Chapter 464 Schrodinger's Poem Shima Tsuyoshi
Time seemed to have stopped.
The smoke that filled the surroundings did not move, and the billowing flames stagnated in mid-air, while the Kamen Rider Mach in front of him remained still as if being bombed.
"Are we back in Drive's world?"
This should be the battle that took place in Shocker City.
But when Sakurai Yuto looked around, he found that there was no Kamen Rider or Shocker in the entire square.
There was only a devastated battlefield and Kamen Rider Mach that was about to be ruined.
"How is this going?"
Sakurai Yuto looked at this scene in surprise.
Kamen Rider Kadoya walked to the car door and looked at the scene outside and said, "In a world where history is distorted, Kamen Rider Mach unfortunately died, and then the "history changing machine" created by Shocker was also destroyed by the Kamen Riders - that's right!"
Sakurai Yuto thought about what happened before and nodded hesitantly.
Kadoya Shi then turned around and asked: "So what happened to us afterwards?"
"of course--"
Sakurai Yuto was about to answer, "Of course everyone has started a normal new life," but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt a strange sense of distortion.
The most important factor among them is -
"Wait! Is Mach dead?"
Why doesn't he remember?
Kadoya smiled when he heard this, with a typical confident look on his face: "As expected!"
Sakurai Yuto looked at him speechlessly: "What do you want to say?"
"Your cognition has been changed by the world, but I still remember everything. After all, I am the destroyer of the world!" Kazushi Kadoya said slowly.
"This isn't something worth bragging about, right?" Sakurai Yuto curled the corner of his mouth.
"Anyway, I entered the Zero Train by accident after the world was distorted again. I wanted to borrow the time train and go to the previous time to investigate the truth of the "history changing machine"."
Shortly after Kamen Rider 3 disappeared, Kamen Rider Kadoya came to his senses and found himself standing in a deserted suburb again.
He noticed the memory problem immediately.
Although he had seen with his own eyes that Kamen Rider Mach died in the fight with the Shocker Monster, and Kawahara even almost blew them and the Shocker Leader together, the cognition in his mind told him at this moment that there is no such thing as "death".
No one died between them.
This is very wrong.
Even if the history-changing machine finally corrected the fact that Shidao Gang "died in distorted history", it should not be by changing their cognition.
It's almost like they're trying to cover up something.
And until the end, Mingtaki did not show up, which made Kazushi Kadoya feel inexplicably uneasy.
What on earth was that guy trying to do by planning all this?
What's the purpose of taking his power?
And was the history-changing machine really destroyed?
When all kinds of doubts came to his mind, the Zero Train flew out from the void, just as he and Kawahara had seen at that time, so Kadoya took the opportunity to get on the train.
However, he did not expect that Sakurai Yuto was actually interested in Kawahara's origins and directly drove the Zero Train to the past time and space of Kuga's world.
Kadoya Shi couldn't help but tease: "I feel relieved when I see that the train can't get through at this time."
It turns out he wasn't the only one who was blocked!
Psychologically balanced!
Sakurai Yuto frowned and said, "Let's put the matter of that person aside for now. According to what you just said, the history-changing machine doesn't seem to have been completely destroyed?"
"impossible……"
Kamen Rider Mach was frozen between life and death at the center of the explosion.
“It’s really been devastated.”
But something else was also started.
Kamen Rider Mach was in the center of the square when Kamen Rider Mach appeared in front of Kamen Rider Mach's eyes. Kamen Rider Mach was in the center of the square when Kamen Rider Mach appeared ....
The time in this space seemed to be frozen.
Caught in the explosion, Kamen Rider Mach seems to have nowhere to escape, but the real fatal crisis is frozen in time, waiting only for an opportunity to pull him out at the last moment, and then time will flow again.
So in this place, Mach seemed to have died countless times in "freeze frame", and also seemed to have been "reborn" countless times in time.
This is a box where countless lives and deaths are intertwined.
The moment the box is opened, Mach's life and death determines the future of the world.
So who can achieve this?
The first person Kadoya thought of was Kawahara.
