Chapter 418 Each choice
Swah——
In a cake shop in Sawame City.
Kuzuya Kota started up from his dying position on the sofa in the booth, as if he had encountered a trap. He stared blankly with his eyes wide open and breathing rapidly.
"what?"
It seems like someone heard the noise here.
Then a muscular man with a turban on his head, wearing a gorgeous and wild leopard-print outfit and seductive female makeup came over from the corner.
"Wake up, kid! You're so lucky!"
The muscular man who said this was Huang Lian, the owner of the Western cake shop Charmant, and also the transformer of Durian Armored Knight.
Kuzuya Kota came back to his senses: "Are you the uncle from Charmant? But why am I here? I..."
Something vaguely flashed through his mind.
It seems like he was defeated by Zangetsu...
"Let me be clear, I don't mean to save a brat like you!"
Huang Lian then said slowly, "It was that kid, Jononei, who saw you lying on the shore, so he took the initiative to bring you here. Now that you're awake, get out of here!"
Ge Yehong looked at him blankly.
Perhaps because he looked too pitiful when he was at a loss, Huang Lian did not drive him away directly. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and shouted at him in a low and delicate voice.
"Hey, you don't want to stay here, do you?"
"...!"
Ge Ye Hongtai shuddered and came back to his senses.
He quickly tried to get up from the sofa, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his body. He groaned in pain and staggered back to sit down.
Jonouchi Hideyasu leaned against the corner pillar and said, "Sit down first. You are seriously injured."
Kuzuya Hirotaka rubbed his shoulders and turned to look at him.
"Moreover, during this period, not only did the Qiwen Kaito of the Baron team disappear, but the captain and vice-captain of the Gaim team were also missing, and even Wu Dao and Gao Si Mai from your team were missing..."
Jonouchi Hideyasu raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, looked at him inquiringly and asked, "What happened between the hip-hop knights?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Huang Lian.
"Have you finished your task today? I tell you, what those little ghosts did has nothing to do with you now. Go back and practice for me!" Huang Lian scolded angrily with a frown.
"oh oh……"
So before he could even pretend for a second, Hideyasu Jonouchi was immediately exposed and went back to wipe the table with a rag, muttering.
Huang Lian immediately said to Kuzuya Kota in a bad mood: "You little brats have turned the whole city of Zema upside down. I rarely have customers coming! If it weren't for the "alien games" you played that summoned monsters, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
"Why are you still talking about this? Those aliens are here because of the World Tree Consortium's concealment..." Ge Ye Hongtai said helplessly.
But when he mentioned the World Tree Foundation, his previous experiences became completely clear in his mind.
——Helheim Forest will gradually merge with the entire earth. If human civilization cannot overcome the test of the forest, then the ending will probably be the same as that of the forgotten ruins of civilization.
Only the golden fruit can end all this.
And Takatora Wudao seems to be fighting to seize the "Golden Fruit", but what will be the fate of the humans he decides?
Thinking back to the battle with Wudao Guihu, the other party's indescribable determination to do everything, and then thinking about what the World Tree Foundation has been doing all along -
Kuzuya Kota had a bad feeling in his heart.
He jumped up again, and this time he didn't care about the pain in his body. He held on to the wall and ran out quickly.
“Eh? Eh—”
Huang Lian was caught off guard and was frightened by his posture. She quickly moved to the side and narrowly avoided being hit by this guy.
Jonouchi Hideyasu, who was behind the bar, heard the noise and turned around, and was a little surprised for a moment, but when he saw Kuzuno Kota staggering as if he was about to do something, he hesitated for a moment before putting down the rag and running out of the store.
Huang Lian was completely shocked and quickly chased after him: "Kid, stop right there! - Just try to walk out of this store!"
Jonouchi Hideo, who had already run to the door, paused, then turned around and looked at him and said hesitantly: "Master Huanglian, I... I used to be a member of the street dance troupe!"
Huang Lian was stunned when she heard this.
And Shironouchi Hideyasu seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I was really a bastard before. I always followed the crowd without pursuing my own goals, and even abandoned my former friends... That's why I came to Master Huanglian, wanting such a powerful person like you to train me! Now, it is because of Master Huanglian's teachings that I don't want to be a coward at this time, because I am also a member of the street dance group!"
