Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

“I’ve been noticing what’s going on over there since just now.”

Considering that the opponent might not have any strength to deal with him at all, Woz decided to continue explaining.

"Your ability seems to be called the Divine Punishment Technique, right? I just checked the contents of the book, and it seems to be an attack that creates an indiscriminate feigned death phenomenon based on the enemy's hostility... That is completely unusable for my Demon Lord."

"Because my Demon King can manipulate time at will, do you understand now?"

Manipulating...manipulating time?

Just by simply imagining the meaning behind the name of this ability, one can understand just how terrifying its power is.

The Heavenly Punishment Technique? That is indeed a very powerful ability; for Wind in the Foreground, it is her trump card move that she is very proud of.

Whenever someone sees the face of the Wind Ahead and feels hostility towards her, the Divine Punishment Spell will be activated, forcibly putting everyone who is hostile towards the Wind Ahead into a state of suspended animation.

This ability can affect anyone, regardless of where they are in the human world. Even if the wind is on the other side of the earth, half a world away, this ability can be released indiscriminately on anyone.

Judging solely from the nature of the ability, this is indeed a very powerful ability.

Unfortunately, I met the wrong person.

Simply put, Yan Ming only needs to rewind time... No matter how many times her Heavenly Punishment spell is activated, Yan Ming can rewind time back to when he had no hostility towards her, or before the Heavenly Punishment spell was activated.

If he wanted, he could directly stop the effect of the Heavenly Punishment Technique.

The reason he continued to argue with the other party for so long was actually because of one thing.

"That spell called Divine Punishment can affect everyone in the world, right?"

Yan Ming slowly approached the other party, showing no fear of the wind ahead.

"I want to stop it completely and make everyone safe, that's why I spared your life."

"...You're dreaming!"

Perhaps they can't accept this reality, or perhaps they've already given up until they see the coffin.

Even though she knew she could no longer defeat her opponent, she still slammed the hammer in her hand onto the ground.

boom!!

This time, an incredibly powerful gale suddenly swept towards the enemy at a height exceeding ten meters.

Judging solely from the purity of the power, this strike seemed capable of destroying the interior of a building, indicating that the wind in front had amplified the power to its absolute limit.

Using wind as its foundation and spirit armor as its medium, this is how the ultimate weapon of the Roman Catholic Church unleashes terrifying power beyond that of ordinary people!

Bang——! !

Then, it was chopped up with a single cut.

Yan Ming still swung his sword directly, the powerful force transforming into a continuous and terrifying shockwave that instantly sent the wind in front of him flying away.

The aftershocks of the force shook the streets instantly, and countless buildings were distorted as a result, but fortunately, it had been confirmed beforehand that no one lived there.

Impacted by a tremendous force, the wind in front of him was blown away for more than ten kilometers in an instant.

But Yan Ming instantly stopped the enemy's time in the distance and brought it back to him in one breath.

"Woz, have you figured it out now?"

"Hmm... My Demon King, the book already shows that the pendant on her tongue is the source of the Heavenly Punishment spell. Destroying that will solve the problem."

"it is good."

Woz felt a strange mix of emotions.

All this time has been spent figuring out how to stop the Heavenly Punishment spell at its root. Yan Ming could have stopped the wind in front of him, rendering her unable to move, but he initially thought that as one of the powerful forces of the Roman Catholic Church, she should have sufficient strength.

…but things turned out completely beyond his expectations.

It's not that the enemy is too strong, but rather... that the enemy is too weak.

An attack that can blast through concrete walls… Even the destructive power of Zi-O's basic attack far exceeds the power to destroy buildings, seriously? A tank that could be easily destroyed with a single slash would be more powerful than blasting through concrete walls!

Of course, all of the above are Wozniak's thoughts.

For Yan Ming, he would never underestimate any enemy, which is why he would use Zi-O II to fight seriously with his opponent... even if the opponent was far weaker than him.

Now that the situation has been clarified, Yan Ming no longer needs to accompany the other party.

He ripped off the chains that had stopped the wind in front of him, crushing them into dust.

Then, time resumed its flow.

"—Puwaa ...

After experiencing a shock like his tongue being torn off, the expression on Qianfang Zhifeng's face instantly turned one of extreme pain.

Blood gushed from her mouth, and from the overwhelming force of the impact, she was thrown into a distant building, where countless piles of rubble crashed down upon her.

It appears to have completely lost its breath.

Yan Ming glanced at the silver dust in his hand, then casually scattered it, thus completely ending the so-called Heavenly Punishment Technique.

"The crisis is over."

