Gray, as if under a sky that has lost all hope;
Black, like the earth drowned by despair;
A bloody figure with an unclear face swayed forward, slowly raising his bright red palm...
…
Inside Teed's castle.
Tid suddenly woke up from his chair, pressed his forehead with an ugly expression, and murmured:
"A dream...?"
"But why do I have such a dream?"
"Who is that person with blood all over his body and whose face cannot be seen clearly?"
He stood up and looked around.
But the familiar scenes around him didn't bring him the slightest sense of security.
So he raised his head...
At this time, the minute hand of the clock has just crossed the last minute of December 2.
The night is getting dark, but there is still a waning moon in the sky.
A ray of moonlight shines through the skylight and shines on the seat, reflecting on Tide's face, making his face paler.
Tid looked at the waning moon hanging in the sky, his expression gradually lost...
In a daze, he vaguely heard someone calling his name.
"Tide, hey, Tid!"
Tied suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and found that the person calling his name was none other than Swaruz.
"how do I……"
Tid's pupils shrank, and the doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Scene changes.
The Swaruz standing in front of his seat disappeared. On the opposite side, a new Swaruz was slowly walking in from the door.
But at this time, Tid had forgotten everything before, and only remembered the reason why this scene happened now...
That was the first time that Swaruz, who was active online in Zi-O, came to "dedicate" to him.
That's right,
Swaruz,
The orthodox prince of the time clan,
Come to join him, the executor of the marginal bloodline!
ha!
It really makes me want to laugh out loud!
It seems that this era ruled by the King of Demons is not all bad at all.
Thinking like this, Tide smiled reservedly and elegantly:
"Welcome to watch my coronation ceremony, Your Highness Swaruz, it is my honor."
Having said that, there was no hint of humility in Tid's eyes and expression.
Arrogance, contempt, provocation...
In fact, after he watched Swaruz freeze for a while, his anger hidden but suppressing his expression, he only endured it for a moment and showed it unabashedly.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--!!!"
He began to laugh, wantonly and triumphantly.
In the laughter, all the scenes began to blur.
Tid suddenly came to his senses, and his memory returned, and he found that he was still standing in front of the throne on the high platform, looking at the waning moon in the sky at night.
The familiar loud laughter was still in his ears, but his expression suddenly became extremely confused.
Because he couldn't figure out why he suddenly remembered the scene just now.
This made Tiede's mood add a little irritability on top of uneasiness.
He subconsciously began to look for a reason for himself to suddenly think of that scene...
for example,
Swaruz brought him the watch of the alien Zero North,
Another example,
Swaruz took the initiative to lead the King of Time to...
"!!!"
Thinking of this, Tid suddenly came back to his senses.
He remembered...
He had previously received a notice from Swaruz that the King of Time had now entered the space-time tunnel and began to wander at the boundary of the two timelines, so...
"Why didn't I complete my plan and instead stayed here in a daze?"
As soon as he had this idea, the scene changed again.
Teed immersed himself in the new scene.
He sensed that the power of the King of Time was approaching, so he started to rob it, and then he got the Knight's watch of the King of Time.
Tid looked down at the Zi-O Knight watch in his hand, and was stunned for a moment before the scene returned.
And as soon as he returned, he saw a huge hand dripping with blood, reaching towards him from the sky.
The scene that seemed to break the dream and reality really startled Tide, who had just returned to consciousness. He subconsciously took a step back and fell onto the throne with a "thud".
The palm came closer and closer until it completely blocked the moonlight that had been dyed red by it.
The lightless castle suddenly fell into darkness.
Tid's eyes were suddenly filled with light.
Scene changes.
A female voice sounded from under his throne.
That was the result of Aura, the time robber who also came from the Zi-O line, reporting to him the surveillance of "Shougo Tokiwa".
"The King of Time is here..."
Bad news!
For Tide, that was bad news that no matter how sweet a girl's voice was, it couldn't hide it!
Unreasonable anger and irritability arise in my heart.
"Hmph - good to come! I'm not afraid of him coming. On the contrary, I will only be worried if he doesn't come!"
He made wild proclamations.
"Haha, Ola, your behavior is really just as Swaruz expected!"
He viciously exposed the bet he and Swaruz had made with Ola's choice, and began to criticize Ola's choice.
Finally, he took out the Alien Den-O Watch from his body, and used it and the Alien Zero North Table to transform Kuunaga Shingo and Hana into Alien Knights.
