Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Gates spoke first, and he immediately asked Yan Ming a question.

"So, when we weren't looking, you went out of your way to find a girl you didn't know at all—Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, Woz smacked him on the head.

“Watch your words… Mr. Gates, this goddess of the underworld is someone I met in a previous incident, a mere comrade-in-arms who fought alongside me.”

"Huh? Is that so? This one looks like a goddess from the underworld! She actually worked with Mr. Yan Ming not long ago?"

"Ah... well, just like you all thought, he... happened to appear in the underworld before, and then helped me out..."

It seems that Ereshkigal is somewhat bothered by the term "comrade-in-arms," ​​but now is not the time to concern himself with such things.

Boom—!! Even at the entrance to this enormous void—a world called the Underworld—they could still hear Tiamat's roar coming from above.

Countless Rahms then rose from the air, seemingly heading towards the remaining citizens of Uruk.

This can't go on.

"Lord Woz"

At this moment, the three Servants, Ushiwakamaru, Benkei, and Leonidas, all looked at him.

"...Take us outside."

"Miss Ushiwakamaru? This..."

"With our current strength, it is impossible for us to fight against such a god. She is not an opponent that we can reach."

"But with the three of us, we can at least ensure people's safety... Let's do what we can."

At this point, even Anna looked at Yan Ming.

After understanding their thoughts, Yan Ming looked at Woz, who could only nod.

"Leopard Man, you go over there too."

"Huh?! Kukul must be joking, right? With my formidable strength as a leopard man, you're sending me to clear out the grunts—wait, wait! Fine, I'll go!"

After a teleportation fluctuation, Anna and the leopard man, along with several others, all disappeared from their original spot.

A moment later.

From the outside world, the screams of countless Rahms could be heard.

At that moment... Yan Ming immediately looked towards Ereshkigal.

"The underworld shouldn't be directly below Uruk. Did Gilgamesh make you do this?"

"Eh? Ah... there are some reasons for that, but actually, I myself..."

"By dragging Tiamat into the underworld, we can be considered to have pulled her into a world where no life exists. Wouldn't that be a way to kill her?!"

Dr. Roman, who was watching from a distance, suddenly had this idea.

"Yes! Could this be King Gilgamesh's method?!"

"…No."

Woz shook his head bluntly.

"Unfortunately, this method might have worked against the previous Tiamat, but it won't kill this one."

Boom—!! As they spoke, the enormous figure charged toward the underworld.

"That monster actually... didn't retreat or avoid it, and actually went into the interior of the underworld?"

Everyone quickly retreated in all directions.

Buzz—!! Yan Ming raised his hand, time froze, and immense power immediately acted on Tiamat's entire body.

Everything around them came to a standstill.

The moment Tiamat descended into the underworld, the oppressive power emanating from Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, instantly took effect upon her.

however.

Even when subjected to such immense suppression, Tiamat remained unmoved.

"Ugh...! My Netherworld power has absolutely no effect on this guy!"

"How is that possible? According to my calculations, there shouldn't be any problem! Although Tiamat created all life in the world, there shouldn't be any of the life she created in this underworld anymore!"

Dr. Roman's anxious voice rang out again.

Yan Ming looked at Woz and vaguely understood something.

"You tried to kill her in the special space at the end of the galaxy, didn't you?"

"...That's right, as expected of my Demon King, as insightful as ever."

In reality, the new space that Woz created using the power of the end of the galaxy, which was almost like the universe, was essentially an isolation from all life in this era.

If killing Tiamat there would still allow her to be resurrected, then trying the same thing in this underworld would most likely yield a similar result.

Simply put, Tiamat's current power continues to be effective even across multiple dimensions.

"So, what should we do?"

Gates asked in a low voice, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"This won't work, that won't work... Doesn't this guy mean he's invincible?"

"...No, not either."

Having previously been unaware of any information about Tiamat, Yan Ming, now knowing this information thanks to the efforts of Woz and others, began to think about the plan in his mind as much as possible.

The current challenge for Tiamat is her cross-dimensional resurrection and her immortality.

If he is immortal, then Gilgamesh summoned Ereshkigal precisely to solve this problem.

So all that's left... is the ability to resurrect at a cross-dimensional level.