After mustering up the courage to say these words, he looked at Huang Lian who was stunned, then Jonouchi Hideyasu turned around and chased in the direction where Kuzuya Kota left.
Watching his receding back, Huang Lian slowly folded her arms, her face showing a look of helpless relief and seriousness.
“This kid has actually grown up a bit.”
……
……
Ge Yehongtai walked forward in a trance, and suddenly noticed that the light around him became brighter. The familiar atmosphere that seemed to be overexposed made him pause.
He suddenly looked back and saw the blonde girl in a white dress standing there.
The girl's expression was calm and even a little indifferent, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. She just stood not far away and looked at him quietly.
"dance……"
Ge Yehongtai called out in a hesitant voice.
Then a faint smile slowly appeared on the girl's face, and she walked over, but her figure flickered as if she was traveling through different spaces.
"Kota, do you want to fight?"
A faint voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Kuzuya Kota turned his head again and saw the girl's figure appeared beside him.
Kuzuya Hirota nodded: "I can't let this world be destroyed. Whether it's you... or everyone living here, they are all people I want to protect!"
“But if you continue to move forward, you will never be able to go back to your previous life.” The Daughter of Origin said in a depressed voice.
"I understand - but if I don't go, I will definitely regret it even more!" Ge Ye Hongtai's eyes were firm.
"..."
The Daughter of Origin looked at him quietly for a long time, then closed her eyes slightly. When she opened them again, she raised her hand and pointed at him.
The girl's dark red right eye glowed faintly.
"Since you've made your decision, I'll leave everyone in this world to you - Kota!"
After these decisive words were spoken, Ge Ye Hongtai was suddenly struck by a force. As he lost consciousness and fell backwards, scenes of the dream world gradually flashed in his mind.
A strong light burst out all around in an instant!
The Daughter of Origin seemed to sense some threat. She suddenly looked up at the sky and seemed to see a huge gear flash by in a dazzling white light.
That is the power that can erase her——
what?
This dreamlike sense of crisis soon disappeared. The Daughter of Origin was stunned for a moment before coming to her senses and then turned around and left the space.
……
Before Jonouchi Hideyasu could chase far, he met Kuzunoba Kota who had fallen on the road again.
This guy's injuries were really serious. At that time, Jonouchi Hideyasu was on his way out to buy things, and suddenly he saw someone lying by the river, and when he got closer he found out that it was Kuzuha Kota from the Gaim Team.
Although he is no longer in the street dance group, he was once a member of this group. He has been secretly paying attention to the rumors about the street dance group and foreigners that have been circulating in Sawama City recently.
It seems that without anyone noticing, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Sawame City.
Jonouchi Hideyasu sighed, walked forward and helped Kuzuba Kota up, but the latter also woke up at this time.
"How do you feel?" asked Shironouchi Hideyasu.
"I……"
Ge Yehongtai seemed to have just come back to his senses from a dream, with a dazed look in his eyes, but his confusion soon turned into a more resolute will.
He pushed Jonouchi Hideyasu away and said, "Thank you, I'm fine. I have to go to Helheim right now..."
As he said this, Kuzuya Kota took just two steps and stumbled again. Jonouchi Hideyasu quickly stepped forward and held his arm.
"Are you going to the forest of aliens? And what exactly happened to your street dance group during this period of time?" Jonouchi Hideyasu asked tentatively.
"The final battle takes place there. If we don't go there quickly, I..." Ge Ye Hongtai was very anxious.
"Fight? Why? But you're in no condition to fight now!" Jonouchi Hideyasu frowned.
"Even so, I can't give up!"
Ge Ye Hongtai gritted his teeth, pushed him away again and continued to stagger forward. In the distance stood a steel tower like a towering tree.
Hideyasu Jonouchi looked at his back with helplessness on his face. At this moment, a mechanical roar came from behind them. He turned around and saw a cherry blossom pink motorcycle coming towards them.
Huang Lian stopped in front of Ge Ye Hong Tai and said, "You little brats are really a headache when you get stubborn. Come on, kid. I'll give you a ride!"
Kuzuya Kota looked at him in surprise.
