Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

He looked ahead in surprise, blinked, and even rubbed his eyes.

The armed soldiers who were chasing after Touma Kamijou and the little Misaka Sisters all fell to the ground.

Not only that, but the transport vehicles, armored vehicles, and the guys standing at the front all fell to the ground.

Judging from their posture, it was not something a normal human body could pose in.

They are all dead without a doubt.

"What...what's going on?"

Gates, of course, couldn't understand what had happened; all he could think of was what these people had just endured in that brief moment.

He couldn't help but run to the people who had fallen to the ground and check on them... They had no pulse at all.

He was perfectly fine until he pulled out his belt, and then in an instant, they were all dead.

Gates was completely unaware of any change in the situation.

"Who...what have they been through? Or did someone really...attack them..."

If that's the case, then who could it be? In that fleeting instant, they could do something so easily.

Gates was completely baffled. In his memory, the only person who could do this, besides himself in his Gale form, was Yan Ming.

But if it were him, he should have already shown himself. Could he be a Time Jacker? But that doesn't make sense either. Even if those guys stopped time, I should be able to sense it...

As Gates pondered these things, he once again heard an incredibly loud sound coming from afar.

"What happened over there?"

Given all that's happening right now, Gates is too lazy to think about it anymore.

He simply attached the driver to his waist, took out the two watch faces, and instantly put them on together.

"Transform!"

He struck a standard transformation pose, and a blue-black hourglass spun and flashed behind him.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Geiz!"

"Reve Hayate! Shippu!"

A flash of eerie blue light appeared, and a righteous warrior with blue thruster wings on his back descended upon the world.

He took off directly from the ground, propelled by the thrusters on his back that spewed out blue flames, and in an instant broke through dozens of times the speed of sound, flying out of the city.

Nobody noticed.

A figure stood atop a massive skyscraper not far away.

He stood casually in the rain, letting the raindrops fall on him, and drank a can of coffee in his hand.

White hair, red eyes.

He slowly looked at everything on the ground, and after confirming that Gates had completely arrived outside Academy City, he went to check the situation on the other side.

After seeing that Touma Kamijou and the girl named Last Order were both safe and sound, he stopped paying attention to these things.

He no longer cared about those low-level armed forces soldiers who he had dealt with with a single thought.

"I hope you don't run into any major problems, otherwise... I'll have to clean up your mess."

One-way passage.

He gazed indifferently at the world before him, taking in everything that had happened so far.

And he has indeed witnessed these people grow up.

"I also hope that there won't be any more blind fools coming to cause trouble."

————————————————————

These people are soldiers stationed outside Academy City.

They were magicians of the Roman Catholic Church, a powerful force that had come here with the two Right Seats of God, ready to invade the city at any moment.

"I have a bad feeling about this situation."

"Not good" means... what?

"Lord Wind Ahead, haven't we been out of touch for a long time? There hasn't been any response since she entered Academy City!"

"Speaking of which, Lord Rear Water is the same... What exactly happened to them?"

"Don't tell me there's someone in this Academy City who can defeat those two monsters?!"

The conversations among the magicians became increasingly exaggerated and increasingly heated.

"Quiet! All of you shut up!"

So the leading mage, who was standing at the front and responsible for maintaining the formation, quickly and loudly stopped them.

He shouted, silencing all the magicians in their discussion.

"What are we doing here? Don't tell me you guys came here just to question the two Right Seats of God!"

"Of course not..."

"Then stop fighting with such narrow-minded thoughts! Our goal is to conquer this Academy City, not to spout nonsense here!"

As the leading mage, one must be responsible for the situation of everyone in front of them, so naturally, they must have a strong sense of authority.

No one dared to defy him, nor did anyone dare to continue to disrupt morale.

…However, even the leader of the magicians himself had mixed feelings about this.

'Lord Water of the Rear and Lord Wind of the Front have been gone for a long time. Although this is just speculation, is there really some secret weapon hidden in Academy City that can defeat them?'

Of course, he quickly dismissed this idea, thinking that he was a scoundrel for having such thoughts, how could he question those supreme beings?

The magician instinctively looked up at the night sky, at the dark night filled with dark clouds and raindrops—

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

"…wrong?!"

That wasn't a shooting star at all.

That was... a blue radiance.

