Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

The white world grew increasingly distorted, and Anna's body was held tightly in Gorgon's hands.

A world of blood and darkness completely enveloped the girl's final despair.

at that moment.

The ultimate golden light descended upon the world without mercy.

puff-

The space that supposedly separates different dimensions and times is now, in this instant.

He was cleaved in two by the person wielding the golden sword.

Yan Ming... or rather, Kamen Rider Zi-O II.

"Cough—you bastard!!!"

Gorgon stared intently at the figure approaching him, and without hesitation, he swung his sword down.

He cut off his own hand.

Before he could even scream, the golden blade plunged into his abdomen.

"Gurgle—?!"

At that moment, Gorgon felt an extreme sense of terror.

For a moment, she wanted to "become one" with him... but she felt something extremely terrifying about this man.

No.

He cannot be described as human at all… He, he is—

"You should disappear from my sight, forever."

The voice of judgment came from beside my ears.

The Demon King, who controls the past and the future, instantly increased the sword's output by dozens of times.

"King! Giri Giri Slash!"

In that instant.

In an instant, Gorgon's body, along with those five streaks of light, vanished from the world forever.

Volume 8, Mesopotamia Absolute Monster Front: Chapter 347 The Origin Mother Goddess Emerging from the Ocean

"Ha... Hoo..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu fought each other with all their might against the feathered serpent god before them.

Although during this time they all realized that the opponent's strength far exceeded their imagination... and was simply beyond their ability to deal with.

"This is the power of a god-level being; it's truly impressive."

Whether from a data analysis perspective or from other considerations, Roman does not believe that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu are capable of defeating Quetzal Koyatl.

However—

"I see, so that's what you mean by 'thinking'."

After a fierce battle, Quetzal did not completely defeat them.

She didn't even use her full strength. In the end, she wasn't their enemy. The reason she was fighting Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu here was simply to see what their beliefs were like.

Now, she has accepted both of them.

"In this way, your older sister can trust you."

"It's... over?"

"What, do you want to continue fighting with your older sister? Oh dear~ if you really wanted it that much, you should have just said so!"

"Wait, wait a minute! I was just saying it offhand! Please spare me from having to deal with god-level battles a few more times!"

For reasons on both sides, Gates did not participate in the battle, and the entire battle lasted only a few minutes.

He stood still, raised his head, and looked into the distance of the forest. At that moment, he saw a beam of golden light suddenly fly from afar towards the distant horizon.

He knew exactly what that meant.

Gates crossed his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and said after calming himself down.

"...It's over."

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

That concludes the matter completely.

Yan Ming stood still, holding the strongest time-limit sword, with faint light particles still flashing at the tip of his blade.

Directly in front of them lay a massive crater, twenty meters wide and of immeasurable length.

As for Gorgon's whereabouts? That's already quite obvious.

This time, she was completely defeated by them.

"It's over...it's over."

Anna stood there, gripping her scythe with both hands, looking slightly out of breath.

In reality, everything that just happened in that white space was only a mental effect.

Only a few seconds had passed in reality, but in those few seconds Yan Ming had already noticed that something was wrong with Anna and rescued her immediately.

If Yan Ming hadn't intervened in time, Gorgon would have completely defeated Anna in that white space... and then completely taken over her body and consciousness.

"The Seven Deadly Sins..."

Recalling what the demon named Asmodeus had said, Yan Ming also thought about Gorgon's situation and the two situations he had encountered before.

The evil spirits encountered in the underworld, the countless twisted monsters encountered in Ur, and the Gorgons that were like mutated beings.

They were all transformed into this state by the power called the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. These are, according to legend, the seven sins that represent the evil inherent in human nature.

Yan Ming will not only have to face Asmodeus... but also the seven other types of human evil whose true nature is unknown.

but--

What exactly are they?

If the "Seven Deadly Sins" were demons, that would be fine, but the problem is that Yan Ming has never actually seen their existence.

