Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Most of them were just pythons, monkeys, and birds; not even a single magical beast was found.

"No, the fact that we can't find any monsters is already very strange."

Yan Ming knew that magical beasts were not rare in this era, let alone now that Gorgon was releasing magical beasts everywhere, so they should be able to be seen everywhere. How could he not find magical beasts in this forest?

wow-

At that moment, he heard a sound coming from behind him.

Turning his head slightly, Yan Ming sensed that something... was watching him from behind.

No, that's not an animal.

"people?"

A figure parted the bushes behind him and looked at him.

When the other party realized that Yan Ming had discovered him, he immediately turned around and left quickly.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Yan Ming walked directly to his original spot.

This seems to be a road…

Continuing along this path deeper into the forest, one discovers an even more expansive land.

Its sheer size... it's practically a city hidden in the rainforest.

"There's actually a place like this?"

The massive city structure looks very similar to that of Uruk, the only difference being that it's located in a forest.

Yan Ming walked to the center of the city and saw several huge characters written on a stone slab nearby.

Although he wasn't very proficient in the linguistics related to Sumerian civilization, he had no problem understanding the text in front of him.

…The city's name is Ur.

For a moment, he thought of someone among the Time Robbers, but more so of the name of an ancient city in the Mesopotamian civilization.

He looked around the city and discovered something even stranger.

Countless people hid behind their houses, peeking at him from there, but none dared to come out.

"Again, more outsiders have come here..."

"That goddess will find out, won't she?! But who knows what she'll do to us then!"

"Quite a few people have already been sacrificed. Although that guy protected us from the monsters' attacks, but..."

"What a pitiful child, he looks to be only in his early twenties, yet he's come to a hell like Ur!"

After finishing their discussion, the people looked ahead again—

"Huh...?"

People blinked in surprise.

Where did that person who was standing over there go? How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Whoaaaaaah—!!"

Suddenly, someone behind them shouted in a panic, and everyone turned around.

But they saw that the person who was supposed to be standing in the center of the open space had run directly behind them.

"Yes, when did you appear here?!"

Yan Ming glanced around at everyone in front of him; some of them were even so frightened by his action that they fell to the ground.

He slowly approached some of them, who kept retreating on the ground, even being forced all the way to the edge of the building's wall.

"Calm down, I won't do anything bad to you."

"No, that's not how it works! You don't understand at all!"

These people... seemed very unstable, but they didn't seem to be afraid of me.

The person in front of him looked at Yan Ming with a very panicked expression. He slowly squatted down and looked directly at the person in front of him.

"Tell me, what's going on in this city? What's happened here?"

"...Didn't you know?"

The man in front of him stared at Yan Ming in utter astonishment.

"You...you're from Uruk, aren't you? I knew...you had no idea there's a goddess around here. If she saw you, she would definitely subject you to unimaginable torture!"

goddess?

Upon hearing this word, Yan Ming immediately began to ponder.

"The goddess you're talking about, could it be...?"

Boom—!!

Just as he was about to ask the other party, an even more violent fluctuation erupted from the distant woods.

Something kept flying out from a distance, shattering the ground.

"Waaaaah—!!"

"Monsters again! And those guys who want to destroy Ur again!!"

"Run! Run for your lives!!"

Panicked, people scattered in all directions, including the person Yan Ming was questioning.

Upon noticing the anomaly, Yan Ming immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the source of the commotion.

The ground was shaking continuously.

Something enormous... was rapidly approaching him!

boom!!

The next moment, the huge clump of trees blocking their way was completely pulverized.

An enormous shadow, with a body exceeding five meters in height, suddenly attacked this side.

Boom! The huge foot slammed into the ground, unleashing a massive shockwave that forced Yan Ming to retreat backward.

At the same time, he also directly sensed the aura emanating from the thing in front of him.

correct.

"This monster also carries the same aura..."

If you look closely, what appears in front of you looks like a pterosaur.

It has enormous wings and is over five meters long, but... its entire body is covered with an extremely eerie gray line.

"Roar--!!"

A giant pterosaur descended to the ground, its body slowly writhing.

Immediately afterwards, eight enormous bones suddenly extended from its spine.

