Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

The golden-purple energy shattered everything that tried to stop the Demon King's advance. Yan Ming once again drew his twin swords and unleashed a devastating sword aura in a swirling motion.

He wiped away all the darkness.

But it was precisely because of this that they were able to see the figure emerging from the darkness.

Volume 5 of A Certain Magical Index: Chapter 195 The Demon King Who Rules the Mirror World

"As expected, it wasn't something Swartz accomplished by himself alone..."

Now, in this completely dark world, he stands out from the darkness around him.

That was a deeper black.

A black shadow emerged from the darkness, and then its body was enveloped in intense light.

"Well…"

Yan Ming and Kakine Teitoku couldn't help but shield their eyes with their hands. The intense light illuminated everything around them, and the black figure then began to reveal other things behind it.

Six wings.

A pair of golden wings, a pair of burning flame wings, and a pair of black feather wings.

"We've completely fallen for their trap."

The demon stared at the two people before him, his face displaying only a calm expression.

It was as if they were looking at two dead people.

"That guy named Swartz is still somewhat useful. Forget it, the priority now is to kill you all."

"So that's exactly what happened."

Swartz never intended to rely on Kakine Teitoku or Another Ghost's power to kill him; he merely wanted to lure them here and then let this demon devour them.

Yan Ming stared intently at the figure in mid-air, using the internal system of his mask to adjust the saturation of the surrounding light to balance his vision.

"You're one of the demons too, then tell me quickly what your name is."

“I’m not as stupid as the other guys.”

The black demon had no intention of revealing its true name.

"For us demons, names are the most important thing, so... do you really think I would tell you my most threatening point just like that?"

It seems he still has some brains after all.

Based on his previous two experiences fighting powerful demons, Yan Ming thought that perhaps he could analyze the demon's true form and the nature of its abilities by looking at its name, thus enabling him to devise a battle strategy.

Since we can't find out the other person's name, we'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it.

"You will all die. In this space, the only one who can control everything is me!"

Then, the demon opened and closed its arms wide.

They saw endless black fluctuations instantly appear all around them.

"Even if you have the ability to manipulate time and space, you still won't be able to escape from this world, let alone with your inferior abilities!"

The black earth trembled violently.

Under Yan Ming's gaze for a moment, endless black spikes continued to rise from the ground, eventually piercing through the bodies of all of them.

"Don't touch the ground!"

As soon as he shouted that sentence, he immediately flew up from the spot.

Kakine Teitoku also reacted quickly, taking flight using the wings on his back. At the same time, huge spikes did indeed appear on the ground beneath their feet.

But Yan Ming's premonitions did not stop.

The spikes shot out like a stream of water, then transformed back into tiny spikes in mid-air, relentlessly approaching them.

"It's not over yet!"

Countless sharp spikes shot out from the depths of the ground, raining down on the two of them.

However, thanks to Yan Ming's reminder, Kakine Teitoku already knew what would happen next.

With a sudden flap of its white wings, an invisible shockwave instantly destroyed countless spikes.

boom!!

Relying on the powerful force of the Unknown Matter, the impact released by the second person crushed most of the attacks, and Yan Ming took advantage of this opportunity to jump forward.

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of the demon.

"Humph."

In the past, it might have been difficult to withstand such an attack.

But now...

Bang!! The demon erected an invisible barrier in front of him, completely blocking Yan Ming's twin sword attacks.

The invisible barrier reflected the force back, and Yan Ming was thrown back, but he was no pushover.

The instant he struck the barrier, he had already performed another ability.

"What…"

The demon stared in shock at what lay before him, as things that looked like cracks in glass kept flashing before his eyes.

A moment later, it exploded.

"You moved my defensive barrier outside the timeline...? Impossible! In this space, any spacetime-related abilities should be ineffective!"

Perhaps that's true. After all, even Decade's power has failed, and the Aurora Veil's power would be crushed in an instant once it's unleashed.

However, Yan Ming also has his own unique characteristics.

As the king of time and space, no matter what area he is in or what kind of enemy he faces, the control of time is always in his hands.

Even in any specialized space, time will always flow in his favor.

"Damn it... Don't get cocky, it's just slowed down your death a little!"