"Crisis... My Demon King, no offense, but can't we have some ambition?"

Woz sighed somewhat helplessly.

"In my opinion, the enemy's maximum damage output is so low that they couldn't even destroy a single building, no matter how hard they tried. Such a weak and useless enemy doesn't really qualify as our enemy, so—"

“Remember what I said, Woz.”

Before Woz could say those words, Yan Ming spoke directly to him.

"No matter what kind of enemy you are, don't ever say anything like that to me again."

"..."

"No matter what kind of enemy appears in front of us, we need to take it seriously. Pride comes before a fall. No matter how strong we are or how weak the enemy is, we must always remember this principle."

Yan Ming's words left Woz speechless for a moment.

He clearly possessed power enough to annihilate the entire world, and his enemies could have been instantly killed with a single strike—

Yan Ming, however, remained neither arrogant nor contemptuous of anyone.

He always proceeded steadily, even when facing a low-output enemy like the Wind Ahead, he would still figure out the opponent's abilities step by step before defeating them safely, instead of recklessly killing them right away.

Of course, not all enemies need to be treated this way. As for those small fry in groups, Yan Ming would defeat them without hesitation.

But this only further illustrates Yan Ming's extremely humble attitude.

This realization brought Woz to his senses. He realized that he had almost led his Demon King into an arrogant state where he looked down on everyone.

"It was my fault, my Demon King... I shouldn't have said those rude things to you just now."

"It's nothing. I guessed you would say that from the beginning. But it's okay, just be more careful next time."

Woz sighed, just as he was about to go and check the remains of the defeated Wind Ahead—

He then stopped in his tracks.

Not just him... even Yan Ming was the same.

The two then stood still, looking around tensely.

—An incomparably powerful aura was rapidly approaching them.

"My Demon King, watch out!"

boom--! ! !

A figure that suddenly appeared landed directly on the ground where the two were.

Yan Ming suddenly raised his hand, releasing the energy within his body to create an impact that completely neutralized the impacts.

A figure, as swift as a shooting star, descended before them.

"...You have defeated the wind."

His deep, resonant voice was full of power.

Then, a young man appeared in front of the two of them.

The other person had a very strong physique, wore some kind of white and blue clothing, and had brown hair.

Tall and steady.

This was the first impression the man gave them.

Are you also a member of the Roman Catholic Church?

After hearing what the other party had just said, Yan Ming immediately stated his guess.

"Judging from your appearance, let me guess, you are also one of those so-called Right Seats of God."

"...Just as you guessed."

The man slowly walked up to the two of them.

"My original goal was to come here to retrieve the Wind Ahead, but it seems that she can no longer retrieve it."

“However… another companion of mine once informed me that I should spar with someone as strong as you.”

then.

An immense and powerful aura instantly erupted from the man's body.

"My Demon King, be careful! This person is definitely—far beyond the level of that Right Seat of God from before!"

"You may call me...the Water from the Rear."

boom--

The man's eyes widened in anger, and he unleashed even greater power from his body.

"Then, sir, let me see for myself... just how strong you are after defeating the wind."

Volume 5, A Certain Magical Index: Chapter 204 The Man Faster Than Light

Following the sound, Gates arrived at the scene.

Then he saw this scene.

"Don't run! Stand over there!"

"Catch those brats over there right now, don't let them get away!"

A group of men dressed in black armed uniforms loitered in the distance, seemingly searching for something.

"That's...!"

Gates rushed to the scene and witnessed everything.

He saw a familiar figure being relentlessly chased by those guys.

"Give it your all, this is your final masterpiece!"

"Misaka, Misaka can't run anymore! We'll collapse from exhaustion if we keep going!!" Misaka said wearily.

It's Touma Kamijou, and a... Misaka Sisters who looks very young.

Of course, Gates wasn't very clear about the Misaka Sisters setting; he learned about such things from Yan Ming and Woz, and what he remembered was only a very rough estimate.

However, he knew a little bit about it.

"Anyway, those two guys are in trouble now, right? Well, now's the time for me to step in!"

Regardless of why those guys attacked them, Gates wouldn't let the two of them be attacked by them like that.

There were many people like special forces, and they were also equipped with transport vehicles. A guy in a white coat stood at the front, seemingly their commander.

It might be difficult to solve with his own physical abilities alone, but Gates can just transform.

To deal with such a creature, the most basic form is sufficient.

"Okay, then I'll go!"

Gates immediately took out the driver, eager to transform and save those people.

— Things have changed.

Everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye; Gates didn't even notice anything.

"Huh...huh?!"
