Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Lloyd and Joel were somewhat surprised, while Yan Ming simply handed them two bowls of steaming hot bone broth.

"Thanks…"

Both of them accepted the soup that Yan Ming handed them with some surprise.

Afterwards, Yan Ming simply walked calmly towards the edge of the distant forest.

"This person gives off a very...gentle feeling."

"She seems so aloof, but we've only just met..."

After solving the children's food problem, Yan Ming walked directly to the grass not far away and sat down.

Before coming to this world, he had already eaten a meal with Woz in the previous world, so he didn't need to eat anything else for a while.

More than food, he cared about things related to the world.

"A world where people are forced to become Kamen Riders and monsters, then kill each other, leading to the extinction of humanity...?"

Regardless of who caused this, Yan Ming will absolutely not tolerate such a thing that forcibly deprives others of their freedom and happiness.

Regardless of whether he had the task of documenting history for Wozniak's book, he would eventually find out who was behind all of this.

——Crash.

Just as Yan Ming was concentrating on these matters, he heard light footsteps behind him.

He turned his head and saw a cute little girl with pink hair approaching.

"It is you."

He usually maintained a cold expression, and in order not to frighten the child, Yan Ming tried his best to soften his expression.

Even so, the child still seemed hesitant to approach him.

“I remember Mr. Lloyd and Miss Joel called you Anya, right?”

"Yes."

Anya Foggie is an adorable little girl with pink hair and beautiful emerald-like eyes.

Judging from her appearance, she should only be about four or five years old.

Anya approached cautiously, her eyes looking like those of a little rabbit wary of a big bad wolf.

Yan Ming was left feeling both amused and exasperated.

"How was it? Did you eat your fill?"

"I'm...full."

As if recalling something, Anya's expression, though initially cheerful, quickly turned somewhat lonely.

"What's wrong? Is it because the soup I made isn't to your liking?"

"No... my brother's cooking is delicious."

The petite and adorable little girl quickly shook her head.

"However, Anya prefers peanuts, and it would be even better if she could have some crispy bacon..."

They have such innocent and naive desires, which is why they are children.

In Yan Ming's eyes, Anya was just a very lovable, sensible and well-behaved child.

But in Anya's eyes, everything was completely different.

'Why can't Anya see through this person's heart at all! She couldn't see through that man with the book either!!'

From childhood, Anya has possessed a unique superpower: the ability to read other people's minds.

She can even read the thoughts of animals. In short, whether it's her father, mother, or anyone else, Anya has never met anyone whose heart she can't see through.

This common sense has been shattered to this day.

Upon first meeting Yan Ming and Woz, Anya attempted to see through their hearts.

But neither of them can be seen through.

She had absolutely no idea why, especially about this older brother named Yan Ming—when she activated her ability on him—

You'll feel as if an endless timeline is pressing down on you.

Although Anya didn't understand the meaning of the term "timeline" at all, she instinctively had this thought in her mind, and she didn't know why.

So the reason Anya seemed somewhat afraid of Yan Ming was not because of his expression or temperament, but simply because of his abilities.

"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Yan Ming asked Anya a few questions.

"Have you, your parents, and those children been living this kind of life all this time?"

After hearing this, Anya's face immediately showed an extremely dejected expression.

"…Yes."

“Dad and Mom have to take care of Anya every day, and they also have to take care of the other children. They don’t have time to take care of themselves at all… Anya hasn’t seen her parents get a good night’s sleep in a long time.”

Recalling all her memories of life in this world so far, Anya felt utterly exhausted.

"Everyone... is being hunted down every day by those strange people in armor, while also hiding from those who have turned into terrifying monsters..."

"Why does this happen? Anya doesn't understand... Every day, the number of people around her decreases little by little, and the older brothers and sisters she knows gradually disappear. Every time Anya asks her parents if she will ever see them again, her mother cries, and her father grits his teeth and tells Anya that it's okay, they will definitely see each other again."

"But Anya knows... that she'll never see her older brothers and sisters, with whom she used to have so much fun, again..."

It's hard to imagine that these words came from a little girl who was only about four years old.

Yan Ming's expression remained unchanged.

However, his right hand was clenched tightly together.

"Ania".

Squatting down, Yan Ming took something else out of his pocket and handed it to Anya.

"This is a gift I'm giving you to mark our first meeting."

"Huh...?"

That was a cell phone.

Something made up of silver, red, and black.

Anya blinked in confusion.

"What is this...?"

"It's a cell phone. Don't Anya know what this is? It's actually something that came about in your near future."

"Huh? Something from the future?"

Upon hearing such imaginative words, Anya's eyes immediately lit up with a bright light.

"Wow!! That's amazing! Time travel!"

"How is it? Brother and the person over there holding the book are both people who can travel through time. This is a gift we specially obtained from the future so that we could see Anya. Please accept it."

Regarding the functions of the Faiz X phone, Yan Ming specifically locked the shooting function, so that even if a child holds it, it will only be a simple communication device.

"Moreover, this thing has a hidden function."

"Hidden...hidden function?!"

“Just press the number ‘5’ here, and I’ll find your hiding place no matter where Anya is.”

"So cool! Anya! Wow, so cool! (So excited!)!"

"Keep it if you like... and then, whenever you want to call me, no matter where you are, I can come to your side."

"Uh-huh!"

Anya nodded her little head excitedly, and Yan Ming gently patted her head.

"Good child, go play with your mom and dad."

"Okay! Anya will come to play with Brother Yanming again later!"

As he watched Anya leave, Yan Ming's expression instantly returned to its usual calm.

"..."

He stood up abruptly and turned his gaze behind him.

In the distant sky.

The giant red and yellow robot then plummeted towards the ground.

"So, in other parallel worlds, there's also an ending where I'm already dead...?"

"You're really a smart person."

After communicating with Woz, Kusaka Masato learned some things about himself.

"…boring."

"Hmm...? You're the one who died, so why are you saying things like that?"

"Those who died, I don't know what they went through to lead to this end, but the reason they died must have been simply because they were too weak."

Is such a naive idea really okay?

"What's wrong with it?"

While checking the safety of his motorcycle, Kusaka Masato calmly responded to Woz.

"I will survive and win every battle."

"Having made this resolution, I will never admit defeat no matter where I am... so I will not acknowledge those versions of myself that died in other worlds."

"Is that so... whatever you like."

Woz closed the book in his hand, which contained the history of the various worlds of the Kusaka people, without a care in the world.

"So... what exactly made you help those children?"

Just as Masato Kusaka was about to say something.

Then they saw it—

In the distance, a red and yellow shadow fell into the forest.

"That is…"

"No way..."

Kusaka Masato was surprised, while Woz's eyes showed pure shock.

"Gates... what are you doing here?"

Volume 4, Knight Wars: Chapter 72 The Dark Dragon Fang

The young man's name was Meikoin Gates.

Originally, he was a human born in the future, but for some reason, he chose to come to the era of 2018.

Finally, through the efforts of a certain demon king, the world and history were reset, and Gates, who had lost his life, was restored.

In one incident, he regained his past memories and also reclaimed his own power.

But one morning after…

His two companions seemed to have vanished completely, as if they had never existed in the first place.

"According to the upgraded Time Demon God data, the traces they left in the dimension did indeed come from here."

Dressed in a black and red futuristic outfit, Gates stared intently at the screen in front of him.

However, they encountered an uninvited guest as soon as they entered this world.

boom--!!

The driver's cab shook violently a few times, and on the big screen, several green watermelon-shaped armored vehicles rushed towards him.
