Chapter 223 Don’t do things that will make you regret

On a planet with three moons.

Fifty-one Undead cards revolve around the pure white seal stone. Their consciousness awakens and they receive new revelations from the ruler.

A new extreme battle is about to begin——

Undeads no longer need to fight each other.

In a limited time, if not sealed by JOKER, all remaining Undead can share the power of the ruler and control a planet for reproduction.

In an instant, the rotating cards turned into a beam of light that fell in all directions of the planet.

The Queen of Clubs stood up in the image of a tiger undead creature. She looked at herself in disbelief after being released, and then looked up at the pure white sealing stone high in the sky above the planet.

That is the will of the Creator.

So is this a chance to get mercy?

A new extreme battle...

……

This time, Kawahara set new rules for the pure white sealing stone with a clear will.

Although the Undead no longer need to fight each other, the unspoken rule of sealing other opponents after the battle still exists.

After that, facing the pursuit of JOKER, the Undeads will have to choose whether to cooperate for mutual benefit, or to keep themselves out of trouble, or even to continue killing each other.

But one thing he didn't reveal was...

This time JOKER has also been strengthened.

Faced with a JOKER that is far more powerful than the previous version, the safest way for the Undead to win is to fight together, but Kawahara does not intend to remind them of this.

after all……

With only half of the power of creation left, it is not enough to divide the number of remaining Undead.

After the pure white seal stone began to work, Kawahara raised his hand, and the pitch-black seal stone began to twist and collapse, eventually turning into a pitch-black card and falling into his hand.

Both sides of the card are black, with only a deep black vortex on the card.

This was the card before he transformed into the "Sealing Stone" when he entered the Creation Space. It was the source of everything and the beginning of his desire to seal the undead creatures.

Kawahara felt a bit complicated as he held this card that contained the "power of creation" in his hand.

He always remembered the purpose of coming here. He couldn't even fully integrate the power of the cards. He was already very different from the "power of darkness" who was the true creator god who communicated with everything. And now he had given away half of his power.

That's one choice.

Was it right for him to make such a choice?
If he was determined to protect only this world, he could just take the Sealing Stone away and abandon this world that was gradually collapsing due to the loss of the power of creation.

But after knowing what kind of world this is.

Kawahara couldn't make that decision.

So the choice is - is your own world the most important, or is this unexpectedly created world also important?
but……

This world that was born unexpectedly is now considered "his world", isn't it?
Kawahara finally let out a long sigh and stopped hesitating. Since he couldn't give up, he might as well not do something that would make him regret.

So even without the interference of Hearts 2, Kawahara would still try to create another Sealing Stone.

Therefore, since he came to this world, he has been communicating with the power of the Sealing Stone, making himself as familiar as possible with the power of creation, so that he can "create" a copy of it to stay.

However, it may be innate that humans like to rebel against their creator...

Human civilization is a history of struggle.

The more unfortunate you are, the more you pray for happiness. Once you get happiness, you want more. Then, for the desires in your heart, you fight against nature, confront the whole world, and fight against fate.

Even fighting against another self.

Or perhaps, all living things evolved this way.

After Kawahara put away the Genesis Card, he also sent the newly born Black JOKER down to the planet. This time, without the power of the 2 of Hearts intervening in the battlefield, there shouldn't be any Undead that can affect it.

Just as he was thinking this, Kawahara saw a plum blossom card fly back to the pure white seal stone and come in front of him.

It's the King of Clubs.

"what happened?"

Kawahara raised an eyebrow and looked at the card in front of him.

The K of clubs is a special type of K. It is clearly a King card, but it is the most Buddhist, the most decadent, and the undead creature with the least desire to fight among the four Ks.

Obviously, according to common sense, the higher the category of the undead creature, the stronger its fighting instinct will be.

Just like JOKER was born only for destruction.

But the Undead that is mixed with the 2 of Hearts still has something to offer. The King of Clubs was able to feel the genuine emotions of the 2 of Hearts, so he believed that "humans" could bring a suitable future to all races.

