Chapter 222 Another Sealing Stone
As long as all the heart-type cards are recovered, the power of creation dispersed by the Sealing Stone will be complete.
Kawahara needs this power to fight Kurokami.
He looked across at Calis.
The Ace of Hearts, Calis, controlled by Hajime Aikawa - JOKER, slowly held the awakening bow in front of him and took a defensive and offensive stance towards him.
Kenzaki Kazuma and Tachibana Saku, who had lost their ability to fight, looked at each other anxiously.
The Knight System can no longer transform without the Undead Card, and now the only remaining fighting force is Aikawa Hajime.
But how to combat this?
This was the standoff scene when Hirose Shiori and two others arrived at the scene.
Next to the Sealing Stone was an unexpectedly young man with gentle features, but his gaze showed no emotion.
“What will happen to the Earth after all the Undead are sealed?” she couldn’t help but shout.
This sound broke the silence.
And this is actually what everyone present is concerned about, although Kenzaki Kazuma may care about a little more.
Kawahara looked at her and said calmly, "The earth will not change."
Hirose Shiori then continued to ask: "What will happen to the Earth after the Sealing Stone disappears from this world?"
Kawahara did not respond to this sentence.
How do you respond to something you're not sure about?
If you make promises just to get by but don't keep them, you are just adding to your own psychological pressure.
Kawahara didn't plan to ask for advice.
And his silent reaction seemed to make the whole atmosphere suddenly tense.
Kenzaki Kazuma immediately took a step forward, looked at Calis next to him, then looked at Kawahara, and said with a firm look: "I won't let you destroy this world! I won't let you seal Hajime either!"
Kawahara raised his eyebrows after hearing his words, then raised his hand directly towards Calis.
In an instant, a light curtain surged on Calis' body, and cards flew out of his body one after another!
wow——
Aikawa Hajime suddenly groaned, and after losing all thirteen heart-type cards, he turned back into a dark green JOKER.
Kawahara spread thirteen heart cards between his fingers, and the heart 2 that did not have any ferocious appearance stood out among the beasts.
Kenzaki Kazuma quickly supported JOKER who was staggering after his card was taken away.
"beginning…"
But the next moment, JOKER suddenly pushed him away and rushed directly towards Kawahara on the opposite side. He swung the sickle in his right arm fiercely at the motionless man!
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
Amidst a burst of astonishment and exclamations, JOKER's sickle blade drew a trail of light in the air, and when the strong wind hit the man, the rushing JOKER turned directly into a card in front of Kawahara.
Snapped!
Kawahara quickly caught the card that was covering his face.
The JOKER card has a different background color from the other four categories of cards. It has a pitch-black background, and the card face is a heart-shaped green insect emblem with scarlet JOKER characters on the upper and lower sides of the card.
Holding the card, he could feel JOKER's extreme indignation.
It is completely different from what it was ten thousand years ago, when it was lifeless and uneventful.
"how so……"
Despair enveloped the remaining humans present.
The last of the fighting force was defeated in just one encounter. Facing the Creator who ruled this world, they had no power to resist at all!
So how do we change the other person's mind?
By persuasion?
But the ruler confiscated all the Undead cards without saying a word, and the other party couldn't even answer the question "Can the Earth still exist?"
Just when everyone was stunned, Kenzaki Kazuma suddenly rushed towards Kawahara and hit him with his fist without hesitation!
"Even if you created this world—"
Kenzaki Kazuma yelled, "Even if you created the Undead and us, humans are humans, and the beginning is the beginning. Even you have no right to manipulate our fate!"
He rushed forward with his fists swinging fiercely, and the next moment he was blown away by an invisible wave.
Kawahara looked at him oddly.
Kenzaki Kazuma fell heavily to the ground and hissed in pain.
Tachibana Saku also quickly helped him up: "Kenzaki, how are you? Don't force yourself. Heart 2 also said that we can't defeat him. And even if all the Undead cards are recycled, the world will not necessarily be destroyed."
So the possibility is very low...