No, in terms of speed alone, it is faster than light.

With incredible speed, the meteor instantly landed in the ranks of the Roman Catholic magicians.

"What? What happened?!"

"What happened?!"

All the magicians' usual well-preparedness was instantly shattered; normally, anyone could easily handle unexpected situations.

But when faced with this situation, there are no other options to resolve it.

A blue comet.

The moment the enemy landed, everything was over.

"Vanguard! Form the ranks immediately—"

Before he could even finish saying the word "come," the other party had already ended the conversation.

It's Gates after his transformation.

With extraordinary speed, he completely ignored everyone present.

Number of people, power, nature, defense.

None of it matters.

For Gates, time is the one thing he has no shortage of. By extending time, stretching a second into a near-infinite state, he can do more in one second than anyone else does in a much longer time.

Simply put, everything ended in an instant.

The Roman Catholic Church's powerful army numbered over ten thousand, even hundreds of thousands.

—They were all instantly killed.

Just like overturning the sand table in one breath, all the magicians were dealt with in an instant without any casualties. Gates was not the kind of person who liked to kill others casually, because it would not be difficult to deal with them again anyway.

All the magicians were struck with moderate force, then lost their strength, fell unconscious, and collapsed to the ground.

One second... no, it didn't actually take that long at all.

For Gates, the perceived speed is also only a moment, but if he wanted, he could make that moment feel as long as a year.

And then... what's next? Everything was resolved.

Gates watched the scene unfold with disinterest, all the magicians defeated by him and then collapsing into a mountain of weight.

"That's why I said there's no point in keeping these low-level thugs around..."

Gates then turned his head and saw... a flash of light shooting into the sky within Academy City.

I don't know what that is.

However, from a physical perspective, it seemed to be something very powerful.

"Hopefully, that guy will leave me something to fight with."

Thinking that it might be the only thing that could give him a little fighting back, Gates ran as fast as he could towards the city, intending to witness the situation there.

As for this crisis of the Roman Catholic Church invading Academy City?

Overall, the time it took to resolve the issue was just under a nanosecond.

Volume 5 of A Certain Magical Index: Chapter 205 The Water Behind, the True Strongman

This time, the situation is completely different from that of the wind ahead.

Yan Ming could clearly sense that the other party was a genuine powerhouse.

The nearby high-rise buildings were damaged as a result.

However, as Yan Ming rewound his time, the damaged buildings were all restored to their original state.

"So that's how it is. You deliberately chose this no-man's-land to fight me?"

The water behind immediately noticed that there was no trace of human habitation in the entire vast area.

There are unfinished buildings and abandoned areas all around, making it seem like a completely deserted area.

"It's absolutely perfect as a venue for warrior duels."

The water behind suddenly swung its arm, causing a violent shockwave to rise from the ground.

The force collided with the surrounding air.

The unfinished buildings scattered nearby creaked and trembled due to the impact.

The shockwave materialized as a physical force and hurtled towards Yan Ming.

But Yan Ming casually neutralized it without even looking at it.

Yan Ming gripped the strongest ultimate sword tightly in one hand as he fell from a great height, the tip of the blade enveloped in a purple stream of light.

At that moment, an even larger shadow appeared in the shadow of the water behind them.

It's a long stick... It seems he intends to use that stick as his weapon.

Using his magical abilities and battlefield experience, he immediately realized that the enemy's sword strike was quite powerful, but he still did not choose to dodge it.

The water behind him standing on the ground, and Yan Ming descending from the sky.

Their weapons clashed together.

In an instant, the floor began to distort.

Although the vast majority of the power was absorbed by the two men's weapons and bodies, the residual shockwaves still caused the surrounding buildings to be blasted open instantly, with countless fragments and rubble exploding rapidly in all directions.

However, this phenomenon only lasted for a moment. Soon, the rubble remained in place and then, as if rewinding, returned to the original building.

It was Yan Ming. In order to prevent excessive destruction from affecting the lives of ordinary people in the distance, he would restore the battlefield in time after each huge attack explosion between the two.

The water behind also noticed this incredible phenomenon, but unlike the people he had known before, he did not express any amazement. Instead, he chose to remain calm and composed in his battle.

He gripped the staff tightly, channeling power into it at the same or even higher level, and lifted it up like a longsword.
