Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"But since the person is already dead, there's no point in saying anything more."

"On another note..."

Beside her, Aura, with a displeased expression, fiddled with a small object in her hand.

"What's the point of this thing? The residual energy we gathered at great personal risk is just this?"

If you look closely, you'll see that it's a watch face.

Aura's watch face has a dark green mask icon, while Ur's has a dark red pattern.

In Swartz's hands, the pattern was purple and white.

"I did want to ask that too, Swartz... is it really okay for Another Kuuga to be destroyed?"

"no problem."

"But wasn't that Outcast Kuuga supposed to be really powerful? Turned from that guy named Toku..."

"That's the strength he achieved through other means, a method that even I can't fully understand... But it doesn't matter, Another Kuuga could do it directly, so let's not worry about his stuff."

"Then... what's the point of collecting the power of these guys?"

Ur looked at the watch face in his hand.

“Gates, and Woz… those two guys’ knight power-made anomaly dials don’t seem that impressive.”

"I feel like I can't beat them at all."

"...Ah, you're right. With that level of power, it's really impossible to defeat those people."

Swartz's face—was clearly smiling.

"That's because neither of you knows how to use them correctly."

"…What?"

"Alright, let's leave this world first. We've achieved our goal of coming here: to collect these two watch faces. I'll explain the details to you later."

With a buzzing sound, Swartz's body completely disappeared from this world.

Aura clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"What is that arrogant attitude...!"

"It doesn't matter, right? Anyway, the two of us can't beat him, so it's better not to make things difficult for ourselves by throwing a tantrum."

"Who are you calling a tantrum?!"

The two Time Jackers followed closely behind, and together they disappeared from the spot.

Three more people disappeared from this world...

Volume 9: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 449 Farewell to the Heisei Knights

Afterwards, Wozniak and the others went to the street to check on the situation.

"It's truly changed completely..."

The magical girls that were once scattered all over the world have now vanished without a trace.

There was no trace of destruction left on the streets, and people continued to live their lives as usual. Those who had been turned into magical girls should have now returned to their normal lives.

As Wozniak said.

Perhaps... this world has already been completely saved by Yan Ming.

"Isn't this great?"

Yusuke Godai couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with a grin.

"That's wonderful~ Everyone has been saved, and the destroyed cities have been restored. As expected... entrusting power and history to Yan Mingjun was definitely the right decision!"

"I think so too. I have no regrets at all about entrusting my power to someone like him."

That's one way of putting it.

"that…"

Ryotaro, who was standing to the side, said something as if he sensed that something was wrong.

"They said they were handing over the power to Yan Mingjun, but shouldn't all of us still be able to transform?"

"...Huh?"

"Huh?! Is that so?"

Yusuke and Hibiki were both stunned.

Speaking of which, after being reminded by that god-like man who suddenly appeared, they always thought that after acknowledging Yan Ming, they would hand over their power and history to Yan Ming, which would mean that their own power would also disappear... That's how it should be.

Even though they had all tacitly agreed, Ryotaro... simply pulled out Den-O's train ticket from his pocket.

"No way?"

Only at this moment did Yusuke Godai clearly begin to feel his own body.

Something in his abdomen was still there, waiting for his next use.

And Hibiki... the tuning fork fastened to his waist was still there; it hadn't disappeared.

"I forgot to tell you beforehand that, for some reason, when you acknowledge me as the Demon King, the power will not be drawn from you, but from this book."

"Is...that so?"

"I see. But... it would be great if I could get rid of the power within me. Actually, I'd rather be more ordinary."

"That's true, but if there's anything dangerous in the future, we'll still need your help, Godai-kun."

"That makes sense, Mr. Hibiki! Ah, or perhaps you could say Mr. Hidaka?"

"Whether it's Hidaka Hitoshi or Hibiki, it's fine if you want to call me, okay?"

Hibiki flicked his hand and said with a contented air.

Ryotaro was the only one.

It is precisely because of his existence as a singularity that he has a better understanding of history and matters related to Kamen Rider.

Normally, such a thing shouldn't be possible, but...

--Snapped.

At that moment, Ryotaro felt a pat on the shoulder.

That was Wozniak standing beside him.

"Huh... Woz-kun?"

"There's nothing to worry about, Mr. Nogami."

Wozniak simply smiled calmly.

"More important than these things, I think we should be concerned about your situation going forward."

"what…"

“Sakurai Ikuto just told me that he’s over there with Tendo Souji and Tomari Shinnosuke waiting for you. Crossing worlds is inherently unpredictable, so… you’d better return to your original world as soon as possible.”

"That's true..."

Woz nodded and then walked straight ahead.

Only Ryotaro, looking completely bewildered, remained standing there.

"Hey, Ryotaro, what's wrong? Aren't you coming with the others?"

Momotaros's voice echoed in his heart.

Ryotaro, however, was still staring intently at Woz's departing figure.

In his mind, all sorts of strange feelings began to surge.

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

After showing everyone around the city, they arrived at the back of the mountain.

The ecology here is relatively pristine, and hardly anyone comes here, so Yudou placed both Den-Liner and Zero-Liner here.

Upon arriving at the two trams, one can see Tendo Souji leaning against one of the trams and Tomari Shinnosuke standing beside the tram.

At the same time, Yan Ming was standing right next to them.

"You guys are too slow."

Sakurai Ikuto walked over with his arms crossed.

"What's the rush with you?"

Buzz—! Momotaros jumped off Ryotaro's body in an instant.

"We've been here for a while now, what's wrong with staying a little longer? I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Seriously... it's a shame you guys are Den-O's Imagin."

For beings from different worlds like them to interact is already a very unusual thing, let alone stay here for a long time.

…Aside from Zi-O, Woz, and Geiz, those three guys don't seem to be born with the ability to cause any abnormal phenomena.

"Now that everyone is here, it's about time we prepared to leave together."

"Um... I'm really grateful to you all this time."

Without the help of these Heisei Knights, Yan Ming and his group would never have been able to overcome this problem.

Therefore, Yan Ming expressed his sincere gratitude.

"It's nothing. If you have any further questions, just let us know."

"We'll come no matter how far away you are, as long as you're willing to call."

First, Shinnosuke and Tendou Souji boarded the train together.

"...Speaking of which, Mr. Sakurai, what should we do with our Tridon?"

"What special milk bean paste...? You mean your train? Just tie it to the back of the train, that's all."

"Huh? You, are you serious?!"

"Okay, don't be so scared! It won't break, I promise!"

Next up are the remaining few people.

"Alright kid, how should I put it... I've had a pretty good time with you these past few days."

Momotaros crossed his arms and adopted a serious, pretentious air.

"So, next time you have any trouble, just call us... as long as you're willing to cook something delicious for us! Like pudding!"

"Are you a dog, senpai?!"

"Only dogs would think about food all the time, right? Hmm, I knew it."

The other demons started arguing again, and Ryotaro quickly pulled them into the car.

but.

Before leaving... he gave Woz a deep look.

"What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

Faced with Yan Ming's doubts, Ryotaro simply took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, but... Yan Mingjun."

"I think the path you will take in the future will not be a simple one."

After leaving behind this somewhat strange remark, Ryotaro boarded the train.

"Goodbye, boy...or rather, young man~"

"If we have the chance in the future, we should meet again, right? I'm really sure of it!"

Hibiki and Yusuke also said goodbye to everyone. Finally, with Ikuto returning to the train, the two trains disappeared completely on the edge of the sky.

"It's finally... over."
