Chapter 379: Fate is played with like this

Kawahara wasn't actually too far away.

He brought Kamen Rider Zangetsu and landed on the hillside they had crossed over. Looking down from here, he could see the village where the War God W belonged, and the World Tree with a huge canopy in the distance.

Zhan Yue, who was forced to teleport next to him, was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He first looked around and then focused his attention on him.

Kawahara looked at him with a smile: "So, what do you want to talk to me about first?"

Zhan Yue paused, then pushed the locking seed on the Zhan Ji driver. As light particles flashed, the man in a suit and tie revealed his original appearance.

Judging from his mature and business-like appearance, this man definitely can’t dance hip-hop.

"Kitora Wudao."

The man said his name calmly.

Kamen Rider Zangetsu - Takatora Kurejima, he is the leader in the research and development of Heim's underworld in the [World Tree] Group that controls Sawame City. He is also the first user of the "Zengi Driver" and can be regarded as the first Kamen Rider born in this world.

Compared to Kuzuya Kota and the group of people dancing street dance who are still unclear about the situation, Wudao Takatora is more mature at this stage.

He has his own reasons for "why he wants to become a knight and fight", and he is also well aware of the harm that "Helheim Forest" may bring to the entire world, and is looking for a solution for it.

Belongs to those who are already standing at the starting line.

——Others are still looking for where the starting line is.

Kawahara walked over and looked around him with interest, and was very satisfied with the strong will that Wudao Guitora already possessed.

Such people will not doubt their lives at every turn like those Yajita brats. They don't need him to guide them from scratch. They just need to be given some strength and they can grow freely!
Just don't grow crooked.

Seeing him looking like he was picking something, Wu Dao Gui Hu frowned slightly, but still spoke again with a cold expression.

"What is your relationship to that forest?"

"Well..."

Kawahara stood still and thought for a moment before saying, "That place is called 'Helheim Forest'. It is a foreign dimension that does not belong to this world. You just need to think of me as someone who came from another world through the forest."

Wu Daoguihu's eyes moved: "Isn't it really not something from Earth..."

He was referring to the forest.

Ever since cracks began to appear all over the world, Helheim was discovered by the World Tree Group, and investigations found that Sawame City was the place with the most space cracks.

So this group settled in Sawama City, and after gradually taking control of the financial lifeline of the entire city, Takatora Wudao also began his research on the underworld of Heim.

"That forest is eroding our world!" said Wudao Guihu with a sharp look.

"Because the purpose of the existence of Helheim Forest is to test the civilizations in the universe. If the test is successful, the civilization will have a chance to evolve and change its destiny. If it fails..." Kawahara paused.

"Becoming an alien?"

Takatora Wudao thought of the monsters in the forest.

And he knew that after eating the fruits of the forest, humans would become irrational monsters like the aliens.

However, Kawahara smiled at him and said, "No, if you succeed, you may be turned into a monster. If you fail, this civilization will be completely destroyed!"

Wu Daoguihu was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face became more serious after a little thought, and there was a bit of inappropriate anxiety.

"Even if we succeed, we still have to become an alien? Why?!" He grabbed Kawahara and asked.

"Because the definition of 'success' and 'failure' depends on the civilized trial-taker. If the victorious trial-taker wishes for a world where the strong prey on the weak, then Helheim Forest will naturally be what he wishes for."

Kawahara paused again when he said this.

The pair of dark eyes stared at Wu Daogui Hu in front of him, and the low and slow voice seemed to have a bewitching magic, and it sounded softly at this time.

"So for you, what do you think the world will look like after the trial is successful?"

"..."

The expression on Wudao Guitora's face changed constantly, and the next moment he suddenly seemed to realize something, and quickly took a step back to distance himself from Kawahara.

He looked at Kawahara warily and said, "So this is why you approached me? What do you want me to do?"

Kawahara took out the black apple again and tossed it up and down. "I told you, in the 'Golden Fruit Battle', you are the one I bet on."

"What is the golden fruit?" Guihu Wudao looked at the black apple shaking in his hand.

