Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Why have so many magical girls and witches suddenly appeared? And why have they all come here?

After naturally letting their thoughts wander, all three of them were able to figure out who the mastermind was.

"Was it that guy who did it...?!"

Teedo... he's the only one left who has the ability to keep creating magical girls.

But how exactly was this done? How could the number of magical girls and witches have increased so dramatically overnight, and how could they be allowed to appear so brazenly in the city, exposed to the public...?

"Now... what should we do?"

Gates couldn't help but look at Yan Ming.

With so many magical girls exposed to the public, the entire society was instantly thrown into turmoil and riots... This was a situation that no one could have predicted.

Watching what was happening before his eyes, Yan Ming and the two of them ran together into a nearby alley.

"Let's go back first."

"Go back...? You mean we should just leave this situation as it is?"

"Staying here now won't change anything. Even if I turned back time, it wouldn't work. Nobody knows exactly when these people became magical girls."

He expressed his opinion word by word.

"There's no need for much guessing. The person who caused this situation must be Teed, and he can certainly guess what I'm planning to do after seeing these things happen."

"But...why? How did he do it? And...why?"

No one can answer this question.

The situation changed too abruptly, and Yan Ming simply took out the Decade driving watch and opened an aurora curtain to return to the apartment.

"...It seems they're really planning something big this time."

————————————————————————

An hour has passed since what happened this morning.

After that, something even more exciting happened.

It's not just Mitakihara City... but other cities in Japan, and even in other countries, in all sorts of civilized and advanced places around the world—the same situation has occurred.

Witches appeared one after another in the city, and then many magical girls suddenly appeared and destroyed them. Then they were all filmed and made the news, trending in various countries... and then trending all over the world.

The world has descended into utter chaos, and magical girls have become the hottest topic in the world.

"Unbelievable... From a scientific point of view, the reality I witnessed should be impossible. How could just a few small scepters and swords provide these girls with such immense power?"

"Unbelievable! Ladies and gentlemen, I've discovered something recorded in this book from over a hundred years ago! Look! Isn't this a magical girl? That means the magical girl race actually existed on Earth a hundred years ago!"

"Of all these magical girls, I like the one named Airu-chan the most! Her pink hair is so cute, hehehe~!"

"Regarding the magical girl incident reported this morning, the government has attached great importance to it. Furthermore, the highest-ranking military officer in the current U.S. military has given a new assessment of the existence referred to as magical girls—"

"Please, everyone, refrain from any contact with anything related to magical girls. If you witness a magical girl appearing near you—"

"Let me tell you, they're monsters! Did you see that? Those little girls single-handedly cut down all those enormous monsters! Do you think people with such power would just sit idly by? They're not human anymore!"

"Then let's have a good chat about today's events, but we're going to talk about a witch closely related to magical girls. If you're interested, please click the button here to subscribe to my membership channel, and we'll start a paid live stream shortly—"

Every imaginable and unimaginable opinion erupted.

The government's response and the military's perspective, the extremely urgent discussions and deliberations among countries around the world, and the various responses from the public to these matters.

Whether you reject them, acknowledge their existence, or use these terms as marketing gimmicks to make a profit, society has now descended into utter chaos to an extremely terrifying degree.

It only took a short hour.

Yan Ming, Wozniak, and Gates sat in the room, while the television continuously broadcasted news about the day's events.

"...It seems that the upper echelons of the countries in this world have also become tense."

Woz changed the channel, but no matter which channel it was, they were all reporting on today's events.

"Some countries even regard magical girls as super soldiers successfully obtained through so-called human experimentation, while some places with stronger religious beliefs worship them as legendary gods or angels. Alien enthusiasts regard them as pure aliens, and some even regard them as pure monsters or medieval witches..."

"So what exactly happened... You've had this bitter look on your faces ever since you came back. Is something really bad going to happen?"

"This is not just bad... it's extremely bad."

Some of the more oblivious Otherworldly beings might not yet feel the full impact, but Gates and Woz have clearly sensed the situation gradually worsening.

"The existence of magical girls and witches has been exposed to the world. It is likely that they will soon face the question of whether humanity can accept them."

"Are those little girls...fools? Why would they reveal their identities? Don't they know how much chaos they'll cause?"

"There are probably all sorts of reasons. Some people simply want to become famous with this identity, some want to seize the opportunity to make money with their magical girl identity, and some just pop up on their own for fun..."

Woz said slowly.

"...After all, not everyone can control their temper after gaining power; they will all want to do their own thing to some extent."