But as long as it is confirmed that the rulers will not reopen the Extreme War on Earth, then they still have the possibility to continue living in this world.
As for the Undead and the like, humans had never come into contact with such things before and were still developing normally.
It might even be a good thing for humans if there were no undead creatures on Earth.
"no……"
However, Kenzaki Kazuma shook his head. He seemed to be in extreme discomfort and covered his chest with his hands, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
"I can't let him take Hajime away!"
Kenzaki Kazuma said seriously: "Although he is a JOKER, he now has his own heart. Hajime also wants to live well in this world! And there are Tianyin and the others, they are also waiting for Hajime to return!"
"Kenzaki..."
After hearing this, Ju Shuo was also stunned.
After Kenzaki Kazuma pushed away Tachibana Sakuya's support, he looked at Kawahara with a determined gaze, as if there was a raging fire burning in his eyes.
"If you represent our destiny, then I will fight against destiny!"
He said this with firmness and resolution.
But the next moment, he suddenly bent down quickly, holding his chest in pain, and his whole body curled up on the ground, looking as if he was suffering from some torture.
"Kensaki!"
Seeing this, the others were about to rush forward in worry, but an indescribable aura descended upon them, causing them to subconsciously stop. They could only watch the Creator, who seemed no different from an ordinary human, walk to Kenzaki Kazuma.
Kawahara squatted slightly and looked down at Kenzaki Kazuma who was struggling on the ground.
"Human willpower can indeed do many incredible things. Without the Undead card, the signs of your fusion with the Undead will also stop. But if you want to do that, the remaining power can still turn you into a new Undead."
Kawahara looked at him with deep eyes: "Kenzaki Kazuma, do you want to completely lose your human identity and become a [monster]?"
Kenzaki Kazuma looked up at him in some surprise.
As someone who is in the process of mutation, Kenzaki Kazuma himself did not expect it to reach this point.
After using thirteen spade cards to transform into King Form, the developer of the Knight system, Kei Karasuma, was the first to discover the hidden dangers brought about by Kenzaki Kazuma's extremely high fusion coefficient.
After all, using the Undead card to transform into Kamen Rider is actually a process of merging with Undead.
Normally, when they transform into their normal form, they only need to fuse with an Ace of Spades, but when they transform into their King form, they have to fuse with thirteen Undeads!
That's already approaching JOKER.
The first time Kawahara saw Kenzaki Kazuma, he noticed something unusual about this boy's body.
After all, he could still be alive and well after being hit by the ultimate punch. Now, even if he no longer has any Undead cards, he can still force the power remaining in his body to awaken.
Kenzaki Kazuma...
He is simply a born JOKER!
Kawahara does not have the extreme idea of "as long as humans are humans" like Kurokami. After all, there are few normal humans among Kamen Riders.
And few people who choose to be Kamen Rider are normal.
Even if the early stage is normal, the later stage will be abnormal.
Kenzaki Kazuma is like this.
Facing the calm and even somewhat indifferent gaze of the man in front of him, Kenzaki Kazuma was stunned for a moment, and then he became firm in his choice.
"If this can defeat you, can overcome the fate that you manipulated, then I——"
"tie!"
However, before Kenzaki Kazuma could finish his statement, Kawahara hit him on the back of the head with a stick, knocking him unconscious.
Some Kamen Riders can explode their microcosms.
But Kawahara would not give him this opportunity.
Interrupt him before he explodes!
Kawahara stood up with a calm expression, and the unconscious Kenzaki Kazuma was supported by an invisible force and floated up, and then the power of Undead overflowed from his body.
A new card is formed.
The style is almost the same as the JOKER card, but the pattern on the card is a black insect emblem in the shape of an inverted heart (spade).
This is the power that Kenzaki Kazuma awakened on his own.
——The Kamen Rider with strong faith is really scary.
Kawahara put the card away, then he looked at Kamijiro Mutsuki who was on the outskirts of the battlefield.
Kamijiro Mutsuki, who finally followed, was stunned when he saw this and subconsciously turned around to escape, but his body suddenly floated up.
