Kamen Rider Evolution

The constantly vibrating light arrows began to shake unnaturally the moment they converged and appeared, and the explosive energy had become somewhat shapeless. Even the Genesis Drive with the highest data could not bear the surging power.

"I hope you can survive this blow!" Zhan Ji Lingma gritted his teeth and let go of his hand in extreme anger.

The light arrow, which was several times more powerful than Kuzunoha Kota's, rushed towards Katsudoki Zangetsu with the goal of destroying everything.

The light arrow disappeared halfway the moment it was shot out, leaving only a hazy golden curtain. This arrow was enough to defeat any owner of the Genesis Drive.

Zhan Ji Lingma ignored Wu Dao Gui Hu who was half-kneeling on the ground, and did not consider whether he could still dodge as he was now exhausted. He had only one goal in his mind, which was to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Jiang Xia!

This attack was enough to penetrate all the defense facilities of the World Tree Defense Group, including those watermelon robots with full defense, but something happened that surprised Zhan Ji Lingma. When facing this attack, Jiang Xia actually raised his empty right hand, while his left hand was pressing down on Wu Dao Guihu to limit his attack.

Could it be that he is summoning some other weapon? When Zhan Ji Ling Ma saw the thing that Jiang Xia was holding in the void, he suddenly remembered that both the Wushuang Saber and the DJ Gun were summoned by Sheng Hong Zhan Yue in the void.

At this moment, Zhan Ji Lingma thought of Jiang Xia summoning the melon shield. Only the melon shield could maximize the defense. However, even the melon shield might still be useless. The defense ability of the shield has an upper limit, and it is impossible to block the fatal blow of the lemon armor.

Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi, who gave the warning, were unable to provide any help. By the time they noticed the attack and gave the warning, the golden light had already arrived, and they could only watch Jiang Xia being enveloped by the golden light.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of shattering in the air, and the people around seemed to have lost their voices at this moment. They were so shocked that they could not show any expression at all.

Jiang Xia raised his right hand. He did not summon a melon shield for defense as Zhan Ji Lingma had imagined. Instead, he gently stretched his hand into the hazy light and gently clenched it.

He caught the light arrow with violent energy fluctuations in his palm. The light arrow trembled desperately, but at this moment, it seemed that it had even been deprived of the right to explode.

Jiang Xia only exerted a little force, and the arrow originally made of light actually had several cracks. As the cracks became more and more, the sound like glass breaking continued.

In the end, he grabbed it and exploded it with his bare hands. Part of the blast hit Wu Dao Guihu, while the other part was sent back to Zhan Ji Lingma.

"boom!"

Wudao Guihu and Zhan Ji Lingma were hit by such an impact again. The armor on their bodies could no longer hold on and they canceled their transformation. They rolled on the ground in embarrassment for a few rounds.

Although Wudao Guihu was exhausted, he still stood up shakily, and his suit was already tattered.

Even in the face of such a desperate situation, he would not give up. Wu Daoguihu walked up to Jiang Xia step by step, put his hand on Katsuoki Zangetsu's shoulder, and roared:

"Since you destroyed the scalar system of the World Tree, it means you know what the World Tree is doing. If you are really a human, please tell me where we should go? You said I was a good person, but you wanted to stop me from doing what I did. Why?!"

Even at this time, Wu Daoguihu still wanted to get the way to save humanity from Jiang Xia.

Since he can transcend, then the rest of humanity can naturally do so as well.

"Because your method is wrong. The way to save mankind is to challenge that forest, not this absurd product like the Ark Project. Some things cannot be solved by sacrifice alone."

Jiang Xia looked at the man in front of him: "No one has the right to make sacrifices for others. If someone asks you to sacrifice for the overall situation, then you are not in this overall situation, let alone those who know nothing. If there really is a world that needs to sacrifice population to survive, the best way is to concentrate the power you have to fight the world. Human beings have always done this on this long road of evolution. No matter how many people are sacrificed, no matter how difficult the decision is, we must choose to continue fighting, because this is the essence of human beings. If you escape, you will perish one day, but if you fight, you still have a chance."

