After all, I came here as soon as I got the information from Catherine, risking almost being slapped like a bug by the protector of this universe series "Queen of Light". What Gagu wants is what the "ultimate darkness" represents, or the power contained in it.
But after just fighting, and now standing face to face again, Gagu's keen organs and sixth sense can vaguely feel something from Ash, but...
Not enough to call it "evil".
As a result, not to mention whether the Gegel game that he, the referee, player, and organizer jointly contracted has any meaning. Looking at the current situation, a meaningless battle may even cost more than the reward...
His attention turned back to the eyes he was looking at. There was no doubt that he was looking at someone with a look on his face. Could it be that he felt that he was not interested in fighting with me and needed to be stimulated?
"Why don't you keep coming to kill me?"
Ash doesn't hate having conversations with his opponent in battle. After all, this is a good opportunity to communicate and feel the opponent's will, which makes him excited too! But Ash's voice is full of impatience when he says this. Firstly, the sudden pause cannot be considered a battle at all, and secondly...
Not to mention the Pretty Cures who were more and more pleasing to him no matter how he looked at him, he hated the man in front of him even more than those stupid and bad Tragedy Kingdom cadres.
Don't think that I will let go of that prying, greedy gaze.
"Why... Why, you always have to reason with others when you quarrel?"
Ash remained silent, his fingers already pressed on the pages of [Jaaku Dragon] in his pocket.
"People like you and me shouldn't use this place all the time. It's too boring." The finger that tapped his forehead turned and pointed at Ash's chest. "It's better to use this place more. It's enough to think about your own affairs, things that are just to satisfy yourself here, grudges and grudges."
Just like, the other one you told me.
"Brother, I thought about it." He dropped the extinguished cigarette butt to his feet, raised his feet and crushed it into fine ash. "Although at first I thought I would just kill you, now I think I don't have to do that."
Gagu is indeed a member of the Gurongi family. He has all the characteristics of Gurongi, including being weird, cruel, bloodthirsty, ignoring life, and loving fighting.
But he is also nothing like a real Gurongi. He is not like other tribesmen who regard "those things" as more important than life.
He actually wanted something else.
"Where's the request?"
The Dark Moon Sword held in the backhand is hidden in the sleeve, and the perfect disguise cannot be seen even on the outside.
In order to get as many words as possible out of this guy who doesn't know how to find him, Ash is still patiently testing him... and he hasn't found anything, but Ash almost doesn't want to test anymore.
However, try your best to ensure that the battlefield is not expanded but to pursue killing with one blow. Hey, it depends on who you are targeting. There must be a limit to being difficult!
"I heard you - someone said that you once did something outrageous to a "precure" like that in other worlds. Now, I think it's almost okay if you do it again."
The man's expression didn't change much, but Gagu felt that the slightly cold air around him had dropped a few degrees.
His words made Ash even more angry now. After all, that kind of game played on people's hearts. After being hit hard by the Iron Fist Goddess in the previous world, Ash had decided not to repeat such a mistake, so if someone dared to play it on his head, he couldn't bear it.
"I see that you are having a lot of fun with them, so don't you want to take action?" Gagu couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of the scene Piero had shown him while he was hiding in his arms. "But think about it carefully. If you can have so much fun just playing house with them, wouldn't you be able to have even more fun if you use them as toys?"
"You are too self-righteous, including what you think."
"No, no, no, brother, you are the one who thought wrong, right? I think, brother, you and they are not companions at all, but are the same kind as me. Light and darkness are completely opposite existences. You don't really think that the two can be compatible, do you?"
As their eyes met, Ash saw the shadows of many people in Gagu's cloudy, wine-like eyes. "Your eyes seem to be telling me: Exciting and life-threatening things can make your dreams feel beautiful and fulfilling. It just so happens that I also have dreams, and I have a way to prevent you from being bored."
The person who has the same face as this guy said that he wants "Ash" to be moved and painful, but I just want him to be more stimulated and feel "happy". The darkness I want him to have is not an adjective. If he can't show it well, how can I get it?
"If you agree, in the early hours of Friday morning, at the warehouse at the end of the farthest street -"
"Brush—!"
The purple sword light reaching the sky flew to a place higher than the waves. In front of Ash's sword-drawing slash, the rocks were split into two along the path of the sword's swing. After saying so much, Gagu never relaxed his vigilance and touched his blood-stained neck. He almost died from the blow just now.