Kamijiro Mutsuki struggled and shouted, and the phantom of a small golden spider the size of a knuckle was drawn out from between his eyebrows, and then was crushed directly by Kawahara in mid-air.
Ace of Clubs: “…”
The little golden spider is the clone of the Ace of Clubs.
When the Leangle buckle was being manufactured, Ace of Clubs planted the little spider into Mutsuki Kamijiro's body.
Therefore, even if the card is not in Kamijou Mutsuki's body, its will can still affect the parasite through the spider. It prompted Kamijou Mutsuki to steal the Leangle buckle, and then persuaded him to frequently transform into Kamen Rider Leangle to fight, after all, transformation is a process of fusion with Undead.
This guy wanted to be reborn from a human and gain the power to seal the Undead.
After doing all this, these Kamen Riders no longer have any characteristics related to undead creatures.
But it’s just not available at the moment.
Kawahara looked at Tachibana Sakuya and said, "I will no longer be involved in the things in the Human Research Institute, and this Earth will be left to humans to continue to control."
Tachibana Saku, who was checking on Kenzaki Kazuma's condition, also looked at him when he heard this, but he did not look happy at all, just anxious and uneasy.
"Are you going to take the Sealing Stone with you?"
Ju Shuo was unwilling to give in and asked: "So what will happen to the Earth after this? Our world——"
Kawahara: “…”Don’t ask this anymore!
The space around the Sealing Stone twisted invisibly, and Kawahara underneath it disappeared with it. In an instant, the oppressive atmosphere that enveloped the entire factory suddenly disappeared.
The remaining humans were left staring at each other in silence.
Humans cannot expect a half-baked Creator to give them a definite promise about their future.
Therefore, even if the Earth will not resume the Extreme War, such a result still cannot dispel the dark clouds in everyone's hearts.
……
……
Space beyond the Earth.
A strange galaxy with three moons.
Reflecting the starry sky, a pitch-black stone slab with the color of the galaxy flowing on its surface suddenly appeared, and then slowly twisted into a geometric shape.
The Sealing Stone just floats quietly like this.
And in the pitch-black void, the card of the 2 of Hearts emerged from the seal stone inside.
"What do you want to do?"
"The power of the Sealing Stone is dispersed among these fifty-three cards. I need to recover this power, so you must come back."
Kawahara was still holding Kenzaki Kazuma's black JOKER and looking at it. After feeling the intention of the 2 of Hearts, he just responded with an unclear tone.
After hearing this, the image of the creature of the 2 of Hearts then appeared in front of him.
The human stared at him for a long moment and then said, "Are you thinking about... remaking a Sealing Stone?"
Kawahara finally turned his gaze towards the human in front of him.
"You took the initiative to tell Queen of Plum Blossom the truth of ten thousand years ago, and even persuaded JOKER and Kenzaki Kazuma to come to me. Aren't you just trying to make me soften my heart for this world?" Kawahara said lightly.
So a smile appeared on the human's lips.
Kawahara continued: "However, although I can try for this world, I cannot guarantee success, and this is only my only option."
If you fail, you will be destroyed.
This time the human didn't force it: "That's fate. I just want you to have this intention."
Kawahara frowned and looked at him: "Really? You really dare to instigate this. Aren't you worried that I will give up this world after being provoked?"
The human still had a gentle smile on his face: "Because everything in this world was born from your will, and "humans" were created by you and chosen by you willingly, then why don't I do these things because you "hope" that I will do such things."
Kawahara sneered: "Oh? So you mean that I really 'hope' that humans will rebel against their creator..."
Kawahara paused suddenly when he said this.
and many more……
To put it another way, maybe this is really what is in his "will"...
Forget it, we can’t go into details about this matter.
If you look into it carefully, you will slap yourself in the face.
Kawahara waved his hand and threw the Two of Hearts back into the Sealing Stone: "Stop talking nonsense, just cooperate if you know what I'm going to do!"
It turned out that he gave humans too much freedom!
