Chapter 405: Sheng Hong goes into battle immediately!
A fruit dessert shop.
Kuzuya Hirotaka sat here in a daze.
This store is a place where young street dancers often like to gather, and it is also the preferred place for members of the Gaim team to get together. However, the lively scene is no longer the same as before. Now only Ge Yehongtai is left sitting here alone in a daze.
In a trance, he seemed to see the figure of Kakui Yuya. After focusing his vision, he realized that it was a group photo of the members of the Gaim Street Dance Crew.
The young man with a gentle smile standing in the middle of the photo is the captain of the Gaim Team, Yuya Kakui, and he is also Kota Kuzuba's best friend.
But after seeing the other person's face, Kuzuya Kota's heart was overwhelmed with uncontrollable sadness and pain. He buried his head and choked up, not even noticing that the scene around him had turned into Gaim's base.
At this moment, an unspeakable realm descended, and the surrounding light gradually became overexposed.
The Daughter of Origin appeared in the corridor at the door.
"If you run away from your fate, you will spend eternity in regret..."
Hearing the voice, Kuzuya Hirota looked up suddenly.
The blonde girl shrouded in light looked at him sadly, but her dark red right eye was cold and filled with a twisted sense of incongruity.
"dance……"
Ge Yehong looked at her blankly.
The Daughter of Origin said seriously: "There is still a way out. Go and seize your destiny. Only in this way can you save more people."
As she finished speaking, the dim light slowly reached its peak.
"Wait...Dance!"
As if realizing that she was about to disappear like before, Kuzuya Hirota subconsciously reached out to grab her, but in an instant he raised his head from the table in the dessert shop.
The quiet store was empty and the light had returned to normal visual perception, but Kuzuya Kota still felt a sense of incongruity.
He looked around and spotted DJ Sagara, who was smiling widely in the booth at the back.
"Yo~"
Sagara smiled and said, "What's wrong? You look so confused. Where did your high spirits go?"
After all, not long ago, Kuzuya Kota expressed his determination to use his own power to protect more people.
"I do not know either……"
Kuzuya Kota was in no mood to deal with his jokes, he just lowered his head and whispered: "If you want to protect someone, you have to abandon that person, but can you really choose this kind of thing casually?
“Is this really considered protection?
"I don't know. I said I was going to protect everyone, but I ended up sacrificing someone else's life for this. Maybe I am no different from the World Tree Foundation...
"My fight has no meaning at all."
"..."
Seeing him like this, Sagara also restrained his expression slightly, turned his head to think for a while before saying: "Then break the rules."
Ge Yehong looked at him blankly: "What?"
Sagara leaned forward and smiled, leaning on the armrest of the booth. "You don't really hate Helheim Forest and the World Tree Consortium. You just don't like the rule that "you have to sacrifice something to gain hope" - in this case, why don't you break this rule and use your own power to change the world?"
"Change the world?" Kujiro Kota was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, change the world."
"I...?" Ge Yehong was too self-doubting.
"Do you know the golden fruit?"
"what?"
"Those people believed that the power of the forest was unchallengeable, so they chose to succumb to the forest and accept this world with its cruel rules."
Sagara stood up and walked in front of Kuzuba Kota: "But you are different, Kuzuba Kota, you have the real courage to challenge the forest."
Kuzuya Kota himself didn't know that he wanted to challenge Senlin. He just listened to these words in a daze, feeling as if something was breaking out of the ground in his mind.
He couldn't make the choice of "saving someone and destroying someone", but if he continued to fight, he would have to face such a choice.
If the aliens are not eliminated, more people will be injured, and eliminating the aliens will destroy another person's life.
Because the world only offers this option.
Unless he has a stronger power to break the rules.
……
……
A busy fruit dessert shop.
After Kuzuya Kota woke up from DJ Sagara's illusion, he ran out with a determined look in his eyes, completely unaware of the person sitting in the other corner of the store.
The waiter put down a cup of latte and turned to leave, and then Sagara's figure walked out of the wall and sat opposite.
"I thought you would come and stop me~"
There was an ambiguous smile on Sagara's face.
Kawahara drank his coffee and said calmly: "Kuroba Kota is the one you chose. You yourself don't think this is against the rules, so what else can I say?"
"I'm just fulfilling my duties as a 'snake'. After all, this little guy is the most troublesome of all people. If we're not careful, he will have no desire to fight for power at all." Sagara spread his hands.
