Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Enferea and Nia looked at Yan Ming with puzzlement.

Yan Ming ignored everyone's reactions and directly shoved the two dials onto the driver.

At that moment, a silver-white clock image slowly appeared behind him.

"Whoa?!"

"What, what is this?!"

Peter and Lucrete exclaimed in surprise, and Dain, who had a huge body, also showed an extremely shocked expression.

Only Ainz Ooal Gown, standing to the side, understood that Yan Ming's actions meant he was about to unleash his full power.

"...Transformation."

The most profound call for transformation in history.

Yan Ming turned the driver and completed the transformation.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

"Armor Time!"

"Huh? What?!"

Enferea stepped back, somewhat startled, because something had emerged from where he was standing.

It is a phantom image that appears to exist in countless dimensions.

They overlapped on Yan Ming's body like armor, completing the Decade armor.

"KamenRide! Wow! Decade·Decade! Decade!"

The magenta and black dimensional warrior has reappeared in this world.

However, this time Yan Ming was not as relaxed as before.

The expression beneath the mask was incredibly somber, and even a few beads of sweat dripped down.

The Forest Wise King... is very likely the strongest enemy to date, and he is right in front of us.

"Moreover, if we don't get rid of it, it will only lead to more people dying."

Yan Ming made up his mind.

"What cool armor...! But why does it look so strange from the front?"

With a surge of passion, Lucrete couldn't help but turn to face Yan Ming and start criticizing him.

"Also, what was that sound just now?"

"Huh? Lucrot, what are you talking about?"

"Hey Nia, didn't you guys hear that? It's that one! Something about Carmen... or something like that, and I think she even yelled in the middle!"

"What the hell are these guys talking about... But then again, why does he have to shout 'Transformation!' every time he transforms into that form? And don't those sound effects feel awkward? Come to think of it, I just realized he looks like one of those masked superhero tokusatsu shows I used to watch! No, no, it's totally him!!"

Ainz Ooal Gown quickly suppressed these chaotic thoughts.

at this time.

Indeed, an unparalleled tremor resounded from within the forest.

"coming!"

Peter, as the guild leader, immediately raised his weapon.

The others did the same, taking out their weapons, looking around with extreme vigilance, and huddling together.

Enferea, of course, quickly fled behind the group.

"Good morning, I wish I hadn't come along...!"

"It's too late to regret it now, Enfilea. This level of commotion is definitely it..."

"The Wise King of the Forest...!"

"This is really troublesome. I never thought that we little adventurers would have the chance to meet the Forest King!"

"Hey everyone, I hope we'll all be alive after this battle to find what we're looking for!"

Hearing those words, which sounded like they were about to die, Yan Ming felt an even greater sense of pressure.

Countless lives were thus placed on their shoulders.

“…Nabe.”

Ainz Ooal Gown, standing to the side, also drew two heavy swords from his back and whispered something very serious to Narberal beside him.

"If there's a situation, don't hesitate to use all your strength, and I'll be able to return to a state where I can cast magic."

“But if we still can’t defeat them after all this… then we should prepare to escape directly. Even if it’s just you and me, we must return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Seemingly sensing the solemnity of Ainz Ooal Gown's words, Narberal's tone also became extremely serious.

"If anything unexpected happens, I will never let you get hurt. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you!"

Everyone was fully aware of their responsibilities.

Both Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown were prepared to fight to the death.

"It's amazing that you humans even made it here."

A chaotic, indistinct sound came from within the forest.

Everyone could clearly feel a powerful aura rushing through the surrounding jungle.

"In recognition of your courage, I, the Wise King of the Forest, will grant you a special privilege."

"That is... to use my full strength to completely turn you into my food, making it absolutely impossible for you to survive!!"

The earth was shaking incessantly.

The more vigilant everyone was about all this, the more the pressure they felt kept rising.

Yan Ming quickly took out the Heisei Sword.

'The strongest enemy…'

Ainz Ooal Gown gripped his twin swords tightly to the limit.

'It's right in front of me...!'

In that instant, Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown were prepared to unleash all the power they could muster.

