Chapter 407: The Man Who Wants to Create God
Kawahara wanted to find apples simply out of curiosity about apple varieties. Since there was such an opportunity, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at them.
As for Zhan Ji Ling Ma, he seems to be plotting something bad this time...
If he has the ability, he can take on more challenges than Kazuto Kadoya.
And by the next day.
It was rare for Kawahara to see Takatora Wudao walk into the office with such a happy look on his face. There was an obvious smile on his face, and even his aura became as warm as a spring breeze, completely different from the stern and solemn director in the past.
Kawahara: "?"
He was transported across time?!
Kawahara couldn't help but say with a strange look on his face: "Even if you defeated Kuzuba Kota for the time being, you shouldn't let your guard down. He hasn't been found yet."
If an ordinary person fell into the water from a height of 100 meters and was not found, he would probably be dead, but for a Kamen Rider whose will is stronger than iron, he would have been washed down the river!
"Ok?"
Hearing the voice, Takatora Wudao paused, and seemed to notice Kawahara who was sitting on the sofa reading Sekaishu magazine.
He chuckled and said, "It has nothing to do with defeating Kuzuya Kota. I have already sent people to search for that guy. Once they find him, they will immediately control him. Speaking of this... Actually, I have always felt that you must have confidence in Kuzuya Kota."
It can be seen that he is indeed in a very relaxed mood at the moment. Wu Daoguihu leaned against the sofa, folded his arms, and smiled to the side.
“Is it really me that you truly recognize?”
"..."
Kawahara didn't say anything for a moment, his eyes fixed on the magazine in front of him, but his sight seemed to penetrate the paper and fall into the void.
Wu Dao Gui Hu then retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "However, since you have chosen me now, and I also want to obtain that power now, this will be fine."
Kawahara then looked up at him and said, "The golden fruit was actually born a long time ago. It is now in the forest. I will take you there."
The golden fruit that can change destiny——
Wu Daoguihu's eyes showed surprise, but before he could say anything, an alarm suddenly sounded in the office and the staff asked for instructions.
"What's wrong?" Wu Daoguihu frowned and asked.
[“Director, one of our crack cleaning teams was attacked by an unknown force. The wounded didn’t see the enemy, and we’re not sure if it was an alien or an armored knight.”]
The staff's voice came through the loudspeaker.
The cracks in Helheim are spreading quietly. Although some small cracks will not refresh aliens, they can spread the seeds or spores of plants in Helheim, which then multiply rapidly and erode the city.
Some of the people in Sawame City who are now infected with plant viruses are caused by these cracks.
Therefore, the World Tree Foundation has a special cleaning team.
"I understand. I'll send the file over later." Wu Daoguihu said in a deep voice.
["receive!"]
When talking about the serious matters of Helm's underworld, Wudao Guihu straightened his posture again and looked at Kawahara thoughtfully: "Could it be that Kuzuya Kota did it?"
That guy had blatantly said before that the enemy was the World Tree Group, so it was not impossible that he would attack the World Tree team in revenge.
"Impossible, that guy can't do such a thing... or maybe he can do it."
Kawahara's first rebuttal was an acknowledgement of Kuzunoya Kota's character, and the second was a supplement to Kuzunoya Kota's out-of-body thinking.
After all, Kuzuya Kota is not a very serious person. The first thing that guy wanted to do after getting the Katsudoki Lock Seed was to challenge the entire World Tree Consortium. After being beaten up, he might actually take revenge secretly.
But it is estimated that it is just a teasing, and he would not do something like hurting others.
Kawahara said thoughtfully: "With your style of the World Tree Consortium, you have made many enemies. If it was just this time, it might really be a prank by a disgruntled child, but if..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open, and Zhan Ji Lingma, wearing a white coat, walked in with a heavy face.
"Gui Hu, Sid was attacked!"
"what?!"
Wu Daoguihu looked over in surprise.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Cid for "handing over the Sengoku Driver to Mitsushi without authorization" during this period, the other party has always been working diligently for the World Tree Foundation, so Wudao Guihu also became serious about this.
He planned to go and see for himself, and also ask Sid if he had seen any enemy.
Zhan Ji Lingma watched Wu Dao Guihu leave the office, then looked at Kawahara who was sitting there motionless, raised his hand and threw a mobile phone over to him.
Snapped!
