Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

and so.

Even though they had already reached the point where they could successfully escape Yan Ming's pursuit.

Teed still raised his hands, channeling the boundless power within him.

"--Well?!"

Then, in a brief moment, he seemed to—truly sense something.

Then he began to absorb everything around him.

This was no joke… Dark red electricity erupted from the trembling Tid, drawing in celestial bodies around him with an irresistible force that disregarded mass and distance, then stars, and finally galaxies—

All sorts of energy and nutrients were transported into Tide's body via those electric currents.

He saw the Milky Way, the universe, and more, an endless universe, and then—all the worlds.

That was the realm he aspired to, the realm he absolutely had to surpass.

"Haha... Ahahaha! That's the feeling... That's it, right?"

Various forces of all levels poured into his body, and the price was that all kinds of galaxies and star clusters around him withered one after another, and then the entire universe began to distort.

"I'm getting stronger! That's right, the power of that eye hasn't abandoned me after all. I'm not weak. I'm someone who has been given an important mission by it. I'm the chosen one who transcends all worldviews!"

*Zzzzz crack!* Then, Tide's body completely changed.

It gradually transformed from a normal humanoid form into an ultimate monster covered in golden thorns.

That is the final stage of transcending the Otherworld and ascending to the ultimate Void Self—

Another-type super-sublimation ultimate Kuuga.

The name may sound a bit convoluted, but it truly is... a transcendent being that surpasses the ultimate Kuuga, a further breakthrough beyond that limit—an anomaly.

However, the alien knight transformed from Teed possessed power far exceeding that of the original Teed.

With a whoosh, he raised his hands high, and the immense power, even just the aftershocks of his movements, began to destroy the surrounding area.

A region with a diameter of 1.1 million light-years is being eroded and destroyed like never before.

"…ha."

Then, something completely condensed in his hands, transforming into an absolute power of black and gold.

Plasma burst arc.

The energy body obtained by ruthlessly compressing all the absorbed power is, however, a more suitable word for describing it than "energy".

—The Big Bang.

By condensing various energies from the universe into the body of the alien avatar, absorbing them, and then forcibly activating them with the ultimate power of alienation, it is transformed into a mutated plasma compressor...

So, what exactly would happen if something this exaggerated were to erupt?

Let alone this universe.

The energy generated after the explosion will be based on the power nature of the alternate self, continuously absorbing the explosions caused by the destruction of the universe. Then, it will further expand into countless parallel worlds, absorbing the energy from the explosions of those parallel universes as well.

Beyond fleeting energy cycles, an endless explosion.

In this way, there would be no need to absorb the power of Grand Zi-O, Tid thought to himself. He wouldn't even need to lift a finger. He could just throw out the Plasma Burst Arc and let the whole world be swallowed up. And then... it would just keep swallowing up other worldviews.

They all have to die.

Everyone will become nourishment that gives him strength; no one can stop him anymore.

"…Um?!"

But Teid saw the light.

In that void where no light should have existed, a radiance suddenly appeared that he could hardly believe—

"What is that?!"

boom--!!!

A miracle that shines even brighter and more dazzlingly than the light of the Milky Way.

Transformed into a golden form that transcends time and distance, surrounded by twenty radiant bodies—

"Yes, it's you!"

Emperor Chonghuang Shiwang.

Now, he was suspended in mid-air, and the symbol representing the world of twenty knights was suspended behind him in the same way.

"You bastard... Even at this point, you still want to get in my way! Do you really want to replace me and become an existence beyond all worlds?!"

"wrong."

The sound, seemingly echoing throughout the world, resonated directly in Tide's heart, shaking his very soul.

"I didn't come here for something trivial."

The world seemed to be frozen.

Without anyone noticing, Tide's palms gradually became covered in an unwanted feeling of sweat.

Those were words that were even more suffocating than a black hole.

"I'm here to kill you."

The sensation, like a sharp blade piercing through Teid's entire body, ran through him.