Whether it's a physical entity or a spiritual entity, Yan Ming didn't discover any of them. Whether they are demons or not still needs to be defined as another matter.

Moreover, in the end, all the demons we have encountered so far should be the legendary demons of the seventy-two pillars under King Solomon.

Why would something as fundamentally evil as the "Seven Deadly Sins" appear here?

Yan Ming quickly snapped out of his reverie, as his moment of contemplation had caught the attention of Merlin, who was standing nearby.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about Gorgon?"

"A portion of them, besides her, also include Enkidu, who has not been dealt with."

"That's true. And according to what you said before, that fake Enkidu should have already put the Holy Grail he possessed into Gorgon's body. Why didn't we find any trace of the Holy Grail after defeating Gorgon?"

Before dealing with these doubts, Yan Ming turned his head and realized that there was another person who still needed attention.

He immediately removed the watch face from his belt and deactivated the transformation.

He then walked over to Anna's side.

Although some time has passed, the girl is still standing in the same spot, seemingly unable to recover from the fact that she killed Gorgon.

However, it's clear that Anna isn't as unable to let go as she used to be.

The reason I'm standing still like this is probably because I'm still processing the information I'm currently receiving.

Yan Ming looked at her like this, simply standing beside Anna silently.

Anna stared ahead, at the completely destroyed temple... as if bidding farewell to something unseen.

"That's good... It's enough for me."

The girl turned around.

"Thank you."

She gazed at the calm-looking man before her and spoke softly to him.

"Thank you for helping me understand so many things. Even if I inevitably become a Gorgon in the future, I will continue to do my best to be the best version of myself now."

The young man and she made eye contact.

After a long while, Yan Ming turned around, and Anna secretly smiled to herself.

"You guys are so slow, what are you whispering about?"

"This shouldn't have anything to do with that idiot Merlin."

"Oh, Anna-chan, why are you still so hostile towards me at a time like this! We even defeated a guy like Gorgon together! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that our bond goes beyond that of comrades!"

"Merlin didn't do anything; Yan Ming did most of the work, right?"

"You seem to be the same way in this respect! Ah—you've started calling him by his given name, 'Yan Ming,' right?"

"...I'll kill you!"

While the two people beside him were joking around, Yan Ming turned his gaze to the distance.

Merlin.

"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so serious?"

"Was Gorgon's borrowing of Tiamat's power as the Mother of Beasts really just for the sake of facilitating the hatching of magical beasts?"

Merlin was stunned upon hearing this.

But after he tried to sense it, he realized he hadn't felt anything at all.

"How's the dream part going?"

"You... I see. You knew all along."

Anna, standing to the side, was naturally confused; she couldn't understand the content of the conversation between Yan Ming and Merlin.

"Tiamat was meant to descend upon this world from the very beginning... right?"

Merlin's expression became complicated.

“I… have been deceiving the Mother Goddess of Creation with my own power from the very beginning. I trapped her in a dream that is theoretically endless, but even doing so cannot stop her from waking up. Sooner or later, the Goddess Tiamat will awaken.”

"Merlin...? You..."

Anna's little face immediately showed a surprised expression.

She never expected that Merlin would still be doing such a thing, but Yan Ming remained calm.

"Just like the future I see, what about Tiamat in your dream?"

"...Nothing unusual. Tiamat is still asleep."

hum-

A point of light suddenly appeared on the sea surface, more than tens of kilometers away from here.

It was a deep red sphere.

The sphere itself seemed to be compressed, making the already minuscule food even smaller, and then—

It expanded rapidly across the globe.

As an aftershock, seawater, rising more than a thousand meters high from the original spot, suddenly surged towards the mainland.

Is that really how you described?

————————————————————

What's going on...?

Enkidu… no, Tiamat’s child, Kingu.

He is currently flying in mid-air, looking at the distant sea.

Just now, a sphere with a very strange aura suddenly appeared on the sea surface.
