Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Since that's the case, there's nothing to be done but endure it... Gates could only sigh and look into the room—

A rather decent meal had been laid out on the table sometime before.

"Wow! It looks delicious!"

"No—this time I won't let you possess me again!"

Gates quickly picked up a book from the side, swatted away the Momotaros that was trying to possess him, and then hurriedly sat down to eat.

At that moment, Yan Ming also came out of the kitchen.

"Good morning, my Demon King..."

"You all look quite energetic."

He tossed the apron aside; it seemed Yan Ming had specially prepared this breakfast.

"Let's eat first, and then we can think about what happened last night in detail."

"Just to my liking."

Gates and Wozniak took their seats, and Yan Ming turned on the television.

Although the four Otherworldly Gods also wanted to eat it... they still couldn't do it without a body.

After turning on the TV, the group watched the channels being shown.

"...Now let's report on the latest news."

The host's clear voice rang out.

"According to astronomers' observations, at 1:45 a.m., a series of phenomena resembling a meteor shower suddenly occurred outside the atmosphere. The final observation results determined that unidentified objects were entering the atmosphere one after another."

"Huh? Is that so? Then may I ask... won't this affect our lives?"

"No, not at all! Astronomers say that the things falling from the sky seem to have broken apart in mid-air, and since they are very small, their impact on us and the Earth is almost zero. So there's absolutely no need to worry. Just treat it as a simple meteor shower!"

"I see!..."

After reading this news, Gates and Wozniak both looked a little strange.

"...That's really strange news."

"It's really boring. The morning news is full of weird and strange stuff."

Yan Ming did not respond.

The TV presenter was still continuing her explanation.

"So, next, let's look at what happened in Mitakihara City today—wait, what?"

The host on site abruptly stopped what he was about to report.

"what happened?"

The person with the camera looked puzzled, as did the host—

He immediately looked behind him in alarm.

"What...what is that?"

The staff members followed the direction she pointed and looked around.

monster.

A gigantic, ape-like monster appeared right behind them.

The monster's appearance was as if it had been forcibly jumped into the three-dimensional space from some other abnormal space... The whole thing had a huge sense of incongruity.

Its pair of scarlet eyes were fixed intently on the reporters.

"Strange, a monster...it's a monster!"

After a series of panicked screams, the crowd panicked.

The reporters were in the same situation. The staff all began to evacuate the scene, and the equipment was left behind. The host could no longer continue hosting the program.

Boom! The giant monster crushed all the equipment in front of it with one stomp, and the last shot of the camera stopped at this moment.

"Hey, what's the situation...?"

The four otherworldly gods were all stunned.

"Hey, Zi-O!"

"My Demon King..."

The other two also looked at Yan Ming, but Yan Ming didn't say anything more.

The group nodded and immediately took action.

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

It only took one second to arrive at the scene.

The three of them went to a nearby street and witnessed this scene.

"...You must be joking."

Every part of the street was damaged.

Moreover... the monsters that appeared here were not just the one they had just seen.

There are many monsters, at least five or six.

As for the true forms of these monsters... Woz and Yan Ming recognized them all after seeing them.

"She's a witch."

Fortunately, the monsters haven't been around for long, and no one has been attacked yet... but that's only a matter of time.

Why the witch was here was a question they no longer had time to consider.

At least, let's stop them for now.

"Let's go."

"Great, just what I wanted!"

Just as the three of them were about to remove the driver and the watch face—

boom!!

The beam of light that fell from the sky pierced directly through one of the witches.

"…ah?"

Gates looked bewildered, while Wozniak and Yan Ming both looked ahead.

Do not…

This kind of situation happens in various parts of the street.

Some witches were cut open by the attacking scythe.

Some of them instantly turn into granules.

Others were entangled by vines, burned, frozen, or banished to another dimension, or even had their dimensions lowered...

Under the influence of various forces, the witches were brutally murdered one after another.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, those who had accomplished this feat slowly appeared in the distance.

