"This book records that the ordinary high school student, Tokiwa Shogo, will become the king of time in the future, the Demon King of Time.
“But before that, he must obtain all knight watches that represent all historical stages of the Heisei period.
"So far, there are still six pieces of knight's watches that Tokiwa Shogo must obtain.
“So, what is the history that he will inherit next?
"The key word is..."
At this point, it was obviously time to reveal the answer, but Woz suddenly turned around, closed the book with a "snap", and hummed as he walked away.
"Children, please be obedient~~Otherwise the ghost will come~~yo~yo~yo~yo~yoyoyoyoyoyoyo~~~"
Free and casual lyrics, brisk tunes, accompanied by flying sand and colorful aurora in the sky, continue to swing into the distance in this endless desert of time...

real world.
Swaruz, who had been exploring for a long time, finally stood in front of a residential space and frowned deeply.
Originally, this place was supposed to be the home of Kakogawa Hiryu, who was chosen by the Time Management Bureau to replace Meikoin Gates as the savior.
But now, in this world, there is no trace of Kako River's flow.
Instead, it was Meikoin Gates who returned to his destiny as the savior.
But soon, Swaruz's frown relaxed.
Maybe it's because the Meikoin Gates left too heavy a mark on the history before the change, or maybe Kakogawa Toryu doesn't have any nostalgia for the time he once lived in this world.
In short, hard work pays off.
Just now, Swaruz finally caught a trace of abnormal time fluctuations.
Originating from the flow of the Kako River, the time fluctuations in this world are recognized.
Just like all previous knightly histories that have been corrected by the Demon King, the Demon King's revision of this history is still not perfect.
Although the flaws are so small that they are almost negligible, they exist.
Since it exists, then Swaruz can use this flaw and loophole to recover all the remaining power of the alien knights!
With the corners of his mouth raised, Swaruz reached forward.
When he took back his hand, he already held an illusory alien knight watch in his hand.
Alien Zi-O watch!
Represents the most basic power of Zi-O.
As long as we have this, it means that everything is still possible!
"call--"
Swaruz breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little, and his thoughts immediately became active.
he thinks:
It would be fine if there were only those legendary knights, but now, even Kakogawa Feiryu, who was used by the Time Management Bureau to deal with the Demon King, also received corresponding preferential treatment.
The reason is that Kakogawa Hiryu did something that was approved by the Demon King.
What does this mean?
This shows that what caused those loopholes was not the Demon King’s lack of power, but rather...
"The demon king's selfish motives."
As soon as he thought of this, Swaruz's lips suddenly couldn't help but evoke a mocking smile.
"Obviously, I have perfect power, but I am always controlled by my emotions...
"Haha, you really don't want to learn any lessons, Demon King.
"In that case, let me give you another 'surprise'!"
Thinking this, Swaruz turned around and stepped into the time and space tunnel.
…
…
【Year 2009】
The scene of the bus accident.
A wormhole opened next to the unconscious Tokiwa Shogo and Meikoin Gates, and Swaruz slowly walked out of the space-time tunnel.
His eyes first fell on Tokiwa Shogo, but he quickly moved away.
In the past, Swaruz viewed Tokiwa Shogo's growth as an extension of his own plans.
Therefore, even if the factor of encountering Demon King of Time is eliminated, Swaruz will not harm Tokiwa Shogo before he awakens his ability.
And now, Tokiwa Shougo has obtained the Zi-OⅡ knight watch that unifies the outside and the inside, the past and the future.
At this time, it was even more uneconomical for Swaruz to touch the young Tokiwa Shogo.
Because that would allow the future Tokiwa Shogo to come here in an instant, replace his younger self, and have a pleasant exchange of fists and fists with Swaruz.
The kind that divides life and death.
After all, the future Tokiwa Shogo is not bound to [2068] like Enchan Tokio, unable to leave.
But the problem is that this kind of early decisive battle is meaningless to Swaruz.
There is no "new king" who can replace the King of Time. No matter whether he loses or wins, Swaruz is the one who loses.
However, the young Tokiwa Shogo cannot be moved, but the situation is different for the Meikoin Gates who have just returned to their destiny.
As long as the power of the alien Zi-O is used as the fulcrum, it will be enough to leverage the [time] of Mingguangyuan Gates, and then obtain the power of the savior that he had missed before!