"As expected, the most 'rebellious' children get the most attention." Kawahara sighed.
"Then finally - except for the two people who were kicked out by you in violation of the rules, whether it is Kuzuya Kota or Wudao Takatora, they now have a reason to fight for power." Sagara said with a smile.
"Really? I'm really looking forward to the results."
Kawahara responded expressionlessly.
Sagara looked at him with interest: "Oh? What happened? You actually look so sad?"
"I just sometimes doubt whether my decision is correct. Of course, even so, I won't change it." Kawahara said lazily, supporting his chin.
"Huh? Why do you doubt your choice?" Sagara seemed a little confused.
"I am a human being after all. As long as I am human, I will have troubles of one kind or another, and sometimes I will make the wrong choices."
"Are you human?"
Sagara leaned back in disbelief.
Kawahara was too lazy to argue with him about this matter, so he asked, "Did you just give the power of "Kachidoki" to Kuzuba Kota?"
It is a form that enhances strength in all aspects.
Even if Wudao Guitora used the honeydew energy lock and the new watermelon lock, Zangetsu might not be able to defeat Shenghong Gaim. It could even be said that he is completely defeated in terms of strength!
However, Takatora Wudao's operation may be able to make up for some possibilities of being beaten.
Sagara shifted his gaze and said, "That's right. It's rare that the kid has regained his fighting spirit, so naturally I've put in a little more effort."
Kawahara sneered, then raised his hand and took out a melon and placed it on the tea table.
"I also want!"
"..."
Sagara pondered and said, "But you have already given the "Bad Apple" to Takatora Gojima, so I think this is fair, since Takatora Gojima was the one you chose."
Until now, Sagara has remained firm in his position and has not chosen anyone, and the snakes of Helheim Forest would not have such selfish desires.
All he did was to balance the power of every challenger.
Kawahara didn't say anything else. He just calmly placed his palm on the melon. Suddenly, countless tiny vines spread out and covered the melon.
Then, in a flash of golden lightning, the melon fruit in the real world disappeared, and another type of locked seed different from the battle and energy appeared on the desktop - Honeydew Melon Shenghong!
A look of surprise appeared on Sagara's face.
“You…” “Learn it the same way you just did.”
Kawahara picked up the "Melon Katsuhiko Locking Seed" and said, "This is the power of Helheim Forest. Because you activated the Locking Seed without permission, I am directly connected to this forest."
There was even a hint of condemnation in his tone.
Sagara blurted out in disbelief: "You still say you are human?"
Kawahara: "..."
However, it seemed that Sagara's words were not meant to be a joke. As the incarnation of Helheim Forest, he understood very well what the power this forest carried meant.
When the forest chose this world, he just thought that the "black apple" was born as a result of the changes in this world. He was also curious why another black apple would appear after the "golden fruit" appeared in a civilization.
After all, the "Golden Fruit" is produced by the forest gathering the power of the entire planet, so the enormous power it possesses is enough to change the world.
If Hackintosh is the same incarnation.
Sagara suddenly said with certainty: "You don't belong to this world, but the Helheim Forest must have appeared in your world. This fruit was produced in that world!"
Kawahara was stunned when he heard this, then his expression suddenly changed as he realized something.
But Sagara continued to talk to himself: "But I can't sense where your world is at all, and without going through any battle, your world has already chosen the 'winner of the fruit'."
There is no doubt who the winner is.
But this situation was so strange that the snakes of Helheim Forest didn't even have time to seduce the contenders of that world!
Xiangliang felt a sense of reluctance.
Kawahara raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, then his expression calmed down again. He tossed the melon in his hand to unlock the seeds.
"Then you should study yourself first. Tell me the result after you finish your study. I will go to balance the power first."
……
……
After Kuzuya Kota left the dessert shop, he realized what he wanted to do.
The first stop is the World Tree Foundation!
"If you want to protect something, you must give it up. I will never agree to this hopeless rule. I will break everything you decide!"
Kuzuya Hirota stared firmly at the World Tree Tower in the distance and took out the Orange Lock Seed without hesitation.
『Orange——』
"Henshin (Transformation)!"
"Lock On!"
"Soiya!" 』
"Orange Arms!"