Watching them leave his castle, Tid blinked briefly, and the scene in front of him returned instantly.
"call--"
A cold wind blew by, blowing away the dark clouds covering the waning moon.
The moonlight returned, still bright.
Where are the huge palms dripping with blood?
Tid looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't tell which part was reality and which part was illusion.
But no matter which side he was on, the irritability in his heart kept piling up.
In order to avoid being swallowed up by those [annoyances], Tied stood up from his seat, walked quickly down the platform, and walked quickly towards the laboratory where the singularity was stored.
He wanted to do something that would make him feel at ease...
During this process, his expression changed several times and his pace became faster and faster.
"Bang!"
The door to the laboratory was pushed open by him.
Just as Tid was about to step into it, his expression suddenly froze.
Scene changes.
He discovered that he was transforming a strange demon god into the power of the alien king of lightning through the perspective of Kuunaga Shingo, and the strange demon god he was transforming into power was...
"The little bug that escaped before..."
The scene changes again.
"……Give me."
Teed suddenly came to his senses and found that he was standing in front of "Shougo Tokiwa".
And what he handed over in his raised palm was none other than Zi-O's knight watch.
Teed immersed himself in this new scene...
Tid remembered that he had just forcibly split the alien electric wire.
He felt that although he had temporarily trapped the King of Time in another time, that did not guarantee that the King of Time would not come desperately when his plan was about to be completed.
Therefore, he needs a powerful combat force that can stop the King of Time at critical moments.
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't "Tokiwa Shogo" who is also Tokiwa Shogo be the best candidate?
Looking at "Shougo Tokiwa" who raised his hand to take the Zi-O Knight watch, Tid smiled.
"you……"
The scene suddenly returns.
The smile on Tid's face suddenly froze.
He found that the door to the laboratory was still closed, and he was stretching out his hands to push it.
But he clearly remembered that he had already opened the door! ?
"Am I still reminiscing?"
"But why, in this memory, can I recall what just happened?"
Thinking like this, Tid raised his hand to press his forehead. He found that the boundary between illusion and reality in his mind was not only becoming blurred, but had even started to become blurred...
Then, as if to confirm his idea, when he put down the palm on his forehead, he was shocked to find that he was standing in front of the laboratory door, ready to open the door. He had obviously just taken a nap. When he woke up, he was still sitting on the throne and had not yet gotten up!
Tid was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly and ran towards the laboratory.
However, at this moment, the door to the laboratory suddenly opened.
"call--!!"
A strange wind began to howl.
It was as if a monster that was devouring all things was slowly inhaling in the laboratory with its mouth wide open.
Tid quickly stopped and wanted to turn around and escape.
But as soon as he turned around, the suction force suddenly increased to the point where he couldn't resist, and it sucked him away instantly.
"No--"
he screamed in horror.
As a result, the next second...
He stood in front of the laboratory door again.
In front of him was the laboratory door that he had just opened.
As far as the eye can see, everything is so calm and...familiar!
It's like going back to the beginning.
However, this [familiarity] made Tide stagger back uncontrollably.
But just as he started to retreat, he heard a "crash", the skylight behind him shattered, and someone broke in.
Zero North, Sakurai Yuto.
Tied quickly turned around and saw Yuuto Sakurai inserting a black and green card into his belt, but it turned into a purple-black hole and sucked him into it in the blink of an eye.
Tid struggled subconsciously, and then fell off the throne with a "plop" and rolled down the high platform.
He "woke up".
But it’s no longer clear whether this is “again” or “again.”
I can’t tell whether this is a “memory” or a “reality”.
There seemed to be countless mouths talking in my mind.
"Hey, Teed!"
"carry……"
"The King of Time is here..."
"Escaped bug!"
"The strange demon...this is the end..."
"Become a different person for me..."
"Masked...Shi...Doomsday..."
"The plans...are all fake...oh..."
Those noisy noises kept buzzing in his head, causing Tide to hold his head and hit the ground hard.
"Bang! Bang!"
Then……
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came.
The ground disappeared and turned into a bottomless pit to swallow him.
He began to fall continuously in the endless darkness...
However, the [irritability] that filled his heart did not disappear, but continued to accumulate like snowflakes;
Then, [irritability] turned into [irritability];
Finally, [irritability] became [mania].
Tide also changed from repelling the scene to looking forward to it.