"My place has just healed recently... so the negotiation has broken down?"
"[Jaou Read] (Guidance of the Evil King)!"
"I said it from the beginning." [Jaaku Dragon] scratched Dark Sword and inserted it into the crack in front of him with one hand. Ash inserted the thick fantasy book into the belt buckle. "As Gurongi, you talk too much."
"You must be one of those people who didn't even have a chance in the closed beta and were eliminated, right?" This time it was Ash's turn to laugh at him with a mocking voice. "Gurongi actually fell to lying about a matter like changing your rank. You really have fallen."
"You're right, I was indeed eliminated at the beginning." Gagu admitted honestly, and his eyes swept over the glowing holy sword in Ash's hand and the fantasy book on his belt that kept the sound on standby with interest. "So this is Kamen Rider? So noisy."
"But you were wrong about one thing. I didn't lie about my rank."
Then, Ash saw Gagu put the four fingers of his open left hand together and then put his backhand on his waist.
"As for how I did it, as a reward, I'll let you see it now."
Without a smooth transformation, Ash, who had arrived before, aimed the holy sword burning with purple fire at his head and chopped it off! Just hearing the sound of "clang" between metal clashes, Gagu raised his right wrist above his head to block the continuous cutting of the holy sword, and the originally thick arm was now covered by a layer of red-gold arm armor with barbs.
Therefore, Ash, who had always maintained a dead face in the face of the smelly garbage dump since seeing this Gagu, finally had a violent expression fluctuation on his face for the first time.
"You——"
On Gagu's waist where the electric light flashed, a silver-white belt covered with ferocious alien fangs emerged from under his clothes. The blood-red "Aguru" spirit stone in the center of the silver-white belt reflected the extremely transparent surface of Ash's shocked expression.
"You... nmd...!"
Why!?
"You are Gurongi!"
Ash, who cursed angrily, felt as if a big truck from another world was coming towards him. A huge force from the sword completely lifted Ash's whole body away. The strange shaking made his holy sword almost come out of his hands. When he rolled to the ground and stepped on the stone surface and slid back several meters, Ash's arms showed a slightly twisted posture.
"Yeah, so what, hahahahaha!" Very satisfied with Ash's expression as if he was a card player at this moment, Gagu couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing. "Hey, hey, hey, you know our story very well, so don't be so surprised. After all, it doesn't matter whether it's 'Kidaru' or 'Aguru'."
"The two are essentially the same thing. Whether it's Kuuga or Gurongi, they're essentially the same."
Taking in all the incredible emotions in those eyes, Gagu remembered his past self, which was always like this.
Before my transformation, I was indeed just a weak Gurongi member of the "Zi" group, and my way of thinking was different from those of the clansmen. As a result, I was deprived of the qualifications of "Gegel" without any accident. Facing the original Linto, I didn't even resist, so I was sealed away.
But it was such a small person that I was liberated from the seal in advance by Catherine who came from another world. Not only did she not have a bad feeling towards me Gurongi, she even taught and encouraged me to enlighten me about my confusion, and she was even willing to rely on me... No, I should be relying on her, after all, it was she who saved me!
Later, I actually found another "Aguru" belt from another ruins! In order to help Catherine who was in need of strength at that time, after I put it on, it miraculously merged Aguru with my own Kidron Spirit Stone!
So I completed the hunt for all Linto! Under the baptism of blood and smoke, those other tribesmen who were still in the seal also turned into the energy of my belt. After constantly devouring the spirit stones, I gained the power and rank I have today!
Now I have even crossed the limit of Aguru transformation and have not turned into a mindless rampaging monster. Am I not qualified?!
"Same... ah, after all, Kamen Rider are actually the same."
Quickly calming down the mood that was more turbulent than the waves around him, and preventing himself from thinking about anything else, the murderous intent in Ash's expression emerged as he raised the sword from the ground with both hands.
"But!"
Thinking of the figure who was now blurry but still gave him a thumbs up, and thought of the time he was knocked down by him but still risked his own life to save his life, murderous intent and anger began to burn more and more.
"To me, it's different! You're so shameless and you're so disrespectful, so I'm not comparing you to others without permission!"
Gagu felt excited in his heart.