After all, Huanglian has been against the Street Dance Group since she became the Armored Knight, and she has a very big prejudice against them. I didn't expect that she would help him at this time.
But Kuzuya Kota was just curious about this and sat on the back of the motorcycle without any hesitation.
The Sakura Hurricane sailed away, and Huang Lian's voice came from afar -
"The door is not locked, go back to watch the store!"
"Master Huanglian..."
Hideyasu Jonouchi stared blankly at them disappearing at the end of the road, then a smile appeared on his face, and he turned around resignedly and returned to the pastry shop.
After giving up being a hip-hop knight, that place has become his current home - and perhaps it will also be his new long-term home in the future.
……
……
In the underworld forest of Helheim.
Mitsumi Wudao and Mai Takashi were traveling through the damp and dim forest. He didn't know the correct direction, so he could only try his luck to reach the crevice.
“Mitsushi…”
Gao Siwu, who was following behind, hesitated to speak at this time, but just as she opened her mouth, a strange roar came from behind a tree not far away.
——It’s an alien monster!
It was a goat alien with a body like lava and twisted horns on its head!
"Sister Xiaowu, hurry up!"
Wu Daoguang's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled Gao Siwu and turned to run, and the goat alien that discovered them also chased after them with a roar!
The two of them immediately ran wildly in the forest full of grass and trees. With his other hand, Mitsumasa Wudao took out the grape locking seeds and activated them continuously, but no cracks or summoned aliens appeared.
"hateful……"
Wu Daoguang's face was distorted. Humans could not outrun the alien monsters at all. He looked back at Gao Siwu who looked terrified.
"Sister Xiaowu, let's run separately. I will lead this alien away!"
"What--?!"
Before the shocked Takashi Mai could react, Wu Dao Guang Shi had already let go of her and ran back, picking up a branch from the ground.
The goat alien had already caught up with him.
Snapped!
Then the branch broke with a sound, and Mitsumasa Wudao was slapped away by the goat alien.
"Guangshi——"
Kouji Mai, who stayed where she was, shouted in worry.
Mitsumi Wudao, who fell to the ground, quickly got up, picked up a stone nearby and threw it at the goat alien, which immediately attracted the monster's anger.
The pair of ferocious scarlet eyes stared at him viciously, and Wu Daoguang could not help but step back in fear. The next moment, the goat alien pounced on him!
Bang!
Wu Daoguang quickly rolled to the side to avoid it, and without stopping for a moment, he got up and ran in the opposite direction.
As he walked forward, he looked back to observe the situation behind him, and before he knew it, the originally dimly lit forest suddenly became overexposed.
Then, in a trance, Wu Daoguang saw a familiar white figure standing not far away.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Sister Xiao Wu?!"
The Daughter of Origin looked at him calmly: "Guang Shi, why did you come back? Do you still want to continue fighting?"
"I……"
Wu Daoguang was stunned.
He didn't understand why Gao Siwu became like this, but he seemed to be aware of something, and the expression on his face gradually became firm.
"Yes, I want to fight!"
Wu Daoguang said seriously: "If I don't have strength, I can't protect anything! And if I can't even protect myself, let alone you and Kota-ge, so I must fight!"
"Is this what you fought for?"
"I……"
Wu Daoguang was stunned for a moment.
The Daughter of Origin raised her lips slightly: "Guang Shi, you still have a long life ahead of you, and there will be many, many things that need you to protect, so keep going."
Upon hearing this, Wu Daoguang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled the last words that Kuzuya Kota said in the dream world. In a trance, he even felt as if he couldn't distinguish reality.
After saying that, the Daughter of Origin stretched out her hand towards him, and the shining white light instantly occupied his entire vision.
When Wu Daoming came to his senses, he suddenly realized something and looked down, only to see that he was wearing the familiar Sengoku driver around his waist.
He then looked towards Takashi Mai's location, but the familiar yet unfamiliar blonde girl had disappeared.
"Sister Xiaowu..."
Time seemed to have resumed its flow, and the goat alien that had just been chasing behind him rushed up again with a roar, but at this moment, Mitsumi Wudao did not continue to run away.
He looked at the monster fiercely and activated the grape locking seed in his hand without hesitation!
"Lock On!"