Because only in those recalled scenes could he temporarily get rid of the noise in his mind and escape from the bottomless pit from which he could not escape.
But even in his memories, the emotions that had filled his heart would not disappear.
【Irritated】【Irritated】【Angry】
These emotions were eating away at his sanity.
His desire to talk is getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more difficult for him to communicate...
Then, he began to enjoy the feeling of his sanity being swallowed up and his soul constantly falling.
He greedily longed for a new round of memories.
Even though those memories were like drinking poison to quench thirst, every time he "returned", there would be another noise in his mind.
But how painful the "return" scene was, the more he longed to enter the memories as soon as possible.
He was already looking forward to the moment when his sanity would be completely swallowed up.
Tied thought to himself that it must be a supreme pleasure for him.
But no matter how much he expected, how much he longed, how much he prayed, he could never sink completely.
It was as if, deep down in his heart, there was another self who made the exact opposite choice to him. No matter how painful it was, he always stood by the last line of defense of his sanity.
And just when Tid thought this hell would last forever, he suddenly entered a scene different from his previous memories with those noises...
…
…
【17:00, December 3, 2018】
Gray static space-time, time that stops moving forward into the future.
Tied, who was unable to move because he was blocked by a blood-stained clock magic circle, looked angrily at the figure in front of him that was bleeding and swaying but refused to fall and shouted:
"Are you crazy?"
"Stop! Even if you do this, you won't get any benefits!"
"You will just completely disappear from this timeline!"
"I can promise you that as long as you stop now, not only your uncle, but also your parents will be resurrected in the new world, how about that?"
After anxious persuasion to no avail, Tiede began to get frustrated.
"Damn it! My plan is perfect! Even if I had to do it over again, nothing would change!"
"You can't stop me!"
"There's nothing you can do to stop it!"
Finally, the figure who walked in front of Tid spoke.
"Ah."
He raised his head and smiled unusually calmly despite bleeding from his orifices.
"You really don't understand anything."
In this timeline, the original "Jiba Shogo" raised his palm and pressed it to Tide while continuing to speak.
"There is only one reason why I made this choice, and that is, I don't see any future possibilities in you."
Tide shouted with a ferocious expression:
"What nonsense are the possibilities in the future? The only mission for the birth of this timeline is to be ruled by me! Serve me! You will not succeed. I will definitely turn this time back! By then, I..."
At this point, Tid's shouting suddenly stopped.
Because, "Jiba Shogo"'s blood-stained palm finally fell on Tide's head.
Regarding Tide’s last harsh words, “Tokiwa Shogo” replied:
"Really? If you can really do it, then I will witness it with my own eyes in your spiritual world and applaud you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Den-O's knight watch emerged from the body of "Shougo Tokiwa" and built a railway track between him and Tiede's spiritual world, and then transformed into a small Den-Liner that kept moving on the railway track. Traveling back and forth.
Then, "Tokiwa Shogo" also turned into a static sculpture like Titoku.
"Click!"
Under them, in the strange clock magic circle, the Den-Liner-shaped hands began to rotate in the opposite direction...
…
…
Tid pressed his head, which was suffering from a headache, and clearly felt the difference in the scene he recalled this time.
at this time……
The calm sky suddenly opened a wormhole.
The severely damaged Den-Liner fell out of it and fell to the ground.
Tied raised his head, looked at the train falling from the sky involuntarily, and subconsciously took a step forward... No, it was not that he subconsciously took a step forward, but there was something in the train that attracted him and had a strong influence on him. A suction force was created... It was that suction force that pulled him one step forward.
Tied controlled himself and thought, what is it? What is it about there that attracts me? In other words, what is there in me that is being pulled there?
And just when he was thinking this, he suddenly froze...
Because he discovered that he actually started to "think normally"! ?
Tid lowered his head, slowly raised his hand to his chest, and then raised his head suddenly.
"Ha ha ha ha……?"
The corners of Tid's mouth seemed to tremble, and he laughed twitchingly.
He seemed to understand what was pulling him there... It was the "noise" filling his mind, the culprit that trapped him, the poison that made him want to stop after trapping him, and the things he was constantly experiencing. "Memories"!
As soon as he thought about this, Tide laughed wildly and said:
"Take it! Take it! Take it all! If this is what you want, then take them all quickly!!!"
Tid no longer controls himself, he will take the initiative to give everything away.
But at this moment, Tide suddenly found that his body did not obey his orders.