……
The reason why Kawahara never made any promises to those people was because he had basically determined that without the maintenance of the power of creation, this world would inevitably collapse after he left.
So he did intend to try to create another "Sealing Stone" to keep the world running.
It may take humans more than ten years of research to understand the power of the Sealing Stone, but Kawahara only needs to sense the side that he wants to know.
Before this world was born——
The power of light allowed the power of "Ansi" to enter the medium of creating the world, and the impression of Undead in his mind began to take shape.
Then came the darkness that created the world.
The reason why Kawahara returned from the Ultimate Form to the state of the White Newborn Kuuga in one step was because the "world" was born from the power of "darkness", and the "Ultimate Darkness" in him created the world and the Sealing Stone through his will.
Light and darkness are the media that construct a world.
After roughly realizing this relationship, Kawahara remembered the birth of the Ultimate Seeker and vaguely understood something.
The world is a motorcycle!
Then, opposite the pitch-black sealing stone in the outside world, a pure white sealing stone was slowly born, emerging from virtual to real like a mirror.
The pure white sealing stone sparkled, reflecting brilliant colors under the reflection of the galaxy, and fifty-one cards floated out from it.
In the void of the pitch-black Sealing Stone, Kawahara looked at the two Undead cards in his hand.
He will put the 2 of Hearts back on Earth.
And the other one is JOKER.
"I asked you before, do you want to give up JOKER's power? If so, I might be able to let you continue to live on Earth as a human."
Kawahara does have some selfish motives towards this card.
The reason why Hajime Aikawa hesitated about this matter at the beginning was because he was worried that he would no longer be able to resist after losing the power of JOKER.
Although the facts have proven that even if you have the power, there is no room for resistance...
So this time.
He agreed without hesitation.
He wants to live on Earth as a human being, not as a fighting machine.
After receiving a positive choice, Kawahara decided to modify this card.
However, Heart 2 conveyed his thoughts at this time: "If the result of JOKER destroying the world does not happen again, then it is still possible to continue living in the human world with my power."
Hearing this, Kawahara raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest: "So you want to stay sealed forever?"
"what……"
The 2 of Hearts said, "The main thing is that I have spent years."
The winner will not be sealed into a card, so after gaining the power of the ruler and controlling the earth, the Two of Hearts was truly a single Undead wandering on earth for 2 years.
Therefore, after the modern Undead cards were unlocked again, the 2 of Hearts, who noticed the change, immediately thought of it - this is definitely not the will of the Creator!
The will of the Creator has left this world, so unlocking the card would only be an accident.
So the 2 of Hearts took the initiative to find JOKER.
After all, when the Creator is not at home, the only one who can seal the other cards is JOKER, so we have to find him first.
It's a good opportunity for him to take a break.
"no!"
However, Kawahara rejected him coldly and ruthlessly.
Kawahara raised his lips and smiled: "You want to continue to preserve the identity of Aikawa Hajime and merge with him. Don't you think that if I change my mind in the future, you can borrow JOKER's power to fight me again? But I have already promised Aikawa Hajime, so this is impossible."
2 of Hearts: "...Then you should just leave me in the Sealing Stone."
The Creator is no longer easy to please.
But as long as nothing on Earth changes, it's fine.
Since he himself wanted to sleep, Kawahara also transferred the 2 of Hearts card into the Pure White Sealing Stone.
As for Aikawa Hajime...
All the power belonging to JOKER overflowed into the black sealing stone, and then the card turned into an arc of light and disappeared. Kawahara sent him back to Earth.
After doing all this, he looked at the pure white sealing stone opposite him, feeling the will of the fifty-one undead ancestors.
The ultimate battle always requires an explanation.
However, the rules of this "Extreme Battle" can also be changed.
Kawahara picked up the black JOKER card. Without Aikawa Hajime, the weapon to cleanse the battlefield this time will be replaced by this new JOKER!
Not all races are suitable for evolution and derivation, and there must always be a pursuer in this elimination competition.
There shouldn't be any mess with the 2 of Hearts this time, right?