Yes, that's right! It's that look, that will to kill and take away other people's lives no matter what, that's why I say that playing house between you and them is harmful to you - I feel it, the ultimate darkness I want! Feel it!
Next, we need to add more firewood!
"You seem to be talking about Kamen Rider, right? Well, then I will be Kamen Rider Kuuga now." Seeing Ash's face getting darker and darker, Gagu's left hand pressed the pressure sensing component on the waist.
"Is that what you said? Henshin."
"Hen——" Ash held the sword in his hand tighter, as if the sword was about to swing at his opponent at the next moment and hit the belt buckle hard. "Shin——!"
Dark Sword Tsukuyomi's sword tip cut through the air, pierced the enemy's vital point, and hit the sword with an extremely powerful and swift punch. When the two forces converged, a loud noise that instantly flattened the surrounding waves sounded the clarion call for this fierce competition.
Another punch hit the sword and shook the blade away. Ash's head was thrown back high, and the next second the spiked knee rushed towards the chin. Ash turned around and used Tieshan's technique, using his shoulders to slam his whole body weight into Gagu's chest. However, he was knocked away by the same movement in return, sparking a series of sparks on the ground.
Now in front of Ash is a crimson humanoid biochemical stag beet that is more ferocious and twisted than in memory. Although it has the same vicious source of mutation, at least Rider in memory looks ferocious and terrifying, but the smile on his face has never been so malicious.
Okay, I'm very happy to clean up the portal!
His thumb brushed the place where the nosebleed was flowing under the mask, and Ash rushed forward angrily again.
Chapter 169 You saved a life, Ash. (5K chapters)
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
A large passenger ship drove slowly past the rocky beach, with water splashing beside it. The long whistle sounded like a spectacular symphony, making a deep roar.
This was originally just a normal passenger ship heading to the destination terminal via Nanairogaoka City, but at this time the passengers holding on to the railings smelled a hint of uneasiness.
Some people who are familiar with this area saw something different from the iconic stone pile. An extremely deep ravine appeared in the center of the originally empty pile of stones. The ravine illuminated by the setting sun reflected the extremely sharp inner wall of the gap, as if something terrible had passed through it.
It is really hard to imagine that such a smooth inner wall is the result of wave erosion, but if this is man-made, how sharp and huge is the force? While a certain passenger was guessing like this, the shock coming from the ship caused the whole ship to shake violently, almost causing him to fall into the water.
"What's wrong, what's wrong!"
In the central cabin where the crowd gathered, those with sharp eyes saw the steel deck that had been smashed through above their heads. The hole pointed directly at the bottom was the two humanoid bodies that had torn open the ship's shell like a can and smashed through it. They were standing up slowly from the smoke splashed by the wreckage of the deck.
On one side is a long sword, and his whole body is covered with armor Rider made of dragon and gold. He is holding the sword to throw off the debris on his back. Rider The aura of the light flashing across the red eyepiece turned into a physical sense of oppression. Whether they were concerned, wanted to blame, or came to inquire, they were held in place by this oppression that rejected people thousands of miles away. Passengers who knew each other couldn't help but hold the hands of their companions, as if they wanted to share this timidity.
But the other humanoid creature who casually dusted himself off and stood up amidst a burst of broken bones was... a monster! There is no doubt that it is a monster! The mere existence of standing there would break the courage and ordinary heart of ordinary people, and start running away screaming at all costs.
"Monster ah ah -"
I don't know who shouted this, the passengers who were originally frozen in place by this change instantly exploded. The screams spread the fear to the maximum extent. All the people who could still move rushed madly in the opposite direction. The originally spacious cabin instantly became overcrowded.
"Tsk!" Ash, who came in with a more embarrassed appearance, let out a very clear sound of displeasure. The original self tried to lead this guy to the no-man's land with the risk of accidentally getting into the traffic accident textbook, but by coincidence, such a ship full of passengers happened to pass by. What is this? Tianliang? Black God does not exist in this world!
"Are you worried about these Linto? Well, you can rest assured about this." Ash's concerns can be seen at a glance. In order to make his opponent relax, he also deliberately raised his hand to wave at the people who were gathering in front of the safety door to escape. "Don't worry, even I won't attack these Linto who have no power. After all, the weak are not qualified to be fertilizers, but -"
A ferocious sound of metal fatigue came from under the arched feet. The flying debris from the soles of the feet penetrated the knee of an unlucky guy behind him. At the same time, the straight fist with the sharp claws in the palm was buried into Ash's chest like a hammer.
