Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Detection indicates a massive fluctuation in the local spatial plane! It's suspected that a subspace has formed somewhere, inexplicable by existing laws. Perhaps that black hole is sucking all the magical beasts into that subspace before annihilating them..."

Roman, unable to contain his shock, explained word by word, while Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka were also completely dumbfounded.

Not long after, Woz, having deactivated his transformation, walked back along a nearby path.

“I have carried out your orders, my Demon King.”

"Thanks a lot."

"It's just a small matter. Dealing with these mindless beasts isn't worth troubling a demon king like yourself."

Woz's incredibly respectful attitude and these words deeply shocked Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

Although it's unclear just how strong Yan Ming is now, but...

If even Wozniak, who is capable of such outrageous feats, says that everything he does is nothing compared to Wozniak's, does that mean that what Yan Ming can do is far more terrifying than what Wozniak can do?

So just how strong is Yan Ming now?

"What a wonderful performance! You're called Woz, right? You're amazing! I've never seen anything so amazing, not even when I was traveling with King Arthur in Great Britain!"

"To receive such praise from a renowned court magician is truly an overstatement."

'Suddenly you've started putting on airs...'

Gates couldn't stand Woz's behavior any longer.

"Now that the problem is solved, let's get to Uruk as soon as possible."

"Merlin is right. You'd better meet with that Hero King as soon as possible so you can get more detailed information about this singularity."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu nodded, then they both looked at Yan Ming.

"...Let's go."

After receiving Yan Ming's opinion, the group walked together toward the huge city in the distance.

Then, in a more distant place.

A figure hovered in mid-air, also watching everything that had just happened.

"So many magical beasts, all of them were wiped out in one go...!"

Enkidu… or rather, the person who possesses this body, is floating here.

He saw everything, and he already knew that it was all done by people around Yan Ming.

Just who are these guys?

"The Chaldea Master and Merlin are one thing, but those three... no matter how you look at them, they're just ordinary humans. They have neither magical power nor the aura of a Spirit Origin. Why? With just those few sets of armor, they can do something so easily?"

"If this continues, they will definitely become Mother's biggest obstacle..."

We have to come up with a solution.

Just as Enkidu was thinking this, he felt a stinging sensation in his body.

"...It hasn't fully recovered yet?"

The injuries inflicted on himself by that human named Yan Ming not long ago still remain to this day.

Although Enkidu's power would make it easy for him to recover from his injuries, he hasn't fully recovered yet, which gives you an idea of ​​just how much damage he has done.

What truly made Enki dissatisfied was the other party's identity.

Because he is neither a Master nor a Servant, but merely a human, he was able to inflict such severe damage on himself.

"...Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these things."

He waved his hand, turned around, and flew towards the forest to the north.

The most important thing now is to prepare a plan. It has to be admitted that those guys' power has now reached a level that cannot be underestimated, so…

Enkidu had no choice but to bury all the suffering he had endured so far in his heart.

"The next time we meet will be your death day... Shi Lun Yan Ming, I will never forget this humiliation and pain."

A cold glint flashed in his deep purple eyes.

————————————————————————

The group entered the ancient city of Uruk together.

Although it takes place in the Age of Gods, and during a time of war, however—

The city presented to everyone exudes an unparalleled sense of prosperity.

"…senior?"

"Mash, is this...is this really a city in a state of confrontation with monsters?"

The streets were crowded, and everyone moved in an orderly manner. The people seemed to be living a wonderful and fulfilling life, and everyone was enjoying themselves.

The entire city has been under threat of a monster invasion for a full six months, yet the people living here... show absolutely no panic and are still able to continue their lives perfectly well?!

"It must be due to the ruler's high level of skill."

"What...what do you mean...?"

Gates couldn't help but be curious about Yan Ming's words.

"It's easy to see at a glance that the city's operating system has always been in good condition, even during this time of war... The key to maintaining this is the monarch of this country."

"As expected of Yan Mingjun, he grasped the key point immediately!"