Some of them stood on the street, some on the top of buildings, and some simply stood openly on the street.

People who were attracted all turned to look in their direction.

After seeing the true identities of these people, Yan Ming and Woz couldn't help but say something.

Could it be...?

Those girls dressed in strange and colorful clothes, looking very beautiful.

"These people are all...magical girls?"

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 386 - That Was a Worldwide Panic

The witch—a monster that should have completely disappeared from this world and now has no possibility of even existing.

Not only did they appear in the city in enormous numbers, but even... the number of magical girls also increased considerably.

The witches appeared on the streets with impunity, wreaking havoc everywhere, while the magical girls were equally unrestrained, appearing directly on the streets to fight the witches.

"Then, what exactly happened...?"

"What kind of people are those girls?!"

The passersby were completely stunned by this scene.

The reporters responsible for filming the news all rushed over. They set up their cameras and, after confirming that the danger had dissipated, began interviewing everyone about what was happening before them.

Now, people throughout the city can see everything happening in front of them through their mobile phones and televisions.

"Well, that——"

Because there were so many girls, it was impossible for just a few photographers to capture them all.

The girls standing in front of the camera seemed a little shy.

"Excuse me, who are you? Why are you here? And what happened just now? If possible... could you answer these questions?"

The reporters were afraid of asking the wrong question and immediately provoking the girls in front of them, who were armed with various weapons and possessed all sorts of strange abilities, but…

The girls' reactions seemed to be mostly excitement and embarrassment.

"I... and the people around me, we are all... magical girls."

"Magical girls? Do you mean like those magical girls in TV shows? Are they real?! And what were those monsters that just attacked the city? Do you know?"

"I... I'm not quite sure either, it seems to be witches... but we won't let them hurt everyone indiscriminately."

"Eh?"

"Our mission as magical girls is... to defeat these monsters that threaten everyone's peace, and then protect everyone. That's... what we're here to do..."

Although the girl seemed a little shy and too nervous to speak, she eventually managed to say what she had to say.

And this information was indeed transmitted to the internet.

"Demon, magical girl?"

"Really? There really is such a thing?"

"This must be a bunch of random people taking pictures... Wait, it's from Takihara's official news report? How is that possible! Is this really true?!"

"Could it be a prank program on the city's TV station? Magical girls or something—"

"How could something that only exists in anime and comics possibly appear in the real world!"

Then, the entire Mitakihara was thrown into chaos.

Needless to say, netizens are incredibly enthusiastic about the current news, with trending topics and keywords going viral in just a few minutes. What's even more frightening is that even if the authorities want to suppress this content, it's completely impossible to do so due to its immense popularity.

Aggressive language, questioning voices, or excited anticipation—all sorts of words spread online, and countless people even went offline to record and photograph the magical girls with their own phones or cameras.

"Mom, look! I've become a magical girl!"

"She really is on camera! That's amazing!"

"Listen up, you lot! From now on, we are all superhumans with power surpassing that of humans. You old humans should all be our slaves!"

"Stop filming! The situation is getting increasingly chaotic...!"

"This is so funny! It's all in complete chaos... Hmm? You want to interview me? Oh dear, I don't know what to say right now, I'm a little nervous..."

"Hey—! The camera over there is filming me! As you can see, I'm a magical girl too! If you want to follow any related topics in the future, feel free to follow my personal website channel. Just subscribe to a membership to learn more about magical girls!"

Chaos, enthusiasm, excitement, goodwill and malice.

The scene, interspersed with the above content, instantly became unpredictable.

Magical girls who expose themselves to the camera without caring about their identities, magical girls who regret exposing themselves to the public because things have become too chaotic, magical girls who gradually begin to promote their identities as a money-making motive, or magical girls who start doing all sorts of chaotic things.

The world today is completely different from the world a few minutes ago.

"What...what exactly happened?"

Gates was so shocked by the situation that he couldn't say a word.
