Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Pewter?!"

Unable to distinguish between heaven and earth, Enkidu felt dizzy and vomited blood from his stomach before being instantly blasted away by some force.

Boom! His body fell to the ground in the distance and was covered by countless pebbles.

Gates immediately turned his head and looked behind him.

As soon as he turned around, an even larger shadow attacked him.

Thump—!

The countless snake heads on the Beast Mother Goddess's body all bit at the same point.

That was where Gates had been, but when the snake heads dispersed, the Mother Goddess could not find any trace of them.

"Damn human...you insignificant creature, like a mere insect, stop hiding in front of me!"

boom!!

An incredibly powerful magical aura erupted from the Mother Goddess.

It manifested as a tangible impact, shattering the surrounding ground and walls in the form of a shockwave, and instantly sending Gates flying as he charged at high speed.

"Mr. Gates!"

"Is it even your place to worry about others now?"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise, the Beast Mother Goddess turned around again.

This time, however, her eyes became extremely dangerous.

"Oh no, oh no, Fujimaru-kun! If I get hit by that thing, it'll be really dangerous!"

"Huh? We detected a high concentration of magical energy over there. Could this be... a Demon Eye?!"

The light that shines from the eyes of the Mother Goddess is a light capable of petrifying everything.

Once touched, whatever it is, will turn to stone.

Upon seeing the Beast Mother Goddess in this driving posture, Merlin immediately began to shout.

We have to get away from that thing quickly!

It's too late.

The Beast Mother Goddess concentrated the power of her eyes, instantly transforming them into two deep purple streaks of light that shot straight towards her.

boom--!!

However, there was a figure that was faster than the beam of light.

The deep blue shadow leaped over the two enormous purple beams of light in an instant, and pulled everyone around it out from beneath them.

Crack! Crack! Within the visible range, an almost straight line of area was completely turned into stone.

"Huh...?!"

When Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others came to their senses, they found that they were standing safely on the other side.

The dark blue figure stood right in front of them.

"I told you to leave quickly, what are you still doing here!"

Gates urged him on while raising the Time Claw in his hand.

"Combined Claw Slash!"

In an instant, the boundaries of the battle were altered.

Under everyone's gaze, Gates simply stood there, holding that claw-like weapon, maintaining a fighting stance as he faced the Mother Goddess not far away, and that was all.

then.

The Beast Mother Goddess's body instantly shattered.

Boom!! Unbelievable blood gushed from its body, irrigating the entire land with an endless rain of blood.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others stared at the scene in disbelief.

"Fujimaru-kun! What on earth happened over there? I detected an unusually high speed response here, it's...it's exceeded the maximum observable value we can record here!"

The doctor's exclamation only made them more unable to understand the situation.

Even Mash and Anna, who were Servants, were dumbfounded as they stared at the scene before them, completely unaware of what had happened.

"I see."

Merlin, who was able to observe everything happening "now," narrowed his eyes.

"His speed is so fast, theoretically, is there no one who can surpass him...?"

Crash! The person who got up from the pile of rubble was Enkidu.

"hateful…"

He also witnessed what had just happened.

Although it was unclear how the opponent had managed to do it, the overwhelming power instantly and severely injured the Beast Mother Goddess, who was his trump card.

If that's the case, then there's no way to win.

I thought the man named Shilun Yanming was dangerous enough, but I didn't expect that the people around him were just as dangerous.

"Is it time to use this...?"

Enkidu touched his abdomen. Although he had just suffered such a powerful attack, he was not injured.

The reason is that he possesses an absolute, deadly weapon.

Using it will bring victory to my mother... but in return, I will lose its favor.

But we can't worry about that now.

"Mother! Use this."

Seeing that the Beast Mother Goddess was already struggling to stand, Enkidu threw the item he was holding out of his arms.

"That is—!"

That was a luminous group...something that transcends time and space.

Even with its super-fast speed, Gates couldn't catch it; it leaped across dimensions and landed directly on the Beast Mother Goddess.