"Anyone can talk big."

Suddenly, the demon heard another sound coming from behind him.

Kakine Teitoku, who also possessed six pairs of wings, approached him directly at supersonic speeds.

He raised his fist; his body, though that of an ordinary human, contained an immense mass that nothing could shake.

Bang! The two collided with each other.

Even with such a powerful technique, it was still unable to shake the demon before them.

The demon's eyes widened, and it touched Kakine Teitoku with its wings of fire, instantly sending him flying.

Now it was Yan Ming's turn.

He leaped into the air again, and the demon curled his lip in disdain.

The wings of fire, like two long swords, cut horizontally from the left and right sides.

However, the attacks were all forcibly stopped in place the instant they were about to make contact with Yan Ming.

"too slow."

Time stops, then time slows down.

From the demon's perspective, Yan Ming's speed was incredibly fast, but in reality, it was just that his own time had slowed down.

Yan Ming suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the demon with his claws. The demon's entire body instantly appeared as if it had withered away.

Accelerating time to hundreds of millions of years.

Even so, it could only weaken the opponent's attack, which shows just how terrifying a demon must be.

However, Yan Ming never believed that time acceleration was a trump card he had kept hidden.

"Now's the time! Make your move!"

A pure white breeze swirled around the demon.

Immediately afterward, the faint wind transformed into a massive tornado, the white wind completely enveloping the demon's body. Just a second before, Yan Ming had already escaped from it.

"The ultimate Finish Time!"

He swirled his facial expression, combined his two swords, and unleashed a golden lightsaber over four hundred meters long, hurtling straight down.

The instant the lightsaber touched Kakine Teitoku's white hurricanes, the hurricanes formed by the undifferentiated matter instantly enveloped Yan Ming's blade.

The combined forces, originating from the high-heat output of undifferentiated matter and photons, maximized the destructive effect of the power.

"King! Giri Giri Slash!"

A powerful blow, seemingly capable of crushing the entire world, was launched straight forward without mercy.

How many meters did it travel forward? Tens of kilometers? Or hundreds of kilometers? It's impossible to calculate now.

Yan Ming was certain that the attack he and Kakine Teitoku launched together had caused real damage.

"it's a pity."

Bang! !

Just as they were feeling relieved, the darkness was instantly crushed.

"I won't die just because of this."

"What…"

Yan Ming and Kakine Teito both looked at each other with some surprise.

The demon hovered in mid-air, and the entire world transformed from darkness into a golden glow.

"The entire space is under my control, which means that whatever you do is meaningless to me!"

He suddenly raised his arm, and the golden wings on his back immediately shone brightly.

"May you be utterly destroyed under the holy rain of light!"

Countless arrows formed of light rained down in an instant.

Kakine Teitoku's eyes widened, and he hurriedly wrapped his wings around himself for defense, but in less than an instant, countless rays of light pierced through his entire body.

Yan Ming ran straight up to him.

While reversing time for the injured Kakine Teitoku, he raised his hand and directly stopped all the actions of the Rain of Light.

But this is not the end of the story.

Although the rain of light in mid-air had stopped, it affected the surrounding golden space, causing even more rain of light to emerge.

Moreover, they are more numerous and denser.

No matter how Yan Ming tried to stop, dissipate, or even slow their speed to less than a fraction of a billionth, the overwhelming number still rained down on them at an infinite rate.

"If this continues, we'll be doomed sooner or later!"

Even with the aid of time manipulation, none of the operations—whether it's stopping, accelerating, slowing down time, or throwing the attack off the timeline—can solve the fundamental problem in this situation.

The power of the Rain of Light is immense, but what's even more terrifying is...

"If my calculations are correct, the temperature of just one of them must be at least 500,000 degrees Celsius."

"...How did you calculate such a precise number?"

"Any level five superpowered person can basically do this. If they can't, it just means they're too useless."

"Now is not the time for you to be proud..."

Even if they learned of this from Kakine Teitoku, it would only mean they died knowing the truth.

…wrong.

Yan Ming suddenly thought of something.

Light... If there is light, it means that shadows can be projected here.

"That guy just said that as long as we stay in this space, everything is under his control, right?"