Immediately afterwards, a great fear, awe-inspiring and supreme over the world, descended—

A large Djungarian hamster emerged from the bushes.

"Be terrified! Flee! After witnessing my terrifying, colorless body of death, let out your mournful cries!"

"He's here! The Forest Wise King...!"

"Nia, prepare the magic! Damn it... Even if I die, you all must survive!"

"What are you saying, Peter! Everyone is prepared to die together, how could we possibly abandon you alone!"

"No matter who the enemy is, we have our own beliefs... Alright! Bring it on! Forest Wise King, we will not yield! Not even to the death!!"

The crowd shouted with great enthusiasm, and Enferea behind them was terrified!

"…ah?"

For a moment, Yan Ming almost thought he had died from a stroke because his blood vessels in his brain had failed to hold.

Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't help but drop his sword to the ground.

Woz's lips twitched, and even Nabella couldn't help but show an extremely strange expression.

"This is... the Wise King of the Forest?"

"That's right! Look at its terrifying appearance... it's practically the embodiment of despair!"

To be precise, this is a large Djungarian hamster.

It has light brown fur, a rather long tail, a pair of adorable big eyes, and two large incisors.

"Don't fucking tell me this hamster is the so-called Wise King?"

"Of course! It's absolutely terrifying!"

"Yes! Look at its sharp teeth, terrifying tail, and horrifying body and fur!"

"What's truly terrifying are those eyes... such powerful and intelligent eyes, the kind of eyes only a strong person would have!!"

The sheer terror of the aura alone made everyone present unable to lift their feet.

"Hmph~ You're despairing because of my handsome figure, aren't you! But it's too late, you insignificant humans!"

"I'm doomed! I can't even lift my legs in front of this ultimate monster... Is this the legendary aura that can destroy the world?!"

The crowd trembled uncontrollably, and an atmosphere of despair gradually spread throughout the entire forest.

Yan Ming stared at the large, silly-looking hamster from the closest possible distance.

"Hahaha! You two humans are my enemies? I'm quite touched! But it's meaningless~"

"Well, that's it."

Woz, standing behind him, felt his mouth about to cramp up, while Yan Ming turned around to look at Ainz Ooal Gown beside him.

"Are you going to take action?"

"...Why don't you come and hit me?"

Ainz Ooal Gown had Nabella support him, and because the contrast in circumstances was so great, he almost fell to the ground and broke his leg.

"You're very careful with your strength. I'm afraid I'll go too far and turn this hamster into hamster paste."

Yan Ming sighed and plunged the Heisei Sword into the ground.

And so, in front of everyone, he slowly approached his incomparable and strongest enemy, the Forest Wise King.

"No, no! Mr. Yan Ming!!"

"I can't let you go and die like this... Why?!"

"Damn it... Is there really no other way? Must we just watch our new comrades die like this?!"

Completely ignore the absurd comments behind him.

Yan Ming stacked his thumb and forefinger together... with less than 10% of his power.

I flicked the other person's head very, very, very lightly.

"Aaaaaaaah, it hurts so much!!!"

Then the hamster rolled around on the spot and howled in pain, eventually crying out in agony.

This scene completely terrified everyone behind them.

"...Huh?"

"Are you kidding me? You actually defeated the Forest King with a single blow?!"

"Such a thing actually happened? Those eyes were so powerful and wise; he must be a strong person! It seems Mr. Yan Ming is an even more powerful savior than the Forest Wise King!!"

Stop playing.

I feel like I can barely speak anymore.

Yan Ming immediately deactivated his transformation and looked at Ainz Ooal Gown beside him.

"How about... I give it to you?"

"...I don't want it."

"Didn't you want to increase your reputation? Bringing this... Forest Wise King back would probably be the best way to increase your reputation."

Indeed… Ainz Ooal Gown quickly considered his current purpose. To the people of this world, this… uh, Forest Wise King was indeed a very powerful monster.

Defeating it and bringing it back to the city will surely bring you great prestige.

but…

"You really want me to walk this huge, fat hamster down the street?!"