So this guy is actually an undead creature with potential "mental" abilities.

Kawahara did not stop the King of Clubs from approaching. The other party appeared in front of him in the form of an undead creature, and then turned into a human male with a gentle face.

"I don't intend to participate in the Extreme War. Humans are right about some things. Not all races are suitable to control the planet alone."

The King of Clubs opened his mouth with these words.

As a King-level wolf spider, it is capable of surviving to the end.

But a race of wolf spiders taking control of an entire planet...it was hard for the King of Clubs to imagine such a weird scene.

After 2 years of evolution, the Earth's ecosystem is now very complete. He may not be able to transform it into a perfect planet like Hearts did, so it is better to let the wolf spider race continue to stay on Earth and evolve.

Kawahara was stunned when he heard this.

Then he nodded seriously and said, "That's good too. I was just worried that you might kidnap the other JOKER I released like a 'human'."

Club K: “…”

Kawahara then smiled and said, "But humans have chosen to sleep in the Sealing Stone. What are your plans?"

The King of Clubs came back to his senses and said, "I want to go back to Earth. It's a very suitable place to live. I haven't had time to take a good look at that world after the seal was lifted. Besides, I miss Nai Que'er too."

Nai Que'er is a hibiscus bird raised by Meihua K after he was unsealed in modern times. Before he voluntarily was sealed by Leangle, he entrusted the bird to Shirai Farm for care.

I have to say, this guy is indeed a King who knows how to enjoy himself.

Since he voluntarily gave up part of the power of creation, Kawahara didn't mind sending him back to Earth. Now there was one less strong competitor in the Extreme Battle.

I wonder if there are other Undead who also want to give up this battle?

Kawahara waited for a while and finally confirmed that the King of Clubs was the worst among the undead creatures.

……

……

Earth.

The third day after the Creator left.

The earth has not yet been destroyed.

It doesn't matter to Shiori Hirose and others, who were worried and anxious at the beginning but are now calm and composed. Kotaro Shirai even added the role of the creator in the "Kamen Rider novel" he wrote.

Unfortunately, because King of Pop Lu Boshi’s reputation was too terrible, his novel was rejected by a publishing house.

But he felt he still had a chance of being published!

"If the world is about to be destroyed, these things won't matter anymore, right?" Shirai Toratarou said, supporting his chin.

"Mr. Tachibana has already gone to the BOARD to find a solution. Since the Knight System is related to that stone slab, maybe we can find another solution by then..."

Having said this, Hirose Shiori paused, looking a little depressed as if he remembered something.

Shirai Kotaro, who was completely unaware of the atmosphere, soon became optimistic again.

He said excitedly: "But the human Undead also said it before, even if the Sealing Stone was taken away, it would not necessarily lead to the destruction of the world. Maybe this is the result now! It's actually good that there are no Undead on Earth. Kenzaki and the others don't have to fight--"

"Torataro!"

Hirose Shiori suddenly interrupted him with a sharp voice.

Shirai Kotaro was startled, then he came to his senses and looked awkwardly at Kenzaki Kazuma who was sitting silently on the sofa. The latter was also looking at him with an expressionless face.

The absence of Undead on Earth is indeed a good thing for most people.

But unfortunately, someone who was neither Undead nor human was also taken away from the earth.

Although Shirai Kotaro has never liked the undead creature that stayed around his sister and niece and brought danger to them... he didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.

Shirai Kotaro was feeling guilty and feeling a little uneasy. Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and he immediately stood up!
"I'll open the door!"

He quickly left Kenzaki Kazuma's side.

Hirose Shiori also wanted to divert Kenzaki Kazuma's attention, so he casually said, "At this time, I wonder if there is any news from Mr. Tachibana."

After all, apart from people like them, there are very few outsiders visiting Shirai Farm.

Kenzaki Kazuma also became hopeful after hearing this, and simply stood up and went to the door. As soon as he got there, he heard Shirai Kotaro's shocked cry. "Kotaro, what's wrong?"

