Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Even though it's hidden by the cloak, that face must be filled with fear right now.

"It's alright. Now that we're at the shelter, there shouldn't be any problems."

"He's right, little girl, don't worry... we will definitely make sure everyone is safe."

The person in charge comforted Aoi in a gentle tone.

In fact, everyone should understand whether the situation is good or bad even if it's not explicitly stated.

But the staff members in front of us who are responsible for maintaining everyone's evacuation are the ones who will never let people lose their hope.

—Buzz!

That instant.

Yan Ming felt a burning sensation in his pocket again.

"If you can truly inherit the history of that Demon King, then in the near future, this blank dial will naturally react."

Memories surfaced in my mind.

At that moment, the words spoken by the mysterious man seemed to appear before Yan Ming's eyes, causing a brief, sharp pain in his head.

"Hey... what's wrong?"

"…fine."

When asked by the rescuers, Yan Ming simply waved his hand.

That man, he's still outside.

No, he's just outside... this kind of weather obviously can't affect him.

Why did this happen? Is he involved in all of this?

as well as.

For some reason, when the object in his pocket felt hot, Yan Ming had a thought.

"Find that man, and everything will be answered."

"…Excuse me."

Therefore, Yan Ming, who possessed extraordinary thinking, made a decision directly.

"There is another person outside."

"What, what did you say?"

Where is that person? Where did you see him?

“That location… even if I tell you now, you won’t be able to find it in time. If we don’t hurry, that person might be in mortal danger.”

"Hey—what are you planning to do?!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yan Ming did something that seemed like something out of a madman to them.

He was going to leave the refuge and go out to find the person he had spoken of.

"Yan Ming?! What are you doing?!"

"Sorry, please take good care of this girl for me."

"What a joke... kid! Do you know how bad things are outside—whoa?!"

It looks like a storm is coming.

In that instant, the entire shelter seemed to sway violently.

The lights started flashing, and Yan Ming took the opportunity to run towards the entrance of the shelter.

"Come back quickly! Don't do anything foolish!!"

Although the refugees wanted to capture Yan Ming, it was too late.

The earthquake-like tremors caused the roof tiles to collapse.

The entrance to the underground shelter has been blocked.

You can still faintly hear their calls, and what sounds like a girl crying.

Yan Ming himself had already completely fled to the outside world.

"...I'm sorry, Aoi."

Ordinary people would never do something that is suicidal.

An unparalleled storm swept around, and Yan Ming, who was only covered by a cloak, was like this.

He moved step by step toward the location he had seen.

Strange weather, unimaginable feelings, a girl with special powers seen yesterday, and a monster called a witch.

as well as.

The unidentified man, and the watch face he gave himself.

Everything seemed to be connected.

Therefore, he was quite certain that if he didn't go to find that man, things might take a turn for the worse in a future he absolutely did not want to unfold...

Yan Ming pulled the object that shimmered with purple light from his pocket and quickened his pace.

His consciousness and awareness will always remain as unbreakable as ice, just as they were at the beginning.

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

This is the rooftop of a building.

Even amidst the raging storm, the young man remained unmoved.

Holding an incredibly thick book, he gently turned his head and looked towards the staircase.

He laughed.

Because from the stairs, a figure could be vaguely seen slowly walking up.

“I knew you would come here.”

The young man walked towards Yan Ming with an expression that seemed to suggest joy or excitement.

"...What exactly are you...?"

Taking a deep breath, Yan Ming stared at him with a sharp look in his eyes.

Who exactly are you?

"Please allow me to formally introduce myself."

Despite the strong wind, the man bowed with great respect.

You can call me Woz.

"He's not anyone special, just... the one who guides you on your path to inheriting the history of the king and becoming the new Demon King."

"Judging from the current situation, you have indeed proven yourself to be qualified to be king."

boom--!!!

During their conversation, Yan Ming heard a tremendous explosion coming from afar.

Something exists in the distance.

"As expected, you were able to see that kind of monster too."

Near the bridge close to the coast, there is a shadow that is even larger than a building.

It's like a doll, except it's upside down.

Every now and then, an incredibly eerie sound, like a mocking laugh, would come from the doll's mouth.

The doll has some kind of base on top, which looks like... a stage?

The reason for the explosion was that the doll-like monster was fighting someone.

A girl who constantly moves between buildings, using various firearms to fight back.

It's the person I saw yesterday.

"That is, the largest witch of destruction in the world today, the Witch's Night."

"They actually called her a witch...?"

Upon hearing Woz's explanation, Yan Ming immediately connected it to the monster he had seen yesterday.

Although there are significant differences in appearance, from a sensory perspective... they do seem to be the same thing.

However, the monster known as the Witch's Night is clearly more dangerous than yesterday's monster.

It's far more dangerous.

"This world is not simply a technological world."

It seems he was reading the contents of that book.

Woz opened the book and read the contents aloud as if reciting a narration.

"In this world, there are mysteries that are opposites of positive and negative. Among them, the negative is represented by witches, just like the monsters we see."

"And what the front represents is the magical girl... the one who is currently fighting against that witch's night."

Magical girl... No wonder she displayed that level of ability yesterday.

Although he had only seen similar things on TV and in comic books, Yan Ming knew very well that these were real.

He himself is also a crystallized collection of supernatural events.

"If we don't stop it now, that magical girl alone won't be able to stop it."

"Oh dear, judging by the time, Witch's Night will probably completely destroy the entire Mitakihara City in about thirty minutes."

To say something extraordinary in a calm tone.

"And this is only the most conservative estimate. According to this book, if the power of the Witch's Night were to be fully unleashed..."

"Not to mention a city, it will completely wipe out all human civilization on this planet."

In other words, humanity will become extinct.

Realizing that this wasn't just about the survival of Mitakihara City, but concerned billions of people on Earth, Yan Ming's expression changed—

Nothing has changed.

"...You're really quite composed, you don't seem flustered at all?"

"This statement seems equally applicable to you."

"Hahaha! An ordinary person would have been terrified in this situation, yet you can still say such things!"

Once Wozniak understood this, he actually seemed quite pleased.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can face them with a calm attitude. Isn't this composure precisely what makes you a worthy king?"

Time is slipping away, bit by bit.

Yan Ming and Woz confronted each other, constantly throwing out various questions and offering answers.

"What exactly is the king you're referring to?"

But on this point, Woz simply responded with a laugh.

Om-! ! !

The burning sensation grew stronger and stronger.

Yan Ming hurriedly took out the gleaming object from his pocket, but now it had undergone a tremendous change.

It is directly represented as a black and white dial that records numbers and patterns.

It only showed a string of numbers.
