In response to Whiteworth's warning, Swaruz smiled noncommittally and said no more.
And Whiteworth didn't care whether Swaruz listened to his words.
He just saw that Gates' action to save Ola ended in death again, so he opened the future notebook, wrote a line on the page, and then stepped forward towards the place where Gates died.
At the same time, time continues to move forward.
…
December 8th.
15 times.
…
December 9th.
27 times.
…
December 10th.
31 times.
…
As the time required for each of Gates' resurrections continues to shorten, the number of Gates' deaths also begins to increase rapidly.
However, no matter how many times he died, Gates never failed.
He gave his all in every fight.
But the different ability combinations of the various alien knights, coupled with Aura's extreme speed and Ur's huge strength, really made it difficult for Gates to stand up.
However, Gates is not without hope at all.
As Bai Woz said, as long as he always maintains a positive will to fight, then the power of geizrevive will be more useful to him.
Gates can really feel that as he goes through life and death again and again, there is some special force that is constantly strengthening his physique.
What is shown is that as the number of battles he fights increases, his strength and speed are getting stronger bit by bit.
…
"We can win!"
Gates did not forget to pass on this hope to Ola.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you from the whirlpool of this alien knight!"
Gates’s thoughts were indeed conveyed to Ola.
So, although Aura's situation didn't get better at all, she really began to feel that everything was getting better.
At least, it's moving in a good direction.
[I trust you. ]
Aura responded silently in her heart.
However……
…
December 11th.
127 times.
…
On this day, Gates suddenly became crazy and impatient, which Ola couldn't understand.
He seemed to have turned into a tireless fighting machine, working twenty-four hours a day without stopping. As soon as he was revived, he would immediately come over and start fighting.
Moreover, on this day, he did not use any knight watch corresponding to a different kind of knight.
[What happened? ]
Aura's heart was filled with worry, but she couldn't ask anything.
[What happened? ]
Gates seems to have become a different person, always remaining silent.
During this period, Aura's heart seemed to fall into a bottomless hole. With Gates' silence, it continued to fall in that endless dark hole.
In my ears, there was only one question that kept echoing.
[What happened? ]
…
December 12th.
Gates disappeared.
…
Gates' disappearance seems to have taken away Aura's hope for the future.
During those days and seconds of waiting, she seemed to have lost her soul. In the dark void of infinite fall, her thoughts became slower and slower.
What happened?
It doesn't matter anymore.
never mind.
So be it.
However, just when Aura was about to give up thinking completely...
"Feel sorry."
Gates' return brought Ola back to her senses.
"In the past two days, you have seen me in such a miserable state."
I saw Gates holding the Knight watch tightly in his hand, with a bitter smile on his face.
"The savior is really not that easy to be a savior."
It's so difficult to save a special person, let alone save the whole world?
"But, I've figured it out, Ola, and I won't give up."
so,
What happened?
What did Gates figure out?
Let's move forward a little bit.
…
Yesterday, December 12th.
On a bridge over a river.
Gates was holding a Wizard Knight watch, standing in front of the guardrail, following the direction of the river, and silently looking at the scenery in the distance.
The moon rises and sets, the sun rises, and the pedestrians taking a leisurely stroll appear, Gates does not move at all.
He had been watching here all night.
He looked at this peaceful and beautiful world, and in a daze, he suddenly felt that he had had a nightmare that lasted a little longer.
In that nightmare, he was alone, constantly fighting, dying, resurrecting, and fighting again.
Comparing the two, Gates couldn't help but sink in such peace and beauty, denying reality.
However, whenever he is about to sink completely, he always struggles to return to reality.
Because, he never let go of the wizard knight watch in his hand.
Finally, Gates spoke.
"White Watts!"
Without any warning, he suddenly shouted.
"Are you here? Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Whiteworth's voice sounded.
"What a joy."
Following the direction of the sound, Gates turned around, and sure enough he saw Whiteworth lying on the guardrail on the other side of the bridge, holding an open Future Note and watching.
"It turns out that the person you have been waiting for is me, my savior."
After he said this, he also turned around, walked to Gates, and continued with a smile.
"What do you want from me?"
Gates has long been accustomed to White Woz's appearance, which seems to be always there, but is actually elusive. Therefore, he is not surprised or surprised by this, he just takes it as a matter of course.
"Let me ask you something."
He got right to the point.
"When Kado Yashi introduced you to me before, he said that you come from a timeline in the future where I defeated the Demon King and became the savior..."
Gates stared into Whiteworth's eyes without blinking and asked him in a deep voice.
"I want to know, what does the world look like in that future where I'm the savior?"
Hearing this, Whiteworth smiled and told Gates.
"Nothing has changed, the future world will be the same as now..."
Saying this, Whiteworth pointed to the passers-by who were walking leisurely on the embankment road, enjoying the peace and beauty of the world, paused, and continued.
"Everything is as smooth as time stopped."
After finishing speaking, Whiteworth glanced at Gates, who continued to look toward the road downstream of the river in the direction he pointed. Then he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scenery upstream of the river.
"What else could you ask for?"
After a long silence, Gates whispered what Whiteworth had said before.
"As smooth as time stopped...?"
After hearing this, Whiteworth, who had his back to Gates, shifted his gaze to where Gates was, smiled slightly, said nothing more, and walked away directly.
Gates was left standing alone until the sun set and the moon hung high again before making any new moves.
He lowered his head and finally turned his gaze to the wizard knight watch that he had been holding tightly in his hand today but never dared to take a look at.
I saw that the wizard knight watch was covered with small cracks.
I guess it will break after one more use.
As soon as he thought of this, Gates' mind immediately couldn't help but recall Tokiwa Shogo's words before leaving.
[When it’s time to use it, don’t hesitate. 】
Tokiwa Shogo seems to have expected that as the time he leaves this world continues to extend, the knight's watch will undergo such changes.
What's ridiculous is that he actually thought that Tokiwa Shougo's instructions were unnecessary.
Facts have proved that Tokiwa Shougo was right.
But the problem is, even if Gates now knows the true meaning of Tokiwa Shogo's words, he can't make an immediate decision.
Because those knight watches are the coordinates of "going home" left by the King of Time for himself.
Could it be that in order to save Aura, he wanted to reduce the possibility of the King of Time returning?
When he thought of this, Gates found that he seemed to be unable to face Aura.
He tried hard.
He really worked hard.
But the more he wants to solve it as soon as possible, the worse he will lose.
what do I do?
——When it’s time to use it, don’t hesitate.
what do I do?
--Do not hesitate.
what do I do?
--Do not hesitate!
Every time Gates asks himself this question, Tokiwa Shogo's words of advice immediately come to mind.
Then, I don’t know when, the words of Shogo Tokiwa that echoed in Gates’s heart became:
"Gates, trust me."
…
Time returns to the present.
"...I am stupid, and he is always right, so I choose to believe him."
After saying that, Gates started the geiz knight watch and inserted the space-time drive into his waist.
【geiz! 】
Accompanied by mechanical sound effects.
【rider time! 】
Gates declared:
"This time, I will win!"
"Transform!"