"Oh, Mingguangyuan Gates..."
The corners of Swaruz's mouth curled up, and his smile looked extremely evil under the dark purple energy light.
"Your power is mine."
He looked down at the comatose young Mingguangin Gates, and stretched out his palms burning with dark purple flames.
"I'm not asking for your opinion!"
But at this moment!
"Bang bang bang!"
Gunshots rang out.
Swaruz's expression suddenly changed, and his hand that was originally stretched out immediately waved diagonally, creating a barrier to block the bullets that were fired at him.
"Who? Who is taking action!?"
Wow!
The barrier was shattered by bullets.
Swaruz felt the familiar Decade's power fluctuations that remained from the scattered fragments of the barrier, and his expression became even more ugly.
"Who are you!?"
tread! tread! tread--!
As Swaruz asked, footsteps suddenly sounded in the dark tunnel where the bus finally exploded, getting closer and closer.
A figure that made Swaruz's pupils shrink sharply, walked out of the dark shadows with an arrogant and unique step.
At the same time, the answer sounded.
"I'm just a passing Kamen Rider... remember it!"
The words fell and the footsteps stopped.
Swaruz looked at the figure whose face was clearly visible, gritted his teeth and read out the other person's name.
"Kadoya Shi!"
he said with incredible anger.
"This is impossible!
"Now, your power should have been given to the Demon King...
"How can you still have Decade's power!?"
"Really? That's what you think..."
Kadoya Shi, who had his left hand in his pocket and a cartridge gun in his right hand, heard this and replied with a smile.
"But unfortunately, my power is a little different from other knights.
"So, as long as I am still there, my power will not disappear from me."
Raising his hand and pointing the gun at Swaruz, Kadashi continued.
"I'm sorry, Swaruz, it seems that your plan is going to fail.
"Because, from now on, I will guard this time point!"
Swaruz was furious.
"Damn Decade!!!"
Leaving these words behind, Swaruz turned around bitterly and left the current time.
At this moment, he is not alone.
Kadashi didn't stop him, he just watched Swaruz's leaving figure quietly.
Seeing this, Kaito Daiki appeared quietly next to Kado Yaji, glanced at the direction Swaruz left, and asked Kado Yaji.
"Why, didn't you stop him?"
Kadashi shook his head.
"No, preventing him from leaving is not the most important thing. What is ensuring that the history of this time point is not distorted.
"What's more, he can't stop it just by saying he can stop it, so I won't bother."
"That's it..."
Haidong Dashu nodded, and then continued to ask.
"Then, will you travel again in the future?"
"certainly!"
Kadashi smiled and replied.
"However, it will be the day when the young king finally becomes a king and truly steps onto the throne."
While saying this, the masks of various legendary knights flashed across half of Kado Yashi's face.
It was as if they were agreeing with Kado Yashi's words.
Haidong Dashu, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled and said: "There's really nothing I can do about you, so I'll just wait for you here."
"Oh, right……"
Having said this, Haidong Dashu put his hand into his pocket.
"That photo has been developed."
Kaito Daiki handed the photo to Kado Yaji with a smile on his face.
"You did a pretty good job this time, Shi."
"Yeah?"
Kado Yaji, who thought Kaitou Daiki was sarcastic, raised his hand to take the photo that was handed to him with the back facing up, turned it over, and then, the expression on his face suddenly became slightly frozen.
Warm lights, smiling people.
There is no mixed light and dark, no distorted light and shadow.
What Haidong Dashu said was not ironic.
That was a really well-taken photo.
And this means...
At this thought, Kado Yashi turned his head suddenly and looked at the young Tokiwa Shogo who was still unconscious in front of him.
"Does this world accept me?"
"Yes."
As a part-time messenger, Haidong Dashu dutifully conveyed the message.
"Not only that, the young devil also asked me to say something to you——
"Merry Christmas, Kadoya-senpai."
As he finished speaking, the photo in Kadoyaji's hand shimmered, and then turned into a knight card—Zi-O's knight card!
This feeling and scene are similar to the change of photo album.
And this scene full of déjà vu made Kadoya both moved and a little bit dumbfounded.
"He...is really a 'Devil King'."
…
…
at the same time.
In the time and space tunnel.
Swaruz looked back in the direction of [2009]. He did not return to the future, but continued to go deeper into the past.
