Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

He was casually toying with some kind of black gemstone in his hand.

"You don't need to ask who I am, or care about anything else. You see? I can stop time. If I want to do something, no one can stop me."

"..."

"Of course, you may not be able to stop time like me in the future, but at least you can beat up this world that you think is beyond saving."

Teed crouched down in front of her, and only this girl could hear what he was saying... as for the magical girl behind him, she posed no threat whatsoever.

"Screw the idea that there's a bright side to the world, screw the idea that there are good people just because there are bad people. That kind of stuff exists, but that doesn't stop you from feeling disgusted with this shitty world right now, does it?"

He smiled and handed over the gem in his hand.

"Let's welcome Chaos together... as long as you're willing to make a contract with it and become a magical girl."

"no…!"

Even though Homura Akemi tried her best, that was all she could say. What's worse, the girl didn't even hear her.

She simply accepted the gem from Teed's hand.

This was her choice.

In her eyes, the world—? It's beyond saving.

Boom—!! The powerful force transformed into a hurricane, instantly engulfing her body.

Time, which had been frozen in time, returned to its original state at that moment.

"Ugh...!"

The excessive force blew Homura Akemi away.

Teed walked to the side with a cold smile. As a super timejacker, he possessed time manipulation abilities equal to or even stronger than Swartz's. Unless someone was as outrageously cheating as Shilun Yanming, no one could surpass him in this aspect of time manipulation.

"The show is about to begin."

*Pfft—Pfft pfft pfft—!*

"Well…?"

The men who were trying to leave were all clutching their stomachs in disbelief.

The young man looked at these people with a surprised expression.

"Hey? What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all making such a fuss all of a sudden..."

All the men had large holes cut into their abdomens.

It wasn't simply a matter of being pierced by a knife or gun; rather, the abdominal fibers decomposed on their own, and the organs and bones all flowed out clearly, without even the gastric juices and blood mixing together.

Within seconds, the men were straddling the ground.

"Ah...woo?!"

Then, the young man vomited.

The men whose abdomens had been dissected were still babbling incoherently, but their minds had become clouded, while the young man was so disgusted that he vomited.

"What...what is this?! What on earth is this thing?! Ah...ahhh...!"

After the series of collisions, he turned around and saw the girl who had been standing behind him at some point.

She was wearing a beautiful white dress and holding something that looked like scissors.

The girl's face was expressionless; she simply stared calmly at herself, who was covered in vomit.

"Yu-hua...Yu-hua? Is that you? Listen to me! I...I was just kidding before, haha...Don't be afraid, I actually want to get close to these bastards and make more money for you, believe me...believe me..."

"I'm so happy."

*Thud*—The scissors pierced the young man's neck, before his incredulous gaze.

A smile as radiant as a flower bloomed on the girl's face.

"The thought of being able to use these hands to personally destroy more disgusting people like you makes me really happy."

"..."

The young man couldn't say anything, but—

The throat, pierced by scissors, slowly disintegrated.

The skin's dermis, fibers, and internal organs... He stared wide-eyed, clutching his neck, feeling no pain, but a terrifying sense of dread that was far more unbearable than any physical pain.

In reality, none of the men who were attacked by the girl died, but they also could not survive.

"What have you done...!"

Homura Akemi gripped the wall tightly as she stood up, glaring at Teedo.

"You turned someone who still had hope of being saved into...this kind of murderer."

"I just did what I wanted to do."

Teed had a completely carefree expression on his face.

"My plan requires magical girls, and I need to use them, so for that I need to create a lot of kids with terrible life experiences... that's it, so I'll definitely turn someone like her into a magical girl."

Those unrestrained words made Homura Akemi even angrier.

But when she pulled out her pistol and shot Tide directly.

Clang! The bullets were all deflected.

It was made by the person who just became a magical girl.

"Are you... planning to stop me? That guy is..."

"What's wrong with him? He gave me the power to kill scum, the ability to take revenge on society and the world. Is that a bad thing?"

The girl smiled innocently.

"On the contrary, I've disliked you ever since just now."

"...!"

"You haven't even experienced what happened to me, so what right do you have to say I can still be saved?"

Swish—! The scissors in her hand suddenly stabbed towards Homura Akemi.