"Gurgle—!"

Then, the goddess's eyes narrowed slightly, and a burst of intense light erupted from her entire body.

boom!!!

The immense magical power directly destroyed the city of Nippur, and the aura of power it unleashed also approached the crowd.

"Hahaha! Now let's see what you guys do!"

That is the Holy Grail, the wish-granting machine capable of changing everything.

Enkidu has always held that thing in his hands to give himself endless power, but he also needs the Holy Grail in Gilgamesh's hands.

Now, as long as the power of the Holy Grail is handed over to the strongest Beast Mother Goddess, she can bring about complete victory.

The sheer power surge alone would be enough to kill everyone in front of them instantly.

—That's how it should be.

Under Enkidu's watchful gaze, some overwhelming changes slowly occurred within the white light.

"Wh-what?!"

This was beyond his comprehension.

Because... the magical impact created by the Holy Grail and the Beast Mother Goddess was gradually being suppressed by some kind of force.

A more rugged, more powerful force.

"Powered Time!"

The orange-black, powerful warrior, with his sheer body, directly withstood all the impacts.

"RE·V·I·VE Goretsu! Goretsu!"

"This is impossible!"

Boom!! As if in response to Enkidu, Gates instantly swung his arm, and a punch wrapped in orange energy instantly deflected the power unleashed by the Holy Grail.

No, that's not right—it's not as simple as just rebounding force.

In an instant, Gates, relying on the resurrected body's fierce strength, absorbed the power unleashed by the Holy Grail, further transformed it into his own power, and then blasted it out with brute force.

The conclusion is that force counters force.

Boom!! After a moment of shock, the Beast Mother Goddess, who had absorbed the power of the Holy Grail, used even greater brute force to forcefully resist Geiz's counterattack.

She used countless snake heads to tear apart the force before her, and then attacked directly with her massive body, grabbing at Gates with her brute-force hands.

In contrast, Gates used his chainsaw as a weapon, slashing straight at his opponent's hands.

*Pfft!* The orange halo flew past, and the Mother Goddess's arm instantly separated.

However, it recovered in the next instant.

Thump—!

The two began to struggle against each other. The Mother Goddess used the terrifying power surging from her entire body to suppress Gates and the ground beneath his feet, while Gates simply used his weapon to block the attack and began to exert all his strength.

The earth, cities, mountains, rivers—everything trembled because of this.

"This is that thing called the Holy Grail? It actually gave this guy so much strength!"

The resurrected one, in its fierce form, possesses overwhelming power. Even so, the enemy before him is able to contend with him on the most basic level.

Although Gates did not use any cheat-like abilities, there are very few people who can match him in terms of strength alone.

"Foolish fellow, to put your body in contact with Mother? You're really asking for death!"

"Stop talking nonsense. You don't actually think this guy can beat me, do you?"

If he so desired, Gates could suppress time and space, transforming them into an even greater power.

But Enkidu laughed instead.

"What... I didn't mean I had to beat you in strength."

"...?!"

It wasn't until this moment that Gates came to his senses again.

But it was already too late.

Suddenly, the eyes of the Beast Mother Goddess flickered, and a stream of dark purple light shone directly towards Gates in the form of a beam of light.

"Damn it, I forgot about this guy's other ability!"

Although Gates wanted to immediately switch to Resurrected Gale Mode so that even the lasers couldn't keep up with him, the lasers were already about to strike.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others behind them were still looking at them with great concern.

In that very instant.

—Click.

Time stood still.

"What…?"

Gates looked around in disbelief and found that everything, from Enkidu to the petrifying beam in front of him, had frozen in place.

Thump—footsteps came from behind.

He took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and saw a familiar figure right behind him.

Bang——! !

The next moment, time, which had been frozen, resumed its flow.

"what?"

In the blink of an eye, everyone witnessed this scene.

The Beast Mother Goddess possesses such a massive body.
