Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Without hesitation, he flew into the air, his entire body crackling with ultimate black electricity.

With the same immense force, try to offset it as much as possible.

"Cough... Haaaaaaahh ...

The terrifying radiance, spreading out like waves, completely broke through Yusuke's defenses and knocked him to the ground.

The black and gold Kuuga didn't even turn back to white; instead, he went straight back to human form.

In this way.

All the warriors fell.

"Why…"

I can't understand it.

All the knights stared in disbelief at the terrifying figure that blotted out the sky—how could it have become so strong?

Snap—Snap.

The sound of applause rang in their ears.

"I really didn't expect that."

Teed, the Time Jacker, has returned to the public eye once again.

In the heart of this city, which was even more desolate than ruins, he appeared incredibly smug.

"I thought you guys would have collapsed by the time we reached that stage, but you've managed to hold on until now."

"you…"

Everyone was staring at him.

However, Yan Ming, as if he had just realized something, immediately had a look of sudden understanding on his face.

"Could it be that you've harnessed all the power in this world?"

"...As expected, we still need you to solve the mystery."

In Tide's view, it was all like a guessing game, and the only person who answered correctly was Yan Ming.

"Didn't I tell you? I unlocked the limits of that Another Rider."

Then, Teed raised his hand and slowly pointed to the sky.

"Take a good look."

A monster over 300 meters tall, now—

It had already opened its blood-red maw, swallowing the entire sky, no—the entire world…all the worlds.

Then, the witches who covered all the worlds.

All the trains of gods and ghost trains that cover the sky.

And through those spacetime rifts, the negative emotions of all the other witches in this world, and all the human races in the universe—

They were all absorbed into the monster's body.

It was still trembling violently.

The exaggerated body trembled and twisted incessantly—gradually transforming into something other than a knight.

Do not…

Even twisted into that shape, it is still a knight.

"It has absorbed all the power that belongs to this world."

The negative emotions of human races in various parallel worlds brought about by the time train, the resentment of witches from all worlds, the God Train and the Ghost Train, the singularities of the worlds, and the chosen special times…

"Kamen Rider has now lived for fifty-one years, and by creating Another Rider based on this time, I can theoretically surpass all of you Riders, but... that's just talk."

"Look, there have been a whole bunch of them so far, haven't there? They've talked about the strongest monster, the strongest demon king, the strongest legion, and so on. But every time, they've all been defeated by you knights who just ganged up on each other and used things like knight kicks, giant forms, and super teams to defeat them."

Then, Tide's tone completely changed.

"But this time, it's completely different."

"I changed this thing's potential, making things that were theoretically possible... actually possible."

That means...

From the Showa era to the Heisei era, into the present Reiwa era, and those so-called knights from the future, from various parallel worlds—

No one can defeat it.

But that was only one of Teed's goals, that's right...

"Now, it has absorbed everything in this magical girl worldview. This world was originally supposed to give birth to an entity called the Law of Cycles, but because it did not, no one has the ability to stop it anymore."

"And soon, this thing will go to other worlds, just like it did here, using this magical girl world and the Kamen Rider world as a foundation, to continuously destroy countless worldviews and integrate their power into its body."

"At first glance, it might seem like a stitched-together thing, but even though it's stitched together so many worldviews, it's still a knight!"

That's right.

Even after changing to this extent... it still primarily uses the power of Another Kuuga to cause destruction, only its strength has increased without limit, and countless powers and worlds have been stitched together within its body.

"Why aren't you happy? Cheer up!! Even if all of you Kamen Riders are dead, and the entire Kamen Rider universe is destroyed, this guy will still live! Even if all the worlds are wiped out and devoured, this Kamen Rider will still be alive! Although he's an Another Rider, his name is Kamen Rider Kuuga! This powerful guy, this monster with the strength to destroy all worlds, his name is Kamen Rider!!"

"Don't you feel honored? Don't you feel proud? For thousands of years, your Kamen Rider worldview has been full of worthless trash, some of whom couldn't even smash a broken Earth. Now, you finally have someone who is invincible and can kill all the worlds!"