"It's just that if you die just by looking at it, you can't blame me, right?"
The sword blade that was blocked in front of his chest at the last moment allowed Ash to block the fatal blow. In exchange, his weight of about two hundred and twenty pounds and the Evil King Dragon protective suit he was wearing were lifted off the ground with a deliberate blow. The increasingly horrified expressions of the passers-by behind him were getting closer and closer.
If the opponent uses energy to attack, then Evil King Dragon's darkness and cloak, which specializes in swallowing energy, can suppress the opponent in a targeted manner. In the battle with the Tragedy Kingdom and in the discussions with Pretty Cure, he often took advantage of this characteristic, but now the result of facing such a complete physics system output is really not good-looking!
The holy sword blocked the fist, but the impact on the fist could not be completely removed. Of course, with the protection of the Evil King Dragon armor, it was only a scratch at this level, but the fate of the poor passers-by behind him was...
"Zira!"
Dark Sword nimbly followed the man's wrist and jumped onto the palm of his hand. He slammed his backhand against the iron wall beside him and inserted the sword into it. The holy sword drew an extremely piercing scream at his side. At the same time, Ash, who had his feet on the ground again, finally stopped in front of them with frightened faces.
Is this swordsman... saving us?! Just when someone in the crowd was shocked and guessed this, the pair of sharp red lights that turned around suddenly threatened to enter!
"Are those still standing here waiting to die? Then I will kill you first, and then him!"
"No, don't! Aieeeee!"
Ash sighed silently to the passers-by who were running away faster due to incontinence. Having traveled to so many worlds, he was theoretically an all-rounder with a wealth of knowledge, but even an all-rounder would have a side that he was not good at. Rescuing innocent people had always been something he was not good at in the past.
"..." He took out Closed Gear Gun and was about to call out GOGOV or the police team to help these frantically escaping passengers, but then he remembered that the last bit of Sentai Gear's energy had been consumed by the previous GokaiOh's meteorite-pushing battle.
"You are so full of love for Master Princess that I am still thinking about her now."
This is not okay Ash, if you always miss the past, you won't be able to move on.
Along the other end of the crack cut by the holy sword, water waves rushed in, constantly splashing on Ash and Gagu.
"Oh, do you want to use a gun?" Gagu, with his arms folded, just watched Ash's "vicious threat" to these people, and even wanted to clap in celebration. "Okay, I don't hate it."
Ash and Gagu seem to be facing each other, but in fact this distance will be shortened to enough to engage the enemy in less than a second. So Ash knew very well that if he wanted to draw his gun now, he would have to move and react faster.
Let yourself ignore the screams from people as much as possible, just raise the gun and trigger the flight. Now there is no need to aim at this distance!
"Da da da da da—!"
A series of long rapid fires poured out from the barrel of the revolver with lingering smoke. In front of him, Gagu opened his palm, raised his hand and pointed it in the direction of Ash and slapped it. The projectile turned 360° and returned to the original path.
Explosive gunshots exploded from Evil King Dragon's spark-splattered armor. Gagu stepped forward step by step and was knocked to the ground Ash.
"You were pretty good at the beginning. Originally, I thought you would get stronger as you fight. What's going on now? Are you getting weaker? Is that so?"
After stepping through the water waves that reached his ankles, he casually broke off the broken window hammer on the wall and turned it into a twisted Pegasus crossbow. However, he did not aim at Ash on the ground, but at the person behind him.
"Really? I understand, this is the help you need."
After cocking the crossbow's string, Kuuga's visor made of fangs raised a slight arc and pulled the trigger.
Ash doesn't care much about passersby other than the people he pays attention to. He is not the kind of good guy who would risk his life to save anyone no matter who they are.
However, the reason why these passers-by are suffering such unreasonable disasters now is entirely because of his fight with this bastard Kuuga weirdo, and the reason why they scream in shame is because he has not killed him yet.
If the ship sank in a storm and all the crew were killed, then Ash would at most feel that they were miserable, and would not feel that he had any problem at all.
But if they die in front of him now, there is no doubt that it is his responsibility. He can't lie to anyone, can he? So...
"Did I allow it?!"
You want me to carry the value of your lives as passers-by, what a joke, do you have such qualifications!
