"What if?"

On the empty mountaintop, Gates's soliloquy received an unusual response.

Next to Gates, I saw a figure wearing a black suit with magenta lining. The color changed from light to dark, like a chameleon that had released its invisibility and appeared.

He raised his chin slightly, glanced sideways at Gates, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and continued.

"Why, do you still want to kill his 'brothers and sisters' in front of him?"

Upon hearing this, Gates was silent for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look.

"Kadoya Shi!"

Yes, the figure that appeared next to Gates was none other than Kado Yaji.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Men Ya Shi couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, look at the question you asked...Have you forgotten who sent you here? Tsk, you can't do this, I'm a junior, you are weak and your brain is not bright.

Why do you think you can advise the devil on his path?"

"..."

Gates was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face suddenly turned red.

That's angry.

He has heard similar words before.

That time, he was knocked to the ground by Kado Yashi, and his whole body was in a state of embarrassment.

The scene at that time could not help but reappear in his mind, making him even more angry.

"You guy...!"

However, as soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Kadoya Shi.

"Am I wrong?"

Facing the emotional Gates, the expression on Monyaji's face disappeared instantly, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly into Gates's eyes.

The light in his eyes went straight to the depths of Gates' heart, like a bucket of cold water being poured on Gates' head.

Gates immediately calmed down...

At least on the surface, it doesn't look like a powder keg anymore.

Seeing this result, Kado Yashi raised his eyebrows, and then a smile appeared on his face again.

"Look, don't you know very well? How powerful the current Demon King has become..."

At this point, Kado Yashi's voice changed.

"But you must not know that even so, the Demon King has been worrying that he is not strong enough."

Looking at the past.

Not only the power of knights, but also the power of time possessed by Tokiwa Shogo himself, he has never given up on developing it.

It is unimaginable that this Demon King, who others thought would gain the power of the Demon King to rule the world as long as he survived the encounter with the Demon, would always be worried that his power was not enough.

In fact, the more others feared Tokio, the more worried Tokiwa Shougo became.

After all, the future world where Demon King exists is not an ordinary bad one.

Therefore, ever since he came into contact with the world of knights and learned about that future, Tokiwa Shogo has never slackened in his pursuit of power.

He wants to ensure that he has enough power to protect everything at any stage.

As for the strongest power, he can not use it, but he cannot live without it.

"On the other hand, what about you?"

Thinking of this analysis of Shogo Tokiwa, Kadoyaji asked Gates a soul question.

"Mingguangyuan Gates, since you came to this era, how long have you not exercised yourself as before?"

The answer is, not even once.

At this moment, if Gates had just been poured cold water on him before.

So now, it was like he was suddenly thrown into an ice cellar.

Looking at Gates who had completely calmed down because of these words, Kado Yaji continued.

"Very good, it seems we can move on to the next topic."

Kado Yaji defined Gates’ identity.

"Obviously, with your current strength, you cannot persuade the Demon King to follow his path, so if you still want to be the Demon King's partner, you can only follow him and agree with the Demon King's path.

"So, here comes the question...

"The path of the Demon King is not only about glamor and beauty.

"It's different from your previous participation in the Demon King's Resistance Army.

"That is a road that can never be completed by relying on justice alone.

"So, take a good look at the battle below, Meikoin Gates, to understand carefully how Tokiwa Shogo felt when he killed Sakurai Yuuto and Hana with his own hands in the last alien drive incident.

What is it like.

"Then I'll answer...

"you,

"Do you still have the courage to go with the Demon King?"

"I……"

Gates opened his mouth, but was unable to give a complete answer for a while.

This is of course.

Compare that to what Kadoyaji is now showing Gates.

What Gates thought in the past was simply superficial.

Do you want to help King Shi because you believe he can create a better future?

This is correct.

But what about something deeper?

Gates discovered...

He had never thought about what he would face with King Shi after that.

How ridiculous. He had been struggling with whether to become the Demon King's friend before, but he never thought about whether he was qualified to be the Demon King's friend.

As Kado Yashi said, this is his arrogance.

In contrast, Fukami Makoto had a clear understanding of the road ahead...and awareness from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, when Gates once again turned his attention to the ongoing battle between Yamashita Fukami Makoto, he suddenly understood something.

That was what Makoto Fukami said to him before when he just got the Specter knight watch.

[Do you want it? But, right now, I can’t give it to you. In order to practice my way of survival, I need enough strength! 】

"...So, since then, have you been preparing for this situation? Kamen Rider, Specter!"

Seeing Gates' expression change like this, although he didn't get an answer from Gates, Kadoya still smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Understood? It's not bad. It's worth my painstaking efforts to let you come to this world and experience this."

Saying this, Kadoyaji raised his hand, patted Gates on the shoulder, and smiled at him.

"As for the answer to this question, you can give it slowly.

"But now,

"you,

"Why don't you quickly say thank you to me?"

…

…

The world of beholders.

Shogo Tokiwa didn't care about the result that the deep emerald tornado he created with the W Knight Watch was cut off.

On the contrary, if the other party does not have such power, he will be disappointed.

During this process, Tokiwa Shogo always stood at the edge of the outermost farmland.

It wasn't until Denton, who had transformed into a strange ghost, appeared on the stage that he smiled and stepped forward and officially stepped onto the stage.

Just like the two people leading the dance at a dinner party, they are walking towards each other step by step.

During this period, Tokiwa Shougo inserted the knight's watch into the space-time drive.

【zi-o!】

Rotating drive body.

"Transformation."

【rider time(rider time)!】

【kamenrider zi-o!】

Kamen Rider Zi-O armor suit.

Then, both sides stood still.

Tokiwa Shogo clasped his left hand behind his back, raised his right hand, and extended an invitation to Denton.
