Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Teed, the Time Jacker, walked outside with his hands in his pockets, nonchalantly sitting on the edge of the car door.

The magical girl wandered around with a look of curiosity on her face.

"I'm telling you, whether it's those abilities you just had, this train, or this place, where did you get all of these from?"

"You'd better shut up."

"So what? You're the one who arbitrarily dragged people out of another world and dumped them here. Don't I even have the right to know?"

Even when asked this question, Teed remained unmoved.

"If you won't tell me, fine, but at least tell me about your own affairs!"

"My own business?"

At that moment, Tide couldn't help but laugh.

It's a smile that has a... somewhat eccentric quality.

"Unfortunately, I should be someone who is already dead...that's right."

"I've never encountered anything more terrifying than hell itself."

On the back of Tide's hand, the black engravings faintly shimmered with a dark red glow.

Those dark red things that looked like words—

An "eye" filled with evil intent formed directly on the back of his hand.

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 368 The Strange Guests Who Came Across Time and Space

This is the narrow gap between times.

A colorful sky and an endless desert—this is a place that exists in any world.

then.

Within this very space, a portal opened from another dimension appeared high in the sky.

Om-! !

In an instant, a huge train suddenly sped out.

"I can't control myself anymore!!"

"Hey senior, are you sure it's okay to leave this to you to control? It's already sparking over here!"

"Stop your nonsense, you turtles! Just watch how I turn the tide and save DenLiner!"

"No, it's better to leave this to me, Brother Tao!"

"You all get out of the way, other people want to play too!"

"What are you talking about, you brat? This isn't something to play with—Ughhhhh!!"

Four oddly shaped creatures of different colors were causing a ruckus inside the train. One of them, a red one, was riding a locomotive in the center of the room, while the other three were trying to snatch it from him.

However, no matter how much they struggle, they cannot escape a tragic ending.

Boom!! The time-space train named DenLiner, after passing through the time tunnel, arrived directly in the current world's reality.

In the darkness of the night, a colorful portal suddenly appeared, and then—a massive train spun back and forth several times in the sky.

"I'm going to throw up!"

"You brat, get your hands off the motorcycle right now, or we'll both fall and die!"

"The pressure is too much... I simply can't move...!"

"Senior, look ahead! We're about to crash!!"

Fortunately, the strange red figure—the Otherworldly being Momotaros—had a flash of inspiration at the last moment and managed to open the portal again with all his might.

After passing through the portal, DenLiner crashed heavily onto the endless sand dunes.

Boom—!!

Electric sparks and large explosions flashed in succession.

The four people in the driver's seat were also affected by this phenomenon.

"W-what happened? Why did it suddenly explode so violently!"

"I heard the conductor say that there's some kind of time and space control system at the very front, could it be...?"

"Hey...doesn't that mean the most important part is damaged?! What's going to happen now—ouch!!"

After a violent collision and distortion of spacetime, the four monsters known as the Otherworldly Gods were all smashed to pieces and turned into sand-like substances.

Then... all of this sand traveled through a time portal into the real world of this world.

In the end, only this train remained in the endless desert, billowing smoke everywhere.

"Oh no! Commander! Momotaros and the others have all disappeared!"

Now there are only two people left on the train.

One was a girl dressed in white, who looked like a waitress.

The other person was an elderly man who seemed unhurried, dressed in a very high-end-looking suit.

The waitress-like girl looked very anxious, but the old man was sitting leisurely in his seat eating a plate of fried rice with a flag stuck in the middle.

"I see. DenLiner's spacetime control system was damaged, which severely affected the spacetime inside the cockpit, sending all four of them into the real world of this world?"

"What should we do, Commander? Our DenLiner seems to be damaged too, it can't move at all now!"

"Hmm~ I've figured it out. The reason we came to this different world was to track down the person who took over the train terminal, but now we're the ones who are trapped here."

"It can't even get through the real world! The DenLiner can't be activated at all!"

"That's true, but what should we do...?"

As the conductor spoke, he used a spoon to carefully scoop out a piece of fried rice from the edge of the flag.

pat.

That flag, in the end, fell completely onto the plate.

"...It seems that the future will be even worse than we imagined."

Then, in the real world on the other side.

Four otherworldly gods, who had no physical form and could only appear in the world in the form of sand, descended upon this place.