Merlin couldn't help but clap his hands, praising Yan Ming as if he were giving him a compliment.

"That's right. The main reason why the city of Uruk was able to maintain its glory despite the attack of the monsters is thanks to the hero king."

"Merlin seems to be quite fond of that King of Heroes."

Anna's words made Merlin laugh.

"I wouldn't say I'm particularly fond of him, but his personality is just... too unique, isn't it?"

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Gates didn't quite understand what Merlin was saying, but since he wasn't very familiar with him, he didn't want to say anything directly.

"Alright everyone, let's go meet with that Hero King as soon as possible. He should have been waiting for us for quite some time."

"Huh?! He... he already knows we're coming to this city?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, somewhat puzzled, but Merlin just smiled and remained silent.

The group walked forward together.

"Let's go together, my Demon King... hmm?"

Just as Yan Ming and his two companions were about to leave together, Yan Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Woz noticed this and came straight up to him.

"Is there a problem, my Demon King?"

"…No."

This attracted even Gates' attention.

Under the watchful eyes of Wozniak and Gates, Yan Ming merely... lightly touched his eyes.

His expression was one of slight amazement, as if he had discovered something new and interesting.

"I only sensed a little bit, something similar to what I feel."

"Someone similar to you...?"

"It's nothing serious. I can't answer any specific questions. Let's go... In order to confirm what we need to do in this world, we should also go and meet that Hero King."

"That's really strange, but if you ever need anything, just let us know, and we'll definitely help you."

"That's the idea, but Gates-kun, if we really encounter a situation that even my Demon King can't handle, then you won't be of much use to me then."

"What are you saying now? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me? Don't underestimate me!"

Wozniak and Gates started arguing again, as always.

Yan Ming, following behind them, also narrowed his eyes.

----------------------

This is a magnificent, golden palace.

It was so magnificent that it was unbelievable, and so enormous that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The main hall had no front door, but at the back there was a throne made of gold.

This is a Mesopotamian altar and temple.

Meanwhile, he sat there.

Blue and gold clothing, a white hat, and golden hair.

And, slowly opening her red eyes.

"..."

Simply by opening his eyes and looking ahead, an unparalleled aura erupted from this man.

This immediately caused the Chaldean group, who had just entered the hall, to freeze in place.

"Relax, you don't need to worry. Right now, that king will only treat you as guests."

Merlin walked in on his own, and Anna followed him without saying a word.

And so, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu nervously arrived at the very center of the main hall.

On the throne at the very front of them, there was an presence that could exert immense pressure simply by looking at them…

'This is the King of Heroes… He's truly unlike anyone I've ever met before!'

An unseen force enveloped the surroundings; without a doubt, it was the suppressive aura of a king.

but.

Although the King of Heroes looked at them... he didn't focus his attention on Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

Instead, he looked at someone else.

The trio... and the young man among them with black hair, purple eyes, and a modern-style outfit.

"...He is Shilun Yanming."

In that instant, Yan Ming noticed the gaze coming from the Hero King—Gilgamesh.

But he wasn't surprised.

As if they had agreed beforehand, the two exchanged glances but neither revealed their secret, and no one else noticed.

"Well, that——"

"Alright, enough with the useless nonsense."

Gilgamesh—the Hero King—rose directly from his throne.

“Siduli, take over the clay tablets I need to finish, I’ll be done in a minute.”

"As ordered."

A dark-skinned woman, who looked very beautiful, smiled and nodded before taking the pile of stone tablets that Gilgamesh handed her.

Then--

The hero king then raised his hand and unleashed a golden wave of energy from in front of him.

"Let's prove everything through combat."

"...Huh?"

"What is that? Listen up, I'm extremely pressed for time right now, I don't have time to waste with you! If you want to know or do anything from me, then show me your strength and let me see if you guys are qualified!"

Buzz—! As Gilgamesh finished speaking, an overwhelming golden light emanated from behind him.

The number of them exceeded fifty.

Countless golden wands emerged from it, all aimed at the two Chaldea members under Gilgamesh's control.

"Master!"
