Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Then came the other witches... They kept attacking from underground, in buildings, and in the sky, from all sorts of places, reigning supreme on this street.

This scene was just like... the end times described in the Bible.

And it was at this very moment.

A few tiny figures finally emerged from the vicinity.

"Haaah—!!"

It was a girl holding a long sword.

As the girl shouted, she slashed at the monster with her sword, severing its arm in one fell swoop.

Following closely behind were even more girls dressed in bizarre styles.

Each girl held some strange object in her hand; some were axes, others even spoons, but whatever they were, they were all weapons used to fight witches.

The girls each used their unique abilities and weapons to eliminate the witches that emerged from the depths of the road.

"It's a magical girl..."

People quickly took the opportunity to flee in all directions.

But then, one van after another started to drive out.

There was even a helicopter circling overhead.

"Ladies and gentlemen, did you see that? That's right! This is a live broadcast of the magical girls of Mitakihara City fighting against the monster witch from outside!"

The sound emanating from the loudspeaker echoed throughout the street, causing the magical girls to click their tongues in amazement.

"Ugh... those guys at the TV station are so annoying!"

"It's okay, we're the ones who benefit anyway, aren't we?"

"I don't like being photographed directly by a camera..."

"Alright, let's quickly take care of these witches and then end this as soon as possible!"

The pink-haired twin-tailed girl who had been holding a long sword gripped her weapon again and flew up with the magical girls around her.

Everyone is a stranger to each other, and everyone has their own identity in real life.

However... whenever something like this happens that could harm people, these magical girls all appear together without prior arrangement.

They are the embodiment of fighting monsters to protect peace.

I believe that she wasn't the only one; many other magical girls felt the same way!

When I think about it this way, I feel a surge of power welling up inside me…!

"Haa!"

*Splat!* Black blood splattered everywhere.

The girl skillfully dodged the blood gushing from the witch's body and cleaved the enormous monster in two.

On the other side, the other magical girls did the same thing.

"Phew...it's almost over."

She jumped to the roof of a nearby building in one breath.

There are not many witches left in front of us. Although most of them are huge, the number of magical girls is overwhelming.

I imagine the battle will be completely over in a little while.

The girl breathed a slight sigh of relief; the people had mostly been evacuated... and everything was fine now.

So, it's about time to think about what to do next.

"Hmm... I guess I should just go to the dessert shop and buy some food."

She remembered that she had a tutoring class to attend that evening—and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Ugh... Mom always schedules so much after-school tutoring for me, so I definitely need to buy lots of desserts to replenish my sugar levels!"

"Let me think for a moment, that... the cake shop around this street, I think it's called..."

——Crash.

Time seemed to stand still.

The girl's thoughts were abruptly interrupted at this moment.

"...Eh...?"

Her eyes widened as she slowly looked down... her whole body was floating forward.

And on the chest, where the Soul Gem is placed.

It had been completely pierced into a lump of rotten flesh by the black spikes that had emerged from behind.

*Pfft—Sizzle!*

Then, under the watchful eyes of so many magical girls, she was immediately torn to shreds by two sharp spikes.

"Ugh...?!"

"That, that guy—!"

Of the approximately thirty-six magical girls, nearly half were so frightened that they trembled all over and even vomited on the spot.

Because the torn flesh and the yellowish-white paste were still floating in the air.

Naturally, the TV crew also filmed all of this.

"Don't get distracted! Look behind you—!"

It's unclear who shouted that, but most people were forced to come to their senses.

A giant hand then slammed down.

The vast majority of magical girls desperately tried to escape, but a small number were still in a daze.

then.

The enormous hand, over five meters long, slammed them directly to the ground.

"Alas…!"

"What...? This is all...?"

The girls who witnessed all of this trembled, were terrified, and even lost the will to fight.

The few remaining girls who were still able to fight were repeatedly driven back.

"What exactly happened? Why, why did it turn out like this..."

"The number of witches... has increased..."

These are the words of a magical girl whose hand has been cut off.

"I don't know what happened, ugh...where did these guys come from—"

"Quick, get out of the way! Get behind me!!"

Several girls watched all of this, and then—their faces were splattered with liquid.

"Waaaaah!"

The person at the very front squatted down and vomited repeatedly... while the girls behind them seemed to have completely lost their charm.

That's right.

So far, they have relied on sheer numbers to overwhelm the briefly appearing witches, and have almost never encountered a situation where they suffered more serious injuries than minor ones. Their combat experience is severely lacking.

Today's unfolding is an experience these magical girls have never had before.

No one could speak anymore. Everyone was almost straddling the ground, their eyes vacant, and some had even lost control of their bladders from fright.

A gigantic witch then leaped over, tilted her head, and slammed down with her hand, which resembled a truck.

Thud! The helicopter hovering in the air was also destroyed.

The propeller and the machine body, now split in two, hurtled straight toward the girls.

—It was at a time like this.

All the nightmarish scenes—all of them—came to a standstill.

Om-! !

It was a silver figure that descended directly onto the street.

Without saying a word, he raised his sword with one hand and slashed at the enormous witch in front of him.

As the arc of light passed by, the witch's body, accompanied by a purple stream of light, completely dispersed into particles, leaving nothing behind.

Shilun Yanming.

Despite having dealt with countless witches and rescued people from the danger of riots on the road, this scene still unfolded.

The magical girls were defeated... The brutal scene of their deaths has been filmed in its entirety on television and will likely be broadcast worldwide soon, undoubtedly an irreversible tragedy.

Even if he rode at full speed, it was still something that had already happened.

But he was able to save it all…

Yan Ming sheathed his sword and obeyed his will—time reversed.

Everything returned to the state before this nightmarish scene unfolded.

No magical girl was injured, the television station never came, and nothing on the planet changed.

but.

The two pointers in front of Yan Ming spun rapidly, showing him the inevitable outcome of the future.

Boom—!!

Countless monsters then descended once more.

Just like the witches before them, they reigned supreme here... constantly surging forth from various locations along the street.

Rewinding time isn't entirely ineffective; rather, all the bad things have been rewritten—except for the witches, who still descend from the sky.

Even if Yan Ming reversed things a thousand times, it probably wouldn't change anything.

It's not because this is the only thing that can't be undone—

He ignored the witches surrounding him and looked towards the end of the street ahead.

There was a man standing there.

A man who, despite being surrounded by witches, remains completely unharmed.

"So you really came."

Super Time Jacker Teed.

Yan Ming then took a step forward, while the witch who was standing directly in front of him, blocking his path, roared and charged at him.

--boom!

Before the witch could even touch Yan Ming's body, she was instantly reduced to ashes by the accelerated time flow, reaching the very end of destruction.

This scene seemed to shock the surrounding witches, who all dared not approach Yan Ming any further.

Yan Ming, on the other hand, took a few steps and stopped near the front of Tide.

The two people looked at each other.

Even though he couldn't see through the silver and gold Time King Tidus II helmet, Tid could guess what Yan Ming's expression was like at that moment.

Yan Ming asked.

"What is your real purpose in turning those innocent girls into magical girls and then making them all despair?"

Then, Tide laughed.

"Aren't you already very close?"

Countless witches seemed to obey his commands.

They suddenly surged up from behind and to the left and right of Yan Ming.
