Chapter 48 Sometimes All It Takes Is One Unlucky Day
Killed the alien Faiz again. After bidding farewell to Woz, Ke Wen also returned to his office. He, who was still maintaining his demeanor in front of Woz just now, was paralyzed on the chair as if he had lost his strength. He will be killed by the alien Faiz Faiz put the eroded apple on the table, looked at the two conspicuous rust spots on it, and smiled wryly. By fighting continuously until it is replaced with the power of the knight on your body.
It has to be said that this trick is so ingenious that Ke Wen has nothing to say, unlike the previous conspiracy, it is a conspiracy. Even if you know there will be problems, you must act. When the strange knights make trouble, I have to take action, because of its particularity, only I can kill them completely, but every time I kill them, the strange knights will erode my knight power and continue to transform.
Until the end, I became a different kind of knight, and the other party became what I was, enjoying the flowers and applause, and killing my heart properly. In this regard, Ke Wen has nothing to do. The particularity of different knights can only allow Ke Wen to use the power of the corresponding knights to fight. Other knights can't even cause damage. , not to mention, ignoring the help he needs right now has never been something he would do.
"Replace me, be me, and then crush my soul? Then come on, you play a game of chess with your heart, then I will play with you with your heart, winning or losing depends on how we play, Manhattan PhD."
Recalling the idea of the Superhero Foundation that Kara came to talk to him before, Ke Wen also had some thoughts in his mind. Since they are all playing chess, let’s play the big one. He would like to see Dr. Manhattan who created a strange knight , how to deal with it. But at this time, Ke Wen still didn't understand that when he thought that Dr. Manhattan was behind the creation of strange knights, Dr. Manhattan was just helping, and his opponent was someone else.
Ke Wen, who didn't know it yet, also picked up the phone and called the office of Consortium B Comic Company in New York.
On the other side, Steppenwolf, the new god of the Apocalypse who led the birth of heterogeneous knights, was also sitting in the secret room belonging to their Apocalypse star, watching the Apocalypse mother box engraved with ten knight logos floating in the air again, belonging to Faiz The logo lights up, and at the same time, the heterogeneous Faiz, which was killed by Ke Wen and Woz before, was conceived again from the mother box. And just as Woz thought, the ugly spikes on this alien Faiz were also erased, and the wrinkled armor became smooth.
It's just that after this rebirth, the alien Faiz also let out a painful howl, then half-kneeled on the ground with his hands on the ground, the armor on his body wriggled like a creature, and slowly disappeared, revealing the appearance before becoming an alien knight. The middle-aged man William Moon, who failed to be a hero in the metropolis, was selected by the mother box after his death, transformed into a different kind of Faiz, and became the puppet of the Steppenwolf. Beads dripped from his forehead, looking at the man sitting there with horror in his eyes.
"What did you do to me!" The middle-aged man who came back from the dead questioned Steppenwolf.
Because there are three memories in his blank mind at this time, one is the memory of being shot, and the other two are the solo killing by Ke Wen, and the instant killing by Ke Wen and Woz just now. The feeling of losing your life is like a nightmare, everything is lost, no one cares about yourself, the absolute darkness without even perception.
"Oh? You have regained consciousness? It's really interesting, the power of this Kamen Rider."
Steppenwolf looked at William who was glaring at him at this time, and became interested. For himself, the test subject, the power of the Kamen Rider,
He still doesn't seem to understand enough.
"I said, what the hell did you do to me!"
For the Steppenwolf who was ignoring him, William shouted angrily again. The transformation that was canceled just now was also because William's excited emotions turned into tentacles extending from his body again at this time, wrapping it around.
[Faiz! 】
"Are you going to shoot me? Interesting!"
Putting down the dangling red wine glass, Steppenwolf also stood up, and had a one-sided massacre with this angry and transformed Faiz. In just a few minutes, this strange knight who had eroded part of Ke Wen's Faiz power was disarmed by the Steppenwolf, lying on the ground with his mouth and eyes closed, unable to get up again, and was unilaterally crushed by the Steppenwolf , William was also honest, lying on the ground, waiting for Steppenwolf to give him an answer.
"Well, are you obedient?" Looking at William who was being beaten honestly by himself, Steppenwolf shook his hand, and then continued: "Just like what you saw in your mind, I saved you when you died, and made you a success." No hero, I think you should still have memories in your mind, no thanks."
The words of the Steppenwolf reminded William of the first time he died, saving the little girl, and turning the guys who took his life into a pile of sand. At this time, he realized that he killed someone himself, and the feeling of being above others and depriving others of their lives at will is really addictive, and, while killing people, he can also feel the pain in himself. Something was added.
But at this moment, William didn't feel lucky. He looked at the face in the glass. On that plain face, it reflected his face as a different Faiz, which was ugly and ferocious.
"You call this a hero?!"
"Of course my child, what's your name?"