Kawahara took the phone and opened it, only to see the location of a certain address on it.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma propped up his chin and smiled while leaning on the sofa: "After releasing a little information about the World Tree, the Forbidden Apple couldn't help but take action. How about it, are you confident that you can get it?"
So regarding the attack on the cleanup team, it might be that their boss betrayed their information.
Kawahara put away his phone and said calmly, "You'd better make sure I don't make a wasted trip. I don't really like being teased."
Zhan Ji Ling Ma smiled indifferently: "Then after you get the apple, as a reward for providing you with this information, can you let me study the power?"
Kawahara glanced at him, then stretched out his hand towards him. Seeing this, Zhan Ji Lingma looked puzzled.
"Rose lock seeds." Kawahara said.
"..."
Zhan Ji Lingma paused and took out a rose lock seed and handed it over. Kawaihara confidently grabbed another prop, and as for the other promises, he pretended not to hear them.
After turning the rose lock seeds into a motorcycle, Kawahara simply stepped on the accelerator and rushed out through the French window, leaving Zhan Ji Lingma with the same stunned expression as Wu Dao Gui Hu was at the beginning.
He walked quickly to the undamaged floor-to-ceiling window, but the person who had just rushed over disappeared as if he had entered another space.
Zhan Ji Lingma touched the glass curiously: "What kind of power was that just now? Space? Dimension?"
As he talked to himself, he quickly took out the electronic tablet from his white coat and started checking it, fearing that if he was a step slower, the signal here would disappear completely.
When Wudao Guitora came back, he saw that Kawahara was gone, and Zhan Ji Lingma was squatting in front of the glass window, muttering something in a daze.
"Lingma, what's wrong?"
Wu Daoguihu asked in confusion.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma paused for a moment, then calmly put away his tablet and stood up, turning to ask him, "Gui Hu, who do you think is targeting our World Tree Consortium?"
"There are many enemies targeting the World Tree, but no matter who he is, it makes no difference to me." Wudao Guihu said calmly.
"Yes, that's it!"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile: "Gui Hu, you are so powerful that I have always admired you the most. By now, you must have discovered the more powerful power from the Helheim Forest!"
Wu Daoguihu didn't expect that Zhan Ji Lingma would suddenly tell him this. He stood there in a daze with a look of surprise.
And Zhan Ji Lingma had already walked to his side, and just like when they first expressed their ideas to each other, his burning gaze fell on Wu Dao Guihu.
I don’t know when it started, but Wudao Guihu felt that he seemed to be unable to understand Zhan Ji Lingma, but he never doubted the friendship between them.
——Until he learned that Sengoku Lingma had tampered with the Genesis Driver given to him.
But why? What is the purpose of the former best friend?
Wu Daoguihu's eyes moved slightly and he said, "I remember... you seemed to have told me about this at the beginning, because you have been in contact with Helheim Forest all the time."
He kept recalling the times they had spent together, and he vaguely remembered that Zhan Ji Lingma seemed to have mentioned something about the power of the forest.
"I'm so glad you still remember!"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma said with a bright smile: "Gui Hu, I can see that you must want to become stronger now!
"As long as we obtain the power of Helheim Forest, you will be able to become the most powerful being in the world and rule the world!
"And I—
"I can help you get to that position!"
When Zhan Ji Ling Ma said the latter, there was a hint of madness in his expression, and the burst of passionate emotions startled Wu Dao Gui Hu, but he did not care about what the former said.
"Now I really want to become stronger, but I have no interest in dominating this world. It will be enough as long as I can save it from the erosion of the Helheim Forest." Takatora Wudao looked serious.
"..."
Zhan Ji Lingma's increasingly passionate smile froze.
He suddenly became impatient: "Why? I have almost figured out the power of Helheim Forest, Guihu, now I can definitely help you become stronger!"
Wudao Guihu listened and thought for a while before saying, "Lingma, I have always believed in your talents, and I believe that you can be my right-hand man to help me achieve that goal - together we can save the world from the crisis of Helheim Forest!"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma: "..."
He could see that Takatora Wudao was serious.
However, the expression on Zhan Ji Lingma's face gradually faded. Although he still had a smile on his face, the light in his eyes became particularly dim.
Save the world or something...
Zhan Ji Lingma has no interest at all!
Creating the power of God by one's own strength is the highest pursuit of Zhan Ji Lingma as a genius scientist!