(I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so there have been two days without an update... I'm very sorry, and I hope you can understand!)

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 382 That Was Another Bad Memory for Gates…

Everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

The mentally deranged girl showed no mercy. She thrust the scissors in her hand with maximum force towards Homura Akemi, intending to pierce through her weaker body and kill her instantly with a single blow.

But that didn't happen.

In the blink of an eye, Homura Akemi's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, she appeared a few meters away.

"Oh right, I forgot, you seem to be able to stop time too."

Tide said this, but he seemed rather bored.

"Hmm...it doesn't matter anyway, your time ability is only of a very low quality, so it doesn't make much difference whether you have it or not."

After hearing what the other party said, Homura Akemi angrily raised the pistol in her hand and pointed it at Teed.

Boom! Her specially modified Magnum warhead then burst forth.

Without even glancing at them, Kotide casually raised his hand, and an invisible force forcefully shattered all the bullets.

not only that.

Just as Homura Akemi was about to touch the disc on her arm to activate her magic, Teedo struck first, moving even faster than her.

Buzz! In an instant, iridescent waves enveloped everything around.

'Time...stop!'

Because she was unable to use her abilities in time, Homura Akemi was even unable to move freely under the influence of her opponent's abilities.

"The rest is up to you. This person has no grudge against you. You can kill her or ignore her. But... whatever you want to do is your own choice."

"After all, from now on you are doing things with your own strength, no longer as incompetent as before, but making your own decisions based on your own consciousness. I do expect... you can do something that will interest me."

The words had barely left his lips when the girl opposite him began to move.

With a whoosh, she gripped the enormous scissors in her hand and dragged them along the ground, creating a shower of sparks.

'Oh no... what if this person attacks me in this situation!'

Homura Akemi is now unable to move even a single finger.

The girl walked towards her without hesitation, while Tide just stood aside and watched. The girl dragged the huge scissors with both hands and then revealed a smile without any emotion.

She has completely broken down.

It's no use saying anything now. She's not simply crushed by life; she's the type who has completely given up on herself. Coupled with Tide's instigation, she has embarked on this irrational path on her own.

Now, all she's thinking about is how to take revenge on everything in this world for no reason.

Boom! The sharp tip of the scissors whistled through the air as the girl aimed her weapon at Homura Akemi's abdomen.

Oh no…

Just when she thought there was no hope, when she thought her body and soul were about to be pierced through—

Another figure arrived shortly after.

At that critical moment, he decisively and overwhelmingly intercepted the scissors that were larger than his own body.

Clang—!

Even though the girl thrust the scissors forward with all her might, this person suddenly appeared and used only a book to completely trap her scissors between the pages.

"Planning to attack someone important to my Demon King? Ridiculous! Did you even ask for my opinion?"

He is Wozniak.

With just the strength of one hand, Woz unleashed superhuman power in an instant.

"Waaah...!"

Under the terrifying force, the girl screamed in panic.

The girl and the scissors in her hand were instantly thrown away by the force. The scissors flew to the side of the road, while she herself fell to the ground.

Not only Wozniak, but Gates also arrived at his side shortly afterward.

Woz immediately patted Homura Akemi on the shoulder, and her frozen state instantly returned to normal.

"Why...why did you come here?"

"It was just a coincidence. Besides, how could I possibly let someone like that make a move against someone as distinguished as Miss Yan?"

"Your Excellency... what are you saying..."

"Alright, you rascal, it's not enough to just take pictures of your own master's horse, now you're trying to take pictures of other people's too?"

Speechless, Gates simply patted Woz on the shoulder.

The two looked straight ahead, in the direction where Teed was.

"It's you two good-for-nothings again."

"The trash you're talking about has utterly crushed the generals you've painstakingly summoned. You can't even match our verbal skills!"

"General? Ah... He certainly qualifies as a general for you."

For you guys...? Wozniak and Gates were a little confused by the question; it sounded so strange.

However, now is not the time to concern ourselves with these trivial matters.

The girl next to her got up again and, without thinking, picked up her scissors.

Snap—in an instant, she split the scissors in half, transforming them into a giant double-headed blade.

"Wait."

Just as the girl was about to rush towards the two people opposite her, Teed grabbed her and stopped her.

"Huh? Why is that?"