He quickly quickened his pace to look over, and saw Shirai Kotaro clinging to the wall of the entrance as if he was frightened, and outside the door stood a man wearing a Tibetan robe and a turban.

The man's outfit was very familiar, and the usual kind smile on his face was also particularly familiar.

"Mr. Shima?!"

Hearing the noise, Hirose Shiori also ran to the door. After seeing the King of Clubs, the three of them were equally confused.

The human name of the King of Clubs is "Shima Noboru". After being unsealed, he moved away from Tokyo to avoid fighting. Later, he met Karasuma Kei who was being hunted by the king Lu Hiroshi.

He and Karasuma Kei had similar personalities and hit it off immediately, so Shima Noboru was entrusted to return to Tokyo to help Kenzaki Kazuma and others.

Therefore, everyone became familiar with him.

"Mr. Dao Sheng, why are you back again? Could it be that..."

After welcoming Shima Noboru in, Hirose Shiori served him tea attentively, and then took the initiative to ask questions amid the expectant eyes of the crowd.

Dao Sheng drank a sip of tea to moisten his mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, since the Creator has clearly stated that he will not restart the Extreme War on Earth, he will not break his promise."

Shirai Kotaro asked excitedly: "That means the world won't be destroyed, right?"

Dao Sheng nodded with a smile.

Hirose Shiori finally relaxed a little, and then asked tentatively: "Then why are you..."

"The Creator started the Extreme War in other places, but I had no ideas in this regard, so I gave up on my own initiative and chose to return to live on Earth." Dao Sheng explained.

Kenzaki Kazuma's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly came over and asked, "Since Mr. Shima Noboru can choose to come back, then what about Hajime...JOKER?"

Dao Sheng thought and said: "The Creator must have something special for JOKER. If he makes his own choice, maybe he won't be disappointed."

So there is indeed a possibility that Aikawa Hajime will come back.

So if the other party also returned to Earth, where would he be now?

——Jacaranda Cafe!
Kenzaki Ichima, who had figured it out, couldn't wait to confirm the situation, so he turned around and ran out of the house: "I'm going out for a while!"

Hirose Shiori and others were unable to stop him, and they only saw the man outside driving away on a BlueSpader motorcycle.

"Really, I hope he won't be disappointed."

Hirose Shiori sighed.

She suddenly asked, "Mr. Dao Sheng, are there any other Undeads who returned to Earth besides you?"

Dao Sheng looked at her thoughtfully: "I don't know about this, but I haven't sensed any other Undead presence on Earth yet. Maybe they still chose to participate in that war."

The ultimate battle is still very attractive to most Undead.

Some of them do it for racial revival, or to gain powerful strength, or even just for pure fun.

It’s just that the fun of the King of Clubs has nothing to do with the ultimate battle.

"What does Mr. Shima Noboru plan to do in the future?" asked Shirai Kotaro curiously.

"Um……"

Dao Sheng teased the little bird in the birdcage with a gentle smile on his face: "Maybe I will go to other places in this world to take a look in the future!"

He likes this world very much.

The King of Clubs has the ability to feel the emotions of all things from the wind, and can also convey emotions to other lives through the wind.

And there is not only the human race in this world, there are also thousands of different creatures, and there are also new and interesting things that he will never be able to experience enough.

The 2 of Hearts really perfected the earth in years, and the K of Clubs makes me tired just thinking about it.

So he really didn't want to participate in the extreme battle.

Anyway, the ACE and King categories are corresponding races. If the Ace of Clubs fights for it, the Wolf Spider race can still flourish against the opponent!
When Shima Sheng was thinking about this, the cheerful voice of Shirai Kotaro came to his mind again.

"Is it a trip? Then if Mr. Shima Noboru is tired of traveling in the future, he can come back here to rest. I can prepare a dinner for everyone!" Shirai Toratarou said happily.

Dao Sheng looked up at him, who was emitting pure kindness, and a knowing smile appeared on his face again.

"Okay, thank you for the treat."

