Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

He directly inserted two black watch faces into the girl's heart.

Dark emotions, long-suppressed despair... and a newly born despair that surpasses all previous levels to its maximum extent.

Like a withered leaf, the girl was on the verge of dying. Her mind was filled with all the words about Teed, all the experiences and memories she had had up to this point.

In that final moment.

Cinderella's shattered fantasy has been forever extinguished.

Endless blackness, transformed into something blacker than the sky, something crimson redder than blood, swept across the world.

—That was reaching an unprecedented, ultimate darkness.

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

"What is that?!"

Gates, Wozniak, and the Electric King who had just arrived from a short distance away.

Everyone saw that scene.

A dark red glow, even blacker than the sky, suddenly erupted from the distant horizon... No one knew what it was, but a terrifying power was already gathering.

"This is stranger than any energy I've ever sensed before. Although its power isn't that strong, what exactly is it?!"

The endless darkness transformed into a raging wind and dust, engulfing the city and the already black sky, bursting out of the earth.

"It's a success... that thing has finally worked!"

It seems that Teed, who created that monster over there, was just an avatar.

Teed, standing on this side, also smiled. He gazed into the darkness in the distance, and the smile on his face was one of unparalleled joy.

*Pfft!*

The next instant, Gates pulled his body directly to the ground.

"You bastard…"

"Hehehehe—hahahahahahahaha?!"

"What exactly did you do? Stop playing tricks on me, what is that thing?!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha oh oh—?!!"

They've completely gone mad.

The exaggerated laughter of the man before him even sent a chill down Gates' spine, but—that wasn't the scariest part.

"...This is bad."

Yan Ming is the only person who can foresee the future.

He immediately looked up and headed straight for Gates.

next moment.

The black storm, which should have been more than ten kilometers away, arrived directly at their location.

Gates' body was sent flying in an instant.

boom--!!!

In his fierce form, with his specialized defensive capabilities, Gates was instantly sent flying nearly fifteen kilometers away, smashing a quarter of the city in the process.

"Mr. Gates!"

The sudden turn of events completely stunned Woz, and Yan Ming didn't even have time to intervene.

Moreover, that was Gang Lie, the resurrected being with the strongest defense... yet he was still knocked away in an instant.

"Hey... what is that dark thing? What is it at all?!"

Momotaros and the others rushed over, but now, no one could answer them.

Something black, like a storm, slowly receded.

But within that darkness lies something far more terrifying than the darkness that pervades the entire earth… the whole world.

A black and red, humanoid monster.

It hovers in mid-air, with huge, wing-like things growing from its back, and its entire body is over several meters long.

Like an insect, a monster with a hideous face... whose eyes are forever filled with tears of despair.

"Another...Kuuga?"

The alien knight, devoid of any sense of self, slowly turned around.

then.

From the distant reaches of space, a corner of Earth... flickered with an extremely exaggerated black and red hue.

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 436 The Ancient Alien Warrior

In this near-future era, the city is called Mitakihara.

The population is quite considerable, and many young people live here. Recently, with the increase in various magical girl-related content, the city has gradually become more lively.

After school, middle and high school students constantly discuss various magical girls. Young children and children from wealthy families also have the opportunity to play together. The city operates relatively smoothly, and from time to time, many trendy things are born here.

It's not a particularly desirable city, but it's still a very special one... and it gives people a strong sense of belonging.

just now.

This place has been completely reduced to ruins, with boundless destruction pervading everything here.

Various explosion marks are scattered throughout Mitakihara, including what look like small meteorite craters and building debris that looks like they were pulled up one by one by a giant's fingers.

Regardless of the type of wreckage, there was no trace of life.

The people who originally lived here were all forced to take refuge underground. Those who did not have time to take refuge either died or continued to flee in a hopeless chase with the monster.

It stands there atop the destroyed hill.

It floated in mid-air, its transparent wings trembling slightly, in a posture that defied conventional creature behavior.

"Anomaly...Kuuga".

Gazing at the several-meter-tall figure, Woz couldn't help but whisper.