After hearing Jiang Xia's words, Wu Daoguihu slowly loosened his hand. He understood what Jiang Xia meant. In fact, they had always held the way to save mankind in their hands, and that was that forest.

In other words, there is something or some method in that forest that can save humanity, and it is only possible after a desperate battle.

"Did you also gain the power through fighting?" asked Guihu Wudao.

"Of course, as long as you keep going on the path of evolution, you will understand that as long as you are still alive, the so-called desperate situation never exists. It is you who put your heart in an airtight room." Jiang Xia said, "So now I never have any dilemma options. If someone gives me the trolley problem now, I will destroy the trolley and kill the person who gave the problem. The same goes if the options are expanded to the whole world."

"..."

When Guihu Wudao heard these murderous words, he was silent for a moment, then he sighed as if relaxed, and his whole body seemed to be relieved of some burden.

He asked the sober Minato Yoko to support the unconscious Zhan Ji Lingma, and finally waved to Xue Te, indicating to retreat.

After seeing Jiang Xia turning his gaze towards him, Xue Te didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that this guy would kill them right there.

He tensed his nerves, moved his body little by little, and finally left in a flash.

"Impossible! Zangetsu Shin is actually my brother!"

Before Wu Daoming Mitsumi had recovered from the surprise of his attack being completely blocked, he saw his brother Wu Daoguitora.

He didn't hear clearly what they said at all. The moment Zangetsu Shin removed his armor, his mind went blank and he stood there in a daze.

Although he knew that his brother was the supervisor of the World Tree, he never associated Wudao Guihu with the Armored Knight for even a moment. But when he recalled carefully, he found that all the details and tone of voice of Zangetsu Shin were exactly the same as his brother's, but he didn't notice it at all.

"My brother probably hasn't realized that I'm Kamen Rider Ryugen yet." Mitsumasa Wudao thought to himself as he looked at the ragged Takatora Wudao.

"Let's go. No one will stop us now." Jiang Xia said to Kuzuya Kota and then turned to look at Wu Daoming, "Do you choose to go back to the Gaim team with us, or..."

He made it very clear whether he should confess his identity to Wudao Guihu now and go back to the World Tree Group with him, or leave together.

"Go back to the Gaim Team." Mitsumi Wudao said softly, looking at his brother's back.

He would be going home in the evening anyway, so it would be better to figure out what the current situation was all about.

About the World Tree, about saving humanity, about the forest, and also, about why Jiang Xia was called a non-human.

Chapter 466 Method

One o'clock in the afternoon, at the secret base of the Gaim Team.

A large blackboard was placed horizontally on the wall that was painted with all kinds of colors. Jiang Xia was walking back and forth under the blackboard, holding a thin stick.

And right opposite the blackboard, Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumasa were sitting obediently on the benches, just like students listening to a lecture, and Jiang Xia was the teacher holding a pointer.

Now there are only three of them in this huge warehouse.

Jiang Xia had already told Gao Siwu the general situation through the phone, saying that he and Wu Daoguang had indeed found the missing Ge Ye Hongta, and that he was fine, but he had not been home for several days because he was obsessed with playing video games and had no time to contact Ge Yejing.

Now that I've found myself, I'm fine, just a little tired.

Mitsumi Wudao still remembers that when Jiang Xia was telling lies without changing his expression, he was trying hard to cover the mouth of Kota Kuzawa, because his brother Kota was really outspoken and almost told the real situation to Mai Takashi.

It is better not to tell other members of the Gaim Team such heavy news before things are fully clarified.

Mitsumasa Wudao rode on Kota Kuzuba's body, covering his mouth with one hand and blocking his resisting hands with the other hand. His behavior was quite bullying and full of coercion, and the person under him could only hum.

While resisting Wu Daoming, Kuzuye Kota looked at Jiang Xia who was talking to Takashi Mai on the phone with despair on his face, and a trace of crystal tears flashed in the corner of his eyes.

Who understands? He doesn't want to leak the secret, he just wants Jiang Xia to come up with another reason.