That is the power that can traverse different spaces and easily revive.

Dimensions...crossing different spaces?

—Something seemed to be slowly connecting in my mind.

"Woz."

"What's wrong, my Demon King?"

Although the situation was urgent, there was still time to think about the questions.

“You told me before how Tokiwa Sougo dealt with Swartz’s power when he first faced it.”

The first time... when facing Swartz's power?

"You mean when you rescued Gates from the alien world?"

This even stirred up memories for Gates.

"Why...why are you bringing this up now?"

"Think about it, what power did Tokiwa Sougo use back then to perform dimensional-level teleportation from completely different spaces?"

"Zi-O Stage 3..."

The answer seemed to be a call to action.

Gates and Wozniak looked at each other simultaneously.

"Will this... work? Can that form really...?!"

"I don't know either, Mr. Gates."

Woz shook his head decisively.

"Regarding the third stage of Zi-O, although this book records a lot, unfortunately, this is probably the first time I've felt that I can't explain related matters through a book."

"Because, up to now, my power related to the Demon King and Time King Stage 3 has already exceeded the ordinary by far too much."

After a moment of surprise, Gates couldn't help but look at Yan Ming.

Boom—a sound came from behind.

"Tiamat...moved?"

Behind them, the enormous body of the monster, equivalent to a hundred meters in size, began to tremble slowly once more.

Even though Tiamat herself cannot completely ignore Yan Ming's time manipulation abilities, she can store her body in a completely different space to circumvent the time-stopping ability that only works in this world.

Even so, it was still difficult to escape Yan Ming's control over time, but she could still manage to do it with some difficulty.

Perhaps everything depends on the power of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The mastermind behind all of this, Asmodeus, has still not revealed himself...

"Get ready."

Staring at the enormous monster in front of him, Yan Ming took out the watch face without hesitation.

“Since the Demon King of the past could do something similar, I think the three of us together can do it too.”

Wozniak and Gates fell silent, simply nodding calmly.

The moment Tiamat attacked again, Yan Ming immediately pressed the button on the watch face.

"Zi-O Trinity!"

Three distinct streams of light instantly enveloped the three of them.

At the same time, Woz and Gates transformed into watch strap-like objects, blocking Tiamat's massive body from the front.

By gathering power throughout his body, the three distinct knightly powers are completely integrated into one.

"Trinity Time!"

"The power of three! Kamen Rider Zi-O! Geiz! Woz!"

"TR·IN·ITY! Trinity!"

boom--!!

An even more exaggerated power than Tiamat herself instantly transformed into a shockwave, erupting from the front.

The terrifying aura slowly blasted the enormous body away, even forcing out the countless Rahms that were growing within it.

"That is..."

Under their watchful eyes, the three people... merged into one person?!

"Wait, wait, wait, what kind of bizarre development is this?! I've never seen three people merge into one before. Even in tokusatsu dramas, it's usually two people as one, right? How are you going to explain the various laws of physics and the human body in this?!"

"Even the creator god from mythology has come out, why are you still worrying about this, doctor!"

On one side is Dr. Roman, who is making a lot of sarcastic remarks, and on the other side is Fujimaru Ritsuka, who is also making sarcastic remarks about him.

Mashu blinked in surprise, looking at the warriors who had merged into one before her.

"...In that case, should I call him Mr. Yan Ming, Mr. Gates, or Mr. Woz...?"

So—transformation complete.

Yan Ming, transformed into the third form of Time King, slightly raised his head.

All the power in his body was gathered into his body... and then he suddenly flew forward.

With speeds that defy all conventional laws of physics.

Bang--!!

In the next instant, Tiamat, with her enormous body, was flung to the ground almost instantly.

Logically, it should have unleashed unparalleled destructive effects, but—the ground of the underworld remained completely unscathed.

It's likely that Yan Ming used time-related powers to protect this place.

He immediately placed his feet on the mother goddess's abdomen and grasped her two arm-like claws with both hands—

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere as countless Rahm eggs gushed from his body sprayed onto Yan Ming's body like blood.

But Yan Ming flicked his hand, and the immense force transformed into a shockwave that instantly tore apart all the unborn Rahms.

As for control, the Rahms screamed and attacked him.