"Impossible... How could such a thing happen? Even Kuuga, how could he possibly reach that level—"

"That's right. So what if it's Kuuga? Even if all the Kamen Riders' powers were combined, they shouldn't be able to reach this level."

Teed, who had appeared out of nowhere, looked down at them from his high vantage point.

"—That's what you all think, right?"

As if his heart had been pierced, Wozniak stood there, his body tense.

"Don't worry, because this... is the kind of thinking a normal person should have."

Alien Void.

Turning his head slightly to look at the foreign object, Tide stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

"Because I never intended to use such superficial power to deal with you from the very beginning."

The next moment.

As if receiving a command, Another Kuuga… that twisted warrior with a demonic appearance, suddenly began to tremble all over his body—

"Now, the Another Kuuga standing before you, although a product of the Kamen Rider worldview, has completely surpassed the Kamen Rider worldview itself in power."

"However, that's not enough at all; it's not fun at all."

A buzzing sound... Red electricity flashed continuously across the body of the alien Kuuga.

Its pair of red, ghostly eyes trembled as it uncontrollably unfurled its enormous arms.

"As a product of the Kamen Rider worldview, this guy not only wants to surpass the original Kamen Rider's worldview, but also the entire magical girl worldview!"

"Ooo ...

A deep red wave suddenly erupted from the entire body of Another Kuuga.

In the instant it erupted, a massive shockwave swept through the entire city, then the country, the continent… and the Earth.

However, even with such violent fluctuations, it seems that not an inch of the earth itself was damaged.

However, it attracted something else instead.

From every corner of the earth, in every region, beams of black light were drawn in.

And they all rushed into the formed alien void body.

"This guy! Is he absorbing power? Could it be... the power of a witch?"

When it comes to absorbing power, that was one of the things that the original Kamen Rider Kuuga was good at, and even the version that was an outlier inherited this skill.

It absorbs the power of all the witches on Earth from all over the world into its body.

No, it's not that simple—

When Woz observed more closely, he discovered that the source of the black glow was not just this planet.

"...How is that possible?"

Those spacetime rifts, opened up in the sky and within the universe, connecting to other worlds, were also sending various kinds of black light towards that alien void self.

boom!!

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted.

Woz only saw a flash of golden sparks ahead, followed by Another Kuuga's body being blasted backward.

"Get started, Woz."

A silver-purple demon king descended upon him.

Before Woz could think any further, Yan Ming had already made his move.

At this moment, the king's voice sounded extremely resolute.

"Just as you thought, that alien void is absorbing the power of witches from all parallel worlds. If it continues to grow stronger like this, you won't be able to find anyone in the whole world who can defeat it."

Through the spacetime gaps opened by the God's Train to various different worlds, and then through these gaps to the Ghost Train that resurrects all the dead witches in other worlds.

Now, the power generated by those resurrected witches is being transferred into the body of the Otherworldly Kuuga through this spacetime rift.

And it showed no sign of bursting... it would just keep absorbing power endlessly like this.

If that's the case, then by the time it completely ends its evolution—

This world.

It's probably hopeless.

boom--!!

Another gust of extremely strong wind swept up, and this time, it was Yan Ming who made the move.

He held the sword in both hands and instantly appeared in front of the tall figure, swinging his sword without hesitation.

"Zi-O is the strongest!"

"Overlord Slash!"

iridescent light swirled around the sword, unleashing a powerful yet fluid slash.

Beneath the crisscrossing sword marks, the extreme pressure caused Another Kuuga's enormous body to tremble continuously.

The faint sparks and smoke dissipated.

The enormous monster, however, was completely unharmed.

At that moment, Yan Ming, who was fighting in the form of Zi-O II, saw the future.

With his deep red eyes staring intently at Yan Ming, a murderous intent that spread like mist exploded outwards as if it were endless!

boom!!

The shockwave from the explosion caused the earth to lose its foundation.

In just a short moment, the ground where they were standing was completely destroyed.

Boom! Within a radius of nearly thirty kilometers underground, countless rock formations and interfaces were destroyed, and crimson light rippled outwards.