If his sister knew that he hadn't come home or answered the phone for three days in a row because he was playing video games, causing her to worry for nothing, he would definitely die, and it would be a very ugly death.

While Jiang Xia was chatting with Gao Siwu, he watched the two people entangled with each other out of the corner of his eye. After realizing that they were just joking, he ignored them.

Kuzuya Kota knew in his heart that he couldn't involve anyone else in the fact that he was secretly imprisoned by the World Tree.

The so-called situations of being pressed under the body and only being able to make whimpering sounds were just a kind of playfulness after a long separation. As for the reason for the disappearance, you can just find an acceptable reason to reassure your sister.

As for why he was crying, it was because he really loved playing games. My sister would definitely believe this reason.

This guy Jiang Xia made up lies that sounded like the truth.

But in the end, it was Gao Siwu who heard the news that Ge Ye Kota had been playing games for three days without sleep, and she said she would definitely pass it on to Sister Ge Ye.

Playing aside, it is time to formally share information, so after the fun, Kuzuya Kota moved the blackboard over, Wu Daoguang actually moved the small stool, and Jiang Xia just pulled a stick from the roadside to use as a teaching stick.

"Now let me tell you the truth about the Helheim Forest and the World Tree Group that you have always been concerned about." Jiang Xia used the wooden stick in his hand as a crutch and tapped the ground lightly.

Fluorescent blue waves enveloped the entire garage along with the wooden stick, interweaving into a fine grid-like mesh during the transformation process.

As the blue fine net was generated, the surrounding walls and objects began to collapse, and the familiar Gaim Team garage was constantly reshaped as it disappeared.

Kuzuya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi suddenly stood up from their seats. They had never seen such a shocking scene before. They were so surprised that they were speechless and could only stare at the scene in front of them in a daze.

The scene suddenly changed, and they felt that they were standing on both sides of an empty corridor, surrounded by transparent glass and a magnificent semi-ellipsoidal dome. Looking down along the railings of the corridor, they could see people walking back and forth like black dots.

"This is the World Tree Group, we are back!" Wu Daoguang was shocked.

This was a corridor in the upper floors of the World Tree Group. He would not make a mistake because he had just left here. He could even recall how he hid behind the wall and carefully avoided being discovered by the security guards.

And when Kuzuya Kota stretched out his hand, what touched his palm was the cool feeling of the white tiles.

That's right, this is real, this is not some 3D projection, they are really back.

Before Mitsumasa Wudao and Kota Kuzuba could ask Jiang Xia any questions, the door on the inside of the corridor suddenly opened with a "click" and a tall figure appeared right in front of Mitsumasa Wudao.

He was a neat and tidy man with black hair, wearing a suit and tie, with an indifferent face. Behind him was a man wearing a white coat and holding a report in his hand.

"Brother!" When Wu Daoguang saw Wu Daoguihu directly hitting him in the face, he almost screamed out of fear.

But when he habitually responded to Takatora Wudao's rebuke, his body passed through Takatora Wudao without any hindrance, as if passing through a ghost.

"The Wudao Guihu and Sengoku Lingma here are just projections of their memories. They have no entity. Just follow them and you will get all the answers."

Jiang Xia's arm also passed through the two of them. "Although we can touch objects, it's just that our five senses are disturbed. It's like a dream."

The memories here come from the earth. This is indeed a real scene that happened. The sun is shining brightly, and it is a day that couldn’t be more ordinary.

"The Ark Project has been roughly prepared, Guihu. With the influence of the World Tree Group in the world, it is easy to manipulate food, medical care, and water sources."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma waved the report in his hand. "With just a flick of the finger, the number of humans will drop drastically in the next ten years. After all, these things are necessities for humans. By then, even if the earth is completely destroyed, humans will be able to survive."

"I understand. Let's not worry about that for now. How is the research on the fruit of the Helheim Forest going?" said Takatora Wudao indifferently.

"It's still the same. There is no progress. In a short period of time, many people have mistakenly entered the cracks and entered the Helheim Forest. Those who eat the fruit will eventually become aliens." Sengoku Lingma shrugged and said indifferently, "It seems that humans can only rely on the Sengoku Driver to survive now."