"The Helheim Forest will produce a 'golden fruit' for each civilization that passes the test. As long as you get that fruit, you can gain the power of the entire Helheim Forest. That is a power comparable to that of a 'god' that can change the entire world." Kawahara said leisurely.

"Only the winner can get the golden fruit?" Wu Daoguihu asked suspiciously.

“……” Kawahara looked at him.

"If, as you said, human civilization is now undergoing trials, then the golden fruit has also appeared in the forest?" Wu Daoguihu continued.

"..."

Kawahara suddenly grabbed the black apple and looked into the void: "Can I go grab the golden fruit now?"

He actually forgot about this!

The golden fruit did not appear at the last moment. The "golden fruit" belonging to human civilization had already blossomed and borne fruit long ago, but it was just embezzled by the previous civilization trial-taker as soon as it borne fruit!

But he can snatch it from the other person!
Wu Daoguihu looked at him strangely: "What do you mean by snatch it? Who were you talking to just now?"

Xiangliang: "..."

Sagara glanced at the previous trial champion who was in the underworld of Helheim, feeling sad and unaware of the disaster that was about to happen.

Then he politely refused on behalf of the other party.

This is a huge cheat!

Kawahara chuckled, raised his hand and drew a crack in the air towards Helheim. After crossing twice, he had learned to control the power of Helheim.

However, before the zipper was opened, the crack quickly disappeared.

Kawahara's expression restrained slightly, and he suddenly swung his palm towards the open space in front of him. Suddenly a strong wind arose, and a hole with a forest scene appeared directly.

"Crash-"

The heavy rain in the forest seeped out through the gap.

Takatora Wudao looked at this scene in shock, and then looked at Kawahara who was obviously wanting to start trouble.

And at this time.

Sagara's illusory projection appeared in front of the hole.

"It's you?!" Wu Daoguihu was shocked again.

DJ Sagara, who guides young people to use "Fixed Seeds" and "Battle Drivers", is actually working for the World Tree Group on the surface.

Of course, this is just on the surface. The snakes in Helheim Forest just think that this way they can lure the trial-takers more openly.

Sagara frowned and said, "This is too much. Besides, you are not from this civilization, so you cannot use their golden fruit."

Kawahara tilted his head: "I didn't say it was for my own use, why don't I just grab it and give it to him."

He pointed at Wu Daoguihu beside him with confidence. Wu Daoguihu: "..."

Kawahara smiled and opened his arms: "Sigh~ Without destroying fate, fate can be changed so easily!"

Xiangliang: "..."

Xiangliang sighed: "As the observers of Helheim Forest, we are not qualified to personally decide the final ownership of the "Golden Fruit". Therefore, even if you really give the Golden Fruit to him, he will not be recognized by Helheim Forest."

If it was really only necessary to give the "Golden Fruit" to one of them to end everything, then the final "Gaimu" and "Baron" would not have to fight the destined life-and-death battle.

Because the golden fruit also represents the power of the entire Helheim underworld, and it is Helheim that selects those who use it.

Although Sagara, who is only an "observer", has little effect, as a snake from the Helheim Forest, he also hopes that this fruit battle can be more exciting, so he will never admit that this is the end!
Kawahara narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing. Sagara stared at him intently. Fine raindrops continued to fall from the cracks in the space that had been torn open by force.

Takatora Wudao, who was standing between them, looked around. Although he was still a little confused, it was obvious that these two strange people seemed to be arguing over the ownership of the "Golden Fruit".

So Wudao Guihu suddenly took the initiative to break the stalemate: "So, you hope that I will be the one who gets the golden fruit in the end?"

He looked at Kawahara and asked.

Kawahara shifted his gaze to him, but his expression remained calm and he did not respond.

Wu Daoguihu put his hands into his suit trousers and stood there with a firm posture. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on his serious face.

"So, you chose me, but you think that I don't have the strength to win it all on my own?" Wu Dao Gui Hu said calmly.

Kawahara was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

At this moment, Sagara on the opposite side immediately seized the opportunity to applaud: "Right! That's it! The contender for the Golden Fruit should have such confidence and perseverance!"

So Kawahara gave him a blank look.