Long ago, he had suspected that there was a fruit in the underworld of Helheim that could rule the world, so the "Apple" was the first fixed-lock seed experiment created by Zhan Ji Ling Ma.
But the experiment failed at that time.
Although the Apple Locking Seed has gained the ability to control "cracks", it is a semi-finished product that will backfire on the user. If he hadn't seen Kawahara using the power of Helm's underworld, Zhan Ji Lingma would probably have completely forgotten about this Locking Seed.
After he retrieved the original data, he unexpectedly discovered that this lock seed seemed to still be used by someone...
If someone volunteers to be an experimental subject, Zhan Ji Lingma will certainly not stop the other party's actions.
Now he is waiting to collect complete data and restart the "Apple" project to create a power comparable to that of a god!
And the person who is most suitable to receive this power in Sengoku Lingma's heart is——
Takatora Wudao!
But the other party refused.
Before this, Sengoku Ryoma always thought that he and Wudao Takatora had the same ideas. The other party recognized and discovered his talents, and he also recognized Wudao Takatora's strength. They could obviously stand at the top of the world together.
Saving the world sounds so boring and naive. The world clearly doesn't need so many stupid and cowardly people.
Why waste time on this kind of thing?
——It turns out that they have never been the same kind of people.
Zhan Ji Lingma realized that there was no need to test him any further. He felt ridiculous in his heart, and that smile was put on his face again. He looked at Wu Dao Guihu in front of him without any emotion in his eyes.
"By the way, Gui Hu, can I study your new fixed-lock seed?" Zhan Ji Lingma abruptly changed the subject.
"Ok?"
Wu Daoguihu was stunned for a moment and took out the "Zan Yue Sheng Hong Ding Lock Seed": "Are you talking about this?"
Sengoku Lingma's eyes left and fixed on the lock. He raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "That's it, it's "Kachidoki", right?"
As he said this, he stretched out his hand directly towards the locking seed, but Wu Daoguihu subconsciously stepped back.
Suddenly, both of them seemed to be stunned.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma withdrew his hand and said, "I should be able to help you fully unleash the power of this lock seed. In this way, when we face Kuzuya Kota again, we should be able to defeat him with one blow, right?"
In fact, Wudao Guihu was also a little surprised at his own actions, and while he was still hesitating, Zhan Ji Lingma sighed again.
"Gui Hu, don't you believe me?"
Zhan Ji Lingma pretended to smile casually and said, "The person who gave you the lock seed did say before that he recognized my research ability very much!"
——Have Kawahara and Sengoku Ryoma come into contact?
Takatora Wudao couldn't explain clearly what he felt at the moment, but Zhan Ji Lingma's words "Don't you believe me?" seemed to have touched something and moved him a little.
So after looking at the Zhan Yue Sheng Hong Lock Seed in his hand, he handed it to Zhan Ji Ling Ma.
"Then I'll leave it to you." A faint smile appeared on Wudao Guihu's face.
"Don't worry~"
Zhan Ji Lingma responded in an ambiguous manner.
He stroked the Shenghong Dingsu Seed with his fingertips, and his eyes were full of impatience. He smiled and waved the lock seed at Wudao Guihu and said, "Then I will try my best now~"
After saying this, Zhan Ji Lingma turned around and left. Wu Dao Guihu stared at his back and slowly lowered his eyes.
After a while, Wu Daoguihu took out the pitch-black lock seed from his pocket.
I hope he won't actually use this power.
……
……
Kawahara didn't know that the Katsushika Lock Seed that he had only played with once with Takatora Wudao was going to be handed over like this.
At this time, he was riding the Rose Attacker and had arrived at the location provided by Zhan Ji Lingma - an abandoned nursery deep in the forest.
——This is the forest in Sawame City.
As soon as he approached this place, Kawahara already felt a rotten, damp, oppressive and dangerous breath that belonged to the underworld of Helheim.
He stepped on the weeds and entered the nursery, which had become dilapidated due to the erosion of time and the forest. The doors and windows had long since decayed and fallen off, and the mottled walls were covered with plants from the underworld of Helheim.
Although it looked desolate here, the messy lobby didn't look deserted.
He sensed someone watching him from behind.
"Well, let me see..."
Kawahara hadn't played with his phone for a long time. He opened the character information and said, "Zhu Yuetengguo, right? I heard that the Apple Lock Seed is in your hands. I..."
Before he could finish his words, a vine suddenly sprang out from behind a half-open door in front of him and rushed towards him!