"Clap and celebrate! Now you Kamen Riders are the strongest, the most invincible! What about those universe-destroying powerhouses? What about destroying countless universes, infinite universes, what about millions, billions, hundreds of billions, or even hundreds of layers of infinite universes? This guy can annihilate, devour, kill, wipe them all out—and he's using your Kamen Rider names! You Kamen Riders have the ability to destroy so many universes! Even destroying billions of infinitely large, infinitely multi-dimensional universes wouldn't be enough to defeat him, right? Amazing, isn't it? Nobody can beat Kamen Riders, hehehehe, thank me now!!!"

crazy.

No one would believe that the man in front of them still had a normal mind. Although he was still standing here in a human form, what he was thinking was something that even Yan Ming could not understand.

"You're going to do all this just for something like that?"

Whether it was Yan Ming or anyone else present, there was only one thought about his way of thinking.

"You're pathetic."

Then, in an instant, Teed's manic smile vanished, replaced by an incredibly calm demeanor.

He looked at them as if in a daze, then shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it, I'm pretty crazy too. You guys are just a bunch of natives trapped in their worldviews, you haven't even considered that this world might be a creation of someone else."

Tide smiled and turned his head away.

“Kill them.”

There was nothing more to say.

The black and gold monster roared and strode forward, crushing countless blocks with each step.

ended.

The black shadows completely enveloped them all, and even if they had the will to resist, no one could resolve the current situation.

Is this how it ends?

how is this possible.

For such a trivial reason, for such a meaningless thing... to destroy this world and ruin the lives of countless people—

"That's right, the end is also the beginning. When everything ends, it is also the beginning of new hope."

"…ah?"

I heard a sound.

Tide turned his head in surprise, and then—

A white deity appeared there.

"you…"

"When everything ends, it doesn't mean the end; destruction precedes creation, that's true..."

"The reason why everyone is failing now is so that you can inherit our will."

Then.

"Stand up."

The god named Kuzuha Kota looked in Yan Ming's direction.

"Your journey shouldn't end here! Stand up, Kalachakra Yama!"

"Think carefully about why it has to be you standing here, and what the true meaning of the name Zi-O is! Wake up, Demon King!"

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 443 The Strongest Golden Watch

…clatter.

where is this?

When I opened my eyes again, it was a different world.

Black and gold, silver and purple.

and also--

A hazy, indistinct pure gold that gradually took shape.

Tap, tap—

The sound came from beside his ear, and when Yan Ming turned his head to look behind him—

Countless enormous clock wheels appeared before him.

"I see."

After only a few seconds of observation and confirmation, Yan Ming understood everything.

Is this a place similar to my inner world?

Then, butterflies, like flower petals, flew past Yan Ming.

"Indeed, only a god like you could accomplish such a thing."

From the direction from which the butterflies flew, stood a man... a man whose entire body was covered in pure white light.

Kuzuha Hirota.

In this inner world that belongs only to Yan Ming, only the two of them can exist here.

"I cannot interfere with your inner world. In a place like this, I can only barely enter through the dial as a medium."

But that's not the point.

Kuzue Kota looked behind Yan Ming at the huge, cracked and broken clock wheel.

Ahead, the indistinct golden yellow gradually began to take shape.

"You should know very well what you should do next."

As they spoke in this fictional world, time in the real world flowed by incredibly slowly.

It won't be long.

That extraordinary knight, surpassing even the legends, will destroy this world.

So...it's about time, isn't it?

—Gain the approval of the nineteen main Kamen Riders of the Heisei era, and then completely inherit the history of all of them.

"actually."

Looking at Yan Ming, Kuzue Hirota couldn't help but say something.

"As long as you don't do anything reckless that harms the world and have the right mindset, no one should think you're not a true Kamen Rider, right?"

"But...you are not just an ordinary knight, you are also 'Zi-O,' a king who inherits all the history of the knights and simultaneously rules over all the knights."

"Are you capable of shouldering that heavy responsibility and its significance?"

Actually.

Kuzuha Kota had no idea what kind of person Shirin Enmei really was.

Why did Woz choose him to become Zi-O? Why at this crucial moment? Who exactly is he? All these questions remain unanswered to this day, and perhaps even Yan Ming himself is unsure.