The eight skeletal structures bent and pierced the ground like sharp spikes. At the same time, the monster's body began to swell again, and multiple limbs resembling arms grew from below its wings. It even grew four pairs of eyes.

This no longer resembles any other living thing on Earth.

The monster roared, and at the same time Yan Ming felt a sharp pain in his ears... The frequency of this sound was even more exaggerated than that of a bat, making it even more unbearable.

But that's not all.

From behind it, more and more similar creatures kept emerging.

Some were dragons that walked on the ground, some were species similar to this pterosaur, some were aquatic creatures that not only spewed out large amounts of liquid from their bodies to float on the liquid, and there were even monsters that were as stiff and solid as statues.

They appeared directly in front of the city of Ur, completely blocking Yan Ming's path.

They looked like ordinary magical beasts, lacking any rationality, but their reactions were almost identical to those Yan Ming had experienced in the Underworld.

Roar—!! The monsters roared, their eyes, devoid of any biological logic, constantly turning, locking onto the Ur people who were still fleeing for their lives not far away.

The moment that look in their eyes was first revealed.

*Pfft!*

A long sword pierced through the air, tearing apart the monster's four pairs of eyes.

Green blood suddenly gushed out, and the Time Limit Sword, which had been flying out, was forced back to its original direction by the force in mid-air.

Yan Ming raised his hand and caught the sword with one hand.

Gazing at the monsters before him, he had already attached the driver and watch face to his waist.

He slowly turned his eyes and glared directly at several of the monsters.

"Gurgle...!"

The monsters retreated as if frightened, while Yan Ming simply turned the driver.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

"Armor Time! Decade!"

More than a dozen card-like phantoms shot out, knocking away all the monsters surrounding Yan Ming and attaching themselves to Yan Ming's body, transforming into magenta armor.

In contrast, Yan Ming took out another watch face and installed it on his waist.

"Final Form Time! Ryu·Ryu·Ryu·Ryuki!"

Crimson flames blazed up on his body.

In the next instant, Yan Ming's magenta armor had changed to a red and gold color scheme, and he was gripping the Heisei Sword and a dragon-head-shaped blade tightly in his hand.

The monsters roared and charged towards Yan Ming again.

Bang——! !

The eight massive skeletal structures tore off instantly, but Yan Ming blocked them all with his two-handed sword.

Despite several monsters attempting to attack him from behind, Yan Ming paid them no heed.

boom!!

In an instant, the flames, reaching a temperature of 7,000 degrees Celsius, transformed into a pillar of light, engulfing the vast majority of the monsters behind them.

It is the contract beast Musou Ryuu of Kamen Rider Ryuki, and its evolved form is Rekka Musou Ryuu.

A huge flying dragon, more than two meters long, coiled around Yan Ming's body.

"Hey! Blade!"

After harnessing the power of the Heisei Sword to select Blade, the tip of the Dragon Blade instantly extended into a massive flame blade over three meters long.

"Blade! Dual Time Break!"

Boom! The overwhelming power completely tore apart the vast majority of the monsters.

Yan Ming swung the exaggeratedly large sword horizontally, back and forth like a fan, and with one strike, he severed all eight of the monster's bones.

Nevertheless, a large number of monsters still rushed toward him at high speed.

In response, Yan Ming sheathed his twin swords and pressed the button on the dial at his waist.

"Ryu·Ryu·Ryu·Ryuki! Final Attack Time Break!"

The raging dragon roared and spun rapidly around Yan Ming, creating an unparalleled whirlwind of flames.

The whirlwind even blew all the monsters directly towards its head.

Yan Ming assumed a stance as if gathering strength, then leaped into the air and unleashed a kick directly above himself.

In that instant, the Peerless Dragon merged with its own body, transforming into a gigantic fireball shaped like a dragon's head.

Bang--!!

The fireball crossed the boundary at a speed exceeding ten times the speed of sound, piercing through every monster within sight.

As Yan Ming landed slowly, the monster behind him was completely burned to ashes like fragments.

But... this is not the end.

Boom—!! Not far away, an even more violent shockwave came again.

A monster was thrown over there.
