faces of the two men.
In the dark cave, the ferocious-looking Dagu looked like a man-eating ghost from hell.
stop!
Ryusuke clenched his fists and rushed forward based on instinct. He jumped into the air and kicked his legs sideways towards the figure of Da Guba in front of him.
The sound of Ryusuke's appearance had already aroused Daguba's alert. Faced with his offensive, Daguba had already expected it and stepped aside. He grabbed Ryusuke's ankle with his backhand, twisted his waist, and used Ryusuke's The momentum threw him aside.
"Uh-huh!"
There was no time to react. Ryusuke only felt dizzy before his eyes, and his whole body had been thrown away.
The Daguaba in front of him, even though he was in a weak state that he had just recovered from, was far superior to himself in both speed and strength.
"too weak."
Daguaba spat out a few syllables contemptuously, turned around and rushed towards the middle-aged man and the young team member. The next moment, they had appeared next to the two people.
"Professor Natsume!" Death was approaching, and the young man only had time to push the professor away, and then Daguba pinched his neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Monster, let go of my student!" The middle-aged man yelled loudly with great fear, and ran back to face Da Cuba, who was also grabbed by a hand.
Ryusuke quickly got up, gritted his teeth, waved his fists again, and rushed forward without any plan.
"Hmph, you are not overestimating your own capabilities!" Daguaba was a little impatient and threw the middle-aged man dozens of meters with one hand. He was not sure whether he would live or die. Then he punched the young man's chest and threw the young man's body at his feet.
"asshole!"
Ryusuke's eyes were about to burst. He rushed in front of Daguaba and punched out with both fists, one to the door and one to the ribs. However, Daguaba easily held him back.
The fist was weak, and before Ryusuke could react, Daguba flew up with a kick, hitting him in the abdomen, and kicked him away hard.
"Wow -" Ryusuke's body flew out uncontrollably, and he fell to the ground again, clutching his stomach. Not far away, the young man's body still had its eyes open angrily.
Damn it, is there still nothing to protect in the end? Even he himself is in trouble!
However, even if he hides like a turtle, Daguaba will always notice him.
Ryusuke spread his fingers and tried to lift his body up from the ground. He covered his chest with his other hand and gasped uncontrollably. The pain spread to his nerves.
Is there no other way...
He stared at Daguba who was approaching step by step. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the overturned sarcophagus behind Daguba, which belonged to Rick.
His attention was suddenly attracted. In front of the sarcophagus, Rick's "mummy" body lay quietly. Next to it, casually thrown on the ground, was the belt that had temporarily lost its luster and turned into stone.
Wait, maybe, there is still hope!
In the original book, although Rick had his belt pulled off by Daguaba, he did not die directly. He was still alive until the TV ending.
If only Rick could be awakened...
Ryusuke suddenly had a plan in mind. He stood up again and attacked Daguaba. He jumped out and punched Daguaba's chest.
Just like before, it seemed like a powerful blow, but it was full of loopholes. Just the moment he took action, Daguba had already thought of dozens of ways to deal with it.
This made Daguaba's attitude significantly relaxed when facing Ryusuke's attack.
However, suddenly, Ryusuke's outstretched fist quickly retracted, and he leaned down and squatted down, causing Daguba's hand that was already in the air to fly away.
He took advantage of the gap and rolled forward on the ground to bypass Daguaba and rush towards the belt.
Such a change was unexpected by Daguaba. When he turned around and came to his senses, Ryusuke had already come to Rick's side and put the belt on Rick's body.
The stone-like belt began to show luster the moment it was worn, and the cyan color like a rock quickly faded away, and soon it returned to the original color of Yaguru's belt, shining brightly.
Rick's body immediately began to show obvious signs of life, but there was no immediate recovery.
It seemed that he had suffered unimaginable injuries after being forcibly removed from his belt by Daguaba, and it would take some time for him to wake up.
But Daguaba will not just wait like this. He is very angry now. He has been teased by someone he regards as an ant, and another person he regards as an old enemy has humiliated him for tens of thousands of years by sealing him. This enemy , he planned to report it on the spot.
As Ryusuke looked at Rick's skin regaining its luster little by little, he was already worried.
Damn it, just a little bit.
Senior Rick, wake up!
Behind him, Daguaba was approaching quickly, and his overwhelming momentum brought a chill. The situation was very serious.
There was no room for hesitation, he had no other choice.
Ryusuke turned around and faced Daguba.
You must fight for time, this is your last hope!
