Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

And following behind him were two other black figures.

"What are all these things...?"

Besides the king cobra, the other two dark figures also materialized into human figures.

A figure of a sword scorpion, its form a deep purple hue.

A ghostly figure, black and silver in color.

Although Gates didn't know who these two people were, but...

"These guys, like this purple knight, are all Kamen Riders, right?"

However, it was definitely not with good intentions.

Kamen Rider Sasword, Kamen Rider Yuuki, and Kamen Rider Ouja.

The three knights who should have been dead have now materialized in the space of the dead.

They did not hesitate at all.

The moment he saw Gates, he rushed straight towards him.

There was no room for any reaction.

Gates almost instinctively raised the axe he was holding to block the attack coming from the front.

Clang—!

With a single stroke, the King Serpent's sword, sharp as a venomous fang, forced Gates backward.

While Gates briefly used his weapon to defend himself, he also noticed two other attacks coming from both sides simultaneously.

"Tsk!"

He couldn't possibly handle so many attacks in an instant.

Gates immediately raised his leg and kicked King Cobra in the belly, sending it flying.

Then, he immediately pressed the button on his weapon, increasing the force.

…A deep red glow covered the axe of time.

Gates roared and swung his weapon around him like a moon.

boom--!!

The crimson halo expanded like a crescent moon, landing in one breath on the chests of Sword Scorpion and Ghost Qi.

The two knights were repelled, and Gates took the opportunity to step back.

"...That's really good."

The king serpent stood up again.

He then took out something resembling a scepter from behind him.

"There's no real reason, but I just want to fight... At a time like this, I can't afford to think about anything else."

"Advent!"

boom--!!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge figure swept through the carriage.

"python…?!"

Actually, it's a cobra.

A gigantic, purple figure burst forth from a nearby wall, roaring as it looked toward Gates.

Under that enormous roar, Gates' body felt as if it were about to be shaken apart.

He gripped his weapon tightly and switched it to bow and arrow mode.

"It's just a bigger target...!"

The magical girls seem to be no longer around, so Geiz can now fight with all his might.

He pulled back the bow and arrow, shooting the arrow, which was now filled with powerful energy, straight out.

At the same time, something resembling venom was also sprayed from the king cobra's mouth.

The two sides clashed, followed by a barrage of arrows fired by Gates.

Boom!! A violent explosion engulfed the King Serpent and his summoned creatures, and at that very moment—

Gates, however, instinctively sensed an aura that was unmatched.

Approaching in an instant with overwhelming speed...

"What—Pewter!"

Then, his body was blasted into the air.

An unseen shadow moved continuously inside the carriage and suddenly threw Gates' body into the air.

The dark warrior named Youqi gripped a long sword with both hands, concentrating invisible power at the tip of the blade, and slashed at Gates.

At the critical moment, Gates quickly switched the mode of his weapon.

Bang! He swung his axe with all his might, and the red shockwave he unleashed tore apart the incoming sword energy, using the recoil to send himself flying.

Almost the instant Gates landed, the invisible figure appeared in front of him.

Bang! His instinctive movement of raising his hand saved him; using the axe in his hand, Gates finally managed to block the continuous attacks coming at him.

"...Similar to Kabuto's acceleration ability?"

Gates grabbed the other person's weapon—it was that dark purple Kamen Rider.

"Why are you fighting me? You're all Kamen Riders too, right? What's your reason?!"

"...I will exterminate all the Zerg."

What? Gates was slightly taken aback upon hearing this answer.

Thump—but the other person kicked him away.

"I will eliminate all those who stand in my way of destroying the Zerg, including myself..."

"What...what are you talking about? I'm not a Zergling, and this isn't your original world anymore!"

"I've said it before, I'm going to wipe out all the Zerg, and if anything tries to stop me..."

No matter how Gates asked or explained, the other party seemed to only say the same things.

The black knight and the cobra-like knight are the same.

All it does is shout things like "I want to fight," and it won't react to anything else.

I see, I see…

"These guys are all dead, probably materialized from this space, like spirits..."

They only act according to their remaining obsessions from their previous life, making them no different from so-called walking corpses.

They can't even find complete peace...

That guy named Teed, even if he has to take advantage of the deceased's last lingering thoughts... he's willing to do whatever he wants.

Gates fell silent.

"What's wrong? Can't you bring me a satisfactory battle anymore?"

King Snake sneered and pointed his weapon in Gates' direction.

"If it's over, then die."

Then, the king cobra behind him sprayed several mouthfuls of venom directly at Gates.

Like a bomb, the venom directly corroded Gates' body, causing a violent explosion.

…but.

"Armor Time!"

As a sound effect rang out, the flames of the explosion were slowly dispersed by some force.

That was a different kind of flame.

It was a deep blue, crimson flame, like the breath of a flying dragon…

And the blue and yellow dragon armor draped over Gates.

"Wake Up Burning! Cross-Z!"

Geiz Cross-Z Armor.

"What a pathetic bunch."

Even if Gates said that, the three undead knights would only respond to him with simple combat.

and so--

Without hesitation, Gates clenched his fists and charged directly toward the three men.

—Thump! !

next moment.

The overwhelming punch, imbued with deep blue power, knocked down the two knights closest to him.

"Huh—?!"

Even though Ghost and Scorpion were warriors capable of high-speed movement using Clock Up, they were instantly overwhelmed by Geiz's punches before they could activate their abilities.

After defeating the two men, Gates leaped into the air.

With a powerful punch... it landed directly on the giant king cobra.

boom--!!

Venom and his fiery fist collided, unleashing an overwhelming explosion.

"Let me completely liberate you and make you disappear forever."

Thump—!

With a single punch, he blasted away the venom spewed from the king cobra's mouth.

Then, Gates seized the current rhythm and instantly took a step forward.

Ignoring the two knights he had already knocked to the ground, he unleashed a powerful punch at the King Serpent.

In that instant, the King Serpent raised its golden longsword in an attempt to block the attack.

boom!

The powerful forces intersected at a single point.

But Gates' power is even greater.

It wasn't just his own strength, but also the enhancement of the Knight Armor... making his punches extraordinary.

Under the deep blue glow, the king cobra's body retreated continuously.

He couldn't even control his own pace at that moment.

Gates pressed his advantage, pressing the dials on the driver repeatedly and turning them.

"Dragonic Time Burst!"

More intense flames engulfed his fist.

This time... it's not just a simple matter of being repelled.

click-

A crack suddenly appeared on the golden longsword of the King Serpent.

As Gates exerted force, the crack began to widen, leading to more cracks.
