Chapter 434: Half the Power

This time Zhang Qiu belonged to going fast and returning fast. She only went for two days and returned to school immediately. It's just that when Harry saw her, he noticed that her expression was unusually complicated.

"What's wrong with you, Qiu?" Harry saw her appearance and didn't immediately mention those plans.

"It's time to take back 'half the power', Harry." She said slowly. "Only you can defeat Evolt. I only know now that Master and Uncle told a huge lie. I don't even know who they are preparing to deceive."

"What power, what lie?" Harry said with a confused head.

"Let me tell you what I knew before." She pulled Harry to sit down and opened the blue-covered notebook. "First of all, it can be determined that every Kamen Rider who wants to obtain the 'Fullbottle' and unlock the final form must face the 'Destined Enemy'."

"Ah?"

"Just like the relationship between you and Voldemort, every Rider has a 'destined' enemy, and the existence of the Fullbottle means that the Rider's power reaches its peak, so, usually, it is on the eve of the battle with the destined enemy, or even during the battle, that the Fullbottle can be unlocked."

"Then judging by what you said, it seems that you know the destined enemy of every Rider?" Harry asked with some doubt.

"Not all, the only thing I can be sure of is that the destined enemy of Ixa is the Vampire Queen."

"Huh?" Harry was deeply shocked by this conclusion. "Does it mean that the entire Queen Project is, but—"

"I think it is also possible that the causal relationship is confused." Zhang Qiu shook her head. "Perhaps because the Queen Project exists, the Ixa belt was made correspondingly."

"Only Ixa?" Harry calmed down a bit. "What about other Riders?"

"Not all, the only thing I can be sure of is that the destined enemy of Ixa is the Vampire Queen." Zhang Qiu shook her head. "Perhaps because the Queen Project exists, the Ixa belt was made correspondingly."

"This is too chaotic, what kind of strange divination is this?" Harry shook his head. He didn't hear what he wanted to hear. "However, you didn't mention Saber and your own Cronus."

"Saber is another matter, and my situation is also quite special," Zhang Qiu showed a kind of awkward smile, "there is another legendary Rider named Ex-Aid, and Cronus is his destined enemy."

"Ah? So you are this..."

"Yes, this is a villain Rider. Although the starting point is high, I can never unlock the Fullbottle." She shrugged somewhat suddenly. "No way, I was locked by Occlumency for too long. To obtain Rider power, I had to take this desperate move."

"Alright, it's not incomprehensible." Harry breathed a sigh of relief. "However, what is the situation with Saber? What is the relationship between this so-called destined enemy and the Fullbottle, and what does it have to do with Saber?"

"When I went back this time, I asked Master. I asked him how Saber should obtain the Fullbottle, but he said he didn't know either." Zhang Qiu took a deep breath. "This involves the true origin of the Rider system."

"What do you mean?"

"Before, I always said that this was a technology that my Master developed once hundreds of years ago, and the so-called legendary Riders also appeared when the Rider system was issued last time, right?"

"Yes."

"But I saw that photo, the person who was drinking coffee with Mr. Shoichi, he was exactly the same as the photo of Kuuga's transformer in the file, which aroused my suspicion: can the people of the last era really live to this day, and be so young?" Zhang Qiu said excitedly. "I went to ask Master, and he admitted it. He said he lied to everyone. The so-called Rider system had never appeared in the world. This time is the first time they have appeared."

"This is not right!" Harry immediately retorted. "If it has never appeared, why do you have such mature theories, and even this destined enemy, that obsession, etc.? This is too unreasonable?"

"Unless, unless," Harry suddenly understood, "it is that so-called lost civilization, right?"

"Judging from Master's words, it seems to be the case." Zhang Qiu let out a long sigh. "The reason he knows so much is because those are all deeds recorded by another civilization, and Saber is a new creation of ours this time. No one knows where his path is, so we can only wait for the guidance of fate."

"So that's what it means." Harry dragged a long tone, then still showed a puzzled look. "But even if this is a huge lie? It's just to cover up 'Master Xuanjun knows the lost civilization', right? Even if this involves some taboos, now that the Death God is isolated, is this still so important?"

"Eh, this, isn't this serious enough?" Zhang Qiu said with confusion.