"Finish Time! Grand Zi-O!"

Boom! Golden light illuminated the entire world.

at last.

The emotions that had been brewing for a while finally erupted completely from Tide's heart.

—It is called fear.

"Ughh ...

Tide, trembling as if unable to bear it, stared wide-eyed at the black flames and threw out the plasma burst arc that he had barely managed to charge up.

Meaningless.

The frontal explosion swept across the world almost instantly, and the endless burst wiped out the surrounding area in one fell swoop.

At least billions of superclusters of galaxies have disappeared, a range that could completely overturn the very concept of the observable universe.

then.

Golden light broke through all constraints and re-illuminated the vanished myriad phenomena.

Teed saw it.

From Kuuga to Zi-O, the figures of the twenty riders circled behind the Supreme King, all facing him with a flying kick in their stance.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!

Behind Teed, the symbols of all twenty knights appeared in quick succession, and the golden demon king withdrew all his power and attacked head-on.

The plasma burst arc was completely shattered by his immense force.

"Puwaaaaa...!"

The decisive blow, imbued with the weight of twenty historical figures, landed squarely on Teede's chest.

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

For some reason, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes... but they weren't Tede's tears; they seemed to belong to someone else.

Could it be...?

At this moment, Tede realized that the body he was occupying... did not belong to him alone.

Even so, he still glared at the king before him without any mercy.

"You...cannot possibly...survive to the end."

"In this world, there are countless beings... who will not let you go. The strength of this world... is far greater than you can imagine. With the power of a mere Kamen Rider... you..."

The response to Tide was not from Yan Ming.

"All Twenty Time Break!"

The explosive sound of the ultimate move brought everything to a complete end.

Then, in this utterly destroyed world—

Like cracks, things are constantly and rapidly spreading to every corner of the world.

Click—click, click click click click click click click click click click—!!

The world withered and shattered like cracks, but before that—

To create something, you must first destroy it.

Everything eventually returns to zero, yet it all starts anew from zero.

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

Perhaps he lost consciousness.

An endless darkness, a place of dreams from which there is no way out.

"...like that..."

I heard a sound.

"Well... this matter... you can't handle it alone...!"

The words, which gradually became clearer, reached my ears.

"I don't need any other ideas. As long as there is a future, even if it's just a possibility, I'm willing to fight for it."

"When the first temple collapsed, humanity finally realized that the gods no longer existed, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the gods people worshipped were never there in the first place."

"Because I have long surpassed the gods, I will become their king again... I will live as the demon king who rules over all four worlds."

"Therefore, even if I die... I will still exist as a king."

then.

An endless white light completely illuminated my eyes.

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 448 The Path to the Demon King is Long and Arduous…

The sun rose as usual today.

When Woz opened his eyes, he looked around at the peaceful street, the soft light, and the passersby chatting and laughing as they strolled around or did their own thing.

It's as if nothing ever happened.

Only the memories that remained in my mind told me that none of it was an illusion, nor a dream.

"It's already come to this point."

With a whoosh, Woz flipped the book to almost the very end, which was... the beginning of the book.

It contained a complete and very detailed record of all the things that the group of people had done in this world before.

The events leading up to Yan Ming's transformation into the Supreme Emperor Time King, his defeat of Teid, and his use of his power to save the world were all shown on the screen.

That's right.

Previously, Woz clearly stated that this book could not record major content unrelated to this world, so they could not rely on this book to provide assistance in this world, but the reality is contrary to that.

He concealed this matter from Yan Ming, not even letting him see this information when he was browsing through it.

The very fact that this book only records information about this world is itself a lie.

"Since the Emperor of Time has reached this stage, it means that he will soon reach that realm."

Even stronger than the supreme king of gold, a further ultimate...

pat.

A moment later, Wozniacki immediately closed the book and completely suppressed his facial expressions.

The reason was that an acquaintance was walking towards him.

To be precise, it was an acquaintance followed by a group of other people.