“Why don’t I go get ready now? Mr. Shima Noboru is back soon, and Aikawa Hajime should be back too. Then I can bring my sister and Amane over to play together!”

Shirai Kotaro was still thinking about the lively dinner party, so he made his own decision and turned to call Jacaranda.

Hirose Shiori looked at his childish behavior somewhat helplessly, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked towards the yard where a barbecue grill had been set up.

She let out a long sigh and said, "If the battle with the Undead ends here, it will be good for everyone."

"yes……"

Dao Sheng picked up the teacup, a red tassel wrapped around the knuckles of his right hand swaying gently in the breeze that came into the house.

He looked out the window with an ambiguous look in his eyes: "If only there were no Undead..."

……

……

Jacaranda Cafe.

Kenzaki Kazuma arrived here quickly.

But when he hurried into the store, he saw that the hall on the second floor was empty. Only Kurihara Haruka, who heard the noise in the kitchen, hurried out.

"Ah, it's Kenzaki-kun!" Kurihara Haruka greeted with a soft smile.

"Mrs. Kurihara..."

Kenzaki Kazuma glanced around the store hesitantly, but he didn't see the man, nor did he sense any familiar aura. He didn't dare to directly ask Kurihara Haruka about Aikawa Hajime's whereabouts.

After all, after Aikawa Hajime disappeared inexplicably three days ago, the Kurihara family had been sad for a long time, especially Kurihara Amane. The whole child was a little depressed because of this.

So he paused for a moment and asked, "Where's Tianyin? How is she doing recently?"

Kurihara Haruka smiled helplessly: "She has been staying in her room these past few days and refused to come out. I was thinking about whether I should take her to Kotaro's place to relax."

This kind of reaction...it seems that Aikawa Hajime has not come back. Could it be that Mr. Shima Noboru guessed wrong?

Kenzaki Kazuma pursed his lips and fell silent.

Although he hadn't explained his purpose yet, Kurihara Haruka poured him a cup of black tea and asked softly, "Hajime, what happened?"

"that……"

Kenzaki Kazuma didn't know how to explain it to them.

Because the Kurihara family has never known the true identity of Aikawa Hajime, they don’t know that he is Kamen Rider Chalice, and they don’t know that he is a non-human monster.

Even though Hajime Aikawa disappeared to protect them, they couldn't tell the truth.

Just when Kenzaki Kazuma was feeling melancholy, the sound of footsteps came from the first floor below the coffee shop. It was Kurihara Tenone who ran out quickly.

"Kensaki-kun!"

Kurihara Tianyin rushed to him anxiously and asked, "Is Brother Hajime back? How is he? Where is he now?"

Kenzaki Kazuma was suddenly at a loss: "No...I...that..."

I can't lie, but I can't explain it either.

Just when Kenzaki Kazuma was sweating profusely, Kurihara Tenon seemed to sense something. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked back out the window, then she left him and ran out of the coffee shop again.

“——Hajime-nii-nii!”

"Tianyin!"

Kurihara Haruka shouted worriedly.

However, when they looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the street, they saw that Kurihara Tenone, who had run out, had already thrown herself into the arms of a young man.

The young man, wearing his usual beige long windbreaker, caught Kurihara Tenon who rushed over to him, chuckled and touched the top of the girl's head.

There was an indescribable gentle aura about the other person, an aura that was like that of a human yet transcended that of a human. The sunlight around him seemed to become hazy and illusory like silk.

It's not the depressing feeling of JOKER.

This is the kind of tolerance that makes people unconsciously feel close to each other.

Kenzaki Kazuma looked at the figure outside the window in a daze, and after the young man comforted Kurihara Tenon, he turned his head and looked at him who was sitting in the store, as if he sensed something, and then a familiar smile appeared on his face.

But it was different from the smile he had before when he was trying to make himself closer to humans, and it was also different from the smile that came from the bottom of his heart after he possessed a human heart.

This is a more pure breath.

Kenzaki Kazuma suddenly realized something.

——It’s human.