"Is this very serious?" Harry shook his head with a smile. "For us, whether the Rider system is reappearing, or whether it is a record from a lost civilization, the things we have to do will not change."

"Eh?"

"We are going to ambush and defeat Evolt next. Are you going to participate?" Harry asked.

"Can Saber defeat him?" Zhang Qiu asked back. "Don't you think something important is missing?"

"As a Dark Lord, he can only be defeated by the Savior. No matter how hard others try, they can only weaken him. Only the Savior can truly defeat him." Zhang Qiu said seriously. "That's why I mentioned the destined enemy, that is, not only can Riders only obtain the Fullbottle through the destined enemy, but the destined enemy can only be defeated by the corresponding Rider who has obtained the Fullbottle."

"This is too outrageous, doesn't it make any sense at all?" Harry frowned. "Doesn't that mean that as long as that A-something-d doesn't appear, your Cronus won't be defeated? I don't think this is quite right, right?"

"Eh, strictly speaking, it's just a kind of 'restraint' relationship, especially since Evolt is already very powerful. If you can't use the restraint relationship..." Zhang Qiu added in a panic.

"Then who defeated Evolt last time?" Harry raised his eyebrows. "Which Rider is he the destined enemy of, do I need to become that Rider?"

"It's Build, but you can't become Build, and it's very difficult for us to find someone suitable to become Build." Zhang Qiu's eyes drifted. "I can only say, fortunately, this time Evolt extracted Voldemort's elements, which led to him being restrained by you."

"That is to say, 'destined enemy' is not the only factor that can form a restraint relationship." Harry touched his chin. "For example, you used your rich gaming experience to restrain Bellatrix, who is also Cronus."

"That's how it is."

"Then can I become Evolt?" Harry suddenly had a dangerous idea. "Evolt's formula is the Cobra bottle extracted from Horcruxes, plus the Rider system bottle, right? And I am not only the source of the Rider system bottle, but also possess the most special Horcrux. And if you didn't say it, I almost forgot. By logic, at this moment, I am the legitimate Dark Lord!"

"Such me, can I restrain that half-baked Evolt?"

"I have never thought about this kind of thing..." Zhang Qiu experienced a long period of dumbfoundedness before she could barely recover. "No, the main problem is that Evolt will resonate with the emotion of 'selfishness and seeking amusement'. If you don't have these qualities, you can't get resonance enhancement, so this plan is not feasible."

"Then what should I do?" Harry actually noticed another problem, which made him suspect that these statements were still in a lie, but he could basically determine that the person this lie was meant to deceive was not himself.

"You need to find the power of the Rider system, or rather, feel the special nature given to you by fate again, and manifest it." Zhang Qiu said seriously.

"Alright, I will try my best." Harry paused. "However, Qiu, can you tell me, are those things you said before your Master's original words? You didn't hide anything, did you?"

"No, I won't hide anything from you on this matter." Zhang Qiu shook her head firmly. "However, I did hide some other things, involving another secret, but I think this has little impact on the overall situation."

"Alright," Harry couldn't help it, he still wanted to say his deduction, "then I think your Master is very likely to have told a second lie, and the person he wants to deceive is perhaps... another person who also knows about the lost civilization."

But, contrary to Harry's expectations, Zhang Qiu didn't say the name "Donald" for the first time, but fell into deep thought.

"Don't you think this way of deceiving people is very familiar? Using the information gap of the information gap, just like that Valentine's Day last year..." Harry prompted again.

"No, I don't think it's that simple." Zhang Qiu shook her head. "I am starting to suspect another thing now, because I remember a saying that if a lie can't even deceive one's own people, how can it deceive outsiders?"

"Right, isn't this—"

"You don't understand, Harry." Zhang Qiu flipped the notebook forward a few pages. "Perhaps, another thing I have always believed in is also fake. And this lie full of loopholes at present is to guide Donald to suspect that that thing is true, then..."

She flipped the notebook to a very early page.

"It's not time yet, Harry." Zhang Qiu said softly. "You can only obtain half the power first."

"What is time?" Harry was a little annoyed. "Wait until Evolt evolves completely?"

"Maybe, maybe not," Zhang Qiu's smile became a little weird, "the real timing is when Donald is deceived." ===== CHAPTER 435 =====