In fact, when they just met not long ago, he always felt that the guy seemed to have some special feelings for "Kamen Rider", so at that time he spared no effort to help him to recognize himself, right?
With this kind of emotion, Kadoya doesn't think Kawahara can accept the fact that "Kamen Rider dies in front of him".
What's more, that guy has always been a bit mysterious.
Then restarting time to change the "death of Kamen Rider Mach" - it doesn't seem impossible?
In Kazushi Kadoya's mind, he recalled the golden gear in the dark space.
It's really disturbing.
He wanted to break the current predicament.
"So what should we do now? Should we leave?" Sakurai Yuto also came over.
"Isn't it a bit of a waste to just leave like this?"
Kadoya Shi came back to his senses and said.
Sakurai Yuto paused: "Then what are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kazuto Kazuya walking towards the center of the explosion. As his figure moved in the frozen airflow, he seemed to also move the flames that were strangely solidified in mid-air.
Then Kamen Rider Mach raised his hand and grabbed the arm that was extended by Kamen Rider Mach.
He tried to pull, but the person on the other side seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and could not move, so Kadoya simply turned around and shouted, "Come together!"
"...It's crazy."
Sakurai Yu said this verbally, but in action he just walked over and captured Kamen Rider Mach together with Kamen Rider Decade.
Kadoya looked at him with a smile: "Then let's use the power we just used to break out of the darkness!"
"I can't guarantee what will happen." said Sakurai Yuto.
"I think I understand~"
Kadoya said this with certainty.
Then they released their strength again, using all their strength to slowly pull Kamen Rider Mach's body out of the solidified airflow. At the same time, some subtle "cracking" sounds were heard throughout the space.
It was as if the box was about to burst apart by the huge force. The air around it suddenly became scorching hot, and the explosion seemed to become real energy.
Kamen Rider Decade's emerald green compound eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly turned around and stood in front of Kamen Rider Mach.
Then the next moment——
"Boom!"
At the moment when time and space shattered like a mirror, a deafening explosion rang in the ears, and the scorching impact force hit the body hard!
The unprepared Kamen Rider Decade and Zeronos were blown away, and along with Kamen Rider Mach who was dragged by them, they fell to the ground in a violent flame.
At the same time, the accelerated form of Kamen Rider Faiz appeared at the original position, looking at the three people who fell out in astonishment.
“It hurts so much…” The sound of Shijima Tsuyoshi taking a breath was heard from under the armor of Kamen Rider Mach.
Kamen Rider Zero fell to the ground next to him, stunned by the sudden flow of time.
Different from the dead silence and frozen space just now, the various natural sounds suddenly became lively from all directions, as if walking from an illusory dream to the real world in an instant.
He then remembered Decade's last move and looked up quickly, seeing the magenta Kamen Rider lying motionless not far away.
"Hey! Decade, how are you?" Sakurai Yuto shouted loudly.
"what?"
Shidao Tsuyoshi, who fell beside him, seemed to realize what happened. He looked at Zeronos beside him in even more confusion, and then looked at Decade who seemed to have appeared in front of him in a trance just now.
The flames of the explosion have dissipated, Kamen Rider Faiz came to his senses and quickly walked towards Kamen Rider Decade.
But before he had time to check, Decade moved his arms to sit up and looked around.
"I see."
If they hadn't interfered just now, with Kamen Rider Faiz's speed, it seemed that he would not be able to save Kamen Rider Mach at that moment.
What puzzled Kadoya was that he didn't see Kawahara here.
This place is not the final battle of Shocker City, but another battle in the city.
The Shocker monster who just dealt a fatal blow to Kamen Rider Mach has also been eliminated by Kamen Rider Faiz. Apart from that, no other Kamen Riders were seen.
Isn't it time to reboot Mach Death?
Did they go to the wrong time and space?
Just then, a panting figure came running from outside the square. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Tomari Sujinosuke who was also looking at them with a surprised expression.
"Decade, Zeronos, when did you come here? Where were you before?" Tomari Jinnosuke walked forward and asked.
"We entered the time rift and saw Mach..." Sakurai Yuto hesitated and didn't finish the second half of the sentence.
"..."