"I understand. Where is the record of this experiment?" After hearing the news, Wu Daoguihu's eyes dimmed slightly, but immediately returned to his expressionless icy face.

"Right in the lab, I didn't expect you would be interested in experiments. That's right, if it succeeds this time it will be a great discovery." Zhan Ji Lingma smiled, shook his drooping hair, and strode forward, "Come with me."

"Follow him, and don't ask any questions for now." Jiang Xia interrupted them after taking a quick look at the puzzled expressions of Kusaya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi.

In an instant, Zhan Ji Lingma had crossed the corridor, opened the door of the laboratory with the key, and several people followed him in.

The laboratory was filled with various flasks, test tubes and measuring cups, and every corner of the room was covered with emerald green vines, making the entire laboratory appear unusually dark even with the lights on.

"Here, the experimental records of this time are here." Zhan Ji Lingma skillfully opened the tablet computer in the drawer and handed it to Wu Dao Guihu.

The moment Wu Daoguitora was watching, his body turned into blue fluorescence and disappeared.

Instead, Zhan Ji Lingma was wearing a white coat, protective glasses, and white gloves, fully armed and ready to do experiments.

"The experiment on dividing the Helheim Forest Fruit will begin now."

Zhan Ji Lingma picked the fruit wrapped in red skin from the vine next to him that had already covered the entire interior of the room.

The moment he peeled off the red skin, both Kuzunoya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi wanted to eat it.

Although it is very faint, it is real.

Zhan Ji Lingma used a surgical scalpel to cut the transparent flesh and divide it into several equal portions.

He is not only a researcher, he is also a doctor who is proficient in surgery.

"Little white mice, your lunch is here." Zhan Ji Lingma pinched the thinly cut fruit pulp and fed it directly to the little white mice that were raised using a specific method.

These specially bred mice seemed to have seen some delicious meal and ate it up in one gulp.

The fruit is a temptation not only to humans, but also to all types of creatures on earth.

Zhan Ji Lingma was quietly watching these little white mice whose fate was already sealed through the cabinet. The moment they ate, a faint green light burst out from the bodies of the little white mice, and vine-like plants gradually covered their bodies.

But just when Zhan Ji Lingma thought a miracle had happened, several cracks appeared on its body, which was filled with green light.

Then, the mouse's body seemed to be pinched by a big hand in the void and squeezed hard.

The gushing blood instantly covered the entire culture chamber, and then all the mice that ate the fruit flesh exploded, leaving no one alive.

"Failed." Zhan Ji Lingma raised his eyebrows as he looked at the blood-red incubator in front of him, without any surprise.

How could the fruit that possesses divine power be obtained by this group of lowly creatures?

In the subsequent scenes, animals of various sizes were force-fed different amounts of fruit pulp, but without exception, they either mutated or died, there was no third option.

Among all the animals in nature, if we simply compare the number, no one can compare with insects. Even the number of mice is 5 times higher than the current number of humans.

The Ark Project only needs to clean up the population and ensure that those without WarDrives do not become Outlanders.

But what about the animals? What will happen to them after they eat the fruit?

The answer is that large animals will become aliens like humans, and small animals will be exterminated.

What Wu Daoguihu was thinking about was whether it was possible to alleviate the mutation by reducing the pulp, or to stay awake, which is often said to be fighting it by using dosage and toxicity.

He will not give up any chance to save humanity unless he really reaches a dead end.

It is indeed a good idea to keep humans sane by constantly adapting to the power, but it is obvious that although this method makes sense in theory, the conditions for its implementation are very harsh.

This thing is more like a virus. Without immunity, it will eventually turn into a monster.

However, this also gave Zhan Ji Lingma an inspiration, because people attacked by aliens would also be infected, it’s just a matter of time.

But if all it takes is to stop the body from mutating so quickly, then it's possible.

It is indeed a very good idea to use the belt he invented to forcibly curb mutations and survive under the power.

After all, in the future world, population is a very precious resource.
