Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

There was no food or drink prepared in the Time Demon God's house. Speaking of which, Yan Ming had seen Woz holding some things that shouldn't exist when he appeared a few times before.

So where did he get all this food from?

Where does he hide when we can't see him?

Putting aside this unsolved mystery for the moment, Yan Ming looked at the Time Demon's display screen again.

The images on the screen include footage of traveling through tunnels between dimensions, as well as various data and information about the Time Demon God appearing on it.

These data show that the Time God is operating at its best, without any problems.

We should arrive at the target world in about a minute and a half.

This is just as Wozniak said.

but.

Yan Ming's gaze remained fixed on the screen.

He saw it.

"...Woz."

Before Yan Ming's eyes, in the projected image of the dimensional tunnel.

There was one person who followed closely behind the Time Demon.

He appeared to be wearing... a tattered brown cloak and a bat-like black and gold helmet.

His body was wrapped in some kind of purplish-black particles, allowing him to move easily through the endless dimensional rifts with his physical body.

"Is it possible for someone to move around freely in this dimensional tunnel using only their physical body?"

"What…?"

Even Wozniak was taken aback by Yan Ming's question.

He immediately went to Yan Ming's side, but when the two of them looked again—

Nothing.

The person Yan Ming mentioned was not in the video, and according to the Time Demon God's data, all parameters were correct.

"My Demon King... what did you see?"

“There is someone following us closely behind.”

"This should be impossible... In this tunnel between dimensions, the human body simply cannot withstand such an extremely harsh space. Without the help of the Time Demon God, there is no way to survive!"

But even though Woz said such things, he didn't think Yan Ming was lying.

Given Yan Ming's personality, he would never casually utter nonsense.

So what exactly happened...?

Just as he was racking his brains, Yan Ming noticed the notification window in the lower right corner of the Time Demon God's window.

"It looks like we've arrived at our destination."

The Time Demon God passed straight through the exit and arrived directly in the corresponding world.

Nobody noticed.

A dark purple shadow also followed along.

————————————————————

The Time Demon has successfully landed.

but.

Neither Yan Ming nor Woz felt excited or happy about arriving in the new world.

"...this world..."

Fiery red.

The sky was like ashes, the smoke of death was like smoke, and the fire was constantly burning and never going out.

Looking out, all that could be seen on the horizon were the ruins of the city.

And the two of them stood on these ruins.

What exactly is going on in this world?

Even Wozniak couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Although Yan Ming didn't say anything, he knew very well that this was not a normal situation.

"Woz, is there anything recorded in your book?"

According to Woz, once you arrive in the new world, some relevant information will automatically appear in the Oma Tales - KT.

Wozniacki turned to the latest page.

"The place we are in was originally called—Fuyuki City."

He then read out all the information.

"In 2004, a war erupted in this city over the 'Holy Grail.'"

"The mages of this city, during the war, summoned seven Servants to wage war for the Holy Grail; this is the true history that should belong to this city."

"However... due to some kind of chaotic situation, after the battle, the city was engulfed in flames, and the people here, along with the city, went down the path of destruction."

"To this day, there are still no survivors here."

Seeing that Woz stopped reading, Yan Ming realized that this was all the information he knew.

What is the Holy Grail War? And what are Servants?

"I don't know. This is all the initial hints the book gives us. If we want to get more information, we'll have to work on our own."

Should we explore the meaning of this world first...?

Yan Ming looked around; all he saw were ruins of destruction.

In places like this, it's hard to find even a single intact building, let alone people.

"This is really troublesome."

But that's the only way we can do it.

Yan Ming and Woz walked together toward the opposite horizon. The closer they got, the more they could see what appeared to be a city structure in the far distance.

Although it was also engulfed in flames.

"A magician? Judging from the name, he's probably a magician who uses magic to fight... something like a magical girl?"

"The difficulty lies in understanding the true meaning of 'Servants' and 'The Holy Grail War.' To grasp this, we must take matters into our own hands."

Not long after they started walking, Woz and Yan Ming saw something approaching from a distance.

Its shape... looks like a person.

Because the flames obscured their view, they could only see its general shape.

However, the number is quite large.

"My Demon King, please do not act rashly."

"I know."

Even if Woz hadn't reminded him, Yan Ming knew perfectly well that it wasn't human.

the reason is simple.

Didn't that book say so?

"To this day, there are still no survivors here."

That means...

"...Those things, although they look like people, are not human at all."

bang——

Then they rushed over.

Emerging from the sea of ​​fire were skeletons dressed in tattered blue and yellow rags.

They have lost their internal organs and are in terrible condition, yet they can still walk upright.

Spears and swords formed from skeletons were constantly wielded in their hands.

And so it attacked Yan Ming and Woz.

call--!

The sound of a sharp object whizzing past their ears immediately separated Yan Ming and Woz.

Approaching the skeleton beside Yan Ming, he still wanted to sever his body with his longsword.

But Yan Ming turned the tables and used this point against him.

He blocked the monster's arm, skillfully disarmed it, and then raised his right leg, kicking the monster squarely in the chest.

The force released instantly sent the monster flying more than a meter away.

"My Demon King! Please transform and resolve this!"

Yan Ming did not speak.

However, before anyone knew it, the black and white Time Driver was already mounted on his waist.

The watch face in my hand is ready.

"Zi-O!"

Ignoring the approaching skeleton monsters, Yan Ming connected the dial to the driver and rapidly turned the driver body by hand.

"Transformation."

"Rider Time!"

A huge silver clock face appeared instantly behind him.

Then, countless silver dials enveloped it again, blocking the monsters' attacks with swords and spears, and even knocking them away at one point when they were hit by purple three-dimensional text flying from behind.

"Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

After the watch strap exploded, the time warriors dressed in silver-black armor descended upon this world.

Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Stunned by this astonishing display, the skeleton soldiers stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

But Yan Ming wouldn't wait for them at all.

Approaching with overwhelming speed, the Demon King's fists and feet were already upon them.

With a single, direct punch, he instantly shattered the torso of the monster at the nearest point.

Then, with the aid of kicks, the monster that was hit from behind slammed directly into the bodies of the other monsters, causing their skeletal bodies to fall apart completely.

"Finish Time!"

The remaining skeleton soldiers seemed to lack intelligence; knowing they were no match for him, they still relentlessly pressed closer to Xiang Yanming.

He pressed the button on the dial, turning the drive another full rotation.

"Time Break!"

Standing still, Yan Ming immediately swept his right leg clockwise in a circle, just like a clock.

The spreading purple shock completely shattered the bodies of all the skeletons.

No monster could survive the Demon King's overwhelming power.

Apart from…

Some monsters that hadn't initially targeted Yan Ming, but instead rapidly approached Woz.

Bang——! !

The monster attempted to raise its spear and pierce the man's body.

However, they were caught in the opposite direction.