Kamen Rider Faiz looked at the two of them silently without saying anything, but just canceled his transformation and revealed a smart figure.
"It seems that you already know about the time loop." He whispered.
"Time loop?"
However, Sakurai Yuto looked at him blankly.
Kadoya thought for a moment and said, "Is it a time loop? I think I understand."
Sakurai Yuto looked at him again: "..."
Kadoya stood up and cancelled his transformation, then looked at Toma Shinnosuke and asked, "Before that, where was that guy... Kawahara?"
Toma Shinnosuke paused and said, "He went to look for a time machine."
"Time machine?!"
……
After the history changing machine.
It's time to change the machine.
This is also the real secret weapon of the Shocker Organization. With the effect of the "time machine", the world is about to be occupied by the increasingly powerful Shocker.
"As long as one of us dies, the world will restart, and our experiences and memories will also be reset - by the time we realize this, Shocker's plan can no longer be stopped." Toma Jinnosuke said solemnly.
"How could it be... So the history changing machine is just a bait?" Sakurai Yuto finally realized.
The purpose of the history changing machine is just to make one of them die in the distorted history, no matter who it is.
Because as long as a Kamen Rider dies, the real "time machine" will be able to take effect, and Shocker will be invincible forever.
And the medium that restarted time was because someone among them didn't want to see anyone die.
This feeling is unstoppable.
They couldn't even avoid the battle because Shocker drove the monsters to persecute ordinary people everywhere, and the Kamen Riders couldn't just hide and sit back and watch.
Once the number of monsters becomes too large, they will have to fight separately.
So the Kamen Riders died again and again.
"The node of the time loop starts from the death in the battle in Shocker Castle. We have been repeating this day all this time." Tomar Jinnosuke said solemnly.
"Someone's feelings are because..."
Kadoya Shi suddenly said, "Kawahara?"
He felt that only that guy could do this.
But after he speculated with confidence.
Toma Shinnosuke, Shijima Tsuyoshi, and Inui Takumi next to them all fell into a strange silence, and then the former silently shifted their gaze to the latter.
Qian Qiao was preoccupied with thoughts and said nothing.
Shidao Gang's strange eyes fell on Qian Qiao. The usually sunny and cheerful boy now looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his hair and didn't know how to answer.
Toma Shinnosuke took the initiative to explain: "No, the time loop has nothing to do with Mr. Kawahara. In fact, he was the one who told us about it in the beginning."
Kadoya was stunned: "Ah?"
"In fact, it is..."
Toma Shinnosuke said: "Takumi's thoughts are connected to the time machine, so he first modified the history of the person who just died, and then created this cyclical world."
So as long as one of them dies in the battle, Qian Qiao's feelings will restart the time machine.
After hearing this, Sakurai Yuto paused, then subconsciously looked at Kadoya Shi and said, "So you don't understand at all!"
Kadashi: "..."
Because Tsuyoshi Utajima's death in Shocker Castle was the node of the time loop, it was Kamen Rider Mach who was frozen in the time crack. If they want to break the cycle, they must accept the fact that Tsuyoshi Utajima is dead.
Although it can also make the dryness that causes the cycle disappear.
But this kind of either-or outcome is too cruel.
Toma Shinnosuke crossed his arms and said, "Takumi wants to give up, but Mr. Kawahara doesn't agree with him."
So Kadoya, who felt guilty, immediately perked up and said, "Oh, so it was that guy who forced time to loop. He definitely won't choose one of you!"
That guy always wants it all!
Although their memories disappear every time time is reset, as the number of resets increases, their memories seem to gradually become resistant to this kind of cognitive modification.
Qian Qiao finally spoke up: "Kawahara went to look for the time machine, but Shocker should have discovered his actions, so he is chasing us more and more frequently."
As long as other Kamen Riders die quickly enough, the Black Devil will be slower in finding the time machine!
but……
This time, the encirclement and suppression of Kamen Rider Mach was unexpectedly stopped by Kadoya Takashi and Sakurai Yuto, so Kawahara's actions were not reset.
When they were thinking about this——
"Boom!"
A mushroom cloud rose in the distance.
