Legendary Knights Starting with Oz

"Never mind, let's go check out the new Another Rider first."

Regedo shook off the unnecessary thoughts and left.

"Anomaly Exid? Hmm, let's upgrade it to level 99. The invincible form is a bit too overpowered. After all, it's the second boss in the beginner village, so let's go easy on it a little."

……

Meanwhile, Gates, Tsukuyomi, and Sougo entered the same school.

Two people from the future went to school in the past, well, that's a bit strange.

It's probably because they were indeed illiterate, since in the future timeline they were just pawns, helping the old demon king boost his K/D ratio, and they didn't have any schools.

Speaking of this, Regedo suddenly remembered something.

2068 years.

"Yo, Sougo, I'm here again."

Legend came up to Sougo.

"Um?"

Zhuang Wu looked at him with a puzzled expression. Then a table and two chairs appeared between the two of them, with some snacks and beer on the table.

"You came here just to drink with me?"

Zhuang Wu sat in his chair and asked with a smile.

"Pretty much. Of course, there's also something I want to ask you."

"Oh? Is there something else that made you come here specifically to ask?"

The two clinked glasses lightly.

"I just have some questions about the book Black Woz is holding."

"I didn't write it."

Zhuang Wu gently shook his head.

"Sure enough, I knew the contents of that book were a bit strange."

After it was verified, Regedo immediately understood some things.

"But you're just going to watch? Aren't you worried at all?"

"At this point in time, I haven't fully achieved the expected results, but of course, there's still a lot of room for improvement."

"However, given the current situation, it seems that this timeline does have something to look forward to," Sougo said with a soft laugh.

"Let them do whatever they want. The final result will be the same anyway. I don't care about the process, I only care about the final result."

"I understand. So, in other words, I can increase the intensity?"

"Of course, he has partners, so it might really be possible for him to achieve that goal. Correspondingly, the path to becoming king should also be more difficult. After all, as you said, strength is the only reason to be king. No matter what I want to do when I'm young, I need to have enough strength first."

"Understood. So, I'll take care of this task, right?"

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

Let's go back to 2018.

After a brief moment of thought, Regedo went straight to Woz.

"Are you... a Time Jacker?"

Woz looked at the suddenly appearing Legend without any fear, but rather with great curiosity.

"Woz, let me see your book."

Upon hearing this, Wozniak's expression stiffened slightly, then he closed the book in his hand and declined with a smile:

"Sorry, that won't do."

"Unfortunately, this is a notification, not a request."

Regedo snapped his fingers, and Woz froze in place.

"What?!"

Ignoring his shock, Regedo came up to him, took the book from his hand, and sat down next to the flower bed to read it.

Just then, Aura suddenly appeared.

"Are you secretly following me?"

Without looking up, Lei Jie asked.

"You did this, didn't you? Those otherworldly knights."

Aura looked at Regedo and asked.

"Um."

He did not deny this.

Why?

"I told you, I just wanted to make it a bit more difficult for him."

Regedo quickly flipped through the records in the "Dawn of the Demons Calendar".

Well, how should I put it?

Rather than a personal biography, it is more like a large-scale project produced by the Time Management Bureau based on the history of Oma Zi-O's birth.

Although the order in which Sougo obtained the powers of the various Riders and the exact time when Sougo became king are indeed recorded, the process is completely different.

At least, the old demon king didn't have Gates or Tsukuyomi by his side back then, nor did he have any companions.

This book clearly describes Gates and Tsukuyomi, yet it doesn't mention the Time Tribulation.

"interesting."

After reading it, Regedo looked up at Woz and returned the book to him, then restored the surrounding time to normal.

"Who exactly are you?"

Woz looked at Regedo and questioned him.

"It's not time yet, Woz. You'll know who I am when you finally make your decision."

Reggie smiled and then looked at Aura.

"I really like thigh-high heels, but don't they smell?"

"you!"

Aura looked at the unserious man in front of her, and every time she was about to ask him a question, she was silenced.

"Phew—I just wanted to ask, what exactly are you trying to achieve by doing this?"

"That's not something you should be thinking about."

"If you want to stop Zi-O from becoming Oma Zi-O, you can team up with Swartz."

Aura spoke again.

"Pfft—"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ora, you're so adorably silly."

Reggie laughed at her words.

"What do you mean?"

"No one wants Sougo to become Oma Zi-O more than Swartz."

"What did you say? How is that possible? He's been creating Another Riders all along, trying to use them to replace Zi-O and become the true king."

Aura expressed disbelief.

"So, you're adorably silly."

Reggie rose and came to her, reaching out to lift the red feather ornament behind her ear, and said with a smile:

"You really think Swartz is one of your comrades?"

"Your observation skills have always been very sharp. I don't believe you couldn't notice Swartz's dominance over you and Ul. Didn't you ever wonder why?"

Aura didn't answer, but just looked at him quietly.

"The reason for this is that you were originally Swartz's pawns. The reason you have these abilities now is because Swartz gave them to you. This power is nothing to him, but it is very precious to you. It may seem that your abilities are the same, but in reality, he can take back the power within you at any time, and he can also stop you at any time."

"How is this possible? I clearly paused him before." Aura's face was full of doubt.

"There's something called acting, baby."

"The Time Jackers were wiped out by Oma Zi-O long ago. Only a very few escaped, and Swartz was one of them."

"He has witnessed the power of Oma Zi-O firsthand, the power to destroy and create time and space. Therefore, his desire is actually to rebuild his home with the help of Oma Zi-O's power."

"You and Ul's daily work creating Another Riders is essentially helping Sougo get closer to becoming Oma Zi-O faster. When he becomes king, Swartz will only need to absorb a small portion of Oma Zi-O's power to achieve his goal."

"As for whether you and Ur live or die, he won't care."

Upon hearing Regedo's words, Aura's pupils dilated in shock. She found it hard to believe that her so-called "companion" was hiding such a deep secret.

"I need time to verify."

After listening, Aura pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"It doesn't matter, just remember to report the Another Riders to me."

Regedo simply waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all.