"Hanamichi On Stage!" 』
While transforming into Gaim, Kuzuya Kota also threw out a prop, the Lock Seed, and then directly got on the hoverbike and rushed towards the World Tree Tower.
The World Tree Tower possesses high technology that is unimaginable to the people of Sawame City. In addition to real-time monitoring of the entire city, it also has virtual space projection technology.
As Gaim approached the World Tree Tower, he quickly awakened the tower's automatic defense system. A simulated environment immediately enveloped the area around the tower. From a perspective invisible to the people on the ground, countless powerful firearms stretched out from all sides of the tower.
“Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—”
The laser bullets fired from the sky filled the entire sky.
An alarm also sounded inside the World Tree Tower.
Wu Daoguihu, who was working in the office, looked up in confusion, and the staff's report sounded: "Director! There is a UFO approaching the tower!"
Takatora Wudao realized something and quickly turned on the surveillance video.
Gaim, riding a hover motorcycle, dodged all the artillery attacks with agility, then jumped off the motorcycle and landed on the helipad on the top of the tower.
"What a stupid guy..."
Wu Daoguihu murmured something ambiguous, then stood up and left the office.
If the other party makes such a choice, it means that the two people's ultimate ideas will be diametrically opposed, and then the battle is inevitable.
Takatora Wudao will not give up this step.
……
As Kuzuya Kota landed towards the helipad, he quickly took out the "Katsudoki Locking Seed" in his hand and decisively used his new power!
"Kachidoki——Lock On!" 』
"Soiya!" 』
"Kachidoki Arms!" 』
"Get out of here immediately!"
boom!
It was like the orange-red armor of an ancient general stepping heavily on the ground, the several pieces of armor below the waist fluttering slightly, and two battle flags fluttering in the wind were inserted behind the armor.
——Katsuhiro Gaim!
Compared to the armor of ordinary fruits, Katsushika in heavy armor form exudes an aura of tremendous power. The armored mask is intimidating without even being angry, and the samurai sword metal ornament on the forehead has also transformed into a pair of scimitar horns.
At this time, dozens of mass-produced armored knights riding hover motorcycles had flown out from around the tower and surrounded Katsumi Gaim.
These are the guards of the World Tree Foundation.
After receiving the attack order, everyone focused their fire on Gaim without hesitation, and dense laser fire roared out!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Katsushika Gaim standing still was immediately bombarded with countless artillery fire, and the sparks and smoke filled the tarmac.
However, after the smoke cleared, Katsuoki Gaim took out his weapon, the "Matchlock Large Orange Gun", without moving, and after turning the dial on the gun handle, the passionate sound of battle rang out.
"It's my turn on the stage!"
Kurota Geye shouted and aimed his musket at the motorcycles of the mass-produced armored knights in the air. The pouring fire blew down the motorcycles and the armored knights one by one.
Even though the mass-produced armored knights launched another artillery attack, Gaim Sheng was not afraid at all and did not dodge or avoid it. The laser bullets from both sides intersected wildly.
From an angle that the people on the ground could not see, lightning and thunder flashed from time to time around the tower, but the sky was clear.
At this moment, a fiery red energy arrow suddenly hit Gaim's wrist, knocking the matchlock spear in his hand off target.
"Ok?"
Kuzuya Kota quickly looked over there and saw the dragon fruit armor standing on the steel frame on the side of the tower.
"It's you, Kawahara..."
"I'm quite pleased to see that you can cheer up. However, Sagara told you the existence of the golden fruit, but did he tell you what the price is to get it?" Kawahara laughed loudly.
"What do you mean?" Ge Yehongtai paused slightly.
"The battle between you has already begun."
Kawahara just said something ambiguous, then took out the Melon Shenghong Lock Seed and threw it directly to the helipad below.
Snapped!
One hand firmly caught the lock.
Zangetsu looked at the lock in his hand that didn't look like any fruit, then looked up at Kawahara standing above him, and felt vaguely that this battle might be over soon.
He looked at the Gaimu opposite him with mixed feelings: "Kouye Kota, you have survived because your friend sacrificed his life, why do you come back to get in the way!"
Ge Yehong said seriously: "It is precisely because I have made an irreparable mistake before, so I can't let this tragedy happen again!"
"Then there is no choice."
Wudao Guihu's voice became calm, he lifted the melon-shaped lock and activated the lock.
"Lock On!"