"William."
The Steppenwolf who got the answer also knelt down and looked at the mirror with William. "I know what you're thinking, you think it's ugly, but William, a butterfly is also an ugly caterpillar before it becomes a butterfly, and the process of being beautiful is never smooth sailing, you need transformation, and this transformation requires You keep fighting with Kamen Rider, keep dying, and keep being reborn, and finally, you will become Kamen Rider, a hero admired by all.”
"Fighting Kamen Rider? Why!"
"Because your strength comes from him. With him, you will always be ugly. No matter how many people you save, you will not be praised. Think carefully, William, what happened to the little girl you saved in the end?" How is it? Huh?"
Steppenwolf's words echoed in his ears like the whispers of demons, and the middle-aged man named William also recalled the memory he had tampered with. The little girl who was rescued by herself watched her massacre the group of criminals with only fear in her eyes, and the words she yelled were monsters, not heroes. Standing behind him, he glared at himself.
The policeman took out his pistol and kept asking himself to raise his hand and lay down on the ground. No one listened to his explanation. All he faced were cold guns and ugly words. Therefore, he was angry, and he killed those who misunderstood him and even wanted to arrest him, including the little girl he had just rescued, and turned into dust in front of him.
"No, it's not me, I didn't kill anyone, it's you, you're the one who killed everything!"
Looking at his hands, the middle-aged man collapsed, pointing at the Steppenwolf standing behind him, as if he had found a channel to vent, let the memories that came to his mind, the murders he committed, All dumped to him. It's just that he only saw indifference and sarcasm in the eyes of the Steppenwolf, mocking his evasion and evasion.
"Oh, I really want to admit it, but my child, from the beginning to the end, I only did one thing, which was to respond to your request and resurrect you, and the rest is your own personal will. In addition, Whether you agree or not, you have no choice."
"Why!"
"Look at your hands, you don't think resurrection is free, do you?"
Bowing his head, William also saw a little dust falling on his hands, just like the people he killed.
"Ahh! What's going on! What have you done to my body!"
The dust falling from his hands made William feel the fear of death again. He tried to pick up the sand scattered from his hands and put it back into his body, but it was just sand and had no effect.
"As I said, I just responded to your request and resurrected you. As for the condition of your body, in simple terms, you are a bucket with holes, and the life energy that revives you is only enough to last you for a while. , when the time is up, you have to absorb the life energy of others to replenish, otherwise, you will become like the person you killed, a ball of sand.
Of course, there is also a once-and-for-all solution, which is what I said, replace the Kamen Rider and let him become you, including the side effects on you. Think about it, William, you only need to sacrifice some people, and you can become a superhero in your mind. Flowers, applause, and the girl you like will all appear by your side, and all you have to do is one thing To fight Kamen Rider, now, tell me your choice, William. "
Standing there, the condescending Steppenwolf looked at this middle-aged man whose psychological defenses had been completely defeated by him, and waited for his answer. A puppet who only knows how to carry out orders, and a soldier with a clear purpose, what can be done between the two? The combat power displayed is very different. Moreover, he also wanted to see what choice a person who wanted to be a superhero would make in the end.
Kneeling on the ground, William Moon, this middle-aged man who had always been ordinary, was shaken. He began to reminisce about his life like a revolving lantern. When he was young, he was a little transparent in a class. When he grew up, he was a mediocre middle-aged man. Day after day, he became a greasy uncle. Looking at the well-dressed lives of those around my peers, and the applause received by those superheroes, I always think of a question in my heart: why not me?
Then the Amojo virus crisis, he was infected, he was cured, he had superpowers, he thought he could be a hero. Then, there was a shooting, a resurrection, and abusive words and threats. He had doubts again: Why me? Obviously he has superpowers and can help others, why should he die, why should he be targeted, since he cannot become the superhero he wants, then, as Steppenwolf said, replace a superhero!
Thinking of this, he laughed, he was laughing wildly!
"Hahaha! If this is the case, then there is only one answer, and I am the Kamen Rider! Transformation!"
[Faiz! 】
Countless tentacles stretched out from his body, wrapped him up, and wrapped William into the appearance of a different kind of Faiz again. But William, who turned into a different kind of Faiz again, had an inexplicable power that made Steppenwolf feel the danger, so he also smiled.
"Ahahaha! So, humans are really interesting creatures, so go hunting, Faiz, and become a Kamen Rider!"
He nodded to Steppenwolf. In the two battles with Ke Wen, he eroded part of Ke Wen's Faiz power, and he also left the secret room in an accelerated state, but it was different from before, the explosion of physical acceleration caused damage to the surrounding environment. The impact, the heterogeneous Faiz this time, is only speed. This kind of performance made Steppenwolf continue to laugh out loud, looking at the image of Ke Wen on the screen, and said slowly.
"So, what should you do, Kamen Rider, Ke Wen~"