"Damn it!! It's turned into this punching bag again!"

Momotaros clutched his head and roared.

"Hey turtle! Bear and Ryuta! Can't you four still use Den-O's belt?"

"Hehe~ It's already turned into this state, so what's the point of talking about a belt!"

"Yes, right now we're just a pile of moving sand, and nothing can touch us."

"Although Den-O's belt is still on us, it's clear that there's nothing we can do anymore, senpai."

This was a truly despairing fact for them.

For beings like the Otherworldly Gods, they can only materialize after signing a contract with a human. However, for these four special Otherworldly Gods, this rule has been broken many times before... but it seems they are not so lucky now.

It now seems they must find a way to get back into the fight.

"That's exactly what I mean! I wish Ryotaro were still here!"

Right after Lontaros said that, the other three stopped.

Momotaros, in particular, seemed to fall silent.

"...We've bothered that guy too many times already; we absolutely cannot let him get involved in this matter again."

Momotaros angrily pounded the ground with his fist—but all he managed to do was stir up a pile of sand.

"Damn it... It's all that damned time traveler's fault, why did he have to steal all the trains from the main station!"

"Now that's bad, DenLiner is trapped in the rift of time, and the four of us can't materialize either."

"How about we just do it the way we always do, and just find a few random people on the street to possess?"

"You can't do that, Ryuta. Taking over other people's bodies will only make things worse."

"Then tell me, what other options are there? Didn't the conductor say that that guy, what's his name... what's his name, even stole the God Train!"

"The Train of God? What's the Train of God? I don't seem to remember it..."

"That's because you're getting senile and have forgotten everything from before, Xiong Gong!"

"Ouch! Why did you hit me for no reason?!"

"They've already turned to sand, so what's the point of fighting anymore?"

"What did you say, you brat? Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?!"

The four otherworldly gods, or rather, the four puddles of sand, were all mixed up and fighting each other.

It was 8 p.m., and the sight of the four sand-like demon gods frolicking in the park quickly attracted the attention of several children who were still playing nearby.

"Brother? What's that moving around over there?"

"Hmm... I can't see clearly, it sounds like dogs barking... Could it be four stray dogs fighting each other?"

"Oh, I see. It's actually four stray dogs fighting each other!"

Hey kid over there! Who are you calling a stray dog?!

"Calm down, senior—that's just a child! Why are you arguing with a kid!"

This went on for quite some time before the four of them finally managed to stop.

"In short—no matter what, we must find a way to recover our health first!"

"Let's at least figure out which city we're in first, shall we?"

"Let me see, it seems to say... Mitakihara? But where is Mitakihara?!"

Thus, the four otherworldly gods' hurried journey to another world officially began here.

————————————————————————————

After they officially returned to the apartment, Yan Ming first let everyone rest, while he went to make them some more food.

He checked the time with Homura Akemi and learned that it was about half a month after he left this world.

Although he had considered whether or not to greet Kui Yu, Yan Ming was more concerned about the current crisis facing the world. He decided to leave the reminiscing and leisure activities until everything was finished.

"Hmm... I understand the details."

While Yan Ming was cooking, the three of them sat down at the dining table together.

Woz and Gates sat together, while Homura Akemi sat alone opposite them.

Wozniak continued, holding the book.

"The witch who should have been eliminated by my Demon King using the power of Oma Zi-O has now reappeared in this world for some unknown reason, isn't that right?"

"Then the magical girl who attacked Miss Homura doesn't seem to be from this world either, and the reason she attacked is completely unknown."

"The most important thing is the resurrection of Teed the Super Time Jacker, and the various things we will have to face in this world next."

"Damn it, that guy named Tide really knows how to cause us trouble!"

Gates couldn't help but slam his fist on the table. The world should have been completely at peace by now, but because of what Tide did, all sorts of hidden dangers have arisen.

Wozniacki didn't speak as irritably as Gates.

However… he turned to look at Homura Akemi sitting in front of him.

The girl's face was full of worry, as if she didn't know what to do about the future.

"Please rest assured, Miss Yan, no matter what, my Demon King and we will do our best to handle these matters."

"That's right, at least we'll protect you."

Despite what Gates said, Homura Akemi clenched her fists instead.

"I... I don't really care about my own affairs anyway."

The girl's words gradually became tinged with more worry.