Gates was speechless, while Yan Ming... after thinking it over, went straight back to his bedroom.

Then, he took out his laptop.

What are you planning to do?

"To confirm one thing."

First, we need to check different websites in various countries…

Using certain techniques, Yan Ming directly identified the key information he needed.

"This is it..."

Wozniak and Gates leaned over to look at the screen.

"This is…"

That footage must be... surveillance cameras? And various cameras from different regions of different countries...

"You didn't mean to hack all the cameras in different countries and regions, did you?!"

"It simply retrieved their historical records from yesterday, and then compared them with popular online images to find the corresponding information."

"How...how did you do that?"

"Just a little skill I learned on my own before."

What Gates didn't know was that Yan Ming possessed far more knowledge than he could imagine.

That's it... After comparing the image information, Yan Ming adjusted all the recording files from each camera to the same time and location.

It was 1 a.m.... which was also the time when the so-called meteor shower was supposed to happen last night.

The people shown on the screen are people that none of them are strangers to.

"So it really is Tede?"

However, upon seeing him, Gates' face immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

"How...is this possible?"

because--

The time was around 1 a.m. yesterday, within that time frame—

Cameras all over the world captured Teed's image in various places.

"Doesn't that mean that guy... he appeared in different cities in different countries around the world at the same time?!"

At this moment, the familiar figure in the picture felt increasingly eerie to Gates.

Super Time Jacker Teed, no… this is completely beyond what a Time Jacker can do.

So what exactly is he trying to do?

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 387 I Will Prove Everything Through Actions

Mitakihara High School.

The morning should be when students are having regular classes.

But in the current state of information overload, no one can continue to concentrate on their lessons.

"What are you saying..."

"Don't you guys know? This news has gone viral all over the world! Magical girl, oh magical girl!"

"You don't mean the kind of girl who only appears in anime and games, do you...?"

"No, no! Open your phones! You should all be able to see those news reports; they're all over the world!"

Several classmates urged them on excitedly, and the students in the class all began to look down at the various messages on their phones.

"Really?!"

"This morning, a mysterious monster appeared on the streets of Takihara City, and the mysterious group that killed it called themselves magical girls... This kind of phenomenon has occurred in countries all over the world?!"

"Look at this video! It doesn't look fake at all!"

"This...this really isn't special effects?"

"Is this for real? Magical girls exist in reality? Are you guys out of your minds to think about such unhealthy things?"

"Still being stubborn? Take a closer look. This is information that even the mayor has publicly acknowledged—no, even the government has spoken out! What else do you want to say?"

"this…"

"My God... if this is true, are all these magical girls aliens?"

"Is it possible that they are all subterranean beings? Because they were forced to hide underground due to some kind of meteorite impact, and now they have come to the surface to try and reclaim it!"

"Stop overthinking! Didn't you see what it says? It's been confirmed that all magical girls are people living in our city; they are all beings who were originally human!"

"How can you be so sure? That's what the government said. Do you think the government isn't covering something up?"

"I think these people have been pretending to be humans since a long time ago, and they've been doing it ever since..."

Various discussions were taking place throughout the class, and the students completely lost their desire to learn, focusing all their attention on this.

Almost everyone talks about magical girls and witches, but because magical girls receive more attention, there are still more people discussing this topic.

*Thud*—The thing I was holding slipped from my grasp and fell to the ground.

"Magic... girl?"

Homura Akemi could hardly believe what she was hearing.

She quickly opened her phone to check, just like her other classmates.

as predicted…

The various messages scrolling across my phone came from Mitakihara City, from the United States, from Canada, and from all sorts of other countries…

All the reports were about magical girls and witches.

How could this be...? Homura Akemi felt a little dizzy, and an extremely unreal feeling welled up in her heart.

"Little Flame!"

"Wow, something big has happened!"

Xiaoyuan and Sayaka returned to their classroom at that moment.

However, their sudden loud shouts immediately attracted the attention of the other students in the class.

"Uh…"

"Sayaka! Don't shout like that at a time like this!"

Madoka quickly pulled Sayaka to Homura Akemi's side and whispered something to her.

Then, the two of them looked at Homura Akemi as if asking a question.

"..."

After a slight pause, Homura Akemi quickly put away her phone and nodded.

"Let's talk on the rooftop..."

Under the astonished gazes of their classmates, the three of them left the classroom.

"Huh... what's wrong with those three?"

"Sayaka is one thing, she's always been so carefree, but it's quite rare to see Madoka like this too."
