Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

It was a dark red light that stretched across the entire sky.

The dark red beam of light, surrounded by some kind of twisted spiraling force, shot directly out of the atmosphere and flew towards the sun in one breath.

Upon seeing this, Teed finally revealed his most satisfied smile.

"It worked... that thing."

Volume 9, The Demon King Appears: Chapter 432: Has He Brought Reinforcements?

*Thud!* The blade swept across the space in front of it.

Urtaros, Kintaros, Ryutaros, and Sieg, the four Den-O transformed from the four of them, wiped out all the witches in a large area.

despite this.

"There are just too many of them... we can't possibly kill them all!"

The four otherworldly gods stood close together, back to back.

After unleashing a devastating attack that wiped out all the surrounding witches, new witches will either fall from the sky or emerge from the ground.

This situation has been going on for a full ten minutes.

"I said, we need to think of a solution quickly!"

The only one with shooting ability, Lontaros, continues to fire in all directions, but this does nothing to slow down the witches' attack.

"If this continues, I won't be able to hold on any longer...!"

"This is truly unacceptable... How could someone as elegant and graceful as me be forced into this situation!"

"Alright, everyone, let's talk less and save our energy."

Putaros once again swung his holy staff, using a large number of witches as human shields to block them in front of him.

"The path to our senior's place has been blocked by these monsters. Really... this means we'll have to rely on ourselves."

"We can't hold on any longer! At this rate, they'll catch us sooner or later!"

The four Otherworldly Gods were very powerful, but they couldn't withstand the sheer number of enemies.

The four of them had been fighting with all their might for a long time and were already exhausted.

"hateful…"

After holding on for a few more minutes, the four of them began to pant heavily.

They were almost too weak to even swing their weapons.

"I'm not going to make it... am I really going to have to kneel here?"

Covered in sweat, Purtalos couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Don't do this! I still have so many girls I like who I haven't even dated yet, and you expect me to just give in like this..."

"Kame-chan, I think I see stars..."

"Hang in there, Ryuta! No matter what, we can't fall down. Stay alert! Don't let your brain get clouded!"

"That's not how it works! I meant you all need to look up at the sky! Look up at the sky!"

Upon hearing what Longtaros said, the others quickly looked up.

—Huh?

"No way?"

Under their watchful eyes, a shooting star suddenly flashed across the dark sky.

It was a green starlight.

Moreover, that starlight is currently flying rapidly toward the ground where they are!

"We're going to crash!"

"Wait! That's not a meteorite!"

It's a train.

The train is dark green and has a bull's head-like front end.

As the train emitted its whistle, it approached them at top speed.

Just as it was about to collide with the four Otherworldly Gods, the train spun around at a perfect angle, swinging its body out of control.

Thump—!

Looking around, almost all the witches were swept into the sky by this exaggerated attack.

Two other people suddenly jumped out of that bull-head-shaped train.

"Tianjin Si, go rescue those otherworldly demons in the wilderness!"

"Leave it to me, Yudou!"

A bird-like figure landed on the ground.

In an instant, it raised its hands, and at the same time, countless cannonballs blasted away all the witches blocking the way for the four.

"Ahhh, it's Fatty Four! Fatty Four's here!"

The ones who came to their rescue were none other than Kamen Rider Zeronos and his Imagin, Tensei.

"How are you all doing?"

"I'm so glad to see you here, Yudou!"

After transforming, Sakurai Ikuto quickly took out his weapon and immediately cleared away the surrounding witches once again.

Relying on the Zero-Liner's massive firepower, the horde of witches, which had previously seemed endless like a locust plague, was wiped out in an instant.

"Thank goodness, we're saved..."

Once they confirmed that the situation around them had finally calmed down, the four demon gods finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Yu Dou! I thought I was going to be crushed into a pie!"

"No need to thank me like that."

Sakurai Ikuto slung his sword over his shoulder and took a breath.

"I just came here to bring reinforcements."

"Save...save the reinforcements?"

The four otherworldly gods were immediately bewildered.

"Who is it? Who's there to help?"

"Well..."

Gazing at the distant sky, Yu Dou couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"You'll find out soon enough."

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

Storms and torrential rains continue to fall all over the world.

The residents of Takihara City immediately fled to the shelters that the government had recently prepared, as instructed. However, even so—

Even if everyone chooses to take refuge immediately, what good will it do in a time like the end of the world?

"Hurry up, Xiaoyan!"

Homura Akemi was walking with her parents in a evacuation procession.

There were still many people ahead of them, and the line stretched as far as the eye could see. The government officials were extremely busy, but even so, they couldn't complete the evacuation in time.

"Damn it... at this rate, it's too late!"

"Stop talking nonsense, there's no time for us to complain now!"

The people in charge of the evacuation were shouting excitedly, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"Listen carefully, we're going to take everyone here away... We're going to take everyone to the shelter, so don't think about anything else, that's all you should be thinking about right now, understand... Do you all understand?!"

Just then.

The ground suddenly shook as soon as the official in charge of leading the team finished speaking.

Boom—!

In the distance, a terrifying scene, like a volcanic eruption, instantly illuminated everyone's eyes.

"what…!"

The people in the queue were all stunned.

"No, don't stop here! Everyone, follow me forward! We'll reach the nearest shelter in about 300 meters—!!"

The tremors did not stop; instead, they became even more intense.

Boom!! Then, the ground was torn apart.

The asphalt road instantly became dilapidated, and countless strange and complex shadows surged out from the depths of the ground.

"Monster, monster...!!"

She's a witch.

Accompanied by a strange phenomenon that suddenly erupted in the sky, countless witches appeared in Mitakihara City all at once.

Some of them fell from the sky, some emerged directly from the depths of the ground just like before, and some even appeared out of thin air...

"Tsk... Hurry up and close the protective door!!"

Several officials shouted, and a large number of other officials immediately sprang into action, quickly pushing the gate open.

But—it didn't work.

Even though they had just pushed the door open, dozens of beams of light, like heat rays, swept directly towards them.

Boom!!

The massive iron gate was disintegrated almost instantly.

It's not simply burning or physical destruction, but rather transforming the iron gate itself into iron blocks and pillars.

Such a bizarre phenomenon cannot be explained by scientific laws at all.

"Charge! They're coming! All those guys are coming!!"

Following this lead, countless witches scaled the ruins and rushed directly inside.

"Run! Move forward quickly!"

"Don't turn around! Or you'll be killed by the monster!"

"Mom...I don't want to die! Mom!!"

The cries of people, their sobs, their desperate shouts.

The witches who were listening to all these sounds, though it was unclear whether they had any self-awareness... were laughing.

Just as they seemed to enjoy listening to the desperate wails and mournful cries of the people before them, the witches emitted a constant, piercing, and eerie laugh.

In their eyes, the more suffering the human race endures, the happier they are.

This is the true embodiment of "despair".

"Xiao Yan, come over here quickly! We need to leave right away!"

The group became increasingly disorganized, and Homura Akemi's parents gradually separated from their daughter.

however--

She had been walking with the crowd because she didn't want her parents to know her identity, but she ended up stopping in her tracks.

"Little Flame! What are you doing?! Move something!!"

Behind them, countless witches had caught up again. At this rate, no one could escape, and everyone would die here.

After her parents were killed, it was the other people around her, and then the people she knew at school, Sayaka, Mami Tomoe, and the others.

…And, Xiaoyuan.

The person I once tried my best to protect, the important person I absolutely couldn't let get into trouble with, no matter what.