——What are you talking about?
After the tense stalemate was broken, Sagara resumed his nonchalant, giggling attitude and walked over to put his arm around Kawahara's shoulders.

"Destiny~should be in their own hands!"

Sagara said with emotion: "Whether it is the fate of this civilization or the fate of these people themselves, we have no right to ban it."

Kawahara raised his hand and pressed his face to push him away: "Don't say such funny things, you snake who plays with fate."

Sagara didn't mind and laughed out loud. He made a greeting gesture to Takatora Wudao, who he particularly liked at the moment, and then disappeared along with the torn space gap.

Wudao Guihu, who probably understood the situation, looked at the crack, then looked at Kawahara and said, "I always thought Sagara was just a person who hosted the game for foreigners. It turns out that he is also related to the forest."

"He is the embodiment of that forest. In mythology, he can be seen as the snake in the Garden of Eden." Kawahara said casually.

“…the serpent that tempted men to eat the forbidden fruit?”

Takatora Wudao recalled DJ Sagara's usual image in the live broadcast room and suddenly found that it was very consistent.

The World Tree Group used DJ Xiangliang to spread the "Alien Game" among young people in order to collect data so that more people could be exposed to the "Fixed Seed".

It turned out that this was exactly the other party's purpose.

We do this to allow more people to get in touch with the forest.

While he was thinking about this information, Kawahara had calmed down and returned to his calm and easy-going demeanor.

"I'm sorry, I really went too far just now. I took the initiative to decide everything for you." Kawahara said.

"No... no need to apologize."

Wu Daoguihu looked at him hesitantly.

Kawahara didn't say anything more.

He just came to his senses and realized that his desire to dominate was too strong just now, so he didn't care about Wu Daoguihu's feelings at all, and only treated the other party as a tool that had to act according to his arrangements.

Doing this kind of thing is probably no different from what Kazushi Kadoya did when he was beaten up before.

Speaking of that kid...

Kawahara suddenly looked in the direction of the village and saw Kuzunoya Kota and Takegami W leaving the village together, looking like they were going to die.

He turned back and said to Wudao Guihu: "I will discuss the matter of seizing the golden fruit with you after we leave here. I still have some things to resolve in this world."

Wu Daoguihu also looked at the village when he heard this: "Okay, it just so happens that I also have some work to do."

As expected, the rain in the forest came from this world. As the head of the Heim underworld research team, in addition to driving back the group of "street dance knights" running around, he also had to collect some forest data.

The giant tree standing in the distance is almost exactly the same as the "World Tree" in Sawame City. Takatora Wudao plans to go over and take a look.

Kawahara did not follow them. He stood on the hillside and watched Takatora Wudao leave, with a thoughtful look in his lowered eyes.

I don’t know why he likes Takatora Wudao... maybe it’s because Takatora Wudao has some similarities with him in his personality.

Can’t tell whether this is good or bad.

After all, Kawahara didn't think that anyone was flawless - not even Godai, the guy who ran around the world all day.

And where there are flaws, there will inevitably be mistakes.

The world is so hard to save~
Kawahara looked at the World Tree in the distance and let out a long sigh. He then looked at Kuzuha Kota, who was sitting on a truck and following the motorcycle-riding War God W out of the village. After thinking for a while...

I still don’t dare to join in the fun.

Kawahara took out a pitch-black card and threw it into the air.

Swah——

The Ultimate Tracker was suspended in the air according to his will, and after Kawahara sat on it, it flew directly towards the World Tree.

But he didn't intend to look for Guihu Wudao again.

Kawahara observed the villages spreading out from the World Tree, and ignored the "grapes" and "bananas" he had already discovered, continuing to search for something everywhere.

Although the lords and warrior knights of this world shouted slogans of unifying the world, in fact, those not-so-big countries were not far apart.

Anyway, the river is located high in the sky and can be seen at a glance.

At this moment he discovered something and his thoughts moved, and the Ultimate Tracker immediately turned over there.

……

On the mountain road to the next village.

A pickup truck was attacked by a weirdo.

There are no Kamen Riders or Lords in this small team, so they should not be the target of monsters. However, there is an unusual girl sitting here.

——Gao Siwu.

——Daughter of Origin.