The other self hidden deep in his heart, the self that didn't let him fall, the self that insisted on him bearing it all soberly, was resisting him like never before, rejecting his choice.
Except for the last line of defense that sticks to reason like a rock, this is the first time Tiede has sensed other emotions from his other self.
anger!
But the problem is...
"I am also very angry!!!"
With a distorted expression, Tid forced himself to take half a step forward.
"tread!"
At the same time, a strange time fluctuation suddenly spread out in the Den-Liner.
Under the influence of the two factors, the other defense in Tide's heart failed instantly.
"Crack!"
With a crisp cracking sound, layers of "time" instantly overflowed from Tide's body like smoke and were sucked into the front of Den-Liner's driving car.
Suddenly, that strange time fluctuation was like a flame getting fuel, rising again.
Immediately, a sudden change occurred.
A train phantom suddenly rushed out from the front of the car, flipped in the air, and slowly joined the Den-Liner.
During this period, the severely damaged Den-Liner quickly returned to intact condition at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then the flute sounded.
"Ugh——!"
Den-Liner, resurrected from the ashes, took off again at the critical moment, missed the ground, and left through the wormhole.
At the same time, the moment Den-Liner left, Tid also disappeared.
…
…
In the gray still space.
Above the blood-stained clock magic circle.
After the minute hand reversed 17 weeks, the sculpture-like "Shougo Tokiwa" suddenly raised a smile on his lips.
"Perfect answer, worthy of [me]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, "Tokiwa Shogo" began to turn into sand little by little. This phenomenon quickly spread to Tide along the railway track connecting him and Tide.
After they all started to experience this phenomenon, the small Den-Liner on the railway track turned back into Den-O's knight watch.
At the same time, a yellow light point suddenly rushed out of "Jiba Shougo"'s body.
It was a phantom that had been previously created by "Tokiwa Shogo" in the mental world. At this time, according to "Tokiwa Shogo's" plan, it broke out of his spiritual world, came to reality, and began to materialize.
In the process of his materialization, his body involuntarily began to absorb the sands of time that escaped from "Tokiwa Shougo" and "Tede".
As a result, the light spot quickly expanded into a ball of light.
Once it was large enough to hold a watch, Den-O's Knight Watch was the last step to give that phantom and strange demon god its characteristics.
Finally, the newly born phantom and alien god rose into the sky, passed through the wormhole and left this time and space.
That was the origin of the birth of Windtalus...
The time at that time was 17:01, December 3, 2018.
The originally static space and time, the gray that represented the old future, disappeared, and the time when Tide completed the plan completely became history, with no possibility of turning back.
Color rendering, a new future is born, and a new continuation begins.
The impact of time and space transformation not only turned the point in time when "Tokiwa Shogo" disappeared into a special time node, but also put "Tokiwa Shogo" in a special place during that time, both in the future of the old world. , and in the future superposition state of the new world.
At the same time, it is precisely because he is in such a special superposition state that "Tokiwa Shougo" said the above sentence, because he did "see" the future.
Well, it's a bit difficult to understand.
Let’s put it bluntly:
Titoku, whose time was reversed by "Jiba Shogo",
While maintaining the psychological defense line,
In the process of trying to bring down "Shougo Tokiwa" and turn back time,
Because of Tokiwa Shogo's perfect response,
Ushered in "destined" failure.
…
…
【0:00 on December 3, 2018】
"Damn King of Time——!!!"
Tid's true will returned, and he remembered everything. As soon as he opened his eyes from the seat, he smashed the armrest of the seat with an angry fist.
"I haven't lost yet! I haven't lost yet-!!"
Shouting like this, Tide's figure disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the door of the laboratory, holding the watches of Alien King and Alien Zero North in his hands.
…
In the laboratory.
In the container on one side of the singularity power conversion machine,
Suddenly, fine sand dripped out of Kuunaga Shingo's body.
…
time Tunnel.
Zero-Liner,
Yuto Sakurai and Gates have seen the light at the end.
And not far behind Zero-Liner,
Den-Liner gallops forward.
…
Desert of time.
In place of "Shougo Tokiwa", through the stable mental connection established by the Gate astronomical switch, Shogo Tokiwa started to control the body remotely with his arms open and stretched greatly. Then, he looked at Tsukuyomi beside him, his face raised. A warm smile.
"Wait a little longer and I'll be here to take you home soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a teleportation magic circle suddenly rose from the ground and engulfed him.
