The consciousness was silent, and he was sitting on the ground with his head bowed, and his body was bound by iron ropes.
Deneb, who guards the alien Zero North.
And Sakurai Yuto, who looked tired but insisted on standing.
This is what Tokiwa Shogo saw when he just walked out of the teleportation magic circle.
"Demon King?"
Seeing Tokiwa Shogo, Sakurai Yuto was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"It's me...should I say first meeting? Senior Zero North."
Tokiwa Shougo looked at Sakurai Yuto and replied.
He wanted to act a little more relaxed, but when he thought about what he was going to do later, his expression turned serious involuntarily.
Sakurai Yuto felt the atmosphere gradually becoming tense and heavy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As a senior, he was already ashamed enough to have made such a choice, so at least now...
[...Let me start with this. ]
Thinking like this, Sakurai Yuto went straight to the point and said:
"I've already heard Woz say this... I'm sorry, I still can't do anything and let you eliminate her, so I'm going to use that last card here for her."
The "she" here refers to Hana, the shapeshifter of the alien Zero North.
That's right, Tokiwa Shougo is here to eliminate the alien Zeronos.
And eliminating the alien Zero North means killing Hana.
This is because the Alien Zero North Watch itself has the price of devouring the host's [time], and the Alien Zero North Watch placed in Hana's body was in a special state of damage from the beginning, which resulted in Hana's life. When Alien Zero North experienced the process from "death" to "resurrection" for the first time, it was completely bound to the Alien Zero North watch...
Regarding this, even Tokiwa Shogo cannot change this.
Just like what he once did to the Alien Wizard... It doesn't matter who the Alien Knight's transformer is or what his character is, but if Tokiwa Shougo still wants to continue to define history by his own standards, then, He must eliminate the alien knights who are not recognized by the main timeline and correct history.
This is a great righteousness, and it is also his royal way.
And the current situation is...
Sakurai Yuto admitted that the alien Zero North must be eliminated as an alien knight, but he still chose... to stand up and become the alien Zero North, no, to become Hana - Sakurai Hana's last A line of defense.
Thinking of this, Tokiwa Shougo lowered his eyes and said softly: "Give up, senior, you can't stop me."
Sakurai Yuto smiled and said: "I know, but it is precisely because of this that I can make this choice so easily... I'm sorry, Tokio, as a senior, I have done such a shameful thing."
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shougo was silent for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath, exhaled it, and said with a smile:
"What are you talking about? Senior.
"If a father's desire to protect his daughter can be considered embarrassing, then the world has stopped praising family affection long ago.
"not to mention……"
Just like what Sakurai Yuto said just now, he made this choice so easily after knowing that his actions would not have any bad impact on the movement of time.
There is no need to imagine "what ifs" and "what ifs", it is meaningless and unnecessary.
Because the current situation is like this, and Sakurai Yuto's peaceful mentality at this time is enough to explain everything.
That is, Sakurai Yuto felt a little sorry for Tokiwa Shogo.
Because Sakurai Yuto believes that by doing this, he is actually passing on the "responsibility" to Tokiwa Shogo, who is the junior of Kamen Rider.
Otherwise, Sakurai Yuto would not use "shameful" to describe his choice at this time.
It's just that Tokiwa Shogo didn't let Sakurai Yuto get his wish... He praised Sakurai Yuto's choice.
In Tokiwa Shogo's view, Sakurai Yuto has already paid enough to protect the movement of time.
And he is just helping his senior shoulder the "responsibility" so that he can complete the final battle without any burden. Whether he is a junior of Kamen Rider or the king of time in the future, this is what he should do. .
Tokiwa Shougo's feelings were successfully passed on to Sakurai Yuto, which made Sakurai Yuto burst into laughter after being stunned for a moment.
"Haha - that's right, I understand."
With a brisk smile, Sakurai Yuto took out the Zeronos belt and put it on his waist.
Then he took out the last black and red card that represented his existence and inserted it into the buckle of Zero North's belt.
This time, there was no heaviness in his movements, but seemed very relaxed.
【ZeroForm (zero form)! 】
Wearing the rust red Zero North armor, Sakurai Yuto looked at Tokiwa Shogo and said:
"Transform...as I said before, you...didn't do anything wrong!"
"Well, don't worry about me, senior..."
Tokiwa Shougo smiled and took out the Zi-O Knight Watch and the Zero North Knight Watch, turned the dial, started it, and inserted the space-time drive.
"...I am the Demon King."
With the last words of Tokiwa Shogo, the main body of the rotating space-time driver transformed.
【RiderTime (Rider Time)! 】
【KamenRiderZi-O! 】
【ArmorTime (Armor Time)! 】
【AltairForm (Altair form)! Zeronos! 】
Wearing the armor, Tokiwa Shougo declared: "Speaking of which, I will not show mercy!"
"Just what I wanted!"
Sakurai Yuto responded loudly, looking towards Deneb.
Needless to say, Deneb made its choice from the beginning.
He instantly turned into a weapon, the Deneb Destruction Gun, and fell into the hands of Yuuto Sakurai, who had transformed into Zero North.
Immediately, Tokiwa Shogo and Sakurai Yuto rushed towards each other at the same time.
"when!"
The Zero Cleaver Saber in Tokiwa Shogo's hand clashed with the Deneb Destruction Gun in Sakurai Yuto's hand.
Then, Sakurai Yuto shot at close range without hesitation, forcing Tokiwa Shogo to dodge and retreat.
While retreating, the Zero Cleaver in Tokiwa Shougo's hand reorganized into a crossbow and aimed at Zero North unceremoniously...
…
…
After a while, the fighting stopped and everything settled.
Deneb drove the Zero-Liner alone through the wormhole and left.
Tokiwa Shougo, holding the Zero North Knight watch that had started to glow, stood silently for a moment, and was suddenly swallowed up by a time magic circle.
Then, time and space here began to transform.
Whether it was this place or the previous area of Tid's castle ruins, the wounds on the earth began to disappear quickly.
At the other end of this broken timeline, Tokiwa Shougo's body began the project to continue the timeline of this world...
As the "continuation" material, it is the spiritual world of "Tokiwa Shogo", the inner world that has been continuously constructed and perfected through [time] in hundreds of reincarnations.
Of course, this alone cannot directly restore this already precarious timeline to a healthy state.
But, at least, it can escape from the danger of collapse at any time.
